“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”
“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.”
“Rover.com is very blessed to have Vanessa working and representing them. She is a delight to work with. Very thorough and truly understands per owners and little "quirks" they may have. I was unimpressed with Rover.com after speaking with help desk and because of her kindness and her enthusiasm, I went ahead and made reservation. The weekend was grand and the first time my 1 year old Chihuahua was without me. My 10 yr old terrier is terrified of storms and made it through a nasty storm on Saturday thanks to Vanessa understanding her needs. Her services will be needed in the future and can't wait to talk with her again. She is a star!!”
“Seth spent a long weekend with our pups and cat and took great care of the animals and our home. His knowledge and empathy with animals is evident in his updates and communication.”
“Dawn was fabulous! She was communicative and really bonded with our dogs and ducks! She even left our house cleaner than she found it!!! I could not have asked for a better dog/duck/house sitter!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life ever since I was born. Big dogs to little dogs, friendly cats to unfriendly cats and even all kinda of small animals. My goal is to give your pet the best experience while you will be away. I am currently pregnant and only working about 15 hours a week so I have plenty of time to be there for your furry friend. Feeding and crating your furry friends will be no issue for me. I can play tug, fetch, and even just talking long walks around the neighborhood. I can also provide transportation to dog parks or dog beaches for good walks for your fur babies.
“Haley is outstanding! The pets were well cared for, I received a lot of pictures and communication, the house was in perfect condition upon our return and I was able to enjoy our trip knowing our pets and house were well taken care of. Would highly recommend Haley!! She even made us a welcome home sign! So cute”
“Larissa went above and beyond for us! At the very last minute my daughter’s dog sitter had to cancel and Larissa was kind enough to watch all 4 dogs :). We also had some malfunctioning smoke detectors that were beeping and she was not a bit phased by the scramble to get that taken care of. Communication was great and Larissa made things super easy for us! We definitely felt like our pups were in good hands. I highly recommend her, she is a pleasure :).”
“Tyler was responsive, cared for Henry well, adhered to his play needs and routine, and communicated extremely well with daily photos and videos. Even when our pup had some tummy issues amd a few accidents from anxiety - he was patient , and took care of our home like it was his own. Not many people take this extra care and we had complete peace of mind while we were away for 5 days. We will definitely rebook with Tyler and highly recommend him. Henry gives him 10 paws 🐾”
“Victoria was amazing with our dog while we were gone. Our older dog unfortunately passes away a week before we left town and we couldn’t change our plans so we were so worried about our younger dog. Victoria gave her lots of love and attention and made sure she was kept occupied a lot so she didn’t get sad. She even brought her dogs over to play with her and brought them to our dog park. We couldn’t have been more grateful to her for taking such good care of our baby. We would recommend her 100%”
About: I've never not had a dog my whole life and have owned many cats, too. I'm a retired teacher and between my husband and I, someone will always be home with your pet. I've sadly lost beloved pets so I have experience from puppies to senior dogs. I love long walks but have a fenced yard too. I am off for the summer and when I go back to teaching I work 7-3. My husband is home during those times though. We are available for boarding all days, including all weekends. I have a fenced yard with a dog door from the lanai but I truly enjoy walking dogs. If your dog uses a crate, you can bring that. I have two small dogs but have had larger dogs in the past. They are both friendly to other dogs and they have dog beds they love but I'm fine with them hopping on the couch. Our neighborhood has a dog park too if your dog loves to run!
“Lorianne did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for our two labradors. She was punctual and sent us photo updates the whole time. We highly recommend her as we will want her to care for our dogs in the future!”
About: Experience: I have had hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of various sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I have done everything from energetic puppy playtime and daily dog walking to overnight house sitting for both cats and dogs. I am incredibly comfortable reading animal body language, maintaining consistent daily routines, and adapting to the unique quirks and needs of every pet I meet. My Services (Varies as Needed): • Dog Walking: Structured, safe, and fun outdoor adventures tailored to your dog’s fitness level and energy needs. • Pet Sitting / House Sitting: Keeping your pets safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. Following their exact feeding and potty schedules, and keeping your home secure. • Open Communication: I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so you can always expect timely updates, detailed summaries, and plenty of cute photo updates! I am currently a college student in St. Petersburg, but I commute from Lakewood Ranch, where I live. I do have classes Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of gaps and breaks in between my classes that would allow me to drop in. If I were doing overnight stays, I would immediately go from my campus to your location after my day was over, and if that does happen, I would be glad to send you my schedule in detail so we can further discuss logistics and times. For me, my home is just as much as my dog’s home. Usually all doors are open to allow him to traverse and lounge freely. My dog Brady has a general timeline of daily events, such as being let out, feeding, and playtime. I know that everyone has different rules and guidelines for their animals, which I will respect with the upmost importance. I would never want to put another person, or another animal in a situation of distress or unease, which is why I always follow instruction to a t, and if a situation ever arises in which I am unaware of what to do, or how to proceed, you the owner will immediately be contacted, as I would also never want to overstep and act on my own when that may not be in your, or your animals best interest.
“In true honesty I don’t want to leave a review for Chelsea because she’s so good. She’ll be booked if I need her. I can’t say enough about her. My dogs are happy, tired, very content. Alice, usually pouts for days when I leave and stops eating. None of that with Chelsea. She kept me updated twice a day including pictures which allowed me to relax. She kept my house clean and tidy like she hadn’t been there. Chelsea is a pro plus a professional young lady. It’s amazing to me to think I can travel without worry about my three furry family members being safe and comfy at home.”
About: I've owned and trained large and small dogs for more than 20 years. I love meeting and caring for others pets as well as my own! My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate almost all requests! I only work two days of the week in the office and those can be rotated to fit most schedules. I have two pet parks in my neighborhood and a lot of places to walk and play. I do prefer a more quiet and low energy atmosphere to keep pets calm and happy.
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Samoset
Sky is a spectacular sitter. She’s reliable, considerate and takes special care of our pups. We always look forward to having Sky dog sit for us and know that she will go above and beyond for us. She sends photos throughout her stay and takes them on several walks!
Janessa was amazing! She stayed at our house with our senior dog and two cats. She sent pictures and kept us updated daily. When we returned the house was clean and in the same manor we left it and the animals were well taken care of. She followed all of our requests for tending to the animals and the house. It made for a very relaxing vacation as we did not have to worry about anything. We will use her again!
Lindsey was great with our two small dogs. When she came to the house to meet them, they instantly liked her, which isn't always the case with a lot of people. They have a mildly complicated feeding routine. Lindsey took notes and handled their mealtimes well. She was communicative throughout our 8 day trip, sending us photos and updates. Our flight was delayed coming back and she made sure to check in with us to ensure we got home and rhe dogs were OK. We highly recommend her!
Giselle dog sat my 8 year old French bulldog over the July 4th weekend. She took great care of Eddie evident by Eddie's calm demeanor when I got home. She took photos and provided updates. She changed his pee pads, took out the trash and just left my place the way she found it with care to keeps things tidy. I plan to book with her again the rest of the year.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Samoset is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 per night.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Samoset. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
