“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”

“Maya and Griffin LOVE Sofia as do I! She takes excellent care of them as well as our home. Very respectful of our place, totally trustworthy, and very dependable. I'm so thankful to have her as our dog sitter.”

About: Hi! We’re T.J. and Allie — lifelong dog lovers based in Seymour who truly treat our dogs like family. We currently share this Rover account, though most dog walking and drop-in visits will be handled by me, T.J. I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely consider them my favorite thing in the world. My wife and I don’t have kids, so our dogs are our kids — spoiled, loved, and cared for like family. We’re proud parents to three of the best boys ever: Ted, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise mix with the sweetest personality Banjo, a 12-year-old Sheltie mix who’s calm, loyal, and wise Otis, our newest addition — a 24-week-old Beagle & Jack Russell Terrier mix who is currently stealing our hearts (and socks) Because Otis is still very young, we are not offering boarding at this time while we focus on house training, routines, and helping him grow into a well-mannered pup. Once he’s fully trained and settled, we’ll happily open our home to boarding other dogs in the future. In the meantime, we’re excited to focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting — which honestly lets us give dogs our full attention in the environment they’re most comfortable in: their own home. I absolutely love going on walks and genuinely look forward to taking dogs out, exploring their neighborhoods, and making sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m very comfortable working with dogs on basic commands, leash manners, and obedience reinforcement, and I always follow the owner’s routines and preferences closely. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and videos during every visit. I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pride and joy, and I want you to see just how much fun your dog is having while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, attentive, communicative, and genuinely excited to spend time with your dog — we’d love to help. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care is intentionally built into my schedule, and I plan my day around visits to ensure each dog gets focused, unrushed attention. On weekdays I'm typically available for afternoon (after 4pm) and evening visits depending on the day. I do not overbook, so your pet will receive consistent, reliable care — not a rushed check-in. On most weekends I am available and excited to help with your doggos however I can. Because I’m in and out throughout the day, I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, structured walks, playtime, and reinforcement of basic commands when requested. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely — including feeding schedules, crate preferences, medication needs, and exercise routines. I aim to keep their environment consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my priority. I double-check leashes, doors, and gates before and after every visit, and I remain attentive during walks to avoid unsafe situations. I use positive reinforcement, calm energy, and structured handling to ensure dogs feel secure and well-managed. Clear communication is important to me, and you’ll receive photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Catherine was wonderful! It was such a last minute booking, but she responded so quickly. It was a genuine relief to have her come and look after my dog and cat on such short notice. Both my dog and cat are of geriatric age and have differing needs with both having different medical conditions. She listened to our concerns and took our pet care instructions seriously. She comforted my dog who has severe separation anxiety and somehow managed to persuade my cat with princess-like standards to eat her entire can of cat food. Throughout the night, she responded quickly and sent pictures and updates. I would definitely book with her again the next time I am traveling with my pets in the Knoxville or Gatlinburg region.”

“Teresa consistently goes above and beyond and it shows. She treats Wrigley like her own, buying him treats, even giving him a bath and cleaning out his ear bc he was itchy. My house was spotless and my laundry folded on my return. She always keeps me updated and has such a great attitude about things. I highly recommend.”


“Bethany watched my 3 dogs while I was away for a long weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures, followed all instructions, and gave my pups so much love and attention. So thankful to have a peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter!”

“Jataelynn was an amazing puppy sitter. She made us feel comfortable about leaving our 3 dogs with and took such great care of them. She communicated throughout the stay and asked questions, as needed. We would definitely recommend her and would not hesitate to book her in the future!”

“We hired Angela for a four-day weekend to care for our two dogs, one of whom is older, while the other is three years old. We were absolutely delighted with her services. Angela stayed at our house, walked our dogs, and maintained everything perfectly. Upon our return, we found our home in immaculate condition. Thank you so much, Angela! We would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Kristen took excellent care of my cats. She has a calm, friendly presence, and my cats responded very well to her. All three, especially the two Ragdolls, are very attached and tend to follow people around like little puppies, and they were clearly comfortable with her.”

“Leanne was the best sitter we could have asked for. Our travels plans got messed up and the pups had some medical issues pop up and she kept us so informed and the dogs taken care of. She absolutely went above and beyond for them, and made sure they got plenty of exercise as well!”


About: Since I was a teen, I've always been the go-to person asked to pet sit for people when they went on vacation. I've done it for 10+ years. I recently graduated from law school in May, and I am currently studying for the BAR. I would love to make some money on the side, caring for your special guys and girls! Currently, I have full availability because my sole focus is studying for the BAR. So I can make myself available at any time day or night! I love animals, and I recognize how much they crave attention, especially when they're missing their owner. I would love to provide that necessary attention in your absence. I will make sure that your place is the same as it was when I got there. With a fresh litter box cleaning for cats.
About: I’ve worked with dogs for many years, starting as a dog walker in Boston MA to then owning my own pet-related business, including Lexi’s Lucky Pup K9 Care in Manchester, NH (2023) and Lexi’s Paws & Peace Grooming in Pawtucket, RI (2025). I have experience with all different personalities, breeds, and energy levels. I’m very patient, attentive, and good at reading animals, especially dogs that are anxious, shy, or high energy. I prioritize safety, comfort, a low-stress environment, and of course making sure pets have fun! I also work in senior caregiving, so being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I try to make owners feel as comfortable as possible through updates, photos, and consistency. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate different routines, potty schedules, walks, and drop-off/pick-up times. I currently live full-time in an RV in a quiet campground setting - and yes, I know that probably sounds unexpected at first (e) — but it's actually a calm, nature-filled environment with a fully fenced-in yard and lots of supervised outdoor time. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they're most comfortable, whether that's on the couch, on my bed, in a dog bed, outside in the fenced yard, or even lounging outside with me on the lawn chairs getting fresh air. I work from home, so pets get lots of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, outdoor time, and interaction throughout the day.
“Leslie, First off wonderful person! Was on-time ,did everything that was asked of her, Spent the day twice with us while we were on vacation and took great care of our 2 furbabies so we could venture out and did not have to worry about our 4 legged children while we were gone. Look forward to the next time! Thanks Tiff ,Paul, Ara, Ricky bobby!”

You can count on me to provide reliable care, plenty of updates, and lots of love and attention! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine!

I’m also available all day on Mondays and Tuesdays, giving me plenty of flexibility to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets are always supervised, have fresh water, and receive plenty of love and attention.

FAQs for House Sitting - Seymour
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Seymour on Rover is $49.39 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 696 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Seymour. 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 Seymour 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 Seymour 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 Seymour 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 Seymour. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
