“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. ❤️”
“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”
“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! :)
About: I have taken care of 25+ dogs and cats in the past 3 years, to include in home/overnight pet- and house-sitting, dog walking, brushing, litter box maintenance and pill-based medication administration. When taking care of other people’s pets, I provide the attention and care that I was seeking for my own cat and dog (who, sadly, are no longer with me.) My top priority is the safety of the pet, and to that end, I take no risks with the animals in my care – food protocols are carefully followed, walks are always on leash and doors are carefully monitored to ensure indoor cats remain indoors. With my pet care services, you will have: • Happy, safe and well-cared-for pets • A clean and orderly (tidy) home • Clear and timely communication • Regular and frequent updates (with photos and videos of your pets) • Reliable and dependable pet and home care As a recently-retired educator, I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time for your pets. I am available for daily walks, overnight or weekend house sits (your house or mine) and vacation sits (1-4 weeks is typical). When starting a new relationship with a client and their pet(s), I schedule a brief ‘pop over’ appointment where I can meet the animal(s) in the presence of their humans. This helps everyone involved – pets and humans – get to know me and feel comfortable with me before I take on the responsibility for the pet. I take care to be calm around the pets I sit - I let both cats and dogs take their time to warm up to me (come to me when they are ready, sniff my hands, my person, my things). I am careful when feeding animals - particularly dogs - giving them space. I follow the pet's routine - if they sleep on the bed, I let them sleep on the bed; if they like to go in and out frequently, I let them go in and out frequently. I try to make them as comfortable as I can, in their human's absence.
“Becca did an amazing job taking care of our 2 kitties! She sent thorough updates and pictures so we knew how things were going. She was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. One of our cats is on medication, and she was able to administer her pill and provide detailed updates so we didn’t have to worry about our cat’s chronic health issues. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, even taking out the trash for us when it got full. She was very detail oriented and we knew the cats were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
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.
About: Experienced veterinary technician assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled in medication administration and comfortable caring for pets of any age or size. I go to school and work a job but I also find myself with lots of free time during the week. I would like to fill that time. I use the necessary precautions in regards to the animals breed, size, age, and weight in order to maintain a healthy environment for the animal.
“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.”
“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”
“Meagan was wonderful! She is very communicative and reliable, and was great about sending photos at each check-in. She even watered my plants! I returned home to a very happy kitty :) I would definitely book her again, and highly recommend her.”
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.

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! 🐾💕
This was our second time having Connie care for our cat while out of town. Both times, we have been so pleased with the care Connie provides our kitty. She is very communicative, friendly, and reliable. We would be more than happy to book with Connie again in the future and plan to do so.
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 October 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 October 2026, there are 992 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 .
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 , 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
- 93% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
