“Caley took care of my mini schnauzer in my home over the thanksgiving holiday. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Great communication and I knew my baby was in great hands. Caley was especially good recognizing Veronica’s storm anxiety and helped her through that! I will definitely use them again.”
“Jessica was amazing! She is 100% reliable, trustworthy and kind. She watched our puppy for four nights (overnight) and was patient with a puppy that is still very early in her training. We hope she will be willing to come back soon and often because she was FABULOUS!”
“Jennifer was great. She arrived when she promised, navigated all my written instructions with ease, and sent me detailed updates of her time with Sunny, knowing intuitively exactly what I would want to know. Plus, the house was spotless when I returned, and my dog seemed happy, content, and well cared for. Thanks so much Jennifer! (I will definitely use you again!)”
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’m a single Nana no current pets I miss the puppy snuggles and kisses . I have had to pill my dog kids in the past so I’m familiar with that as well I work full time 8-4 . Work is in Manchester Nh home is in Hampton Nh My weekends are free. I wake early and stay up late . I’m able to offer potty breaks and mid day local check-ins . I enjoy walking dogs on leash around the block or in your yard . If they enjoy fetch or belly rubs I can handle that too .
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.
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me! I do not have my own dog currently but like to think of all those I watch as my own. I love to get them (and me) out for a walk especially on a beach or nearby trail. I also have a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and can match that energy level as well! If you need references I will be happy to provide them from Wallis, Teddie, Stella, Franklin, Buna, Wally, Tater, Judy, Kaya or Koda. I work from home so would not be away from your dog for more than an hour or two. If your dog likes the car, they can join me on errands/adventures. Or we can stay close to home for walks or snuggles. I care for dogs in their own home to keep them in familiar settings and routines. Important to know if they can be let outside in yard off leash or not, feeding times, what time is typical for wake up.
“Courtney did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away! We came home to two happy dogs and a house that was clean and tidy. She responded quickly and kept us in the loop the entire time. I would highly recommend, Courtney.”
“Peach took wonderful care of our fur babies for over a week. Peach was dedicated and attentive to the pups and in addition to giving the pups lots of love and attention she took great care of the house as well. Peach is a great communicator and sweet to work with, highly recommend!”
“Tati watched our two golden retrievers at our house for two whole days and one overnight. We're so happy and impressed with the care that Tati gave to our two dogs. She was very detailed and even came to meet the dogs a couple of days before to learn about their routine. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a dog or house sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for the last 10 years. I feed, bathe, pet sit and walk for friends and family. Currently going to school to be a veterinarian technician. I am currently working full time at a Veterinary Emergency Hospital and have availability to walk your pups! I look forward to connecting with you. I have close by walking trails to keep your pup happy. I can bathe, groom, walk and feed them. I can easily crate them if needed.
“Michael took wonderful care of our dog and home. She got tons of exercise and was relaxed and happy upon our return home. I appreciated being able to leave her with no stress, knowing she was well cared for!”
About: i am a parent to one big boy cat named Kemper! I grew up owning dogs and kittens and have never been able to live without a pet. My cat may possibly be my best friend and i’m okay with it but we could use a break sometimes from real people. I have watched pets for friends/ co workers/ family for multiple years and have completed training for dogs with aggression in the past. Watching others pets keeps me for trying to adopt every pet i see! I work at an autism day program M-F from 8:30-4pm so I have morning and nights available for whatever care is needed for every individual pet! I have had pets with health issues so I am super accommodating to their needs. My cat is extremely affectionate so attention needy animals are welcomed!
“Alex was an amazing dog sitter. My dog Roxy took to her right away. At our meet and greet, Alex was very thorough in wanting to know every single aspect of Roxy‘s routine.. This made the transition with Roxy very smooth. Alex displays a calmness and confidence.. this along with her experience made Roxy and I feel very comfortable. Alex was very respectful in our home too. She’s mindful of everything and made me feel at ease with her care of Roxy.. I would use Alex again no question! She was the best!”
About: Taking care of animals is my joy. I have 3 healthy cats and an 8 week old puppy at home who I take care of, and I have been dog and cat sitting since I was around 12. When I was younger I put up flyers around town for my little pet care business, and people loved how I took care of their animals. I am currently working part time and in online school, so my schedule is very flexible and I have lots of time to take care of animals! My cats that I have had for years are healthy and happy and they are my best friends. I have never missed feeding or playing or cuddling, and I will treat my clients animals like they are my own. In my clients home I like to make sure the animal is properly taken care of and that everything is under control, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, nail clipping, whatever it is!
“Paul was great! He made a commitment to dog sit several weeks before and was willing to come by to meet Charley before. Very communicative during the stay and left our place just like he found it. Excellent sitter! Would recommend.”
About: animals have always been my passion. i have always had animals growing up. i have been responsible for them and training them. i am going to school to be a vet tech, and currently work at a vet clinic as a kennel/daycare attendant. I am currently working part time and have a lot of flexibility in between my schedule! I would be available any times on my free days! I am open to doing check ins, walks, and staying for the day to watch them when needed! I can be very flexible and accommodating with any pet needs!
About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rye Beach
Caelie cared for our dog as if he were her own; he was loved, walked, fed, and she kept up with our training regimen. Caelie’s communication is top-notch! She texted updates as needed and sent us photos regularly. There were multiple snowstorms during the time she cared for him and she took very good care of our home both inside and out. I highly recommend Caelie for your pet sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rye Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rye Beach on Rover is $31.92 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,101 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rye 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 Rye 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 Rye 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 Rye 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 with handling special pet needs in Rye Beach. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
