“Hannah was fantastic with Oliver! She sent adorable pics throughout the visit so I could see he was happy and well taken care of. She was so sweet with him and left my apartment spotless when she left. I'd trust her with Oliver again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Erin took great care of our Shepherd mix Trekker and our home over the Thanksgiving holiday. Trekker has never seemed as relaxed and comfortable after a pet sitting experience. She was very well cared for and the house was immaculate. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jeanne was wonderful! We planned a summer trip before we even knew we were getting a puppy, so we were nervous about leaving her behind at only 6 months old. Jeanne came to the house ahead of time to meet our puppy and understand our needs and Coco's routines. During her stay at our house, she sent us updates and pictures, and we knew that Coco was in good hands! I would book with Jeanne again, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to feel loved while they are away!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Trie provided for our 13-year-old Maltipoo. He has a tough time with separation anxiety and often struggles with eating when we're away, but Trie was absolutely incredible with him. She stayed by his side, took him on several walks a day, and knew exactly how to encourage him to eat. Trie sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, kind, and attentive — exactly the kind of person you’d hope to find to care for your pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for any future travel!”
About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!
About: I have had 2 dogs for the last 6 years although one recently passed and have helped out with dogs since I was 16. Not great with cats but could watch it needed. I can administer medication as well as I had to for my dog. Monday and Friday I can use my lunch break for a visit, middle of the week days , I am available after 3, weekends are wide open I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space and our dog cannoli is very very friendly and will love to have a friend. She is up to date with all vaccinations.
“Allison was truly a blessing and if I ever need this service again, I will absolutely contact her! This was my first time ever leaving for multiple days and our planned sitter (a friend of ours) fell through shortly before our trip. Allison gave us the peace of mind that our dog's would be taken care of. She stayed with them for more time than I had even dared hope for and sent us regular updates. She was transparent, responsible, respectful and kind. Upon our return it was obvious that our dogs missed us but it was also obvious that they had been well cared for and treated with nothing but love and kindness. I can't possibly be even more thankful than I am.”
“Mary took very good care of Gertie. She was prompt, communication was good, and she sent photos while we were away. She left our home as clean as when she arrived. This was our first experience with Rover and it was very positive.”
“5 stars across the board.... We felt so comfortable with Carolyn house sitting and dog sitting... She sent so many photos and our dog looked so happy... Amazing communication and super caring!!! Carolyn will be our "go-to" hopefully long term”
“Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful! I have a senior dog and a quirky dog and she took care of them exactly how they needed! I was able to enjoy myself knowing they were in great hands. It was like having a trusted family member watching them.”
“Cheryl dog sat at our house for our six-year-old bulldog and one-year-old rescue (only two weeks with us when Cheryl came). She did a great job. Clyde our new rescue took a couple days to warm up to Cheryl, but she did a great job making him comfortable. I would definitely use Cheryl again!”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful!!! She is incredibly responsive to text messages and took such good care of our Sadie for 3 nights. This was the 1st time we left our 7 month old golden with anyone and of course, wanted everything to go smoothly. She sent me photos and updates and I didn’t have to worry at all. I would absolutely hire Sarah again without any hesitation!! I know you’ll love her!”
“As someone dog sits myself, I am very particular about who we trust to watch our pups. This is our second time having Kaitlyn sit for the girls and we feel so, so grateful to have found her. She is very trustworthy, responsible, and caring. I know they are in the best hands with Kaitlyn and the girls are already looking forward to seeing her again in June!”
“Isabella took amazing care of our 3 cats! When their auto feeder stopped working suddenly she was able to swing by in the morning to fix it. We loved the check ins and photos we received giving us piece of mind that are fur babies were well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”
“Heather is great! This is the first time we have used the Rover app and we reached out to Heather because we were impressed by her reviews. She came out to meet us and our boys prior to booking, which was much appreciated. She checked in while we were away with texts and pictures. She spent quality time with the boys, and was often outside with them on out porch which we appreciated very much. She was respectful of our home and we came home to very happy pups! Thank you Heather!”
“Angelia responded to a last minute request to sit our three dogs for a day in our AirBnB while on vacation so we could take a day trip to Boston. She came early to meet the dogs and get acquainted with them and was great with them. By the time we returned even the Chihuahua, who is very slow to accept strangers, was won over. Would highly recommend Angelia.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around both dogs and cats. Whether it is keeping up with an energetic dog, taking them on a walk, or taking care of an attentive cat, I am passionate about making them happy. I have always been a go-to when it comes to friends going on vacation. There hasn’t been a time in my life where I wasn’t around a pet! As a student, I am currently on summer break, so I am available on a daily basis. I am available all day or night for care, walks, and check-ins. To ensure the best possible care for your pet I will familiarize myself with the home environment. I can utilize toys or tools you may have for your pet, or can even bring some of my own if need be! Able to walk around in neighborhoods or play in yards.
“Jennifer was great - she came to our home for 3 nights that we were going to be out of town to take care of our 10 lb. chihuahua mix. The house was left spotless and our dog seemed like she had a really great time while we were away (which isn't always the case). We'll definitely be booking again for our in-home pet sitting needs.”

FAQs for House Sitting - East Hampstead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,973 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Hampstead. 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 East Hampstead 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 East Hampstead 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 East Hampstead 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.
