“Anna is terrific! We have not used Rover before and were a little hesitant with someone staying in our home when we plan on going on vacation. Several weeks before our trip, Anna Mei came to our house and spent about 2 hours with us and our dogs. That was a great way for us to get to know each other and see how comfortable our dogs were with her and she with our dogs. At her suggestion, we spent one night in a hotel as a trial run while she stayed with our dogs. Everything went really well, and she kept us updated on what was going on. She definitely earned our trust, and we are relieved that we found a reliable sitter for when we are on our vacation. We will definitely request her again. Thanks Anna!”

About: I’ve previously owned both dogs and cats and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I own and operate a pressure washing company, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to plan my days around pet care. My business naturally slows down during the winter months, giving me more availability during the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I care for pets by following their normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and regular walks or bathroom breaks when needed. I keep their environment clean and safe and give each pet time to feel comfortable around me. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing.

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: I’ve never really known life without pets. Dogs and cats have been part of my household since I was a toddler. I've cared for a pretty wide range of personalities, breeds, ages, and energy levels.. I’ve also provided occasional pet sitting for friends and family, including walks, feeding routines, and basic grooming, and overnight care. I currently have two cats of my own, who are frequently spoiled. So I am also well-versed in cat care. In the past I’ve owned several other cats and dogs, including a Jack Russell Terrier, a Black Lab Retriever, and a Coonhound. I am conscientious about the pets in my care. I take the time to get to know the animals and follow their normal routine as much as possible. I can happily provide energetic walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. Whatever their particular needs and quirks, I will be attentive and affectionate with your pets while you are away. I am currently currently working from home part-time. My schedule is usually flexible, so I can accommodate the specific needs of your pets. I look forward to talking with you. I am very communicative with my clients. I want to you to be confident that your pet will be well cared for. I strictly follow my clients’ instructions and can send pictures and updates as often as requested.

She followed the instructions I left for her to care for our babies perfectly and we came back to two happy dogs. She also sent a lot of cute pics and plenty of detailed updates! Thank you so much Tiffany, we will definitely be booking with you again:) Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been trusted with homes and pets since 2008, when house sitting first came into my life organically through friends and people I knew who traveled. They needed someone dependable to stay in their homes, care for their pets, and keep an eye on things while they were away. Long before I knew professional house sitting was a thing, I was already doing it. My hands on pet care experience became even more personal when I became the primary caregiver for Angel, my senior Shih Tzu. I managed her complete day to day care, including feeding, walks, bathing, grooming appointments, veterinary visits, medication administration, companionship, and the changing needs that come with caring for an older dog. Today, I bring that same patience and attentiveness to the pets entrusted to me through professional house sitting. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, maintaining established routines, providing companionship, and adapting my care to each pet’s individual personality and needs. But what truly distinguishes me is everything else I bring through the front door. I’m a U.S. Air Force disabled veteran and retired IT professional with 26 years of experience. My career included systems engineering, cybersecurity, incident response, and positions requiring a Top Secret security clearance. I’m also a former real estate professional and longtime homeowner with firsthand experience managing renovations, repairs, contractors, maintenance, and the unexpected situations that come with caring for a property. That experience matters when you’re trusting someone with your home and pets. If something doesn’t look right, I notice. If detailed instructions need to be followed, I follow them. If something unexpected happens, I know how to assess the situation, communicate clearly, and determine when immediate attention is needed. I understand privacy, security, accountability, and what it means to be trusted with someone else’s property. I don’t simply stay in your home and feed your pets. I tend to what you’ve entrusted to me, your pets, your home, their routines, and the everyday details that allow you to leave with confidence. Because you’re not simply trusting someone to feed the dog. You’re trusting someone with your home and a member of your family. You roam. I tend. 🏡🐾🌍 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide attentive house and pet sitting based on each client’s needs. I work to maintain your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, playtime, and bedtime routines while you’re away. Because I stay in your home, I can provide consistent companionship and care while also keeping an eye on your home and everyday details. I provide attentive, individualized care based on each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, medication when needed, and plenty of attention. I follow the pet parent’s instructions closely and prioritize maintaining a safe, comfortable, and calm environment throughout their stay.

About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

About: I have taken care of huskies and neighbors dogs when I was younger and in my parents house. Now that I have my own home and backyard, I want to continue taking care of dogs, even if it's just for a couple of days! I have been a dog walker for several people around the Newport News area. I'm totally dedicated on the weekends! Available all day long! Monday through Friday, I work full time, working from 8-3:30. I'm available after 3:30 to pet sit, walk dogs, or take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and a loving little white dog that can be your dogs companion during their stay! During the weekend, I am completely dedicated to pet sitting!

About: I have had animals of all kind, for my whole life. My grandfather had cows, chickens, pigs, horses and dogs and cats, of course!

I am also available on weekends. I am off at 3:30 on the weekdays so 4pm would be perfect for scheduling. I and caring and kind. I can't have pents at my home, but can gladly walk your pet or visit him/ her at your 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.

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.

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.
