“Beth was really great with our 3 pups. They immediately bonded with her. Beth stayed over for 2 nights and was very attentive to their needs. It was great to be able to be away for a few days and trust that Bella, Ginger, and Millie were in greats hands. We received fun photos of the pups all throughout her stay which made it all the more comforting. We will definitely book again and again! Thank you Beth for treating our doggie family like your own.”
“Ashley is absolutely fantastic. She watched our dog all day, went on long walks, took pictures, and was extremely thoughtful about what was best to keep our dog comfortable and safe. If you're looking for someone reliable who actually cares about the animals she works with, Ashley is the one to help you”
“On relatively short notice, we had arranged for Eli to come stay with Lily for just six hours during the day. He went out of his way to actually do a meet and great prior, which was really nice. Lily was very comfortable with him, and we would definitely be interested in having him watch her again!”
“Megan was so great with both my pets! With this being the first long trip that we have been away from them, Megan made it so easy! Megan gave daily updates and sent pictures which really put us at ease! We felt so comfortable having Megan stay with our fur babies while we were out of the country. We cannot recommend Megan enough!”
About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own! My Cocker Spaniel Willy has his own health issues, so if any extra special care is required for your pet, I’m your girl! I’m a full time registered nurse (RN) and only work 3 days a week! I am a Registered Nurse and only work 3 days a week! I am looking for ways to spend my days off, and I thought what better way than with animals!? I currently live in Biddeford and am available to travel to your home for any of your pets needs! I previously lived in Portland and work in Westbrook so I’m familiar with the area! Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!
“Victoria was great as soon as she arrived and Bea was instantly wagging her tail, asking for belly rubs, and overall excited to meet a new friend. Victoria hungout with Bea in a hotel room for a few hours and spent time snuggling her and keeping her entertained. Would absolutely recommend! 💯”
About: In addition to being a long-time pet owner and animal lover, I have experience in caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and specialized needs. I am no stranger to the lint roller and slobber rag! I am currently in between jobs and have an abundance of free time and flexibility to care for your pet. My favorite part of the day is a dog walk around the neighborhood, and playing fetch in the yard! I am comfortable and experienced in walking large dogs and dogs who pull when walking on a lead. I exercise caution with my surroundings and other walkers, dogs, bicycles, and vehicles to avoid any unsafe situations.
“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”
“Lori went the extra mile to ensure that our boy Monty was well cared for while we were away. She even sent us several photos so we wouldn’t worry about him and made an extra trip to the house to be sure that the temperature was comfortable for him.”
“Elizabeth and Stephen took such great care of our Stella. They communicated often while we were away and sent some of the cutest pics. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
About: I have grown up working closely with shelters and fostering elderly dogs with my mom. My family have even had our own litter of puppies from birth through adoption. My family then started fostering pregnant cats and raising the kittens until they were ready for adoption. I have my own cat with a slew of medical problems and have no issues administering medications. Please let me know what I can do to fit your pet needs! I’m currently working full time as an accountant and have the option of working from home. This allows me to be flexible with where I work and allows for frequent walks! I have my own dog and cat at home and always make sure they are well fed and well-entertained throughout day! Cuddles at night are always a must and heavily encouraged.
“Meagan helped us out when we had to travel out of town for three days. She stayed with our 12 week old puppy at our apartment. She was great with little Kara. She kept us posted, administered meds and took very good care of our pup.”
“Cassandra was great with my little toy poodle, Rusty. He can be a handful at times but Cassandra managed to keep him under control. She even met my neighbor who owns Rusty’s best buddy and walked with them a few times. Cassandra stayed at my house to care for Rusty and when I returned the house was just as I had left it! I would highly recommend Cassandra for pet/house sitting and will definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“My dog loves Nishat! She has such a calming energy and puts my nervous dog instantly at ease. Nishat came to the rescue when family emergencies left little time for making arrangements, and made sure Beesly was safe and happy while I was away. She sends lots of photo updates during her stay and really dotes on my dog. Beesly and I are so happy to have found Nishat!”
About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all ages. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet will feel safe and happy in my care. I work part-time, so I'm available most weekday afternoons and weekends. I do have college classes Mondays & Wednesdays, so unfortunately I am unavailable in the afternoon those days. Pet care easily fits into my routine, allowing flexible, reliable service for your pets. I care for pets in their own homes, providing personalized attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m unable to host pets due to having my own furbabies, but offer reliable, loving care on-site.
“Rachael was loved immediately by my pup! She helped me in a pinch last minute when I needed overnight care. She is kind, punctual, sent me updates & stayed in touch. It’s really nice to not have to reach out about your pet, and to already have updates and photos when you check your phone!!! Delilah and I look forward to working with you again. 😊”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cape Porpoise
We had such a great experience with Eli. This was our first time using Rover. The plans we had for our dogs fell through; a friend who had been in a similar situation used Rover and recommended it. We were happy someone with experience was available. Eli was very easy to work with. He’s easygoing and good natured. Our dogs really liked him when they met him. We have no complaints. We’d definitely book him again.
On relatively short notice, we had arranged for Eli to come stay with Lily for just six hours during the day. He went out of his way to actually do a meet and great prior, which was really nice. Lily was very comfortable with him, and we would definitely be interested in having him watch her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cape Porpoise
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cape Porpoise on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 754 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cape Porpoise. 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 Cape Porpoise 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 Cape Porpoise 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 Cape Porpoise 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.

- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
