About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years, so I know firsthand that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, cuddly and calm, or a little shy at first. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to their routines, love giving plenty of playtime and affection, and will treat your pup with the same care I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is getting both loving attention and dependable care while you’re away. Would love if dog(s) are getting treated regularly for fleas/ticks especially if coming into my home. I currently stay at home all day during the week so I would be able to give full attention to your pets needs. If they’re staying over the weekend I would accommodate my plans to be home while they’re in my care. Your pet(s) would have free range in my first floor apartment townhouse. There is a communal dog park that is walking distance I would take them to only if no one else was there. We have a private community that I would take them on walks throughout the day.
“JoHannah stayed with my dog and cat over a holiday weekend. She kept me updated on what was happening at home and included pictures! She is friendly and communicative. My pets seemed to enjoy their weekend with JoHannah.”
About: I have been in a dog family my whole life! Labs at my dads & many different rescues. Pittbulls, chihuahuas, and everything in between. There is not a puppy (all dogs are puppies to me lol 🐾🐕) that I have not found a bond with. I am respectful and loving to them, their parents and space. I have been walking dogs professionally for about 2 year now, with 300+ visits under my belt. For me personally, my world is my/all dogs, my/all children, myself/all women, and nature! We are out almost every day enjoying life and being of service to others. I would love to become fast friends with you and your pets! I'm currently working part-time at a women's shelter for domestic violence on the weekends. I am home with my daughter and my teenage son for the summer. I'm in and out of the house a couple times a day, doing dog walks or taking kids places. But my availability is widely open and pretty typical with a wonderful support system. I can usually make anything work. I have a fenced in yard with a wonderful dog door in our laundry room. They have an easy ramp to go in and out of our backyard, with 2 friendly dogs to hang out with our 12lbs lil boy, almost 2 years old and the most gentle mixed lab/shepard/collie, six years old sweet girl. Our yard is shady, with a lot of big trees, plenty of room to roam around! Plus our neighbor dogs are our best friends too.
“Our dog loved Zoe! He was so happy to see her that he’d cry and lean on her. This speaks volumes to what a great job she did with him! I’d have her sit with him again and again! So lucky we found her!”
“Michelle is such a calm and reassuring presence around dogs. She can read their body language and reacts exactly how the dog needs. I would be thrilled to have her watch my dog again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about a year officially, but grew up with animals. I have experience caring for smaller dogs to medium size dogs as well as cats and pocket pets. I am a massage therapist so my schedule is quite flexible. I am mostly able to do afternoon and evening shifts (weekdays and weekends). Sometimes able to do Saturday mornings depending on my schedule. I utilize public transit and am happy to come and stay at a clients house. I’ve done this a few times with clients and it helps especially with anxious pets to have someone at home vs just popping in for a walk.
“Taylor was great! She gave lots of updates, and let me know immediately when my dog got into the Christmas candy I left on the floor (luckily he didn’t eat any yet!) She left the house exactly as we left it, and I would not hesitate to contact her first next time we go out of town!”
“Lisa is amazing! She was able to help us out last minute and took such good care of our doggies. She sent us so many photos and videos, and I could tell our dogs were getting all the love. Would absolutely book her again!!”
“AnnaClaire is outstanding 🩷 I could not recommend her more! She housesit and took care of my kitten for nearly two weeks while I was away. Every day she was consistently reliable, communicated often, and really took such great care of my kitten and house. She quickly became my kitty’s new best friend. I would trust her time and time again!”
About: My family has had dogs on and off since I was little. I've always loved dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities. I have my own Mini Goldendoodle sister named Harley! We got her when she was just 6 weeks old and she's now 5 years old living her best life :) I especially love taking Harley for walks as it helps me to get my own exercise. I make sure to play with her often and give her lots of cuddles. Anything to make sure she feels safe, loved, and healthy! I am a young professional working a full-time remote job in Higher Education. I typically work 8:30-5pm Monday through Thursday and 11:30-8pm on Fridays. Weekday nights and weekends I'm usually available! I keep Harley on a leash when she's in the backyard and on a leash during walks. We mostly only feed her dog food with the occasional fruit, vegetable, or treat after research. She sleeps in her crate at night and she stays in her crate when no one is home. Depending on the care you need, I would treat your furry friends the same as my own with the same safety cautions and care.
About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.
About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible. I can demonstrate experience by noting the breeds of animals you've cared for, any behavior challenges. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am passionate about caring for animals. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, loving care while keeping pet parents updated.🐾 I provide loving, reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Depending on the service, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I am experienced with dogs and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort. I will also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for.🐾
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little, and there has always been a dog in my family. Last October, I unfortunately had to put down my dog of 14 years. She was my best friend, and I miss her dearly. Since I’m not quite ready to have another full-time dog, I felt that caring for other people’s dogs would be the perfect way for me to still spend time with them. I’ve always enjoyed going on walks, visiting parks, or simply spending time outside with dogs. I truly believe dogs have such short lives, and they deserve to be loved, spoiled, and cared for every single day. Watching a dog fits naturally into my daily schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s going for walks, spending time outside, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I enjoy making dogs part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every dog in my care. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outside. I understand how important trust is when leaving a pet with someone, and I treat every dog like family by making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Allyce did a fantastic job watching my dog and cat while my boyfriend and I were away for nearly a week. They loved her! They played and snuggled together which is just what they needed. She sent pictures everyday and gave updates along the way. Highly recommend.”
“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”
“Kendra cared for our 2 large dogs for 5 days. I have a 2 year old Great Dane Mastiff mix and a 12 year old English Mastiff. They both instantly fell in love with her kind nature. My old guy needs daily meds and an eye drop in his eye, Kendra had no issues with that. We came back, our house was clean and well kept. Most importantly our babies were happy and had a great time hanging out with her. Will rebook soon.”
About: Hi! I am a HR Manager who is looking for full time employment. The job market is tough so I need to make some extra money. What better way to do than be around animals?! I LOVE animals and have thee cats of my own, who are VERY spoiled. I’ve rescued strays and taken them to shelters to get the care they need. I’m very responsible and reliable and I hope that people will see that and allow me to care for their loved ones. Pets are just as important as people are, and they deserve to be treated well. I have a ton of flexibility of being available during the daytime while you are at work. I prefer to not board animals at my place because of my cats. I look forward to working with you! Right now I am very flexible with time until I find a new job. I was laid off from my last job so I’m currently searching but I am available almost any time for now! I have a litter robot and I keep it extremely clean. You would never know I own cats. I will make sure to treat your home like my own.
About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brunswick
Christa was everything you could want in a petsitter…she communicated clearly and often, was professional with my husband and I, playful & loving with our dogs, and sent the most amazing photos of the animals while we were away. All this made it so much easier to enjoy our trip knowing our dogs (and chickens!) were well taken care of.
Mandi did such a fantastic job with our 2 cats and senior dog (who often needs special attention and medication) while we were away. I could not recommend her services enough. She had excellent communication that made us feel at ease while on vacation. She will be the first person we will look to should we need a pet sitter in the future. Thank you again, Mandi! You’re an absolute delight!
Taylor was great! She gave lots of updates, and let me know immediately when my dog got into the Christmas candy I left on the floor (luckily he didn’t eat any yet!) She left the house exactly as we left it, and I would not hesitate to contact her first next time we go out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Brunswick is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,271 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:
- 89% 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.
