“My old dog is hesitant when meeting new people, but with Sierra she seemed at ease quicker. Sierra was great with trying to get her to eat and take her pills as well as having to clean up some accidents. I appreciate the care Sierra took of my Diane.”
About: Hi! My name is Madison. I’ve had pets my entire life. I know how to care for pets and you can trust me to take care of your amazing animals, whether it’s walks or just giving some quality snuggles! I’m always excited for a new opportunity to get to meet new dogs. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member and loving them like they’re my own! I am a nurse so I work 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time for your furry friends. I am available for walks, boarding, and at home visits. You name it and I’ll do my best to make it happen!
“Emma was such a breath of relief for staying at our home and taking care of our 3 dogs. She took them for walks which is a feat in itself as they all have different leash personalities. She kept us posted when one broke a toe nail and it bled some. She even went the extra mile when our flights were delayed due to the government shutdown to make sure they had their potty break. We will definitely being using Emma again in the future.”
“Olivia was great with both of our dogs. She kept us well informed and the dogs were happy when we returned home. Olivia stayed overnight and was super responsible and respectful of our home. We highly recommend Olivia and will certainly reach out in the future!”
“Do not hesitate to book with Madison! She is super communicative and sends regular photos & updates during her stay. I used her for house sitting while I was out of town on business. She kept my mind at ease that my old fur baby was being super well taken care of and I only have Madison to thank!”
“Megan was great! Super sweet and our pups just loved her. Recieved updates throughout her stay to help us feel more at ease. We would recommend her to anyone who needs services!!!”
“Very punctual, communication and timing were excellent and above all else my pup absolutely Loved Gavin! Highly recommend using Gavin for walks/out of town trips requiring a sitter!”
“Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She agreed to watch our pets on short notice. She was amazing with our two cats and dog. We highly recommend Stephanie and would definitely ask her again if she would keep an eye on our pets. A+++”
“Abby has done it again! She provided outstanding care for our dogs and cats while we were away for 5 days. Just like before, we returned to happy pets and a spotless home. It’s clear Abby is a natural with animals and she treats them like her own. She’s an excellent communicator and sends regular pictures, videos and update’s. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a reliable, caring pet sitter. Can’t recommend Abby enough!”
“Alissa is fantastic! She took such good care of our pups while we were away for the week. This was the first time we ever used Rover and were nervous but she was great to communicate with, sent us updates and pictures, and extra tidied up our house before heading out. We did a meet and greet prior to the trip for everyone to meet and to explain the basics for the care of our dogs. All in all the whole process went smoothly and I'm so glad we booked Alissa! Will def book her for future trips.”
About: Ive had dogs my entire life. I trained my puppy and adore all dog breeds. I love playing with dogs to wear them out and walking them to get exercise. I currently work 10 hours a week researching so i bace an incredibly flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and plenty of space and time for your pets. I love walking dogs as part of my daily exercise. Pet needs come first. Every pet and owner is different so I will accommodate for each pet. The environment and pet dictate how I go about my rountine and care. I will care for the pet as if they are my own and wont even realize their pet owner is gone!
About: I have been around animals all my life. We raised our children with dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and even butterflies! I love animals and often care for family and friends whose pets need care. I have worked in New York, Arizona, and now North Carolina caring for these precious pets! I believe deeply that these fur babies are intuitive, intelligent, and capable of giving and receiving love. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. My day revolves around the needs of the pets I care for. I manage our rentals on our property so I am always close by! The pets I care for are free to roam around and explore inside our home. We have a back deck and open backyard. We back up to a nature preserve so there are walking trails and lots of places for exercise. Our neighborhood is quiet and well established. There are many dogs walking throughout in the morning and evening with their owners!
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“Raechel did a really good job with our boys. She stayed at our house and cared for our two golden retrievers ( one 4 years old and the other 6 months) for 3 nights. From the moment she walked in the house our boys loved her. She was very communicative leading up to watching them and sent good updates.”
About: I offer dog walking, potty breaks, and playtime as well as house sitting. I love being outside. I have had dogs and cats all of my life and I am very responsible and compassionate. I treat all pets as if they are my family. If you have a high energy dog I can definitely handle him/her and wear him out! I can also care for cats, fish, rabbits, etc. (no snakes please!) I can bring in mail, take trash cans to and from the curb on trash days, water plants, you name it! Message me for details!! I enjoy walking dogs and letting them out to use the bathroom first thing each morning. If they require constant care I can do that or if they’re fine to do their own thing I can also leave them to that. I prefer caring for pets in the pets home. This is more comfortable for them anyways. Doggy anxiety is a real thing! And when their family is out of town, it’s best to keep them in their own comfortable environment.
About: I have two Australian Shepherds at home that I miss while being away at college, so I love any chance to spend time with dogs. I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for them, including walks, feeding, and daily attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a busy schedule, but I make time for pet care and am available on weekends and select weekdays. I also work part-time, but I’m reliable with scheduling and communication. I’ll have increased availability over the summer and can be more flexible then. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to send updates while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart isn't just a love for dogs — it's a lifetime of it. I raised my own dog for 13 years, through every stage of her life, and recently said goodbye to her. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and the kind of deep care that only comes from truly bonding with an animal. When your dog is in my hands, they're not just being watched — they're being loved. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home, which means dogs in my care are never left alone for long. My apartment complex has a dog park right on-site, making it easy to give pups plenty of fresh air, exercise, and socialization throughout the day. Having raised my own dog for 13 years, structure and daily care come naturally to me. I treat every pet in my care as my own. My home is a calm, safe, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each dog's individual personality and needs, and I always keep owners updated with regular check-ins. After 13 years of raising my own dog, I know how important trust and communication are for pet owners leaving their fur baby in someone else's hands.

Elizabeth was a great sitter - her calm, friendly personality was a perfect fit for our pup! We appreciated her reliability and communication throughout the process. We returned to a happy pup and a tidy house. We'd recommend her to others - Thank you, Elizabeth!
Alexandra was a life saver! We were already out of town when the previous sitter became ill and had to leave. Alexandra took over seamlessly and made the transition for our Scout nice and smooth! She was great at communicating and sending pics! We will definitely use her again!! Highly recommend her!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hampstead
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hampstead on Rover is $38.12 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 787 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hampstead. 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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead 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.
