“Sophia was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter canceled. She was SO communicative the entire time my husband and I were out of town and sent multiple photos and updates everyday about how our dog was doing. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Michael is absolutely fantastic! We have two pups who are a little high-maintenance 😉, and he takes such wonderful care of them every single time. We always come home knowing they've been loved and well cared for, which gives us incredible peace of mind. He goes above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways. This time he watered our outdoor plants, and as always, stripped the bed before leaving, and washed the sheets—I found them clean in the dryer when we got home! It's those little touches that speak volumes about the kind of person he is. Michael is reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely cares. We appreciate him more than we can say and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you, Michael!”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and it certainly will not be the last. I was so lucky to find Karen, who lives in my town, responded quickly to my first email, and came over to meet my 3-year-old chocolate lab that same afternoon. Within a few minutes, my dog was basking in Karen’s attention and letting me know that she would be happy and comfortable spending time in Karen’s care. Karen made sure my energetic dog got plenty of exercise and sent pictures every day while I was gone. I came home to a happy dog and a peaceful house. My dog and I are both hoping to have a continuing relationship with Karen.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!
“Julianne was super responsive and sent a number of photos of our dog! She stayed in our home and we came back to it being cleaner than we left it! Julianne is super kind and we will definitely use her again!”
“Katherine was great - she stayed overnight at our house and she took great care of our animals and house. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of all the animals. She was very flexible when we were returning home and her communication was overall excellent. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals!”
“Kristen is an absolute professional great with the pups and an amazing communicator along with being flexible with unexpected schedule changes. Need I say more? Book her! :)”
“Martha was so incredibly patient and loving with our Dexter! He has some quirks and anxieties but Martha was so understanding and great at ensuring he was comfortable. We received daily updates throughout the weekend and it was so nice to have those check ins. This was the first time Dexter has stayed with anyone other than our family and overall it was a great experience!”
“Erin and Amanda did a wonderful job caring for our dogs and looking after our home. They were great with the dogs—attentive and loving—and they were very conscientious with the house. Everything was left clean and tidy, with the linens washed, the bed remade, the plants watered, the mail brought in, and the trash taken out. Most importantly, when our return flight was unexpectedly canceled, they made sure the dogs were covered until we got in late that night, even though they had another job to get to. Their reliability gave us great peace of mind. We would happily recommend Erin and Amanda to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring sitters.”
“Jim went above and beyond for us when we were in a pinch. Not only did he take great care of our dog but he also cleaned and did dishes for us that we had left in a hurry to head to a wedding. Jim was awesome and I would absolutely recommend him and utilize his services again in a heartbeat!”
“I hate to tell you how good Melody is cuz I want her always for my dog. 😊. Melody is very capable, but her calmness around my excitable pup is why I chose her. We were trying our first overnight away from this totally spoiled COVID pup. I am home most of the time with her and needed someone who would be here most of the time. Melody was willing to do that and my pup made it clear when I got home that she likes Melody as much as me! I highly recommend Melody and am already planning my next overnight away!”
“Alex was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog who has a lot of quirks and we were super nervous about it, but Alex kept us updated with photos, how he was everyday, and even took him to work with her! I would definitely recommend Alex , and would love to have her watch Teddy in the future:) Thank you!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Patrick! He took care of our dog like it was his own & sent many updates. I would highly recommend him to take care of your animals. Looking forward to using his services again!”
About: I love dogs and they seem to love me! I do not have my own dog currently but like to think of all those I watch as my own. I love to get them (and me) out for a walk especially on a beach or nearby trail. I also have a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and can match that energy level as well! If you need references I will be happy to provide them from Wallis, Teddie, Stella, Franklin, Buna, Wally, Tater, Judy, Kaya or Koda. I work from home so would not be away from your dog for more than an hour or two. If your dog likes the car, they can join me on errands/adventures. Or we can stay close to home for walks or snuggles. I care for dogs in their own home to keep them in familiar settings and routines. Important to know if they can be let outside in yard off leash or not, feeding times, what time is typical for wake up.
“Claire took such good care of my two cats! I appreciated the pictures and videos she sent me, and she was a fantastic job of communicating with me. She also look care of my plants, and she left my home tidier than when she arrived. I will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her’”
“Melissa was wonderful with our nervous rescue pup. She took the time to get to know her at a pace that made our dog feel comfortable and safe. Melissa followed all of our instructions perfectly and left our home looking immaculate. When our flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Melissa went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for until we made it back. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was there. I think our dog has found a new best friend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kittery Point
Michael helped us with our dog Penny on our wedding night in Portsmouth! His communication and attention to detail were 100%. We got plenty of photos and updates for the 7 hours he was in her care! We were able to have a great care free night with Michaels help.
Erin and Amanda were fantastic! I booked them for boarding and they took great care of my pets and home. They were very flexible, responsive, caring and insightful. They got to know the particulars for my dog quickly despite it being their first time with him. Very thankful for their care.
Teresa took care of my cat for just under a week, in my home. He is an orange tabby; need i say more? Moo bestowed his highest honor on Teresa, by sleeping ON her most nights; graciously, Teresa obliged him! Communication was good. I received daily updates and pictures and she did not hesitate to reach out when she had questions (the cat was temporarily on meds), My home was in great shape when i returned.
Jim went above and beyond for us when we were in a pinch. Not only did he take great care of our dog but he also cleaned and did dishes for us that we had left in a hurry to head to a wedding. Jim was awesome and I would absolutely recommend him and utilize his services again in a heartbeat!
Will is the best! We use him often for drop in visits and he did an overnight stay at our place for the first time (our first time having anyone dog sit in our home) and I know the pups were happy! He gives updates and asks questions as needed. Left our place spotless. We will book him again soon!
Martha was fantastic with our four legged family members. We came home to a happy cat and dog and our home well taken care of. She communicated daily, sent pictures and even brought a toy for our pup. On time and flexible when we needed to change the start time.
Renee was amazing with our two dogs! She kept in touch the whole time and really understood what they needed. She even took them on some extra walks, which they loved! We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and reliable sitter.
Amanda took excellent care of my puppy. My pup is 4 months old - aka a busy little dog who needs to be watched. Amanda gave her heaps of attention and knew all the puppy tricks to encourage good behavior. I highly recommend her to take care of your dog. She also took great care of my house.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kittery Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kittery Point on Rover is $105.45 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 681 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kittery Point. 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 Kittery Point 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 Kittery Point 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 Kittery Point 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kittery Point. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
