“Jamie was super easy to communicate with and kept me updated with pics during our trip which made this dog mama very happy and gave me peace of mind. My pups made a new friend and everything went smoothly, I couldn’t ask for more. Thanks!”
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals, from chickens to cows, to bunnies, dogs, and chinchillas. I love them! I’m home every day and have plenty of time to spend with your babies. I am in my second year of medical school at LECOM Bradenton. I am home during the day when I am not in class, and love walks to exercise (having your pup would be a plus!) I like to walk 3-6 miles a day but will adjust to your needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. I love walking around the neighborhood. I enjoy playing frisbee and tug of war - with lots of experience.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From iguanas and hamsters to cats and dogs, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry, scaled, and whiskered companion along the way 🐾 I’ve especially spent most of my life caring for dogs, so understanding their personalities, routines, and needs comes naturally to me. I currently have a 14 year old dog who is truly my pride and joy, and caring for her has only deepened my love and patience for animals. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, affection, and care I give my own. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved 🤍 I work full time (9-5) but in the evenings and Weekends I am free(: so any needs you may have please don’t hesitate to reach out. 😌 Well I’m sure since I can’t provide my own home, that you the owner will let me know any safety hazards or things I would need to know before anything
“Sky is the best!! She’s a great house sitter, takes great care of the pups and keeps me updated throughout their stay. I hope to be able to hire her everytime we are out of town or need some extra help! I trust her very much & the pups are looking forward to her next visit.”
About: I have been professionally and personally caring for all types of animals for 10+ years. I have had all kinds and sizes of dogs ranging from chihuahuas to pit bulls! Currently, I am not allowing pets over to my house, but I am happy to travel to you! This is not just a job for me, but truly a passion! There is no work I find more fulfilling and I hope you’ll consider me to help love and care for your pets! I am available anytime of the day every Saturday and Sunday with 1 day notice! Morning, afternoon, or night, I am here to care for your pets! Weekdays I am typically only available in the evenings. When coming to your home to care for your pets, I always make sure your animals are fed and given water if needed. I also make sure dogs are always on their leash before letting them outside unless it is a fenced backyard to make sure they are safe.
“This was Mia's first time with Stephanie and Elizabeth, and all went well. I really appreciate them taking care of my 16.5 year old pup. she appeared to have had a great time. Will definately book with them again. Thanks, from Vickie and Mia!”
“Stefania, was great. She provided us with many pictures and daily communications. Our furbabies were well cared for, she took the dogs outside several times a day, which is something they definitely love. Our house was well cared for.”
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry family members, with extra love! I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.
“Vanessa was a wonderful housesitter for my dog, Zoey. She kept in touch by sending pictures and texts daily. She followed all the suggestions and directions that were important to me and took very good care of my dog, Zoey. When I arrived home at 9:00pm, I noticed that she had cleaned and dusted my home and washed and remade the bed that she had used. I have already booked Vanessa for an upcoming trip next month. I would definitely recommend her if you live in the Bradenton area.”
“Seth was very attentive and communicated daily about the dogs with photos. He even applied ear antibiotics and cleaned Izzy's ears daily, as she got an ear infection just prior to him dog/house sitting.”
About: Experienced in formal dog care since I was 15, including rescue, training and boarding. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and working from home allows me to care for your pet as if they were part of my own pack. I work from home Monday - Friday with a flexible schedule and availability to provide a wide variety of services to give your pet the premium care they deserve. I care for pets as if they’re my very own. All incoming animals have free range of furniture, toys, and sleeping in which ever bed they choose.
“McKayla was absolutely amazing while house-sitting and caring for my dog, Mable, and my cat, Kaiah. Mable is still a puppy with a ton of energy, so she can definitely be a handful, but McKayla was incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with her. She also took great care of Kaiah and made sure both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. What really stood out was her communication. She sent so many photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. She was always easy to reach, quick to respond, and kept me informed the entire time. Since she stayed in my home, I also appreciated how respectful and responsible she was. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Coming home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house made all the difference. I would absolutely book McKayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Emily is the best. From the meet & greet prior to booking she seemed trustworthy to care for our Lana girl in our home. She was kind and personable. She was communicative and provided appropriate and meaningful updates on our girl while we were away. I would absolutely request her again to pet sit. I’m so grateful for animal loving people like her.”
“Kelly & McKenna took care of our senior ShihTzu and puppy Saylor for a quick trip and we could not have asked for a better pair to watch our babies. The level of detail and communication we received is the best you could asked for. Kelly & McKenna treated our babies like their own and made sure they were comfortable while we were away. Absolutely will be using them again in the future!”
“Connie was a new house and pet sitter for us. It can be a bit stressful when finding someone new; however, I didn’t have to worry one bit! Connie was easy to get to know quickly and can tell she’s passionate for all animals. She left me feeling confident that the house and pets would be in very good hands. Professional, compassionate with great communication! Thank you!!!”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Michael was wonderful with my dog. He was attentive and sent plenty of pictures and provided updates. I appreciate his flexibility with his schedule since this was a last minute booking. Would definitely recommend and plan to book with Michael in the future.”

Ruth was great with Milo. Ruth was very communicative and sent photos during their visit. All was well with Milo and the house when we returned (she even changed the sheets so we didn't have to deal with that when we got home from our trip). We will definitely use Ruth again.
Morgan was an awesome resource to pull together care for my two large Labs, Maggie and Chubbs. I was sent text and picture feedback every day. Upon returning home, clearly the dogs were happy and content, and my guess is would’ve preferred to see their nanny’s come through the door rather than me! 😂 Always great service and support from Rover and caregivers. I highly recommend!
Elliana went really above and beyond with my house and animals. She left the house and critters cleaner and happier than she found them. She took care of house tasks and was so accommodating during her housesit. She gave love to Leo over the holidays and even got him a Christmas treat. She was great. She also has a history of working with animals, which is a comfort in every way.
I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!

FAQs for House Sitting - Samoset
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Samoset on Rover is $58.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,948 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Samoset. 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 Samoset 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 Samoset 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 Samoset 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
