About: I'm new on Rover, but over the past 15 years, I have provided dedicated pet sitting services for a wide variety of families, including those living on military bases. My experience spans everything from large, powerful breeds to timid rescues to small dogs with big personalities (yes, "little dog syndrome" included!). This extensive background, combined with owning a high energy Brittany Spaniel and a gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has given me a deep, well rounded understanding of different breed temperaments, sizes, and personalities, from confident big dogs to nervous rescues to feisty little ones. I know how to build trust with a rescue that needs extra patience, redirect a small dog's big attitude, and safely manage a large dog's strength and energy. Whether your dog needs vigorous exercise, specialized attention, or careful adherence to specific neighborhood boundaries, I bring the experience, trust, and reliability needed to keep your pets safe, happy, and completely at ease. I operate on a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to adapt completely to whatever your pup's routine looks like. I'm located on the Otis base, giving me easy access to almost anywhere on the Cape, and pet care is my full time job, so I get to dedicate tons of time and structured care to your dog! Whether they need energetic play sessions, a long walk to explore, or just a cozy spot on the couch to relax, I adapt completely to whatever your pup's routine looks like. When your pup is with me, you can expect regular text updates and plenty of cute photos so you have total peace of mind! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pup with the exact same vigilance and care that I give my own two dogs. Because I have 15 years of pet sitting experience including caring for pets throughout different communities I am highly disciplined, respect home rules, and am deeply familiar with maintaining strict safety guidelines and neighborhood boundaries. In My Care & Environment: 📍 Supervised and Secure: Pets under my care are never left unattended in unsecured areas. I am extremely mindful of door safety, ensuring pups are secure before any entryways are opened. 🐾 Tailored to Their Needs: With a high energy Brittany and a gentle Cavalier of my own, plus years of experience with large breeds, rescues, and small dogs with big personalities, I know how to keep energetic dogs safely stimulated, help nervous rescues settle in and feel secure, and give small or sensitive dogs the patience and structure they need to feel completely protected and relaxed. 📸 Clear Communication: I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive regular check ins, updates, and photo updates so you always know your baby is safe, happy, and thriving. 📋 Strict Adherence to Routines: Whether your pup has specific dietary restrictions, precise medication schedules, or distinct boundary training rules, I follow your instructions down to a T. My goal is to provide a reliable, peaceful, and incredibly safe environment so you can travel with absolute peace of mind!

“Jared "Wise Animal Guardians" was an exceptional dog whisperer and house sitter. My dog Lena is a lurcher with Strong prey drive who just happens to have a chronic acl issue. Jared made sure she was not off leash (chasing little critters in the back yard is her favorite thing) and even massaged her nightly. Sent tons if pics and communicated at all times. I was able to have piece of mind on my much needed vacation. Would highly recommend.”

About: I love all kinds of pets and am local to cape cod. I am an engineer in Falmouth and would love to watch your pets while you are away. I have had dogs for 15 years and have watched cats for weeks at a time. I work in falmouth so I can come home on lunch breaks and stay full time other than that. I normally walk dogs in the morning before work and on lunch breaks, then take them to the park after work. I will work with pet parents to come up with a plan that works for each pet! I have a big house and a nice big yard. I live near a big field and the beach they can go to as long as its not the high tourist season.

About: Life long animal lover looking for some extra furry snuggles. Let me take care of your baby! I am located in the Forestdale area of Sandwich. I do have one dog of my own a very sweet and energetic Australian cattle dog and shepherd mix named Scottie. He is friendly with most dogs, as long as they are friendly in return. I take care of both dogs & cats. I am comfortable with small, medium and large size dogs. I have had cats, a bunny and a family dog growing up so I am used to being around lots of animals. I am also experienced with senior dogs as well as medication administration. I also have experience with e-collar training if that is something you wish to work on with your dog. I recently stepped away from my full time job so my availability is very open. Please reach out to me and let me know about you and your pets needs. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you both! I recently stepped away from my full time job in the culinary industry so my schedule is quite open and flexible. I have AM & PM availability. I have a dog of my own and have had multiple family pets over the years. I have always struggled with trustworthy and reliable pet care so it is my goal to provide exactly that for you.

About: Back on Rover after a two year hiatus! I currently live with my mother at her house in Cotuit. My house is located in a very safe family oriented neighborhood. I currently have one amazing dog named Smoki (Texas Cattle Dog) who has never met a dog he didnt like! He loves dogs of all sizes and is extremely well tempered. Several parks, trails are nearby and sidewalks line every street. Virtually my entire life growing up I was surrounded by animals (dogs,cats,fish etc) in my house and learned to love and properly take of animals at a young age. My current house is very pet friendly so i would love to take care of your dog/dogs while your away. We have tons of toys, leashes or whatever else you may have forgot to pack. I work from home on the computer doing apprasial work/school so my schedule allows me incredible flexibility. Anything from a Chihuahua to a St. Bernard would be a joy to spend time with. I have experience with almost every size/age of dog so no need to worry! I pay EXTRA attention to detail and have a lot of experience with special care for dogs (oral medicine,special diet,blindness, etc.). Iam up everyday at 6am to run so feel free to contact me at any time. My days revolve around my children or to some people dogs. I spent ten years out in Portland, Oregon and amassed a ton of experience with dogs over that time working for Rover. I would like to bring that experience to the Cape! I’m currently working from home so my schedule is as flexible as it gets. My schedule revolves around exercise and my dog so I’m always up early (6am) and always active. Expect your fur baby to be treated as a member of the family. Be it my home or yours I pride myself in going the extra mile. Everything from toys and treats are in abundance. Expect constant supervision and constant photo updates. My house is extremely safe and pet friendly. I have everything you could ever need to take care of a dog or cat!:)

“I have had a few different Rover sitters for my dogs and so far, Allyson is my favorite. I didn’t have to worry about my senior fur babies at all… She was the most responsive with text updates, she administered their meds twice a day, she was thoughtful even about my plants and fish and she even left our house clean! I adore her and she will be my first choice whenever we need a sitter again! What a great responsible gal!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of peoples pets since I was 14. I have two golden retrievers, one of which I have had since I was 6, so I am experienced with high energy pups! I also have one cat who is a little prickly so I am experienced with difficult cats. My mom says I have a “way with animals” and I would love to meet yours! I am a recent college grad so my schedule is pretty open as I look for a full time job. I can work weekends and weekdays- day or night! Pets in my care are always guaranteed a fun time! I am energetic and love to play. I always stick to regular feeding and bathroom times to ensure the best care!

About: Hi there! I'm Ellyn. I have a magnetic, intuitive connection with animals that seems to form the moment we meet. During a recent backpacking trip in the Grayson Highlands, I had an experience that perfectly illustrates this: a fellow hiker’s black lab approached me with such immediate, heartfelt recognition that the owner was completely taken aback. It felt as though we were long-lost companions reuniting. She came rushing to me, whining and crying with pure joy, and when I came down to her level, she immediately laid on me, whimpering and cuddling. 🥹 This is the energy I bring to every interaction. While I began my journey as a pet sitter years ago while living in California, I am now returning to this work with a deeper perspective. For my canine friends: I am a big believer in the power of a 'sniffari.' I love taking dogs on walks where they set the pace, allowing them to explore and sniff to their heart's content. I believe this is the most mentally enriching and effective way for a dog to walk, and I am always happy to facilitate that. For my feline friends: I am a true cat lover at heart! I understand that cats require a subtle, patient approach. I’m excellent at reading feline body language and providing the kind of quiet, respectful companionship that makes cats feel secure and relaxed. Why you can trust me with your pets: Beyond my natural rapport with animals, my professional background as a Registered Nurse and my practice as an energy medicine practitioner mean that I am observant, responsible, and highly attuned to the non-verbal needs of those in my care. I bring a professional level of health-conscious care to pet sitting. I am comfortable with: -Administering medications as prescribed. -Managing specialized feeding schedules or dietary requirements. -Tracking and reporting on any health symptoms or behavioral changes. Whether your pet needs active outdoor time or a calm, quiet presence at home, I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care. I would love to meet your companions and see how we connect! I currently work part time 3-4 evenings a week so have lots of time to care for long sniffy walks or quality time playing/snuggling with your pets! Trusted background as a registered nurse, willing to follow the schedule/flow you keep at your house. Am able to crate and take to appointments, as needed.

Cecilia took great care of our senior pup for four days/nights, and was excellent in accommodating his rather persnickety dining preferences, e.g., needing to try different foods for every meal. She also took great care of our house, even washing the bedding. Thank you Cecilia - from us and from Melvin!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cataumet

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 670 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cataumet. 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 Cataumet 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 Cataumet 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 Cataumet 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 Cataumet. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
