“This is amazing my dogs love their visits withax it's a life saver. No more potty accidents in the house so far it's been very beneficial to have our pet visited with Max.”
“Great first time experience with Melanie . She went out if her way to make Daisy and me comfortable with the drop in process. Not sure why a walk didn’t work but that’s fine, she usually lives walks but can get nervous of other dog s.”
“Thanks so much for looking after our three cats! Shelly is a wonderful communicator and I felt very comfortable leaving our cats and our home in her care for drop in visits.”
“Hayleigh did a wonderful job with our cats. They were adopted litter mates at the age of 3 months. They have never been without us, so they were a little shy about showing themselves. Everything was done as asked, feeding, litter box, etc. Would use again if the need arises.”
About: Ever since i was little we've always had animals at home, I have experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I'm very attentive to pet behavior and i understand how important routines, patience, and trust are when caring for someone's pet, my number 1 priority is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently working part-time so Mondays-Fridays i am available to care for pets, i am able to do weekends if needed, but my schedule is pretty open! I have a Mini Austrailian Shepherd named Teagan who is my fur baby, she goes out about every two hours but if she really needs to go she will tell you, she gets along great with other dogs, and she is full of personality and loves to play!
“Annebelle did such a good job with my pup! I needed to find a walker last minute and she was able to come by and my special old man dog absolutely loved her. 10/10 highly recommend”
About: I have yet to meet someone who can out-dog-person me! Dogs are the best part of life. I have a German Shepherd and an English Pointer who face the brunt of my dog voice, personalized jingles, etc., - but out of respect for their patience I'm offering my services to other dogs! I have experience ranging from potty training new puppies to distributing meds to senior dogs and caring for them post-operation. I love to bring my dogs (and yours) on outdoor adventures in our midcoast community - hiking, swimming, lounging in the sun, and breaking out the snowshoes for winter. We'll wear each other out! I work at a public school and I’m a grad student - so I have lots of time to care for pets during the summer and school vacation times! During the academic year, I’m available weekends and weekdays after 4pm. I live in a small house with two big dogs (one being a senior hound), which is why I don't offer care for your pets at my own home. I will utilize whatever safety plans you put in place when I care for your pet - whether you have a dog that's great in your fenced-in backyard or a flight-risk that needs to be harnessed and leashed.
“Gillian was awesome. she was so professional and friendly and treated our cats amazingly. she even disposed of a mouse in the basement for us. i felt very comfortable leaving our babies in her care for our 5 day trip. I loved seeing the photos and getting the report card after each visit. I'd definitely book with Gillian again!”
“Jill took great care of our golden retriever while we were away and had super communication - providing updates with each drop-in. We felt very assured that Franklin was in good hands. Thanks, Jill!”
“Tanya was so very accommodating! I needed a last minute drop in for my dog Josie and she responded back to my request quickly and we were able to do a meet and greet that same day! When she stopped by she even sent me photos of my girl which made me so happy, most importantly she gave Josie her medication which was my biggest concern. Thank you so much Tanya!”
“It’s great to discover a pet carer that no only loves animals, but has an exceptional levels of responsibility and competence. Elizabeth is terrific in so many ways. I highly recommend!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Amanda. Leaving a small puppy and other dog (both Basenjis) in someone else’s care can be nerve-racking, but Amanda made the entire process feel effortless and reassuring. From the start, it was clear she truly understands dogs and their personalities — especially a breed like a Basenji, which isn’t always the easiest! She was incredibly attentive, patient with our puppy, and thoughtful about making sure both dogs felt comfortable and cared for. We received regular updates and so many amazing photos, which made it clear our dogs were happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. When we returned home, both dogs were calm, content, and clearly well cared for. It gave a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust them again with Amanda. We will absolutely have her back again, I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and genuinely great pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs. Small and large I’ve worked with them. I walked dogs for my neighbors when I was in high school. I truly believe There is no greater joy than the joy brought to you by a dog. I hope Ripley and I have the privilege of spending quality time with your best friend. I recently moved to Florida to help my grandmother. I’m hoping river will bring me the flexibility to work and care for her. I prefer a few hours notice but same day booking are fine. I have a dog named Ripley. If you want me to bring my Fur baby as a friend for your dog I am more than happy to bring him along. He is a fully trained and certified SA. If your dog doesn’t like other dogs Ripley doesn’t have to join me for the stay. My goal is for you and your dog to be comfortable and feel safe while you’re away.
About: I owned and operated a full-service petsitting company for over 23 years, and wish to continue providing quality and compassionate care to new furry friends! Experienced with meds, injections, wound care, etc. Vet reference gladly provided. Bonded & insured. I look forward to caring for your pets and providing you peace of mind when you are away. Birds, cats, dogs, fish all welcome! Since my beloved Seymour passed away, I am now able to housesit and keep the occasional furry guest in my home. Dogs would get out for walks/yard time every few hours; cat box cleaned ditto. Feeding, play and light grooming throughout the day and evening as you specify. I work part-time in Camden, but am able to take dogs to work with me, where there is a big yard and plenty of potty break and play space. Typical visits prioritize potty needs, feeding/medicating and petting and play. Hanging out fun, too! I treat your pets as if they were my own. I let them set the parameters for play, touch and exercise. Bonding usually happens quickly!

Melanie was great with my 3 month old kittens. She had a great understanding of their behaviors and needs. Her warm personality was a wonderful fit for these two shy kittens. She was professional, on-time, and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend Melanie, and look forward to working with her in the future.
Max is AMAZING!!!! We have ongoing visits scheduled for cat care, and Max is extremely reliable and efficient. But the best bonus is that our cat, usually VERY shy with strangers, has come to ADORE Max!!! I love to see the pictures of him enjoying snacks and cuddles. I highly recommend Max!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rockland on Rover is $30.53 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 107 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockland. 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 Rockland 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
