About: I grew up with dogs, from puppy stage to senior years, and I have never been without a pet. I have also owned and worked with horses since I was ten, so I possess a lot of animal sense and knowledge. By character, I am calm, observant, flexible, and reliable. My job allows me to set my own hours and work mostly from home, so I can easily accommodate your pet within my day or week! I enjoy walking and hiking. My own dog does not get left at home alone for more than 2-3 hours during the day. She has full roam of the house and sleeps on the bed with me at night. I will provide your pet with what he/she is used to having!
“We’re feeling blessed to have found Kate. Lots of reasons, to wit: the update emails in just the right quantity and frequency, the smiles on the canine and feline faces in every pix she sent us, the non-issue she made of the hairballs and pee, the total absence of emergency calls, and the better-than-we-left-it condition of the place when we arrived back home.”
“I 100% highly recommend Mark to watch your babies. He is trust worthy, communicative, and reliable. Not only did I contact him with less than 24 hours notice, he followed my every direction perfectly and documented the whole experience via text with pictures. With a great sense of humor i appreciate while not being home, I would absolutely re-hire Mark again to watch my pups.”
“She is the best with our pups! They adore and she takes really good care of them. Is very careful and attentive with our one dogs allergies, making sure he doesn’t eat his sisters food, which we are so greatful for!”

About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.
About: As a child I was always drawn to animals and their pure spirits. I have extensive experience with pocket pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, mice) and foster rabbits with a local rabbit rescue in my home. I have 10+ years of experience with small dogs and mid-sized dogs with a specialization in the needs of brachycephalic breeds like shih tzu's, bulldogs, Frenchies and more. I am versed in first aid for small animals and dogs. Can't forget the kitties! I have yet to meet a kitty I didn't love. I strongly feel like they need love too and look forward to caring for them in your home where the majority of them are the most comfortable. I am a stay at home/work from home mom who is looking forward to instilling a love of animals for my son as he gets older. My days typically look calm and chill as I spend a lot of them in my workshop or outside enjoying the nice weather with my animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I tend to my rabbits, rabbit fosters, guinea pig and two dogs of my own, Selune and Rosie. I look forward to going to where your pet feels most comfortable and establishing a calm and comforting presence for them. As someone who understands how important it is to keep pets from becoming stressed during owner vacations, I pride myself on the ability to go to meet your animals on their own turf and level in order to create the least amount of stress possible. I am happy to take walks off your plate if you are busy at work and ensure your pet is getting the level of attention and love you would provide yourself if you could during a busy work day. I am trustworthy and neat in terms of house sitting, stick to designated areas you allow me to inhabit during the stay, and ensure your pet and your home is safe and secure while you're away.
About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.
About: I have so much love and patience for fur babies. I have cared for multiple animals over the years including cats, hamsters, hunting dogs and even some ferrets. In my schedule I have free time on the weekends and Friday afternoon for now. I’m working on freeing up more time in the future. I have a safe space in my living room and a big yard, it’s unfenced but I have the time and energy to go for long walks.
About: I’ve taken care of a sick dog and a rabbit for 3 years now on separate occasions when the families go on trips. I always make sure to play with the animals. I currently work full time but am available any time around my scheduled work times! I will work very hard to make sure everything lines up to how it should even with my work schedule. I will make sure that everything is in place when I leave and I will keep the house clean! I will of course also take care of your pets and play with them!
About: I've had pets in the past and love caring for them and playing with them. Grew up with a cat, had a dog and coserved a cat with my wife. Because we may move some time internationally, we haven't wanted to make a long term commitment, be we would love to be grandpetparents where we help out by babysitting while people need to travel pet free for a short time. I work full time but from home several days a week. My son, who loves animals will be around on days I am not at home. We would welcome any pets as part of the family. They can cuddle with us on the couch and play out in the yard or chill on our screened in porch. Unfortunately, we cant care forndigs for more than 5 or 6 days as we arent physically able to care for them.
About: Hi! My name is James. I work from home as a podcast agent and have a very active lifestyle. I’m a digital nomad so I travel frequently, I make my own hours so I can be flexible! I started dog sitting in 2024 originally through referrals, then through Trusted House Sitters, now on to Rover! I have done sits up to 4 months long in Hawaii and as short as 2 days in Belgium, I can be flexible with scheduling. I truly love being around dogs, I go on walks frequently and I love having a companion as I travel. I’ve had dogs all my life and realizing rover would be a great way of connecting me with great dogs and opportunities! Your pets safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to keep a stress free environment and to ensure you know everything is taken care of. Feel free to ask any questions or reach out, I’d be happy to have a chat to show you why I’d be a great sitter :). I work online, so travel has become a huge priority for me and a way i've found routine is staying at peoples homes for a few months, while watching their dog! Oh i've had dogs all my life, they are family to me in every way, most breaks I take throughout the day are to give my dog some love or take her potty
“Caitlynn is GREAT. She saved me in a pinch when I had another sitter back out mid-sit while I was away for a funeral. Caitlynn is responsive, professional, and kind. My two huskies love her, she’s great with following instructions and being flexible if needed. I will rebook Caitlynn anytime and highly recommend her services. If I was a millionaire I’d reserve her full time for myself LOL. Thanks Caitlyn!”
About: I have 2 standard poodles and a golden doodle of my own and have been taking care of them the last 2 years! I want a client to have the same level of care that I provide for my dogs. I work a 9 to 5 job but am free after Monday through Friday with some added flexibility on Saturday’s and sundays. Available for house sitting with the understanding I would be gone during those hours Monday to friday I will walk your dog, play with them, feed them/ give them water, plenty of treats, and love them like my own!

FAQs for House Sitting - Anaquassacook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 297 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Anaquassacook. 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 Anaquassacook 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 Anaquassacook 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 Anaquassacook 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 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.
