“Candace took great care of our puppy while we were out to dinner! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. Josh was happy and well cared for when we got home. We'd definitely book with her again!”

“Kristen was the best dog sitter we’ve had! She went above and beyond to care for our sweet boy and watch over our house too. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that he was well cared for. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely book again!”

“Claire is the best cat sitter we’ve had. She is attentive and takes great care of both our cat and our house. She is a great communicator. Our cat absolutely loves her. We would recommend Claire to anyone in need of a cat sitter.”

About: I've always had a natural connection with dogs since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated to my calm energy and ability to sense their needs. Your dog will not just be taken care of but will feel safe like they're spending time with an old friend. Retired computer nerd and musician available for dog walking and house visits most days of the week. Some dogs are welcome in our home with fenced in yard and 5 y.o. yellow lab Norma for playtime and companionship. My wife and I live in a wooded area in York with a large fenced in back yard. We are both retired and home most of the day to keep an eye on the pups. I am available for long or short visits to your home for dog walks and exercise to suite your needs. I am an avid walker and walk daily. I am fully insured with pet sitting/walking insurance.
“We cannot recommend Ashley enough! Prior to the house sitting stay, Ashley came to meet us and our pup. Instantly, she made our shy pup feel comfortable. She is a great communicator and updated us throughout our vacation, which put us at ease. We highly recommend booking Ashley to take care of your animals!”


About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!

“I knew when we had our first meet and greet that Patrick and Sampson would hit it off! Patrick was amazing - very communicative, enthusiastic about his stay with Samspon and he provided the best care and companionship for my big buddy. He also took great care of my home and I was totally relaxed on my vacation knowing he was here with Sampson. Hands down, highly recommend and I’ll most definitely be looking to hire Patrick for future homestays with Sampson!! A++”

“Julianne spent 2 overnights with our little Havanese, and we couldn't have been happier with her. Not only was she very responsible with following instructions as to his care but she also showed she was someone we can trust to stay in our home. Frequent updates with photos assured us that things we going smoothly. She won our shy one-year-old Jaco over. Will use her again.”

“Jim went above and beyond for us when we were in a pinch. Not only did he take great care of our dog but he also cleaned and did dishes for us that we had left in a hurry to head to a wedding. Jim was awesome and I would absolutely recommend him and utilize his services again in a heartbeat!”

“I enjoyed my trip so much more because I knew Melissa was taking excellent care of my kitties. She sent me lots of pictures and updates to reassure me. She did everything I asked of her and more. I will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I've never owned a dog, however I've grown up around them with friends and family members owning multiple dogs at one time. My aunt always had three or more dogs at one time which I helped to care for, ranging from giving medications to feeding to playing in the yard. I worked at a pet store for over 5 years where we were trained in nutrition as well as some behavioral signs. During my time at the pet store, I met someone who was looking for a sitter for their 10 month old alaskan malamute. I was offered the opportunity to watch her multiple times over the course of a year and a half which I took her on many hikes, beach trips, car rides, barn adventures, and spoiled her with toys and love. My boyfriend has a lab/dane/pointer who I take out for "mother-son" dates where we go for an outdoor adventure than reward with a pup cup. I've been working as an Animal Care Technician at a veterinary clinic for almost 2 years now where I care for patients before, during, and after their procedures ensuring they receive the best care and love during their stay at the clinic. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic in Dover NH. I have a four day work week consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at three 11 hour days and one 8 hour usually. I own a horse who I care for everyday after work most of the time or in the mornings on the days I have off (weekends and Wednesday). I always keep an eye on the pet whenever I am present by observing them and learning what is normal and abnormal for them. I watch the pets with no one else present so that I don’t have a human distraction which would hinder my ability to give the pet the best, safe experience. I limit the usage of my phone for social media or other distractions so I am present for the pets in the event of an emergency or any other incidences that may occur.
“Teresa took care of my cat for just under a week, in my home. He is an orange tabby; need i say more? Moo bestowed his highest honor on Teresa, by sleeping ON her most nights; graciously, Teresa obliged him! Communication was good. I received daily updates and pictures and she did not hesitate to reach out when she had questions (the cat was temporarily on meds), My home was in great shape when i returned.”


“Katherine was great - she stayed overnight at our house and she took great care of our animals and house. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of all the animals. She was very flexible when we were returning home and her communication was overall excellent. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals!”

About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.
“This was our first time having Savanna watch Yoshi since since we are new to the area and it was too far of a commute for Yoshi’s previous sitter. I’ve used Rover for years and have found some hidden gems, and Savanna is one of them. Savanna was very communicative and kept us updated with photos of their evening. Yoshi isn’t a difficult pup to watch, he’s quite lazy, but he is particular about who hangs out in his house, and there were no complaints! He loved having her here and so did we. It is such a relief to find someone you trust with your pup. Highly recommend booking with Savanna. We definitely will be using her services as Yoshi’s permanent sitter! ?❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cape Neddick
The entire experience with Kristen went wonderful from beginning to end! She is a top-notch professional and the most loving and caring sitter for my dogs, Daisy and Banjo, who really bonded with her! She sent loads of updates, photos, and gave them lost of love and kisses. My dogs and home were taken care of in the best way and I am ever so grateful to her for being there for me and the pups!

Carys did a fantastic job sitting our cat for 10 days! She has an intuitive way of communicating with animals that came across during our first meeting and reassured us that he was in safe hands. She also left our house spotless and clean which was a lovely touch after a long journey home. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cape Neddick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cape Neddick on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 537 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cape Neddick. 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 Cape Neddick 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 Cape Neddick 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 Cape Neddick 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cape Neddick. On Rover:

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.
