“Would highly recommend anyone to use Paige for dog sitting. Our dogs Herman and Ariel took a liking to Paige instantly. Paige was very attentive and playful with the dogs. I would use Paige again when we come back to the Cape next year!!!”
“Emily was extremely caring and attentive to my sweet pup Riley. She cared for her for over a week while I was out of the country with limited reception. When I came home the place was spotless and my pup was happy. Thank you Emily!”
“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!”
“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!”
“While we were away for a medical procedure, our 15 year old dog became quite ill, requiring lots of attention and complex caregiving — and house cleaning — as well as comforting. Caitlin managed all parts of this VERY difficult booking, which was much more than she bargained for, with competence and grace , and kept her safe and comfortable while we scheduled the Vet and raced home. We were so relieved to have such close and competent attention for our little girl, and grateful for Caitlin‘s grace and confidence at a precarious time. We can’t say enough good about Caitlin and we can’t thank herenough.”
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.
“Brielle was an absolute delight to work with! She arrived on time, communicated with me to let me know my dog had settled and that he finished his dinner. When I arrived home, my dog was calm and comfy!! 10 out of 10 recommend her!!!”
“Caroline was amazing! Took the time before housesitting for an in depth phone call and then a meet and greet with Charley to go over all details. Was wonderful with our dog, taking her on daily hikes and adventures and sending lots of communication and photos. Treated our home like her own, even watering our plants while we were away! Definitely recommend!!”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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🥰”
“Ashley looked after our dog and two cats (house sitting) for 4 nights and was fantastic. The animals took to her quickly, communication was excellent, the dog got nice long walks, and I came back to a house that was cleaner than I left it. We will definitely be repeat clients - its such a relief to know we have a responsible sitter we can count on.”
“Paige is a fabulous sitter. She meets the dogs' needs, shares updates, and keeps everything in order. Our younger dog is very anxious, and he seems so relaxed when we come home that we know that she is a great fit for him. We appreciate how well she takes care of everything, and she has watched our dogs multiple times. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Nikki took great care of our dog, Maverick, treating him like her own. She was very honest, respectful and responsible while caring for our dog and staying in our home for several days. She provided photos and updates. Would definitely recommend and hope to use her services again.”
About: I have always loved animals since I was very young. With my family being highly allergic to dogs and cats, my greatest desire was to know and love the pets around me so I could fill the desire of wanting a dog for so long. I grew up with birds and have years of avian care under my wing. I have ridden and cared for horses for many years, can feed and muck stalls, change waters, and take care of livestock and poultry too. I have had to medicate all pets in my 20 years of experience and can offer meds to even the most sensitive pets. I love to pamper senior animals and take my time with them. I have watched snakes, chameleons, bearded dragons, maintained fish aquariums, and fed koi through ice in the middle of winter. I am happy to set up a consultation with you to meet your pet who needs a sitter! Thank you for considering me! Stay warm out there! Hannah I work nights part-time, so I will be able to feed your pet before I leave for the night shift. I am available for daytime walks and check ins. I am patient, quiet, and usually let them come to me first. I reward all positive interactions with treats if approved by the owner and will reach out to you as often as you would like with updates on your baby while you’re away.
About: Dear Pet owners, My name is Dave and have been watching pets now for about 10 years on and off. Mostly local and for friends and family. Now that I've discovered Rover I'd like to branch out a bit and meet new four-legged friends and their owners too. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around their neighborhoods, local conservation sites and to the beaches in the off-season. I've taken care of both cats and dogs and houses and plants too, at all times of the year. I know the area fairly well and I enjoy the elements no matter what they bring here in New England. I'm good at following specific diet rules as many of our pets are picky and some may get sickly otherwise. I enjoy playing with pups and lounging with the older dogs too. I'm fairly flexible when it comes to where I'm staying if it's overnight and not shy when it comes to cleaning up after a pets mess here and there. Overall I like dogs and cats, we seem to get along well and we often have a good time and they are always well taken care of while they're owners are away.
About: I am a friendly, professional 43 year old artist and mom. I have been taking care of various dog breeds since I was 10 years old, starting with three feisty Dalmatian puppies who grew into show dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs of my family with various injuries and age disabilities which required heavy lifting and constant care and special diet needs. I am adept in feeding, crate training, walking, playing, health issues. I have been dog walking/sitting for neighbors, friends and family dogs throughout college in Boston, graduate school in Chicago and as and artist in New York City. Most recently my sister and I had a freelance dog walking business based around South Dartmouth, Martha's Vineyard and New Bedford, MA. I am an absolute dog lover--reliable,athletic, attentive, patient, calm under pressure and adaptable in various environments. I am available for long walks for athletic dogs, playing with your pup, devoting attention and care to senior dogs, dog sitting at home, quick jaunts for the day, or anywhere in between! I am a freelance artist living in Hyannis, MA and am very flexible to dog walking or sitting 7 days a week, very early morning throughout the day till evenings. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and feeding as frequently as needed for various dog sizes, ages, and health, exercise and time requirements in a client's home and am very comfortable with any outdoor local environment.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Truro on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 282 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Truro. 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 Truro 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 Truro 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 Truro 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 Truro. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
