About: Dogs have been apart of my life since day one, they are seriously the best companions. I have trained a few dogs, including my own lab who I got at 7 months as well as cared for senior dogs such as my childhood pup who got up to 14! Im free at some point and time every day! I can check up on dogs, take them for walks and have dogs stay with me overnight any day of the week. I care for pets just how they need to be cared for. I love clear communication with owners so I can completely understand the doggos needs and care for them best. I will update owners all throughout the time I am watching their furry friend.
“Tati is so wonderful. She was attentive, gentle, kind and very communicative. We felt so comfortable that our puppy was in good hands and felt that Tati went above and beyond.”
“Grateful to James! He very patiently waited for an appearance from my shy and wary cat, and in the end made a clear connection. Communicative and friendly -- I recommend James!”
About: I have always had a love for animals especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, one is 8 years old and the other is less than a year old. I have been taking care of my friends and families pets since I was 10. I am a student a the George Washington University in Washington D.C. and have been walking dogs regularly! I am looking for walks in between my classes and on the weekends! I’m very flexible with timing and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what works best! At my home both my dogs are create trained so I have a lot of experience with that. I also have experience with administrating meditation.
About: Landscape designer by day, pet whisperer by night. I’ve enjoyed a whole life of pet ownership. Delivering concious pet care is priority. My experience is broad; I’ve cared for an array of dog breeds, cats, lizards, chickens, rabbits, and plenty of aquatic creatures. I’ve enjoyed a fulfilling experience caring for other's beloved pets as if they're my own. *Dachshund specialist I’m available weekends for walks and daily for after work check ins and overnight house sitting. Happy to provide pet care and errands necessary for an easy experience. I’m an attentive dog watcher. I try to understand their needs by monitoring for nonverbal communication and behavior patterns. Pets deserve a safe and comfortable environment, I deliver.
“Nicole took wonderful care of our pets and kept us up to date with messages and pictures. She was very responsive and caring. We have lots of cats of various ages and on different diets and we felt very confident that she could manage it all. She took our dog for nice long walks. I would highly recommend Nicole if you want a mature, kind and responsible pet sitter who can handle multiple pets with medication or special diets, in addition to company and love. Knowing she was taking care of our pets helped me relax and enjoy our family vacation.”
About: I'm an experienced house and pet sitter with 30+ 5-star completed sits along the East Coast through TrustedHousesitters and personal referrals. I'm now offering my services through Rover in the Portsmouth area and 25-mile radius. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, animals with anxiety or trauma histories, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. What you can expect: I learn each animal's routine rather than applying one approach to every pet. I send daily photo updates. I'm naturally tidy and leave homes clean and calm, and I'm glad to look after plants or a garden while I'm there. A few practical notes, so we can both tell early whether it's a good fit: 1. Meet & greet before every first booking. I require a video call or an in-person visit so we can both assess fit. You get to meet me and ask whatever you need to; I get to meet your pet and see the space. Until we've had that conversation, please treat my response as interest rather than a confirmed booking, and keep your other options open. I won't accept a booking before a meet and greet for house sitting. 2. Weekday availability. I see clients on video Monday through Friday, 10a–4p. I'm in the home the whole time, so your pets get frequent short breaks and company throughout the day, but I'm not available for walks or errands during those hours. I am able to support potty breaks during the 12:00-1:00pm hour. 3. Workspace. I need a desk or table at standard height with a supportive chair in a room with a door that closes, plus wifi that reliably holds a video call. I bring my own laptop, monitor, and stand, so I only need the surface and the space. 4. Pets I care for. Calm adult dogs and cats. I'm not currently accepting puppies under a year, and I'd want to talk first about dogs with a bite history, special medical needs, or significant reactivity. 5. Service area. Based in the Portsmouth/Eliot area; I generally take bookings within about 25 miles. 6. Notice. At least two days for new clients, and more when possible for longer stays. Tell me about your pet — their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel safest. I'd love to hear it! I work from home with structured hours, which allows me to be available for walks, feeding, medication schedules, playtime, and companionship at certain times of the day, roughly every 3-4 hours. My approach is calm and intentional. I honor your pet’s established rhythm and do my best to create a grounded environment that feels like home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a sense of safety, routine, and calm. I take time to learn your pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personality so I can offer care that feels familiar. In the home, I’m quiet, clean, and respectful of your space. I aim to leave things just as I found them—or better. I water plants, bring in mail, manage light tidying, and keep things running smoothly so you can return home with ease. I also provide thoughtful updates with photos and check-ins, so you feel connected while away.
“Jessica took great care of our cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was very professional and reliable, and the kitties enjoyed her company — even the timid one! Thanks again!”
“Veska took such great care with our 16 year old dachshund. She went above and beyond to walk and feed Sweetpea. We highly recommend the dog care service that Veska provides.”
About: I was at a daycare place for 2 years then decided to start my career as a veterinary assistant! I’m happy to watch your furry family while you’re away 💕 I’m available all day Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, including overnight stays. During the week, I’m available for overnight stays as well as visits before and after work. If you’re located near my workplace, I can also stop by during my lunch break, with the possibility of making up to 3–5 visits per day if needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and create a schedule that best fits their needs. I have experience working with both cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s individual personality. I’m especially patient with cats and take the time to let them become comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I also love being active with dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention\. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and always prioritize the safety, comfort, and well being of the pets in my care.
About: I have always grown up with dogs all around me. My mom is a dog lover so we always had 1-3 dogs in the house at all times! I have a full time job during the week, 9-5 Monday through Friday, so I am looking to help on the weekends! I am available for drop in visits at any time on Saturdays and Sundays. I treat all animals as though they are my own. If I am taking care of your animals I promise to take care of them as I would my own pets.
“We had a great experience with Natalee! She was wonderful with all of our cats, including our more shy kitties, and did a fantastic job keeping up with multiple feeding schedules, different types of food, and medications. She really took the time to get to know each cat’s personality and play style, which we appreciated so much. We also loved all the pictures and updates from each visit — it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Natalee and would use definitely her again!”
About: Dogs were my first love. I've cared for dogs young and old, adopted and fostered dogs, raised puppies, provided training at all ages, and provided post-op and healthcare for unwell dogs. I have extensive experience loving and supporting dogs through their toughest moments, including separation anxiety, phobias, and illnesses. I've walked with pups from all paws of life - all breeds, ages, energies, and personalities - and loved them all!! All dogs are wonderful, and I will never, ever discriminate by breed. As a full-time dog pamperer, I've got plenty of attention, love, toys, and fluffy blankets to keep your furbaby happy and loved while you are away! I will love your dog exactly as they are - high-energy, low-energy, and everything in between. Whether they want endless walks or endless snuggles, I am excited to make your dog's stay an unforgettable getaway just for them! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your best friend. I'm happy to go above and beyond to make you feel confident that your pet is in good hands - from photos and updates to video check-ins. Your comfort matters to me just as much as your furbaby's. I always provide top-tier pet care, giving you peace of mind so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest! I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I am delighted to accommodate your furbaby anytime with enough notice. I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays, any time of year. My dog is the center of my universe, and I will treat your pup like they were my own! My house is their house, and my furniture is their furniture! My wonderful 9-year-old dog, Cleo, will be happy to keep your furbaby company. She's super friendly, low-energy, and always eager for a cuddle. I have access to a private dog park, an unfenced yard, and easy access to nearby nature trails, parks, and beaches! I can't wait to meet your furbaby!
“Our scheduled pet sitter canceled and in desperation, I searched the internet and found Rover. I sent out my request and in minutes James responded. I was instantly relieved. He came over to visit us before leaving for vacation to meet us and our pets. James administered medication and took wonderful care of our 4 cats and dog. We are super grateful for all the help and services James provided us. We will definitely rebook again!!!”
“Sammi has been an amazing help with my dog Tessa during my long work days. She’s very prompt when responding to booking requests and reliably shows up on time for schedule drop-ins. I love getting her photo updates knowing my dog is being well taken care of. Thanks Sammi!”
“Tereza is very responsive, clear with communication, reliable and my dog loves to see her! She does drop in visits for my dog a few days a week and always takes her for a walk around the neighborhood during the visits. I would highly recommend her!”

Krista was AWESOME. I booked her within the week I needed her services, so we didn’t have a chance to meet beforehand, but I left her detailed notes regarding what she needed to know when coming to our home to walk our dogs. Krista followed everything to a T, and sent lots of pictures. I got a detailed play by play of the visit, and it looks like my pups loved her. ❤️ They were certainly content when I got home. We will look forward to using Krista again for our puppies’ needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rye on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,774 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rye. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rye stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
