“Chelsea took such great care of my boys. She sent tons of pics great pics to keep me updated and I could tell they were in great hands and had so much fun. She left the house in great condition and just as good as we left it. Will definitely rebook with her again in the future.”
“Brooke is responsive and nice! She did a great job taking care of our girl, Sadie Mae. my only feedback to her would be to send more updates with pictures too! 5 star service besides that, thanks Brooke.”
“Rissa was great with our pup Charlie. He is normally shy but warmed up quickly to her! She has excellent communication skills and so the updates were spot on. It really made us comfortable while we were away knowing Charlie was being well cared for by Rissa with snuggles, nice walks, and playtime. 😊 We would definitely have her again and recommend her care.”
“I can't say enough good things about Valari! She was wonderful at keeping me posted with detailed updates and did a fantastic job sticking to my two pups' strict daily routine. She is genuinely the sweetest person and put their well-being above everything else. We are so happy with her and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young till now with my two dogs, and two cats. I love to hike and walk with my dogs. They also love playing ball or chasing toys around in home. Cats are older now so they just want love and pets. I work full-time but that doesn’t stop me from having time to make sure our animals get play and care when I get home. I’m available weekends or after 5 pm for any care for your animal :) I have two dogs that are dog friendly and a crate if needed. I have a park right across the street to have long walks or play in grass or they even have a dog park.
“Kristine was so great with my Charlie who was suffering from extreme separation anxiety and wouldn’t eat or walk outside. She actually figured out a way to get Charlie to eat and drink something by putting her bowls in my master bath next to my closet where Charlie seemed to want to be often. I so appreciate that she knew how to just let Charlie chill and kept her calm and comfortable during her stay.”
About: I have been a pet sitter for years who specializes in dog care and training. I have a zoology degree from NCSU and 1.5 yrs experience as a kennel technician. During the school year I am a teacher so I am looking for income over the summer working remotely. Looking to supplement another part-time job. Currently I live in a townhouse with my dog 6 year old dog Mickey and 1 year old cat Guinness. Mickey is a 6yr old lab Dalmatian mix who is well trained and loves to play with other pups. I typically love setting up dog play dates and walks. Guinness is a spunky 1 year old black cat. Social, but does his own thing.
“Alyssa was a huge source of comfort while I was out of the country and leaving my two dogs behind for the first time for 10 days. They loved her from the minute they saw her. I hope to use Alyssa again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
“We used Rover for the first time this weekend and we chose Cassidy and she was fantastic, and took great care of our cat and 2 toy poodles. She stayed in our guest room and even stripped the bed and folded the quilt and sheets after using them. We will definitely will use Cassidy again!”
“Anthony did a fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and our home. We found him to be very trustworthy, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. He showed a lot of patience and compassion with our high-energy puppy, which is no small task. He kept us updated daily with messages about their activities and how they were doing, which we really appreciated. We also came home to a clean, well-kept house. It was clear he treated our home and pets with care and respect. We would absolutely trust Anthony to watch our pets and home again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”
About: I am a dog lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Although I am new to Rover, I previously rescued and cared for a Labrador–Pitbull mix for four years, which gave me valuable experience with active dogs, daily exercise routines, and providing patient, loving care. Although I do not currently have a dog at home, I regularly help pet sit and care for my friends’ dogs and enjoy building trust with animals of different personalities and energy levels. I am comfortable providing walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you are away. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in the pet owner's home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. You can expect reliable communication, punctual visits, and lots of care and affection for your pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. Also, I am happy to send photo updates during every visit so you can feel reassured that your pet is safe and happy. I am available for pet care from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM on weekdays (Monday–Friday) for dog walking or drop-in visits. I have full availability on weekends (Saturday and Sunday), which allows me to provide longer visits, pet sitting, walks, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives reliable, attentive, and loving care during each visit. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and outdoor breaks. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so pets feel calm while their owners are away. I also send regular updates and photos to keep owners reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of lots of pets and have had a bunch of pets my self. I have an orange cat who loves to play and I have a bearded dragon as well. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs at once that were all high energy but so loving. I’ve had experience with bigger dogs like great Danes and German shepherds. I’m in college and have classes at 11:00-11:50 and on some days I have a class at 3:00. And I work 4-10 on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Sundays. But I can work around that to help you with your animals How I care for my cat beachy is I feed him in the morning before school and when I get home I play with him and gets his energy out. Then after awhile I will get my bearded dragon out and let him explore I also clean his cage and feed him. For my clients I can follow there schedule they have in place for there pets and I will treat them like my own.
About: I have been raised around all kinds of animals my entire life. Especially growing up with a mother who is a Vet Tech, I have seen the many different ways to care for an animal. Whether they’re young and energetic, shy and anxious, or an older pet who needs extra patience, I will adapt to each one of their needs. Since I am primarily an elementary school teacher, I highly value communication. If you book with me, please expect to get regular updates and pictures of your fur babies while you’re away. I will make sure to treat each one of your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so my summers are always very open. With that being said, throughout the week I am very open and on the weekends I will still be available but just not as much. I will always ensure an easy and calming first introduction to your pets so we can start off on a good foot. And in reality, that doesn’t always happen, so I will always remain patient with those who need it because eventually they will warm up to me.
“Maylan took amazing care of our babies while we were out of town. She took time to get to know them at a meet and greet before booking, she asked questions, she showed interest in making sure they were well taken care of. She sent photos daily with check ins during the day. She is so kind and thoughtful. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, and I will definitely work with her again. Our pets loved her!”
“Ashlyn was great! She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs while we were gone. She kept me updated on how they were doing and I could tell that she genuinely enjoys being around animals. She will be our go to person for all our future needs! Thanks Ashlyn!!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent updates with adorable photos. She was on time and very flexible with our pets needs/behaviors. We will definitely be reaching out to her for services requests again.”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She took excellent care of our dogs and cat, kept us updated while we were away, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. She went above and beyond, and we would absolutely trust her with our home and pets again. Highly recommend!
When we were away one of our dog’s took a turn and had to be put down while we were away, unexpectedly. He was so sick we couldn’t get back to be there in person. Carol was wonderful, putting us on FaceTime and staying with our Tucker. She was then so caring of our other dog until we could get home the next day. We highly recommended her!
Could not have asked for anything more. So attentive and communicative. Above and beyond in every possible way. Thanks for all the pictures and updates. Thanks for the daily walks. Thanks for the love you gave to Toby and Freya. Left my house clean and tidy. Highly recommend!!!
Bryce was amazing! He was so nice and respectful when he came by to meet us and the dogs before we left, and he paid attention to every little detail we shared. He stayed overnight and sent updates and pictures from every walk, which was great. You can tell he truly cared for our pups and took great care of our home, everything was spotless when we got back. Highly recommend!!
Hanna stayed with our pets for three days over Labor Day weekend, and she was wonderful. From the start, her communication was clear and timely—she sent updates and photos every day, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She followed all instructions carefully and kept the house tidy. Our pets warmed up to her quickly and were relaxed and happy when we got home. Holiday weekends can be tricky, but Hanna was reliable, punctual, and flexible. We’re grateful for her care and would happily have her sit for us again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kennebec
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kennebec on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 2,657 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kennebec. 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 Kennebec 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 Kennebec 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 Kennebec 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works 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.
