“Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!”
“Beth is fantastic! We were away for more than a week and she stayed with our cat (a sometimes challenging cat!), and he was incredibly cared for. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely have her care for our kitty again should the need arise. I can’t recommend Beth highly enough.”
“Nicole is very communicative and caring. She jumped in to help with a very last minute request. She is calm, and is really sweet with the dogs. We had to end the booking early due to concerns with my dog’s behavior but I’m thankful she was able to flag the issues early on. She is easy to work with and your dogs wills be in great hands.”
“We truly could not love Holly more. We have four dogs, three of whom have special needs so it’s a lot for anyone to take on but Holly not only managed all of their needs but went out of her way to give them extra time and affection. Our youngest pup had a rough start to life and struggles with new people but she was crawling in bed with Holly on the first day! She knew our oldest loves frisbee but when Carra wouldn’t play with her, she took her for special 1:1 walks to make sure she still got exercise and attention. Truly nobody has ever been such a hit with our pups and I only wish we could have Holly sit for us any time we need to go anywhere!”
“We were so happy to have Elizabeth stay with our dog and cat and have only the highest praise for this experience. She really made a point of connecting with them and keeping them safe and happy. She was professional but also warm and caring. We could tell that they, and the house, were in good hands and would definitely use her again.”
“We were away visiting family for a month and it was the first time in a long time that someone besides a good friend of mine stayed at our house with our 3 cats. Of course I was a bit nervous with having a new sitter but Jill quickly put my concerns at bay. She was wonderful with communicating and sending photos of the cats so I was ensured that they were getting great care. Jill was also fantastic with keeping me up to date on other house issues. When we returned home, despite her being there for a month, the place looked like nothing had happened! Jill left the house so clean and had also take very good care of the outside areas. We could not have been more pleased and grateful with her stay and help!”
“Amanda took excellent care of our dogs while we were away. I had complete peace of mind knowing that the dogs were well looked after and a watchful eye was keeping track of the garden and houseplants. Amanda kept us up to date with pictures and videos, and she handled the idiosyncrasies of our home with no issues. We will happily book Amanda for future travel needs and would highly recommend. If our dogs could type, I'm sure they would leave raving reviews too!”
“Rachel is wonderful and reliable even when I have last minute calls. Lenny is well loved and Rachel’s communication is just enough for updates without being overwhelming. I immediately rebooked her following her first stay!”

“Hayleigh was so attentive to our dogs and their individual needs. She was great at communicating while we were gone. Hayleigh even made an extra trip to our house to meet the dogs and learn about their daily routine. I will definitely be booking her in the future and recommend her to any dog parent!”
“Tanya was like having family watch our fur babies! She even went above and beyond and helped my wife out who’s a wheelchair user! We’re camping and she even started a fire to keep my wife (who’s not easy to manage 😅😂) warm!!! 1000% recommend her! When I got home my dogs slept like a rock haha! I know who I’m calling we’re ever back in Maine!!! It’s never easy leaving your dogs wirh a stranger but I knew instantly they were in great hands 😍. Tanya is an absolute profesional and my dogs LOVED her! Doesn’t get much better!”
“Hannah was fantastic!! She took excellent care of our animals and our home while we were gone for a week. I would recommend her to anyone - very caring and sweet! We were always kept up to date on our animals and their adventures with Hannah!”
“I couldn’t even express how delighted I was with Elise’s care. Rosie is an old girl with an injury and I was so worried about leaving her. But Elise made sure she got her meds, wore her brace and sent me photos so I could see her daily. I would recommend her to anyone. She will be my go to dog sitter from here on out.”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia but everyone calls me Olive! Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, starting with volunteering at the local shelter ever since I was old enough. I truly Olive all pets! My background provides expertise across many different needs and temperaments. My journey began volunteering at the animal shelter, where duties included daily animal care, dog walking and socialization, and kennel cleaning. In my more recent history, I gained deep experience working at a non-profit cat rescue, with duties including specialized feeding, medication administration, sanitation, and monitoring feline health. Building on this, I'm especially skilled with young cats through fostering kittens, which entails providing 24/7 care for vulnerable babies, managing strict feeding schedules, facilitating litter box training, and ensuring daily socialization. I also volunteered at a wildlife rescue in Santa Fe, New Mexico, demonstrating my commitment to advanced animal care and hands-on experience in diverse environments. I also have a special soft spot for the seniors! Having provided gentle, loving care for my own cherished senior dogs and cats throughout my life, I specialize in meeting their specific needs, from medication to quiet companionship. I look forward to providing your pets with the knowledgeable and compassionate care they deserve. As a full-time online student, I have no competing job obligations, allowing for maximum flexibility. I am fully available for early morning services, midday check-ins, and dog walks. I manage my brief Monday and Wednesday night classes by simply scheduling evening care earlier on those two days, ensuring consistent, reliable service. My availability is ideal for daily care and dedicated overnight house sitting for your pets! When your furry family is in my care, they are showered with My affection, cuddles, and all their familiar comforts! My goal is to make their time away from you feel safe, comfortable, and full of fun. I always stick to your established schedule, covering specific feeding times, favorite treats, and medication needs—delivered with patience and a gentle hand. Whether it's an enjoyable walk tailored to your dog's pace or an engaging playtime session for your cat, I ensure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need, making sure litter boxes are always tidy and water bowls are fresh. For our distinguished seniors, I provide a special kind of love, slowing down for extra-gentle handling, cozy quiet time, and specialized patient care. You'll receive frequent photo updates and happy reports so you can see your pet thriving—guaranteeing your peace of mind.
“Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!”
“Patricia cared for our elderly dog, Dunkin. She followed all our directions and took care to give him everything he needed. I'm sure he enjoyed going with her to her work and being in new places. We will definitely consider hiring her again.”
“Jessica is great and the Littles and Henry the cat loved her. I appreciated the photos and checkins while I was away and did not worry. Everyone had fun. Jessica arrived on time, stayed at my home and was there when I returned. Everything went smoothly. Thank you so much! Doreen”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockport
Ann was wonderful with our 13.5 year old English setter. She took extra care making sure Buddy was safe and comfortable. She was very communicative about his health to make sure she was doing everything she could for him. We couldn’t have left him in better hands I highly recommend Ann!!!
Hayleigh is amazing!! We have a neurotic chihuahua that won't let anyone get near her. Hayleigh sent me pics on day 3 of her holding our pup. We have two dogs and two cats, and she stayed 3 weeks. We received daily updates and photos. She is seriously the best pet sitter we've ever had. She loved on our babies as if they were her own. We highly recommend using Hayleigh! She is the best! We've already booked her again. If we weren't moving, I'd try to keep her a secret. Ha! Our dogs and cats loved her.
Beth is fantastic! We were away for more than a week and she stayed with our cat (a sometimes challenging cat!), and he was incredibly cared for. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely have her care for our kitty again should the need arise. I can’t recommend Beth highly enough.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rockport on Rover is $72.91 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 92 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockport. 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 Rockport 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 Rockport 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 Rockport 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 with handling special pet needs in Rockport. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
