“Jiselle was wonderful! We have two big crazy pups that can be a lot and she was great with them. She was on time and sent daily updates with pictures of what they did that day. It was such a relief to know our dogs were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely reach out to Jiselle in the future!”
“Sarah is so wonderful and she’s been so patient with our sick kitty! She’s gone above and beyond to try and help Emerald and keep her company without stressing her out. She’s clearly an expert in how to deal with animals and wouldn’t recommend her more. We’ll definitely book again!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabelle. Having someone stay in our home can feel like a big leap of trust, but she made the entire process completely stress-free. She kept us updated with messages, photos, and little notes about how the dogs were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for a week. It was obvious our dogs were not only well cared for, but happy and comfortable in their routine. When we returned home, everything was spotless, and the dogs were relaxed and content, it felt like we had never left. If you’re looking for someone reliable, respectful, and compassionate to care for your pets, I recommend her. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
“Dixie was fantastic! We have used a lot of different sitter, but Dixie was by far the best. She communicated regularly and clearly. She sent updates and made sure to ask all the right questions anytime something happens with our pets. Great house guest, everything was just how we left it. Will book again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Mai and Jonathan provided for our pets, Cooper and Bec, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, they gave us complete peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication. It's clear that they genuinely love animals and treated both Cooper and Bec like part of their own family. When we returned home, Cooper was happy and well cared for, and Bec was relaxed and content. Knowing that both our dog and cat were receiving such attentive, loving care allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Mai and Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, and we are so grateful for the kindness and responsibility they showed. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Cooper and Bec, we would gladly have you watch them again!”
“Alayna was amazing! She gave great care to our fur babies and gave frequent updates as well as asked great questions which reassured us that our dogs were in great care. We would love to book with her again.”
About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm almost 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible, so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡
“We’ve used Hannah multiple times and she has been fantastic every time. She’s very communicative while we’re away and always keeps us updated, which gives us great peace of mind. Our pets clearly adore her and are always happy and relaxed when we return. They love to snuggle with her, and it’s obvious she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. We would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Rachel was amazing! She’s super sweet and took such great care of our dogs and our home. My dogs felt extremely comfortable with her, which means a lot to us. She went above and beyond, she even cleaned up the room she stayed in, washed the sheets, and made the bed before leaving, which she definitely didn’t have to do. That really shows how much she cares and goes the extra mile to do things right. We absolutely love her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Serenity took wonderful care of our animals just as requested. She came a day before to meet them, was on time, and our dog took to her immediately. Would definitely rebook with her in the future is needed!”
“Sydney is the best!! She took such good care of my 4 month old puppy. She happily followed my dogs schedule, and sent multiple updates throughout the day. When I got home I could tell my pup was happy and well taken care of. Sydney is polite, professional and sweet, highly recommend!”
“Brian was very attentive with my fur babies. He was always on time for the time windows that I gave him. He listens to instructions well and handles two large babies very well. Thank you for taking good care of them Brian!”
“Natalie was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable knowing our home and pets were in such good hands while we were away. She was incredibly kind, responsible, and communicative, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to enjoy our time away knowing Natalie was there. She took great care of our pets and our home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter. We would 100% recommend Natalie and will definitely be asking her to help us again in the future!”
“Great care staying with our dogs. He kept us informed and even repaired a freeze handle I had neglected to fix before we left home. I will definitely use Mark in the future to take care of our pups.”
“Leah is absolutely amazing!! She is so kind and very thoughtful. She took such great care of our pets and our house while we were gone. 100% plan on rebooking with her for our next trip!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the people closest to me in my life. Whenever a friend or family member goes on a trip I’m usually the person they call to take care of their pet. I have experience watching dogs and cats from young puppies/kittens to senior cats/dogs. I’m comfortable giving medicine and treat the animal I’m caring for as if they’re my own. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. I make sure my pets are fed on schedule, have access to fresh water, and receive regular attention and exercise. I keep their living areas clean, monitor their behavior and eating habits, and make sure they receive the care they need. On a weekly basis, I take care of additional cleaning and maintenance tasks to ensure they have everything they need. I prioritize their well being while balancing my other responsibilities, so their care remains consistent and reliable. I provide reliable care by following feeding schedules, ensuring pets have fresh water, keeping their spaces clean, and giving them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s specific needs and the owner’s instructions.
The median cost per night for house sitting in West Hampton is $50

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa! From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing with our two girls, Ellie and Karma! 🥰🐾 We don’t leave our girls very often, so finding someone we trust to stay in our home and care for them is extremely important to us. Alyssa exceeded our expectations! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures and messages throughout our trip, which gave us such peace of mind knowing our girls were happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for. It was clear that Alyssa genuinely enjoyed spending time with them and treated them with so much love and attention. Being able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our girls meant the world to us! We are beyond happy that we found Alyssa and will absolutely be using her again! We already hope to have her back for our annual trip next October, if not sooner! If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, communicative, and will treat your pets like her own, we HIGHLY recommend Alyssa! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our girls! ❤️
Joey did an amazing job petsitting our dog and cat during our vacation. Our dog is elderly, so she is slow to warm up to new people and requires a lot of extra care, including daily medications. He was incredibly patient with her and provided excellent care. Our cat loved him so much I began to worry she might be disappointed when we got home! 😂 Joey provided lots of photos and updates about both pets every day. It was a huge relief to know they were both taken care of. We highly recommend Joey!
Adahy was amazing with our dogs and kitty! He was very reliable and communicative, and it was obvious from the start that he genuinely cared about them. We felt comfortable leaving our pets and home in his care, and came back to happy dogs and everything even cleaner than we left it. We'll definitely be booking Adahy again!
I’m so incredibly thankful for Connor and the care he gave my pets. He was kind, patient, and so chill, which made a huge difference for both me and my pets. I really appreciated how understanding and flexible he was, and it meant so much that he was willing to stay the night to help my pets feel safe and comfortable. That level of care and compassion is rare, and I could truly tell he wanted the best for my animals. I would absolutely trust Connor again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.
Amanda took wonderful care of our fur baby, Frodo Baggins, while we were out of town for spring break. She made sure he was fed, walked, and received his medication on schedule, which gave us such peace of mind. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, it meant so much to know he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We also came home to a clean, welcoming space, which was such a thoughtful touch. Amanda went above and beyond, and we will absolutely be calling her again!
Alex was great! She was attentive to our pup and the things we asked of her. She was respectful of our home and she made sure our guy was well loved and taken care of while we were traveling. Her communication was excellent as well! I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!!
Alayna was awesome! She watched our 3 large dogs for 10 days and took such great care of them. I got regular updates and pics, and it was obvious they were super happy and comfortable. When an issue came up with one of our pups, she alerted us right away and was very helpful. Came home to three relaxed pups and everything just as I left it. Totally recommend her — will definitely be booking again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Hampton is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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.
