“Zuzana was amazing! She walked Roosevelt every day and sent us cute photos and videos. I was afraid Roosevelt wouldn't want to come home. We will use Zuzana again for sure. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was great! She watched my dogs for the weekend and made sure they were well taken care of! She let me know when she stopped by and made sure they had plenty of play time, food, water, etc.. if you need a reliable sitter I would highly recommend Emily!”
“It's been a minute since I used Rover (eight or nine years goes by quick). I had a great Rover sitter out West many years ago when there was no whites on his face, butt, and paws. He was just a black pup then. He walked, ran, and leapt pain-free. 'Mack', like his owner, has just simply gotten older, and is described with whatever adjectives come with the word, 'old' since. Enter Angela. I reached out to her a couple weeks before I was leaving for a week, and she responded promptly. She came to my house a few days later, over the weekend, to meet him. Mack is vocal, overly so at times, and is protective of me, in spite of my attempts to dissuade that behavior, constantly, for 13 years. Get near me, he barks. Just the way it is. Angela gave him a treat here and there while being unwavered and kind to him. He was nipping her heels as I showed her around my place... ...still unwavered and kind. I knew she was the right person, and she took the job which was staying at my house with him for a week. She walked the old man every day, took excellent care of my house (absolutely not asked of her), easily navigated a farmer's dog diet, and fired happy/action pictures of my dog to me every evening. He was definitely loved. He showed his belly in return. He doesn't do that for just anyone. I could tell he was kinda bummed it was me in charge again when I returned. I wanna keep Angela to myself, but it's only fair to recommend her. She's responsible, beyond trustworthy, and truly great with doggies! Highly recommended!”
About: I have always taken care of dogs and cats throughout my whole life. I grew up with a Rottweiler lab, beagle and two black cats. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I currently am living and working remotely on Cape Cod. Enjoy staying active in my free time. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large yard. I also live with my fiance who is a registered nurse! We keep our home clean and tidy for any pets who stay.
“Caroline was great, extremely professional. She took great care of our dog Buddy while we were away. Furthermore, she took great care of our apartment and plants as well. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Working professional on Cape starting Rover to exercise more and be with animals! Your pup or kitty come first: what are the instructions we talked about? What’s their mood/temperament at this visit? How many cute pics can I get before my phone storage is full again? Jokes aside, your pets routine and health/safety are what I’m here to maintain — I’ll communicate, play, chat while I give them meds wrapped in peanut butter — you name it, I am paying attention to them. I am in it for the quality animal time! I spent my childhood with horses and learned young how deeply connected we are to our animals. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life until lately. I’d be delighted to meet some of you here on Cape to watch over your little ones! I work full time and am available for dog walks reliably all weekend and after work. I accept weekend dog boarding. Cat boarding I accept throughout the week in addition to weekends. The animal comes first, simple as that. I offer dog walks around Cape, in home visits to feed and play in the yard, and selective boarding of pups in my own home as that’s limited to weekends only. I offer house visits to kitties as well as selective boarding in my own home. Each scenario is unique — let’s chat!
“Wonderful and caring. I’m so happy to have found such a great person to watch over my two dogs. It helped to make our time away less stresssful for us all. Thank you Karen!”
“Taigh was a lifesaver - he responded immediately to my last-minute request for help to watch our little dog and stay at our house for the long weekend. He took great care of both the dog and our house, kept us posted as to our dog's goings on, and even had his mom check in on the dog when he was going to be at work for a long stint. We really appreciated the photos and texts with updates, as well as with his stripping the bed and washing the sheets. We would definitely recommend Taigh and plan to use him again for future pet/house sitting needs.”
“Dana was an A++ sitter, and I can't recommend her more highly. Our two pups loved her immediately! Our older dog has dementia and a heart condition, requiring a lot of care and medication--Dana handled it like a pro. She also send us pictures and updates regularly. Knowing that our dogs were in such capable hands allowed us to really enjoy our weekend away.”
“Paige was fantastic! We have a Jack Russell mix who has a lot of energy and needs to go out and walk and play a lot! Also, because of a health condition, requires a bit more care and has to be very regimented. Paige took care of everything! I was able to enjoy my vacation without any worry or hesitation that my girl would be cared for like she was Paige’s own! Bonus — She sent me pics everyday! Paige will be my go to and I would recommend her to any and everyone!”
“Iben and Trevor were great! Our two pups loved all the cuddles, hikes and playtime. Happy to host them in our home while we were on vacation (helped our dogs feel much less anxious staying in their own beds in our home); they sent us lots of photos and videos and helped us feel comfortable being away from our pups.”
About: Hi my name is Ali! I have taken care of dogs since Sumer of 2023. For people that live around me. I can walk, feed and spend the nights with them for however long you need! :). I am very flexible with time! I can do any days of the week for your pet as needed! It can be morning or night:) I will take them for desired time for walking, feeding, and household care if necessary. I am also willing to stay overnight when necessary for care.
“Jackie is an excellent, highly dependable, compassionate dog sitter and we would highly recommend her! She took great care of our golden, Cam, who loved his special one on one time with her. She spoiled him with great walk, massages and treats for the week we were gone. We enjoyed the pics and updates, knowing he was in the best hands. I think Cam was disappointed to have his holiday with Jackie end but we look forward to having her back again. Thank you Jackie! Two paws up from Cam🥰”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs as well as friends and family. They’ve been all sizes from big to small and all different breeds. I’ve also had a family dog and cat my whole life and I’ve helped to care for them ever since I was little. I’m currently working to find a new job after doing seasonal work, so I have ample time currently. Once I find a job I will likely be off weekends with the most free time then. I live with my parents and they have a fully fenced in yard, perfect for roaming and running around to play if your pet came to stay.
“Rachael was AMAZING! She took such incredible care of our Daisy while we were away. We loved the endless supply of photos and Daisy loved all of the long walks and snuggles. We felt incredibly comfortable having her stay at the house and she left it spotless. We highly recommend Rachael! It was obvious that Daisy was even sad to see her leave, but we know we will gladly use her again!”
About: With a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience, I bring a level of care and understanding that goes beyond the basics. I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter for over two years, where I gained experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—including those who needed extra patience and love. This experience taught me how to read canine body language, build trust, and handle all kinds of situations calmly and confidently. I’m also entering my third year working at a dog daycare, where I manage group play sessions, monitor behavior, and ensure each dog is safe, engaged, and happy throughout the day. I’ve worked with puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable tailoring care to meet each dog's unique needs. What sets me apart is my commitment to treating every dog like my own—whether we’re going for a walk, spending the night, or just sharing a moment of calm. You can trust that your dog will not only be cared for but genuinely loved. I currently work at a dog daycare everyday other than Wednesday 8 AM to 5 PM, I have a lunch break from 12 PM to 2 PM, and I’m happy to do quick drop-ins or walks during that time if you’re nearby. I'm fully available on weekends and Wednesdays for dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight stays. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a weekend buddy, or some loving company while you're away, I’m here to help! Whether your dog is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, their comfort and well-being come first. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I will treat your home and your pup with complete respect. I follow all your instructions closely, from feeding to medication to where your dog likes to nap. I keep things tidy and make sure your dog feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
About: I have been a dog owner of all different breeds since childhood. I'm also a dog walker for the local community and enjoy every minute of it. I look forward to making some new furry friends and will treat them like my own. Please share as many details as you can about your pup, so I can care for them well. Thank you for your interest. I work for myself, so have plenty of time for pup care. Although I cannot accommodate pups at my home, I can take them to the beach and trails down the road from my home. I can also travel with them easily to anywhere preferred. I currently do not have the ability to house pups. For now my availability is strictly coming to the home for walks or pet sitting.
“Panny was great! Joy needs seizure medicine and can get picky about taking her pills. Panny brought cream cheese to tempt her and it worked. He was great with the dogs and left the house was neat when I got home. I would definitely use him again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Wellfleet is $75
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Wellfleet
Sasha was great with Riley and kept her happy and fully exercised while I was out of town! They were extremely helpful and communicative, especially as we had to be creative on how to deal with winter storm Hernando in the midst of their stay. Thanks so much Sasha!
Kendra was very positive and responsible and our anxious dog Bonnie was very calm when we returned, which showed she had been comfortable with Kendra. Kendra brought her charming young daughter with her to dog sit which limited how long and how often she could walk Bonnie.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Wellfleet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 240 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Wellfleet. 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 South Wellfleet 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 South Wellfleet 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 South Wellfleet 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.

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.
