About: I have had a variety of pets my whole life of all shapes, sizes, and disabilities. I currently have four dogs all rescued from South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Aruba, and Costa Rica. I also have two cats that I rescued and caught outside, many turtles, a hamster, and fish. In my high school years I took many animal science classes and advanced veterinary classes as well as interned as a veterinary assistant. I have also dealt with administering medication to different types of animals along with dealt with disabilities for one of my dogs had epilepsy. I have pet sat many different sizes, breeds, ages, and types of animals and feel as though I am very qualified. I am currently a student at coastal Carolina university majoring in engineering and am on the cheerleading team but I only have one to two classes a day this spring semester with a spread out practice schedule. I have my car at school and have plenty of time to drive and take my time to care for pets. I currently have my one dog down at school with me and a kitten in my apartment which is fairly small I would feel more comfortable traveling to a clients home which I have done in the past, but arrangements can be made. As for traveling to a clients home I would love to meet the clients and pets first to make sure I can give the right care as the clients request.
About: Back in 2022 I had one girl ask if I can watch her dog and I told her of course I love dogs and then after that I had so many more people asked me after I told them that I watch dogs and cats and ever since then I absolutely loved what I did. Seeing different types of pets with different personalities made me love it more. So I work throughout the week and I wanted to start only on the weekends first just to get myself through the door but maybe in the future I can make this a full time job Mostly a lot of the animals I took care of I got to be apart of there homes all of them so I got to stay over take care of them play with them take them on long walks feed them and just show them lots and lots of love and attention cause that’s what they need. Every animal is different so whatever the client tells me I will follow instructions through and I love to send lots of pictures of there animals to clients to let them know they are safe and in good hands
About: I like dogs better than most humans if I’m being completely honest haha, I’m in school right now and just trying to make some extra money while doing something I love! I can’t wait to take the best care of your dogs! I waitress some nights a week so I am mostly free during the day and some nights. I also have a boyfriend who is more than willing to help out. I do have an unfenced yard but I have a line to connect dogs to and let them run around, I live in a nice quiet area right by CCU campus so it’s perfect for walks. I have 1 roommate who is great with dogs as well. We keep our place clean.
“Chanel was responsive, timely, and provided great updates throughout her visits. She did a very thorough job and made us feel at ease leaving our pets for a long weekend. We will definitely be asking her back for more visits in the future!”
About: I have grown up around animals. I have had cats and dogs.I currently live with two dogs. I truly love all types of animals 🤍 I can be available for housesitting as well as pet sitting as this allows me to be more flexible while still working my full-time job. (Mon-Fri 8:30-5:00). I currently have Saturday and Sundays off so I can be available in the early morning, afternoon, and evenings. I can not offer availability in my home at this time but at the clients house I would make sure the animal is comfortable with me first. I would make sure of they don't have a fenced in area that they are on a leash and make sure they have plenty of exercise and cuddles before I leave!
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was about 12 years old. I have also grown up with pets, both cats and dogs and love taking care of them. I am a college student home for the summer so I will have lots of availability throughout the summer! I also have a very flexible schedule for last minute care. I have worked with many kinds of dogs of all sizes and can crate and walk easily. I am very patient and care a lot about keeping animals happy and safe.
“Thank you so much, Tiffany. I was comfortable leaving my babies with you. I would highly recommend you and I will be using you again on my next trip. Thank you so much.”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for over 15 years, and caring for them is truly my passion! I have extensive experience caring for all types of animals, from newborn puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience, specialized attention, and medication. I spent several years working at PetSmart in the grooming salon, where I cared for dogs and helped ensure they were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also volunteered for six years at an animal shelter in Prattville, Alabama, where I bathed animals, provided daily care, and gave them as much love and attention as possible. Every animal deserves kindness, compassion, and a safe place to feel loved. My experience with senior dogs is especially extensive. I currently care for a 13 year old Dachshund who uses a wheelchair for mobility and experiences seizures that require medication. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, close observation, and understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’m also a proud dog mom to seven wonderful dogs of my own: Bruno and Zarra, Great Pyrenees and Blue Heeler mixes; Chewie, a Pomchi; Ottie and Steel, Chihuahuas; Brody, a Golden Retriever and Pit Bull mix; and Rizzo, a German Shepherd. Having a diverse pack of my own has given me even more hands on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. When your pets are in my care, I treat them like family not just another booking. I understand that your pets are precious members of your household, and trusting someone with them is a big deal. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and comfortable knowing your fur babies are receiving the same love, attention, and compassion I give my own. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a curious kitten, an energetic adult, or a senior companion who needs extra care, I am here to help! I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved. 🐶🐱❤️
About: I have had a dog all 18 years of my life. Most of this time we had two dogs, so I am used to handling multiple dogs at a time! I am home from college for the summer and do not work a part time job currently, with this free time, i am able to give these animals the care they need almost 24/7. In my home, I have a very friendly dog and also a fenced in yard where they can go run around and play in. As for clients houses I will abide by their rules completely and contact them if I have any questions. Their house will be left the same or cleaner than they left it and their animals happy!
About: As a dedicated and experienced petsitter, I have a natural ability to connect with animals, making me a trusted companion for your furry friends. My deep understanding of their needs, coupled with my patience and attentive care, ensures that every pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared-for in my presence. I'm very active with the animals, ensuring they get plenty of playtime and exercise. I also prioritize communication with pet owners, frequently answering texts and sending photos and videos to keep them updated and at ease. My goal is to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners. ❤️ I wake up very early around 6 or 6:30 for morning walks then I get ready for the day. I make breakfast then I’m on my way to the dog park. I have a patio with a doggie door and it’s gated around it. I take extra good care of cleaning up messes made by the animals.

“Danielle was extremely helpful and was fast to assist with an emergency dog walker that I needed. She was very fast to respond and kept me updated with pictures and texts as she walked my dog Franklin. I definitely will be contacting her again and will be a returning customer! Highly recommend Danielle as a sitter!”
About: I adopted my own boy and learned a lot just from our short visits in the shelter. I was asked to volunteer at the shelter for my strong dedication to helping him learn and providing the love he needed. I currently work at the hospital with an unusual shift. My schedule does vary, but I’m ready to fill my extra days loving in some fur babies! I have my own dog and know the worry of having to leave them by themselves. I will take care of your fur baby like my own! Unfortunately I will not be able to take any dogs into my own home as my current dog is animal aggressive from being attacked previously.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bucksport is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $16 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 664 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bucksport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
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.
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.
