“Rodney came to my rescue! Recently I had to go to the ER during the night and I was worried about who would take care of my dogs in the morning. I was able to contact him around 7:00 a.m. so he could come over and take care of the dogs. Potentially it could have been an overnight, but that wasn't needed. It was so wonderful to know that my dogs would be well cared for before and after my return home! Usually he just comes for a drop-in visit every other week, but this required more visits. The dogs are still getting used to him, but he works very hard to get them to trust him and it is paying off. Thank you, Rodney!”

About: I’ve house sat for a number of families for almost a decade. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, puppies, and turtles! I can manage multiple animals at once, and have been known to complete a few home chores in the process. I am reliable and hard working and love sending you pictures of your fur babies while you’re away so you can see how they are doing! Communication is the most important key to house and pet sitting. I look forward to working with you and your family! My typical schedule: Work: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Sunday School: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday ** I have a few hours in between classes so depending on how close the sitting location is I can do a check in or walk! ** I always make sure I am at the pets home if I am not at work or school so they constantly have company, or if they require outside time or an emergency I am there. I enjoy sending photos of pets to their family so they can see how their baby is doing! I have experience administering medications and following specific feeding routines.

About: I have over a year of experience dog sitting both drop in visits and overnight. I can adjust to any specific needs your pet may need including administering pills and most other medication. I take care of five of my beloved cats at home. They’re very spoiled so my routine involves cleaning their water fountain each week along with their litter robot whenever it needs to be emptied. I provide puzzle toys for enrichment and have even taught one of my cats a trick he does for his wet food dinner. When taking care of a families home I always make sure to leave things the same way they were when I arrived. Whether that being washing any dishes I used and remaking the bed so things are tidy when they return.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and loving pet caregiver who treats every dog like my own. I provide safe walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand how important routines and comfort are, so your fur baby will always feel secure and cared for with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my day around consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail. I schedule feeding times, walks, and check-ins so each pet gets reliable care without rushing. I’m already used to managing a structured home routine, so adding pet care flows smoothly with my day. I make sure I’m fully present during each visit—giving pets focused attention, playtime, and care while also staying organized with communication and updates for the owner. My home is set up with safety in mind, including a fully fenced front and back yard to give pets secure outdoor space for play and potty breaks. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure they stay safe and comfortable. Indoors, I keep all doors secured, remove any hazards, and create a calm, pet-friendly environment. I also follow each pet’s routine closely and never leave them unsupervised in unsafe situations. My goal is to provide a safe, loving space where pets can relax and feel at home

“Clara was more than wonderful and so kind and caring with our corgi Francis, who suffers with Degenerative Myelopathy and has special needs. We knew from our Meet & Greet when Francis immediately responded to her that they would enjoy their time together. We felt more than comfortable leaving him with Clara and knew that if there was ever an emergency, she would handle it with the utmost professionalism and care. Clara's training and experiences makes her excellent in working with all kinds of animals. She was punctual and asked key questions about Francis' needs and what was required during her visit. We would give her the highest rating of any of the excellent Rover sitters we have used. We hope to be able to have her sit with Francis again soon.”

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, especially pit bulls, and I’m very comfortable caring for strong, energetic, and affectionate dogs. I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, and I treat every dog with the same love and respect I give my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for two beautiful tuxedo cats, so I’m familiar with meeting cats where they are—whether they’re playful, independent, or just want a quiet companion. Having pets of my own has taught me how important trust, routine, and attention are, and I always make sure animals feel safe, loved, and at home while in my care. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be fully present for the pets in my care. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I can easily adjust my day to match your pet’s routine, whether that includes early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, medication reminders, or extra cuddle time. My flexible work-from-home schedule also allows me to respond quickly to any needs that come up and gives me the freedom to focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of dogs and a designated dog park, which provides a safe and social environment for pets to get exercise and enrichment. I always supervise playtime at the dog park and only allow interactions that are positive and appropriate for each pet’s temperament and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I ensure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of care I would want for my own animals.

I could not have asked for a better dog sitter!!! She went above and beyond with the care she provided to my baby!!! From the moment I met her at our meet and greet, it was evident how knowledgeable and experienced she is with pet care. She didn’t bat an eye at the extra care Luna needs for some health issues and she was comfortable administering Luna’s medicine. I had complete peace of mind while I was out of town with the many updates, pictures, and even videos Ashley would send to me!! I cannot recommend her enough!!! I will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Hampton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
