“Haley was awesome! Very quick to reply and an excellent communicator. She accomodated my last-minute pup sitting request with an upbeat, helpful attitude. Would highly recommend and will definately be booking her again soon :)”
“Lauren is terrific to work with. Both Gus and I really like her and appreciate her conscientiousness, good communication skills, reliability! We feel very happy to have her in our lives!”
“Jamie came for a meet & greet. So pleasant and professional and you could tell she is definitely an animal lover. She engaged with Nutmeg aka Nutty right away. I booked for a home visit over two days. This is where Jamie proved her mettle, patience and perseverance! She called me to let me know Nutty was growling and wouldn't come near her. I was shocked at Nutty's behavior but had a few suggestions. Jamie persevered and soon got Nutty outside to play. The second day went off without a hitch. Thank you Jamie! You are awesome and I will be booking you again real soon! 🐕😊🐾”
About: I love animals and the energy they bring to a space. I have a cat now, have had several cats over the past 15 years and family cats and dogs growing up. I have either lived with roommates dogs or have friends or relatives with dogs that I consider family. I love interacting with all animals and have a respect and understanding for their needs and care. A walk in the backyard, down the street, time at the beach, going on a hike or just spending time inside, all seem like good options to me! I am respectful, honest, kind and compassionate. I am an Artist focusing in the Visual, Performing and Healing Arts. I will take good safe care of your pet as if they were part of my family. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Abigail was so great with moose! She worked through a snafu with our keys seamlessly and cared for moose so well. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our boy while we were gone for an evening. ❤️”
“Ashley is wonderful. She communicates, send tons of photos, and is extremely trustworthy. We would absolutely hire her again! Lucky to have found her in such short notice as well. Thank you Ashley 👏🏽”
About: Ive been around animals ever since I was little and Ive been dog sitting for the past couple of years. I’ve handled dogs of different ages and personalities. Im currently working full time but I have Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays off so im free to take your pups for a walk or even do a check in! I have a 1 year old rescue who gets along well with other people and dogs. Typically he is brought for 1-2 walks each day along with day care twice a week to get some extra socialization and energy out.
About: Ive owned dogs my entire life and have worked as a dog groomer for coming up on 3 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Im looking to schedule services when my children are in school, and on my days off from work. Anytime during those days is fine, and I’m hoping to add more availability in the future. I have a relatively large backyard, and a playful dog to keep your pet company! I can crate them if needed, and have fun puzzles and other toys to keep them happy and busy!
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies for most of my life. Ever since I was 3 years old, I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and developed a strong love and understanding for pet care. Over the past year, I’ve also gained experience caring for a senior dog, including providing patience, attention, and daily support for their specific needs. In addition, I enjoy working with puppies and have experience teaching basic training and new tricks. I treat every pet like family and always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets and provide them with the attention they deserve. I am available on both weekends and weekdays, with the most flexibility in the mornings. I also have availability during some afternoons and evenings, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to pets at all times to ensure their safety and well-being, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also keep spaces clean, secure, and pet-friendly so owners can feel confident that their pets are being cared for like family.
About: I’m a school nurse, and animal lover looking to make some extra money this summer. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish and horses. I currently live in Arundel, Maine and have a French bulldog, and two cats. I would love to help take care of your cherished, furry family members. I’m available for daily walks, feeding, and overnight sitting in your home. I have availability this summer through out the weekdays, and some weekends available for pet sitting. I will be diligent in following your care instructions and schedule for your pets to provide them kind, compassionate care. This should help to keep them calm, and still have normalcy and fun while you are away.
“Kiley was great! She knew our dog would be anxious and settled him right down. She was punctual, a good communicator and set our minds at ease with photos of Finnegan. Would highly recommend.”
About: I work at an emergency vet and have ample shelter experience, meaning that I love to take care of any type of animal. Have cats? Amazing! Have dogs? Also amazing! Have Chickens? Also also amazing! Whether your dog is super social or has stranger danger—I will gladly take care of any breed of dog. As previously mentioned I do love stranger danger pups—with my shelter experience, I’m incredibly skilled and patient with going at their pace. If you do have a stranger danger dog, I will gladly meet up as many times as needed for them to be comfortable with me free of charge before services are needed :) I work nights, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! If there’s any special care needed, I would be happy to accommodate and chat! I’m very respectful of other’s homes—I will cater to the animal’s needs! Doesn’t matter if they have a unique feeding routine or if they’re high energy. I’m also educated on resource guarding, so just let me know what’s needed! :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alfred on Rover is $22.47 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Alfred 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.

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.
