“Abigail did an awesome job watching Finn for us- arrived when expected, and followed all the care instructions we discussed. We appreciate it so much! Even the neighbors told us how good she was with Finn and that he loved being with her. We Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Victoria was great as soon as she arrived and Bea was instantly wagging her tail, asking for belly rubs, and overall excited to meet a new friend. Victoria hungout with Bea in a hotel room for a few hours and spent time snuggling her and keeping her entertained. Would absolutely recommend! 💯”
“Nicole took great care of my spoiled little boy! She took him on several beach outings and sent me pictures of him. She collected my mail while I was away and left my house spotless! I would highly recommend Nicole if you need a caring and responsible sitter for your furbaby.”
“Kaylee stayed overnight with Cali and she was great! She was good with communication and making sure Cali was well taken care of, she took time to play with her and kept me updated as needed with photos. I will be requesting her for more overnight dog sittings.”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for 7 nights and took exceptional care of our dogs. She sent thoughtful daily updates and photos, responded quickly to messages, and clearly spent a lot of quality time walking, playing, and giving them attention. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. Ashley was reliable, attentive, and treated our dogs and home with great care. We would not hesitate to book Ashley again and highly recommend her!”
“Jordyn is the friendliest, most reliable, dog-loving, tidiest, amazing dog sitter! She handled my two large rescue mutts with ease and joy. A truly delightful experience!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nancy! She took such exceptional care of my sweet Piper while I traveled. She was incredibly attentive, sent frequent updates and photos, and most importantly, loved Piper as if she were her own. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Piper was not just being cared for, but genuinely loved. Piper thrives in a quiet, one-on-one environment without other pets, and Nancy’s home and companionship could not have been a more perfect fit. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I am beyond grateful to Nancy for giving Piper so much love and attention, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pup. ❤️”
“Kari did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Butters! She took care of his medical needs and was very good at communication, providing us routine updates and photos. She also left the house clean, which was greatly appreciated. We would be happy to have Kari back to help us out in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was amazing! She was available for a last minute booking with Athena and stayed at our house. Her communication was prompt, and we felt at ease on our trip knowing Athena was well taken care of. Will definitely reach out for future trips!”
“Katie was wonderful taking care of our pets and home. Katie sent photos and gave us updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her and we will definitely be asking for her help in the future.”
“Marissa was fantastic! I will definitely use her again! My girls fell in love with her, and one likes to test people to see if she can gain control and run the house. Marissa was firm in who was in control, but loving to jot hurt feelings. She provided regular updates and together we got through some tummy issues to make it where I got back home. The house kitties, who were not part of her duties other than to accept snuggles, adored her as well. At one point she was surrounded by 2 dogs and 2 kitties touching her at once! When we got back, as excited as my dogs were to see me, they also looked around me to see if Marissa was there. My animals tell me all I need to know about a person, abd they adore her. Your pets will too!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life—from Cavapoos to Corgis to Wheaten Terriors to Doodles, to Boxers! I’ve also had the pleasure of having a Goldendoodle of my own as well! My sweet pup was in an accident and required lots of specific care such as wound care and medication administration for many months. I am a very patient and dedicated pet sitter and will treat your pet like my own. I’ll keep them safe, make sure they get the attention they need, and assure that you get the updates you crave while away from your bestie. I absolutely love animals and I also know how challenging it can be to have peace of mind while maintaining your life responsibilities outside of your furry friends—I hope to have the opportunity to take that stress off of your plate! I’m currently in grad school for Speech Language Pathology (classes are online until January 2027) and work per diem at the hospital. I have two shifts per week serving at a restaurant in Portland as well, they are typically 6-8 hour shifts so if booked for an overnight, there may be a day or two that I am away for that amount of time! Otherwise, my schedule is super flexible and perfect for that mid day potty and play break! Safety is first! You tell me how you like things to go in your home and what makes your pet the most comfortable and I’ll make sure it happens! Let me know if your pet has any anxieties in public and I’ll keep in mind ways to keep them happy and calm on walkies!
About: I’m a school nurse, and animal lover looking to make some extra money this summer. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish and horses. I currently live in Arundel, Maine and have a French bulldog, and two cats. I would love to help take care of your cherished, furry family members. I’m available for daily walks, feeding, and overnight sitting in your home. I have availability this summer through out the weekdays, and some weekends available for pet sitting. I will be diligent in following your care instructions and schedule for your pets to provide them kind, compassionate care. This should help to keep them calm, and still have normalcy and fun while you are away.
“Sam was responsive and flexible and kept us informed of how our pets were doing while we were away. Our dog is very wary of strangers and Sam was able to gradually earn his trust over the long weekend.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs from 25 pounds to 125 pounds! I love them all from hound dogs to huskies! Ready to walk, care, and love on dogs of all sizes I work a 8-5 flexibly from home and in the Portland office Monday-Friday with weekend availability. I typically go into the office at least two days a week but can make exceptions depending on the situation. Can do local day walks and adjust work times within reason. I have a large unfenced front and back yard. A good private side road for longer walks. I also have a Pico cat who is curious but friendly to other animals. Able to come and care for animals in southern Maine.
About: 🐾 Hey there! I'm Emily, a passionate pet-sitter with a lifelong love for animals. Growing up, pets were always a part of my family, teaching me the importance of care and communication. I understand how hard it can be to leave your furry friend behind when you're away, which is why I strive to provide a loving and attentive experience for both you and your pet. I ensure they receive the same love and attention they would get at home. Can't wait to meet your adorable furry friend! 🐾 I am available mornings and evenings everyday. I work from home so I have the flexibility to check on your pet throughout the day or work from where ever your pet is! I care for animals by listening. Pets tell you what they need a lot of the time! Whether we are going on long walks, going to the dog park or just hanging out at home I’ll make sure your pet has a friend!
“I can’t say enough great things about Alyssa! She was easy to communicate with, sweet, great with our two dogs (including a new puppy). She gave frequent and thorough updates with cute pictures. I felt completely at ease leaving her with both my house and my dogs! We would 100% have Alyssa back again :)”
“Jessica was punctual and easy to communicate with (before and during), sharing pics of our dogs almost immediately to reassure us that all was well. Jessica was also very attentive to our dogs' individual needs, including separation anxiety and caution towards new people. Thank you!”

Hannah was a great dog sitter! Rusty can be a challenge at times but Hannah was able to gain his trust. She met some of my neighbors and Rusty’s doggie friends too. The house was just the way I left it and Rusty had been well cared for while I was gone. I would highly recommend Hannah for dog/house sitting!
Annie was so great with our two pugs! They warmed to her immediately when they met her. She was super attentive and kept us posted while we were away on a trip. They can certainly be a handful, and she kept them busy and happy during her stay. Highly recommend!
Heather did such a great job at our house while we were away on an international trip. She sent photo updates and was always prompt to respond if we checked in with how things were going. She was very understanding of our dogs specific breed and we felt very at ease leaving him and our cat and chickens in her care. They seemed to have a great time with her and we came home to a very clean house which was lovely! This was our first time using an in home pet sitter and we would highly recommend Heather and her services!
Brittany was an exceptional and attentive sitter for our two dogs. We had to say goodbye to one of our beloved pups just before the stay, and she showed so much care in comforting the other two as they adjusted to his absence. It meant a lot that she kept their routine consistent and gave them plenty of extra affection during such a difficult time. When one of them experienced a medical event, she handled it with professionalism and calm, which we truly appreciated. Communication 10/10.
Taylor was great! This was our first time using rover and we we’re going to be out of the country for over 2 weeks. She came over and met our cat Panther before we left gave us confidence she was good either way cats. During the trip she gave us regular updates and the most important thing was Panther looked happy. Our only regret with Taylor is that she’s moving out of state. We cannot recommend her more highly!
We loved having Anna stay at our house for a week looking over our sweet boy! I was very appreciative that she took time out of her weekend to come meet him prior to booking so he was nice and comfortable when she arrived, since we had to leave him very early in the morning. She was communicative and sent pictures of him napping throughout the week, and I knew that he was comfortable and happy with her! She also left our house sparkling clean and it was really nice to come home to that!
Ken is awesome! He took such good care of my Cutter, sending me messages and pics daily of he and Cutter. For some reason they do not show up in Rover (probably my fault). He took care of my property, even washing and making up the bed. Will definitely call on Ken again for future services. He is absolutely wonderful and it allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was comfortable and safe. 💗

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saco walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saco maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!

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 .
