“Ryane did an amazing job caring for our pets and our home while we traveled to Mexico for a week. We have a kitten, a senior cat and a senior chihuahua that requires specialized care and medications. We felt completely at ease knowing she was there and our pets would be loved and taken care of while we were away.”

“Bri was fantastic with my pups! It was so great being able to go on vacation and not have a single worry that my dogs were in great hands. I received daily photos and videos! She also gave my house a clean before I got home, which was such a relief after a long day of traveling. I definitely plan to have Bri watch my pups again!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by different types of dogs my whole life from sports dogs to K-9 units to house dogs. I love all kinds of dogs and I have dog sat many dogs like huskies and yorkies. I currently care for a 15 year old pitbull that needs attentive care and have the ability to adjust to newcomers and elder dogs. I have two dogs that I care for after my full time job. I’m currently looking for a side hustle job that I can do after work. Keeping the dog in its dominant home I think is safer than transporting the dog into a new environment. I’ll be sure to feed the dog its regular based food plan, constant let outs to bathroom use, and extensive cleaning if accident

About: I’ve own dogs since I was little. German Shepherd, poodle, Mastiff mix. Board and dog sitting for friends and family throughout the years. Love dog company, caring for them, providing the best attention, playtime, basic training and good nutrition to ensure their happiness and a healthy life. Animals are like family. Their wellbeing is very important to me. They are just amazing and precious. My last best friend, my boy Dice, (now in heaven), a 110lbs American Bulldog, was potty trained at 3 months old. As he grew, I taught him not to pull when on a leash, to sit and lay down, to be calm when we had visitors, to seek, fetch, obedience and other basic commands that are important to teach at an early age. When I was away from home, I made sure he had the best sitters or boarding care possible. I understand you would like the same for your dog. After 14 happy years, sadly, age came with arthritis, difficulty standing up or walking. But I was there 24/7 to provide the best care and love. I administered oral medication every 6 hours for 1 year, allowing him to still do very short potty trips and walks outdoors. The last 4 months of life, all was done indoors. I helped to get to an area I prepared to go potty. Sometimes it happened on the way. He had to be cleaned up several times a day and fed by hand. Sleepless nights always by his side. We made several trips to the emergency hospital until the doctor said it was time to let go. Very painful. His ashes are with me now. He will be forever in my heart. I will do it all over again. Dogs are like children. They deserve all the best. Until I find my next best friend, let me give yours all my love and attention. I work from home with my own schedule. I have plenty of time to provide all the attention he/she needs to be comfortable, loved and happy. Keeping your dog mentally and physically entertained is important for a perfect day. I don’t have a fenced yard but plenty of outdoor space, surrounded by trees for short walks on a leash, games and a backyard deck & porch for free time and fresh air. Your puppy will feel at home and cozy.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I have been around animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My own dog has since passed away, but I helped care for him throughout his later years, which taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and providing extra comfort and support. Because of this experience, I am comfortable giving medications, helping pets stick to their routines, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection. Whether that means going on walks, playing fetch, providing  activities, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply spending quality time cuddling and keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Since I am currently a college student and school is out, I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I also work as a babysitter, but Rover is my top priority job. I make sure to schedule my time carefully so that every pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply spending quality time together, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. Because of my flexible availability, I can easily accommodate different routines and help pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have three cats who, despite not paying rent, are very well taken care of! Caring for them is a big part of my daily routine. I make sure they receive their daily feedings, fresh water, interactive playtime, plenty of attention, and daily litter box cleanings to keep their environment clean and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible so their pets feel safe and comfortable. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, administering medications if needed, and providing lots of love and companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel cared for while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable care, maintain a clean environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Eileen was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Maeva, Maude, and Vito, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She sent so many photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious they were well cared for and loved.❤️ She also left my home spotless, which I really appreciated. I’m so thankful I found her and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Leandra was great! It was such short notice and my anxiety about leaving my animals with a stranger in a new-to-us city was very high, but after meeting her I felt so much better taking my trip! She did not mind catering to my senior dog's needs and was fine with my larger dog too. I got updates and photos throughout the stay and it was really helpful for my peace of mind. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, highly recommend for someone patient and reliable! 10/10”

About: Hi my name is Michael. I am a current senior at Wilkes who is looking to get involved in the local community. I have spent several years caring for dogs. I have two of my own at home in Stroudsburg (pit mixes), and in high school and over breaks I have pet sat and walked dogs for over a dozen homes in my community. I take pride in being a student leader and a future educator, as well as being responsible, dependable, and knowledgeable. For instance, I am well versed in dog body language, basic obedience, and many different breeds and personalities (small to big, guardian breeds, I love them all!). I am happy to reinforce the rules, expectations, and training that you have with your pet, or teach small new things like leash manners. Whether your dog needs to burn some energy, or just needs someone to check in on them throughout the week, I hope that you will consider me! Being a college student, my schedule is actually pretty flexible. I am generally available for: Morning/Midday walks/check-ins throughout the work week. Afternoon and evening visits on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend stays or longer visits potentially as well. If you have any questions please reach out and I can see if we can work something out! Being a pet parent myself, I understand the varying needs and concerns when it comes to a pet sitter. Because of that, I take time to speak with all owners about expectations, routines, and how they would like me to approach their home and pets. I usually like to meet all pets with the owners before beginning care as well, simply to ensure that they are comfortable with me. Generally, I will also take notice and respond to any body language or comfort concerns, exercise and training expectations, feeding and medication routines, and any other requests that an owner or pet may bring! If you have any questions please also reach out!

“Noelle is great and goes above and beyond. She stayed with my two dogs for multiple nights which is not easy. My dogs are lovable but they are rescues who were abused so they have behavioral issues. Noelle wasn’t worried and came to spend time with them ahead of our travel to ensure she understood their challenges and learned how to handle them. One of my dogs is people selective but loved Noelle from the start. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. She even worked on some training techniques with them during her stay. She is a true animal lover and it’s evident in her care towards all animals, treating them as her own. I highly recommend her!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Exeter

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Exeter on Rover is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $36 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 196 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Exeter. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
