About: Hi, my name is Kerry, and I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all ages and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and cats, including pets that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, helping with basic puppy training and routines, feeding, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I understand that every pet is different, and I always try to follow their normal routine so they can feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their family is away. I’m currently working full-time as a pet care professional, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day for dog walks, drop-in visits, and personalized care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine, space, and individual needs. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, attention, and making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“I really cannot come up with enough accolades to express our gratitude for Helena's care of our very senior Doxie, Fenway. Since he's 17+, it is important for us that his caregiver understands senior dogs, which Helena undoubtedly does. She is easy to get to know and is warm and caring. Her communication was frequent and included pictures. She went above and beyond in taking care of our buddy and in maintaining the house. We felt completely at ease leaving Fenway in Helena's excellent care!”
“Panny was great! Joy needs seizure medicine and can get picky about taking her pills. Panny brought cream cheese to tempt her and it worked. He was great with the dogs and left the house was neat when I got home. I would definitely use him again!”

About: i'm great with pets as I've had them my whole life. I love to hang out with them and go outside to play fetch etc. as of now i have no other job so im completely free to give my full undivided attention & support to your furry friends! :) I have a 2yr old super sweet loving golden retriever at home named Winnie & a fenced in backyard where we play and go potty!
About: Back on Rover after a two year hiatus! I currently live with my mother at her house in Cotuit. My house is located in a very safe family oriented neighborhood. I currently have one amazing dog named Smoki (Texas Cattle Dog) who has never met a dog he didnt like! He loves dogs of all sizes and is extremely well tempered. Several parks, trails are nearby and sidewalks line every street. Virtually my entire life growing up I was surrounded by animals (dogs,cats,fish etc) in my house and learned to love and properly take of animals at a young age. My current house is very pet friendly so i would love to take care of your dog/dogs while your away. We have tons of toys, leashes or whatever else you may have forgot to pack. I work from home on the computer doing apprasial work/school so my schedule allows me incredible flexibility. Anything from a Chihuahua to a St. Bernard would be a joy to spend time with. I have experience with almost every size/age of dog so no need to worry! I pay EXTRA attention to detail and have a lot of experience with special care for dogs (oral medicine,special diet,blindness, etc.). Iam up everyday at 6am to run so feel free to contact me at any time. My days revolve around my children or to some people dogs. I spent ten years out in Portland, Oregon and amassed a ton of experience with dogs over that time working for Rover. I would like to bring that experience to the Cape! I’m currently working from home so my schedule is as flexible as it gets. My schedule revolves around exercise and my dog so I’m always up early (6am) and always active. Expect your fur baby to be treated as a member of the family. Be it my home or yours I pride myself in going the extra mile. Everything from toys and treats are in abundance. Expect constant supervision and constant photo updates. My house is extremely safe and pet friendly. I have everything you could ever need to take care of a dog or cat!:)
“I am so grateful to have found Iben. She is a lovely person - easy to talk with and great at communicating, especially about details that I would have otherwise let slip through the cracks. I came home to happy *mellow* dogs which, to me, means they had good attention and plenty of walking with Iben. Can’t wait to travel again in hopes that Iben can stay with these two!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hyannis Port
First time for in my home pet sitting. Cant say enough good things about Jackie. My dog is very anxious and leery with new people. After just 2 days my pup was sleeping under the covers with her. Videos sent of her playing and being so happy put me at total ease. I can honestly say I had no worries with Jackie. Such a great experience having her.
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Hyannis Port is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $52 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 Hyannis Port 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 Port 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 Port 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.
