About: Hi!! What sets me apart from others is how dedicated I am to everything! I have strong drive, I love caring for people and furry freinds! I have 4 dogs of my own and have been trusted by many to take care of their amazing furry family members! I work a part time job currently and am looking for some extra cash, but by doing something I love, and that is dogs! I also LOVE walking I’m a young athletic person, who can also chill when needed! My wonderful fur babys are all trained! They stay within the yard and listen to recall! So if you’re also looking for someone dedicated to a little bit of training I can do basic training! But I also can provide simple care for your doggo, standard walking, feeding, snuggles or no snuggles! I’m open to many kinds of care!

“Annakate took excellent care of our pets while she stayed in our home. I appreciated that she didn’t mind looking after the cat and chickens as well! I loved the photo updates and that I was able to easily contact her while we were abroad. She seemed to love my very active dogs, and I would definitely book with her again!”

“We have always had family or close friends take care of our three precious Shih Tzus (Cocoa 17, Winnie 8 and Tobi 2) so finding a professional dog sitter was a little scary at first. I made contact with Liz (through Rover) and we set up a meet and greet at our home so we could all get to know eachother and decide if the arrangement would be a good fit. Liz introduced herself, told us about her background and experience taking care of different breeds of dogs/animals. I was very impressed with her knowledge and how genuinely sweet she was to our little babies. She ended up spending a couple hours at our house which was nice, mostly getting to know each of our dogs and their very unique personalities lol. We also spent time going over everything from likes, dislikes, playtime, bedtime routines and most importantly mealtime/feeding routines. Liz was there at dinner time so we were able to over the measurements and all of the different types of food we use (it can be confusing at times). We gave her a tour of the house, outside yards and she asked all the right questions that I didnt even think about asking (being new to this and all). I felt very at ease after she left and confident we made the right decision hiring her. While away, Liz sent us updates, pictures and communicated any questions she had. All three of our dogs were so happy, well fed, exercised and most importantly LOVED while Mom and Dad were away. On the day Liz left she made sure the dog's morning routines were all completed, she gave them some extra love, left the house spotless and even started the dishwasher. We highly recommend Liz and hopefully she will have availability the next time we are in need!!!! Thank you🥰”

“What an outstanding experience with Michele! She was so patient and loving with our boy. We received several updates and pictures during her time with Bob; not sure if we could ask for anything better. Would highly recommend!”

“10 Stars - Not just 5. We travel more than most and the love and the care of our animals is at an extreme level. Heidi not only put our concerns to rest, she clearly loves animals and it shows. She had out big guy out for rides, adventure walks and had our shyest cat out looking for love within a day. She always had a fall-back plan if she saw a possible late return to our house. Cannot say enough - Thank you Heidi”

About: I have cared for all types of dogs big and small, and have lived, trained, and babysat dogs since i was little! I love animals, and currently have a flexible schedule to be able to care for yours. I treat them as if they are my own, and will love them with every ounce i have! I will show up in any weather, and have no problems giving medication. I have no fears of any size dog, and am usually the one found with the dog rather than people at any gathering ha! I am super careful, super thorough, and very reliable. I currently do work, but with my schedule I have a lot of time available during the day and afternoons, some nights. I am lucky in that my schedule is flexible, and can do daily visits, walks, short/long term, and potentially overnights. I am able to do overnights with your dog at my house, or happy to come to you as well. I have a big fenced in yard, and live across the street from a giant beautiful park with trails and fields to play in. I have friends who live on my street who, if ever needed, are beyond trust worthy if your pup ever needs anything. My boss also lives next door! I also live right near two other parks, and beaches. I am in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks as well. I grew up with dogs my whole life, so my parents are also near by. Im also close to two animal hospitals
“Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.”

“Yas was great! Communicative and responsive, and understanding when there was some miscommunication on our part. Thanks for helping us out when we were in a tight spot after our original dog sitter bailed!”

About: I am a small business owner with previous experience working as a veterinary technician in emergency veterinary medicine. I have owned animals my entire life and have two cats of my own (both of which were rescues). I am compassionate, patient, and friendly. I adore meeting and taking care of your babies! I own a small craft business on the side so I may be unavailable some weekends but am flexible with availability! Pet care is passion of mine! I will take the time to introduce myself to your fur baby and make sure they are comfortable with me! We will make sure we go on walks or have plenty of time to play! I will love your babies like they are my own! They aren’t just pets, they are family.
About: I love animals and getting to meet new four legged friends. I have lots of experience dog sitting and walking friends' dogs over the years. I have been a dog mom to two rescue dogs and worked diligently on their training. Rupert is my fur baby at the moment and he's a very well socialized adventure partner. Dog training is an interest of mine and I'd be happy to work with your dog on any skills or behaviors while they stay with us. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the years, making sure all the animals get attention and walks. I'm currently a stay at home Mom to a toddler which allowd me to be attentive to your pets' needs throughout the day. Your dog will have human and dog company throughout the day. I enjoy going on hikes and walks so I can make sure your dog gets enough exercise everyday. I currently have a friendly 6 y/o mutt who loves having another dog to play with too.
“Gabrielle was an amazing sitter for our dog and 2 cats. She stayed in our home for a week while we were away. Tons of pictures and updates, and our pets were loved and well cared for.”

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for 7 nights and took exceptional care of our dogs. She sent thoughtful daily updates and photos, responded quickly to messages, and clearly spent a lot of quality time walking, playing, and giving them attention. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. Ashley was reliable, attentive, and treated our dogs and home with great care. We would not hesitate to book Ashley again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was little. I have had experience with small/big dogs, puppies, cats and hamsters. My puppy experience has involved some kind of training and taking them for walks. I have always cared for animals as they have always been apart of my life. I am currently a Junior at Saint Joseph's College of Maine. I am also a participant on the Women's Basketball Team. I am pretty available throughout the week besides having classes and on the weekends I am available all day. In my home, I have a fenced-in backyard. We also have a camera set up in the house to watch our puppy if none of us are home while she is gated in our mudroom. I have a leash line set up in the backyard and when I take her for walks where she is also on a leash.

“This was the first time I used Katie to care for Ginger but it won’t be the last! Katie did a wonderful job taking really good care of Ginger for an overnight at my house and the day before and after. She attended to Ginger’s every need and sent me updates and pictures, too! She even left my house better than before. Don’t look any further—call Katie! But not when I need her! 😉”

About: I've had dogs all of my life. All of my dogs I rescued, Rosco from North Carolina, Athena from Puerto Rico, Otis a Maine resident (my other half best friend) ,Piglet from Georgia and Thia from Saint Thomas. I've always had a love and special way with dogs. It's all about time and patience they are 4 legged kids. Ive introduced a senior dog who was not fond of other dogs to his new sister and they lived happily in the house together. I've had alot of experience with senior dogs dealing with hip issues and mobility. I am also a pitbull mom so I know all about their attitude. I have went through obedient school and have learned alot and plain on continue training not just for my self but for the dogs we have to be trained just as much as they do. I'm currently working 7 to 3 M-F but have time at night and on weekends in my daily schedule that I would love to fill and what better way then spending with animals. I treat my pets as if they are kids because they are my kids! I'm a dog mom. My dogs have a fenced in back yard they always run around in.
“Katherine M. was great. We have an older house on some land with multiple complexities, and she handled them very well. She was very responsive and cared for our three pets as we would. I would have her house and pet sit again for sure.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Freedom is $65

We were so blessed to have found Heidi. She was available on short notice to watch our boy. She was so wonderful with Gunner. He warmed up to her almost immediately. We had peace of mind leaving him over night with her knowing that he would be well taken care of. She shared pictures with us while she was with Gunner and was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again for our next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 199 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Freedom. 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 Freedom 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 Freedom 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Freedom 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 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.

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.
