“Sophia was awesome...She watched Bettis for a few days and his experience with her could not have gone better. We would absolutely use her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone.”
“Sergey was terrific! He came by to meet our dog before the pet sitting appointment and was very patient and caring. He was on time and dependable. If we visit Portland again we will definitely ask for him to pet sit our dog again.”
“Jamie was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pete, over the Christmas holiday. Not only was she great with Pete, but she also navigated a big snow storm and power outage with ease. We felt so at ease knowing that she was holding down the fort when we were out of state. She is a great communicator, left the house in immaculate condition, and even gave Pete a handmade Christmas stocking! We'd love to have her back.”
“We would absolutely book Kayla again! She was incredibly communicative throughout, and from the photos she sent, it was clear our dog was happy and comfortable with her—his wagging tail said it all. Since he's not typically used to being around others, we were thrilled with how well he settled in. Kayla was also very accommodating to all of our requests. Thank you, Kayla!”
“Renee was great, checking in with questions when needed. One of my dogs is more needy and she let me know so I could offer suggestions. I've invited her to come back and she said yes, so that's a good sign!”
“Madeleine was great! She communicated with me while I was gone about my dog and daily activities. She also left the house spotless and washed the sheets and towels. I will definitely use her again to watch my dog and house sit:)”
“I highly recommend John! He asked questions to clarify my dogs needs, sent regular updates and even shared photos. His attentiveness allowed me to enjoy my few days out of town without worrying about my 2 senior dogs.”
“Laurel was so amazing with our sweet and nervous pup, Pepita! Pepita has stranger danger so will bark until she cools down. Laurel was very patient, understanding and reassuring. She also sent updates during the evening, which we appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Sparrow was great. They were very attentive to Lilly and Brynn and showed them tons of love. They took time to understand and adhere to Lilly’s strict medication schedule which is critical to her care. They sent plenty of updates to let us know our girls were being cared for and happy. Lilly and Brynn are looking forward to spending more time with their new friend!”
“Sarah was excellent at taking care of Sesame and Bob. I felt at ease knowing they were under her care while I was away. She gave constant updates and took photos of the dogs so that I know they were doing good. Thanks so much for taking good care of them!”
“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Returned home after a weekend away to two very happy, well cared for dogs. Celine provides multiple updates per day, sending cute pics and videos of our pups playing. Very grateful for Céline!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Whether it is taking care of my own dogs or my neighbors I am an avid animal lover. Dogs bring me so much happiness and I love being able to give animals the love they deserve! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to do walks and play with your dogs. I am willing to pick up random chefs and I’m more than happy to take care of one or more dogs. I always make sure to have eyes on the dog(s) and I love finding fun activities to do with the dogs. Whether it is a hike or an enrichment activity I truly value all the time I get to spend with dogs. I make sure to follow all rules regarding dogs in and out of the house.
“Brook is AMAZING! Super sweet, great communication and she took the BEST care of my sweet kitty Lily, who loved her! Brook will be our go-to from now on — so grateful to her!”
“I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.”
“Shirley is the best! She took wonderful care of George, was an excellent communicator, navigated some crazy windstorms, tended to my old boy like her was her own and left the house immaculate!! I would highly recommend Shirley and am very blessed to have found her.”
“Lynne was amazing! She stayed at our house in July while we were traveling for a week. This was the first time for us to leave our puppy overnight, so needless to say, we were a bit worried about how our 13-month-old pup would do without us. Lynne immediately put both the dog and us at ease. Throughout the week, she sent us pictures and quick updates. We met up with Lynne again a few days after our trip and the dog was super happy to see her. We will definitely reach out to her again when we need somebody to watch our dog.”
“Samantha was incredible! She was so wonderful with the animals, flexible when plans changed and we needed to adapt, and so kind, responsible, and a great communicator and pet photographer 😂❤️ We are so thankful and grateful for her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falmouth
Gwen took care of our senior babies for a few overnights. They were very calm and contented when we got home.🥰 Gwen has a large dog just like ours and Nahla was all over her from the very first minute. Alphie, our king of the house cat came looking for lovins soon after. Gwen didn't blink when Alphie came down with a cold a few days before we left and thus needed twice daily meds. We are so grateful we found Gwen.
Hope did so well with our cat! I’m so glad that we came across her. Hope communicated well, sent lots of pictures and updates, brought in some mail for us, and made sure our cat was well taken care of. You can tell that she “gets” cats. It was clear that our cat felt comfortable and at ease with her, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away! We would definitely hire Hope to stay with our cat again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Falmouth on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 677 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:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
