“Zuzana was fantastic with my high energy puppy! She was always punctual and great communicating about her visit. My dog was always calm and relaxed when I returned home hours after her visit, and I could see he loved his walks with her.”
About: I have worked with dogs since I was 9 years old. I used to show Labrador Retrievers and worked with them closely for about 5 years. I also have experience with exotic pets since I own some myself! I also have 13 years experience with horses (riding/care). I work for an organic dog food company and spend most of my time around dogs and other animals! I’m working full time and looking to find some extra hours to do something enjoyable! I love working with animals and this is something that will be very fun! My pets safety and health is my main priority. I will make sure all their needs and safety measures are met. I know how important pets are and it is very important to care for them properly.
About: I have house sat for friends with dogs, including overnight stays. I am experienced with senior dogs; primarily walking, visiting and handling adult dogs. I am comfortable with younger dogs as well. I thoroughly enjoy interacting with dogs and miss my time with our yellow lab that was part of the family for 13 years. I am currently retired from corporate America after a 40 - year career in commercial banking. I love being outside and "moving". As an aside I have done the Pan Mass Challenge for 15 years. I do not intend to care for dogs in my home. My services will be at the owner's residence and neighborhood. I intend to learn about the owner’s wishes and dog’s habits, and be attentive to the personality of the dog.
About: I have been taking care of pets since 12 years old, I had a cat and later my mom gifted me a dog, animals making me feel happiness and full of love I am working morning shifts by my other job, my availability is every evening, if I have a day off at my work we can discuss about morning pet sitting My priority goal of taking care of pets is always make sure that animal had a meal and walk well, I am making sure that it made all needed things outside, had some run and play with me, activities is also very important)
“Rich did a great job caring for my 3 Huskies in my home. He is reliable, prompt and always communicated before and/or after each visit. I would definitely recommend Rich to care for pets.”
About: I grew up in a house of Golden Retrivers and I love meeting new dogs! I have been a dog walker in Boston for the past 4.5 years and well before that taking care dogs and walking since HS back in Holliston Ma. I have just permanently relocated full time to North Chatham and would love to start walking dogs again! I previously lost my 12 year old Golden Luna a year ago and now have an energetic crazy field Golden named Maggie who adores Chatham living. One of my clients that lives in Boston also resides in Harwich I have been walking her two Goldens Mac and Moby since 2023 down here whenever I was down at my families place. If you need a walker I would love to chat! I have a part time dog walker for 4.5 years and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around your schedule as needed. Unfortunately my condo only allows Golden Retriever Maggie so I would have to take care of your dog in your house/ drop ins at your place.
“Karen did an excellent job. I returned home after four days to find everything in good order and a very happy kitty cat. I will certainly go to Karen again for cat care.”
About: I love fresh air and think it's important for dogs to be dogs and enjoy it! Even without a dog, I go for walks every day to get my puppy fix and love to be outside. I also grew up with cats and am happy to keep any and all furry friends company! I have over 15 years of experience with everything from pet-sitting to babysitting and house-sitting, and I find it important that you feel comfortable while you're away from home. I am extremely trustworthy and responsible and would love to provide that comfort to your family. I have a corporate work-from-home job that offers me flexibility to help most weekdays and weekends. I am available to be around as often as needed, whether that be one-time drop-ins or spending a day working from "home" with some furry coworkers. I always make sure everyone is safe and happy, with a healthy awareness of dog behaviors and experience with reactive animals. I clean up after myself and always leave places cleaner than I find them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 which is when I got my first puppy! Family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed and play with their furry friends as they were away for work or vacation. During my senior year in high school, my senior project was dedicated to fight animal cruelty. For 9 months, I volunteered for an animal shelter where I used to play and take care of the dogs, as well as initiated fundraisers to help local shelters. I’m currently working full time from Monday-Friday, however I can accommodate my schedule to provide the best experience for you and your furry friend! I am available from Monday-Friday starting from 5pm for drop off visits or walks/play dates. I am also available on the weekends at any time. Care for your little friend will be provided according to client’s request/directions. Only on leash walks will be provided for the safety of your pet 🙂 If allowed, we can go for dog park visits and trail walks. Prior to our walks/drop in visits, I would love to set a time to meet you and your dog, so we can familiarize with each other and provide the most comfortable experience!
About: I have cared for pets my whole life and frequently care for friend’s pets when needed. I have a home in Yarmouth, work remotely full time and always open to caring for pets in their own home if preferred. I have an amazing cat of my own that loves other animals. I also have a 16 year old daughter that has helped raise dogs & cats since she was a baby. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your fur baby! I currently have a work from home schedule, Monday through Friday with flexible availability for pet care in between. I own my home in Yarmouth. I have a very big yard with a runner for pups that enjoy being outside. I have the ability to keep kitties indoors if preferred. Plenty of space in my home to care for pets.
“Lana was the most responsive and caring sitter for my two cats. My Kitties are not used to having cat sitters and are very nervous around new people. She spent extra time communicating with me about their behavior. She also made sure that my extra shy little girl had a chance to eat by feeding her in the bedroom where she was hiding. Lana is a gem and I would be happy to have her take care of my cats any time. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I am entering my senior year at the University of Rhode Island, earning a degree in animal science, specializing in zoo and aquarium animal science with a focus on behavior and training. The classes I have taken at the university focus on animal biology, care, management, and behavior. I have had many animal care experiences ranging from cats and dogs, aquatic species at the Mystic Aquarium, and most recently caring for a geriatric elephant (so large dogs don’t scare me :))! Throughout my life I have had many pets from cats and dogs, to small mammals and reptiles. I have also had some experience training various animals, such as cats, chickens, bears and elephants! I have the basic skills to train using operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. I am working a part time summer job at a restaurant mostly working at night. I am available to do drop in visits throughout the day. I will not be able to take your pets into my home because I have pets of my own. Safety is my number one priority for myself and your pets and am willing to work through any challenges your pet may face!
About: this is my first time using a professional app for dog sitting, I have always helped animals at any local party/event I've gone too. Even if I am not asked to, I ask attendees if I can fill up food/water bowls, give them walks, tend to their needs, whatever to take off the hosts mind. I'm currently working part time ! My schedule is usually free after 2pm and I can come in all day on Mondays , Tues , and Thursdays. When I had a dog and a cat my yard was always fenced up, I can provide walks around the neighborhood if it's wished, and If you animal feels the need to sleep by my side at night they can do so as pleased, any accommodations provided to your furry friends will be fulfilled.
About: I have personally had five family rescue dogs since the 1980s. The majority taken in from puppy stage up to 4 years of age. Most stayed with us through their senior years. I am retired from work and am available with a reliable vehicle equipped with pet crates for safe transportation or can travel to your home as necessary. I can care for your pet in my home on a 1-acre lot on a private road/area. Or, I can travel to your home as necessary.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Orleans
This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous to leave my kittens alone. Taylor came over to meet Ollie, Andy, and I a couple of days before I left and I knew the boys would be in great hands. She kept me updated throughout my trip away. She also made sure to send me pics and even offered to water my plants. She’s the best and I can’t recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Orleans is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 per visit. 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 393 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Orleans. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Orleans. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
