About: I have experience caring for all ages of dogs, from puppies to seniors. I have two dogs, a Golden Retriever named Oliver, who is 11 and a Lab mix, Juniper, who is 10. I also have three cats, a Maine Coon named Meadow, a Siamese named Healy, and a domestic shorthair named Lucie. BASED IN BOTH BUCKFIELD AND SOUTH PORTLAND I provide dog walking and drop-in dog and cat care throughout Buckfield and the surrounding communities, including Oxford, Paris, Norway, and the Lewiston/Auburn area. I also spend several days each week in Portland and South Portland, with drop in visits and regularly scheduled availability on alternating weekends and select weekdays. Feel free to reach out about availability in either area! I love providing attentive, personalized care and keeping pet parents updated with plenty of photos while they’re away. I am professional portrait photographer who has worked with many clients’ dogs and cats over the course of 16 years. I’m currently taking a hiatus from my photography business, and am filling my days with caring for Maine’s fluffy friends! I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m a perfect go to for more last minute needs. I’m also happy to drop in for visits or walks on a set schedule.
“Lindsey took absolutely amazing care of our kitty. She checked in with us twice and day and was highly communicative about everything ranging from feeding schedule to the general mood/behaviors being exhibited from our feline daughter. We will 100% be using Lindsey in the future for our pet sitting needs, and you definitely should too! You can fully trust that Lindsey will take care of your pet and respect your living spaces.”
“I was so happy to find Jillian, as a sitter myself I have high standards and Jillian stepped up to the task. She followed all instructions left and sent detailed updates each day. Definitely felt at ease while I was on my trip, I came home to happy pups and a clean doggie room!! Highly recommend Jillian!!!”
“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs is more than just something I do on the side—it’s my everyday life. I’m a Co Packleader at High Rovers Dog Daycare, where I work with dogs of all different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I have years of experience in dog daycare and am trained in pet first aid, dog body language, and group management. I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog is having fun, becoming overwhelmed, needs a break, or needs a little redirection. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and learning what makes them feel comfortable and happy. I also have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, shy or nervous dogs, dogs who need extra patience, and dogs who prefer a slower pace. Whether your dog wants to spend the day playing fetch, going for walks, practicing basic training, or simply relaxing beside me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every pet the same level of patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own dogs. 🐾 Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work at High Rovers Dog Daycare, where I spend my workdays caring for dogs, supervising playgroups, and making sure each pup is safe, comfortable, and having a great day. Outside of daycare, I’m available for in-home pet sitting and care. I’m used to planning my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and making sure they receive the attention, potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, and companionship they need. Because dogs are already such a big part of my daily routine, caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore—it’s something I genuinely love doing. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. 🐾 Whether your pet is staying with me through daycare or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. At High Rovers, I work with dogs in a supervised daycare environment where we focus on safe play, socialization, enrichment, and reading each dog’s individual body language. I’m trained in pet first aid, body language, and group management, and I have years of experience working with dogs with different personalities and play styles. For in-home pet sitting, I keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable and what they’re used to at home. Whether I’m caring for your dog at High Rovers or in their own home, I want you to feel confident that they’re in caring, experienced hands while you’re away. 🐾
“Brianna was an amazing sitter for our cats! We received detailed reports each day of the time spent with our cats. We will absolutely be booking Brianna again based on professionalism and care for our cats.”
“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
