“Grace is the absolute best!! We have a whole farm here and she handles them all excellently. Even our one dog who doesn't particularly love anyone but Mom and Dad cannot get enough of Grace.”
“Lily was terrific! She was enthusiastic and caring with Bailey and Beau and was a great communicator with us about details concerning our home and the pups needs. Would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby. I believe all animals should be treated like they are you own even if they are temporary I live in a quiet cozy apartment with a big yard in the back. There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture
“Maura and Will treated Ozzie like he was part of the family! He felt right a home at their house, and I believe thoroughly enjoyed having another canine companion to play with. Maura will be my go-to any time I travel in the future.”
About: ✨ Schedule & Availability I currently maintain a full-time position but please do not hesitate to reach out and we can talk about options to accommodate your pets needs. ‼️Currently can only guarantee afternoon services on Monday and Tuesday. ✅House sitting includes Morning and Evening services with overnight care. ✨My Experience I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years, I have multiple years of providing care to clients, and volunteered with animal rescue and shelter organizations. I currently work full-time, but I still maintain availability outside of my work schedule for pet care, drop-ins, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I’m reliable with routines and make sure pets receive the attention, consistency, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention to their individual comfort level and routine. I’m experienced with shy pets, senior animals, anxious pets, and pets that may need a calmer approach or extra time to adjust. I always prioritize safety, clean environments, secure doors/leashes, and careful attention to instructions so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for like family.
“Brigid was excellent!! She cared for my dog like he was her own. She gave him his meds on time and kept communicating with me while she was caring for him by sendings pics everyday! I would hire her again!! Thanks Brigid for taking care of my boy with love and caring for his needs!!”
“Ashley is a wonderful dog and house sitter! She took great care of Sadie for a week while we were out of town. She did everything I requested and was always very kind and courteous. The house looked exactly how we left it. Not a thing out of place. She is very trustworthy and highly dependable. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have 8 animals of my own, both dogs and cats. I also work part time as a Kennel Technician so I am very familiar with different animal personalities and how I’m expected to care for them! Neighbors, friends, family & clients have relied on me to care for their furry friends and I’ve loved getting to know each one. I am pet CPR & First aid Certified. I work as a nanny from 11-5 as well as dog sitting overnights frequently. I work as a nanny from 11-5 in Southampton. College is online so that won’t be a problem right now. My scheduled days can change but shifts are no longer than 6 hours at a time, Mon-Fri. I live in Sayville. I have plenty of time in the morning & afternoon for long walks and fetch! My weekends are completely free. I will take wonderful care of your pets as if they were my own. My pups love to play outside and get lots of attention so I want to share the love!! It’s always fun getting to know your dogs and cats. I have built a trusted clientele over the last 3 years of being on Rover. I am very responsible and will care for your house just as well as your pets! I know it takes a lot to entrust someone in your home so I won’t let you regret it.
“Maranda was fantastic. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. She was quick to learn and work with the idiosyncrasies of our two cats, took care of our house which was immaculate when we returned and communicated with us while away as much/or as little as we requested. She is very personable, respectful and responsive.”
“Michael was AMAZING. It’s so hard leaving your dog behind but he made it so easy. He spent such good time with her, gave her all the love she needed - plus gave thoughtful updates throughout our stay. Best experience we’ve had!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.
About: Before joining Rover I mainly provided my services through word of mouth. I have experience with providing basic medical care for dogs and cats, and training experience including potty training and easing separation anxiety. I have vast experience and knowledge on various breeds and their specific needs, and really just love being able to have the time and availability to be able to provide these services. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but in my case, a dog has always been a woman’s best friend! I offer dog sitting, walking, training and boarding at my home as well. I am brand new to the app but I do have plenty of references and want to make all owners feel just as comfortable as I want to ensure their pets will feel with me! I currently work a part-time job from my home, so I have a flexible schedule and able to meet any needs your pet has. I am available everyday, all hours mainly, and can accommodate you and your pets schedule! In my home all pets are welcome. I have plenty of walking trails and a back yard for pets that stay at my home. I typically will customize the walks, food, bathing etc depending on the needs of the pet and what works best for them and the owner.
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter, having been booking sits on another site for over ten years. I run a business based in Kathmandu Nepal and travel there frequently so am kind of nomadic when I’m in the US and cannot have animals. This breaks my heart! Please share yours with me! I've owned and trained many dogs over the years. I have opinions about how to do this but will respect your style. I just want to have one (or a few) around me while I work and walk and relax. I'm good at walking dogs on a lead, though always prefer if they can run. There’s little that can fill my heart so much as dogs running and playing. I have many great reviews on the other site and am happy to screenshot them and send them on to you. I work from (your) home so can spend lots of time loving your animals. Some dogs have spent hours lying on my feet while I work. Some ask to go out, and then in, every half hour, which gives me a chance to move. Of course, a good walk is always in order and snuggles if that's their preference. I can share many photos and reviews with you of my pet sitting over the years. I have earned a great deal of trust from clients both in animal care and in tending their home.
About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Trappe. 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 Trappe 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 Trappe 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 Trappe 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.
