“David was an excellent dog sitter!! I felt so comfortable letting him stay in our home and take care of our furry babies! He was very patient with our high energy dog and even went above and beyond to make sure our little dog ate by adding some extra food which I didn’t have time to prepare before my trip. He also communicated very well!! I would highly recommend David as a dog sitter!”
“Just used Arianna for the first time to house sit our two dogs- could not speak more highly of her! She provided regular updates with pictures and videos and even helped problem solve an issue with the touchpad to our door. It was clear our dogs were comfortable and loved having her there with them. Can’t wait to use her again! Thanks so much Arianna!”

Currently have open availability throughout the week with only a part time job taking a small amount of time from my week and weekends can accommodate for your needs I give them plenty of potty breaks and keep a close eye on what they want and need plus follow any instructions left by the owner
About: I worked in pet care for around 1.5 years so I'm experienced with all sizes, ages, and maintenance requirements. I walked dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as mastiffs and great danes! Not to mention, I cared for seniors who required a multitude of medication such as insulin shots or just needed a little more patience as I went through my day. I also cared for my own kitty for 15 sweet years (including administering medication when she got older), and currently take care of my family’s maltipoo :). I’m not currently working so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your furry ones! I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I can easily accommodate any needs your pet has in your home. Additionally, I will respect any house rules and make sure the space is just as you left it.
About: I have been working as a veterinary technician for 13 years! I have experience in emergency medicine, small/ large animals, exotics as well. I can administer medications if needed at home. I want to make your fur baby as comfortable as possible. 🐾 I work with pets all day every day. I love animals.I want to create a safe environment for your pets to relax while you are away. I have a fenced in yard I have 2 medium sized dogs and 1 small dog that would love to play with your fur babies!
About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.
About: I’ve been dog sitting & providing services for over 10 years now! For 5+ years I’ve dog sat Gracie the pit bull (see photos) as her father is always traveling for work for extended periods of time prior to coming back to this platform. I would dog sit on multiple occasions for weeks or months at a time, therefore I'm comfortable working extended periods of time with multiple animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own so I understand on a personal note how sentimental they mean to their owners! I pride myself in my patience & professionalism. I carry myself with a lot of compassion & empathy however, which is why I wanted to begin working & applying more of my time with animals again! Complete availability Monday through Friday, I’m open between 7:30am-10:30pm for any doggie daycare needs, dog walking or drop ins! Very easy going & willing to do weekends for repeated clients! ❤️ I currently have a huge fenced backyard & will always make sure they’re monitored. I love to be present with every animal I watch so I always ensure the doggies are safe while they’re playing or resting. I’ll never leave them unattended!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I can remember. When I was 12 I started a little pet sitting business because I was determined to meet and care for any animal that I didn’t own. At 18 I was employed at a service dog training facility in Nipomo, CA and cared for as well as worked with up to 12 dogs at one time. I raised puppies from 2 months to 6 months for their program and helped get them ready for training as well. After that I found employment at a pet boarding establishment in Arroyo Grande, CA and worked there for 3 years while attending college. I have owned dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, fish, and snakes and enjoyed them all. I have a very active lifestyle and would love to take your pets on walks if that would be something they’d enjoy. I also live a few miles from a large, fenced-in dog park, and would take them on trips there if desired. I’m open to special requests and more! I am a stay at home mom of one and am available all day every day. I take walks every morning and sometimes in the evenings and would love to bring your dog(s) with me! I have a fenced-in back yard that is mostly grass as well as some rocks. If your dog is a digger, the rocks surround the outer edges of the yards by the fence, so they’d be unable to escape! I have one 6 year-old Doodle who is vaccinated and is a retired service dog from the facility I used to work at. He is a neutered male and loves any sized dog. He would prefer the company actually! Your dog would be surrounded by love, both human and not. I can crate them if need be as well, or keep them separate from my dog as well.
About: I am a dedicated animal lover who cannot have pets due to housing rules. Because of this, I treat every pet sitting opportunity with extra care and excitement. I am reliable, attentive, and will give your pet my full focus, affection, and high-quality care It fits into my schedule perfectly. While I currently do DoorDash on the side, I want to be more active. I have a lot of energy, love hiking, and thrive outdoors, which makes pet care a great fit for me. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect. I closely follow all owner instructions, maintain a clean environment, and stick to strict feeding and exercise schedules to ensure the animals stay safe, happy, and comfortable.
“Jess is a terrific sitter! She was great about sending updates and photos. When my old dog had an accident, she immediately reached out to locate appropriate cleaning supplies so that she could take care of it the right way. The house was cleaner than I’d left it! The pups were very happy and we will definitely have Jess sit for us again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Exeter is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $42 per night. 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 200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Exeter. 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 Exeter 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 Exeter 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 Exeter 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 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.

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.
