“Such an amazing experience with Kimberly! We have two large American Bullies, with one being pretty high maintenance and tends to be a little standoffish of strangers. When she did the meet and greet with our dogs they were instantly enamored with her. Kimberly stayed at our home with our pups while we were away for five days and I felt so at ease knowing she was there. We will be using her again for future trips!”

About: 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 Hi, I'm Kiley! I am a former communications officer with the Fredericksburg Police Department who turned a lifelong passion into opening my own home bakery, The Giving Treat. My entire pet care focus is dedicated to providing premium, attentive care exactly where your pets are most comfortable: right in their own home. Whether it's an energetic neighborhood walk, a midday drop-in, or overnight house sitting, I bring a high level of professionalism, reliability, and detail-oriented care to your pet's familiar routine. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐞? I believe pet care should be a stress-free, premium experience for both you and your furry family members. When you book with me, you aren’t just getting someone to check a box, you’re getting a dedicated caretaker who treats your home and pets with the utmost respect. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 *𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞*: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔: You will receive frequent, bright, high-quality photo updates during our time together so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 𝑨 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝑲𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔𝒂𝒌𝒆: At the end of my time with your pet, I print out one of our best photos, turn it into a custom magnet, and leave it on your fridge as a permanent keepsake. 𝑨 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌-𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕: Along with a handwritten wrap-up note, I always leave a complimentary fresh-baked treat from my bakery for you to enjoy when you get home! 𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝑴𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 & 𝑺𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆: Leaving a senior or medically fragile pet can be incredibly stressful, but your furry family member is in safe, experienced hands with me. I am highly comfortable administering medications, managing strict veterinary schedules, and navigating specialized care. My personal and professional experience includes managing **feline diabetes**, tracking **strict prescription urinary diets**, and caring for sweet cats with **Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH)**. 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒔 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆: As a dedicated cat parent to four rescues of my own, I speak "fluent feline." I understand how to read cat body language, handle complex weight-management schedules, and give them the exact space, pacing, or affection they need on their own terms. 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝑫𝒐𝒈 𝑾𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈: I have years of experience walking dogs of various sizes and energy levels, keeping them safe, engaged, and thoroughly exercised. 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 & 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕: My background in local law enforcement communications means I take home security, clear communication, and emergency preparedness incredibly seriously. Your keys, codes, and home are entirely safe in my hands. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet. I operate a small cottage bakery full-time, which gives me excellent flexibility throughout the week! My primary baking days are Thursdays and Fridays. Outside of those specific baking windows, my schedule is completely open and flexible for midday walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of focused attention for your pets on weekends and early-to-mid-week days. Because I run an active home kitchen, I provide care exclusively in your pet's familiar, comfortable home environment. My background in local law enforcement communications means I prioritize home security, strict adherence to instruction, and safety above all else. Your keys, home access codes, and pet safety are handled with the highest level of professional responsibility. I treat your space with complete respect while ensuring your pets remain safe, happy, and relaxed.

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs. When it comes to dogs, I've had big dogs, small dogs, and even once took care of 3 dogs for ½ weeks (specifically 3 huskies for ½ weeks). As for cats, they've been a part of my life since I was 3 years old. I've raised cats from kittens to super seniors and even helped treat their ailments throughout the years. I'm currently a full time online student, so I spend most of my time at home working. This leaves me with a lot of free time during the week and weekend. I try to spend as much time as possible with my pets while home and play with them as well. I also make sure to pay attention to their health and behavior as well and do research on things that are abnormal.

About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.

“This was our first time using someone outside of the family to watch our 13 year old dog. We needed someone who could stay at our house while we were gone because our dog wouldn't do well in a kennel type of environment. We were told about Rover by a friend and when I looked, I saw Warren's 5 star reviews. We had him come by and meet our dog and see if it he would be able to provide the care that our dog needed. Afterwards, we were convinced that Warren was the right one for the job. During our trip we were sent pictures of our dog and updates. After our return, we found that our dog was doing well and we were more than satisfied with the job that Warren had done. We would definitely recommend Warren to anyone in our area looking for a sitter, and we will definitely use him again when needed in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am caring, patient, and responsible. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need. I am happy to follow each pet’s routine, provide extra attention, and give updates to pet parents while they are away. I am also willing to work with puppies who are learning routines and basic training, as well as provide gentle, patient care for senior pets. My goal is to treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a structured weekly routine that allows me to balance school, work, and my personal responsibilities. I can plan pet care around my schedule and make time to give pets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I am responsible, dependable, and willing to communicate with pet owners to make sure their pets are well cared for while they are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home\. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other special needs\. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their space clean and safe\. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I am patient and take the time to help them feel comfortable with me\. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Thanks for trusting me with your best fur friend! I'm currently working PT and obtaining my yoga teacher training course so I have plenty of open availability for services whether thats dog walking or sitting. I have a fenced in yard where my own dog Cosmo plays and can certainly crate your dog if needed. I am also available for dog sitting and am comfortable with any home set up.

About: I have two dogs of my own that have taught me so much. Both of mine have reactive tendencies, so I am no stranger to dogs that need a little extra patience. I have spent many hours in training with my pups, so if you’re looking for someone to help reinforce some skills at home, I can do that! One of my dogs is also epileptic, so I have experience with complex medical needs as well. I have spent the past few months volunteering at a local dog shelter twice a week and I have genuinely loved spending time with the dogs and getting to know them and watch them blossom and find furever homes. I’m looking forward to spending even more time with some incredible furry friends! I currently do not work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m open to one time sits/walks or something recurring! Overnights are not currently an option for me as I have my own pups to care for. I am looking for jobs at your home (or out an about); I do not offer in-my-home care at this time. But I can come over and spend time with your pet(s) while you’re at work or on date-night, stop in for walks or feeds/potty breaks, or take your dog on an outing like a hike or a trip to downtown! I’m flexible and open to whatever you and your pet need.

About: Looking for someone who will give your dog more than just a quick walk around the block? Hi, my name is Erin, and I am a dog mom to a german shepard mix named Max! I'm an active, reliable dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and giving them the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I've been a dog owner for 5 years and have spent more than 15 years around dogs of all sizes. Over that time, I've developed a genuine love for dogs and a strong appreciation for how different every dog's personality, energy level, and needs can be. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and love the opportunity to give them the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. I'm also a runner who trains for races year-round, so I genuinely enjoy being active. If your dog is happiest after a longer walk or has plenty of energy to burn, we're likely to be a great match. Whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll with plenty of sniffing or a longer, more active walk, I’ll tailor the experience to their individual needs. I understand that your dog is family, and I believe they should be treated with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. Every dog has their own personality, routine, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions so their time with me feels comfortable and familiar. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Whether you need a reliable walking buddy, someone to give your pup some extra attention during the day, or simply a caring person you can trust, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Reliable evening & weekend pet care for busy local families. As I transition into pet care, I look forward to gradually expanding my availability for mid-day walks and visits. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walking, medications, bathroom breaks, crates, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits, so you know your pet is happy and safe.

Cheyenne watched our dog Luna in our home while we were away, and she took excellent care of Luna. She sent tons of pictures and extremely detailed updates of Luna’s days. She sent the updates as frequently as we had agreed upon, and she made sure to send them at predictable times each day. She went above and beyond in the care she provided for Luna, including taking her for extra walks. She made sure to enforce the rules we have for our dog and she left our home spotless. We can’t recommend Cheyenne enough, and will absolutely be booking her again the next time we need pet care. She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve had.

FAQs for House Sitting - Falmouth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Falmouth is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $173 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 October 2026, there are 1,366 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.

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 .
