“Abigail was so great with moose! She worked through a snafu with our keys seamlessly and cared for moose so well. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our boy while we were gone for an evening. ❤️”
“I rebooked Danelle for a dog drop-in and cat med and she ended up doing an extra med for the cat who developed an infection leading up to the visit. Always clear communication and reliable. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so that’s 25 years of loving animals, but just 11 years as the sole caregiver of my own. From Labradors to Chihuahuas, to Police K-9s, I’ve loved them all, though I’m currently a cat lady. For the first time in my life, I don’t have any dogs at the moment, as I don’t feel like I have enough space for it to be fair to them. So this is how I get my dog fix, and my steps in at the same time 🤭. I currently have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog, I’m a sucker for an exotic pet. I’ve also had 4 snakes in the past (my husband is terrified or else I’d have some right now). One of my cats is leash trained, and one has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well. I do work full-time during the week, so I am only available after 5pm. Sometimes I’m able to step away for breaks as I work from home 3 days per week, but my work is pretty irregular, so afternoons and evenings are the best bet for my availability. I live in a relatively small condo, so I don’t have much space. As much as I would love to offer boarding, I don’t think it would be fair to your pet, as I also do not have a yard. BUT I’m more than happy to stop by your home and fulfill any requests!
“Abby is really great at watching my cats while I am at work. She plays with them, feeds them and makes sure they are ok. I just found out my older cat has cancer and she makes sure to update me with pictures and notes. I had to change my work days recently and she was flexible and accommodating. I was so worried about being away from them but she has made me feel at ease while I’m at work. I know they are being taken care of. I would highly recommend her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, from Siamese cats to Great Danes! Huge lover of the outdoors and animals of all kinds, especially my sweet 13 year old kitty, Cranberry Bog! :) I work in the education field, so I am avaliable after 2:30 every week day, with most weekends open to take care of your special furry friends! I am a huge believer in creating a safe space for all animals and ensuring their comfort while in my care! I will always communicate with pet parents about all steps of the care process & updates! :)
“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”
About: Mom to a sweet pup, Black Lab/Malinois Mix, Maeve. I’ve had cats and dogs since I was a child. In law school, looking to make a little extra money on the side! I’m excited to meet and care for your pets! I’m currently in law school and working at a law firm part-time. I’m available Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to check in on your furry friends! Due to my own pup at home, I’m only able to do drop in care at your home. Happy to take your pup on a walk in your yard or neighborhood!
About: I've walked dogs before, but I am not as experienced with dogs as I am with cats, however, I like dogs and hope to get more experience caring for them. I currently attend university, I'm also a student athlete, but I'd love to make some extra cash and I really love animals. I am studying animal behavior at school. For both cats and dogs, I will do whatever asked of you in terms of how often to feed them, take them out, medicate them, etc. However my schedule is very busy and I might not be able to go to your house multiple times a day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.
“Carmen was great! She came by every day to hang out with my cat while I was on vacation, and I didn't worry one bit. She sent photos each day. Thank you Carmen!”
“Thank you Aria for taking such good care of George and Gracie - as much as you could. You put my mind at ease with your postings and your daily pics of George in the same chair. But they were eating well and pooping a lot. That’s the best a mom could hope for. Till next time”
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: I have no other commitments to keep me from this and I love animals.... whether walking around your neighborhood or whatever else the fur-baby needs I am currently between jobs so Ill have plenty of time to walk your dog, take care of your pet, whatever they need, I am here to help. I do not currently have a dog (I have a cat) but if I did, there is a pet park here at my apt complex

Alexander has always clearly communicated how our cats were doing, and what he needed to maintain their care. His attention to them, as well as their supplies and needs was always exceptional. It allowed me to sustain a career involving heavy travel while living away from family. I feel 100% confident having him in our home and with our pets.
I am a new client to Ariana...She watched my cat for 11 days and I can not say enough about what an excellent job she did!! She was professional, organized and a pleasure to work with.She communicated and sent pictures while we were away which gave me such peace of mind. My cat is shy and has never come out for a cat sitter but with Ariana she came out several times! I would highly recommend Ariana and I will be using her many times again in the future!
We had a great experience with our drop-in dog sitter! She was super friendly, professional, and immediately put us at ease. Duch was a little unsure of her at first, but it didn't take long before he completely warmed up to her and ended up loving her visit. Having someone so reliable and caring was incredibly helpful while my boyfriend was working and I was able to take a much-needed vacation. Knowing Duch was being well cared for gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! Thank you for taking such great care of Duch! 🐾💕
Namritha happened to be available last minute for my booking of 3 ginormous, rambunctious dogs. Couldn’t be more grateful. Her communication was quick and concise which I very much appreciate. My dogs and rabbit certainly made a fast friend. We hope to work with her again 😊
This was my second time using Elizabeth and she is wonderful! I was on a two week trip and it's such great peace of mind to have someone so trustworthy to look after my cat; I never worried once while I was gone. I'm so impressed that my super shy kitty actually came out while she was at the house this time - she must have some seriously chill vibes.
Nikki took care of our sweet kitty Binx for a whole week and we just love her so much. She gives such detailed updates and you can tell she truly cares about him! Binx has urinary issues and requires prescription food with careful attention to his litter box habits and Nikki always keeps us updated so that we can enjoy our trips. Thank you again Nikki!!
Megan was super kind and communicative. We enjoyed the daily pictures and updates for our cat Sophie. She offered extra home watching services while we were away. She seems to have more experience with dogs than cats, but we felt very comfortable leaving our cat in her hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saco is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 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 985 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saco. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
