“Tara is amazing. She’s dropped in twice now with my dog. We had all sorts of issues with the garage door opener and she figured it out so that I didn’t have to rush home to let her in. (Totally my issue). She is also great with the dog. Nice long walks and lots of pictures”

“We would’ve left more stars if possible just for peace of mind alone! Tessa was attentive, caring and made each interaction smooth and stress free. Lola looked happy in all the updates and coming home she was in great shape. We absolutely would recommend Tessa and look forward to continue working with her many more times in the future.”

About: When I was 13, my family and I adopted our first dog who came with a rife set of challenges from biting to aggression to anti-social behavior. Over 10 years later, our problematic puppy has become the grumpy yet lovable old dog that he is through intensive training, love, and (lots of) patience. Having taken care of such a pet, I can handle anything. Since then, I have dog-sat and puppy-sat for family members and friends and have loved it! I love dogs, whether they are bouncing puppies or low-key seniors, I love them all. I work part time at the Wellesley Free Library and work from home a few hours a week as a tutor. With the beautiful weather we get, I am always looking for a good excuse to get outside! I have a flexible schedule which can vary slightly week-to-week. I live with two other adults, my boyfriend and roommate. We have a two-story house with a basement. All three of us our dog lovers, with my roommate and I having owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a lead that we can hook up a dog too. The lead is suited for dogs over 100 pounds, and pups can explore the backyard while being safe. As for care, we follow the owners' instructions in terms of walks, potty breaks, food, and sleep schedules. All three of us having varying work schedules, making it easy to accommodate early risers and night owls.

“Ani cares for our two special needs dogs for the past week making visits for daily care I.e. feeding and walking as well as giving insulin shots We were updated for every visit with details of their day along with photos She takes her love and professional knowledge, and experience to care for our pets emotional needs as well. Lots of hugs and back massages for anxiety Ani updated us with any concerns that she had resolved them easily which gave my husband and I a stressless and relaxing vacation. We would recommend Ani without hesitation, and look forward to caring for our pets again”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the level of care and personal attention I give to every animal I watch. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs—whether that means extra playtime, a quiet walk, or just lots of cuddles. With experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I’m confident handling everything from high-energy pups to shy or senior pets. I’m also reliable and flexible, and I make sure pet parents feel at ease by providing regular photo updates and communication. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but pet care fits into my schedule throughout the week starting around 5:00 p.m. Please feel free to message me to see what works! When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, crate time (if needed), and any special care instructions.
“Emily did an excellent job of taking care of our beloved fur babies. She went over and above the call of duty, heading over to visit before the snowstorm and then trekking through thigh-deep snow before the snow removal folks did their job. She sent us updates and photos every day and adjusted their food based on what she noticed. We came home to happy kitties. Thank you, Emily.”

About: Hi! I love dogs and honestly all animals, but I grew up with dogs and they are all so special. I have experience with many breeds, sizes, ages. I am a nurse who works 3x 12 hour shifts a week, so I have a lot of flexibility on my days off to help out for any hours. I live in an apartment but there is a dog park near by and many sidewalks. I love to take dogs on long walks and spend a lot of time outside!

“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m a registered nurse, mom of four daughters, and lifelong dog lover. Dogs have always been a part of my family, and I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. As a nurse and a mom, caring for others comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and understand how important routines, safety, and a little extra TLC can be. I’ve had dogs throughout my life and have also helped care for family members’ pets for years. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is doing well. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! As a part-time nurse in Boston, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for and walking local dogs. I would love to help local pet owners by keeping their dogs active, happy, and well cared for while they are away or busy with their day. I will treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and well-being. You can feel confident knowing your dog is safe on a leash.

About: Hi, I’m Alex, and I run Dover Doggy Hotel & Daycare LLC! I cater to residents in the Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Walpole areas. Your dogs, are my medicine. I don’t feel complete without one. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always believed that every pup deserves love, safety, and a cozy place to call home. I started out working for PETCO in aquatics in high school and fell in love with animals From 2012–2014, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine, where I taught English at the high school level in Dnipro, where I also co-managed an animal shelter caring for more than 150 dogs. During that time, I fostered Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, and other large breeds, gaining hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, large, high-energy dogs. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs of all sizes through fostering, boarding, and walking and daycare. Today, I mainly host small and medium sized dogs. I have a safe, fenced-in yard to play in, and plenty of cozy spots inside where pups are welcome on the couch (and yes, even in the bed if that’s what they’re used to!). I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for larger dogs at their own homes and walking. I also run a flexible,, multi option daycare program. I treat every dog like family, tailoring care to their needs—whether that’s long walks, lots of playtime, or just snuggles and companionship. I also have multiple client references available upon request. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to give them the care and attention they deserve! Right now, pet care is my top priority! I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate full-time attention to the dogs I care for. While I do have the occasional online doctor’s appointment or small obligations, my days are wide open for walks, playtime, and socialization. I can comfortably care for up to 4* dogs in my home at a time, giving them lots of one-on-one attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available for up to 4 dogs* (depending on size). My flexible routine means your pup will never feel rushed; just relaxed, loved, and cared for like family. Daily routine is up for first bathroom break out back at 8:30, walks and or dog park every day and another bathroom break at 9 -9:30. In bed by 10-10:30. I have one of the best facilities on Rover. You will not be disappointed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my #1 priority. I live on a 1 acre property with a gigantic fenced-in backyard where pups can play securely and safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable….on the couch, in bed, or by my side. Trust is very important to me. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog like my own, with patience, kindness, and consistency. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your pup is happy, safe, and cared for. There’s no other animals* (possibly other dogs boarding) or children in the home to distract or to become an issue. When caring for a clients home, I treat it as if it were my own and offer extra services like bringing in mail & feeding fish & basic general tasks etc. If you would like to see the property you can take a virtual tour here and see where your dog will be staying and to get a sense of the size of the property upon request.
About: I've been walking my dogs my whole life; I've had an Akita, two Shiba Inus, and one husky mutt (all raised from puppies). I have dealt with all of the care required. I've taken care of many of my family and friend's pets as well as worked at a dog day care "3 muttskateers" for half a year. Im currently interning at a nearby studio and would love to spend some of my free time walking or checking in on dogs. I live near Leicester and am willing to make drives to spend time with your furry friend. I am very patient with dogs, allowing them to take the time they need to do what they need to do. I am aware that most dogs have boundaries, and just because they are showing them does not make them badly behaved at all. If instructed, I also have a lot of experience being stern.
“Tauryn was amazing with our two dogs! She was punctual and communicative. The pictures she sent were so cute. They both seemed so happy when we returned from our trip! We will definitely use her for drop in care again!”

About: Hi, I’m Al! 🐾 I’m a dog walker and trainer in training who loves getting dogs outside—whether it’s a long hike, group walk, or just burning off energy. I have experience handling multiple dogs and making sure everyone feels safe and has a great time. I love finding spots for dogs to swim, explore, or play fetch—if that’s their thing! In my other life, I’m a women’s sports photographer, so you can expect some pretty great photo updates 📸 My goal is always a happy, tired pup who had the best time! I’m a photographer (yes I can photograph your dog!!) and am flexible with my time management. Weekdays when work is in the way can be tough but I can help! I have experience crating dogs, long walks, special food necessities and lots love! I enjoy giving extra play time and attention or a comfortable lap to nap on!

Ella took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. Ella was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals, our cats were happy, relaxed, and well fed the whole time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westwood is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $35 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 11,424 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Westwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westwood. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
