“Dennis was a fantastic sitter. Excellent and regular communication, and he demonstrated real care for our dogs. He was flexible and easy to work with, and the dogs loved him. We will definitely use Dennis again!”
“Hallie is a senior lab very attached to me so can be challenging to sit for in my absence. Even though Chloe just met her, I was very pleased to return home to a happy and healthy girl who obviously did just fine and must have enjoyed her time with Chloe.”
“Lauren arrived right ok time, asked questions about Heath’s routine, and sent me updates and pictures throughout the night. Heath is a little shy at first but you could tell he got over it by the cute pictures Lauren shared.”
About: I had previous experience with working in a doggy day care for about 5 years. The last 3 years i have been a veterinary technician assistant, assisting with animals of all sizes! I currently do work full time. I could probably fit in an evening walk, let’s chat about it! I am free to do the weekends. I have a lot of animals! I have 3 dogs( 2 are large and ones small), and 5 cats! All of my cats are indoor only, they have 3 cat trees and several liter boxes for them. I live on 2.5 acres and my dogs have really good recall, we don’t have any issues with the big ones running off, (the little one sometimes does but only if you arnt watching, which means I’m always watching). I have a pond and couldn’t let it go to waste so i added ducks and geese! One of my cats gets medication, two of my dogs gets medication as well. I trim all my cats nails, one of them i have my husband hold for me because it’s not his favorite thing in the world. I trim all my dogs nails. My little dog gets bathed every 3 weeks (he has really bad allergies). I’m really open to getting to know any animal!
“Autumn is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever booked! She was very communicative, handled each dog perfectly despite their individual quirks and overall made me feel so much better about going on vacation! I absolutely recommend Autumn to look after and love your animals!”
About: Since I was a child my family has had pets in the home. When I was 9 my sister and I collaborated to earn ourselves a kitten and since then pet care has been an important part of my life both the cuddly and the smelly. Most of my experience is with cats, I have one myself who is a total sweetheart once she gets comfortable. I’ve watched over and managed multiple cat households, senior cats, outdoor cats, and cats that have required oral medication. I also have experience watching over dogs, taking them out when needed, playing with them to help tire them out. I am comfortable walking dogs big and small, I am not professionally trained but know I can hold my own when needed. I’m currently between jobs so have plenty of time to care for your pets! Available all hours of the day and night, and I can be flexible with new jobs or cancellations. I have experience house sitting so I understand that it’s often about more than just taking care of your pets but also ensuring that your home is safe and well kept. People I’ve sit for can attest that I do my best to ensure everything is in its place and to make the space at least as clean as it was originally.
About: I’m an avid dog watcher for family and friends, and an avid cat owner who has experience with many cat personalities! I’ve cared for senior dogs and cats, and young ones as well. Each pet is unique and I love to get to learn their quirks and develop a friendship with each and every one. I currently work part time, anywhere from 6-8 hours a day with a maximum of 4-5 days a week. My schedule is very flexible and often local so that I can devote as much time as possible to taking care of fur babies! I make it a point to be very thorough and respectful when in other people’s homes, I am sure to treat pets like I would if they were my own!
About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had fur babies my whole life often had others babies in my home as well. Animals are family and are treated as such I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to love and play with your babes. Will treat them as if they are mine they are my own. I have a little pug to keep your babe company and will follow whatever rules you have set in place. I will kennel them if that's your preference.
“This was our second time booking Valerie for an extended stay and we couldn’t be happier! She takes such great care of Lasso and cares for him like he’s her own pup. She’s the best!!”
About: I've taken care of animals all throughout my life and have worked with and in shelters for the past 4 years. I have plenty of experience with a variety of breeds, from Chihuahua to Mastiff. With a variety of experience in average, senior, and medicinal care, I'm happy to accommodate for you and your pet's needs, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I can walk and board all week days and weekend days. I am available for in-home/housesitting care from Thursdays-Mondays. I work full-time but am afforded a flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out about your specific needs! I have 2 of my own cats that are as sweet as can be and would love the chance to meet new friends, if you and your pet are up for it. Otherwise, I have a custom "cat city" room and an outdoor patio and backyard for fur friends to get plenty of privacy (with supervision of course!) if they need it.
About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.
“Dawn was absolutely amazing! She was such a God send! We had never left our dog and cat with anyone but family and friends and she took such good care of our pets. We got photos and videos every day of all the walks she went on with our dog and the fun times she had playing with our cat. It calmed my nerves to know what good care they were in. She additionally went above and beyond to ensure that our cat’s litter box was thoroughly cleaned, brought probiotic treats for our cat that had just started on that diet and took our extremely active golden out on 3-4 walks every day (even late at night when temperatures finally cooled off). I would highly recommend Dawn and already have plans to have her stay at our house again and take care of our pets soon! You will love Dawn! She will love your pets as if they are her own.”
About: I grew up with every sort of animal imaginable, and I'm always happy to spend time with all the cats, dogs, birds, and other critters out there when I have the chance. I have extensive experience caring for animals all over the world including off-grid, remote, and city environments. I am semi-retired and location independent. My schedule is highly flexible, and I'm happy to work with pet parents on making mutually agreeable pet care schedules. I am happy to stay with pets in their own homes to ensure that they get the care and attention to which they are accustomed.

Katherine took care of my rescue, Jasper for 4 weeks, spending a lot of time at my house, taking Jasper for walks in the park and playing in the yard (Bonus: she also kept my indoor plants alive). On my return, house was great, Jasper was happy and healthy, no issues. What more can you ask for?
If you like a low key, easy going, kind dog sitter who responds promptly if you text but also understands you're on vacation { and supposed to be taking a break from loving animal care ;-) } Lizeth is your girl. She's competent, caring, trustworthy and handles our old girl with ease while also wrangling the younger big guy. We lucked out! THANK YOU LIZETH for being awesome, reliable, and totally competent to handle all the things! ~ The Millikan Pack
Luna was an outstanding pet/house sitter. My situation was kind of unique as our house has been slowly inching towards the end of a major remodel. Luna was flexible and understanding with the people coming and going. She is a great communicator and made sure to check in often. Lots of pics of the dogs kept me from feeling anxious about having a stranger come stay in our house. Everything was perfect when we returned home and I would 100% book Luna again!

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 Keyport 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 Keyport 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Keyport 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!

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.
