“Cat is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She was fantastic with Nox and looked after my girl as if she were her very own. Throughout her stay, Cat kept my mind completely at ease by sending regular updates and the perfect amount of pictures / videos. It is incredibly clear that this isn't just a job for her—she genuinely loves what she does and has a true passion for animals. I felt so comfortable knowing Nox was safe, happy, and showered with affection. I cannot recommend Cat highly enough and will definitely be booking her again!!”

About: i’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a little girl. I helped my mom out every day with our two dogs that I have in my house and I help my grandpa out with his dog as well. I used to have 100-140 pound Pitbull‘s so I am able to work with big dogs as well. One of my dogs at home is blind, so I do take extra care of him and I am able to work with dogs that need a little extra care I am currently attending college at stony brook university. I am looking for a job to keep me busy but manageable with classes. I am also missing my dogs back at home so I would love to be able to tend to other peoples dogs!! I am available every day of the week, the hours do differ each day depending on my classes that day! I have 2 dogs at home. One of them is blind so i do have to take extra care of him. I take my dogs on daily walks/runs. I also pet sit for my families and friends. My other do at home is very hyper and needs a lot of exercise and I tend to be the one in my family who takes her out and plays with her.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner wth personal experience raising puppies, caring for adopted senior dogs, and supporting pets with various health conditions. I have been pet sitting for over a decade and have two years of managerial experience in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified and hold two levels of professional pet boarding certification through the Professional Pet Boarding Association. I also have additional experience in animal care and wildlife rehabilitation. Through my professional background, I have experienced caring for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, managing various health conditions, and safely administering medications. I would love to provide that priceless peace of mind for your fur babies! Animals are the heart of my everyday life. My mornings start with caring for my three dogs and letting my chickens out for some morning free-ranging while I clean their coop. Afterwards, I follow the schedule that I thoughtfully planned the night before, making sure that I have plenty of time between visits and travel so each animal receives the attention and care they deserve. If I don't have an overnight sitting, I come home throughout the day to take my dogs out and give my chickens some late-day time to forage. If I'm unable to make it home in the evening, my partner happily steps in to care for our furry family members. My days are joyfully filled with animals! I take pride in bringing the same patience, compassion, and attentiveness to caring for other people's pets as I do my own. I care for every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, comfort level, and their specific needs. Through my professional experience, I have cared for an extensive variety of dog breeds, temperaments, ages, and health conditions, including dogs who require extra patience, supervision, or specialized care. The fulfillment I receive from helping an animal feel safe and comfortable is a major reason I chose animal care as my career path. I am attentive to changes in behavior or well-being and take every concern seriously. My professional background has also taught me to remain calm and level-headed during emergencies. I believe communication with owners is just as important as hands-on care, so I make it a priority to keep owners informed and comfortable while their pets are in my care.

About: Hi! My name is Deanne, and I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a strong background working hands-on with dogs in structured care environments. I currently work at the Guide Dog Foundation, where I care for dogs in a nursery setting. My daily responsibilities include feeding, monitoring health and behavior, administering medication when needed, and supporting the early development and well-being of working dogs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs, and I’m attentive to detail when it comes to routines, safety, and individual needs. I understand how important consistency and trust are for animals when their owners are away. I’m reliable, calm, and very observant—especially when it comes to changes in behavior or health. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated with how your pet is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Pet care is already part of my daily routine through my work at the Guide Dog Foundation, where I care for dogs on a structured schedule. I’m used to feeding, monitoring health and behavior, and following consistent care routines, so Rover fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I work evenings Wednesday-Sunday from 6pm-10pm. So I’m available during the day. I provide care by following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort, and I adjust care based on the pet’s needs.

He has health issues and an attitude and Staci was able to accommodate his needs. Thanks to her we were able to take our first vacation together in three years!!!”

About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I’m a dedicated pet sitter with three years of volunteer experience at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable handling everything from playful puppies to calm senior dogs, and I tailor each walk and visit to your dog’s individual needs. I’m very detail-oriented and experienced in following specific feeding instructions, medication routines, and behavioral guidelines. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or lots of affection, I’m committed to providing safe, dependable, and loving care while you’re away. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine. I have both a dog and a cat of my own, so caring for pets is already built into my day. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to focus on walks, visits, feeding schedules, and quality time with each pet to ensure pets receive consistent attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I care for pets using the experience I gained from three years of volunteering at an animal shelter, where I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, as well as cats with different personalities and needs. I tailor my care to each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard that allows dogs to safely play, exercise, and relax outdoors. I also have two friendly pets who can provide gentle companionship, helping visiting pets feel more at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. I focus on creating the most comfortable and enjoyable experience possible for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I closely follow feeding instructions, medication routines, and any special care guidelines. My goal is to provide attentive, compassionate care while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.

“Wow where do I begin? As a homeowner, it's a matter of trust to have a house sitter, which I've used others through rover in another state before but was not nearly as impressed as I was with Sam. Her communication throughout, dedication to my pets well-being and impeccable state of our home upon return was amazing. As I took off overseas for the holiday I was reassured that my animals were secure which set the tone for the trip. I was relaxed the entire time with adorable updates and thoughtful touches via pictures and messages. Sam is a mature multi-tasker and a nice person overall. I left an extremely detailed list of instructions but it was pointless---Sam knows how to run a household! Thank you, Sam!”

About: Caring for pets is my full-time focus, so my schedule is flexible and I’m available whenever your pet needs me. I love long walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and time to sniff around. I also have two dogs of my own, Koa (a Lab/Terrier mix) and Lilo (a Pitbull), so I’m used to a house that runs on walk schedules and dinner bowls. Pet care is my full-time focus. I have a flexible schedule and can help with walks or drop-in visits throughout the day, including last-minute needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality, and I approach every visit with calm, patience, and care. I treat every home with respect and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

“Hayley was a wonderful sitter for our 2 year old shepherd mix—highly recommend! Not only did she come to the rescue when our dog sitter backed out last minute, but she also took amazing care of our dog who had just had an injury (requiring close monitoring, medication administration, and wound care). She helped ease our stress, knowing he would be in good hands while we were away. She was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and so accommodating—sending us plenty of updates, pictures, and videos. She went above and beyond to take care of him and our home.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. Since I’m home often, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I can help keep them on their normal schedule so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. For house sitting, I’m also able to bring my work equipment with me, which allows me to stay with your pet while still working remotely and giving them consistent care and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine and environment as normal and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, crate routines, and any house rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and fenced areas are secure, and I pay close attention during walks and playtime to keep pets safe. I’m respectful of every client’s home and will treat both your pet and your space with care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have always LOVED dogs of all sizes & breeds. I used Rover back in 2018 for some time but unfortunately my life got too busy to give the dogs all the attention they need and deserve. As I have a lot of extra time right now, I have decided to return to Rover and I’m excited to make some new furry friends. Dogs seem to be naturally comfortable & relaxed with me, as I with them. During high school & college, I did a lot of dog sitting. I genuinely enjoyed the "work" (it was more fun than work) and bonded with each and every one of these dogs. I usually stayed at my clients' homes while they were away. Sometimes for just a weekend, other times up to 2 weeks or more. I have dog sat and walked for numerous types of breeds including Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Standard Poodles, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, Kerry Blue Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Welsh Corgi, Shih Tzus, Mixed breeds, and many more! While most of my clients were healthy, I have also dog sat for dogs with medical issues that require medications (including injections and seizure, medications) and/or special needs. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives and are a part of our families. I understand how stressful and upsetting it can be when you have to leave a loved-one home when you have to travel or even just leave for a few hours for work. It is very important to find someone you can trust that will love and care for your dog just as you do! I can guarantee, when with me, your loved-ones will be safe and treated with love and respect all dogs deserve. I enjoy getting "down and dirty" with "my dogs," whether it's playing with them on the living-room floor or at the beach, park, and/or backyard. Snuggling with them is always enjoyable and relaxing too. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I love spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing, exploring parks, or simply keeping them company. I’m able to work my schedule around each pet’s individual needs and routines, so they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I follow their usual feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other routines their owners have established. I believe dogs thrive on consistency, especially when their families are away. I love giving dogs plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime, while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to make their time away from their owners as happy and stress-free as possible! I also like to send photos and texts updating the owners on how the dog(s) is doing and what we spent our time doing.

About: Animal lover since the day I was born! I have a 5 year old cat named Lilly who is extremely friendly with other pets so I can bring pets to my house. I worked at New York’s Best Pets on Dyckman 200 Street before it burned down unfortunately and there I took care of feeding, grooming and playing with the pets as well as customer service. I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past, from walking to dog sitting. I have given prescribed medicine to dogs when they needed it and have trimmed their hair when asked to, as well as given them a full shower and a good groom. I live next to Raynor Beach Country Park and I love going out for walks and runs so you know your dogs will always have a good time and stay fit! I’ve been taking care of pets most of my life and I want to give pets the best experience they’ve ever had. I’m athletic so I have plenty of energy to burn. With me, I can guarantee your pets will have a great time and you’ll be satisfied with how they’ve been taken care of!

Alexa is a diamond in the rough. While hesitant, having never used Rover nor had someone other than immediate family watching Buddy, and with a trip closing in, Alexa came in the clutch and went beyond and beyond my expectations for my nearly 17-year-old senior Buddy. One to two years ago, Buddy would have been a breeze to watch. Now, his hind legs, mind, and bladder (no accidents for over 16 years) aren't the same as before, and he requires more attention. Alexa provided that attention, and some. Cleaning up his accidents, picking him up onto the couch or bed (he refuses to sleep anywhere else), letting him out as soon as she could, hanging out with him outside, cleaning up after herself and Buddy, following guidelines, and way more than I can fit in this review. Alexa is very communicative too, providing updates and pictures. All in all, Alexa rocks, and I'm happy I found someone who cares just as much about Buddy as I do. Book her, you won't regret it!

Brianna was absolutely fantastic while caring for my pets. She watched my six dogs and my cat and handled everything with patience, kindness, and genuine care. She kept me consistently updated by sending photos and messages, which really put me at ease while I was away. It was clear my pets were comfortable, happy, and in great hands.

Paul watched our two new rescue German Shepherds for an overnight when we went out of town after only having the dogs for 2 weeks. It was such a relief to find someone close by who is a GSD lover. Both dogs took to Paul & his wife immediately. We loved getting photo and video updates while we were away from our new fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Poquott

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Poquott is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 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 October 2026, there are 2,453 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Poquott. 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 Poquott 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 Poquott 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 Poquott 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.

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.
