“Daniella was fantastic. Right on time. My puppy had so much fun with her. She kept us posted with great pictures and even a video. We were nervous about using an online venue. We are 100 percent satisfied and will use her again for any future needs. She was wonderful. 🐾🐾🐾”
“Kait went above and beyond to make sure Nessie was comfortable and very well taken care of. She was extremely easy to communicate with and shared updates throughout her stay with our girl. I would Highly recommend Kait, she is amazing!!”
About: Have taken care of many types of dogs from Dalmatians and Cane Corsos, to Pomeranians and chihuahuas. I will make sure your dog is taken care of and entertained to my upmost ability I am currently in school 2 days a week, as well as working on getting my private pilots license , but I would be out before 12 everyday. I could take care of your pet before as well as after my lessons. I will follow any rule given to me as well as any instructions about care or treatment of your pet. I will not snoop around or try and be nosy or go into any rooms you don’t want me to go into.
“Carolyne was able to help me out with a last minute sit and took great care of my dog. Will use her again and greatly appreciate her. Smokey is looking forward to hanging out with her again in the future.”
“Emily was amazing! She sent tons of updates and I came home to an exhausted pup! She even did laundry after an accident (puppy problems, not Emily’s fault!) I can’t wait to work with Emily again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Mark was great! Easy to work with, took my pup on great walks, gave updates as needed. Our very anxious pup didn’t want him to leave when we got home. This was our first time using Rover so we were so nervous but Mark put our mind at ease. We would definitely use him again.”
“Ashley is our border collie Tess' new best friend. We are new to the area and Ashley has been an excellent resource. She is very personable, handled Tess well from the start, and kept us informed while we were away. We look forward to having her stay with Tess soon.”
About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.
About: I am a friendly, professional 43 year old artist and mom. I have been taking care of various dog breeds since I was 10 years old, starting with three feisty Dalmatian puppies who grew into show dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs of my family with various injuries and age disabilities which required heavy lifting and constant care and special diet needs. I am adept in feeding, crate training, walking, playing, health issues. I have been dog walking/sitting for neighbors, friends and family dogs throughout college in Boston, graduate school in Chicago and as and artist in New York City. Most recently my sister and I had a freelance dog walking business based around South Dartmouth, Martha's Vineyard and New Bedford, MA. I am an absolute dog lover--reliable,athletic, attentive, patient, calm under pressure and adaptable in various environments. I am available for long walks for athletic dogs, playing with your pup, devoting attention and care to senior dogs, dog sitting at home, quick jaunts for the day, or anywhere in between! I am a freelance artist living in Hyannis, MA and am very flexible to dog walking or sitting 7 days a week, very early morning throughout the day till evenings. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and feeding as frequently as needed for various dog sizes, ages, and health, exercise and time requirements in a client's home and am very comfortable with any outdoor local environment.
“Such a caring, kind and conscientious person. I cannot recommend Panny enough. We went on a three week trip to Africa and came home to a calm dog and a spotless home. I have been hiring dog-sitters for 30 years and Panny made them all pale by comparison.”
About: Ever since I can remember there's been a dog in the house. From English Mastiffs to Cava-poos, Boxers to Golden-doodles-I've had my fair share of caring for gentle giants and forever puppies. I currently have a doodle as well as a tabby cat, and yes, I do consider them as my children. I'm comfortable with any breed, and will always ensure they get the best care while you're away! While I do work full-time, I follow teacher hours and am fortunately out by about 3 PM. This will give me the afternoons/evenings free for play and dinner time. For the pups, I'll be able to bring them for a walk, to play fetch, cuddle up on the couch, etc. In your home, I will abide by your guidelines to a T-whether that involves a strict eating/bathroom-ing schedule, administering medications, exercise routines, crate-training, etc. I am a very clean person and do not mind washing bowls or vacuuming some fur whenever necessary.
“Duncan is absolutely wonderful. my dogs warmed to his gentle and calm demeanor instantly. he frequently sent photos and video updates which provided me with peace of mind while away from my pups. would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and volunteer weekly at an adoption center, walking various different breeds and ensuring they get the care they need and the necessary exercise. I am currently a student and look forward to taking care of pets and providing them with the care they need. I have had a passion for taking care of animals ever since I was really little and cannot wait to provide pets with my services! I have had a multitude of pet experiences and will watch for signs from your dog to ensure their best care. In my own home pets are like family and your pets will be treated as such.
“We can't say enough great things about Sarah and the amazing care she provided for our dog Ruth. We recently adopted Ruth and this was the first time we had to leave her for the weekend. Even before we left, Sarah was incredibly communicative, engaging, friendly and helpful. She truly helped calm any nerves or anxiety we may have had about being away. Even though we provided a detailed "care instruction document" for Ruth, Sarah went above and beyond and built out a schedule that she shared with us ahead of time. In addition to sending us pictures and updates, she was very communicative and checked in with us often. When we returned, Ruth was very happy to see us...but I'll be honest...I think she missed having Sarah around! We'd love to rebook with Sarah the next time we are looking for someone. She was incredible and we can't shout her out enough!!! Thanks again Sarah!”
About: I got my first dog in 1982. My first cat in 2021. I learned to walk, play with, feed and love my dog, Cara. Then in 1997 another came into my life and again I cared for her basic needs but next I learned to watch and listen to this one... and trained her in tricks and solid obedience. Next I started house sitting for sick old dog's who needed 24/7 attention. This was for Maureen Martin’s dog Higgins and her cat, Rio, in San Diego for 1999 - 2000. Later I found myself caring for so many people's dogs and cats, the last being in Westchester New York 2 weeks ago for Eliza, a black lab belonging to Mr and Mrs Brian S. Also at home I adopted Macy who has cancer as a kitten. She was treated and she is 3 years in remission now bc I played with her and brushed her and gently got her eating again through the chemo program. My reputation grew as a good cat babysitter and dog walker and caregiver. I am gentle, patient, firm and have strong communication with dogs and I speak the language of cats. I also am in very good athletic condition so I can offer your dog and cat a strong enough dose of energy and fun that your dog's anxiety about you not being there can subside. Your cats and dogs miss you when you leave them for work and important events. But I will fill in the gaps so they feel a warm friend is looking after them until you return home. I care for my own cat. Doing the litter daily and feeding her in the morning and evening with some in the middle of the day. She has cozy places to sleep and toys to play with to stay active. I interact with her and brush her to keep her in an overall healthy and good mental state. Playtime is a real winner with most pets. Those who are disabled or needing a different kind of care will get warmth and gentility from Me. If they need meds, I will do it in a caring way. If they need to be vigorous and enjoy companionship time in your absence, I am there to be their protector, buddy and server.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falmouth
Brittany navigated a very difficult situation while I was away, when a huge blizzard hit and she and Joey became trapped in a house with no power or heat. Cell service was bad but we were occasionally able to talk on the phone and she always maintained a good attitude even when she was stressed out, and gave me lots of information and updates when we were able to get through to each other. I was so appreciative of her sticking with Joey and making sure he was taken care of during the storm, and was glad to know he was in good hands. I came back to a tidy house and a happy dog!

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 Falmouth 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 Falmouth 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 Falmouth 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!

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.

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.
