“Haley was great with my dog! She asked great questions to get to know her beforehand and was very knowledgeable about bigger dogs. I will definitely have her come back!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up with multiple cats and raised my beloved Cavapoo for 16 wonderful years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of a pet's life—from playful puppies and kittens to senior care. I'm also the trusted pet sitter for my family and friends, regularly caring for dogs and cats while they're away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're gone. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just some extra companionship, I'm able to adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In my client's home, I strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for until you return.
“Max is always happy to see Kiffin and she is very easy to communicate with about what you want for your dog. Max needs to be urged along and not sniff every 2 seconds. Kiffin makes sure he gets some decent exercise!”
“Micheal was so patient and kind with our dog. He came over to meet her first, so she was comfortable. This gave me great peace of mind leaving her in his hands!!!”
“Anna was so great with walking our dog, Cleo! She came over the day before to learn about Cleo’s routines & get a layout of the house and yard. Anna walked Cleo & played fetch with her in the yard. She also sent pictures :) we will definitely be using Anna in the future for our drop-in and walking needs!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for pets, I provide reliable, compassionate, and personalized care for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for playful puppies, including reinforcing potty training, crate training, and basic commands through consistency and positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced with senior pets, providing gentle care, administering medications when needed, and ensuring they receive the patience and extra attention they deserve. I work in Education so I’m currently off for summer break,I have very open availability. I am available for drop ins, walks and over night stays! I treat both the home and pets with the utmost respect. I keep everything clean and secure, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel at ease and every owner feel confident that their furry family member is in caring, dependable hands.
About: Hi! I'm Sarah. I grew up with cats and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. A little later on, two adorable golden retrievers joined my family, giving me over 10 years of experience caring for dogs as well. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets who need medication. I've always loved animals, and pet sitting has become one of my favorite ways to spend my time. I enjoy getting to know each pet's personality, building trust with them, and making sure they have plenty of attention, enrichment, and care while their people are away. Whether your pet is outgoing and social or prefers their space, I'm happy to follow their lead and adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I believe trust is earned, not assumed, so I always let animals set the pace and do my best to meet them where they're at. You'll receive plenty of photos and updates throughout your booking, and I'll care for your pets the same way I care for my own: with patience, respect, and lots of attention to their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule to work around your pet’s needs. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can often accommodate extra visits on short notice. For me, the fundamentals of a drop-in are relationship building, care tasks, and enrichment. When I arrive, my first priority is making your pet feel safe and comfortable with my presence in their home, and that usually starts with a hello. Sometimes that means a full cuddle session; sometimes it's just a quick sniff before they go back to doing their own thing. Sometimes I won't see them at all for the first few visits, and that's okay too. Whatever your pet's personality, I'll always let them come to me first. Building trust takes patience, respect, and consistency, and I'm there to meet them where they're at. Once we've said hello, I'll take care of the basics: food, water, medication, litter box, potty break, walk, and any other care tasks we discuss at the meet & greet. I'll always prioritize your pet's immediate needs, whether that's attention, playtime, or simply giving them space if they're feeling unsure. My goal is to make sure everything gets done while keeping them comfortable and stress-free. After that comes enrichment—the fun part! Depending on your pet, that might mean playtime, cuddles, brushing, training reinforcement, or simply keeping them company. I'll also take plenty of photos throughout the visit so you can see how they're doing while you're away. The time you've booked (30 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.) is dedicated entirely to your pet's care and enrichment. Afterward, I'll spend a few extra minutes completing a detailed Rover card with photos and notes about our visit. If my schedule allows, I often stay a little longer, though I can't always guarantee it. This is the general framework I follow, but every visit is tailored to your pet's individual needs and personality. My goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and connected while you're away.
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats!

With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
“Kat did a fabulous job walking my dog 3 times a day while at grandma's house. She really helped out when the dog wouldn't get in the car to be transported to my mother's home for his stay. She was flexible, very personable, and responsible. Kat was just a delight. I am not sure who enjoyed Kat's help more, my mother or my dog! This was my first time using the service and will use again.”

I work a few part time jobs so I am totally flexible with scheduling and making time for your pet or pets around the house I always strive to match your pet’s energy. If they need lots of play time and a walk, let’s do it! If they need to be warmed up to I’ll take my time!
About: My first and foremost goal is to care for you pet the way I would want someone to care for mine. I’ve lived with many animals over the years and I’m never happier than I am with pets. I am currently a college student with classes in the mornings and afternoons, however I have vast availability through the day and I am free anytime after 11 except on mondays. Your pets happiness is my first priority, I offer in home visits to give them some necessary love and attention as well as dog walking services to help get their energy out.

It’s pretty much all integrated within my own routine. I clean the litter box every day, I have alerts for nail trimmings, flea meds, etc. A cat to keep your cat company, a very cleaned, well-maintained apartment with enrichment toys and a balcony for fresh air (if your pet is allowed).
About: I’m that girl who will say hi to every animal I see. I grew up with a beagle and now have black lab mix named Louie, who I rescued in 2019. He is my “child”. 😂 im currently figuring out my career goals after working in accounting and finance roles for the past 15 years. This gives me plenty of flexibility during the day to care for your pup! I have fostered dogs through Is Today My Day rescue and have successfully gotten 4 dogs adopted. It’s not easy saying goodbye but makes me so happy knowing they are going to loving families. I’m so excited to meet your furry family member and love them like one of my own! I’m currently very flexible during the day time so I’m pretty open to dog walks or drop ins when needed. I no longer provide boarding services. My dog has full run of my home. He sleeps in my bed and I have no issues allowing others to do the same. I have a fenced in large patio area with partial yard to potty and play off leash.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
I normally work from home, but had to travel for almost two weeks recently. My dog is my coworker and I was so worried how she would do all day without me there when my family was at work and school during the day. Thank goodness for Monica! It was so wonderful that she was able to come walk my dog at noon every day while I was away. Monica is so sweet and extremely reliable!!! She sent pictures every day of their adventures on their walks which made me smile when I was able to finally glance at my phone for that day. She also gave our cat lots of snuggles too while she was there! I will definitely reach out to her if I need to go out of town for work again and will highly recommend Monica to anyone who needs help with their pets in the future. Thank you Monica!!!! 🐾🐾🐕🐈⬛🐾🐾

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Westwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Westwood.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westwood. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
