“Sharon was wonderful with watching and bringing our dog to our wedding. She clearly really cares about dogs and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. We felt very comfortable with leaving him in her capable hands. We will certainly have our dog stay with Sharon again when we are back on the cape! We can’t recommend her more! Thank you Sharon!!”
“Susan was very patient with our timid pandemic puppy for an all day sit at our house. She put our minds at ease while we were at a family funeral for the day. Would highly recommend her.”

“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!”
“Dani was great. We needed a last minute booking, and she responded promptly. Our pet is a bit of a drama dog and pretty much pouts while we are away. Dani rolled with it and managed to get him to cuddle a bit. We will definitely keep Dani in mind for future bookings.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and career. I currently manage a veterinary hospital and have experience working alongside both general practice and emergency veterinary teams. As a pet parent to a nervous, reactive dog, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet loves adventure, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires a little extra patience and understanding, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, compassionate care tailored to them. Currently working Full time and looking to do this as a side job. I would prefer dogs that are close to me to ensure I can do as many walks as possible. Working in the Vet Med field has taught me how incredibly important safety is. I follow the owner’s instructions to the tee and will put the pets safety as a top priority on all our walks.
About: Hi, my name is Kerry, and I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all ages and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and cats, including pets that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, helping with basic puppy training and routines, feeding, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I understand that every pet is different, and I always try to follow their normal routine so they can feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their family is away. I’m currently working full-time as a pet care professional, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day for dog walks, drop-in visits, and personalized care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine, space, and individual needs. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, attention, and making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“What could go wrong went wrong with my dog while we were out of town. Dana kept me updated on everything and got him to his vet, then brought him to the hospital. She didn’t leave my dog’s side until the hospital admitted him. He was stabilized and I now have him home! Thank you, Dana for picking up on his symptoms and getting him the care he needed!”
“Iben and Trevor were great! Our two pups loved all the cuddles, hikes and playtime. Happy to host them in our home while we were on vacation (helped our dogs feel much less anxious staying in their own beds in our home); they sent us lots of photos and videos and helped us feel comfortable being away from our pups.”
“Nikki was a wonderful sitter for our pup! She stayed in our home and was so communicative and respectful of our space. She gave our pup all the love and attention, and we could tell she got plenty of exercise. Will definitely be booking with Nikki again!”
“Taigh was a lifesaver - he responded immediately to my last-minute request for help to watch our little dog and stay at our house for the long weekend. He took great care of both the dog and our house, kept us posted as to our dog's goings on, and even had his mom check in on the dog when he was going to be at work for a long stint. We really appreciated the photos and texts with updates, as well as with his stripping the bed and washing the sheets. We would definitely recommend Taigh and plan to use him again for future pet/house sitting needs.”
About: Hi! My name is Emma and I am an actor and gardener based full time on Cape Cod. I fell in love with animals at a young age, when I got my childhood dog Biscuit in kindergarten. While in college, I walked dogs around Boston and Los Angeles, as well as watched them at my apartment on weekends. In high school, I was an active volunteer with the MSPCA, and I previously worked at a doggy daycare as a playroom attendant I love animals and I love nothing more than being around them. I promise to treat your fur babies like my own. Cuddles, picture updates. lots of treats (if they can be spoiled), walks and tummy rubs are all included in my booking! I’m so grateful for Rover, and i will see your pets soon! In addition to pet care, I am a gardener and local community theater actor. I work 5 days a week, typically ranging from 7:30-7:30 depending on the day, but there is often flexibility.

Reach out to me and I am more than happy to work around your schedule!! I treat my client's pets like they are my own, and I am a very affectionate and respectful caregiver. I give the best tummy rubs in town!
“Great communication, lots of pictures and video showing a happy pup. Followed care instructions to a T and took great care of the house. Definitely will be asking her again.”
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: 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.
“Caroline is a conscientious, caring and dependable sitter that did an excellent job with my two pups. . I strongly recommend her for anyone needing a stay-over sitter. She communicated well and went the extra mile to adjust food when one of my dogs had some GI issues and the house was in good shape when I returned from a 4 day trip. You can’t go wrong with Caroline and I will reserve her again in the future.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and volunteer weekly at an adoption center, walking various different breeds and ensuring they get the care they need and the necessary exercise. I am currently a student and look forward to taking care of pets and providing them with the care they need. I have had a passion for taking care of animals ever since I was really little and cannot wait to provide pets with my services! I have had a multitude of pet experiences and will watch for signs from your dog to ensure their best care. In my own home pets are like family and your pets will be treated as such.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yarmouth Port
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Yarmouth Port is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $75 per night.

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 Port 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 Port 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 Port 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.
