“It was a pleasure to meet Raven, and she was extremely professional and resourceful when dealing with our dog, who has severe anxiety. She went above and beyond to try to make her feel comfortable while we were away. We appreciated her continued communication to let us know how our dog was doing. Thank you, Raven, for all that you did!”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was little but didn't start being able truly experience the responsibility of taking care of dogs until about 12. Caring for my dogs has served as a great example throughout my life of showing me patience, unconditional love, and loyalty. Over the years I have had 6 dogs with 3 being the ones that I was old enough to care for. All of them with their individual, outgoing personalities have been a joy in my life. A stand out experience I've had with my dogs, has to be currently with caring for my elderly and sickly dog, Yoshi. He is a 10-year-old Husky-Akita who has an autoimmune disease called Pemphigus Vulgaris which severely affects his skin. Out of my family of 4, I have been his primary caretaker; administering his medicine when he was on it, researching different remedies to help him, bathing him to soothe his irritated & itchy skin, making him a natural ointment to treat his wounds, and changing his diet off of dry dog food to a medley of Freshpet dog food and steamed vegetables. Although the process is trying, I see him as God's animal and I feel I've been given the responsibility to care and love him unconditionally as animals were made to do the same for us. I am a freelance graphic designer who works from home so I have open availability to provide animal care. Mostly available Sun-Fri, Limited availability on Saturdays I have a small yard but live in a housing development that is dog friendly with lots of sidewalks and trails that provide dog waste trashcans. Besides walking, I provide feeding, brushing, bathing, administering ointment or medication, and lots of love and attention.
“Farrin is an amazing petsitter! She stayed all day with our lab (who gets very anxious when we are away) and two kitties. We were able to enjoy our son's wedding without worrying how our pets were doing. This is our second time booking with Farrin; both times she has communicated well with us before the event as well as sending us updates (texts & pictures) during the actual house/petsitting.”
“April was great! Great communication, easy to work with, always on time, accommodating on schedule/making adjustments I needed for my trip and up front about her schedule and conflicts she had, which she helped me with. Dogs adored her and were at ease during the first meet and weren't stressed when I got home. Will book again and recommend!”
“Marrisa did a fantastic job for us! She was a professional in every step of the process and made sure everything was in order. We will definitely invite her to watch our dog and our home again!”
About: I have lived on a farm my whole life. At age 12 I started managing our family farm, which ment taking care of all of our animals, from the horses to the rabbits. There are two rules I keep for myself: 1) every animal has a purpose and a name. They are not just a number (which is important to remember on a farm) 2) They are fed and cared for before anything else. It doesn't matter what's going on they are my first thought when I wake up. I take care of them before I eat. I am currently a college student and working part time for the school. My times and avalibility will change when I resume school in September. Because I live on a farm, I am blessed that my cats can safely be indoor - outdoor cats. I do have a house cat, and I have two outdoor cats. For dogs, I am used to taking dogs on walks, and letting them into secure, fensed in yards.
About: Welcome! With 15+ years of experience and a genuine love for dogs, I provide a calm, safe, home-away-from-home experience for your pup. I work from home, so when your dog stays with me, they’re never left alone—they have companionship, supervision, and care 24/7. I also only accept one family’s pets at a time, so your dog receives my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. My fully fenced one-acre yard offers plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely, while inside they’re treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. My dogs are part of my life, not just my schedule — and the same goes for any pet I care for. I build my day around walks, enrichment activities, playtime, and quiet moments, making sure each dog gets the stimulation and comfort they need. Rover isn't just a side gig for me — it’s something I genuinely care about. I love being able to share my time and home with other pets, giving them the same level of love and attention I give to my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced one-acre yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, and two small, friendly dogs to provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I ensure 24/7 access to fresh drinking water, regular bathroom breaks, and a calm, cozy indoor environment where your dog can relax freely — crated only if you prefer. I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing. I had her come to my house and meet my Buddy right away, I knew she was the one!! My dog takes medication no problem giving it to him. She just has such a nice way about her and her love for animals. Definitely will be having her back to watch my Buddy on our next vacay. Highly Recommended”

I’m also experienced with administering medications, including insulin, and am committed to keeping every dog safe, happy, and comfortable. 🐶💕 I am currently working part time and am available most days. My shifts are normally about four hours long, so I am able to be around for most of the day. I am comfortable with taking care of any dog. I am able to administer any medication need and I am able to follow any care instructions provided.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lewiston
Nichol was absolutely incredible! Firstly, I booked her last minute (within 5 days of the service) and she was able to accommodate really quickly, which brought peace of mind. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Margot had someone thoughtful to play with/sleep with while we were gone for the weekend. We will definitely be booking Nichol in future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 700 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lewiston. 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 Lewiston 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 Lewiston 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 Lewiston 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.
