I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also been a professional dog groomer for over four years, which has given me lots of hands-on experience working with dogs and understanding their different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur baby. I promise to treat every dog like my own, with lots of love, patience, attention, and cuddles!

“Ashley is our border collie Tess' new best friend. We are new to the area and Ashley has been an excellent resource. She is very personable, handled Tess well from the start, and kept us informed while we were away. We look forward to having her stay with Tess soon.”
“Karen communicated wonderfully, followed our requests and send photos of the babies. We were super pleased with her and will be having her back again soon next time we are away!”
“I really cannot come up with enough accolades to express our gratitude for Helena's care of our very senior Doxie, Fenway. Since he's 17+, it is important for us that his caregiver understands senior dogs, which Helena undoubtedly does. She is easy to get to know and is warm and caring. Her communication was frequent and included pictures. She went above and beyond in taking care of our buddy and in maintaining the house. We felt completely at ease leaving Fenway in Helena's excellent care!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care As a college student at mass maritime, I have class for at least a few hours every day with some days being longer but I can definitely work around my classes to give your pets the best care I will follow any rules and care instructions you give, also I won’t snoop around or go anywhere in your house that you don’t want me to be.
“Zuzana was amazing! She walked Roosevelt every day and sent us cute photos and videos. I was afraid Roosevelt wouldn't want to come home. We will use Zuzana again for sure. Highly recommend!”
“While we were away for a medical procedure, our 15 year old dog became quite ill, requiring lots of attention and complex caregiving — and house cleaning — as well as comforting. Caitlin managed all parts of this VERY difficult booking, which was much more than she bargained for, with competence and grace , and kept her safe and comfortable while we scheduled the Vet and raced home. We were so relieved to have such close and competent attention for our little girl, and grateful for Caitlin‘s grace and confidence at a precarious time. We can’t say enough good about Caitlin and we can’t thank herenough.”
“Dana was an A++ sitter, and I can't recommend her more highly. Our two pups loved her immediately! Our older dog has dementia and a heart condition, requiring a lot of care and medication--Dana handled it like a pro. She also send us pictures and updates regularly. Knowing that our dogs were in such capable hands allowed us to really enjoy our weekend away.”
“I am so grateful to have found Iben. She is a lovely person - easy to talk with and great at communicating, especially about details that I would have otherwise let slip through the cracks. I came home to happy *mellow* dogs which, to me, means they had good attention and plenty of walking with Iben. Can’t wait to travel again in hopes that Iben can stay with these two!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. My family has always had multiple dogs in our home and a house isn’t a home without a dog. For years I have cared for friends and family dogs while they were either at work or vacation. Now that I am retired I have a lot more time to give helping others who need support to care for their dog. I am available all hours of the day and night. I can pick up dogs or they can be brought to my home. I am semi retired and this allows me lots of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard that backs up to conservation land that I use to exercise my own dogs. If allowed by owner, walks on the beach at low tide is a favorite activity for our dogs. During the summers I walk the many trails this area has to offer, many with ponds the dogs love to swim in.
About: We recently moved to Harwich from Bedford, MA in Oct 2024. We love taking walks and taking car rides with our Goldens to try new trails or beaches that are pet friendly and meet other dogs and Pet Owners My Wife and I are recently retired now living in Harwich and are avid walkers. We love taking walks on the beach, Thompsons Field and neighborhoods. Our Golden has the common area free to roam and we crate her at night. We have a runner off back deck that we use while outside with her. Never let her loose unless we are with her.
About: I am a friendly, professional 43 year old artist and mom. I have been taking care of various dog breeds since I was 10 years old, starting with three feisty Dalmatian puppies who grew into show dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs of my family with various injuries and age disabilities which required heavy lifting and constant care and special diet needs. I am adept in feeding, crate training, walking, playing, health issues. I have been dog walking/sitting for neighbors, friends and family dogs throughout college in Boston, graduate school in Chicago and as and artist in New York City. Most recently my sister and I had a freelance dog walking business based around South Dartmouth, Martha's Vineyard and New Bedford, MA. I am an absolute dog lover--reliable,athletic, attentive, patient, calm under pressure and adaptable in various environments. I am available for long walks for athletic dogs, playing with your pup, devoting attention and care to senior dogs, dog sitting at home, quick jaunts for the day, or anywhere in between! I am a freelance artist living in Hyannis, MA and am very flexible to dog walking or sitting 7 days a week, very early morning throughout the day till evenings. I am available for dog walking, sitting, and feeding as frequently as needed for various dog sizes, ages, and health, exercise and time requirements in a client's home and am very comfortable with any outdoor local environment.
About: I love all kinds of fur babies! They aren't just pets; they’re family. I have had dogs of my own for 35 years and grew up around them. I have the patience for puppy care and consistency needed to help them learn life skills like house training. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy staying active, organized, and spending time with animals. I make time throughout the day for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I’m able to plan my schedule around a pet’s needs to make sure they receive consistent care, exercise, and supervision. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by making sure they stay on their normal routine as much as possible and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I also provide companionship so pets feel less stressed while their owners are away, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
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.

I pay EXTRA attention to detail and have a lot of experience with special care for dogs (oral medicine,special diet,blindness, etc.). Iam up everyday at 6am to run so feel free to contact me at any time. My days revolve around my children or to some people dogs. I spent ten years out in Portland, Oregon and amassed a ton of experience with dogs over that time working for Rover. I would like to bring that experience to the Cape! I’m currently working from home so my schedule is as flexible as it gets. My schedule revolves around exercise and my dog so I’m always up early (6am) and always active.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yarmouth
We had an amazing experience with Susan watching our dog for the weekend. It was our first experience leaving our 7 year old stubborn and spoiled French bulldog with anyone but family. She came to our home for the weekend and took great care of our boy. Sending pictures and texts throughout the weekend made our trip worry free. Highly recommend!!
Our experience with Helena was absolutely fantastic! From the start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. She took such great care of our pup, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. It was obvious our dog felt comfortable and happy the entire time. Highly recommend and will definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was our first time with Kristen and it went extremely well. She gave us frequent update updates with pictures, and really seemed to enjoy watching our two dogs. She came for a meet and greet prior to us leaving and our reactive/anxious dog did great with Kristen. I definitely plan on asking Kristen to watch our dogs again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Yarmouth is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $95 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 370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yarmouth. 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 Yarmouth 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 Yarmouth 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 Yarmouth 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.
