“Karen is the BEST! She took such great care of my 2 dogs! They are still pups and are needy and get into a lot of mischief, but Karen went above and beyond! I highly recommend Karen and hope she is always available to take care of my dogs in the future. One dog is very timid and cautious around strangers but she took to Karen right away. One dog got injured before we left and Karen took excellent care of her wound. One dog was a picky eater and had to be spoon fed, but Karen got my dog to eat on her own, which my dog has continued to do, even after we came home!”
“Camila was great with Tilly! She showed up on time and took awesome care of her. When I got home, Tilly was super calm and happy, so I know she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Camila again. Highly recommend!”
“Yvette was awesome! Took such good care of my 3 little fur babies. Definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and I was in the loop with pictures and updates. One million percent would book again! Thank you!!!! 🐾🐾🐾”
“I must admit I was extremely nervous and a little hesitant to leave my girl with someone I had just met- but Alicia went the extra mile to make me feel up to date and at ease with everything that was going on when i was away. She updated me with pictures and videos and even got some presents for my cat so that they could play together. I totally recommend her! Thanks so much for your special attention with her!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.
“Rhinesca took great care of Tyler while we were away. She took him for walks, made sure he had fresh water and food, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Communication was excellent, and I really appreciated knowing Tyler was being well cared for. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: *** Please don't send me requests for dates if you see my calendar is already blocked off with those dates & PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING *** I keep my calendar up to date so use other dates if Rover insists you must pick dates for sitting in order for a message to go thru** Also, if booking for day care, after 4 hours of a stay, this is going to get the full day rate because I do not take multiple dogs I am also charging for 3 days when it's a weekend if the dog is coming early on Friday and going home on Sunday because I can't have a dog for 3 days and only get paid for 2 days. I have only raised my rate by $1-2 since Covid & take one family of dogs at a time. Please respond back to all messages if you reach out. Thx. ** I am trying to take dogs now under 50 pounds, very small/small to medium preferred. It would be very helpful if you list the specific breed of your dog too and give details. No aggressive breeds taken, sorry, no Pitbulls. My husband and I both work from home as my only job is caring for the dogs staying at my house. It is nice because someone is always here and the dogs get a ton of attention. My name is Hope Landow-Schnur and I adore dogs. I raised my own dogs for over 14+ years - Bailey and Jango. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am the ultimate pet lover and treated my dogs as well as my children. We have a nice home in River Vale, NJ with a huge 6' high fenced in yard. I am married with triplets - 22 years old and they love playing with our guest dogs. I have my own big crate set up (only if you crate your dog) and ready to welcome your dog(s) into my home when you need to be away overnight or for an extended period of time. I will do my best to keep your treasured pet on their own schedule with feedings, playtime and time outside running around the back yard or if you prefer, walks only. I've made floor dogs into lap dogs, they get extra spoiled with me! You will also get lots of photos & updates when you are away. I just recently changed my setting to small to medium dogs if you are a repeat customer and can not find me on line. I'm also available for dog day care in my home if my calendar is free. After 6 hours, it is considered a full rate instead of the daily rate if you plan to leave your dog with me. Looking forward to hearing from you & I respond back promptly! Thanks. Hope
“Megan is an exceptional pet sitter! She looked after my cat while I was away, and I could not be happier with her service. Megan was reliable, caring, and deeply attentive to my cat's specific needs, which gave me complete peace of mind.I especially loved the thorough daily reports and the adorable photos she sent. Her communication kept me connected and reassured. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver for their pets, and I will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Sam is the best! My two boys are getting to be in their senior years and are very different. Jimmy is on the bigger side around 40 pounds and rambunctious and Dwight is on the smaller side around 25 pounds and pretty lazy. Sam interacted and loved both boys and was so lovely and attentive on his visits to feed them while we were away on vacation. We are so glad to have found Sam 😌”
About: I have raised my two cats Ginger and Marble since they were a few weeks old, and they are 8 now. While I’m away at school (Babson College in Wellesley), I miss my cats and would love to take care of your pets. I often take care of my cousins’ dogs, and my girlfriend’s dogs as well. I schedule my life around the needs of your pets. My classes are from Monday - Thursday in the afternoon, so I can walk pets in the morning or evening every day. Walking is one of my favorite pastimes so I can spend a lot of time outdoors with your pets if they like that. I feed my cats a variety of cat foods and real natural foods, and will care for yours however you prefer. Also, I refill the water for pets often so they have fresh water, and my cats like to drink straight from the sink. Also, I am very tidy, and will make sure your house stays very clean.
About: I am a (human) doctor and your pets safety is my priority! I know that peace of mind when you’re gone is the most importantly, and you can be sure I’ll take care of your pet like I have my friends and families. They have trusted me for many years to care for and play with their furry members! My work is remote and flexible in hours so I am very available any day other than Tuesday. I am happy to give your dog(s) the attention they need! I treat every dog and home with respect—I know that your needs may differ from my last clients, so I will always follow your instructions with care. I am attentive to detail and really love animals. They deserve the best, and I promise to deliver that.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, I even started my own neighborhood dog-walking service, handing out flyers and building relationships with local families who trusted me to enter their homes and walk and care for their dogs regularly. I’m extremely comfortable around dogs of all sizes and personalities, as well as cats. I’m active, dependable, and patient, and my background in coaching has made me very responsible, consistent, and comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners always feel comfortable and updated while their pet is in my care. I currently work remotely, which gives me flexibility for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I’m especially available in the mornings, midday, and early afternoons, and I can often accommodate recurring weekly schedules. I’m also available for select evenings and weekends depending on the booking. I take every pet’s safety and routine seriously. I’m comfortable entering clients’ homes, following detailed feeding and care instructions, handling leashes and harnesses, and caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets supervised, and provide updates so owners know their pet is safe and well cared for.
“Andrew takes great care of our 2 cats. He always replies quickly, was very thoughtful during our meet and when taking care of our cats. We have been away with peace of mind thanks to him”
About: I've had pets all my life. Now I'm looking to have another furry friend in the house so my dog has some companionship. It's a really cozy place that any dog would be happy to spend time at. I'm working full time from home. My schedule is flexible. I have a dog that I take for walks everyday so I would take your pet as well. I also enjoy taking my dog on longer walks on the weekends if the weather permits. I have a fenced in backyard and I have a gate in the house that I can separate the dogs while I'm out so they never are alone together.
About: I was a devoted dog mom for 15 wonderful years to the sweetest and most lovable Yorkie. My Bobi, my baby, my good boy, my heart and so many names I lovingly gave him. He wasn’t just my dog—he was family and deeply loved. ❤️ Having him throughout every stage of his life also gave me firsthand experience caring for a senior dog. I understand that as dogs get older, they may need a little more patience, gentleness, attention, and understanding. I’m comfortable taking things at their pace and giving them the extra care and affection they deserve. Being a dog mom taught me so much about companionship, responsibility, and unconditional love. I also understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care. This was the biggest concern for me and my family so I understand. Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know yours. Whether they’re young and full of energy or a senior pup who prefers a slower stroll and extra cuddles, I’ll care for them with kindness and treat them like family. 🐾❤️ I currently have open availability and a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks, as well as last-minute requests when possible. I’m happy to work around your dog’s regular routine because I know consistency can make all the difference in helping them feel happy and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always be my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pup’s normal routine, and take the time to understand their personality, likes, dislikes, and any special needs. I’ll also keep you updated while your pup is with me, because I know how reassuring it is to know they’re safe, happy, and getting lots of love. ❤️ Be ready to receive the cutest pictures while your furbaby is under my care ❤️📸
“Eric was very communicative and made sure to share photos and play with my cats while I was gone. Gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was stopping by at the times I requested to give them attention, especially since it was a bit out of his way.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Tatiana was a wonderful communicator who went above and beyond to care for our pet to our specifications. She is a natural and loving with pets. We were nervous to leave our cat for the first time for an extended trip and Tatiana was a lucky find for us (and our pet!)
I would highly recommend Alessandra! She made herself available on short notice and provided reassuring updates about our dog during the check ins. He is very anxious and was so comfortable with Alessandra and so much less stressed when we returned home since she was there to take great care of him!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Suzanne gave our dog while we were away. Our dog can be difficult to manage, but Suzanne handled her with such patience and skill. She truly went above and beyond!! She sent constant photos and thoughtful updates that gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, caring, and experienced sitter. Suzanne is a gem!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Westwood is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 26,871 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 .
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 , 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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
