“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!”
About: Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.
“Danyel took care of our 2 y/o juvenile Golden. He’s big and bouncy and she managed him well. She took him for daily walks. She may have spoiled him a little but he was well loved while we were gone. She sent us updates several times a day with photos, which was like a dopamine hit for us every day. The house was as clean as we left it when we got home. We’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats almost my entire life. I pet sit for family members. I am active, mature, retired (so very flexible), and love walking and playing with dogs. I am a young retiree who is a dog lover. My long-time companion, Katie, recently passed and I am looking to fill my void without being tied down full time. I am available frequently and would love repeat clients. When I am caring for your family member, that is all I am doing during my time with them. I am active and enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. I am a mature professional woman who respects other's space and I am very reliable.
“Jenna had her hands full with my two pups for sure! She did a fantastic job taking care of them and was super responsive with sending me updates and pictures each day. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Claudia was EXCELLENT! She was on time, friendly, and sooo good with our old dog and our new puppy! We will definitely book her in the future. Hire her if you want to feel self assured that your pets and house are taken the best care of while you are away.”
About: Use this link to get $40 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/kenedp97536. I’ve been caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog from a puppy to now over 8 years old. I also have experience dog and cat sitting, including overnight stays. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with following feeding schedules, administering medications, and caring for both dogs and cats. I’m reliable, flexible, trustworthy, and a quick learner who will always treat your pets like they’re my own. My availability varies slightly from week to week since I work part-time, but I have plenty of flexibility and gaps in my schedule for pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Feel free to reach out, I’m happy to see if I can accommodate your pet’s needs! I care for every pet according to their individual needs and routine. I make sure they’re fed the proper amount on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive any medications as needed, and, most importantly, feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets.
“Great communication with us and sending pictures. We were at ease knowing my babies were taken care of. My hyper anxiety dog took right to her so did my unsocial cat. That says a lot.”
“We love Alayna taking care of our dogs when we go away. She took care of Furla’s medications, cooked veggies for our dogs and kept our house clean. We will definitely book her again 🫶”
“Olivia was great! This was my first time using a dog sitter, I have only ever boarded them. She was very patient with me and kept me updated with photos. My dogs were happy to see me when I came home and more relaxed than they have been in anyone else’s care.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals, dogs, cats chickens, even pet rats and pet snakes! A favorite activity of mine a has always been taking our family dogs out for a run. I’ve had lots of experience with puppies and large breed dogs like Rottweilers and German shepherds. If you would like to schedule me for a run with your dog, Please specify that in your message. I’d like to know a little about your pup and the area that you live before I accept a run. I currently have a flexible job so I’d love to work your dogs walk or run into my routine. I love to run so if I can bring a dog with me to hit my miles and burn their energy, its a win! Mornings or evenings are my favorite time to run, while being careful of pavement heat and making sure the dog is happy and healthy. But I’m available some middays for check ins! My dog loves routine, so we have ours down. I’m happy to follow whatever your routine for your pet is, so that they are happy and comfortable!
“We are very thankful for Matt house and pet sitting during our vacation. It was a 10 day trip and its good to have peace of mind that someone like Matti is caring for our two pets. Taking out dog Bruno to the dog park was great for a high energy pup. We will definitely book him again!”
“Holly has watched our pets multiple times— she’s always thoughtful and communicative, and we leave town knowing with certainty that our pets are in amazing hands. When Holly sends photos or videos of our cats, they’re always at ease and doing their favorite activities (playing with their toys, making biscuits, and just generally having a great time.) Thank you so much for another great visit, Holly!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Natalie! From the very beginning, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. She took the time to understand our dog’s routine, preferences, and quirks, which immediately put us at ease. During the stay, we received regular updates, including photos and messages, which made it so much easier to be away. When we returned, our dog was relaxed and content, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter!”
“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”
About: I have been taking care of animals pretty much all my life. I am an animal lover, especially good at caring for senior animals and those with special needs. I have recently left teaching and currently I work part time and can make my own schedule. I sometimes care for my granddaughter during the week, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I will care for your pets in your home where they are comfortable. I will tend to their needs, we will play and bind and have a wonderful time and you will be able to enjoy your time away without having to worry about them.
“Pedro went above and beyond our expectations. Our senior dog has had some recent health challenges and he was able to navigate through them very effectively. Definitely will be trusting Pedro again to care for our babies.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Freeport
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.
Amanda was AMAZING house sitting and watching my dogs! She was extremely communicative, and sent updates photos/videos throughout the day. I could tell in the photos now much my dogs loved hanging out with her! Thank you again Amanda! Would definitely work with her again!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Freeport is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $74 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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.
