“Jessica and Kayla were amazing, highly recommend! They took wonderful care of our two dogs and house while we were away for a week, and provided us with updates. We will definitely be using them again in the future :)”


“We contacted Haley about a week before our trip as our regular sitter backed out at the last minute. We have four dogs so we don’t just trust anyone with our fur babies. At the meet and greet we felt very comfortable with Haley from the get go. One of our dogs, who has extreme anxiety, was immediately on her lap with his tail wagging, which he does not normally do. This made us feel very comfortable with Haley watching our dogs. While we were gone, we received many pictures from Haley and she always let us know when she was leaving the house and they would be alone for a period of time. Knowing that they were well taken care of at home we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely hire Haley again to take care of our precious fur babies. We are already getting ready to book her again!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for animals since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, and more unique pets, including reptiles and small animals. My mom even has a possum and a snake, so I’m very comfortable with out-of-the-ordinary pets and special care routines. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently a college student at Coastal Carolina University and a member of the club cheer team. Outside of classes and practices, I have flexible availability and would love to spend my free time caring for pets. I am available during weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a job to me. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’ll follow any instructions you provide closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and special care needs. I treat every home and pet with respect, compassion, and responsibility. I make sure pets are always supervised, exercised appropriately, and given plenty of attention and affection. I believe animals thrive on kindness and consistency, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
“We are beyond pleased with Stephanie. She is just so incredibly kind, and we loved all her "pup-dates" with photos and videos. My girls were happy and calm the entire time. Then she goes above and beyond washing our linens and vacuumed up the tumbleweeds our Husky loves to leave around the house. I absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats frequently since middle school, often in house sitting settings as well. I have had dogs throughout my entire life and have many friends with cats and have spent ample time with them. I have dealt with numerous animals with health issues or problems, including older pets and puppies. I understand the value of all the little unique things that are important to an owner to ensure their pet is taken care of, healthy, protected and loved to their standard. My family rescued a puppy this past year, and I took on a large responsibility in training and watching him during his more crucial stages. I have worked with and spent time around multiple rescued animals and understand the value of creating a comfortable environment from them and extra care to detail as they often have triggers from past experiences. I also work with puppies through a local breeder and have learned a lot about puppies and their development. I am a skilled problem solver, know how to communicate well and can recognize when over-communication is important. I manage my time well and feel that people in my life would consider me an overachiever in all things I do. I love animals and miss having them to interact with while at school; therefore, time spent with them is always valuable to me. I am currently a full-time student at Coastal Carolina University and play club volleyball. I have always worked and played a sport full time alongside school, and after transferring here recently, I have found myself with time for a job. With a schedule that makes my routine look different day by day I have found this would be a great fit as I can be flexible in working with clients. My weekends are free and I have lots of longer gaps throughout my day between classes which could be valuable to those who have to leave their pets for long periods of time. I'm from colorado so going home is not an option for me often and widens my availbilty. I have experience working in apartments, houses, ect of all kinds. Often my pet care includes house sitting which I am very comfortable with. I understand the value and basic decency of respect to others homes and possesions. The golden rule is a fundamental aspect of how I operate in my day to day and I would never do something I wouldnt want done to me, my pets or my home. I am a very honest person and would not hesitate to communicate anything that happens in my time with clients pets or their homes. Honesty is the best policy and valuable in maintinging proper care. I am a great problem solver and have lots of experience with handling conflict. I have grown up very indepentdent and am confident people in my life would consider me to be highly reliable and responsible. Positions as team captains, tutoring and as an RA speak to these traits.

I highly recommend Kristen! She took amazing care of our dogs, Chester and Buster, as well as our home. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, sent photos, walked them regularly, and showered them with love. Some neighbors even reached out to me and gave her a thumbs up. We returned to very happy dogs and a perfectly kept house. We will definitely be using her services again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Bucksport is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $27 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 Bucksport 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 Bucksport 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 Bucksport 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.

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.
