“Kaden took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. The dogs were happy At the meet and greet meeting Kaden asked questions that would help him to best care for our pups and be respectful of our home. We will definitely ask him to care for them again!”
“Amanda is amazing! She took great care of our pups and sent the cutest pics. She left our house spotless and I just can’t thank her enough for the affection and extra attention she gave our 2 boys. We would definitely use her again and again. Thank you so much, Amanda!!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Trie provided for our 13-year-old Maltipoo. He has a tough time with separation anxiety and often struggles with eating when we're away, but Trie was absolutely incredible with him. She stayed by his side, took him on several walks a day, and knew exactly how to encourage him to eat. Trie sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, kind, and attentive — exactly the kind of person you’d hope to find to care for your pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for any future travel!”
“Sydney was a fabulous dog/housesitter for us staying with our dogs in our home for almost two weeks for our first time leaving the dogs alone without a family member. She was prompt, kind, courteous and kept us updated the whole time while our family took a bucket list vacation together. She left the house in great condition and spoiled the girls with snuggles and pets the whole time. Highly recommend her!!!! Thanks for allowing us to have a memorable trip without worrying about the house and dogs!!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing pet sitter. She sent many many photos and texts regarding my animals while we were away. It was very comforting. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Meghan was a great dog sitter for my two pups! She maintained communication throughout, was always punctual, and showed great flexibility. Most importantly, she was incredibly kind and caring toward my dogs. I recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”
About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own! My Cocker Spaniel Willy has his own health issues, so if any extra special care is required for your pet, I’m your girl! I’m a full time registered nurse (RN) and only work 3 days a week! I am a Registered Nurse and only work 3 days a week! I am looking for ways to spend my days off, and I thought what better way than with animals!? I currently live in Biddeford and am available to travel to your home for any of your pets needs! I previously lived in Portland and work in Westbrook so I’m familiar with the area! Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!
“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”
“Lori went the extra mile to ensure that our boy Monty was well cared for while we were away. She even sent us several photos so we wouldn’t worry about him and made an extra trip to the house to be sure that the temperature was comfortable for him.”
“Ashley stayed in my home and took exceptional care of Harley and Izzy while I was away. She treated them like her own and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that Harley and Izzy were relaxed, happy, and enjoying their time with her. I am incredibly grateful for the care Ashley provided. Being away from my dogs is never easy, but knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Lee was able to help us last minute over a holiday weekend and still took the time to come meet us and our dog, Blue, beforehand. Lee sent pictures and updates while we were away and took great care of her. Blue seemed happy and comfortable, which let us relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Lee!”
“Faith did an amazing job taking care of our house, pets (dogs & cats), and farm animals (goats & donkeys) while we took a week's long tropical vacation. It's a huge responsibility, but we always felt comfortable knowing she was there to manage things. Faith is extremely communicative and reliable, and our dogs absolutely fell in love with her. We will DEFINITELY use her again to watch our gang when we travel. Highly recommend her for any job, big or small, and I'm so grateful to have found someone who can take such good care of our animals ❤️”
“My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!”
About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.
“Rachael was absolutely wonderful caring for our dogs! We have a senior dog with extra needs as well as a younger, very energetic dog, and Rachael provided dependable, loving care to both. We received updates and photos while we were away, and Rachael kept us well informed with how our pups were doing. She also was very responsible in our home, and left things in even better shape than before she arrived. We would highly recommend Rachael to others, and will certainly be reaching out to her again as future dog sitting needs arise.”
About: Hi! I am a licensed veterinary technician whose passion has been pets and animals my whole life! Before I was an LVT, I worked at a well known doggy daycare and boarding facility while I was in college. Even before that, I would pet sit for friends and family. I have experience with dogs, cats (I’m a crazy cat lady at heart), pocket pets (guinea pigs, rats, hamsters), farm animals, and the occasional snake! I’ll love your fur babies like my own! I currently work in Portland Tuesday-Friday 7:30-6pm. I would love to take care of your pets outside these hours if that fits their lifestyle! I have reliable transportation to come to your home and take care of your pets! I will follow any specific directions you have for your pet, their safety and comfort is my priority. I am knowledgeable on animal behavior and will treat them as if they were my own pet to make sure they get the best treatment! At this time, I cannot take pets into my own home.
“Marissa was fantastic! I will definitely use her again! My girls fell in love with her, and one likes to test people to see if she can gain control and run the house. Marissa was firm in who was in control, but loving to jot hurt feelings. She provided regular updates and together we got through some tummy issues to make it where I got back home. The house kitties, who were not part of her duties other than to accept snuggles, adored her as well. At one point she was surrounded by 2 dogs and 2 kitties touching her at once! When we got back, as excited as my dogs were to see me, they also looked around me to see if Marissa was there. My animals tell me all I need to know about a person, abd they adore her. Your pets will too!”

Kaden does a wonderful job caring for our 2 dogs and our home. He keeps us updated as to how they are doing regularly throughout the stay. He communicates well and does not assume anything or leave anything to chance. The dogs seem very happy with him as well. We will not hesitate to ask him to care for Jake and Molly again!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Waterboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 798 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Waterboro. 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 North Waterboro 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 North Waterboro 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 North Waterboro 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.

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.
