About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care As a college student at mass maritime, I have class for at least a few hours every day with some days being longer but I can definitely work around my classes to give your pets the best care I will follow any rules and care instructions you give, also I won’t snoop around or go anywhere in your house that you don’t want me to be.
About: I love to walk, but it's more fun with a dog in tow! I grew up with dogs, but I started boarding, pet-sitting, and walking dogs for friends and coworkers in college and I loved helping owners care for their pets. I have experience caring for senior dogs with medical needs, large breeds with higher exercise needs, and puppies. I have experience walking dogs that are aggressive towards other pets as well. If your pet needs more exercise than your busy schedule allows, I'm your girl! Just reach out and let's get your pup walked! I work as a seasonal biologist and I'm looking to take on some pet care during the off-season. I'm very flexible at the moment and can work around your busy schedule! You can rest assured I will care for your pet like they are my own! I feel passionately about letting dogs enjoy their walks, i.e. letting them sniff! No dragging along here. I am happy to cater to your pet's needs, whether they are dietary or behavioral. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate boarding at this time.
“Ashley was amazing! She watched our girl Nala for the long weekend so we could travel back home. She not only took Nala on multiple walks a day and gave her lots of enrichment, she also came back for an extra walk the last day when our plane was getting in later. She left the house in perfect condition and our dog seems so content !”
“Hannah was amazing with our elderly pup, I would highly recommend her. She kept us updated and sent pictures which were not necessary but so nice because we have never left our 12 year old lab with anyone before! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Yassy house sat for my dog and two cats for over a week and a half while I was out of the country. She was excellent at keeping a consistent schedule and was quick to ask questions when something wasn't clear. Feedback I would offer her is to send more frequent updates / pictures versus me having to check in, but all in all it was a pleasure. Definitely set my mind at rest with my fur babies.”
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter with 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I’m comfortable watching multiple dogs at once while making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have experience administering oral medications, supporting dogs with special needs (including helping care for a blind dog), and adjusting care routines to fit each pet’s personality and abilities. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my top priorities. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats and guinea pigs, so I’m happy to help out in multi-pet households. I am a dog groomer, which has strengthened my understanding of dog behavior, handling, and overall pet wellness. I am available most of the day. I am working as a dog groomer so when I am not working with a dog I am available for pet care! It easy to work my schedule around what a pet parent may need! I can easily crate your dog if needed. I will keep your animal in designated areas if directed to do so. I am comfortable walking any size dog or if you have a fenced in yard I can watch your dog there.
“Olivia was very communicative with me throughout the weekend, giving me updates and pictures. She followed and and checked in for any special directions about Gus and Hazel and my house. Gus and Hazel love staying with Olivia. Thank you!”
“Heather took great care of our 6 month old puppy while we were on vacation for a week. He stayed at her house and she sent daily pictures/videos and he looked happy and well taken care of. My daughter was concerned that he would not want to come home because it looked like he was having too much fun. Heather is fantastic and we will definitely be a repeat client. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was ten years old. I can take care of dogs of any size or activity level. I do not have any formal dog training but I have spent lots of time on YouTube educating myself when I was training my own dogs. I have two fluffy labs (ages 6 and 2, they live at home with my parents, they are our family dogs). I have had animals my whole life and see them as just another family member who needs taking care of. I enjoy going on long walks and usually asks friend if I can take their dog with me for some company. My home is very dog safe and dog friendly :) I currently work part-time as a banquet caterer at the essex resort and spa. I am available 7 days a week to dogwalk, housesit and/or board dogs at my house! I do not have a fenced in yard. Any dog leaving my apartment with me is leashed. A quick bathroom break is usually taken by just walking around the block but any walk I usually hop in the car and drive to centennial park/east woods or go down to the waterfront. I can house uncrated dogs as well as crated dogs if one is supplied.
About: Hi, im Soléna and I’m a big animal lover! I work in the service industry and I have a pretty flexible schedule to help walk your pups. I have experience with puppies, small, and large breed dogs. My 90lb Anatolian shepherd, Violet, is an 11yo that I have had since she was 9 weeks from the rescue. I'm currently working part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available to come by 3x a day on work days, and 4x a day on days off. I do not offer a boarding option for my home. My dog as she's gotten elderly can be reactive to other dogs in her space. For walks, depending on behavioral notes, we would avoid other animals on the street, i.e. crossover, and avoid areas largely populated with dogs.
About: I am fun, loving, and caring especially when it comes to pets! I am a big dog lover and grew up with dogs, but also had a cat when I was younger!! I work from home and need to get out of the house as much as the dog does! I have super flexible hours and can’t wait to meet new furry friends. I am very active! I always provide love and attention to all pets! I make sure they are cared for often and at the right times. They deserve all the love!

I am available all day for the days that aren’t listed as available on the calendar. It fits into my routine perfect to attend to pets needs and be patient with them. I will make sure and be on top of keeping them safe, fed, hydrated, and protected. Anything that poses a risk to help them escape will be closed off.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15! I’ve had pets all my life growing up though! My neighbors, friends, and family, have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give cuddles to their pups! I currently am working part time as I just started a new job, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them some exercise! My home has a fenced in dog park that i’m sure your dog would love to run around in and get some energy out! If your dog is better on a leash and loves to walk and sniff around your area I am happy to do that as well! I just want to be able to give your pup a safe and happy visit 😊
About: As a vet tech working toward becoming a veterinarian, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, exotics, and farm animals, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs a long walk, extra playtime, medication, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands. My schedule can vary from week to week, but I do my best to remain flexible and work with each pet owner’s needs. I’m happy to create a consistent routine that works best for you and your pet, whether that’s daily visits, overnight care, or occasional drop-ins. Clear communication is important to me, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible! I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical needs to ensure they receive the best care possible. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether during drop-in visits or extended care, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and compassionate care.
About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, happy and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for my own pets and am comfortable with routines, attention, and companionship they need. I'm currently employed fulltime as a probation officer, but I am retiring in the near future, and I will have more time to devote to being a pet sitter. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having a relaxed schedule and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets would be something I genuinely look forward to rather than a chore. I am happy to build my day around their needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship and attention. I also understand that pets do best when their normal routines are maintained, so I'll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable while you're away. I enjoy exploring new places, but I am equally happy spending time at home with a furry companion. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. When caring for pets in someone's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure pets receive their meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Most importantly, I want pet owners to feel confident that their pets are being cared for by someone responsible, dependable, and genuinely happy to be there. I understand that every pet has different need and personalities, so I take time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. I am also respectful of the home and keep things clean and tidy.

The average cost of House Sitting in Wareham is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $81 per night.

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 Wareham 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 Wareham 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 Wareham 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.
