About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, people tend to come to me to watch theirs when out of town or busy I currently am in between jobs, so I will have plenty of time for these animals. I will be getting a job pretty soon though. I will fallow all instructions you may have. I also have 3 fur babies of my own, so if I were to bring them to my place they would have plenty of company.

About: I’m Cody! I grew up with 3 dogs, and I worked at a dog daycare for over a year. I’ve done on and off pet-sitting and walking through craigslist and friends over the years as well. I have 2 cats and a rabbit at home, so I’m good with all different types of animals. I can do pet sitting, check ins, and walks. I have a car with a large backseat so I could also transport your pet to a park or a preferred walking trail if you’d like. I am available weekday mornings before 8am and afternoons after 4pm. My weekends are completely open! Thank you for considering me to hang out with your pets and I hope to hear from you soon! Cody

Jackie was great. She came back for an extra visit to be sure our pup had another chance to go to the bathroom. We'll definitely ask for her help next time we have to leave our pup at home.

About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.

About: I have a personalized approach and am dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every furry friend. With extensive experience in training puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets, I ensure that each animal receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to tailor activities and routines to suit individual personalities and requirements sets me apart, creating a comfortable and enriching experience for pets under my care. From basic obedience training to gentle senior companionship, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that fosters trust and happiness for both pets and their owners. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. I live in a private association and have a sizable, secluded yard that borders a stream and pond. Since I work remotely from home four days a week and have summers off, pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine. Each morning, I dedicate time to feeding, walking and playing with my pets before diving into work tasks. Throughout the day, I take short breaks to ensure they receive attention and exercise. During the summer months, I have the flexibility to extend our outdoor adventures and spend quality time bonding with them on the the trails or swimming. Regular grooming sessions, vet appointments, and training sessions are also scheduled into my weekly agenda to ensure their overall well-being. Essentially,d pets are an integral part of my daily and weekly rhythms. I provide pets with a quiet space, leash walks in safe areas, and separate feeding spots to ensure comfort and safety. I integrate visiting pets with my own for socialization and play. Opportunity for off-leash adventures for dogs with great recall. I have a sizable, secluded yard away from traffic.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life — dogs, cats, parrots, pigs, you name it! I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was little, and caring for them has always come naturally. I have over 5 years of professional experience working hands-on with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Right now, I work at a doggie daycare, where I spend my days making sure every pup is happy, exercised, and socialized safely. Before that, I worked for a breeder, helping care for puppies and adult dogs, learning about behavior, health, and early training. I’ve built a strong understanding of how to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy working breeds — with patience, structure, and love. At home, I have a sweet black lab named Lily, who’s truly my best friend and constant reminder of why I do what I do. She’s taught me so much about communication, routine, and unconditional love — lessons I bring to every pet I care for. What sets me apart from other sitters is how deeply I care — every pet I meet instantly becomes my baby. I don’t just “watch” animals; I connect with them. Because of my daycare and breeder background, I understand both the fun and responsibility that come with pet care. I notice the little things — changes in mood, appetite, or body language — and I always prioritize comfort and safety. I’m not afraid to get on the floor and play, take long walks in any weather, or just sit quietly with a nervous pup until they relax. My whole lifestyle revolves around animals, and it shows in the care I provide. Whether it’s your dog, cat, or something a little more unique, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own Lily. Monday–Friday: I work 6:45 AM–12 PM and 2:45 PM–6 PM. I’m available for midday drop-ins and walks between 12:30PM–2:00 PM, and again after 6:30 PM for dinner walks, evening visits, or overnight house sitting. I can also accommodate early-morning visits before 6:00AM if your pup likes to start the day early! Saturday–Sunday: I work 7:45–10 AM and 2:45–5 PM, so I’m available 10:30AM–2:00PM and after 5:30PM for weekend walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. Normally I have the day off Sunday and the mornings off Monday and Wednesday! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat them just like one of my own. Every pet I meet instantly becomes my baby while they’re in my care — I give them the same love, attention, and structure I give to the dogs I work with every day at the daycare. I make sure their routine stays consistent, from walks and meals to playtime and cuddles. I’m big on communication, so I’ll keep you updated with photos, notes, and little details about how they’re doing while you’re away. Whether your pet loves belly rubs, long walks, or quiet couch time, I’ll match their energy and make them feel safe, loved, and completely at home. At this time, I’m not offering boarding in my home, as one of my dogs is uncomfortable around unfamiliar animals. Her well-being—and the comfort of your pet—are both very important to me. I’m more than happy to provide drop-ins, walks, or care in your home to ensure a safe and stress-free experience for everyone!

About: I have 4 dogs of my own that mean the absolute world to me. I have my cat Miles, who I’ve had for 9 years. I currently live with a friend that does doggy daycare and boarding at home which means I’m interactive with dogs both mine and others all the time! I also have experience with dog and cat bathing! I work as a nursing assistant full-time.My work schedule is changing at the moment, but don’t hesitate to send me a chat and we can work something out! I’m available for dog walking, and check-ins!I have a German Shepherd that has reactive tendencies on leash and have put in countless hours of leash work with him. So if you have a pup that has a hard time on leash, that’s okay! I know what it’s like!

Lauren took good care of my dog Titus, while I was away, and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. She was incredibly attentive and loving, taking the time to understand my dog's needs and personality. She provided regular updates and cute photos, which really put my mind at ease. I could see that Titus was happy and well cared for. Upon return, Titus seemed relaxed and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Lauren.

As of July 2026, there are 901 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mechanic Falls. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mechanic Falls stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Mechanic Falls 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Mechanic Falls with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
