“Bevin is great! This is the second time she has taken care of our dogs ( just one dog this time. She’s friendly and we appreciate that she stays in frequent communication. She asked us about a potentially odd behavior which we really appreciated. She took great care of the house and tidied up before she left. We are immensely comfortable with Bevin and hope to have her watch the dogs again soon. Thanks so much Bevin!!”
“Kathrine was amazing! She took great care of dogs and home while we were away. We would book with her again! She sent updates of our dogs each day, followed all instructions that were left, and our dogs felt safe and happy! She went above and walked them often while we were gone and even helped our pup that wasn’t feeling well in the middle of the night. She was wonderful!”
“As always, Aja communicates regularly to share how her time with Bosun is going. She provides pictures. She seems to truly enjoy coming to take care of Bosun. We appreciate Aja!”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and it's something I genuinely love. As a young, active dog owner myself, I understand that every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of fun! Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring, or curling up for belly rubs, I'll make sure they feel right at home. I treat every dog like they're part of my own family and always focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress free experience. Your best friend is in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite sitter! 🐾❤️ I currently work 9 to 5 Tuesday through Friday in Port Townsend. I could do nighttime watching/sitting after my daytime job. I am free most weekends anytime and now available on Mondays anytime. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your furry family member, so I treat both with the same respect and care I would my own. I'll stick to your dog's routine, provide plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. You'll also receive regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is happy, well cared for, and in trusted hands. My goal is for you to come home to a happy dog and a home that's been cared for just as you left it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs consistently for the past 7 years! I’ve fed, administered medication, and walked many pups of all ages for family, friends, and clients! I’m currently living out in WA. My schedule has been super free typically all year around. During the winter I will fly to Boston for work then come back here a month or so after! My goal is to bring you peace of mind about your pups or pets! I can care for them in your home as I am currently renting at the moment.
About: The Name is Yes-Purr. Shaken, Not Furred. Your pet isn’t just watched - they’re fully cared for like one of my own. With overnight stays and a flexible work-from-home schedule, I build their day around walks, play, meals, and consistent attention tailored to their personality and energy. From shy companions to social butterflies, I make sure they feel safe, settled, and genuinely at ease until you’re home again. I offer dependable, attentive pet care, which means your pet gets a calm, consistent presence throughout the day rather than rushed check-ins. My schedule allows me to integrate walks, feeding, playtime, and litter care into a steady daily rhythm, so your pet’s routine stays stable and stress-free. For dogs, I build in structured walks and breaks around my work blocks, ensuring they get regular exercise and attention between my writing and publishing tasks. For cats, I provide quiet, respectful care with regular check-ins, play, and feeding - always adjusted to their personality and comfort level. I’m flexible and responsive, while still keeping a reliable routine in place. I’m present, observant, and able to notice small changes in behavior or needs quickly. Your pet gets consistent care, your home stays respected, and you get peace of mind knowing someone responsible is there throughout the day - not just stopping by.
About: Over most of my childhood and adulthood I have pet sat for neighbors and friends. I have watched all types of dogs and even exotics. So I like to say I’m pretty well versed with all types of pets and their care. I have administered medications, dog walking, feeding, mini training sessions, cleaned litter boxes, kept the pets on a routine, and most of all showed them all my love and attention. PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING!😊🐶🐱 PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING! I’m currently looking for a part time job and would love to fit pet sitting into my schedule. My weekends are usually open for watching over your fur babies and sometimes during the work week. I work Monday -Thursday at my full time and have a three day weekend. My hours are 7:40am - 6:00pm with a two hour lunch which leaves me time to still check on pets. I definitely ask a lot of questions about your dog or cats routine and what they are used to so it’s not super stressful. I would love to get to know your pet first so they are used to me and aren’t scared. What kind of treats they like or if they have any restrictions.
“Natasha was wonderful! We met her first and knew right away she would take care of our pup with great care. While we were away, Natasha sent us daily notes and pictures of how Whisky was doing. Playing with her dog, Jasper, was an added bonus for Whisky! We will definitely be having Natasha come stay with Whisky again! Thank you Natasha! Our trip was worry free 😊”
About: I’ve had a pet (or 20) as long as I can remember but I’ve been working in the pet field professionally for 6 years now. Everything from fostering, pet care, dog training, dog walking & sitting, & working in a shelter. I also work with TNR everywhere I go. I love my scaly & feathered friends as well; I have experience across the board. I’m comfortable with bottle babies, seniors, pets with special needs (can administer most medications), & pets with high anxiety/reactivity. My schedule is completely freed up while I prepare for a cross country move so I have endless time to tend to your pets :) I strive to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you’re away! Whether that means sticking to a detailed schedule, maintaining training expectations, or simply providing extra playtime and cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I’m happy to accommodate most special instructions and quirks that help your pet feel comfortable and secure.
“Mikal was awesome. She spent extra time coming out to meet us before our reservation to make sure it was a good fit. Her dog Hoodi was patient and sweet to my leash aggressive girl. I would definitely book again if the situation arises.”
“Sierra is a totally awesome sitter! She is fantastic at communicating with you while you’re away. She is also wonderful dealing with dogs that need a little more attention and care. We are so very grateful to have found someone like her to watch our babies.”
“Margaret is the Best! She took very good care of my cat son Peanut. She even taught him how to “sit” on command. I trust Margaret in my home and in caring for my prescious Peanut. I highly recommend Margaret 😊”
About: I have a cat and dog of my own, I’ve pet sitted for weeks at a time for family and friends over the past 5 years, nothing professional but my dog is 7 and my cat is 4. They’re living happy healthy lives I’m sure I’ll have no problems taking care of yours! I am working part time, most of my shifts are 7am to 11 no set dates but I won’t accept any offers I can’t comfortably accomplish If you have a special routine please let me know, routine aside meals and water refreshments twice a day(unless more is needed) potty breaks at least 4 times a day, walk’s enrichment of all kinds throughout the day. I will listen to your animals.
“All you could ask for and more in a sitter he watched over our active 10&12yr border Collie mixes for 3days/2nights at our home. Communication was easy with quick response times, he communicated throughout with text and lovely dog tail pictures (my favorite view when walking them myself), other cute picks of the fur babies too. The dogs, especially Cameron; absolutely loved him and went bonkers when he came in the house Zoomies galore from a 12yr old 75lb dog for the win! He was respectful of the home and even took our trashcan back in without asking. We would definitely use his services again and recommend.”
“Ingrid stayed with our girls again, this time for 3 nights. She did a great job and sent me pictures and text messages to let me know how things were going. I was able to have a nice time away knowing my pups were in great hands. I will be using her services again and would highly recommend her!”
“Eunice was amazing with my golden retriever puppy! She took care of all her needs and showered her with plenty of love and attention. Communication and photo updates were provided as well to show how much fun my little pup was having. Eunice was quick to respond and I appreciate her accomodating my last-minute request. Looking forward to next time!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,440 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Uncas. 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 Uncas 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 Uncas 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 Uncas 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
