“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Lucki and Luna! She was so kind, communicative, and kept us updated throughout every visit with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Lucki can be a little feisty when he first meets new people, but Hannah was incredibly patient with him, and he eventually warmed up to her. Luna is our very shy girl and spent most of her time hiding, so Hannah wasn’t able to get many pictures of her. She communicated that with us throughout her visits, and we really appreciated her honesty and the effort she made to check on Luna each time. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Hannah treated our cats with so much care and respect, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and genuinely caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Elizabeth is the best! She was able to cat sit for us on a days notice and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her, and I will be using her in the future when my husband and I go out of town!”
“Reagan is amazing! She was so attentive to instructions for our elderly labradoodle who takes several medications throughout the day. Reagan was prompt to every drop-in time and super communicative. We came home to a reenergized dog who was clearly so very well taken care of!”
“Nontombe made me feel so wonderful about being able to leave my pet in her care! She was wonderful, took several pictures and kept me updated on how she was doing. I’ll definitely rebook with Nontombe :)”
“Sydney was attentive, kind, and caring to my fur baby! I received regular photos and updates from her and my cat was very comfortable with her too! I look forward to retaining her services again.”
“Aleksandra went above and beyond taking care of my two cats for a week at the last minute after my prior coverage fell through. I highly recommend her and she will be the first I ask should I need someone to watch them again.”
About: Have an energetic pup who needs someone who can keep up? I’d love to help! I’ve had my own dog, Dallas, since I was 10, and my family currently has three Boxers, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic dogs. I love going on walks, playing fetch and tug-of-war, but I’m just as happy to cuddle and relax with your pet. I’ve also regularly pet sat for four families, caring for up to three cats and two large dogs in one home, so I’m experienced with different personalities, routines and needs. I love taking pictures and sending cute updates while you’re away, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a college student at the University of South Carolina with a flexible schedule! My only set commitments are classes: Monday and Wednesday from 2:20–3:35 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 10:05–11:20 AM and 2:50–4:05 PM. Everything else is extracurricular and can be adjusted around pet-care needs. Fridays and weekends are completely open, and I’m generally flexible with scheduling. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and find times that work best for both of us! I have a fully fenced in, chain-link backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time and play, with supervision. I don’t have a crate, but I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide about where they’re most comfortable resting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure doors and gates stay secure, supervise outdoor time, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have dog sat before. I just moved to the area for work and am trying keep my love of being around animals by providing care to the Columbia/Charleston areas! I love being outdoors and always would bring my dogs on the journey! I’m currently working full-time at Nephron Pharmaceuticals in West Columbia from 8-5. I am available in morning between 6:00 - 7:00 a.m. or anytime after 5:30 p.m. during the week. On weekends I am very flexible! I can be in the Columbia area or in Charleston. I do live in an apartment so there is not much space and my roommate does have a cat who is calm. I will provide the best care to your pets as if they were my own. I love being outdoors and going to parks such as Owen’s, Finley, and the riverwalk. At your home, I can change diapers and make sure crates/fences are affective if being used.
About: As a child of a veterinarian, I grew up with dogs my whole life, and I love to come home to a furry friend. I have dog sat for family and friends for the past few years and love getting to bond with their animals. I recently adopted my cat from my local shelter and she’s brought me so much joy. I’d love to get a chance to make your animal feel safe and cared for. I am experienced pet sitting with dogs and cats for about 3 years now. I grew up with mainly dogs, but now I am a cat owner! I am currently offering drop-in visits as well as house sitting. My available days are Monday 3-6 and any time Friday through Sunday! I am currently a graduate student at USC, so I am mostly available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am not available for boarding, however I am available for drops-ins and longer visits depending on what your animal needs! I want your animal to feel comfortable in their own space, so I am willing to do whatever it takes for them to trust me.
About: We specialize in dog walks, home visits for potty breaks and playtime, and cat litter changes. We both grew up around cats and dogs, so we're comfortable and confident with pets of all kinds. We both work from home, giving us flexibility to fit visits around your pet's schedule reliably. We're a recently married couple who both work remotely, which means there's almost always someone available to fit in a walk or a visit. Our schedule is flexible day to day, so we can be reliable and consistent with your pet's routine — whether that's a midday walk, a potty break, or a litter change. We're comfortable working around specific times your pet is used to. We're tidy and respectful of your space when we come by for a visit. We grew up with both dogs and cats, so we're comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and just keeping pets company.

About: I am a 20 year old college student at UofSC majoring in biology on a pre-vet track. I love animals and have been surrounded by them since I was little. I have experience with all ages of animals and can cater to their needs according. I have taken care of a variety of animals in the past including cats, dogs, hamsters, ferrets, and snakes. I love all animals so please feel free to reach out to me, I love gaining new experience with taking care of different breeds/species and it will definitely serve useful in my future career as a vet! I'm a dog mom of 3 so a majority of my day is helping take care of them. I make sure they receive plenty of attention and I make sure to provide them with enrichment throughout the day. Sadly now that I am back at school I don't get to see my fur babies as often anymore which is part of the reason I love being able to watch other people's animals. I do currently have a snake named cornflake who keeps me company in my apartment! I treat my animals like they are my children, and when I am watching a clients pet I make sure to treat them the same way. I make sure to follow a clients normal schedule with their pet(s) to try and reduce stress and I make sure to communicate any questions/concerns I might have. My priority is to cater to the animals individual needs including how much time they enjoy being outside, if they enjoy walks, if there is any training they do, their bathroom schedule, etc.
“This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!”
“Cassie went above and beyond checking in our three cats while we were out of town! She took time to give them treats, scoop the litter box, sweep our floor, bring in our mail, and brush them. She gained the trust of our 3 sassy cats which is no small feat. Could not recommend her enough!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Hannah is amazing!! She made sure to ask all the important questions and took great care of our kitty Vada. Finding someone trustworthy and dependable with your fur babies is hard but she made it so simple and made sure to keep me updated while we were gone. Vada usually gets sad and stops eating as much 3-4 days into our week long vacations and she ate completely normal while we were gone so just knowing she felt comfortable and happy while we were gone was such a comfort. 10/10 recommend Hannah for your pet needs and will def use her again in the future!!
Kendra went above and beyond to accommodate for my cat while I was gone for 5 weeks recovering from surgery. She kept her fed, watered and made sure she had a clean litter box while giving her plenty of love and Churu in the meantime. I cannot recommend Kendra enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westwood is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $21 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 508 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Westwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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 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.
