“Kait went above and beyond to make sure Nessie was comfortable and very well taken care of. She was extremely easy to communicate with and shared updates throughout her stay with our girl. I would Highly recommend Kait, she is amazing!!”
About: I'm new on Rover, but over the past 15 years, I have provided dedicated pet sitting services for a wide variety of families, including those living on military bases. My experience spans everything from large, powerful breeds to timid rescues to small dogs with big personalities (yes, "little dog syndrome" included!). This extensive background, combined with owning a high energy Brittany Spaniel and a gentle Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has given me a deep, well rounded understanding of different breed temperaments, sizes, and personalities, from confident big dogs to nervous rescues to feisty little ones. I know how to build trust with a rescue that needs extra patience, redirect a small dog's big attitude, and safely manage a large dog's strength and energy. Whether your dog needs vigorous exercise, specialized attention, or careful adherence to specific neighborhood boundaries, I bring the experience, trust, and reliability needed to keep your pets safe, happy, and completely at ease. I operate on a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to adapt completely to whatever your pup's routine looks like. Because I work with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to dedicate plenty of time and structured care to your dog. Whether they need energetic play sessions, a long walk to explore, or just a cozy spot on the couch to relax, I adapt completely to whatever your pup's routine looks like. When your pup is with me, you can expect regular text updates and plenty of cute photos so you can have total peace of mind! Safety is my absolute top priority, and I treat every guest pup with the exact same vigilance and care that I give my own two dogs. Because I have 15 years of pet sitting experience including caring for pets throughout different communities I am highly disciplined, respect home rules, and am deeply familiar with maintaining strict safety guidelines and neighborhood boundaries. In My Care & Environment: 📍 Supervised and Secure: Pets under my care are never left unattended in unsecured areas. I am extremely mindful of door safety, ensuring pups are secure before any entryways are opened. 🐾 Tailored to Their Needs: With a high energy Brittany and a gentle Cavalier of my own, plus years of experience with large breeds, rescues, and small dogs with big personalities, I know how to keep energetic dogs safely stimulated, help nervous rescues settle in and feel secure, and give small or sensitive dogs the patience and structure they need to feel completely protected and relaxed. 📸 Clear Communication: I believe trust is built through transparency. You will receive regular check ins, updates, and photo updates so you always know your baby is safe, happy, and thriving. 📋 Strict Adherence to Routines: Whether your pup has specific dietary restrictions, precise medication schedules, or distinct boundary training rules, I follow your instructions down to a T. My goal is to provide a reliable, peaceful, and incredibly safe environment so you can travel with absolute peace of mind!
“Brooke is an absolute peach. She is very friendly and kind. We have a rescue dog that can be very difficult to work with and she was able to connect with him very easily. She did everything we asked for and more! You can tell that she absolutely loves animals and truly cares for their well being. We will gladly have Brooke come back if we need help! - Barbara and Jon”
“Cecilia was fantastic. She took great care of our elder pup. letting us know how he did with food, walks, etc. Very attentive to details (which are many with a senior pup). We have already booked her again!”
“Eva's care and devotion for Stella (and my home) exceeded all expectations. This was my first experience with a dog sitter in my home (rather than friend/family) and I'm grateful Rover helped me find Eva. I'm happy to provide more information about my experience with anyone who'd like that.”
“Carolyne was able to help me out with a last minute sit and took great care of my dog. Will use her again and greatly appreciate her. Smokey is looking forward to hanging out with her again in the future.”
“We had such a great experience with Nikki! She was incredibly flexible with our last-minute request, super communicative, and so helpful throughout everything. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pup with her and would absolutely recommend Nikki to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind!”
About: I love all kinds of pets and am local to cape cod. I am an engineer in Falmouth and would love to watch your pets while you are away. I have had dogs for 15 years and have watched cats for weeks at a time. I work in falmouth so I can come home on lunch breaks and stay full time other than that. I normally walk dogs in the morning before work and on lunch breaks, then take them to the park after work. I will work with pet parents to come up with a plan that works for each pet! I have a big house and a nice big yard. I live near a big field and the beach they can go to as long as its not the high tourist season.
“Great communication, lots of pictures and video showing a happy pup. Followed care instructions to a T and took great care of the house. Definitely will be asking her again.”
About: Life long animal lover looking for some extra furry snuggles. Let me take care of your baby! I am located in the Forestdale area of Sandwich. I do have one dog of my own a very sweet and energetic Australian cattle dog and shepherd mix named Scottie. He is friendly with most dogs, as long as they are friendly in return. I take care of both dogs & cats. I am comfortable with small, medium and large size dogs. I have had cats, a bunny and a family dog growing up so I am used to being around lots of animals. I am also experienced with senior dogs as well as medication administration. I also have experience with e-collar training if that is something you wish to work on with your dog. I recently stepped away from my full time job so my availability is very open. Please reach out to me and let me know about you and your pets needs. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you both! I recently stepped away from my full time job in the culinary industry so my schedule is quite open and flexible. I have AM & PM availability. I have a dog of my own and have had multiple family pets over the years. I have always struggled with trustworthy and reliable pet care so it is my goal to provide exactly that for you.
About: Making dog friends brings me great joy- every time I dogsit, the experience sticks with me. I have also grew up around pets since I was a young child. Once my time with your pets is booked, they are my priority! I am able to spend as much of the day as you need hanging out with them. If I have any known commitments that overlap with my stay, it’ll be talked over with you prior. I can adapt to any situation necessary for your pet. If I have any specific rules of yours to follow, they will be my priority. Your pets safety matters to me just as much as their happiness. Both are top of my list!:)
“Danielle was wonderful!! She was so accommodating and such a life-saver. She took great care of my two kitties and of the house, and was very communicative. She was caring, competent, and overall a wonderful sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of peoples pets since I was 14. I have two golden retrievers, one of which I have had since I was 6, so I am experienced with high energy pups! I also have one cat who is a little prickly so I am experienced with difficult cats. My mom says I have a “way with animals” and I would love to meet yours! I am a recent college grad so my schedule is pretty open as I look for a full time job. I can work weekends and weekdays- day or night! Pets in my care are always guaranteed a fun time! I am energetic and love to play. I always stick to regular feeding and bathroom times to ensure the best care!
“Nikki was a wonderful sitter for our pup! She stayed in our home and was so communicative and respectful of our space. She gave our pup all the love and attention, and we could tell she got plenty of exercise. Will definitely be booking with Nikki again!”
“Grace is one of those lovely, kind, animal-loving people you just want to have around your dogs. She intuitively understands them and brings her Vet Tech medical experience to the stay, which is great. My dogs were immediately at ease with her!”
About: I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter since I was 13. I’ve always had a great time walking and house sitting the dogs. I love all animals. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love throughout the day I have a fenced-in yard and live in a private, quiet community with a great neighborhood for walks. I provide a safe, comfortable environment and will always follow your pet’s normal routine and your care instructions

Cecilia took great care of our senior pup for four days/nights, and was excellent in accommodating his rather persnickety dining preferences, e.g., needing to try different foods for every meal. She also took great care of our house, even washing the bedding. Thank you Cecilia - from us and from Melvin!
Laurel watched our 4 1/2 year old beagle and house-sat while we were away on an international vacation. This was our first experience on Rover and with someone staying at the house to watch our dog (our previous sitter got a new job). Laurel was amazing! She was very responsive from the beginning and was more than willing to come to the suburbs for a meet and greet. While we were away she took excellent care of our little guy. She took him on plenty of walks, played with him, and sat with him in his favorite spot in the yard. She even left the house in great shape! It was as clean as when we left!! Overall Laurel was a great sitter and we would highly recommend. We will definitely use her again!!
Carly was a dream come true for us! She took care of our mini dachshund in our home for 2 weeks and we don’t have one negative thing to say about her! She taught our dog new things, took her for several walks a day, followed her schedule perfectly and gave her more love and cuddles than we could have hoped for! Not only did she do all of this, but when we came home we came home to a beautifully bathed pup. a nice clean home, sheets changed on the bed and everything ready for us to take over. She is the best in the industry!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Falmouth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Falmouth. 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 West Falmouth 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 West Falmouth 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 West Falmouth 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 West Falmouth. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
