About: I’ve been dog-walking and pet sitting for several years now! I love spending time with dogs and am having to go for runs or the beach with them, or just relax at home! I’m a second year medical student, so happy to sit for pets in the evenings, as well as provide breaks during the day! I’m typically most open on the weekends but am open to weekdays as well. I will follow directions closely and respect your home like it is my home! I like to do frequent check-ins and am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of family and friends since I was in my teens, but more extensively in college and since. For 3 years I boarded and sat for three different family friends. I’ve personally helped raise 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve even helped herd sheep and tamed alpacas! I work nearly full-time as a server at a restaurant, so Wednesday to Saturday night I’m unavailable for somewhere between 6-9 hours on those days. When I have my off days I’m usually at home or out for a walk. I’m usually efficient with my errands and have extensive free time on off days. My apartment is a one bedroom, so if I’m not playing around the apartment with the pet, I’d want to bring them on a walk or to the park. I have a very comfortable bedroom conducive to nap time, and I live in the heart of Old Port. Whenever I am with pets in my house I am always looking to set up a cozy space for them to relax with blankets, pillows, their favorite toys. I try to make them feel like a proper guest in my home like anyone else. My apartment is always very quiet despite being downtown, but I would hope to find activities we could do in and around Portland to help keep them active and entertained.
“Knowing that Katie was coming over to tend to our dog put my mind at ease and made our vacation so much more enjoyable! She was very detail oriented and covered all the details before coming since it was our first visit. Will most definitely use her services again!”
“Nishat and I are newly meeting for my cat, Stella’s care. So far I’ve been extremely impressed by her foresight and thorough job. I have also very much appreciated all the pictures along the way (: thank you so much Nishat!”
“Hannah was super cool and chill. We have anxious cats who do not like when we travel—Hannah clearly did well because they were both super calm and friendly when we got back. She sent lots of pictures and overall did really great. 10/10 for cat rating.”
“Avital, you took such great care of our Betty! Thank you for your pictures, communication, and thoughtfulness. We are excited to have you back with Betty next weekend! Thank you!!!”
“She is my cats’ favorite sitter! She’s able to get them to take their meds and they love her still! She was also able to adapt and still take care of them after a personal issue while I was overseas, which really soothed my worries about them.”
“Jeremy and Marna are the best. We are so thankful to have them both available for Piper. They are great with communication and completely understanding when I need to change my schedule. I would highly recommend them to anyone.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and even horses and chickens since I was twelve. Reliable for pet sitting and walking. I work full time from home so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to drop in visits, walks, potty breaks, etc. I work full time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to do morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and am also able to offer to do overnights on weekends or weekdays. I will look after your pet like it was my own. I am very courteous and respectful of other peoples spaces and I will give your animals the care they need and modify that care according to your preference/specifications.
About: I have pet sat for neighbors, friends and family for six years where I was responsible for walking and feeding their animals. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have been walking dogs since I was 10. I am an Elementary School Teacher so I am looking for something part time or full time for the summer months. I am also looking to continue my services when the school year starts in September. I currently have two cats of my own who get along very well with other animals. My parents dog stays with me as well on some weekends. I have a large park near my apartment and my parents dog really enjoys running around there. I am an elementary school teacher, so I will be available mostly full time during the summer months and then I will transition into a part time schedule when school starts back up in the fall. I have two cats of my own, so your pet will have fur friends to play with when/ if they stay at my home. Right next to my home I have a large park that residents take their pets to. I would also love to take your pet to a nearby dog park, that way they can socialize in a safe space!
“Kasch has been a super attentive petsitter to our dog this week! We really appreciate the time and care they gave to Rosie, and the photo updates. At the end of the day, Rosie seems happier when it was a day that Kasch visited her!”
About: I have dog and cat sat for the past 7 years for multiple different families in the Yarmouth Maine area. I have been in different situations that have tested my abilities as a pet sitter. Dogs and cats immediately warm up to me. I currently work a full time job for a Doctor in the Yarmouth area. I can walk dogs after work most of the time. We sometimes don’t work at the office on Fridays so I would be able to walk dogs during the day. I can do overnight care, however I would only be able to feed / walk in the morning and evening before and after work. I am more flexible on weekends. Whenever I am caring for dogs I will keep them on a leash when I walk them. I make sure to follow the clients rules for their pet (feeding, care, and walking routine).
“We recently moved to the area and had to find a new dog sitter which is always stressful. As soon as I met Silvia and saw our dog instantly fall in love with her, I was totally at ease and relieved. We feel so lucky to have found Silvia! She took great care of our dog Beau and was very easy to communicate with. We felt totally comfortable having her at our house and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future when we need help with our dog!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Falmouth
Matthew did a great job with our dogs. He took them out on walks and took great pictures for us to see. He also gave them treats and was good to them. He had 3 dogs to deal with over the time and they all seemed happy with him. Great dog sitter who I would definitely use again!
Rachel went above and beyond when our Miss Nahla was quite unexpectedly less than welcoming to her, despite them meeting twice beforehand. Rachel was willing to work a different approach and was wonderfully successful. We are very grateful for her being a super and direct communicator and for giving it a go a second time.
Hannah did a great job with 2 drop-in visits for our 2 pups. She informed us that one of our pups got into some food that was left on the counter. She feed, walked and played with the younger pup as well. We very much appreciate her assistance with our pups when we were out with the family.

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.
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 Falmouth 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!
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 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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
