“Lori was extremely attentive, reliable & thorough! She went above & beyond my expectations for caring for all 4 of my animals. Received pictures multiple pictures & communication was punctual! Trustworthy & friendly!!”
“Erin is a great sitter. Fantastic communication and Rally was well cared for and she took great care and sent regular updates. We look forward to having Erin sit for us again soon.”
“Maryn was so kind to our dogs, you can tell she really is an animal person. She sent us pictures one of the days we were gone and it was great to see the dogs were so happy. Our house was very clean when we came home, and the mail was even brought in! Will definitely be booking again.”
“I was able to book Taryn, after a short notice cancellation from my regular dog sitter. I’m very selective about care givers for my pup. Her booking schedule and positive reviews were encouraging signs that my dog, Baxter, would be cared for properly. However, after meeting her and watching her interaction with Bax, I could tell he was going to get the attention he is used to. Taryn provided daily photos of Bax and kept in communication with me on special needs, such as medicines. All to say, she was exceptional, even better than my regular sitter!!! Highly recommend her, if her schedule permits.”
“Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and texts, which was great peace of mind! It was obvious how comfortable our dog was with her, from the pictures of him totally relaxed with his belly in the air and how much fun he was having in the yard when we got home!”
“Susannah stayed in our home with Phoebe and her dog Oliver. She left the house spotless and sent happy video of Phoebe every day with reassuring comments! I will definitely hire her again!”
“Erika is a dog whisperer! She navigated my youthful pup and senior dog with such care and attention. I felt so confident being able to hike and explore while my two dogs were well cared for. Erika provided great communication on arrival and departure, and I loved the pup picture updates. Very responsible and trustworthy too. Overall I highly recommend Erika for overnight dog visits. A+ experience.”
“Evelyn was great! She was super flexible with both having a meet & greet and also during the job start and end time, and excellent with administering medication for our diabetic cat. We would definitely use her services again in the future. Our fur kids seem happy and we got a ton of cute photo updates along the way.”
“I really enjoyed meeting Regan. He is super reliable and took great care for our dogs. He stayed overnight and during the day. He anticipated a storm and brought in all our outdoor cushions and returned them outside after the storm! Above and beyond!”
“Lindsey was absolutely fantastic! She stayed at our home while caring for our special needs dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and compassionate, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which made it so much easier being away from our pup. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the time to understand our dog’s unique needs and routine. When we returned, our house was spotless and exactly as we left it. Lindsey went above and beyond in every way, and we truly appreciated her professionalism, communication, and kindness. We have already booked Lindsey again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring to watch their pets!”
About: I have raised dogs and cats through out my life, I currently have a rescue Shih Tzu named Gizmo who is nine years old and is great with other dogs. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years and also at a dog training and boarding kennel so I have experience with all breeds and temperaments as well as years of professional dog walking and pet sitting. I’m getting ready to go to school for dog grooming to add to my pet care skills and would love to take care of your pets to help make money for school! I will give your fur babies the love, care and attention they deserve. I also have experience administering medications including pills and insulin shots. I work short days outside my home starting early in the morning, but my partner works from home so your dog wouldn’t be left alone if you board with me! I’m available for in home visits or walks as well. We have a rescue Shih Tzu who is 9 years old and loves the company of other dogs, she’s not big on playing but she’s all about the snuggles and naps. I cater my care to each individual dog and am happy to discuss your pets needs. If you board with me your dog will get frequent walks and as much exercise as you request, we live in an apartment so I would be taking them out on a leash to walk around the neighborhood; we also have a fenced area specifically for letting dogs run around and play if that’s what you prefer. I am happy to crate them if you’d like or let them sleep in one of my dogs many beds, she sleeps in bed with us so she won’t mind! If I’m coming to your house I can follow any instructions you have for walking/ feeding/ administering medication I’ve done many walks and home visits for pet owners over the years, and my experience in animal shelters and dog training facilities had given me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and needs.
“Alicia was SO sweet to both us and our animals! She administered insulin to our cat, ran with our dog to get his energy out, and kept our house in pristine condition. We were anxious to leave our fur babies and Alicia was communicative our entire time away. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“Jen stayed at our home with our two dogs for 4 nights. We could not have been happier with her communication and all of the photos and daily updates she provided. She handled our very rambunctious young lab mix with walks and playtime as well as provided oral medication and Injections meds to our senior dog. Such a delight to have met her. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Coco enjoyed 8 wonderful days with Anne-Marie. Coco got walks, pictures and lots of attention! Anne-Marie also took care of my house and communicated well. I highly recommend her!”
“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Thomas was amazing with our animals. So loving and kind, they were happy and healthy when we returned. He also took immaculate care of our apartment, it was clean and tidy when we returned!”
About: I grew up with a miniature beagle and now our family has two tuxedo cats. I love all cats and dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I work from home and have flexibility to care for cats and dogs. I also have three daughters that love cats and dogs as well. I also like to run and would love running or walking dogs. I am very friendly with dogs in cats in the client's home. I like to scratch them and make them feel loved and safe. I also like to walk/run with dogs and play with both dogs and cats.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood Hills
We hired Emma to house-sit and be with our dogs and cats while we were out of town, and she did a great job! The pets seemed happy and taken care of. Emma sent us pictures of them every day, which we appreciate. And we came home to a spotless house! It was so easy to communicate with Emma beforehand, and she even helped us out before the vacation by feeding the animals one day while we were dealing with a family emergency. We couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend her services. We will most definitely hire her again!
Kalya was absolutely the best dog and home sitter we’ve ever had! She is incredibly easygoing, accommodating, and just an all-around wonderful person to have looking after your home and pets. Our two dogs are pretty spoiled, and, honestly, they can be A LOT. Kalya handled them with so much love, patience, and care that we felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She even sent us pictures of them having the time of their lives at the dog park, which made being away from them so much easier! We also live in an older home with lots of quirky “personality,” and Kalya somehow figured out everything she needed to know without missing a beat. When we got home, the house was actually in better shape than when we left it! She even kept everything watered during some of the hottest days of the year. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our dogs were happy, our home was cared for, and we came back feeling like everything had been handled perfectly. We really can’t say enough wonderful things about Kalya and would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat! —W
Thank you so much for taking care of the animals. Everything looked great when we got home and I know you did a good job of watching them and the house. I especially appreciate you being available on such short notice. This was really a trip we needed to go to, and I appreciate so much your willingness to babysit for us.
Ellis was great! She listened to all of our requests and didn’t judge how weird our care habits are. She was very attentive to our kitties and to me, making sure I felt comfortable while we were away by sending me regular updates and pictures 😊 I would definitely recommend and rebook!
Ava was amazing! I have a dog who is anxious and reactive and she did great with him. Hank was totally relaxed in the videos and pictures sent. She also took great care of our home. She even washed the sheets and towels so they would be clean for us after getting in from a late flight. Great communication and very sweet to our boys. We would definitely use her again!!
Wendy respected our home and took great care of our puppy, Poppy. As a puppy she's ornery and needs a little extra TLC. Wendy sent photo updates and kept her on a potty schedule. Poppy was a happy girl when we got home. We would use Wendy for a house sit again.
Brooklyn is THE BEST! She watched my Birdie and my home. I know that both were looked after just as they were her own. She's very reliable and a great communicator. Heading toward medical school, you know she is caring and loving. Thank you Brooklyn. I know Birdie can't wait to see you again. Thank you!
Susannah and Oliver were great! I was a little worried about having Oliver the Poodle come with her but my fears were unfounded. He was a perfect gentleman and, by the time he left, my Pippa had a crush! Susannah kept great care of my girl and left the house in perfect shape!
Kadyn was an awesome sitter for our cat! She sent us regular updates and pics so we never had to worry while out of town - we could just enjoy our mini vacay/family wedding. He was clearly well loved while we were gone! Would definitely hire Kadyn again in a heartbeat.
Evelyn was a wonderful house sitter and pet sitter for my cat Miso! He has a heart disease that requires him to have multiple medications twice daily, and she was so good with giving him the medications that she actually taught ME a new trick to use with him! I was at ease knowing he was in such good hands while I was away for two weeks on a family trip. I definitely recommend her, she was so great with my sweet little guy. :)
Melissa is wonderful - my fearful/reactive dog has some pretty specific needs and Melissa: communicated clearly before the meet and greet; came prepared and read my dog's profile/instructions prior to the first meeting; followed my guidance during her stay with my dog! Beyond that, Melissa made me feel comfortable immediately. She is very pleasant to interact with and pays attention to the fine details - she removed her hat prior to the first meet and greet, saying "sometimes fearful dogs can be nervous with hats" - a detail that I didn't even consider before she entered my home. She follows guidance diligently and uses her experience to add extra touches I didn't even think about. I will gladly have her care for my baby again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Westwood Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Westwood Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Westwood Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
