“Lily was great! Prompt communication — with pics! She followed the instructions we left for her. And most importantly — Lucy loved her immediately. Thanks for taking such good care of our GSD.”
“Sam is organized, thoughtful, responsible, conscientious, responsive, and kind! He sent lots of photos and mini videos while house-sitting for Clover. He went above and beyond, watering my Christmas tree, bringing in packages, etc. and he left my apartment spotless. He was the best caregiver, all around. I am so happy to have found him.”
“Jamie was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pete, over the Christmas holiday. Not only was she great with Pete, but she also navigated a big snow storm and power outage with ease. We felt so at ease knowing that she was holding down the fort when we were out of state. She is a great communicator, left the house in immaculate condition, and even gave Pete a handmade Christmas stocking! We'd love to have her back.”
“We always know the pups are in safe hands with Jonas! Rocket is a harsh critic and has nothing but glowing reviews for them. Ruby is more fickle, but we know her love for Jonas runs deep. Thank you!!”
“This was the first time I used Katie to care for Ginger but it won’t be the last! Katie did a wonderful job taking really good care of Ginger for an overnight at my house and the day before and after. She attended to Ginger’s every need and sent me updates and pictures, too! She even left my house better than before. Don’t look any further—call Katie! But not when I need her! 😉”
About: Hii!! I’m a patient, caring sitter with 3 years of experience of caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled at giving medications, calming anxious pets, and provided the attention your furry baby needs. I’m happy to send frequent updates to keep you at ease, treating your pet with all the love and care they deserve. I am currently looking for some time to spend with pets when I am not working. I have a passion to be with animals and it brightens my day to help someone and spend time with a cute furry pet. I love to be active and create an environment that the pets can thrive and be loved. I have free time throughout the week to tend to their needs and get them out of the house or play with them to get their jitters out. For dogs, I love to play with them and go for walks or runs so they can go explore. For cats, I make sure their environment is clean and give them constant snuggles and comfort.
“We would absolutely book Kayla again! She was incredibly communicative throughout, and from the photos she sent, it was clear our dog was happy and comfortable with her—his wagging tail said it all. Since he's not typically used to being around others, we were thrilled with how well he settled in. Kayla was also very accommodating to all of our requests. Thank you, Kayla!”
“Super reliable and had lots of amazing pictures of our animals. House was just as we left it. Updated us one how the animals were doing. Would recommend to anyone and will hire again.”
“Alyssa was wonderful! She took such great care of Boozie and was incredibly caring, attentive, and detail-oriented. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely use Alyssa again an highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Tova was EXCELLENT with our puppies while we were out of town. She stayed the night and the communication was top notch!! We loved all of the photos too. She gave our older one her medication and everything went so smooth! We will be calling Tova again for sure!”
“Katie was fantastic! This was our cat's first time being alone in the house with out us since the start of the pandemic and Katie was wonderful at keeping her company and providing us peace of mind! We got lots of cute pictures daily as well :) I would absolutely recommend her!!!”
“Julia was wonderful! Julia took care of our two French bulldogs for four nights while staying in our RV and we got lots of pictures and updates. The dogs even took their daily two mile walk which shows how comfortable they were with her. We’re looking forward to booking Julia to watch our dogs again!”
“Sergey stayed at my house for a long weekend with my 5-month-old pup. He was very responsive and responsible, and my dog loved him! He alerted me about a small medical problem during my absence and updated me the next day. I wouldn't hesitate to ask him to care for Archie again.”
“Emily was great with our 3 dogs, fish, and bearded dragon while we were away for two weeks! I felt at ease the entirety of our trip with her watching our animals. She kept us updated with pictures and was available if we needed to contact her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again”
“So thankful for Felicia! She truly is top notch and takes such good care of our sassy pup!! Our doggie is very selective to whom she likes and she loves Felicia ! That speaks for itself!!! 10000% recommend!”
“Ryan was great in all areas. He took wonderful care of our dog, Butters. From handling medications and feeding, to going on walks, we were very happy with Ryan’s approach. He is a strong communicator and very friendly. He also kept the house very clean while we were away. We greatly appreciate his help and would be happy to use his services again!”
“Jordyn is the friendliest, most reliable, dog-loving, tidiest, amazing dog sitter! She handled my two large rescue mutts with ease and joy. A truly delightful experience!”
“Emily did an exceptional job doing an in house stay with our fur pack. They each have their own unique personalities and can be a bit of a handful, but she treated each one with love and attention to meet their needs. They warmed up to her quickly and we could tell when we came home that while they missed us, they had not been stressed with a new person taking care of them. This is a huge win. Emily left the house spotless and we couldn't have asked for a better person to watch our home and fur family while we were away. We recommend Emily to anyone who wants their animals to be loved on and taken care of and to have their home respected and well watched.”
“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yarmouth
Sam stayed at our house for four nights, taking care of our two big dogs. He was fantastic, very caring, reliable, great communication. We received daily pictures and videos of our dogs and he clearly took great care of them. Next time we need a pet sitter Sam will be our guy.
Lynn took great care of all of our animals. Our dog was quite content when we got home and even our skittish cat was comfortable with her. Also the house was in terrific shape and she even washed her sheets and towels. We are so grateful for her loving care.
Cam was so great with our dog and two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. He came to meet all the pets a couple of days before staying with us and our dog especially loved hanging out with him on the couch and going for walks while we were away. One of our cats is a finicky eater, and Cam was super mindful to make sure he was eating in a place that he was comfortable. 10/10 on Cam and would definitely rebook again! Thanks so much.
Aphtyn watched our 6-mos old Labradoodle while we were away for a long weekend. She kept us updated on how Lily was doing and shared adorable pictures of their time together. We also came home to find the house cleaner than how we left it! We would definitely use Aphtyn again!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
