We were so happy that Monica was available again to house sit! She is so good with animals and our dog Cadi loves her! Our new dog took to her almost immediately and was cuddling with her on the couch. She spends lots of time with our pets and shares photos. We have no concerns leaving our pets or our house in Monica's hands! This was the 5th time she's pet sit for us and every experience has been good, will definitely reach out to her in the future!

Teresa dog-sat in our home for a week while we went out of state. I was a nervous dog parent after not leaving our dog for 3 years of Covid. Teresa's quick communication and frequent updates put us at ease. We returned to a happy dog and a clean home. Would definitely rebook!

A+++ Harley was knowledgeable and mature, caring and trustworthy! We could not have found anyone more qualified to pet/house sit for us. There was not one moment of concern while we were away as to whether or not our pets were in good hands. She communicated every day with photos and messages showing how happy they were. We couldn't be more grateful for her service, her time and her attention shown in loving our dogs as if they were her own.

Melissa and her family are great!! We have a challenging puppy and she can give anyone a run for their money. Melissa was up for the challenge and handled our girl in stride. She was great with communication before and during the stay. Melissa checked in daily with photos and reports of our girls behavior and progress. We brought her home tired out and thats pretty hard to do with a 9 month old bloodhound. We appreciate Melissa and will definitely be using her again. 100% Recommend!!

About: I grew up with my dad's chocolate lab and my mother's Westie mix. Two totally different personalities and each wonderful in their own ways. My favorite way to connect with your pet will be play, but I also love finding the places that a pupper loves to be rubbed, patted, or pet. Let me know what your special pupper likes and dislikes and I will do my best to care for them like I would my own baby. Be sure to let me know about special commands or particular care that your precious bb needs. Thanks and good luck in your pet care search! I currently have an open schedule and am available almost every day. I do request to have one of two evenings to myself, Sunday or Thursday, where I'm unavailable from 6:30-10pm. My number one concern will be that your pet is safe and happy. Let me know what routine and care (such as crating) your special bb needs and I will follow up with pictures and videos so you can be at ease knowing that your bb is happy and cared for.

About: I've always believed that every pet has their own unique personality, and one of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know who they are. I love talking to animals (yes, I know they talk back in their own way!) and learning what makes each one happy! Whether they're goofy, shy, energetic, cuddly, or a little dramatic. I grew up volunteering at local animal shelters with my family once a month and have continued that tradition into my adulthood. I am known as the "go-to sitter", among close family and friends, and now as a recent college graduate, (with some extra time on my hands) I would love to take my passion and serve other pet families as well. I genuinely enjoy keeping pets active and entertained. I love going on walks and exploring different neighborhoods, parks, and walking trails, so if your dog enjoys an adventure, we'll have plenty together! I'm also happy to play games, provide enrichment, or simply relax with pets who prefer a quieter day, as I too love a good snuggle on the couch! I have experience administering medications and carefully following care instructions, so I'm comfortable caring for senior pets or animals with medical needs. I understand how important consistency is, and I always make sure medications, feeding schedules, and routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also offer house sitting, so your pets can stay comfortable in the place they know best while you travel. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pets. You can rest assured your baby will be given lots of love, attention, and dependable care. As a recent college graduate, my schedule is very flexible. Which, thankfully, allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I'm caring for. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, evening playtime, overnight house sitting, or sticking to a specific medication schedule, I'm happy to work with your pet's routine. I believe pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their day feeling as normal and comfortable as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home through house sitting or drop-in visits, I follow your routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, monitor pets during walks and outdoor time, and make sure they always have fresh water, meals, and plenty of attention. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, boundaries, favorite toys, and little quirks. Building trust is important to me, and I believe it starts with patience, consistency, and lots of positive interaction. I also volunteer with local dog shelters, and have been doing so for the past four years since coming to Charlotte, which has deepened my love for animals and my understanding of all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm also comfortable administering medications, keeping you updated with messages and photos, and making sure your home is treated with the same respect and care as I would my own. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been loved like family while you were away.

Mardi did an incredible job taking care of our cats and home while we were away for a week! She followed our instructions perfectly, sent regular updates and photos, and left our house in even better condition than when she arrived. I’m usually a little anxious about leaving the cats when we travel, but I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing everything was safe in her hands. I will absolutely book her again the next time we need a cat sitter!

I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Paris was very responsive to my questions, comments, and requests. I appreciated the care she gave my dogs. They are pretty independent but having someone there to keep them company and watch the house while I am gone gives me peace of mind while I am traveling.

FAQs for House Sitting - Westwood Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 702 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westwood Hills. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
