“Atlas, Molly and Triton enjoyed their time with Tina. We were away for a week and she did overnight stays with drop ins during the day. They did great with her and were happy and healthy when we got home. They get stressed in a kennel and were so much better with Tina. She also cleaned up the house which made returning home less stressful. The pups and I were super happy with Tina taking care of them! Triton gave her huge hugs when seeing her again so that was a great review from them!”

“Our dog has so much anxiety and Kathleen was amazing with him! He warmed up to her with her patience and it was a great weekend! She kept us updated and in turn we had a great time away, not worrying at all. She communicates well and quickly, she kept our house clean and in great condition. We would love to have her stay and take care of our dog again. Definitely recommend her to anyone else looking.”

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

“I’m so glad I found Terry! I am new to the area and needed someone special to take care of my dog and cat the first time I went away from our new house. The pets adored Terry right from the meet and greet, and she took great care of them. A neighbor met her when they were out walking and mentioned how well it was going. I recommend her very highly!”

About: I have been working with animals my whole life. I have been a veterinarian technician for six years now. I love all animals and ready to give them all the love. I go above and beyond making sure every pet. Is taken care of. I use my whole lunch break to come by and love on your babies. I have the whole weekend off to spend every second with them. I always make sure that rules are followed to a T. No pets on the couch all good we can snuggle on the floor. Do we need to sit and wait before eating that’s fair.

About: Your pet won't just be supervised—they will be completely folded into my daily routine, receiving constant affection, belly rubs, and inclusion in family life. My experience with animals isn't just a job; it’s a lifelong calling. For over a decade, I have cared for a diverse family of pets, mastering the art of reading their subtle body language and anticipating their needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality—from the high-energy pup who needs an exhausting game of fetch to the quiet senior who wants a gentle hand on their head. My hands-on experience has taught me how to establish instant trust, calm anxious minds, and provide a nurturing environment where pets don't just stay, but truly thrive. As a work-from-home entrepreneur, my schedule is entirely my own—which means your pet is never an afterthought, but a central part of my day. Because I control my hours, I don’t leave for a 9-to-5. Instead, my workspace is shared with your pet, offering them a constant, comforting human presence that drastically reduces separation anxiety. My daily routine is intentionally built around natural breaks that perfectly mirror a dog's need for stimulation, affection, and rest. I transform my home into a peaceful, tail-wagging sanctuary where your pet is treated as an honored family member, not a guest. Because I work from home, my environment is calm, highly predictable, and entirely secure.

“Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.”

“Michaela was amazing! She was able to help us out with our 2 German Shepherds on pretty last minute notice, and made sure to make time to have a meet and greet before hand. We were nervous to leave our dogs, especially our puppy who is only 5 months, but Michaela took such great care of them. She made sure to send us a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very quick to respond. We came home to a clean house & happy pups! We would 100% use Michaela again.”

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and have had plenty of experience raising kittens as well. I enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I do work part-time mostly once or twice a week on weekends, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.

About: Hey everyone! My name is Holbert. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, from Yorkies and Shih Tzus to Saint Bernards, and I’m just as happy spending time with cats too. I’m a law student, but outside of school I really enjoy being around animals, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets, playful with the energetic ones, and I’ll probably send you way too many funny pictures while you’re gone. I’m also very respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands 😊 My schedule is pretty structured during the week, with work on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 to 5 and classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 4. Fridays through the weekend, though, I have much more flexibility and can really dedicate my time to walks, drop ins, playtime, and hanging out with your pets. I also do my best to work pet care around my weekday schedule whenever possible, so your pet still gets the attention and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I try to keep things as comfortable and familiar for them as possible. I follow, feeding schedules, walking routines, house, rules, and any special instructions you leave for me, also making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m patient with pets who need a little extra time to warm up, and I always pay attention to their personality and comfort level. In a client‘s home, I’m also very respectful of the space. I will always leave things clean and cared for, just as I found them, if not better.

“This was our first time using Maurissa as a sitter in our home. She took copious notes regarding our dog's medication schedule, emergency procedures and daily routine. She was attentive to Pandora’s exercise limits and took her cues from Pandora when she needed to rest. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned and Maurissa even washed the sheets and towels she had used before we came home. We are definitely going to book Maurissa again and I know that Pandora will be excited to see her.”

We had Elizabeth watch our 2 dogs for 2 weeks and she was fabulous. Elizabeth stayed in contact with us on a daily basis and sent us pictures of our babies. She took such good care of them when we came home they were not stressed at all and we’re happy to see us. I would definitely use Elizabeth in the future. I cannot say enough about the Care she gave our pups.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chatham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Chatham is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chatham. 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 Chatham 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 Chatham 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 Chatham 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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
