“Anita did a wonderful job. Actually my fur baby Bella, choose Anita. She's very pleasant, kind & sweet. Anita stayed overnight in my home, my baby actually slept with Anita, which she's never done with me. She gave me daily updates and photos. I will be using Anita when I go out of town again for sure.”
“Jo-Anne is THE BEST! She was very communicative and took time to send thoughtful updates which I really appreciated. In addition to being such a great caregiver to Darla she left my home in immaculate condition which she did not need to do. I look forward to having Jo-Anne back anytime! You will, too.”
“Harper is amazing!! She was so great with our pup and our home!! We received daily pictures and updates and we can not express our gratitude enough! Thank you so much Harper!!!!”
“Lindsay stayed at our house for a few days while we were out of town. She watched our fur babies like they're her own. Will definitely use her services again - actually, we already have her booked for an October trip we're taking!”
“Tawny is just fantastic! My dogs love her, she is super communicative, and my house is always cleaner than k left it. I couldn’t be happier with her services, and I hope she is available every time I have to travel! 🤞🏼”
“Tiffany was GREAT! My baby was well cared for and given a little extra attention as he gets nervous with fireworks and loud noises (it was over the 4th weekend). He was happy and healthy when we returned and she kept us updated with pics and notes during the weekend. Tiffany was also super respectful of our home and we will absolutely book with her again!”
“Robert and Lea were wonderful. My boy Kelly loved his time with them! Robert took great care of the house, even laundry. Lea watered plants and became Kelly’s new best friend. They were both very kind and gave Kelly a special chew bone as a gift. Wonderful people and will definitely request their services again.”
“Alona took great care of our pets. Communication was great and we returned to our house being even cleaner than when we left it. Definitely recommend her and would have her watch our pets again!”
“Alexis was amazing! Took great care of my two dogs all weekend. Sent me updates with photos. Took them for walks and overall did amazing! Will definitely contact her for the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“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!”
“It was our first booking on Rover, so it was a bit scary. But then Shauna visited for a meet-and-greet prior to the sitting, and everybody fell in love with her. Gizmo couldn't stop wagging his tail, it was love at first sight. We, too, clicked right away with Shauna, who has a wonderfully upbeat and caring personality. Everything went perfectly on the day of the sitting; we could not have been happier. We will use her services again without hesitation. We highly recommend Shauna!!! <3”
“If I could give Nikki more than 5 stars, I would! She took amazing care of Bubbles. Sent a lot of pictures and was easy to communicate with. Nikki went above and beyond taking care of Bubbles, which gave us peace of mind. Nikki is awesome!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Katie, she watched my three dogs for over a week and treated them like her own. She was thoughtful, kind, and loving. She asked if I wanted photo updates and sent them daily, she’s incredibly honest and I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her. Highly highly recommend Katie to anyone.”
“Zionna is fabulous! She has an upbeat and optimistic energy and our dogs really loved her from the meet and greet on. She sent us regular updates/pictures. She left our home looking clean and tidy. We had peace of mind and really enjoyed having her house sit for us, we will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“All I can say is WOW!! I’ve been looking for someone to keep my two babies for a while but I’ve only trusted my family. As of today……. I now trust st Daniella with my babies! I was updated the whole time I was gone, my little girl has trust issues but she trusted Daniella! That really meant a lot!! Thank you so much you are now a part of our family!!!”
About: The house I grew up in always had dogs around, we used to train them for shows so I have an idea of how to keep pets safe and out of trouble, I have experience with dogs as tiny as a dachshund and as big as a boston mastiff so i’m prepared for anything. I am currently a student at HGTC working on getting my degree in ultrasound tech. I also work part time at the Applebee’s as a server. While all that seems like a lot I actually do get more free time then I expected and I would love to spend that time watching your pets. I like to treat every animal as if it was my own, giving them the same love and respect I would my pets. Whatever you decide is best for how you would like me to watch your animals is how I will do it, it takes a lot of trust to find a sitter so it’s important to me that I follow any guidelines given.
About: A pet is more than just a pet, they’re a part of the family. I’ve had many dogs over the years, so I understand how deep that love runs. I treat all pets like they are my own, and with over 15 years experience, you can be assured that your pet with be well taken care of. I am blessed to be able to own my own business, therefore work from my own on my own hours. Pet care fits into my schedule because it’s always been the highlight of my working day, and therefore I put as much if not more energy into taking care of your furry friends as I do my own. In our house we are all equal, and that includes pets. Your pets will get endless love, play time, exercise, and attention as needed. I am happy to make accommodations to suit your pets special needs, so that they are happy, comfortable and enjoying every minute.
“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!”
“Paris is an exceptional pet sitter who is caring, playful with our pups, punctual, polite, and trustworthy. We were lucky to find her during our vacation at Myrtle Beach. She even recommended an awesome restaurant!! Don’t hesitate to book with her, she’s the best!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bucksport on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 378 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bucksport. 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 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
