About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and right at home! I’ve had pets of my own and have experience fostering, so I understand how important patience, comfort, and individualized care are for every animal. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or snuggling on the couch, I love making sure each pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I’ll treat your furry family member with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a very flexible work from home schedule so I am available all day and weekends to check in on your babies! Would be more than happy to take them on a stroll or hang out with them in your yard. I love playing with pets and can safely walk, crate, and feed them. I like getting my own exercise in so going for a walk or light jog is a plus.
About: Hi there! I recently finished grad school and I'm using this transition time for doing things that I love— like spending time with dogs. I have two years of paid experience as a dog walker and in-home pet sitter, plus a lifetime of hands-on experience with my own family's medium and large breed dogs (GSD). I'm reliable, patient, and comfortable with dogs who have a lot of energy or need a confident, steady presence. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or some extra attention, I'd love to help. Flexible availability and happy to meet beforehand so you and your dog feel comfortable! Given I am between grad school and starting my career, I have a flexible schedule and considerable availability. I'm available weekdays and weekends, so I can offer consistent, reliable care whether it's a one-time walk or an ongoing arrangement. When I'm in a client's home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I'd want for my own space. I follow the owner's routine and instructions closely — feeding times, walk schedules, medication, and any specific habits or needs your pet has. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard, and always double-check locks when coming and going. For the pets themselves, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible: regular walks, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection so they don't feel anxious or lonely while their owners are away. I am happy to send an update with some pictures when I’m with your pet! Additionally, while on walks I typically avoid dog parks and other interactions with dogs unless this is requested by the owner.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own. I understand their personalities, routines, and individual needs, and provide patient, attentive, loving care to every dog I look after. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m accustomed to daily walks, feeding routines, companionship, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated while they’re in my care.
“Alexys was great, and took fantastic care of Lincoln. The updates were perfect, and she took care of every detail with no worries at all. She went above and beyond, and we will book her every time we are in town!!”
About: Caring for animals with compassion and understanding has always come natural to me! I have been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years and I have been a volunteer dog walker at the NHSPCA for 3 years. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. I have a senior dog, Eddie, and experience caring for senior dogs at the NHSPCA. I also have a reactive dog, Thor, and experience caring for reactive dogs at the NHSPCA. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them. As an owner of two dogs myself, I know the nerves of being away and having someone else care for them. I am here to ease those nerves and accommodate any and all requests you have for your pet! I am currently in between future plans for college and work part-time picking up shifts at a restaurant, so I will have plenty of time for your dogs! I am home Monday-Sunday and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also very flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When I am in your home, I would love to take your dogs for walks, to local parks, the beach, or anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
About: I have an 18-year-old dog and previously had another dog who passed away, so I understand the importance of giving them love, patience, and gentle care. I also have over 6 years of babysitting experience, which has taught me to be responsible, attentive, and dependable. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, maintain their routines, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send photo updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands!
About: Im up early as a teacher and home by 3. My dog Genie could use a play pal if considered or maybe solo is more your dog style. I have alot of pet care experience from many farm animals to exotic snakes. Personal Policies: *please contact me with dates and TIMES* for your pets needs.* *24 hour service includes 3 checkins* *transparency is a must-i.e is your dog questionable around kids? *willing to negotiate prices- do you have more than one animal that needs care?/ off site terms* *happy to send photos and check ins of your pets Im currently working as an art teacher so im generally home by 3. Im more of a homebody type that prefers adventures outside than in the city. I have a fenced in yard but in a residential neighborhood. I would consider this if your dog and my dog became friends outside first.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals — usually 3 or 4 dogs, several cats, 12 horses, 4 goats, and a flock of chickens at any given time! I’m completely comfortable around all types of animals and love caring for them. I’m a huge pet person with two wonderful dogs of my own — Dory, age 5, and her mom, Hattie, age 13! I work fully remote as a travel agent, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m trustworthy, responsible, and always follow instructions carefully to ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and healthy! :) I board my parents’ dogs every year between January and March and have been doing so for the past four years. I live in a two-story home with stairs and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and relax safely.
About: I have always had a love for animals especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, one is 8 years old and the other is less than a year old. I have been taking care of my friends and families pets since I was 10. I am a student a the George Washington University in Washington D.C. and have been walking dogs regularly! I am looking for walks in between my classes and on the weekends! I’m very flexible with timing and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what works best! At my home both my dogs are create trained so I have a lot of experience with that. I also have experience with administrating meditation.
“Yujie was amazing with my two dogs. He was incredibly helpful and always responded very quickly, even last minute. His communication was excellent, which gave me complete peace of mind. I could tell right away that he is kind, patient, and truly cares about the animals he takes care of. I will absolutely continue to use Yujie for my dogs and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate animal care.”
“Madison was amazing!! We had a pre visit to go over Cali’s routine. It was a great meet and greet!! During the visits I got pictures, videos, and updates. Cali was well taken care of. I highly recommend Madison. She was a sweetheart!!”
“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”

Jesse was absolutely amazing with our kitty, Sprout! 🐱💗 She gave her so much love and attention, played with her constantly, and made sure she was never bored or lonely. We also got SO many photos and regular updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much Jesse genuinely cared about Sprout, and we came home to a very happy kitty! We would absolutely have Jesse watch Sprout again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, caring pet sitter! 🥰
Sylvie provided great care for our cat Mucca, keeping her happy and entertained while we were away for a pretty long time. She was very quick to respond to schedule and also made sure to share a detailed review card for each visit. We were lucky to have Sylvie watch Mucca and will be reaching out to her for future care!
Sarah couldn’t have been more wonderful with our pup! She was so responsive, considerate, professional, and caring. She was right on time, took care of all of our dog’s needs, played and snuggled, sent great pictures and updates, and overall we just felt so happy and confident leaving our dog in her care!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kittery is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 1,137 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
