About: Hi, I’m Jeremy! I’ve been around animals for over 34 years and have had a lifelong love for both dogs and cats. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention, patience, and affection I would want for my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I always take the time to learn their unique needs and routines. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, compassionate care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care for your pets throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many holidays. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I strive to be reliable, responsive, and available when you need someone you can trust with your furry family members. 🐾❤️ When pets stay in my home, they are treated like family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, exercise, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a quiet place to rest, I strive to provide a stress-free experience filled with love and care. My goal is for both you and your pet to have peace of mind, knowing they are in a safe and caring environment.

About: I've had my own dogs and cats as well as done dog sitting when I was a teenager! I live teaching dogs new tricks when sitting because it helps me connect with them more!

McKenzie was such an amazing dog sitter for our girl! She kept us up to date on everything they did, and even took her to the dog park! she cared so much for her! I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter while they are on vacation! Our dog loved her as well!
Gabriella was wonderful! She took great care of our baby during the day while we were on vacation at Myrtle beach. She sent us pictures and videos and even gave us some advice on leash training. She made sure our pup had a good time, ate all her food and used the potty while we had some mommy daddy time. We will definitely book again! ❤️

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bucksport
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bucksport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Bucksport commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 178 sitters in Bucksport, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
