“Sheila is incredible!! I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to have found her through Rover. She took excellent care of my dogs while I was away on business and sent me such a detailed report afterward which was greatly appreciated. She is kind, respectful, and excellent with animals. I am so happy that I can rely on her from now on when I have to travel for work or need someone to help me with my pets.”
“Kristen was the best!! She took such great care of our puppy during our wedding day. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing she was safe and having fun!”
“Emily was flexible, communicative & took very good care of our doggos. They both were happy to see us when we returned but we didn’t get that disapproving look when we’ve left them alone too long 😆. Thank you Emily! I’m sure the girls would love to see you again.”
“Jose provided incredible, consistent care for our sweet senior cat. He checked in on her daily for 3 weeks while we were away, paid extra attention to her cleanliness and nourishment, and provided reassuring updates and photos. We couldn’t be more grateful! Will book him again anytime :)”
“Sarah took excellet care of my dog, cat, and the house, sent lots of pictures and communicated often. Very much appreciated because this was our first visit with Sarah so I'm always a little nervous. Would definintely book again.”
“Stefanie was great! My cat is not an easy customer but Stefanie got the job done exactly as I asked, while giving my kitty the space she needs. I was able to have peace of mind while I was away on vacation.”
About: I have cared for pets my whole life and frequently care for friend’s pets when needed. I have a home in Yarmouth, work remotely full time and always open to caring for pets in their own home if preferred. I have an amazing cat of my own that loves other animals. I also have a 16 year old daughter that has helped raise dogs & cats since she was a baby. I look forward to connecting with you and caring for your fur baby! I currently have a work from home schedule, Monday through Friday with flexible availability for pet care in between. I own my home in Yarmouth. I have a very big yard with a runner for pups that enjoy being outside. I have the ability to keep kitties indoors if preferred. Plenty of space in my home to care for pets.
“Absolutely amazing! Incredible amount of attention to detail, goes way above and beyond, reports on every little thing and sends lots of great photos. I could tell she seriously cared about Chauncey and will care about each fuzzo she cares for! Couldn't be more enthusiastic in my recommending Elizabeth 💯👍💯👍”
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 am self employed, so have plenty of flexibility for pup care. Although I cannot accommodate pups at my home, I can take them to the local beaches and trails. Car rides welcomed 🐶 I currently do not have the ability to house pups. For now my availability is strictly coming to the home for walks and/or pet sitting.
“Meg is our go-to for reliable pet care. Her attention to detail and daily communications make our vacations more enjoyable; we don't have to worry about our fur kids when she's at the helm. Thank you Meg!!”
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring years of dedicated pet care experience to ensure your furry companions thrive. As a proud owner of two happy, healthy rescue dogs, I understand the importance of love, patience, and a safe environment in fostering their well-being. Your pets are not just animals; they're family, and I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve. I am currently taking some time off from the 9 to 5 grind so I have a great deal of flexibility and willingness to accommodate your schedule! I have a large fenced in yard and a very dog- friendly home complete with strategically placed baby gates for any canine guests requiring space from my fur-babies ❤️
“Sue was fantastic! Our dog Bailey, and two cats felt very comfortable with her. She even sent pictures! Excellent critter sitter! Looking forward to having her back again and would highly recommend her to others. Thanks Sue ???”
“Sharon was great! Our dogs were happy and safe when we got home. We were super grateful that she could accommodate our timing and for giving us local guidance on travel times. Sharon clearly loves dogs and is a true find!”

I highly recommend Stefanie! I have used her several times now and she is my first choice to look in on my cat in my absence. She responds quickly and can handle some last minute requests. She is trustworthy and reliable, and I endorse her without reservation. She’s the best!
We are grateful and appreciate the care that Sally gave to our cat Sophie while we were away. We returned home to a relaxed kitty. Sophie is an old cat. We've had her for two years, and have never left her for longer than twelve hours. We would recommend Sally to anyone who has to leave their pet overnight. Sally also took the time before we even booked with Rover to determine whether the best care for Sophie would be drop in visits or care in Sally's home. The decision was drop in care. Thank you Sally.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in South Yarmouth on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 597 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Yarmouth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Yarmouth stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Yarmouth. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
