“We were so grateful to have found Anna for this stay!! She was very helpful and stayed in touch with updates and photos. We were extra worried about leaving Lexi for this trip, as it was our first time away after our other dog passed. Anna was so understanding and took great care of our baby (and house!) while we were gone!! Thank you so much Anna!!!”

“Linda was amazing! We left our 13 year old morkie (a very nervous and shy dog) for the first time ever & to say we were nervous was an understatement, but Linda quickly made us and our dog feel as ease. We are truly grateful to her.”

About: I’ve always believed that pets are family, and I know firsthand how much love, trust, and responsibility come with caring for them. As a longtime dog mom, including caring for a senior dog, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I take pride in making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else. My goal is to provide the same level of love and care that I would want for my own dogs. I currently work remotely 2–3 days a week, which allows me the flexibility to provide pets with plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, giving me additional time to dedicate to their care. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I do my best to accommodate their individual needs and schedules. Whether it’s playtime, walks, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I want your furry family member to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize maintaining their regular feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to help maintain a familiar and stress-free environment. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for!

About: I have taken care of my own dogs (and cats) for over 20 years now. Along the way, friends, and family members have trusted me with taking care of their furry friends! Including walking, feeding, bathing, training, and of course playing with them! I work a full time job with flexible hours, I take care of pets in my free time just because of my love for pets! The only required time I have is from 9am-1pm on Sundays, othere then that there should be no contentions with my schedule. In my own apartment, there is currently a cat, he is very friendly and gets along and plays with others. In most cases, I travel and care for pets at the clients house (especially for overnight and long term stays.)

About: Dogs are a gift to the earth we will never be able to fully appreciate or understand, the protection and kindness and beauty of their soul is something I truly admire. My roommate in college and longtime best friend has a “Canine Training and Management” degree and I have learned extensive tricks and tools from her to help with any disciplinary issues you may have. Dogs just need to be understood and most of the time we just aren’t listening! I have two cats, who are my world. When I’m not working I’m spending most of my time playing with them, cleaning up after them, and making them happy! I would treat your animals as if they were my own, with the level of protection and care that I would protect my own babies with.

“Kimberly is an exceptional sitter! We went away for a long weekend and she took excellent care of our Lab-mix, Penny. Her communication was excellent and she regularly sent photos and videos of Penny during her walks and play time. Kimberly was also very thoughtful and considerate while staying in our home - she even brought in the mail and packages for us. We would recommend Kimberly 100%, and so would Penny!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Brunswick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 598 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brunswick. 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 Brunswick 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 Brunswick 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 Brunswick 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brunswick. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
