“I highly recommend Victoria when you want peace of mind when you need someone to look after your furbabies! She is so great with Joey and is one of the few people that I trust.”
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 recently adopted a Cockapoo named Lucy. She is a total sweetheart and loves people and other dogs. I previously owned my own Boxer, Ava, for 9 years. She passed away 2 years ago and so I started working for Rover to share my love, compassion and support to dog owners seeking companionship and enrichment activity for their dog. I am available to watch your dog during the week or weekends. Need a break from your dog so you can enjoy “me” time or have a nice weekend? Then reach out and contact me! I am a huge animal lover and therefore I am available to assist with daily activities (feeding, medications, potty time) and enrichment (walk & play time) including overnight boarding. I am a home owner that provides a 'cozy' and healthy environment. I have a large backyard and live in a nice area in Kennebunkport. I will always have your dog on a long leash to allow him/her to roam safely with me tagging along. I am someone who is very structured and believe that providing consistency & structure to a dog is very important. I do not believe in striking or hitting any animal no matter the reason. I will treat your dog with care like it is my own.
About: I am reliable! When you’re gone, there will be zero stress. ☺️ I’ve had years of pet sitting experience. From puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I work for myself so my schedule can be very flexible! My availability can be as short or long as you need me, 7 days a week. I typically go to the house in which I am hired at. That way I know that the animal and the owner feel most comfortable!
“Laura was great! She gave us detailed updates while we were gone and always included pictures, which we loved. She also made sure to give our cats love and attention! We would definitely ask Laura for help again in the future!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with plenty of availability for long morning walks. I am a current medical student with a flexible schedule, available for last‑minute walks or overnight stays for the right family. I look forward to getting to know you! I’m a first‑year medical student currently on summer vacation, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m available for both morning and afternoon walks, depending on what your dog needs. My days are flexible, so I can easily fit regular weekly walks or occasional check‑ins into my routine. I care for pets in their own home so they can stick to their normal routine. I handle feeding, walks, and any instructions you leave, and make sure your dog gets steady attention throughout the day. My focus is keeping things calm, consistent, and comfortable for your pup.
“Excellent job caring for our 2 boys! She made sure the cats had food, treats, and fresh water! She also did a great job cleaning and sweeping the cat litter mess. Thank you!”

“Liz is wonderful -- she was able to accommodate us over the holiday weekend on short notice when the forecast was too hot to be able to travel safely with our dog Skynet. She was awesome with him, and very understanding of him being a little excitable around new people. Would highly recommend contacting Liz for any needs you have!”
“Nishat was extremely timely and quick to respond when I needed some last minute care! She sent lots of photos for updates and made me feel better that my kitties were getting some play time and love while I was away 🥰”
“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Grateful for Rachael‘s availability! I was in a bind when my husband was out of town and I needed to go into the office. Rachel quickly agreed to come over to walk our Maizy girl. With the reunion the day before, Maizy recognized Rachael immediately, even though it had been three months!She greeted her with a happy smile and tail wags! Thanks again, Rachael for taking such good care of our girl!”
“Ashley is wonderful. She communicates, send tons of photos, and is extremely trustworthy. We would absolutely hire her again! Lucky to have found her in such short notice as well. Thank you Ashley 👏🏽”
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.
About: Animal fosterer with 2 years of experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, plenty of free time, and a genuine love for all animals. Ready to provide attentive, caring pet sitting! I currently work full time in South Portland, but I find watching animals so rewarding so I highly prioritize caring for your pet! I can take walks/potty breaks every few hours except during the workday which would be 8 hours depending on the commute from my work! I only offer house sitting as my home currently has other animals living in it. I love to go to beaches and dog parks or just sit and keep the animals company!
About: I’ve loved animals and grew up with them my entire life. I’m most comfortable with dogs and cats, but I can accommodate additional pets with direction and can deal with all different pet personalities quite well! I’m currently working from home, so my availability is quite open for most situations. I’m also open and would love something regular where I can stop in and do house calls or walks for those pet parents that had to return to the office! I can be flexible! I understand that your pet is your family, and I take that very very seriously. I promise to always treat them well and have their safety as a top priority.
About: Hi there! I’m Sydney, and I’ve always had a love for dogs. I grew up with them and recently adopted a wonderful rescue dog, Asher. I know how important it is to have a caring and reliable walker, and I’m excited to offer that to your dog! My current dog is reactive so I feel comfortable working with other dogs who are also reactive because they still deserve to experience the world! I’m currently in grad school, and working with dogs is a perfect way to combine my passion with my goals. You can trust that I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am a full time grad student , but I’ve always made time for what I love — and that includes caring for dogs! Although my days are busy with classes I prioritize providing walks and playtime for my dog around, ensuring he gets the attention, exercise, and fun he needs. I’m flexible with timing and can adjust to fit your dog’s needs, whether it’s a midday walk, early morning, or evening outing. Whether in my home or yours, I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I’ll make sure they have plenty of space to roam and relax, following your routines and preferences. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and I’ll ensure they feel safe and secure when in their crate. When I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm and safe environment where your dog can enjoy playtime, rest, and plenty of love. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they’re comfortable and happy throughout their stay. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, you can count on me to provide the best care!
About: I've had furry friends before I could even walk, beginning to volunteer at St Francis Animal Shelter when I was only 10, so I'm used to taking care of all kinds of cases. I'm a freelance software dev and couried with a very open schedule, so I find pet care helps me stay active and outside! I mostly have the days and weekends available. I always ensure that the animals I'm caring for have everything they need from a clean area to eat or rest in to a fulfilling play session where they need a nap after!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saco
We hired Jillian for an evening of in-home pet sitting for our 11-month-old Westie, and we couldn't be happier with how it went. Our pup was a little hesitant at first (some classic Westie barking!), but warmed up to Jillian within just a few minutes — a great sign. Jillian sent thorough updates throughout the night, which gave us real peace of mind, followed our puppy's nightly routine to a T, and was completely respectful of our home. We'd happily book her again!
Nikki is fantastic! I was nervous to book a new sitter outside of my regular, but I was immediately put at ease when Nikki arrived. She was patient with my anxious dog, and asked great questions about providing the best care for our rabbit. While we were away she gave us plenty of photos and even videos detailing how they were, that she was shutting the window for the evening, etc. In these videos we could also tell how comfortable our animals were with her, which made being away so much easier. I am confident that if anything out of the ordinary were to happen while she was caring for our pets, she would go above and beyond in a heartbeat to do whatever she could to help. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking Nikki again!
Emma saved the whole day! This was our first time using Rover, and Emma made it easy by being communicative. She was kind and flexible enough to meet River ahead of time, which made us all feel super comfortable with leaving our baby in her care. McRib seemed very comfortable with Emma and we would 100% book with her again.

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 Saco 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.
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 Saco 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Saco with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
