“Amina was amazing! She followed all my instructions carefully and truly put my mind at ease while I was away. I felt confident Wrigley was in great hands the entire time. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Erin was just wonderful! She has a very calming presence that our doggies appreciated. They hardly missed us while we were gone! She took excellent care of our home as well. We really loved the daily updates and photos that she sent. 11/10; highly recommended!”
“Zoey seems so relaxed and comfortable with Randy. Love ALL the pictures that keep us up to date on her daily routine in our absence. We have used Randy multiple times and highly recommended him. The house is always spotless upon our return . With Randy watching Zoey allows us to enjoy our time away.”
“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!”
“I’m so thankful for Erika! I was nervous about leaving our 14 year old cocker spaniel Sophie for a week long trip. Erika was conscientious, communicative, flexible, professional, kind, trustworthy, mature, and responsible! She really loves animals. I can’t recommend her highly enough. When we returned home, Sophie was peaceful and content, calm and happy. Thank you, Erika, for making our vacation enjoyable by taking such good care of Sophie and our home.”
“Stepanie was WONDERFUL! I usually worry when I'm away from my sweet girl, but I received lots of pictures and notes and could see she was in good hands! She is kind, responsible, and neat!”
“Kelsey was wonderful. She followed our instructions to the letter - our dog is on medications, on a strict schedule, so this is very important. She was extremely conscientious in sending pics, watering our plants, and otherwise caring for both our pet and our house. Kelsey is also very pleasant and easygoing...Best of all, our dog loves her! We highly recommend her, and intend to engage her services again.”

“Haley is so great with our dogs and treats them like family! She was super responsive and provided pictures throughout her stay in our home. Haley is my #1 choice when choosing someone to watch our dogs. She attends to all of our crazy pups needs by taking them on walks, to our dog park or snuggling on a calm day!”
“Susan was a great sitter for my dog! She found time to drop in a couple days before her weeks long visit so that Finley could get reacquainted with her.

I am so grateful to have found such good help and will not hesitate to use Susan again❤️🐕🦺❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood Hills
Patricia was amazing! She tamed our 2 extremely shy, standoffish dogs in just 48 hours- one of them was cuddling with her at the end of her housesitting stay which is just unheard of for this pup. Left the house spotless, very responsive and kept us in the loop with updates. Would highly recommend, we are glad to have found a reliable house sitting option with Patricia!
We really appreciated how well Anna took care of our pup, Fern. She communicated well, sent pictures and updates and contacted me with any questions she had. It's not easy leaving an elderly dog with anxiety, but we felt assured that she was well taken care of, and a big bonus was coming home to a clean home! Couldn't have been more pleased with the job she did! Would highly recommend her services!!
Whitney did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and home while our family went on a 10 day trip! She texted frequent updates and pix of the dogs, was extremely professional yet really seemed to enjoy being around our dogs (who can be a handful). We would definitely recommend her to anyone and will rehire her the next time we need pet/home care.
Taryn took FABULOUS care of my kitties while I was out of town. She is everything one would hope for in a pet caregiver. She is prompt, dependable, follows all instructions, and, most importantly, is an incredibly nice person and the animals can “sense” that quality. I will, definitely, reach out to Taryn again next time I have to go out of town and would highly recommend her to care for your beloved pals.
Wonderful sitter! She was warm, detail-oriented, and immediately became best friends with our dog. She kept me updated with photos throughout the visit, which I really appreciated. Her experience caring for dogs needing extra care gave me great peace of mind, and I would absolutely trust her with dog again!
It was my first time using Rover and I came across Kayla’s profile. I thought she would be a good fit for my dog Marley and I was right! She did great with him and sent my walk updates along with pictures of him smiling. I left plenty of instructions which she followed 100%. I came home to a happy dog which I owe to her. Highly recommend Kayla!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westwood Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Westwood Hills on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,654 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westwood Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
