About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born and have helped care for them all my life as well as helping friends who also with their personal pets and rover pets as well. I usually wake up early and will be able to get them out in the morning before class then also later after classes as well. Service would be the same multiple walks a day along with playing in the house and sticking to the feeding schedule given by the owners.

About: I have a degree in animal science and behavior from UNH. I am also a certified dog groomer from the Whole Pet Academy. I am experienced with medical emergencies. I have experience with puppies and have whelped and cared for a litter of 8. I am CPR certified and have 5 dogs of my own. I am capable of walking and looking after many dogs because I do it everyday! I have worked for a dog day care/boarding facility as well as dog groomers. I have also been house sitting and dog walking for many different breeds and cats since I was 15. I will love,care and protect each pet as if they were my own. I currently work for myself from home and create my own schedule. I have plenty of time to walk and play and help your pet with any needs they may have! I also have well behaved and social dogs if they ever need a play date or someone to romp around with safely. I have a fenced in area for my dogs that can also be turned into two areas if your pet prefers privacy, I also have large dog crates available for space, I also have an inside pen that the dog can stay in if they are not used to being crated. The dog can sleep with me as well if that is what they are used to, I do have well behaved dogs that would love to play if thats what your pet would enjoy. I want your pet to have as comfortable an experience as possible while their loved one is away. Its what I would want for my pets and I would treat yours the same way. At your house I will follow whatever rules you have for your pet whether it be leashed walks or play in a fenced yard or area

About: I'm currently a Pre-Veterinary student at University of New Hampshire and currently work at a local veterinary clinic. As a veterinary assistant I have gained experience with animal handling and care. I am also Fear Free Certified and know had to adequately prevent fear, anxiety, and stress in both cats and dogs. I have previously worked at a training facility and am familiar with certain signals and behaviors that animals demonstrate to express themselves. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life and have been exposed to many types of breeds, species, and seen interesting cases regarding animal health. When I'm not at school I take care of my two dogs and cats at home. Furthermore, I work part-time at a veterinary clinic at school and at home so I am constantly surrounded by animals and have exposure to many cases. I previously owned a diabetic cat and learned how to administer insulin shots and monitor her glucose levels multiple times a day. I feed and water my animals in my home at least twice a day, snacks are often provided as well. I walk my dogs as much as necessary (typically twice a day). I always play with my cats and dogs. I have a kitten who loves playing fetch with toy mice and a 5 year old dog who enjoys hiking trips and swimming. The two dogs get groomed when needed but I brush them consistently in between grooms. Finally, I am responsible when it comes to my animals' health and notice any changes in behavior or appearance almost immediately. I find it important to keep them up to date with vaccines and any other medications they need.

About: Dogs have always been my favorite animal. I grew up with family dogs my whole life. My dog, Ellie, is an amazing 13 year old lab-mix that we have had since she was 8 weeks old. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I am a stay at home mom with a lot of flexibility in my schedule. We are an active family that spend a lot of time outside and always have Ellie with us. I treat pets as another member of the family and ensure they are well cared for. I would love to help with all of your furry friends needs! I am currently a stay at home mom with lots of flexibility in my schedule. I would have the ability to care for your dog multiple times in a day if needed. I am happy to provide any care that your dog needs. I am unable to take dogs in to my home at this time but happy to pick your dog up for walks and adventures or care for them in your house.

About: Had a deep soul connection with my cat Marbles for 15 years 🖤🐈‍⬛🌹 I enjoy showing animals comfort and care. Not afraid to get down on the ground and play either :) I’m an intuitive and allow animals their space and time to enjoy nature. I prefer not to rush them but can stay on schedule if need be. Please book a drop-in visit if you’d like an in-person meet and greet. I prefer not to be around cigarettes, vape, artificial scents and harsh chemicals (detergents, dryer sheets, perfumes, candles, air fresheners, harsh chemicals, etc.) These are not healthy for us or our beloved animals ✌️🐾♥️). *Important* my house is temporarily limited at the moment, so for daycare services, I’d prefer to entertain your dog (or cat on a leash) around town, hang out at the lodge or go for a long walk or hike rather than back to my place. If this is an issue, please message me before booking. When messaging please include a “💚” so I know you read this. Thank you! Additionally, please message me if you would like to discuss rates. Thank you 🥰♥️🤗 I’m pretty flexible at the moment; albeit a tad busy also. I do have one other dog that I walk morning and night but we can work around that. If it is an emergency I could probably work something out for home care but right now I’m primarily caring for animals around their own home and neighborhood.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriend’s dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow the owner’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

About: Hi, I’m Ally! Animals have always been at the heart of my life—my cat is my best friend, but I truly love and care for every creature I meet. I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, from cats and dogs to small animals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My passion for animals led me to pursue formal training in their care. I began taking animal care classes in high school, earned my Associate’s degree in Animal Sciences from Jackson State Community College, and went on to graduate from The University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology. I have hands-on experience from two years of volunteering at the Jackson Animal Care Center and have been working in veterinary clinics since 2022. I’m currently a certified veterinary technician at LoveWell Veterinary Services, where I work with a wide variety of animals every day. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and providing loving companionship to pets with all kinds of needs. At home, I share my life with a friendly cat and a yorkie who both enjoy meeting new animal friends. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to have more time for your pets! I am off every other Monday and only work half days on Tuesday and Thursday so even if it says I’m unavailable shoot me a message! As your pet sitter, I will care for your pets as if they were my own—providing them with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll follow their routine closely, make sure they’re fed and exercised on schedule, and keep them happy with playtime and affection.

“Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.”

Our scheduled pet sitter canceled and in desperation, I searched the internet and found Rover. I sent out my request and in minutes James responded. I was instantly relieved. He came over to visit us before leaving for vacation to meet us and our pets. James administered medication and took wonderful care of our 4 cats and dog. We are super grateful for all the help and services James provided us. We will definitely rebook again!!!

Haleigh was just absolutely wonderful! She was so communicative, punctual, thoughtful, and caring for our dog and even checked on our cats too. She gave updates and cared for every need, was so nice and friendly, took our pup for walks, outdoor play time, cuddles, washed food containers, and even brought our packages in from the rain. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!

Teresa was exactly on time and prepared to play. She is friendly, conscientious, and obviously loves animals. My dogs had a great workout with her in the yard and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her. I also really appreciate that she respects the boundaries of my anxious doggo and listened to the advice I gave about bonding with her. I now feel confident about hiring Teresa for dog sitting in my home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Kittery

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kittery is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. 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 1,103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kittery. 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.

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 Kittery 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Kittery with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
