“Becca did an amazing job taking care of our 2 kitties! She sent thorough updates and pictures so we knew how things were going. She was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. One of our cats is on medication, and she was able to administer her pill and provide detailed updates so we didn’t have to worry about our cat’s chronic health issues. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, even taking out the trash for us when it got full. She was very detail oriented and we knew the cats were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mariah was great with Emma! Emma is shy and somewhat anxious. Mariah took the time and patience to let Emma get comfortable with her. She has 2 dogs of her own so we felt very comfortable leaving Emma in her care. We received updates and photos after every visit. We will definitely use Mariah's services again.”
About: Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the household (boxers, a lab/pitbull mix, aussies, and even a chihuahua). Going to school in Boston, my roommates and I dog walked one dog daily and dog sat for a total of 4 others. Moving up to the seacoast area, I have begun volunteering (walking, fostering, and assisting with events) for a local shelter in my free time. This has included puppies as young as 2 months to larger mature dogs for anywhere from a sleepover to as long as 2 weeks. I work full time Monday through Friday but have some flexibility with my hours. Outside of work I stay very active but I am eager to work some dog time into my schedule. I cannot have dogs at my residence due to rental requirements but am happy to take dogs on walks/adventures and dog sit wether that be for a few hours or days at the dog’s/client’s home.
“I rebooked Danelle for a dog drop-in and cat med and she ended up doing an extra med for the cat who developed an infection leading up to the visit. Always clear communication and reliable. Thanks again!”
About: Life-long pet lover with several years of dog walking experience. Also volunteered at the animal shelter, attended a dog training course, and took the vocational Health Occupations course in High School which included job shadowing at a vet's office. Scheduling should be pretty flexible. We are located in Wells & work part time locally. Please inform us what your needs are and we will try to accommodate! We live in an apartment so we will care for your dogs inside as well as giving them walks & allowing them in the yard on long leashes. Our two dogs will be overjoyed to have playmates, but if yours are shy or nervous we can keep them separated. Trips to the beach, dog park, or walking trails are also doable!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, from Siamese cats to Great Danes! Huge lover of the outdoors and animals of all kinds, especially my sweet 13 year old kitty, Cranberry Bog! :) I work in the education field, so I am avaliable after 2:30 every week day, with most weekends open to take care of your special furry friends! I am a huge believer in creating a safe space for all animals and ensuring their comfort while in my care! I will always communicate with pet parents about all steps of the care process & updates! :)
About: I have experience caring for dogs through both short-term walks and long-term stays. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise routines, administering lots of attention and playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like my own and always aim to provide dependable, loving care. As a teacher, my schedule is a bit busier until the school year comes to an end, but I always communicate clearly and make sure pets receive dependable, loving care. My schedule will open up this summer. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animal, and I promise to provide attentive, responsible, and loving care at all times. Whether on walks or during overnight stays, I will make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and treated like family.
About: First of all, I have no reviews yet because I am new!! I am retired and have had dogs all my life. Always one to help out a friend with their dogs as well. I have the time and the love to help others out. We put our last dog down a year ago and I really miss having a dog. I would love to help you with yours :) I am retired and have lots of love, time and flexibility. I am available days, nights and weekend. You can reach out to me anytime. I would love to care for your dog in their own home. I feel that is where they are most comfortable. I am happy to stay overnight.
About: Pet care isn’t just a job for me, it’s my whole life. I’ve always had furry friends around me growing up, and feel a special bond with any animal I come by. From puppyhood to senior snuggles, I’ve seen all stages, and adore every second of it! I am currently a second year in college at UNE, but I have a very flexible schedule and will do my absolute best at providing quality care and service for your fuzzy friend! I provide pets with the upmost care. I have 2 dogs at home, along with 4 cats, and my own ESA, so I understand the dynamics between all animals and provide them with the safest environment possible!
About: Friends, family, coworkers and mutual friends have trusted me to care for their fur-babies for many years. I have experience with all types of dogs and all types of situations. Whether it be a feed and a quick potty break, walks, or a week long stay, I have consistently provided a safe environment for these dogs. I’m a middle school teacher with a lot of free time in the summer and open afternoons during the school year! I am hoping to fill my time helping your family! I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes in the home. Although, I avoid these messes by being consistent with walks/letting dogs out to use the bathroom on a regular basis. I love creating a safe, but stimulating environment for dogs to spend their energy. As the weather warms up, I love being outside and/or going on walks to get both me and the dog(s) out of the house!
“Thank you Aria for taking such good care of George and Gracie - as much as you could. You put my mind at ease with your postings and your daily pics of George in the same chair. But they were eating well and pooping a lot. That’s the best a mom could hope for. Till next time”
“I really appreciate you taking the time to do a meet and greet ahead of time and then all the photos while I was away. It was good peace of mind to know you were there taking care of them. Thanks, Nishat for looking after my fur babies :).”
About: I have had a deep love for animals since I was a young child. Growing up I have always had at least one pet in my house, but when I was 7 I started actively taking care of them, which only increased my adoration for them. Whenever I am with animals I treat them with the philosophy that they give us nothing but love, and it is up to us to make sure they get that unconditional love back. I have watched dogs who were sick and required attentive and medicinal care, and I also have watched a dog and her newborn puppies. I am looking forward to expanding the dogs I know and hope I can show your animals the love they deserve in your absence! I'm very flexible with scheduling! When it comes to planning, I am willing to do both sporadic watching and walking or set weekly schedules. I am here to work for the schedule and needs of you and your pets! I know that each pet has specific needs and particulars, so I am willing to do what works best for them. Their comfortability comes first!
“Tess was wonderful with my very elderly cat. She was able to give her liquid medication orally via a syringe, which can be a struggle even for me! Came home to find a very happy and well fed kitty! Would highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet and house sitting for 15 +years. I have worked with all different types of breeds of dogs, as well as the those with medical needs, and special diets. I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 3 years - 8 years. The smallest being a silly frenchie and the largest is a malinois. I am currently working from home part time and I am available after 10am everyday to come walk the dogos or whatever you might need. We have a tiny fenced in farm at our house to keep all of our dogs and other animals safe. But if staying at a clients home all safety protocol would be followed to their standards.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,151 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kennebunkport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kennebunkport. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
