“Stephen is kind, prompt and really seemed to care about my aging dog Max. He had to give him an injection and several medication’s each visit. As long as you give him good instructions he’ll follow them to the “T”. Highly recommended.”
“Alyssa is great! She is friendly and professional and took great care of our dogs. They loved her! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future.”
“Jordan's so great. Very easy to work with. I really appreciated the communication and care she provided when meeting Aurora, who can get nervous around new people. Definitely recommend.”
“Maria is wonderful! We feel so comfortable knowing she's coming in to take care of our two cats while we're away. She sends us pictures of them and lets us know how they're doing.”
“Lila was on time everyday, no issues whatsoever. Out of my 3 cats, one can be difficult to deal with because she’s scared of everything. From what I saw Lila was actually able to get close to her. Very satisfied with her services.”
About: I grew up pet sitting for several friends and family members. My family has owned Dobermans, Rottweilers, and huskies throughout the years. My own personal pets are a Belgian Malinois, a standard Poodle, and two cats. I am a certified dog groomer that has been grooming for 5 years, and was an assistant manager at a cat and dog boarding facility for 2 years. I have experience caring for all ages and sizes of pets, from newborns to seniors. I have experience working under and learning from a balanced trainer, however I am not an official dog trainer. I currently work 1-2 days a week, so I have plenty of availability to do drop in playtimes, potty breaks, and walks, multiple times per day if needed. My goal is to meet your pets' individual needs. If you have pets that are super high energy and want to go wild, I'm here for it! If you have pets that just want someone in the room to keep them company or cuddle for a bit, I'm here for it! The goal is to show your fur babies love and fun while I am with them, no matter what that looks like for them!
“Chelsea was kind enough to drop in and take care of my two space cadets. She had excellent communication, was very patient with them and kept to their schedule. We will absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs, I was the kid who wanted to meet every pet I came across, and that passion has only grown into adulthood. Along with having my own two dogs and cat, I've spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, treating each one as if they were my own. I also worked as a stablehand at a local farm, where I cared for a wide variety of animals—including cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, goats, cows, and even swans. I've also volunteered with dog walking programs in the city, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your beloved companion with someone new. That's why my goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I believe communication, reliability, and attention to detail are incredibly important when caring for animals, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy couch cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals has always been more than a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy, and I would love to help you! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work a typical 9–5 during the week and have some flexibility for evening visits, but I primarily focus on pet care on weekends. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet and provide reliable, attentive care while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they're able to stick to their normal routine, so I always do my best to follow each owner's instructions and provide care that's tailored to their pet's needs. Whether I'm stopping by for visits, going on walks, or caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll keep up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course provide plenty of attention and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Kailyn was very responsive and communicative from the start. She sent lots of great photos of Rex and offered such a great peace of mind knowing that he was in great hands while we were away. I highly recommend her and will book again with her in the future!”
“Vu did exactly what I asked and provided thoughtful updates with photos included. He went above and beyond for my cats and left me feeling very comfortable that they received the best care while I was gone. Thank you Vu!”
“Tiára was an amazingggg pet sitter for my dog and cats It was my first time having a pet sitter that wasn’t someone I personally knew and she made the entire process so smooth and stress free. She checks in with pictures and updates gives lots of treats and made sure my pets were loved and safe during my vacation 100/10”
“These two people have been phenomenal. They’re always on time. They’re flexible if my schedule changes and both of our pups are always happy when they come over. I would definitely recommend.”
About: Walk time, play time, and snuggle time are all big parts of owning and loving a dog, and happen to be 3 of my favorite things. My 8 year old coonhound mix Wilbur loves to play tug and chase with his BFFs, Chase and Stitch, and would love to meet your pet if you'd like! Not every dog wants play, some need one on one time. I'm here because I love dogs and am in tune with their needs. I pay attention to what they are trying to tell me. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, from mutts to Cairn Terriers to Beagles to Pibulls to St. Bernards, and have yet to find a dog that doesn't like me. Even when their owner said they wouldn't. Even better than that, dogs listen to me inherently and when I come upon a stubborn pup, I know that patience and positive rewards trump everything! Wilbur's BFF Beau was a rescue from animal torturous testing and had many special needs. He was also a flight risk. I dog sat Beau and Lily for 7 years and have learned to never underestimate a Beagle's brain, they will not hesitate to outsmart you. Wilbur grew up with his now deceased BFFs Lily (super mutt) and Beau (Beagle) since he was 3.5 months old, so I have experience with puppies as well as senior pups who need attentive care. Beau and Lily required meds and special diet as they aged and lived their full lives. Thank you and I look forward to adding your pup to my 4-legged friend list! I'm currently working part time, so your pet will easily fit into my schedule. My hours are flexible and my car is reliable, ready to transport a new friend! I have a fenced in yard and gated wrap around porch, as well as 2 beagles (ages 5 and 7), and a medium sized Wilbur (age 8). At your home harnesses and leashes will always be on before any doors are opened. I can crate your dog as well, if you prefer that.
“Eric has taken care of my two dogs several times now and he has done an AMAZING job. One of my dogs is basically 100lbs of love and the other is 40lbs of energy. He handles both very well. He updates us every visit with pictures and they look pretty darn happy! Eric also has been incredible at taking my last minute appointments which makes him my dog whispering lifesaver.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Kailyn was so sweet to my two cats and took amazing care of them while I was on a trip. She provided lots of pictures, excellent updates, and was always on time for drop-in visits. Kailyn was awesome with communicating questions and getting back to me promptly. All of this meant that I was less stressed and I came home to two happy, calm cats. She is truly a cat whisperer! A big thank you and shout out to Kailyn!
Lauren's care of and communication about our two cats Ed and Kelly while we were on vacation was excellent! She really helped us relax and have a great time knowing the kitties were in good hands. We will definitely book Lauren again if she's available next time we have a need for drop ins. Thanks so much Lauren!!
Sara was absolutely wonderful with Beans and Bogey. It was clear right away that she genuinely cares about animals. She didn’t just stop in to feed them and scoop litter — she took real time to pet them, play with them, and give them attention, which made such a difference. She also sent pictures every day, which I really appreciated and found incredibly reassuring. Both cats clearly loved her, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also went above and beyond with the practical things, including changing the bag in the Litter Champ multiple times without being asked. That level of care and thoughtfulness really stood out. I felt completely confident knowing my cats were in such kind, attentive hands. I would absolutely book Sara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who treats your pets like their own.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Westwood on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.

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.
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 sitter.
