“Bri is now a repeat dog sitter for us! She stayed with our big beast of a shepherd for a long weekend. She took him for a hike and gave him lots of love while we were away, including giving him additional meds at feeding times. She’s awesome and completely trustworthy with our home and dog. We highly recommend her!”
“Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.”
“Meghan was wonderful with Mookie, I felt very comfortable with her staying at the house. She always kept me updated with photos and texts everyday. She was very responsible and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank You”
“Liz did an amazing job with Gizmo. She entertained her and got her out for fresh air several times during her watch. I would have Liz watch Gizmo again if I’m ever in the area.”
“We had used Faith once before for an overnight. This time we were lucky enough to get her for an entire week while we were on vacation. We were over the moon knowing we didn’t have to worry about our babies. Faith always goes above and beyond sending pictures and videos and updates, giving our 3 rascals all the love, playing with them, and general daily care. She is worth her weight in gold! :)”
“Ashley was great with Gus and Chloe, she was very communicative throughout the week and was flexible on a time adjust. I even heard from our neighbor she was very attentive to Gus and did a lot of outdoor playing. Would request Ashley again when needed.”
“Michele is by far one of the more caring and loving dog sitters we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. Whenever we leave Bob in her care, we know he will be safe and loved, almost as if it were us.”
About: Along with always owning animals, I have provided pet sitting services for many family, friends, and coworkers over the years. Not only am I able to ensure pets are well cared for, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have also been employed as a field biologist and have experience handling and caring for wild animals. I am always excited to further develop my pet-caring skills! I recently returned from hiking the Appalachian Trail and am looking for some flexible and part-time work to ease my transition back into the work force. I currently have full availability and am eager to meet new pet owners and their furry friends! In addition to pet sitting services, I have also provided house sitting over the years and will treat you and your pets space with consideration and respect. I always try to act casually in a space to help animals feel more comfortable with my presence, while still respecting the boundaries and instructions of pet parents.
“Brittany was wonderful with our dog, Maggie! We threw Brittany a little curveball when Maggie’s electric fence collar stopped charging properly, but Brittany was communicative, prompt, and thorough in helping us troubleshoot from hundreds of miles away. She kept our house better than we left it during her overnight stay. We’d love to have her back!”
About: I’m a school nurse, and animal lover looking to make some extra money this summer. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish and horses. I currently live in Arundel, Maine and have a French bulldog, and two cats. I would love to help take care of your cherished, furry family members. I’m available for daily walks, feeding, and overnight sitting in your home. I have availability this summer through out the weekdays, and some weekends available for pet sitting. I will be diligent in following your care instructions and schedule for your pets to provide them kind, compassionate care. This should help to keep them calm, and still have normalcy and fun while you are away.
About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was little. I have had experience with small/big dogs, puppies, cats and hamsters. My puppy experience has involved some kind of training and taking them for walks. I have always cared for animals as they have always been apart of my life. I am currently a Junior at Saint Joseph's College of Maine. I am also a participant on the Women's Basketball Team. I am pretty available throughout the week besides having classes and on the weekends I am available all day. In my home, I have a fenced-in backyard. We also have a camera set up in the house to watch our puppy if none of us are home while she is gated in our mudroom. I have a leash line set up in the backyard and when I take her for walks where she is also on a leash.
“Erin was absolutely fantastic! She was able to come and watch our 12-year-old and 2-month-old pups on a last-minute request. The dogs loved her Instantly! I felt fully comfortable leaving her at my home with Athena & Artie for the day. She sent updates and pictures and took amazing care of them! I will definitely be reaching out again.”
About: I have many years of experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and clients. I have also fostered a dog for a span of a couple weeks. Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I therefore have plenty of love and attention to give to every animal I care for. I enjoy keeping pets active with walks and outdoor play, spending quality time with them indoors, maintaining a clean environment, and, of course, rewarding them with treats when appropriate. I am a calm, dependable, and positive person who values routine and consistency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away :) I love routine and live by my planner to stay organized. I enjoy haveing animals apart of that rontine as well, while also understanding that every pet has unique needs and that some require more time and attention than others. I consistently have Wednesdays and Thursdays free all day. I'm also available for early morning visits and evening appointments, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has different needs, and I adjust my care to match their energy level, preferences, and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep water bowls full, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, companionship, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Avital was AMAZING! We needed someone to house sit our baby pretty last minute and Avital answered our prayers. She came and did a meet and greet before we left and we felt so comfortable right away. She checked in with us regularly and sent us lots of pictures. She left our apartment in great condition and she even drew us a picture of our girl! We definitely plan on reaching out next time we need help and we would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have been working with dozens of pet parents to provide specialized care over their pets’ lifespans. Services include pet sitting, house sitting, feeds and medication, and dog walks. I work a very flexible job, so all I ask is that we coordinate care with 3 to 5 days notice. We will make it work! As someone with cats of their own, I offer services based in client’s homes only, for the safety and comfortability of my pets and your pets.
“Yas was great! Communicative and responsive, and understanding when there was some miscommunication on our part. Thanks for helping us out when we were in a tight spot after our original dog sitter bailed!”
“Christine took wonderful care of our dogs! They had the best time playing in her yard and cuddling on her couch. She sent photos throughout the weekend. We will definitely be asking Christine to care for our dogs in the future.”
About: I have had pets my entire life, including my current best friend who I spend most of my free time with outdoors and playing. Though I am new to Rover, I have worked as a pet sitter for six years now as an official job around my other life commitments. I have cared for dogs of all types and sizes, have worked on training with small pups as well as adopted dogs who are a bit older. I love dogs and would be thrilled to walk and hang and play and care for your pup as my own! I work from home with a flex schedule meaning a lot of my attention can be given to your pup. If its an afternoon walk or an overnight stay I have the flexibility to ensure all of your pets needs are met. I am happy to have pups in my home or in yours. I only take one overnight stay at a time to ensure they have all the care and attention they need. I have experience with dogs of all backgrounds, including dogs who have some hesitancy or trust issues with humans. I am 120% committed to the care and safety of your pet.
“Danny was AWESOME!! He helped us out last minute and took great care of our pups! He kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. We will definitely use him again!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Limerick is $78 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $100 per night. 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.

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 Limerick 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 Limerick 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 Limerick 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
