“Lexi was wonderful with our pup Remy! She was communicative, easy-going, and super nice. Lexi sent us some pictures while we were away, and it was so nice leaving him with a trusted, professional person. We will be rebooking Lexi soon!”
“Payton is incredible! Our dog had knee surgery and had some medical needs. We were nervous about leaving her with the extra work, but Payton took such amazing care of our dog. 100% would recommend hiring Payton to watch your dog. Great communication, sends photos, and treats our dog like her own.”
About: Hi! I’m Sophie, a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication (if needed), or just a calm companion, I’m happy to help. I believe in providing updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to detail, and I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I'm currently working 30 hours per week, in short shifts, i'm also a part time student. I have reliable days off and live building routine. I can easily crate and administer medication if needed, i'm able to walk and handle all dogs of varying breeds and behaviors. I love animals so any interaction is a treat!
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for years through family, friends, and neighbors. I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely love animals. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications if needed, or simply providing affection, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like they're my own. I currently work part time, and my schedule allows me to be available most afternoons after 3:00 PM, as well as early mornings, evenings and weekends. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable, consistent care and give your animals the attention they deserve. I'm happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet's routine is maintained while you're away. I have experience caring for senior dogs that require daily medication, as well as a younger dog with lots of energy. I always follow care instructions closely, stick to your pet's routine, and treat both your pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Anna was amazing. I got updates on the morning and evening with pictures of the furkids. She was amazing with my girls. Took them on long walks and gave them tons of attention. The girls are looking forward to their next stay with Anna”
About: I have volunteered at animal shelters in WA and worked alongside animal behavioralists to read canine and feline body language to gauge interests, anxiety, and pain levels. I love being able to help my client’s animals reach relaxation without being over stimulated. I’m versed in enrichment activities that alleviate stress and help the animals reconnect with their playful, trusting side! I love to make animals feel like they have a new trusted friend while their pet parents are away and to provide care that makes their owners feel like they're with family. (Disclaimer: I have a full time job working graveyard. Please keep this in consideration if you're looking to book in-home overnight pet-sitting. Thank you! Feel free to message me questions.) I live near Hanover and have reliable transportation. I have no conflicting agenda items or holidays in the near future. I do gig work to help support my best friend going to Dartmouth and have a flexible, open schedule. I try my best to plan outings with pets when the weather is best for their paws and especially if the dog is a breed prone to heat or breathing issues. I have had animals all my life of various breeds, ages, temperament, and unique needs. I have knowledge and experience through my animal shelter work on what silent pain signals or distress can look like in dogs and cats. I've administered medications before but would prefer to let the animal get to know me before providing injections. My preference is to have a meet and greet with your pet(s) ahead of the scheduled outing so they may acclimate to me and to have a brief in-person discussion to go over the scope of the service you wish to see.
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm in Vermont and have always had animals around. In high school and college, I volunteered at High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program in Sharon, Vermont and developed a love for horses. Whether it be your cat or your cow, I am excited to meet and care for your animals and home! I am currently job searching as I just finished my master's with Middlebury College, so I have plenty of availability for the summer and possibly beyond. I am comfortable caring for many different kinds of animals and I will closely follow instructions on how you wish your pet to be cared for
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter! She was incredibly communicative before and during our time away and shared lots of daily updates. Our pets seemed immediately comfortable with her and she took great care of our space. We won't hesitate to book with Taylor again!”
“Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!”
“Great, consistent communication, sent photos of my Kitty daily, along with updates. My cat is very skittish around people but Sue was eventually able to pet her, which is a big win.”
“Lisa and her partner were available last minute to stay at our home with our dog for a couple days. Our dog was immediately at ease with them and we enjoyed getting picture updates of happy snuggles, playtime, and walks. Great with communication and great with our pup - she was well cared for and relaxed and happy when we got home. All around a good experience!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and have done house sitting for 4 years. I love doing this kind of stuff. I can walk them, go for walks all that fun stuff. Im doing babysitting right now but can house sit whenever and can be with the dogs/cats whenever. I am always free to take them out whenever needed. I will watch pets in your home and or/ stay in your home for house sitting overnight. I will keep them safe and follow any rules.
“Teri took wonderful care of Sidney and Bea. They had walks every day. Teri has a great sense of humor and took Bea’s shenanigans with a grain of salt. She sent pictures every day. I could tell how happy they were with her.”
About: I have been pet sitting/houses sitting for over three years now and I love it!!! I realized after needing a dog sitter myself a few years ago that it can be really hard to find someone reliable to take care of your fur babies when you’re away so I definitely pride myself on being able to help take the stress off of being away from home. I’m a crochet artist who primarily works from home, making me highly available for pet sitting jobs. I can work from anywhere, ensuring flexibility for both you and me. I go above and beyond to provide in-home care for all your pets, ensuring their every need is met, including walks, medication administration, and plenty of love.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vershire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 129 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vershire. 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 Vershire 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 Vershire 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 Vershire 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
