“First time using Rover, and I'm so glad a friend recommended it! Tricia has great communication and attention to detail. She asked questions and everything was great when I got back from my trip. My elderly cat was well cared for. I will definitely book Tricia again!”
“Gabriel was prompt, made visits during the time frames I requested, and was respectful of my home and kept things clean. He gave my one very social cat attention during each visit and was able to get photos of one of my very shy cats at each visit. I felt like my cats were in good hands.”
“Karen was very responsive to communication and kept me up on her schedule. She showed up as planned and made sure our 3 cats had everything they needed in our absence. I would definitely recommend Karen to anyone needing a trusted caregiver.”
About: Your pets are family, and they deserve the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. I provide dependable, genuine pet care with a personal touch—treating every dog like they’re my own. I rescued my sweet girl Hashbrown when she was just a tiny puppy, cared for friends and family pets my entire life.I enjoy animals and their company plain and simple. I’m currently available M-F after 2pm for all your pet care needs. I can make myself available for extended care throughout the week if necessary and can do overnight stay as well. We have a decent sized fenced in back yard and a very friendly small breed puppy, so your puppy will feel very welcome. I am confident in my ability to care for your pup and their needs!
About: I’m currently retired so I have plenty of time to give your cat or kitten the attention they deserve. I am available weekdays and weekends. I’ll have time to change or scoop litter, feed and give fresh water to your cat. If you like I can also play with them. I will make sure your cat does not escape and enter and leave fully aware of where your cat is. I will be the only person entering your home and only enter rooms you point out unless your cats are hiding when I do a head count. I would suggest you close doors to rooms you don’t want me or your cats to enter. You can trust me with your pet. My vet or staff will vouch for me.
“Tricia took great care of my cat while I was away for a few days! She took the time to play with her and send adorable photos (in addition to the planned caregiving tasks). Tricia was professional and very kind. I will absolutely be having her back to cat sit again!”
About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around them. I also have experience dog sitting for a friend, including staying overnight to care for her dogs while she was away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and company! I’m currently an online college student and work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s normal routine! I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you leave for your pets and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care while making sure they’re safe and comfortable in their own home.
“Valerie was great with Oscar. He had lost weight from some health issues the week before we left and was on medication. Valerie was able to give him his pills without any issues and he actually gained some weight while we were away. I was so happy! We will definitely use Valerie again in the future.”
“Justin was so easy to work with! He took great care of my two cats and sent a lot of pictures. I would definitely bring Justin in for future trips to help watch my angels.”
About: I have volunteered at the Feline Urgent Rescue & Rehab in Waynesville, NC. I have 4 cats and 1 dog in my family home and I love all animals!! I am currently a college student at UNCG. I have lots of time to play and care for your fur babies after class and studying. I can follow all the rules for you and your pet. I can crate them if needed, let them outside and keep an eye on them. I will treat your pets with respect and relay any information to you.
About: I’ve had pets in my home ever since childhood. I make it my priority to put my fur babies first and would do the same with yours! I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, and I pay close attention to details so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and provide reliable care with clear communication and regular updates. I value trust, community, and long-term relationships, and I’m experienced with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. I do work a full-time job so my schedule does fluctuate. I am very willing to work out a time and place! I’m here to dedicate my time into taking care of your babies :) Make sure they’re fed accordingly to their diet, insure they have access to water constantly. Check on them multiple times a day and of course give them the attention they need.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westwood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $20 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
