About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so that’s 25 years of loving animals, but just 11 years as the sole caregiver of my own. From Labradors to Chihuahuas, to Police K-9s, I’ve loved them all, though I’m currently a cat lady. For the first time in my life, I don’t have any dogs at the moment, as I don’t feel like I have enough space for it to be fair to them. So this is how I get my dog fix, and my steps in at the same time 🤭. I currently have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog, I’m a sucker for an exotic pet. I’ve also had 4 snakes in the past (my husband is terrified or else I’d have some right now). One of my cats is leash trained, and one has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well. I do work full-time during the week, so I am only available after 5pm. Sometimes I’m able to step away for breaks as I work from home 3 days per week, but my work is pretty irregular, so afternoons and evenings are the best bet for my availability. I live in a relatively small condo, so I don’t have much space. As much as I would love to offer boarding, I don’t think it would be fair to your pet, as I also do not have a yard.
“Julie was great! Our kitty Ripley was happy and well taken care of! Julie did exactly what we needed and asked for. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday and not have to worry about if Ripley kitty was okay. Julie was easy to communicate with and checked in so we were sure all was well. We would absolutely reach out and trust Julie to check in on Ripley again. Thank you Julie!”
“Jillian is a wonderful sitter for our puppy, Petey. She is accommodating and a good communicator in regards to scheduling. Jillian is an experienced dog owner and very thoughtful and caring of animals in general. We needed to leave our dog longer than usual on a weekend day and she did an excellent job making sure his needs were met. We came home to a very happy puppy and no messes in the house!”
“Ariana was amazing!!! I am so grateful to her for being so kind and thoughtful while I was away. She cared for my fur baby like he was hers. Took him on walks, played with him, understood what he needed at all times, and communicated daily with me, as well as took pictures of my boy so I could see their adventures! I would absolutely book with Ariana again! She made my trip so relaxing and stress free knowing he was being cared for! Thank you Ariana!!!!! I’m so grateful! Sheila :)”
About: Having grown up with dogs in my family since I was very young, I have seen how they add so much value to our lives. Our pets lives are short, so they deserve our fullest love and attention. You can rely on me to walk, feed, play, bathe, and care for your pet to my fullest potential. I am home a majority of the time throughout the day, and have plenty of time to care for your pup! I also have a flexible schedule, and can work something out with you. I live near trails and the beach, my home is clean and comfortable. I have a small yard for your pup to play in. I usually spend most my days outdoors.
“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”
“Carmen is the best! She’s watched my cat Meatball twice now and each time she comes she feeds and brushes him and gives him treats. I feel comfortable with her and she respects my home too.”
“Marlena was great with our pet rabbit! She was prompt with checking in with us and responding to our messages and she sent lots of photos of our bun having a great time!”
“Jocelyn did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a few days! She was always reliable and communicative. She even won the heart of my very nervous cat🩷 My babies can’t wait to see her again!”
“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”
“Eva was amazing! She was extremely communicative and her love for dogs eased our minds while we left our dog for the first time with a sitter vs. family. I could not recommend her services enough!”
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!
About: My super strength as a pet caregiver, is my interest in getting to know an animal's personality and working mindfully and respectfully with their nature. I prioritize safety, trust and attention. I've taught young children and raised kittens, puppies and chickens over the last twenty years. As a lover of Great Pyrenees (having raised three) and cats, I have great respect for the subtle and obvious efforts our animals use to communicate with us. I'm experienced with all ages. Senior pets are very dear to me. I've had the honor to provide comforting care for my own animals and provide tender touch, medications, dietary support, and a calm presence through their final months. I also love training and nurturing puppies. I am available to provide individualized day and overnight care for your pet(s) and plants. Contact me to discuss your short-term or longterm needs. I am especially interested in helping people feel at ease during holidays and vacations by providing qualified, experienced multi-day pet care. Mindfulness, kindness, and experience guide my services. I'm happy to travel to care for pets in the comfort of their home or mine! My place was designed for Great Pyrenees. I have a large, protective deck and fenced yard for supervised off-leash, outdoor time.
About: I love to care for dogs and cats, big or small, kittens, and puppies, welcome, too! I have great energy and am a loving person that has built bonds with all the special pets I’ve been graciously surrounded with all of my life. Whether healthy pups who love long walks, and fetch, or older dogs and cats that require special diets and gentle care, I love to help them in any way I can. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so my mornings and evenings, and most weekends, too, I am here to assist with yours! Some of my clients and friends feel more comfortable leaving notes to assure their pets get the same routine they are used to. I follow all instructions, when available, and make sure to stay prompt with feeding and walking times. The needs of any pet I am caring for are important to me and I want to make sure they feel safe and loved in my care. My home is welcome to boarding if the supplies are provided.
“Nishat and I are newly meeting for my cat, Stella’s care. So far I’ve been extremely impressed by her foresight and thorough job. I have also very much appreciated all the pictures along the way (: thank you so much Nishat!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Old Orchard Beach
Sparrow is wonderful! They are very attentive to detail and as agreed made sure they arrived at the specified time and all tasks performed. They are very compassionate and clearly love being around animals. I could be assured that if there was a problem or issue they were unsure of they would bring it to my attention. I have terrible PTSD from another pet sitters grave mistake, but Sparrow helped put my mind at ease. You won’t be disappointed hiring Sparrow to take care of your beloved pets.
Carmen is fantastic and always does such a nice job with Meatball! I’ve lost track how many days/occasions she has come by to take care of him while I am away on trips, etc. Thank you so much Carmen! Always dependable, sends great photos, my house always looks a little bit cleaner than when I left it :-)
Kayla was wonderful! She’s very sweet and clearly loves animals like I do. I booked somewhat last minute and she was very accommodating coming for a meet and greet late in the evening. I felt very safe leaving my two kitties with her. They even came out for pets which they rarely do with strangers. I would definitely book with her again ♡ ︎

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Old Orchard Beach 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
