“Had a great experience leaving Beau with Alicia and her family. They took great care of him, sent pictures/updates regularly, and asked questions about how to best care for him. They spent a lot of time outside with him, which I know he loved :)”
“Cindy is a great sitter and boarder. She's super responsive in communicating and has a great environment to care for dogs. Kolbe had a great time boarding and Cindy sent us some great photo shots of him enjoying the other "doggos" in her care. Looking forward to having Kolbe there on our next overnight trip to Southern Maine!”
“First off, I do not generally add reviews but with Rebecca. I felt it was due. In all my years I’ve been fortunate enough I’ve never had to board a family member, but now circumstances have changed. Not only did I need to find someone I was comfortable with, but more important the board was a 8 week old rescue. Rebecca from the beginning was totally understanding to my concerns. When Bella was picked up, Rebecca took all the time to go over her routine making me comfortable that she was going to care for her as if she was her own. While I was away I received multiple pictures and texts daily on how she was doing. Rebecca went above and beyond and for that Im very thankful. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future”
“I can't recommend Elisabeth highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Ollie, and it was clear from the start how much love and attention she gave him. Every day, she sent multiple high-quality photos and detailed updates that showed just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She went above and beyond by dressing the dogs in warm outfits and taking them on engaging walks, keeping Ollie active and entertained. Not only did she keep him well-exercised, but she also worked on teaching him commands! It is obvious how much she cares about providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for watching Ollie!”
“Audrey is amazing! Our little ShihTzu loves to stay with her when we visit Maine each year. He gets lots of exercise and has many outdoor adventures! I only wish that Audrey lived in MD so that we could book with her more often!”
“Stout enjoyed his visit with Simon. He was flexible about us changing our plans too. He was able to add extra dates which helped us enormously. Thank you!!”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.”
“Awesome family! After a weekend at Austin and Frank’s house my chocolate lab came home and crashed on the kitchen floor exhausted. That’s pretty tough to do! He was very well cared for (maybe better than at home!) and I didn’t have a worry about him while we were away.”
“Lauren was amazing with my two pups! They got all of their needs met and were very well taken care of, lots of cuddles and good sniffs. I received lots of updates and tons of pictures which is always appreciated. Will use Lauren for my pups again in the future :)”
“Hannah was INCREDIBLE. So glad we found her to watch our special Floki. I am extremely picky about who I choose to have watch my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with Hannah. She sent so many updates and beautiful pictures/videos of our boy. I could tell he had such a blast with her and her dogs. They went on many trail walks, and she even sent me videos of him opening his Christmas gifts we wrapped for him. We will definitely be contacting Hannah next time we go on a trip without Floki.”
“Kathleen took great care of my big guy! It’s always tough with a nervous dog, especially one that’s 100lbs. She managed to keep him calm and safe during his stay and we are so grateful!”
“Grace was fantastic! She watched our boy for our wedding weekend and sent us pictures through the weekend and even brought him to us at our venue to get pictures with us. She made sure she had all of the info she needed and had us meet the other pups our dog would be with for the weekend before hand to make sure everyone was comfortable and the dogs would get along. Our dog is our world and we are particular about who we leave him with and we will definitely be having Grace watch him in the future!”
“Janet was fabulous with Willow! I really think WIllow felt like she was at her home away from home. Janet took Willow out for a nice long walk each day which is Willow's favorite way to spend some time. I will definitely be using Janet the next time I need a sitter for Willow.”
“Jenna was very great! I came from out of town and we even had a change of schedule and she adjusted for us. She was very responsive and sent pictures. She was on time and communicated well!”

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Hiram can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hiram home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hiram.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hiram. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Hiram sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ME ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
