“Brooke is an absolute peach. She is very friendly and kind. We have a rescue dog that can be very difficult to work with and she was able to connect with him very easily. She did everything we asked for and more! You can tell that she absolutely loves animals and truly cares for their well being. We will gladly have Brooke come back if we need help! - Barbara and Jon”
“Gabrielle is an excellent choice as a dog sitter. She stayed in her home for a few days and Coco had a great time with her. She's easy to communicate with and very kind.”
“Natasha took gentle and kind care of my 14 year old cat. I was very nervous about leaving him for the first time but she kept me updated with photos and texts of how he was doing. Would definitely have her watch him again if I plan on going out of town. Plus, my kitty really loved her!”
About: I love all kinds of pets and am local to cape cod. I am an engineer in Falmouth and would love to watch your pets while you are away. I have had dogs for 15 years and have watched cats for weeks at a time. I work in falmouth so I can come home on lunch breaks and stay full time other than that. I normally walk dogs in the morning before work and on lunch breaks, then take them to the park after work. I will work with pet parents to come up with a plan that works for each pet! I have a big house and a nice big yard. I live near a big field and the beach they can go to as long as its not the high tourist season.
“Cecilia is a godsend, she took good care of my sweet baby and kept me updated and sent pictures. Highly recommend and look forward to booking her services again in the future.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three family dogs and was the primary caretaker and trainer for my most recent dog, Aiko. Through daily walks, feeding, grooming, training, and playtime, I gained valuable experience understanding the unique needs of different dogs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, including both small and large breeds. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone keep them company, I will provide attentive, reliable, and loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. As a college student, I am currently home for the summer and not taking classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am available most days and times for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for pets, and I am committed to providing attentive, dependable care while keeping owners updated and informed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.
“We had such a great experience with Nikki! She was incredibly flexible with our last-minute request, super communicative, and so helpful throughout everything. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with her and would absolutely recommend Nikki to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind!”
About: I’m new on Rover, but over the past 15 years, I have provided dedicated pet sitting services for a wide variety of families, including those living on military bases. This extensive background, combined with owning a high energy Brittany Spaniel and a gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has given me a deep, well rounded understanding of different breed temperaments, strict home care rules, and structured routines. Whether your dog requires high energy exercise, specialized attention, or careful adherence to specific neighborhood boundaries, I bring the experience, trust, and reliability needed to keep your pets safe, happy, and completely at ease. Hi, I'm Daniella! I have a massive love for dogs and bring over 15 years of dedicated pet sitting experience to the table. Throughout the years, I have cared for pets for many different families, including those on military housing. I am also a proud pet parent myself to two wonderful dogs: a high energy Brittany and a sweet, cuddle loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel . Raising two very different breeds has given me firsthand experience managing contrasting energy levels, temperaments, and unique care routines! I believe our pets are truly family, and my top priority is ensuring your pup feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you are away. Because I work with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to dedicate plenty of time and structured care to your dog. Whether they need energetic play sessions, a long walk to explore, or just a cozy spot on the couch to relax, I adapt completely to whatever your pup's routine looks like. When your pup is with me, you can expect regular text updates and plenty of cute photos so you can have total peace of mind! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pup with the exact same vigilance and care that I give my own two dogs. Because I have 15 years of pet sitting experience including caring for pets inside military housing communities I am highly disciplined, respect home rules, and am deeply familiar with maintaining strict safety guidelines and neighborhood boundaries. In My Care & Environment: 📍 Supervised and Secure: Pets under my care are never left unattended in unsecured areas. I am extremely mindful of door safety, ensuring pups are secure before any entryways are opened. 🐾 Tailored to Their Needs: With a high energy Brittany and a gentle Cavalier of my own, I know how to keep energetic dogs safely stimulated and small or sensitive dogs completely protected and relaxed. 📸 Clear Communication: I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive regular check ins, updates, and photo updates so you always know your baby is safe, happy, and thriving. 📋 Strict Adherence to Routines: Whether your pup has specific dietary restrictions, precise medication schedules, or distinct boundary training rules, I follow your instructions down to a T. My goal is to provide a reliable, peaceful, and incredibly safe environment so you can travel with absolute peace of mind!
About: In my family, we’ve had dogs of our own since I was a kid. I have helped walk, feed and bathe the pets of family members and friends for 7+ years now. I love animals and would love to care for your animals! Currently I work a fully remote job as an attorney, which offers flexibility to work for home and care for your pets. I am available 7 days a week for short and long-term jobs with the ability to stop by frequently for walks and potty breaks. I enjoy the outdoors and walking dogs in the quiet pet friendly neighborhood park behind my house. I’m capable of walking dogs on a leash and am careful about how I do so. I follow instructions for feeding and love relaxing and playing with both cats and dogs. I’m also available to stay with your pets in their home environment.
About: I strictly follow your dog’s personal and walking routines to prevent any anxiety, while sending frequent photo updates so you can travel completely worry free. Working from home allows me to easily blend my day with your dog’s needs, offering frequent play and potty breaks and endless cuddles while working. By staying at your place, I minimize your dog’s anxiety. I provide dedicated overnight care, plenty of playtime, and frequent updates so you feel connected.
About: I have owned dogs for my entire life, and have experience training puppies and caring for elderly dogs. I have also babysat or made house visits for other dogs frequently. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. My schedule varies from week to week, but is also quite flexible! Reach out and I will let you know as soon as possible if I’m available! I am willing to adapt to any caretaking rules you may have in place for your dog at your own home (i.e. the rooms they are allowed in, outside time, etc). I can stay with the dog for as long as you need me to as long as there is communication.
About: Reliable, clean and active. I am an absolute animal lover and have been blessed to have watched, walked and cared for many beautiful dogs and cats over the last 15 years. I have good energy and can provide care and love for even the most spunky pets. I am a flight attendant and have extended periods of time off while I'm home. I also have a great deal of flexibility in my schedule and can take time off to accommodate long stays. Love! Play, exercise and attention are a must. Gentle discipline if needed and cleanup. I'm happy to brush and wash the pets as well for an additional fee. Whatever the animal needs I'm happy to give them my full attention.
“Kathleen was wonderful with our dog. I would trust her anytime to watch our dog. She was very kind and responsible. Our dog had a wonderful time and was very happy the whole time. Kathleen sent videos and really put us at ease while we were away. Thank you Kathleen. We are so glad we found you.”
“Jen was the best sitter I could have found for my 115lb. Golden. I knew the day I met her and watched how Charlie reacted with her that she would be the person I could trust to stay with him. It was our first time leaving Charlie with anyone other than family, also it was the longest amount of time we would be gone. She stayed with Charlie for 6 days and 5 nights. Our flights were delayed both going and coming home. Jen was so accommodating, she came earlier than I had booked her for and stayed later at the end. I was completely at ease knowing Charlie was going to be so well cared for, even loved. He's such a creature of habit and Jen followed our routine perfectly. It was obvious from the way he reacted to Jen that he knew she was a good person and a dog lover. My husband and I will feel so much better about going away and leaving our dog, knowing that we will be able to call on Jen again. We were so fortunate to have found her!! Thank you so much Jen!!”
“Brooke housesat our dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was an excellent communicator, sending lots of updates and photos throughout the stay. Our dog Bubbles and cat Mittens absolutely loved her, and she made them feel comfortable and cared for. Brooke is hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend her services to anyone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falmouth
Laurel watched our 4 1/2 year old beagle and house-sat while we were away on an international vacation. This was our first experience on Rover and with someone staying at the house to watch our dog (our previous sitter got a new job). Laurel was amazing! She was very responsive from the beginning and was more than willing to come to the suburbs for a meet and greet. While we were away she took excellent care of our little guy. She took him on plenty of walks, played with him, and sat with him in his favorite spot in the yard. She even left the house in great shape! It was as clean as when we left!! Overall Laurel was a great sitter and we would highly recommend. We will definitely use her again!!
Natasha took gentle and kind care of my 14 year old cat. I was very nervous about leaving him for the first time but she kept me updated with photos and texts of how he was doing. Would definitely have her watch him again if I plan on going out of town. Plus, my kitty really loved her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Falmouth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Falmouth on Rover is $48.14 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 603 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Falmouth. 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 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.
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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falmouth. On Rover:

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.
