“Our dogs like her better than us! She was a remarkable friend—she immediately felt like family and I feel 1000% better about any future travel knowing I have someone like Montserrat to watch our home and our fur babies. Love, love, love!!! 10/5 stars”
“Excellent experience! Our dogs were very well taken care of, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We received great communication and updates throughout the stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book Jill again! Absolutely recommend Jill! SHE IS AMAZING!! 🐾❤️”
“James was great with our dog, Dolly. Very quick responses and clear communication throughout the stay. He was very patient with Dolly who is quite anxious and timid. Highly recommend James for your dog sitting needs!”
About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).
“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”
“Brooke was phenomenal! She and our skittish little dog, Bingo, hit it off right away during a "meet & greet". She took great care of Bingo, sending us pictures & updates on a regular basis. we were able to fully enjoy our 10 day trip, knowing our home and fur baby were in such good hands. We will definitely want Brooke back the next time we leave town.”
“Jennifer was a fantastic house sitter for an 11 day stay for my 2 large dogs and 2 cats. This was an emergency, and so I had to book her with only 2 days notice. She came to meet with me and the animals before, and very quickly learned the routines for walking, feeding, and caring for the animals and the household. Everything was fantastic during her stay and she had excellent communication and tons of pictures. She's also kind of a neat freak, and left the house cleaner than when I left it!! I know my animals were well cared for, and would definitely have her back. 10/10 - and I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a house sitter!”
“Jessie looked after our soon to be 19 yr old kitty, Bella. She's a tough one...blind, deaf in one ear, has asthma and in renal failure (but is still going strong). Oh, Bella also has attitude...aka...tortietude...the kind a Persain tortoiseshell, senior cat would have. Trust me, I had reservations leaving her for one night, but I did. Thankfully, Jessie came through. Jessie was reliable in every way...even when it came to medicating Bella, which turned out to be more difficult than the consult. I guess, because Bella is now blind, taking a treat, with medication hidden inside, from a stranger, is a no-no. Anyway, we were able to talk things through, and ultimately, late in the evening, Jessie was able to manually give Bella her medications...and I was able to sleep soundly knowing Bella was in good hands. Jessie is a kind soul, has patience, and cared enough to meet Bella where she was. For that, I would hire her again in a heart beat.”
“Akilah went above and beyond. She helped me out when another sitter cancelled last second. My dog and cat loved her as soon as they met her. She sent me photos and videos while I was away. She even took out the trash and washed the sheets in the room she was staying in!! Will definitely use her again.”
“I was VERY happy with Tierra. She took great care of my pups and my house . She sent so many great pictures and videos throughout her stay. She was very interactive with them. She played with them so much my pups were exhausted when I got home, which was great because I was exhausted after my trip as well. My pups loved her. They were sad to see her leave at the end of the weekend. I will be using Tierra again, in fact, in the next couple of weeks.”
About: I love dogs nothing makes me more happy.i love being around them . Im very dependable and always be on time .They make me so happy and puts smile on my face every time. But when I was a little girl and still to this day I dont have any pictures of me with animals but I will be taking some for you. I love to take them out for walks and get them plenty of excerise. I will be Making sure they stay hydrated at the beginning to end. I would make sure they're well fed and Maintain a clean and safe environment for the dog. I will Report any difficulties or behavioral changes noticed during interaction with him/her. I would definitely Inform owner of anything wrong with the dog, such as coughing, bloody stools or cuts. I love animals let me prove it to you.😉
About: I have loved animals since I was a young child. I love caring for dogs and also the flexibility to travel, so I do not have a pup of my own. I started dog sitting in high school and college while on breaks from school and it brings me so much joy to care for everyone's pups. I work full-time in a physical therapy clinic, so I am typically able to run home during my lunch break if dogs are in need of a restroom break. I am always excited to spend time with animals in any way possible! Sometimes this looks like stopping at someone's house on the way home from work if they need walked, staying in their home, or their dog(s) staying with me. I do not have any pets of my own, so if your dog does not get along well with other dogs they will be comfortable in my home. I have a roommate who also loves dogs but does not have any pets. If your dog(s) love others, we can enjoy walks and dog parks and play dates with others! I am very careful when entering and residing in others homes, and try to make sure the environment is the same or cleaner than I left it.
“Mary was super sweet and took great care of my dogs. She even sent pics which I thought was great while we were away. I will continue to book her anytime I need a dog sitter!!! 5 stars!!!!!”
“Abby was great! She helped us out for weekend house/dog sitting in a pinch! She did great, sending updates and photos. Definitely recommend and will use again.”
About: Growing up in a heavily animal-oriented household, I fell in love with caring for animals of all kinds. With a mother who is a professional groomer and previously a vet tech, I was exposed to dogs and animals of all breeds, temperaments, ages, and more. I have been taking on animal sitting “gigs” for as long as I can remember, and love every animal I meet! I am versed in different medical care and always willing to learn anything to help. I currently work full time with dogs on a daily basis, but love to fit in extra care when I can. I am often available for house visits, overnight visits, and more! Ideally for overnight visits, the pup/pet would be okay for 8 hours at a time due to work, but always willing to be flexible or work around as best I can. I love getting to care for pet’s in their own home, as it adds an extra level of comfort for them. I love learning their routines and following a structure that is familiar to them to make things a little less stressful!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and lizards throughout my lifetime. I have frequently dog sat for my sister’s goodlendoodle and poodle over the years. I am a teacher so weekends I am available for boarding after 3:30 on Fridays. I am also available to stay in homes as well. I have a large fenced in yard for your dogs to enjoy and play in. I currently have no animals in my home. I have a great neighborhood for walks.
About: I’ve always grown up taking care of dogs and have loved being around animals for as long as I can remember. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet the same way I would my own. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away I’m flexible and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they can stay comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or bedtime routines, I’m happy to follow your instructions. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and house rules. I’ll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brunswick
Our dog Carmen loved his weekend with Eliza. She was prompt in arriving, kept us informed, played ball with him until he wore himself out and he fell asleep on his blanket. Eliza was very respectful of our home and even cleaned my shower when I ran out of time with back to back traveling. We appreciate her care for our pet and will definitely book with her again. Thanks again Eliza!
This was our first time having someone stay to watch our three standard poodles. I was nervous when picking someone. I read reviews and decided Robert was the one. I hope my review can help others find someone like Robert for their dogs. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We felt so comfortable with Robert. He stayed at our house and took great care of our dogs. He took them on walks and sent me super sweet pictures. We will definitely be using him again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Brunswick is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $72 per night.

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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
