“Danny & Jennifer did a great job watching our cats, especially the one with medical issues. Their report and pictures after were so thorough and definitely made us feel better about being away!”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and have never met a dog I can't connect with. I love dogs of all sizes and behaviors; I have experience counseling groups of kids at summer camp, so I have no trouble managing dogs in a group or with rowdy tendencies. I truly love all dogs and would love to meet yours! I am currently working part-time in St. Louis on the weekends, so I am available weekdays at any time. I have access to a car and the ability to be flexible with timing and distance as well, just contact me! I can work with any number and any kind of dog! I grew up with a couple dogs of different sizes and I currently live with 2 little ones, so I am comfortable handling any canine situation! This means I am more than happy to take on any responsibility/task requested, such as administering medication, engaging in frequent or constant activity, intently monitoring an animal for an extended period of time, etc. beyond, of course, walking & relieving your best friend(s)! I will always provide dilligent and careful care of both your pets and your home.
“Suzanne is the best! This is her second time sitting for us and she is great with the girls(cats). Our cats can be shy with strangers but Suzanne manages to get some pets in on her visits! Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
About: I've been a multi-dog and cat-owner my entire life until recently, RIP. I'd love to care for your furry friends as if they were my own while you're away and happy to help tidy as well! I'm injection and medication-friendly and can safely and confidently administer meds. I'm a nurse practitioner for humans at my day-job. I have a fairly flexible full time job and am available most afternoons, evenings, nights and every other weekend. I'm happy to drop in before and after work and take animals on walks or long cuddles on the couch in the evenings. I work with animals of all sizes and breeds, am active and love taking them on walks. I'm happy to administer medications to any age dog.
About: I am a very pet-oriented person, having had cats and dogs in my life since I was small. I am empathetic to when pets need extra reassurance and attention, and go the extra mile to make sure my furry friends feel comfortable and well cared for! I'm always available to answer any questions or concerns, and am independently insured outside of the Rover Guarantee. I am currently working part time which enables me with a lot of flexibility and free time to meet your pet care needs. Chances are great I will be able to accommodate your pet visit or pet sitting schedule needs so feel free to reach out and let's get acquainted! I prefer to care for pets in their regular home space to limit their stress. I will be careful to follow all instructions and prefer written instructions for pet care and any light home care needs you have.
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for nearly 14 years and often pet-sit for friends. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I work full-time in a hybrid role, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care during the day when available, as well as some evenings and weekends. I enjoy making time for pets and will work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! I provide dog walking, drop-in visits at the client’s home, and dogsitting stays by the hour, focusing on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I give them plenty of love, attention, and care while following their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I also have a peanut allergy, so any treats provided must be peanut-free. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Rachelle was wonderful with my kitties. Communication was excellent, and I loved all of the pictures she shared. I think my kittens preferred Rachelle to me.”
About: I grew up around dogs and spent four years volunteering at an animal shelter in college, where I worked with dogs of every size, energy level, and temperament—including shy, anxious, and reactive pups who needed extra patience. Today I'm a dog mom to Coco, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I keep routines consistent, follow your feeding and medication instructions exactly, and send photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I work a full-time consulting job with a flexible, project-based schedule, so I open bookings by date rather than every week. When I'm available, your dog gets my full attention—no hours alone in a crate. My Rover calendar is always kept current, so if a date shows open, I'm truly available. I'm happy to do a meet & greet before any first stay. My home in Webster Groves is a quiet house with a fenced backyard, and the landscaping was planned with dog-safe plants. I host one family's dogs at a time, so your pup is never in a crowd. My dog Coco is a 30 lb mixed breed who is gentle and easygoing with other dogs—she'll play for a bit, then happily nap and give your pup space. She's a little shy with new people, so meet & greets are relaxed and low-pressure. I require a meet & greet before every new stay, walk on leash only, double-check gates and doors, and keep your vet's info and an emergency plan on hand.
“Maya is great. Communication was prompt, she sent nice pictures of my Tabby and she was very thorough in providing her services. My Tabby doesn't like everyone but she was ready to go home with Maya after I came home.”
About: Our family of five loves dogs! We have raised two rescue dogs from puppyhood into their senior years. We help family and friends to walk, feed and take care of their pets while they are away. We have young children who are comfortable around dogs and love to help out! We love spending time with animals and are an active family. We will treat your dog as if it’s our own. We have a large yard and love taking pets on walks. Pets are family and we look forward to spending time playing, petting and taking care of your pet just like they’re family! We raised two rescue dogs that recently passed at age 14 due to old age. Our family misses having pets around and look forward to loving up on your pets. We work from home and have flexible schedules so we have plenty of time to take your dog on breaks throughout the day. We live in a 2700 square foot ranch home and your dog will have access to every room. We enjoy walking dogs and have leashes and plenty of dog toys in our home. Pets are family! They will get lots of pets and walks and be part of our everyday life while they’re home with us whether it’s for a day or the week. Your dog is welcome anywhere in our home and allowed on furniture but we prefer them not to sleep in the bed. We do not have a fenced yard, but we can ensure all members of our household will keep doors closed and secure. We have two crates available in our home.
“Brooklyn was excellent taking care of Sophia. She let us know how she was doing. She gave her medication and always kept us informed and sent pictures. We feel so comfortable with her taking care of Sophia! We would highly recommend Brooklyn!!!”
“Isabelle was awesome! She was even patient enough to get our very shy kitty to allow her some pets. Made sure the house was ok and everything was taken care of. Kitty usually doesn’t eat as much when we’re gone but was eating all her food, I think because she was comfortable. She did a great job!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better Rover sitter! Angie came over the evening before our trip for a meet-and-greet, which immediately put us at ease. She took the time to get to know Molly and even played with her so Molly would be comfortable before we left. While we were away, Angie was dependable, caring, and treated Molly like she was her own. Every visit wasn't just a quick potty break—she spent time playing with Molly and making sure she had attention and companionship while we were gone. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Molly was in such great hands while we were in New York. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and genuinely loves animals, we highly recommend Angie. We will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you for taking such great care of Molly!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Keirra did an amazing job taking care of our two cats during our 10 days of international travel. I appreciated her informative daily updates with photos as well as her willingness to water plants and bring in our mail. When our flights home were delayed, she even agreed to be on standby for an extra day if our return home had to be extended. Very responsible and reliable! We look forward to another opportunity to book services with Keirra again.
Kiffin did an amazing job on such short notice! My husband and I had an event that day that I thought I’d be able to drop in around lunch and when I found out that wasn’t going to happen, she was able to come over to let my babies out! I always appreciate photos and although I didn’t have any cell reception where I was, I was hoping to have left Kiffin with enough details that she would be able to be good with the dogs since this was the first time I have asked her to come over. She did a fantastic job and I would definitely use her again!
Courtney is a warm, professional and detail oriented person who wants to do the best job possible. She saved the day when my regular sitter was unable to help. She was calm and meeting my somewhat reactive German Shepherd and was comfortable with that dogs energy which probably made the dog feel much more comfortable. They became good friends at the end. I would highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westwood is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 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 2,780 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
