“Hannah takes such great care of my Opal. She is consistent and gives excellent updates. I can tell she actually cares about my pet when she is checking in on her/caring for her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“My two cats—one elderly and on medication—seem to have had a stress-free week in Alexsys’s care. They were in great shape when I brought them home, very relaxed and affectionate. On the human side, Alexsys is a great communicator and made me everything very easy for me. I’d happily board my cats with her again.”
“Taylor was very attentive, following our care instructions to the "T" for our three adult cats. We couldn't be more pleased of her awesome care and daily updates. We will be seeking her care assistance again in the future! 💯🙌🏽”
About: I own a dog and 2 cats. I love animals. I enjoy a cat or dog's company. Pet personalities are my favorite personalities. Excited to help where I can. I am currently free for walks and drop in feedings. I am home most of the time, so my schedule is flexible. Let me know what you need and we can go from there! On walks I will always use a leash. I double and triple check gates are completely closed and latched to ensure your pet's security. Same goes with your home. I am great with following feeding directions and needs for your pet.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals due to my grandma owning a snake, bearded dragon, and many cats and dogs. I love all kinds of animals and taking care of them is such a high priority. I have full availability. I can provide full time care to your animals. I can come on weekends or even weekdays. 7am until 11pm or even full night stays! I bathe, feed and walk my dog as well as other dogs and some cats depending on how they like water. I have trained animals from puppies to older aged animals.
About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between animals and their families. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, I've honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. I'm excited to extend my love for animals to your furry friends. I am seeking a rewarding opportunity to utilize my free time. I'm available most days and times and would love to offer my services as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Your pet will feel right at home in my caring environment. I offer a safe and fun outdoor space, as well as cozy indoor comforts. I'm flexible and adaptable, ensuring that your pet's needs are always met.
About: I’ve been volunteering at my local animal shelter for the past two years, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. This experience has taught me how to recognize different temperaments, build trust with shy or anxious animals, and confidently care for energetic pets as well. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m a PA (Physician Assistant) student who absolutely loves animals and enjoys spending my free time caring for pets. My class schedule keeps me busy during the day on weekdays, but I’m available for early morning (before 7am) and evening visits (after 5pm) on weekdays, open on weekends, and many overnight stays. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their personality, preferences, and any special needs before each booking. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and house rules to help them feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine.
About: I’ve always loved caring for pets starting from when I was a kid growing up around them. In my teen years, I began pet sitting and walking dogs for neighbors and friends, gaining hands-on experience and learning what each furry friend needs to feel happy and safe. I’m dedicated to providing loving, trustworthy care, making sure every pet gets the attention and kindness they deserve while their owners can have peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule and can easily work around walking and sitting times, but I especially prefer weekend house sitting to give your pets the best care when you’re away. Walking is more flexible as I can do it everyday. With my experience, I’m prepared for any unexpected situations that might come up during pet sitting. I stay calm and trust my instincts to make sure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and cared for right in your home.
“Ashley took excellent care of my cat Tala while I was away (even when Tala was not at her nicest!). Ashley made sure she understood my instructions at our meet and greet, and sent photos and updates for every drop-in visit. She was friendly, reliable, and professional—everything you want for someone watching your pet.”
“Aly was so communicative and took extra care to interact and snuggle with our cats. We really appreciated her willingness to sit for us last minute and enjoyed our trip knowing she was updating us with pictures of her sleepovers with our girls and Pookie. She was able to administer insulin for our diabetic cat and ensure her dietary needs were met. We were so lucky to find her!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Westwood is $20

Hannah did a great job taking care of our cat! 10/10 no notes. She kept us updated and informed on every visit and took some really cute photos. I’m also happy she got him to come out of his shell in the later visits. Thanks for everything! ☺️we will definitely reach out again for future visits!
I had Christa watch my beloved cat, Kitty, while I was away on an extended trip, she was very dedicated to attending to Kitty’s needs while I was away including playing with her, giving her treats, and making sure she was well fed. Christa was also adamant about keeping the lines of communication open and informing me of important details like when she would be arriving to my home.
Lauren was excellent! We initially did a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable with her. She ended up watching our cat for a week while we were away on vacation. She did a great job! She checked in with me every day and provided pictures and feedback. I will be using Lauren in the future anytime I need pet sitting.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Westwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 130 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
