“Kayla is amazing! She did such a great job taking care of my stubborn dog and was very respectful of my home while staying there! She sent lots of pictures and updates and did great with his heath issues! I would recommend Kayla for anyone looking for a trusting companion for their pets. I hope Kayla will be available for Bronx’s needs in the future because I would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“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 been caring for animals since I was a girl and have become the person friends, family, and others in my community trust with their pets. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as cats with a wide range of personalities and needs. Beyond cats and dogs, I’ve also cared for an array of animals including: horses, chickens, fish, ferrets, hamsters, and other small pets. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for senior animals or pets living with illness. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I’m attentive, dependable, and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’ll make sure you receive thoughtful updates while you’re away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine. If your pet has a specific schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to keep things consistent while you’re away. I’ll follow the routine and house rules you already have in place, including feeding instructions, medications, walks, crates, gates, and anything else your pet needs. I’m careful about doors, leashes, and introductions, and I’m always happy to ask questions if something isn’t clear. I’ll also keep you updated, respect your home, and leave things as clean as I found them.

About: I have had at least one dog at all times of my life, ranging from big to small and young to old. I’d say I have been the primary dog walker in my house since I was around 10 years old and have gradually added responsibilities over the years. I’ve been fortunate enough to help watch, walk, or check-in on friends and family pets for years now as well. I currently have two pups, both King Charles Cavaliers. I recently graduated with my Master’s and only working part-time this Summer while studying for my board exam. This allows for plenty of time throughout the week, or at potentially strange hours to do visits or walks. I am happy to offer check-in, walks, or even pet-sitting depending on how much notice I receive. I previously have had senior pets with varying needs and totally understand every situation is different. I’d be happy to follow any directions on specific caregiving for your pets and make them as comfortable and happy as I can.

“So glad I found Kari! She watched our 2 greyhounds for 2 nights in Oct. and did great. My dogs were very comfortable with her, walked well with her and were able to keep their regular routine with us out of town. They require meds which she administered without issue and send me regular updates and pictures. I also appreciate that Kari left the house as she found it. Everything was tidy, dishes loaded in the washer and she followed all of the care instructions to a T. Thank you Kari, can't wait to work with you again! I think the pups missed you this morning.”

East Bayside-India Street, Portland, ME, 04101

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.

About: I recently lost my 14 y/o Coonhound (Jazzy) She was the bestest girl in the world, and the best friend anyone could ask for. I am not ready for another dog just yet, but I would love to have another heartbeat in the house. My schedule is very flexible, in the event that I have to run some errands, I am happy to take your dog for a car ride with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard and in close proximity to trails for long walks that I often frequent. Also, I could not be happier to have your dog hang out on the couch with me while I read or work from home.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for families in Portland on and off for the past two years, along with caring for dogs in my own family. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and care. I’m attentive, loving, and gentle, with a strong ability to read dogs’ cues and recognize what they need to feel comfortable and happy. I understand that younger dogs may need plenty of activity and playtime, while older dogs often benefit from a calm, patient sitter who moves at their pace and provides a warm, reassuring presence. Every pet and family has their own routines, preferences, and expectations. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and caring for your dog the way you would, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home! I work remotely from 9–5 Monday through Friday, so I’m available every evening and on weekends for pet care. Since I work from home, I’m also happy to provide longer daytime stays or overnight care, as long as I’m able to work from your home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication for every pet in my care. Before a booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, exercise preferences, and any potential concerns. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets so I can respond quickly if anything seems unusual. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep doors, gates, and other escape routes secure, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to rest. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away!

About: I had the honor of having pets my whole life... dogs and cats. From a very young age my mother was always rescuing cats and dogs. They were an extension of our family. The seed was planted early and has only grown into a passion, training and caring for pets. I am currently available for providing in home pet care. I have a very flexible schedule. Available for staying over so your pet(s) can be comfortable in their own home and drop in visits/walks. I am a massage therapist and I don't work long hours so it allows for flexibility. At this time I don't have the space to host your pets. My roommates cats would not be to happy with that. I can travel to your home.

“Nina’s awesome. When we came back from our wedding we expected our Elkhounds to go wild when they saw us but they were pretty relaxed about it, so I know they felt safe and comfortable with her. She was professional and super self-sufficient. No constant questions or unnecessary check-ins; she sent us update pics of the dogs but otherwise just let us enjoy our wedding weekend. We’re very particular about who we let watch our dogs but highly recommend Nina!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Freeport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Freeport is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $78 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 603 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Freeport. 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 Freeport 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Freeport. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
