About: Look no further!! Hello my name is Jack! I LOVE dogs and I always have. I have been trusted to watch family and friend’s pets since I was as young as 12 until now. I will take great care of your doggo, keep in touch with you the whole time, and have a blast while doing so :) message me now to see if we can work something out! I work at Kelly’s in Rockaway! I have 2 days off a week, currently Tuesdays and Wednesday's. I am normally pretty free after work as well, just message me and I can let you know :) I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass for your pet! In your home I will spend time with your pet inside and out if that is something you want.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. When I moved out, I immediately took in a kitten and, later, adopted a dog. I traveled throughout Europe and had opportunities to pet set during my adventure, which was truly amazing because I missed my pets dearly. I have taken care of many friends' and families pets while they were away, showing that I am very trustworthy with others' pets. I am living in Edwards CO for the remainder of the year and was unable to bring my cats with me. I'm signing up with Rover to extend my care for my pets to others who need it. I work Monday to Thursday. On the weekends I am always available unless I have plans to travel myself. I would be able to care for your pet at any time Friday Saturday and Sunday. This will vary depending on what specifically you would need me to do. In the past, I would go to the home to let the dogs out and play with them in the backyard. If that is unavailable, then I can take the dog for a walk as long as the leash and baggies are available to me. For cats, I will spend time playing with them, ensuring the litter box is cleaned, and water/food is available (and for dogs too).
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life and can hardly imagine it any other way. I find caring for fellow animals while their beloved humans have to be away is humbling, and I'd be honoured to do my best to hold space for them through that off-duty pending time in their love mission, which could be an intense temporary separation some of them experience. In my younger years, I volunteered at a dog park daycare and have also worked alongside professional dog trainers and rescue groups to support and foster pets who came through abandonment or pass-arounds. My role was especially with those labeled with an "unadoptable" status due to unique behavioural challenges(such as biting and extreme shyness)who needed a bit more deeper understanding. Facilitating better communication and understanding between our fellow animals and people has always been a deeply rewarding privilege that I love with all my heart, truly🙏 Puppies, kittens, and sweet seniors all have my whole heart. Senior pets and some kitties sometimes have a harder time showing their needs, but I know they are always sending us signs, and they are often just expressing themselves in gentler ways, and they truly appreciate having someone nearby who listens in their more vulnerable years. I currently travel full-time in my home on wheels with my kitty family, which gives me incredible flexibility. Because of this, I am happily available for long-term house sitting, as well as occasional drop-in visits and walks in the area I am. ( Currently in Oregon coastal areas ) I work remotely from my laptop on a flexible schedule, so I'm able to give your pets my full attention and keep them good company nearly the entire time while they nap(unless they prefer their own space!) Depending on what your pet enjoys, we can have a meaningful energy burn time in your yard, or explore neighbourhood messages 🐽 on a walk, play with toys and games at home, or simply lounge together with a nice massage (a favourite of my senior friends especially!). I also check on my own kitty family in our van home parked outside 3–4 times a day (about 15–30 minutes each time). Other than those brief check-ins, I keep to a consistent, reliable routine. And I am always happy to walk through what my schedule looks like before you book. 📍I am very open to traveling a bit further outside of Rover's standard radius for the right sit if requested far enough in advance! Depending on the length and needs of the booking, I don't mind journeying beyond my usual zone to come and support you and your pets. Please feel free to ask any questions. :) I believe that stress is a silent killer not only for humans, but for animals too. And I would do my best to keep their environment as peaceful, low-stress as possible, so they can feel safe and truly rest when they need to, while they cannot be with their precious special person(s)🙏
“Jodi was great! Our boy Joe was well cared for and seemed happy and chill when we returned. Our dog is new to us and to people warmed right up to her so we weren’t worried about leaving. The house was cleaner than we left it! We will definitely have her watch Joe again.”
“I am so happy that I found Clarisa. She is warm and caring and clearly loved taking care of my dog. I was away longer than usual, yet I didn't have any worries about my dog's care. I highly recommend booking with Clarisa!”
“Holly was awesome with my dog. She watched her for 3 nights. Was very communicative and asked me questions when unsure. Sent me lots of pics of my baby which means a lot. Also my dog can be particular about who she trusts but I can tell they got along great and she was well cared for. Thanks Holly !”
“Andie's first job for us was 15 days housesitting our cat. She did a perfect job and even added fun times for his day. She made sure he ate well and adhered to his dailey schedule. We appreciated coming home to a very well loved kitty and we will have no hesitation at all calling on her again!”
“Traci was super responsive and a great sitter! We had to change our plans last minute and she was understanding and willing to work with us so that our pets could be as well taken care of as possible. She sent daily updates with pictures and video that put my mind at ease and showed us how happy our dog Ellie was with her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockaway Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockaway Beach on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 36 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockaway Beach. 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 Rockaway Beach 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 Rockaway Beach 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 Rockaway Beach 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
