“Jacquelyn took great care of our Nova! She was so attentive with him and didn’t hesitate to accommodate his weird quirks. She was super communicative and helped us feel confident about leaving him in her care. The fact that she was able to help us out so last minute was a huge bonus. We will definitely be booking with Jacquelyn again :)”
“Jenna took great care of our dogs and home while we were gone for 5 days! She texted us an update every day and clearly gave our fur babies lots of love while we were gone.”
“Christi was a terrific house/pet sitter for us. She sent daily updates of activities and pictures of our cat, Lucy, and young golden retriever, Pepper. Pepper is a bit of a handful and Christi spent a lot of time with her on walks, car rides and clicker training. We really appreciated her efforts. The daily communications reassured us that our pets were in good hands. It was nice to see how Lucy snuggled right up to her. We were greeted by happy pets on our return and a tidy house. We highly recommend Christi for a pet sitter.”
“From the moment I met Rebecca, I knew she was the right person to watch my pup. Her warm spirit and dog loving heart was exactly what I was hoping to find a person to watch my service dog. She was attentive, sent pictures, and assured me the visit was going well at my house. I would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone needing a someone to love and care for their dog.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for over 8 years, both in my home and out of owners' homes. Neighbors, colleagues, friends and family have relied on me to give their dogs a safe and happy experience while they are away. I live next to many trails and enjoy taking dogs on walks and adventures, and cuddling with them in my cozy apartment. I can bathe and brush and give any medicine. I can also go to other people's homes and take care of their cats. I am available for boarding after 4:00pm on weekdays and all weekends and holidays. My summer schedule is part-time. My schedule is flexible to accommodate your dog’s needs. I live in a quiet apartment next to many trails and a river. I can crate your dog if needed and they are welcome on the furniture. I have a quiet cat who loves dogs.
“Amanda did an amazing job looking after my greyhound! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I was very anxious booking with someone on Rover for the first time but Amanda has put my mind at ease and taken such good care of my girl Freya. Definitely will be rebooking with her again and again!”
“Ann was wonderful with our 13.5 year old English setter. She took extra care making sure Buddy was safe and comfortable. She was very communicative about his health to make sure she was doing everything she could for him. We couldn’t have left him in better hands I highly recommend Ann!!!”
About: I have cared for both dogs and cats and I will care for yours like it is my own at all times so I hope you choose to hire me I am retired with plenty of free time for your animals and I would love to care for them like they are mine to care for I have a yard and a lovely home and I will always leash your dog when outside for safety and I like to kennel dogs when they sleep at night
“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have been working with dozens of pet parents to provide specialized care over their pets’ lifespans. Services include pet sitting, house sitting, feeds and medication, and dog walks. I work a very flexible job, so all I ask is that we coordinate care with 3 to 5 days notice. We will make it work! As someone with cats of their own, I offer services based in client’s homes only, for the safety and comfortability of my pets and your pets.
About: Along with always owning animals, I have provided pet sitting services for many family, friends, and coworkers over the years. Not only am I able to ensure pets are well cared for, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have also been employed as a field biologist and have experience handling and caring for wild animals. I am always excited to further develop my pet-caring skills! I recently returned from hiking the Appalachian Trail and am looking for some flexible and part-time work to ease my transition back into the work force. I currently have full availability and am eager to meet new pet owners and their furry friends! In addition to pet sitting services, I have also provided house sitting over the years and will treat you and your pets space with consideration and respect. I always try to act casually in a space to help animals feel more comfortable with my presence, while still respecting the boundaries and instructions of pet parents.
“Cleo appreciated all the love and attention and I appreciated how dedicated Beth was (making sure Cleo had her meds on time as well as lots of love while I was away). She was super flexible when my plans changed and went above and beyond to look out for Cleo.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hallowell
We booked Atlas last minute for a week long trip, leaving her with our three dogs and cat. She was very accommodating and got along with our dogs quickly! She kept us updated every day, providing pictures and videos and left our house just how we left it. Would book again!
Catherine house sat our brown lab for 14 days. Our dog has separation anxiety and Catherine made tremendous efforts to comfort our dog and make her feel at ease. It was obvious that Catherine loves animals and our dog connected with her at our first meeting. Catherine kept us informed and asked questions before activities like car rides and walks, both of which our dog loves. We never experienced any issues and look forward to having her house sit for us again in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hallowell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 190 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hallowell. 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 Hallowell 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 Hallowell 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 Hallowell 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.
