“Absolutely wonderful. This was my first occasion having a sitter. She was knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. 5 STARS!”
“We’re so grateful for Abby!! First time using Rover and we felt so comfortable leaving our pups behind with her to care for them. The photos and updates of them truly were the best! We hope to have Abby again next time we vacation,”
“Zoe was great with our three dogs! One of our pups has special needs and another needs medication, and she handled everything really well. She kept us updated with pictures and communicated throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and the house looked great when we got home. We’d definitely book with Zoe again!”
“John was great very communicative, attentive, and punctual with Bella. This was my first experience using a sitter outside of my family, and I must say I was really happy to have found him. He made the entire process comfortable and stress-free, and I would absolutely recommend him as a sitter.”
“We had a great experience with Norma. She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout Mason’s stay. We really appreciated the photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Mason again! ❤️”
“Professional, reliable, and clearly loves dogs- even nervous little Yorkies who bark a lot :) I returned from vacation to find my house cleaner than I left it. Highly recommend!”
“Julie does a fantastic job with the dogs and the house. It really puts the mind at ease knowing that everything is taken care of while we are out of town or even just enjoying a late night out. Julie is the best”
“Elizabeth took such great care of our dogs while we were away. She was diligent about their feeding schedule and kept in touch with pictures and updates. I’ll definitely use her again!”
“Sherry came to the rescue at the last minute to stay for 4 days with my pups after my dogsitter cancelled. I was unable to meet her but she graciously met my best friend to be introduced to Finn and Charlie. She played ball with them and gave them lots of snuggles as well as sent photos and stayed in communication with us while we were gone. Will be calling Sherry in the future.”
“Kathleen (Kathy) was excellent! The "boys" were well taken care of by Kathy. She was very attentive to one dog's medicines and making sure that they both went out regularly. I would definitely recommend her for your pet-sitting/house-sitting needs.”

I make sure your pets stay safe in their familiar environment by sticking to their usual routine, securing all entrances, and avoiding risky situations on walks. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates during every visit.
“Kisten and Jeffrey were excellent with our pup. We definitely appreciate the care and willingness to take our pup to our vet when a rash and excessive itching started. Upon arrival she was also diagnosed with a double ear infection. Meds were given and she’s doing better. Then we had an appointment with a construction co. They monitored the appointment including pictures. Couldn’t have done this without them. Many thanks for a couple who genuinely cares and has knowledge to take care of our pet and home in our absence!!! Will definitely book with them again. Many thanks again to this couple, couldn’t have done it without them.”
“Kira was a fantastic house guest and dog sitter for my cat and dog. My dog is extremely shy with new people and Kira took the time to get Mia to warm up to her. We will be using her again in the future!”
About: I have 10+ years in caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. Before I started my family, the animals I’ve cared for were treated as my own. I look forward to experiencing life with your furry friends. I currently work full time in management at a dog boarding / daycare facility. I specialize in dogs of all ages, temperament levels, and medical conditions. I have a full fenced back yard with a kiddie pool (weather permitting), water bowls, and my own three legged dog to keep your pup company.

We had a great experience with Norma. She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout Mason’s stay. We really appreciated the photos she sent us, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch Mason again! ❤️
Emma was amazing! We felt completely at ease leaving her with our three dogs. Her communication was clear and while we were out of town she gave us morning and evening updates with pictures. We wouldn't hesitate to book Emma again for our house sitting/pet sitting needs. Highly recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Bentley! Stacy stayed in our home with him while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and trustworthy hands. She took such great care of Bentley and were incredibly respectful of our home. She kept us updated, gave Bentley lots of love and attention, and made sure he stayed comfortable and happy throughout our time away. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a home exactly as we left it meant so much to us. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with Stacy again!
Sophia was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our Frankie had the best time. She was kind, proactive, and always attentive to Frankie’s needs, whether it was playtime, potty breaks, walks, or snuggles. She also kept us updated throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable, especially since it was the first time leaving our puppy with her. We could tell right away that Frankie had an amazing time with her, and we’re already looking forward to having her pet sit again!
Meredith was an outstanding pet sitter! She clearly loves animals and her calm and caring demeanor let us vacation worry free knowing our pets were in great hands. Super flexible too-when our sneaky young Basset escaped his makeshift kennel she communicated right away and we were able to figure out a solution no problem. Highly recommend!

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 Avonak 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 Avonak 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 Avonak 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.
