“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!”
“Jocelyn did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a few days! She was always reliable and communicative. She even won the heart of my very nervous cat🩷 My babies can’t wait to see her again!”
“Ariana was amazing with our two dogs and cat! She was so caring and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away.”
“Marlena was FANTASTIC! She was very approachable and kind, and my dog, who doesn’t love many people, really loved her! She took great care of him, and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Nikki was fantastic! She went above and beyond. When my shy guy wouldn’t come out she gave me a call and made sure everything was all good. I will be asking her to come back again in the future!”
“Connie was SO attentive to our kitty while we were away. With her extensive experience and knowledge from being a cat-parent herself, she sent us updates every time she came over and gave our kitty everything he needed while he was away. While he was happy we were home, I know he made a good friend in Connie and we will definitely book her again. 🥰”
“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!”
About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own! My Cocker Spaniel Willy has his own health issues, so if any extra special care is required for your pet, I’m your girl! I’m a full time registered nurse (RN) and only work 3 days a week! I am a Registered Nurse and only work 3 days a week! I am looking for ways to spend my days off, and I thought what better way than with animals!? I currently live in Biddeford and am available to travel to your home for any of your pets needs! I previously lived in Portland and work in Westbrook so I’m familiar with the area! Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!
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.
“Julie was great! Our kitty Ripley was happy and well taken care of! Julie did exactly what we needed and asked for. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday and not have to worry about if Ripley kitty was okay. Julie was easy to communicate with and checked in so we were sure all was well. We would absolutely reach out and trust Julie to check in on Ripley again. Thank you Julie!”
About: Hi! I’m Khaila, I provide warm, reliable care with a focus on making every pup feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I live in a cozy, dog-friendly home near the coast and love exploring local trails and parks. My Frenchie, Stuart, is a good boy who loves making new friends. I understand how important your dog is to your family, and when they’re with me, they’re part of mine too. 💛 I work from home most days and I perform better with a dog in my lap or at my feet ☺️ We’ll take breaks, walks, play at the local dog park, play at the beach, or hike local trails each day. When I’m visiting your home for care while you’re away, my focus is on playtime, walks, or just getting that energy out while ensuring your pets have all that they need. When they’re with my family, they’ll play hard, relax hard, and wag harder.
“Aimee was spectacular! Her communication and pics of Angus meant everything to me while I was away. She followed instructions and was rewarded by becoming part of Angus’s small circle of trust. Highly recommend 😻”
“Eva was awesome! She was super responsive and did a great job caring for our dog Otto. She made sure to keep us updated for her entire visit. We are so grateful for her help! We will definitely have Eva watch Otto again in the future.”
“I am so thankful to have found Nicole! She dropped in to feed and give potty breaks to our dog, Zeus, while we were out of state for a wedding. Nicole was so kind and caring when we met for a meet and greet, and made sure we were on the same page. We received pictures and updates, she was punctual, and communicated throughout the entire weekend. When we got home, Zeus was happy and comfortable. We will absolutely be reaching out to Nicole for any future sitter needs! Thank you, Nicole!”
About: I started pet sitting for family friends when I was 15 and fell in love with it. I have taken some dog behavioural classes if your dog needs help learning how to walk properly on a leash. I love all dogs but big dogs are my favorite. I love going on long walks and taking hikes so I'd love to bring your dog on a walk through the woods or to the beach. I additionally have experience taking care of some farm animals.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saco
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!
Sparrow is wonderful! They are very attentive to detail and as agreed made sure they arrived at the specified time and all tasks performed. They are very compassionate and clearly love being around animals. I could be assured that if there was a problem or issue they were unsure of they would bring it to my attention. I have terrible PTSD from another pet sitters grave mistake, but Sparrow helped put my mind at ease. You won’t be disappointed hiring Sparrow to take care of your beloved pets.
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.
Sirena was the absolute best at caring for my needy cat Rhea. She was always very clear in her communication and made sure I was kept up to date on how Rhea was doing. I don’t have the friendliest cat to others but Sirena took it in stride and I appreciate it. Highly recommend and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Saco on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,008 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
