“Payton did drop in visits for our two cats while we went on a two week vacation. She was great with communication and sending photos for each visit. The cats were well taken care of while we were away. I recommend Payton as a friendly and reliable person. Thanks Payton!”
About: Experienced caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Skilled in handling energetic puppies, including leash training, socialization, and establishing positive routines. Compassionate care for senior dogs, with attention to mobility limitations, arthritis, vision or hearing loss, and age-related health needs. Experienced administering oral medications and following prescribed medication schedules accurately. Knowledgeable in post-operative recovery care, including activity restrictions, monitored walks, incision observation, and rehabilitation support as directed by veterinarians. Comfortable with dogs that require special handling, mobility assistance, or adaptive equipment. Experienced providing feeding, fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and companionship during visits. Able to recognize changes in behavior or health and communicate concerns promptly to owners. Committed to safe leash handling, positive reinforcement techniques, and maintaining a calm, low-stress environment. Dependable, trustworthy, and focused on treating every pet as if they were my own. I offer flexible daytime and evening availability to walk, visit, and spend quality one-on-one time with your pup. Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, exercise, companionship while you're at work, or an evening check-in, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to their needs. My goal is to ensure your pet stays happy, comfortable, active, and well cared for until you're home. Your dog's safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I use secure leash and harness practices and follow your pet's normal routine to minimize stress. I carefully monitor dogs for signs of illness, injury, overheating, fatigue, or discomfort during walks and visits. I clean up after every walk and help keep your home tidy by wiping muddy paws, cleaning food and water bowls as needed, and promptly cleaning up any accidents. Fresh water is always provided, and feeding instructions are followed exactly as requested. I sanitize hands and equipment between visits when appropriate to help reduce the spread of germs between households. I keep gates, doors, and fences securely closed and locked, and I never leave a pet unattended in unsafe situations. I communicate with pet owners after each visit, providing updates on walks, meals, medications, bathroom breaks, and any concerns that arise.
“Julia was absolutely excellent! My dog, Nash is a bit jumpy, nervous and skittish as he was abused prior. Julia was extremely patient with me and him, flexible with times, and diligent about updating me and texting me. Will certainly use her services again!”
“Quite pleased with Sue. I only have a cat but that said , my cat came out to play with Sue swishing Maggie’s’ fishing pole. I knew this because I got many photos and text which makes me so happy when I am away. Will definitely use again.”
“Caitlin was a wonderful caretaker for our bunny! I really appreciated how responsive Caitlin was to all of my messages. Caitlin was also very punctual for all of her visits and took great care of our bun. I look forward to having Caitlin visit Pee Wee again in the future!”
“Tessa is so wonderful! Our dogs did extremely well with her for her 1st time meeting them. We appreciated her patience with the boys, and that she came from the distance that she did to meet and get to know them.”
“Evelyn took great care of our senior cat during our Christmas vacation. She spent real quality time with her, and we came home to a happy, playful cat. We especially appreciate her dedication during a white Christmas, driving in snowy conditions every day. Highly recommend her drop-in service!”

About: I have spent many overnights at homes while providing pet care. The durations of these stays have been up to a week. I do very well with following clear directions for feeding, medications, as well as other pet care needs. This includes affection and playing— I absolutely love dogs and cats! I am a teacher, which of course is a very busy job. However, I do not work over the summer, which means I have lots of flexibility in these months. I am also available during most weekends! I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following instructions regarding feeding, medications, going outside, as well as anything else that may be necessary! When owners are gone, I recognize it is best for the pets to keep their routines as consistent as possible! I respect any rules clients may have for their pets (e.g. where around they house they are allowed, any dietary limitations, and any necessary precautions to take so that the pets stay safe!)

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Orford on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 Orford 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.
