“An absolute gem! Lilly was so great with my really high energy rottweiler. She sent me constant updates and photos. She left my house very neat and tidy. It was nice to come home to my happy dog and clean house.”
“Alma did a wonderful job taking care of our fur babies. She was on time to check on them and feed them. And let them out for their potty breaks. Definitely would use her again. Highly recommend Frankie & Kahula say Thank you 🐾🐾 until next time.”
“Great experience with Rene! He watched Karma in my home while I was away in Reno, followed all directions, communicated great, and took excellent care of him — all at a very reasonable price. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy — highly recommend!”
“Ava was very communicative and graciously stayed overnight to hang with my pups. She checked in and sent pictures of their time while I was away. Many thanks to her and would rebook.”
“Karyna did such a fantastic job with my finicky, elderly little doggie. She was so tentative to him and all his needs. Great communication, updates and accommodation. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such good loving hands.”
“We had an amazing experience with Keishla and can’t recommend her enough. She went above and beyond caring for our cat and our home, and her thoughtful updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a house in perfect shape. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to watch your pet, book with Keishla without hesitation. We are already planning on having her back again!”
“Kerstin stayed at my house to babysit my dog over this past weekend. She was super easy to communicate with and sent tons of pics. We appreciated her help so much!”
“Alayna is incredible. I have two very anxious dogs and Alayna is the only one outside of our family that she trusts. She sends regular updates, makes sure to follow all of our instructions, and left our house looking better than when we left it.”
“Brandon did a great job watching Tito! He was reliable and attentive, and Tito really liked him right away. I felt totally at ease and would definitely trust him again. Highly recommend!”
“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”
About: Over the past 4 years, I’ve cared for several dogs for friends, family, and referrals, gaining hands, on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining a calm, structured environment. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and communication, I provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m patient and attentive, which works especially well with shy dogs, puppies who need consistency, and older dogs who need a gentler approach. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine, which means I’m always at home to give pets attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I have a very flexible and stable schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship consistently. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Brussels Griffon mix who loves other dogs and enjoys having playmates. My home is calm, welcoming, and set up for pets to feel comfortable and safe. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs. In my home, pets are supervised throughout the day. The environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly. I also provide regular updates and make sure each pet feels secure and well cared for.
“Dustin took great care of our dog over 4th of July weekend, which is always tough for our little guy. Like many dogs, the fireworks really scare him. It was so relieving to know our pup was in good hands. We sincerely appreciate it!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and spent the past year interning at Front Street Animal Shelter, where I gained hands on experience caring for dogs and learning more about animal behavior, safety, and daily care routines. During my internship, I worked with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, which helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I have an extremely flexible schedule. This allows me to be available from mornings through late afternoons on most days, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. I always follow the owner's instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and secure at all times. My experience at an animal shelter has taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in different situations, and create a low-stress environment for pets of all personalities. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to build trust with both pets and their owners through reliable, attentive care.
“Our dogs Brenda and Mickey were in great care with Maria. When they go to a boarding facility, they are stressed and lose weight. Luckily, they were able to stay home and Maria gave them the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while we were gone. I definitely recommend Maria!”
About: Animals have always been my people. 🐾 I've spent over 20 years as a devoted pet owner, including my two wonderful Australian Shepherds. I am so grateful to have had them in my life to love and spoil! Ella and Maddie were well traveled too, even visiting the Grand Canyon and Yosemite! All my friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets and homes while they are away and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Early in my career, I spent five years as a Pet Care Manager at PetSmart, caring daily for all the animals, keeping them healthy and happy until we helped pair them with their forever homes. I'm very experienced with all levels of pet care, including special needs that require medications, injections, complex dietary routines, and reinforcing training. I am ready to handle whatever your pet needs, especially extra play time and cuddles. I am equally obsessed with all dogs and cats, and care for all breeds, sizes, and ages, from puppies and kittens through their senior years. I’m also experienced caring for birds, fish, reptiles, and small pets. 🐱🐰🐠 🐦🦎 I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so your babies get my attention all day!

You let me know what your fur baby needs and I have it handled! They will get my all my attention, cuddles, and play time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Freeport
Lilly was a tremendous help to us when we went to Japan for 2.5 weeks! Our little senior Jack Russell is a little high anxiety and sometimes doesn't do too well at the dog hotel if left for too long. Thus, we were in search of a house sitter and Lilly came through for us. She updated us with pics while we were away and helped inform us of how Henry was doing during the 4th of July and all. We were very happy she could help us out and we will use her again whenever we are gone for another long trip!
Brandon was great! From the minute he introduced himself, Max treated him like he belonged there. Brandon knew what Max was doing when he pushed himsef through his legs and grabbed his wrist to take him somewhere. The dogs were relaxed when I came home, unlike their visit to the doggie hotel. Brandon is polite and responsible. I will reach out to him again when I travel.
Sarah is incredible and if you have the chance to book her, you will not regret it! She’s beyond reliable and absolutely understands pets and pet care. I’ve never felt as confident with a pet sitter as I do with her. Whether it’s house sitting or drop-ins, she goes above and beyond. If you’re wondering if she’s the right fit— just book it! You won’t find better!
Susan was absolutely amazing! She is loving, professional, extremely trustworthy, and respectful. Our dog Sadie and our cat Lily fell in love with her immediately. It was obvious from all the photos she sent us while we were gone. She has become a friend to both my husband and I, and of course Sadie and Lily.
Madelyn took wonderful care of our dog Tucker, knowing that our dog was in such good care gave me peace of mind while on my trip. I loved the picture updates and check in’s I knew Tucker was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Madelyn, she is kind, caring and attentive to pets. We look forward to having her dog sit again. Thank you!
Spencer is amazing! He went above and beyond my expectations! I am always a little nervous when I leave my dogs. However, they actually had a better time with Spencer! He spoiled them with numerous walks and cuddles😁They definetly had the best treatment I could have asked for❤️Leo and Kodi will be happy when I go out of town again! If your reading reviews read no further-Spencer is the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Freeport on Rover is $48.15 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 2,867 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Freeport. 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 Freeport. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
