“So glad I found taylor! My life is full of last minute things and finding someone who is awesome, trustworthy and reliable on the peninsula is GOLD!. She came by to meet the dogs and the vibe was so great, my dogs settled in with her quickly. I got daily updates and pictures (sometimes I was extra and needed more, I missed them!!) She left the house clean and tidy. Even washed the sheets from the bed 🥲 left a sweet note on the counter and I truly hope she meant it when she said she would watch them anytime because... that will definitely be used! Thank you Taylor for being a sweet, kind soul, that my doggos and I trust!”
“Emily took great care of our two (very large) dogs! She also sent pictures of our cat, brought in packages, and was a big help filling in last minute when another sitter canceled. Would definitely rebook!”
“The hardest part of going away is not being able to bring your pets. I am grateful to Brittany and her great care of my pets AND my home while I was away. I was able to enjoy my time knowing that my pets were being well cared for.”
“Karen communicated wonderfully, followed our requests and send photos of the babies. We were super pleased with her and will be having her back again soon next time we are away!”
“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.”
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.
“What could go wrong went wrong with my dog while we were out of town. Dana kept me updated on everything and got him to his vet, then brought him to the hospital. She didn’t leave my dog’s side until the hospital admitted him. He was stabilized and I now have him home! Thank you, Dana for picking up on his symptoms and getting him the care he needed!”
“Dani was great. We needed a last minute booking, and she responded promptly. Our pet is a bit of a drama dog and pretty much pouts while we are away. Dani rolled with it and managed to get him to cuddle a bit. We will definitely keep Dani in mind for future bookings.”
About: A tride and true animal lover! Always had a fur baby in my life since I was a little girl. Proud Momma to Stubby and Libby my two rescue kitties. Who rescued who? I often ask myself. I began my journey working with animals when I owned and operated a homemade dog & kitty treat business. I sold my goods at the local Farmers Market. However, sadly due to Covid I was unable to continue the business. Many of my market customers began to reach out to me looking for a dog walker/per sitter. So….one thing led to another and here I am! I now do this full time. And I am being 100% honest when I say - I absolutely LOVE my work! Each animal I care for is so special to me! Ive had some clients since they were tiny puppies. It’s amazing watching them grown up and being a part of their lives! I also always go the extra mile. If my schedule allows I stay beyond the booking time too. Caring, loving, devoted...our pets are surely members of our family. They deserve unconditional love in return for their loyalty. I vow to give your fur babies the same love and attention I shower on all the dogs and cats in my life. Flexible and available all the time and at night. Very flexible! Can also do last minute appointments if emergencies arise. This is my full time job! Plus being a mom. I dedicate all time and attention to animals and my kids. I have flexibility in my day to accommodate all of your needs and requests. I can start early since my kids are up and out for school by 7:15 am. I always go the extra mile! I grow very attached to the animals I care for. And I alway stay longer than the allotted visit time if my schedule allows.
About: I've had dogs my whole life and volunteer weekly at an adoption center, walking various different breeds and ensuring they get the care they need and the necessary exercise. I am currently a student and look forward to taking care of pets and providing them with the care they need. I have had a passion for taking care of animals ever since I was really little and cannot wait to provide pets with my services! I have had a multitude of pet experiences and will watch for signs from your dog to ensure their best care. In my own home pets are like family and your pets will be treated as such.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Wellfleet
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 216 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
