“Jacquie was amazing! Our first time doing in home as opposed to drop off and had the best possible experience! She’s great with the boys, kept us updated with their activities and sent pictures and videos the entire stay. She kept them entertained, let them sleep with her and she even took care of my plants! She will be our go to in the future and hope we are lucky enough to snag her when we have to leave them for vacations!”
“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!”
“Awesome job as always by Nikki! The many reasons why Nikki is so amazing: she actually loves the animals, she is so sharp and quick to adjust and adapt to any situation thrown at her, she is very communicative, she is respectful of your home and things…she is truly a gem and we would never ever get to travel if not for her. We (the furry boys too) love you, Nikki! 😘”
“Emily was amazing! She sent tons of updates and I came home to an exhausted pup! She even did laundry after an accident (puppy problems, not Emily’s fault!) I can’t wait to work with Emily again!”
“Olivia stayed w our 5 month old puppy, 4 year old dog, and 14 year old cat for 2.5 days. She took great care of them and our home. I really appreciated how she reached out daily for updates and to provide photos of our pets. Our pets were well loved in our absence. Highly recommend!”
“Clare did a fantastic job taking care of our 4 years old dog Rony. She surpassed all our expectations and we are so glad that we trusted her with the care of our dog while we are away . She was happy to meet up before the sit-in and she is an absolutely positive and lovely girl. Clare is super communicative and easy to work with and sent us daily updates and shared photos of the dog , playing with him and his favorite ball outside in the yard. Highly recommend 100% will definitely book her again if she is available for our next vacation.”
“Gabrielle is an excellent choice as a dog sitter. She stayed in her home for a few days and Coco had a great time with her. She's easy to communicate with and very kind.”
About: Hello! My name is Annika, and I am a high school teacher looking for extra time with animals. I currently own two dogs and a cat, and have owned many animals in the past. One of my dogs is less than a year old, so I have plenty of puppy experience. All of the dogs I have owned are over 70 pounds, so I also have experience with large dogs. I am also aware of the large spectrum of different types of cat attitudes there are. I am so excited to get some extra animal time in my life. Please reach out if you think I can help you and your pup/cat! I am a teacher with the summer off. I do have some obligations throughout the summer, but will be able to help out when I can. I am aware of the needs that many different types of animals need. I know that puppies need lots of stimulation, older dogs still need love, and cats need what they want when they want it.
“It's been a minute since I used Rover (eight or nine years goes by quick). I had a great Rover sitter out West many years ago when there was no whites on his face, butt, and paws. He was just a black pup then. He walked, ran, and leapt pain-free. 'Mack', like his owner, has just simply gotten older, and is described with whatever adjectives come with the word, 'old' since. Enter Angela. I reached out to her a couple weeks before I was leaving for a week, and she responded promptly. She came to my house a few days later, over the weekend, to meet him. Mack is vocal, overly so at times, and is protective of me, in spite of my attempts to dissuade that behavior, constantly, for 13 years. Get near me, he barks. Just the way it is. Angela gave him a treat here and there while being unwavered and kind to him. He was nipping her heels as I showed her around my place... ...still unwavered and kind. I knew she was the right person, and she took the job which was staying at my house with him for a week. She walked the old man every day, took excellent care of my house (absolutely not asked of her), easily navigated a farmer's dog diet, and fired happy/action pictures of my dog to me every evening. He was definitely loved. He showed his belly in return. He doesn't do that for just anyone. I could tell he was kinda bummed it was me in charge again when I returned. I wanna keep Angela to myself, but it's only fair to recommend her. She's responsible, beyond trustworthy, and truly great with doggies! Highly recommended!”
About: I currently work at an animal hospital, so I’m used to taking care of both cats and dogs. My own dog was diabetic so I’m used to administering insulin shots. I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible. I grew up with a dog and currently have a cat so I understand needing someone reliable to take care of your fur baby or babies.
“It was great having Rachael here with our dogs while we were away. She sent lots of photos to let us know the dogs were happy. She is super responsive to messages and I felt very comfortable with all of our interactions. I highly recommend her!”
About: Dear Pet owners, My name is Dave and have been watching pets now for about 10 years on and off. Mostly local and for friends and family. Now that I've discovered Rover I'd like to branch out a bit and meet new four-legged friends and their owners too. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around their neighborhoods, local conservation sites and to the beaches in the off-season. I've taken care of both cats and dogs and houses and plants too, at all times of the year. I know the area fairly well and I enjoy the elements no matter what they bring here in New England. I'm good at following specific diet rules as many of our pets are picky and some may get sickly otherwise. I enjoy playing with pups and lounging with the older dogs too. I'm fairly flexible when it comes to where I'm staying if it's overnight and not shy when it comes to cleaning up after a pets mess here and there. Overall I like dogs and cats, we seem to get along well and we often have a good time and they are always well taken care of while they're owners are away.
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was in highschool. I have taken care of 3 dogs at once and enjoy running around and bringing them on walks. I love to snuggle and give all my love to every pet! This will be my daily as well as weekly routine. Whatever anyone needs I am willing to be flexible to their pets and the families I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run around. I have a loving lab that would love to have a playmate. However I also have two extra rooms and will be willing to separate the dogs for whatever reason. Anything to make your fur baby feel more at home
“Helena is INCREDIBLE!! I felt so at ease while away. Nala has quite the separation anxiety which makes it hard to leave because she can be a little high maintenance. Not once did I worry about her being left alone for long periods of time. Helena sent me a bunch of updates and pictures. She left the house super clean. I highly recommend her! Nala and I love her so much <3”

Kat took wonderful care of Lucie for the weekend while we went to a family wedding. While she was glad to see us when we got home, I have a feeling she got more attention this weekend than we give her! She had lots of walks and belly rubs. Will definitely hire Kat again.
Jacqueline is just the best. This was the second time she watched our dog Ellie. Ellie is usually fearful of new people but absolutely loves Jacqueline. We got videos, photos, and updates each day. We love that we can enjoy our time away knowing our pets are in great hands :)
We can’t say enough amazing things about Nicole! She cared for both Teddy and our house for 6 weeks and kept us updated the whole time with so many pictures and videos. We could tell Teddy was so loved and happy! We 10000% recommend Nicole and will definitely be booking her again!
Lily was an excellent dog sitter to our 2.5 year old lab and 5 month old retriever. She was able to stay with our pups on short notice and jump right into their routines. She was so easy to communicate with - we had a phone call to review their routines and go over any questions and then Lily provided us with daily updates on how the dogs were doing. She kept them active by taking them on walks, letting them play together, but was vigilant to not let them play too intensely and separated our puppy when she was getting too playful. She also was so caring and helpful to our puppy who is still potty training and was patient with her when she had accidents. Lily took great care of our home while we were away and we couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again. She helped us feel at ease while away on vacation and our dogs have continued their routines after her care which we are so grateful for. Thank you Lily!
This was the first time leaving our dog so we were feeling a little nervous. Luckily we found Nicole! She was the perfect sitter and guest in our home. Nicole is confident, reliable and sweet. She took great care of our dog and sent us photos to keep us in the loop. It is clear that Nicole is a dog lover and really cares for your pets. We would highly recommend Nicole.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Hyannisport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Hyannisport on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Hyannisport. 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 Hyannisport 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 Hyannisport 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 Hyannisport 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.
