“Natalie is responsible, capable and a lovely human; just the kind of person you would trust to live in your home and watch your pups while you're away.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
About: To put it simply, caring for animals is my life's passion; I would love to take care of your pet like they're my own. I am a highly experienced career pet care professional, currently working at Kitty Co Cat Rescue, with prior experience working at Fido and Friends. I provide the highest level of compassionate care, with a deep understanding of animal behavior and the importance of providing patience and love while caring for animals. I have hands-on experience supporting daily pet care, kennel sanitation, and medication routines. I am trained in administering oral medications, transdermal medications (for cats only), fluids, temperature checks, vaccines, oxygen support, and breathing treatments. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability for pet care. I am available for overnight pet sitting primarily on weekends. I am highly responsible and detail-oriented when it comes to pet and home care. My professional training in veterinary support allows me to provide the highest level of safety for your animal
“Our pets love CK! He gave them lots of attention and communicated well with us during our overseas trip. We found our home to be in excellent condition upon our return. We will definitely reach out to CK in the future.”
“We’re very grateful that we were able to find Milica to watch our dog and home for our week-long trip. She was very communicative and considerate and took great care of our diabetic dog, including administering her insulin shots and adjusting the dose based on our communication during the day. Our shy dog warmed up quickly and it’s clear that Milica makes animals feel safe and cared-for.”
“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and pet sat since I can remember. I’ve helped train puppies, care for elderly dogs, and have provided the same love and care for all of the furry friends that I would for my own! I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal. I work a typical 8-hour day in the city, but am happy to work around my work schedule to give your animal the care that they need. I follow directions, put things back where I found them, and don’t go looking in places I wasn’t invited. I will make sure everything is clean and tidy before I leave!
“Matthew was simply wonderful watching our home and four pets for 6 days! We had never been able to go on a long trip until now. Matthew went above and beyond and kept us updated daily with photos and extras. We are so grateful for his kindness and ease with our babies. We highly recommend him and will use his services in the future.”
“Mamie was a great sitter and I will rebook with her next time we are in need of someone to watch our pets. She checked in at least twice each day with updates and photos, took our dog for daily walks, and gave our pets the care they needed while we were away. I would recommend booking with Mamie to care for your pets.”
“I had a great experience with Mike. He stayed at my house with Hank and took excellent care of him. I also came home to a very clean house, which is really appreciated. Reliable, respectful, and great with dogs. 10/10 recommend. Will book again.”
“Gabriella took very good care of Poppy while we were out of town for a few days! Very good communication. Super easy to schedule an initial meet and greet. Poppy loved Gabriella’s vibe from the start. Thank you!!”
“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”
“Christine stayed the night over at my house. She reassured that my dog was ok with her and became best friend! Just need to make sure all lights are turned off and windows are closed before leaving the house for the day.”
About: I've always had at least one animal by my side ever since I was an infant. My direct pet care experience includes dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, and fish. (Oh! I also would like to add two honorable mentions.. the toads and frogs I often see around my home. Although, there is no direct care, I like to think I have a relationship with each of them.) I currently have a family Golden Retriever named Sasha. We call her Sushie and Sashimi for short :) I've also have had the gift of being around friends' and families' animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, rats, cats, and dogs. Also, I used to volunteer at Animal Friends, which is now called Heal Animal Rescue. It was a great experience being able to care for dogs that didn't have a permanent home or company. Some of the care I gave included cleaning their kennels to ensure that each dog had a healthy environment to live in, exercising with them, ensuring they had fresh food and water, and simply offering them company, especially since their visitors may have been sparse outside of us volunteers and staff. Animals are God's precious creatures. Each and every one is beautiful and created by God. I believe that we have been given the opportunity to steward them well and with love. Thus, it would be an honor and privilege to take care of your precious loved one. My work schedule is partially remote, so I can be available on certain week days during standard 8:30-4 PM work hours. My remote days are currently Mondays and Tuesday. In the evenings and weekends, I can be free too with notice! To ensure the safety of everyone, I request a walk-through of items and places I'd be using at your home prior to care. This may include showing me important things like, how your pet gate opens and closes, how your front door locks, how to administer certain medicine, etc. I appreciate any and all information about the pet and home so that we can all have a lovely experience :)

Westwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kaitlyn was simply the BEST. She befriended my sweet pups in the best way. I could tell they loved her from all the pics and videos They ate while i was gone and she even got the meds in! She was very responsible with my girls and my house. I plan to book again in a few months without hesitation.
I am very happy I chose Mamie to dogsit my Rosie for my week long vacation. She sent regular updates about Rosie’s mood, activities and cute little anecdotes, as well as lots of pictures. Besides the updates Mamie was quick to reply to messages and was even so kind as to pick up a refill that Rosie needed. I would definitely rebook her :)
Lindsey was a fabulous pet sitter for our two dogs and cat! This was our first time using Rover, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Lindsey was professional, attentive, detail-oriented, and truly treated our pets like they were her own. She spent lots of time with them inside and outside, took them on nice walks, and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and videos that alleviated our worries. They didn’t seem to miss us at all when we got home! Would recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for someone to care for your pets - she is wonderful! We will certainly be reaching out to her again.
Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog Tato! She was very communicative the entire time from before the booking to during and on our way home. She completely catered to our his needs and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her! I already booked with her again!
There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.
Matthew is quite simply the GOAT. It was our very first booking with him and our plans unfortunately kept changing chaotically, yet throughout scheduling updates and frantic messaging on our part, the only thing he cared about was making sure he was a good fit for our dogs. That has never happened before in our time on Rover. His communication, understanding, and calm demeanor during our Meet and Greet earned immediate trust from both us AND our dogs. the entire booking + stay it felt like his priority was making sure both we and our dogs felt comfortable and cared for. Matthew has set the tone for the kind of care we’d want in any future booking and we’d trust him with our pets again in a heartbeat <3
Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!
Erika was wonderful! This was the first time she sat for our dogs, and we were so pleased with how it went! She was caring, communicative, professional, and our dogs loved her. We will definitely ask her to sit again. A great experience overall. Thank you, Erika!
