About: I have cared for several different dogs for friends and family, and have had a rescue myself for over 3 years. I love all dogs and can’t wait to make more friends of all sizes! This is my current job! I have a lot of time on my hands, so I am looking to help as many people as possible :) I am a runner and know all the great areas around town for walks! If local to you that works for me too, I have the stamina for any amount of pulling!
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.
About: Animals have always been part of my life. When I was younger I had a Yorkshire Terrier, I had to look after her every day, and when she had puppies I cared for them until they grew up. I currently have a Boston Terrier and an Australian Shepherd but they live in my Guatemala home, I used to take them for walks in the park and often to the beach or to volcanoes. When I was living in Guatemala I helped take care of a blind dog by assisting with the food, walks, and by watching him. I have taken care many times of my friend's dogs, I play with them and take them for walks. I love dogs and all kinds of animals, I would love to take care of your pet!
“Sarah was punctual and took wonderful care of Penny and Pepper (aka pippa). She put my mind at ease with regular updates and snapshots which I loved! I definitely recommend her and plan to book with her again.”
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 was great! She was reliable, responsive and gave me daily updates, including pictures. My cat seemed to enjoy her visits and was relaxed and happy when we got home. We will definitely request her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Nikki, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily care or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and trust above all else. I respect your space as if it were my own and make sure your pet feels calm, comfortable, and secure in their environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and ensure your pet sticks to their routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is not only safe, but also genuinely cared for and loved in your absence.
“Katie was wonderful. She visited Wally at the requested times. She played with him and definitely spent time keeping him company when we weren't there. And, the texts with pictures were so cute and gave us the peace of mind that Wally was being well cared for. We would use her again when we go away.”
“Had such a great, easy experience with Sydney! The dogs absolutely love her and she really is a dog whisperer. My dogs aren’t the easiest and yet they are so calm with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker”
About: I am new to Rover but have been working professionally as a part-time dog walker and pet sitter (cats and dogs) for a top-rate company for the last year and a half. I love it! Additionally, I am the proud owner of two German shepherds and have had shepherds continuously since 2007, including a retired police dog. Our current shepherds, Fritz and Petra, train in obedience, tracking and protection. While I do not offer dog training, you might be interested to know that my own dog is trained daily. I am familiar with English, German, and hand signal commands. Cats: I was brought up with Siamese cats and had a series of Siamese until recently. I also care for cats as a pet sitter. I am well versed in cats’ needs. I work part-time three days per week and have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows me plenty of time to take care of your pet. I currently do not offer care in my home, but I am happy to care for your pet(s) on their home turf following your guidelines. Think of me as your surrogate. I focus on safety first. Depending on your needs and requests, I offer on-leash walks in the neighborhood, indoor or outdoor off-leash play (at your fenced in yard with your toys) in all weather, feed your pet, refresh water bowls, scoop litter boxes, and provide relief opportunities. An overnight service includes dinner preparation, exercise, play and TLC.
About: I strictly follow your dog’s personal and walking routines to prevent any anxiety, while sending frequent photo updates so you can travel completely worry free. Working from home allows me to easily blend my day with your dog’s needs, offering frequent play and potty breaks and endless cuddles while working. By staying at your place, I minimize your dog’s anxiety. I provide dedicated overnight care, plenty of playtime, and frequent updates so you feel connected.
“Julia has been such a great cat sitter!! So sweet with Bodee and providing very thorough and thoughtful updates. She’s very responsive (and sends great cat photos😊). Thank you Julia!!!”
“Julie, did a drop in visit for my mini poodle. She is sweet and flexible. I feel fortunate that I can trust her with my dog. I will continue to call upon Julie when I need help with my dog.”
About: Thank you for taking the time to look through my profile! My name is Sam and I’m 33 years old. I’m the proud mom of two human children, a tabby, and a bearded dragon! I had dogs for as long as I can remember and even helped with a few births. I have general knowledge of their behaviors and tendencies. I adore animals and find them to be loyal and loving and I want to help give back to them and their owners as best I can. I offer pet- sitting, walking, doggy daycare and drop ins are available thanks to me having a flexible schedule. Let me take care of them like you do! I look forward to hearing from you! *For last minute bookings please message me! I currently work full-time in Security 4 nights per week, but this makes me available most of the week during the day, and I’m willing to do drop ins late nights after work. I am willing and able to follow any and all instructions for your pet to ensure that they are happy and safe during my visits. I am also Cat and Dog First Aid/CPR certified through the American Red Cross.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Woods Hole stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woods Hole. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
