“Emily was amazing! She sent tons of updates and I came home to an exhausted pup! She even did laundry after an accident (puppy problems, not Emily’s fault!) I can’t wait to work with Emily again!”
“Abby was amazing!!! She was very communicative, thoughtful around our home, and went above and beyond to make sure our two dogs were incredibly well taken care of. We would love to hire her again in the future.”
“Nikki is wonderful!! We have an 11 year old chocolate lab, Irish, who has some quirky behaviors - Nikki sat for us for 6 days and she and Irish had a wonderful time! Nikki provided frequent updates on how things were going which put us at ease! We are so glad we have found someone who is respectful and capable to watch Irish and our home while we travel. Thank you Nikki!! We will have you back often!”
“It's been a minute since I used Rover (eight or nine years goes by quick). I had a great Rover sitter out West many years ago when there was no whites on his face, butt, and paws. He was just a black pup then. He walked, ran, and leapt pain-free. 'Mack', like his owner, has just simply gotten older, and is described with whatever adjectives come with the word, 'old' since. Enter Angela. I reached out to her a couple weeks before I was leaving for a week, and she responded promptly. She came to my house a few days later, over the weekend, to meet him. Mack is vocal, overly so at times, and is protective of me, in spite of my attempts to dissuade that behavior, constantly, for 13 years. Get near me, he barks. Just the way it is. Angela gave him a treat here and there while being unwavered and kind to him. He was nipping her heels as I showed her around my place... ...still unwavered and kind. I knew she was the right person, and she took the job which was staying at my house with him for a week. She walked the old man every day, took excellent care of my house (absolutely not asked of her), easily navigated a farmer's dog diet, and fired happy/action pictures of my dog to me every evening. He was definitely loved. He showed his belly in return. He doesn't do that for just anyone. I could tell he was kinda bummed it was me in charge again when I returned. I wanna keep Angela to myself, but it's only fair to recommend her. She's responsible, beyond trustworthy, and truly great with doggies! Highly recommended!”
“Rachael is an outstanding dog sitter. We had Rachael watch our dog Otis for an overnight stay at home. Plans had to change on our end and Rachael was so accommodating. By her staying and taking such great care of Otis and our home we were able to focus on what we had to that weekend. The pictures and update sent were wonderful ! I highly recommend Rachael for any needs that you have and Otis will be seeing her again !”
“Sarah is AMAZING. She took such good care of our boys and our house while we were on our honeymoon, and we came back knowing that they had been well loved while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with Sarah again!”
“Wonderful and caring. I’m so happy to have found such a great person to watch over my two dogs. It helped to make our time away less stresssful for us all. Thank you Karen!”
“Paige was fantastic! We have a Jack Russell mix who has a lot of energy and needs to go out and walk and play a lot! Also, because of a health condition, requires a bit more care and has to be very regimented. Paige took care of everything! I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worry or hesitation that my girl would be cared for like she was Paige’s own! Bonus — She sent me pics everyday! Paige will be my go to and I would recommend her to any and everyone!”
“Zack stayed at our house for 3 days while we were away. He did a great job....the dog was happy and he left our house in great shape. He was very responsive through the whole process. I look forward to using Zack again!”
About: I love all furry friends! I care for many different animals from cats to dogs to rabbits and guinea pigs. I have experience caring for disabled animals, puppies/kittens, and those that require medication and frequent trips outside. I am a full-time pet sitter with my focus primarily in visiting cats, dogs, as well as any other small animals. I am an avid dog walker and often walk several miles a day with my furry friends! I am flexible and very considerate of each individual pets needs. I am also aware of Owner’s needs and little things I can do while I am there to help. For those who go away for a longer periods of time, bringing in mail or little chores is no worry.
About: We recently moved to Harwich from Bedford, MA in Oct 2024. We love taking walks and taking car rides with our Goldens to try new trails or beaches that are pet friendly and meet other dogs and Pet Owners My Wife and I are recently retired now living in Harwich and are avid walkers. We love taking walks on the beach, Thompsons Field and neighborhoods. Our Golden has the common area free to roam and we crate her at night. We have a runner off back deck that we use while outside with her. Never let her loose unless we are with her.
“Kathleen was wonderful with our dog. I would trust her anytime to watch our dog. She was very kind and responsible. Our dog had a wonderful time and was very happy the whole time. Kathleen sent videos and really put us at ease while we were away. Thank you Kathleen. We are so glad we found you.”

“Duncan was super communicative, and checked in with us each day, to let us know how our girl was doing. Our dog was very relaxed by the time we got home, thanks to receiving loads of attention, and the house was immaculate. Highly recommend Duncan for your pet!”

Mikaila was great. Luckily, she had an opening on short notice. She came right over to meet my puppy. She asked all of the pertinent questions and made sure we knew how to reach one another. She went out of her way to take Milly to the better dog park, which is a further drive. I would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dennis on Rover is $88.8 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 394 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dennis. 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 Dennis 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 Dennis 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 Dennis 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.

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.
