About: I’ve lived with two dogs for 5 years and would take care of our small frenchie and husky. I’m used to walking and playing with dogs to make sure they’re entertained and exercised! Grooming is a big part of taking care of a husky so I understand the need with brushing! I have the mornings open on Monday & Wednesday from 7:30 till 1:30 and the afternoons 6:30 - 9:00. Fridays and the weekends I am available throughout the day so feel free to reach out! I meet the needs that are required and preferred to keep your dog happy and comfortable as well as yourself! I can take them to the park for a walk or just around the neighborhood. What is needed, I’m happy to work with!
“Kayla was so patient and understanding. We felt very comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands and super safe with her! This was our first experience with rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience or sitter. Kayla seriously is the best.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, giving me a deep understanding and a genuine passion for their care. From leisurely walks to cozy days in, I've extended my love and patience to not only my neighbors' pets but also to my own 4 cats and several local strays. My commitment to providing a nurturing, fun, and safe environment for pets is unwavering. I believe every pet deserves love and dedicated care, and I bring this philosophy to life with every furry friend I meet. Pet care is my main focus, allowing me to have an extremely flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. Because I manage my own hours, I can easily adapt to your dog’s or cat's specific routine, making sure they get their walks, meals, and potty breaks exactly when they are used to them. Whether you need early morning visits, midday dog walks, or someone dedicated to staying overnight at your house, I can structure my day perfectly around your pet’s needs to ensure they are never left waiting! Ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home is my absolute top priority. When staying at your place or doing drop-in visits, I maintain your pet's exact daily routine to prevent any anxiety, treating your home with the utmost respect and cleanliness. I am extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medication (if needed), fresh water, and active potty breaks. Plus, I love keeping you close to your furry best friends by sending frequent photo and video updates throughout the day, so you can have total peace of mind while you are away!
About: Hi! I’m Payton, and I am a member of The International Cat Association (TICA). I have many years of hands-on experience caring for and showing cats of many different breeds and personalities. From ages 16 to 20, I helped manage the day-to-day care of a multi-cat cattery, where I cared for kittens, breeding cats, and retired show cats. My experience includes feeding specialized diets, administering medications, grooming, nail trims, litter box maintenance, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining consistent routines for multiple cats. Over the past four years of showing cats, I have learned how to handle them calmly and respectfully while paying close attention to each cat’s individual temperament. Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, or requires extra attention, my goal is to provide reliable, low-stress care while you are away. References are available upon request. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make drop-in visits during the week and provide longer stays over the weekends. Since I have cats of my own, their care is already a part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, clean spaces, and consistent attention while you are away. I believe cats are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their own familiar environment. I provide in-home care where I can maintain their normal routines, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and medication if needed.

I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for whether we’re out on a walk or just hanging out during a dropin. I’ll follow whatever routine you give me, keep a close eye on them, and treat them like one of my own.
“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”
About: I have two years of experience working in dog training with Good Dog, where I developed valuable skills in handling, caring for, and understanding dogs with different personalities, temperaments, and behavioral needs.

I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with every animal. My experience has prepared me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or providing companionship, I am committed to treating every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.

I can accommodate extended house-sitting arrangements and provide pets with consistent companionship, feeding, attention, and care. I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As both a dog and cat owner, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet. Caring for my own animals has taught me the value of patience, responsibility, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Along with my two years of experience in dog training with Good Dog, I have developed strong skills in animal handling, recognizing behaviors, and building trust with animals. I prioritize maintaining a clean and secure environment, providing fresh food and water, following established routines, and ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every animal has different comfort levels, and I always respect their boundaries while helping them feel safe and relaxed. Whether caring for pets in my home or their owner’s home, I am committed to treating every animal like family and providing owners with peace of mind knowing their pets are in responsible and dependable hands.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saco is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
