“Had a very good experience with Ruth. She is kind and great with pets. My timid and grieving dog was very happy when I came home. I’m sure she took great care of her.”
“Jenna was an amazing sitter for our dog Zeke and our house! We were gone for two weeks and Jenna made sure to keep in touch and send pics throughout that time. Her authentic affection for dogs was so clear from the first meeting. We’d absolutely book Jenna again!!”
“Dagmar was our house-sitter for a weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took excellent care of our dog and cat and the house was just as we left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Kelsey was great! We have a cute but slightly needy golden retriever who we worry about with kenneling or other sitters but she loved Kelsey. Kelsey also left our house in a beautiful condition. We were able to enjoy our vacation half the world away without worrying about our fur baby!! Definitely would use again and highly recommend.”
“Tenielle was a great caretaker for our active dog, Buddy. I was concerned about leaving him for a week, but it worked out fine. Buddy was safe and well cared for. Tenielle sent us pictures and an update every day we were gone, and she was punctual, reliable, flexible to changes and easy to reach by phone. I would definitely recommend her and would feel confident in hiring her again.”
“Nicole does a great job with our 8 year old Golden Retriever. She works from our home, so our dog is not by herself for too much time. We have used Nicole now at least for 3 years for house sitting and also for short pop ins when we are gone just for a day trip. Nicole leaves our house looking clean and in great shape. We will absolutely use Nicole again.”
“Katherine was professional, communicative, so thorough, detailed and caring when watching our pups during a family weekend out of town trip we went on. She watched 2 of our pups, gave us very timely updates, followed all of our instructions to the t, has such a kind warm personality. We highly recommend and definitely will be hiring Katherine again!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, with experience caring for breeds of all sizes. I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs and have been comfortable handling and caring for them from a young age. Additionally, I have experience house-sitting and providing care for dogs belonging to coworkers, friends, and family members. My lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs allow me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every dog I look after. I am currently playing junior hockey, with practices scheduled Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I am fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your dogs. My availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays varies depending on my hockey schedule, but I am happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while giving each dog plenty of attention, affection, and exercise suited to their needs. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated on how their pets are doing for added peace of mind.
“Torre was literally awesome. He was here the whole time with my dogs. Dogs were calm and happy when I came home, meaning they had a great time. Torre even gave them extra walks. Really a great guy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Brandon completely went above and beyond to care for our two cats and home while we were gone for a week and a half! He asked thoughtful questions, followed all directions to a T, and often sent some greatly appreciated picture/video updates (and prompt responses). We were SO grateful to return home to find our cats in amazing spirits after clearly having some solid companionship, and to find our house exactly as we left it. Would absolutely book with him again!”
“Shannon went above and beyond to care for our pups, was super communicative, and handled a last-minute health issue with one of our dogs like a pro. She took fantastic care of our house as well. Highly recommend her for your dog/house sitting needs!”
“Cecilia was so awesome! She was attentive and diligent with all the care instructions. She sent updates with pics each day and my cat clearly loved her. I came home to an extremely clean and tidy home and a very happy kitty. Highly recommend Cecilia to care for your pets!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.
“Kimberly was great! She stayed over our house during Christmas Eve and Christmas and sent photos throughout her stay. Our place was left very clean and our dogs were well taken care of. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Annabelle was an excellent match for my 15 year old Spaniel. She was conscientious, neat and tidy (she stayed overnight), reliable and trustworthy. My dog’s age brings challenges (vision and hearing issues) yet Annabelle never skipped a beat. I was nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger but it worked fine.”
“Brooke is very courteous and conscientious and takes great care of Remy and our home. She has house sat a few times for us now and after she leaves, it’s as if she were never here.”
“I am so glad we went with Katharine to take care of our dog while we were away. She was very thoughtful, caring and asked the right questions. You can most certainly trust Katharine with your pet, and home should you need care in the form of house sitting. Communicative and professional, we would look to hire again. She was terrific”
“Domenica stayed with my dog Kosmos for three nights. I can only recommend her services. She was very responsive, sent me updates, and took great care of him. Kosmos often gets anxious when I’m traveling, which I can see based on how he acts while I’m away and right after I’m back. But this time he was completely relaxed and happy, which is entirely Domenica’s accomplishment.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rye is $60

Jennifer did a great job watching our dog while we attended funeral services for a beloved family member. Jennifer figured out quickly how to best care for our dog and it was a relief for us. She was very accommodating and positive. I will definitely contact Jennifer again when we are in the area. Thank you Jennifer!
Jasmine was terrific! Our boy Jack is a big insecure baby. He took to Jasmine right away. We went away for the first time able to leave Jack in his favorite environment, home. We got a photo everyday and correspondence on what was going on. Felt very much in touch. Thank you Jasmine. We will hopefully be able to book with you again soon.
Marcela was the best care we could have hoped for for our dog and cat during a long weekend! She was extremely communicative, went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, sent photos and updates several times per day and took gentle care of our pets (especially during July 4 fireworks). We can’t wait for Marcela to stay with our girls again and are very grateful we found her!
Brandon took excellent care of Leo while we were away. He was professional and communicated well, took great care of our home and made sure that all of Leo’s needs were met. Leo loved cuddling with Brandon and especially appreciated the forest hikes! We’d highly recommend Brandon!
We needed a fill-in sitter for one weekend. Vinny got along with our pups and kitty really well and respected our home. I appreciate that he listened to our training requests with our youngest pup and not allowing him to jump. We had a last minute curveball with our oldest pup and she needed extra attention, she was well looked after. We felt at ease the entire weekend and came home to a calm, happy household.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Rye 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 Rye 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 Rye 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. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
