About: I’ve been taking care of peoples pets since I was 14. I have two golden retrievers, one of which I have had since I was 6, so I am experienced with high energy pups! I also have one cat who is a little prickly so I am experienced with difficult cats. My mom says I have a “way with animals” and I would love to meet yours! I am a recent college grad so my schedule is pretty open as I look for a full time job. I can work weekends and weekdays- day or night! Pets in my care are always guaranteed a fun time! I am energetic and love to play. I always stick to regular feeding and bathroom times to ensure the best care!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and career. I currently manage a veterinary hospital and have experience working alongside both general practice and emergency veterinary teams. As a pet parent to a nervous, reactive dog, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires a little extra patience and understanding, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. Currently working Full time and looking to do this as a side job. I would prefer dogs that are close to me to ensure I can do as many walks as possible. Working in the Vet Med field has taught me how incredibly important safety is. I follow the owner’s instructions to the tee and will put the pets safety as a top priority on all our walks.
“Allyson was absolutely amazing!! She sent me updates every single day multiple times a day which made me so comfortable and able to enjoy my trip! She had to deal with a broken hot water heater and some crazy weather - and was extremely professional and easy to communicate with! I TRULY appreciate Allyson! And HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Sharon was wonderful with watching and bringing our dog to our wedding. She clearly really cares about dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. We felt very comfortable with leaving him in her capable hands. We will certainly have our dog stay with Sharon again when we are back on the cape! We can’t recommend her more! Thank you Sharon!!”

I am great at socialising both cats and dogs quickly, including other kinds of animals. I can walk, feed, take to bathe and socialise your pet. I am great with puppies, adult, and senior dogs & cats (plus others). I love to work with animals experiencing anxieties and rescues. Enjoying time with children and introducing them and teaching how to treat family pet(s). Happy to combine tasks or handle any practical errands. Available early mornings, annd after 11 PM—ideal for your lunch hour— 5 PM to 9 PM so you can enjoy your evening with family. Let me be the room to rush to tend to your fur babies! My favourite walkways are those by grassy areas, where their energy can be matched, letting them enjoy parks, sights, and sounds. DM me to connect. Book now! Playtime is essential for all cognitive types and stimulation. I enjoy playing music for various activities—napping to socialising—and respect clients’ pet-care preferences. I also share updates on experiences and achievements, along with taking high-quality pictures.
“Cecilia took great care of our senior pup for four days/nights, and was excellent in accommodating his rather persnickety dining preferences, e.g., needing to try different foods for every meal. She also took great care of our house, even washing the bedding. Thank you Cecilia - from us and from Melvin!”
About: I am a friendly, professional 43 year old artist and mom. I have been taking care of various dog breeds since I was 10 years old, starting with three feisty Dalmatian puppies who grew into show dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs of my family with various injuries and age disabilities which required heavy lifting and constant care and special diet needs. I am adept in feeding, crate training, walking, playing, health issues. I have been dog walking/sitting for neighbors, friends and family dogs throughout college in Boston, graduate school in Chicago and as and artist in New York City. Most recently my sister and I had a freelance dog walking business based around South Dartmouth, Martha's Vineyard and New Bedford, MA. I am an absolute dog lover--reliable,athletic, attentive, patient, calm under pressure and adaptable in various environments. I am available for long walks for athletic dogs, playing with your pup, devoting attention and care to senior dogs, dog sitting at home, quick jaunts for the day, or anywhere in between! I am a freelance artist living in Hyannis, MA and am very flexible to dog walking or sitting 7 days a week, very early morning throughout the day till evenings. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and feeding as frequently as needed for various dog sizes, ages, and health, exercise and time requirements in a client's home and am very comfortable with any outdoor local environment.
“Taylor was AMAZING with both our kitty and our dog! She sent way better photos than we can ever take ourselves, and made sure our dog got lots of exercise outside. She was very patient with our unsocial kitty too, making sure to give her all the space she needed in order to feel comfortable. We would recommend Taylor to anyone.”
“We had an amazing experience with Susan watching our dog for the weekend. It was our first experience leaving our 7 year old stubborn and spoiled French bulldog with anyone but family. She came to our home for the weekend and took great care of our boy. Sending pictures and texts throughout the weekend made our trip worry free. Highly recommend!!”
“It's been a minute since I used Rover (eight or nine years goes by quick). I had a great Rover sitter out West many years ago when there was no whites on his face, butt, and paws. He was just a black pup then. He walked, ran, and leapt pain-free. 'Mack', like his owner, has just simply gotten older, and is described with whatever adjectives come with the word, 'old' since. Enter Angela. I reached out to her a couple weeks before I was leaving for a week, and she responded promptly. She came to my house a few days later, over the weekend, to meet him. Mack is vocal, overly so at times, and is protective of me, in spite of my attempts to dissuade that behavior, constantly, for 13 years. Get near me, he barks. Just the way it is. Angela gave him a treat here and there while being unwavered and kind to him. He was nipping her heels as I showed her around my place... ...still unwavered and kind. I knew she was the right person, and she took the job which was staying at my house with him for a week. She walked the old man every day, took excellent care of my house (absolutely not asked of her), easily navigated a farmer's dog diet, and fired happy/action pictures of my dog to me every evening. He was definitely loved. He showed his belly in return. He doesn't do that for just anyone. I could tell he was kinda bummed it was me in charge again when I returned. I wanna keep Angela to myself, but it's only fair to recommend her. She's responsible, beyond trustworthy, and truly great with doggies! Highly recommended!”
“Loki was well taken care of and Bridget responded quickly with my questions. She went above and beyond in that I asked her to do a couple of extra things for me which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend her and will use her again in the future if the need arises”

“Olivia did a great job sitting for our dog Huck. He was loved, and walked, and fed - all a dog could ask for! Olivia did a great job communicating with me. I am looking forward to having my go to sitter.”
About: I love all furry friends! I care for many different animals from cats to dogs to rabbits and guinea pigs. I have experience caring for disabled animals, puppies/kittens, and those that require medication and frequent trips outside. I am a full-time pet sitter with my focus primarily in visiting cats, dogs, as well as any other small animals. I am an avid dog walker and often walk several miles a day with my furry friends! I am flexible and very considerate of each individual pets needs. I am also aware of Owner’s needs and little things I can do while I am there to help. For those who go away for a longer periods of time, bringing in mail or little chores is no worry.
“Nikki was awesome as usual! She goes out of her way to communicate and take care of our furry loves. We are lucky to have such a great house/pet sitter. Our pets are always in good hands. Will definitely use Nikki’s services again.”

Kat took wonderful care of Lucie for the weekend while we went to a family wedding. While she was glad to see us when we got home, I have a feeling she got more attention this weekend than we give her! She had lots of walks and belly rubs. Will definitely hire Kat again.
We can’t say enough amazing things about Nicole! She cared for both Teddy and our house for 6 weeks and kept us updated the whole time with so many pictures and videos. We could tell Teddy was so loved and happy! We 10000% recommend Nicole and will definitely be booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hyannis
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hyannis on Rover is $71.91 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 415 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hyannis. 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 Hyannis 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 Hyannis 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 Hyannis 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.

- 97% 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.
