“Jamie was absolutely fantastic! Not only did my Baby Girl take to her right away - you can tell she is a huge dog lover. She is kind and respectful and sent me some pupdates as well. Both myself and my pup are looking forward to seeing her again and I would highly recommend her to family and friends alike. 5 stars all the way!”
“Christine was just wonderful with my Yorkie. Even though he’s stubborn and old, she gave him love and took such good care of him. She’s a wonderful woman I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Raith was awesome with our three animals. Super communicative, really flexible and the animals all completely loved hanging out with them. Will definitely be booking Raith again!”
“Stefania, was great. She provided us with many pictures and daily communications. Our furbabies were well cared for, she took the dogs outside several times a day, which is something they definitely love. Our house was well cared for.”
“Victoria was amazing with our dog while we were gone. Our older dog unfortunately passes away a week before we left town and we couldn’t change our plans so we were so worried about our younger dog. Victoria gave her lots of love and attention and made sure she was kept occupied a lot so she didn’t get sad. She even brought her dogs over to play with her and brought them to our dog park. We couldn’t have been more grateful to her for taking such good care of our baby. We would recommend her 100%”
“Tyler was responsive, cared for Henry well, adhered to his play needs and routine, and communicated extremely well with daily photos and videos. Even when our pup had some tummy issues amd a few accidents from anxiety - he was patient , and took care of our home like it was his own. Not many people take this extra care and we had complete peace of mind while we were away for 5 days. We will definitely rebook with Tyler and highly recommend him. Henry gives him 10 paws 🐾”

About: I have been a veterinary technician and am a life long animal lover. I have my associates degree in veterinary science. Comfortable with medication and older animals. Taking care of pets since I was a kiddo. My schedule is very flexible and I am available for most jobs. The career I have is sales and I am able to set my own appointments/hours. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate if needed. We do not currently have any dogs in our home, one cat who is friendly.
About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

She also has a history of working with animals, which is a comfort in every way.”

About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
About: I’ve taken care of relatives/friend’s pets since I was about 8. I have the ability to care for pets in many ways, such taking them on walks, give them outside play time, feed and bathe them, show them love and affection while their owners are away. My friends and family find me very reliable/dependable when it comes to caring for their pet. I’m currently an athlete at SCF. So, I have practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3-5:30. My weekends are fully available and i my weekdays are very open. I have a wide, open spaced living room so, your dog/cat can roam free. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood so, they can have a safe area for outside play time.
About: I’ve never known life without dogs! I grew up with 3–4 at a time, adopted my first dog at 15, and now have three of my own. I also foster and have experience with everything from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls, German Shepherds and Bullmastiffs. I especially love working with deaf dogs and have experience teaching sign-language commands, basic obedience and leash skills. Friends and family have trusted me for years with their dogs and often come to me for help with behavioral concerns and care questions. I know how hard it is to leave your dogs behind. I’ve never boarded my own because I want them comfortable and loved while I’m away. I even brought all three to my wedding! Whether your pup is 10 pounds or 100, shy or full of zoomies, I’d love to keep them happy, loved, and help them “get their squiggles out” while you’re away. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for weekday and weekend care, including daytime visits and walks. I’m happy to work around your pup’s normal routine and keep their schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away! 🐾 Your dog’s safety and comfort come first! I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality, routine and individual needs. I’ll follow your feeding, walking, medication and house rules closely and make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, playtime and affection. I’m also experienced with crates, senior dogs, anxious pups, special needs and dogs who need a little extra patience. 🐾

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Samoset
Janessa was amazing! She stayed at our house with our senior dog and two cats. She sent pictures and kept us updated daily. When we returned the house was clean and in the same manor we left it and the animals were well taken care of. She followed all of our requests for tending to the animals and the house. It made for a very relaxing vacation as we did not have to worry about anything. We will use her again!
Lindsey was great with our two small dogs. When she came to the house to meet them, they instantly liked her, which isn't always the case with a lot of people. They have a mildly complicated feeding routine. Lindsey took notes and handled their mealtimes well. She was communicative throughout our 8 day trip, sending us photos and updates. Our flight was delayed coming back and she made sure to check in with us to ensure we got home and rhe dogs were OK. We highly recommend her!
Elliana went really above and beyond with my house and animals. She left the house and critters cleaner and happier than she found them.

I'd use Shanna and her husband any time. Watched my guy for three nights at my place. Great communication -- they sent me updates after every meal and walk that he took his meds ate, peed, pooped, and photos each time. Exactly what I need to make me feel like he's being well taken care of. Five stars!

The average cost of House Sitting in West Samoset is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $42 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,880 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Samoset. 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 Samoset 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 Samoset 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 Samoset 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.

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.

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.
