“Lisa is the BEST. I don't think the character limit is long enough to express how wonderful she is. We left on an international trip at a time our pup is also going through some medical things and we only felt okay leaving because we knew Lisa would take such amazing care of him. She keeps in great contact and sends so many cute pictures and videos! Our pup is a high energy guy and she plays with him so much while also making sure he gets enough rest. She was comfortable giving him meds, including having to change a dosage mid-trip. I think our dog was actually a little disappointed it was us coming through the door instead of Lisa. 😂 She is so patient with our pup and all his quirks and we feel so lucky to have found Lisa!”
About: I have been house/pet sitting for a few years now. But aside from that I have a dog and cat of my own! I love hanging out with animals and giving them love and affection. I have loved animals since I was little and have helped take care of my pets since elementary school! I would love to show your animals some love while your away, letting them know they are safe! I am currently unemployed and have a bunch of free time to engage with your animals! I want to include taking care of loving animals into my weekly and/or daily routine! I will walk your dog, play fetch, snuggle and give lots of tummy rubs! I know that your pet will be most comfortable in their safe, familiar environment and want to make sure that your pet is happy!
“Emily was great, and flexible! She made sure everybody was taken care of, gave us updates and pics! Great to be home, and great to know that all of 4-legged kids were loved while we were away ???”
“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!”
“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 labs and 1 cat while we were away on vacation and made sure the house stayed in good working order! Her schedule was flexable enough to house sit Thursday through Sunday which allowed us to travel out of state and the primary reason we went with her. She stayed in constant communication and was swift with her reply! She gave us peace of mind knowing our pets where being well taken care for which allowed us to enjoy our vacation!”
“Sarah was fantastic and I will absolutely request her services again! I was nervous to leave about leaving my dogs for the first time; they are both rescue dogs with separation anxiety and used to a very consistent routine. She took the time to come meet them ahead of time and go over their needs with me. She was very communicative, sent multiple check-ins and photos, and was quick to clarify details if she was unsure about something. They both took to her right away. She was the perfect fill in for "mom" while I was away. Thank you so much! We will definitely reach out again in the future!”
About: I connect with pets in a playful way so they have a fun and enjoyable experience, feel less lonely, and are excited and engaged during their day. I am retired and play pickleball regularly, which leaves me with plenty of time throughout the day to care for your pet while you’re away. I will visit your pet in your home, feed and play with them, give them their meds and keep them company. I will walk your dog so they can explore and engage in their surroundings.
“Mason was so wonderful with our senior dog. He stopped by twice—once for a meet and greet and once the day of the sitting to review the loads of information needed to appropriately care for our dog. Mason communicated multiple times per day, never hesitated to ask a question when needed and always let us know our dog was in safe hands. Our house was left in great condition and we came home to a happy pup. Would highly recommend Mason!”
“Spencer is fantastic! He took excellent care of our dog, Windell. He was responsible, sent pictures every day and did everything he was supposed to do, and the place was in good order when we returned. I would highly recommend Spencer for the care of your pet. Thanks, Spencer!”
About: I have been pet sitting professionally for three years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks and lizards. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes from 130+ lb livestock guardian breeds to 5 lb chihuahuas. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges like resource guarding and anxiety. I have over three years of experience with positive reinforcement training and I am currently working on a certification program to become a horse trainer. I would love to keep up your dog's training while you are gone and work with you to support any current training or management plans. I am patient and I love to work with puppies (and kittens) and adolescent dogs. I have 9 years of experience volunteering at a horse barn. I am comfortable working with horses and other livestock animals. I have experience giving oral medication and all the day to day care a horse requires. I am currently pet sitting full time. My schedule is flexible and I am happy to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Let me know how much alone time your pet is comfortable with. I always follow instructions and management plans to the letter. I don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or clarifications as needed. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority.
About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe and familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.
“Valerie was incredible! We have two spoiled pugs and one of them is not well mannered, barks non stop and has separation anxiety/issues. He is great with his parents but we were very concerned with having someone else watch him for 2 days. She was very patient and understanding of his needs, very punctual and communicative. We got update pictures and texts and the house was left perfectly. Would definitely rebook if we ever had another event we could not have our pups. And absolutely would recommend!! 11/10”

“Adam was great! Very communicative the whole time we were gone, he also came over and met with us (and the animals) prior to the trip-which was amazing as our dog is a bit nervous around strangers. Thank you so much ! Would absolutely hire Adam again.”
“Rachel has been amazing to our Luna! I really appreciate your patience and energy. She has a lot of love for dogs and it really shows. I appreciate her communication and ensuring that our Luna is well taken care of. :)”

Sloane took wonderful care of Ace and Garnet and stayed at my house while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands and comfortable in their own home. I really appreciated her care, reliability, and the attention she gave my dogs. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Keyport is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,328 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Keyport. 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 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.
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 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!
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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Keyport. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
