About: I have worked as a dog groomer and have volunteered at shelters. Every animal should be treated with respect and kindness. Grooming and volunteering helped also in getting familiar with signs that a dog might be in distress. I work a full time job during the week but my afternoons are free. I also am always home on the weekends so doing this on the weekends would be perfect. I love all pets but sadly I am allergic to most cats. Dogs on the other hand can roam around my residence freely. Which includes beds, as long as they are comfortable and safe I can accommodate to any breed.
About: I provide attentive, loving care to animals while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, walking, playtime, administering medication if needed, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I understand how important it is to maintain routines and build trust with each animal, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their people. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I enjoy early and after work walks, scheduled feedings, and making time each day to give pets the attention they deserve. I am currently a bather and groomer at Petsmart. I care for pets in their home by feeding them at scheduled times, taking dogs on daily walks, cleaning litter boxes or cages, refreshing water bowls, giving medications as directed, and spending quality time playing, grooming, or just keeping them company to ease separation anxiety. I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s usual routine and comfort.
“So glad I found Tara to watch my 6-month old pup for the day while I needed to travel to a meeting. As a mostly work from home dog mom, I was nervous about leaving my boy with someone new for the first time. Tara put me (and my Murphy) at ease! I came home from my meeting and he was as content as can be. We will definitely be using Tara again!”
About: My schedule is very specific working around work shifts! I’m very communicative and we can work something out that is best for both of us!! I have both personal and professional experience with cats and dogs. I’ve worked with dogs during my time at Essex Tech. I have also have basic experiences with small animals such as rabbits, birds, and reptiles. During my time there I learned the basics of training, grooming and overall behavior. This all led me to have a better grasp at caring for dogs and what their needs are. I have my own cat named Fasa and a dog named Summer, so I have personal experience with them! He’s the buff kitty in my photos! I have also worked at a doggy daycare located in Salem called Walk A Pup where they strive to provide a safe and enriching environment for the dogs in their care. During those six months, I not only walked dogs but also did basic obedience and evening check-ins at client's homes. I was also briefly a bather at Petsmart where watching behavior is a big aspect. Currently I work there caring for the animals we sell. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. Working part-time fills in a lot of my time and my schedule is often on a week-by-week basis. My availability varies, so it’s best for you to just message me to find out if my schedule works with yours! I know leaving your pet to a stranger is very nerve-wracking and scary. However, I like to reassure you that because of my experience, I am equipped to make sure that your pet has the care they need while you are away for work, vacation, or any other situation. I am more than happy to update you as many times are you need me to. I am also certified in Pet CPR and First aid and have a car that allows me to drive your pet somewhere if something were to happen.
“Sienna has been an amazing pet sitter! Each day she would check in and send us the cutest pictures of our three cats. She was quick to respond to our messages, took excellent care of our boys, and even picked up a mess our kitten caused. We would love to use Sienna’s services again in the future!”
“Karen was great and offered a play date instead of the drop in I requested so I had the added comfort of knowing Winnie was also having a fun day and in good hands while I was away. She was so tired when she got home she must have had a great time! Thanks again!”
“Absolutely amazing. She's watched my dog three times now just once a week. My pup is super shy, but Laura has been very patient and understanding. She's also just super nice and always gives great feedback about the visit. My pup is in good hands with her. Definitely recommend her!”

About: I grew up with lots of cats and dogs as a kid and became experienced with taking care of them at a young age. I love playing with and taking care of pets and I'm good at reading their body language and trying to understand what an animal wants and needs. I work freelance remotely so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to check on and care for your pets. I have a reliable car and have no problem coming to your home to care for your pet. I have experience with both cats and dogs and I know how to read their body language and respond to whatever it is that they need.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals — usually 3 or 4 dogs, several cats, 12 horses, 4 goats, and a flock of chickens at any given time! I’m completely comfortable around all types of animals and love caring for them. I’m a huge pet person with two wonderful dogs of my own — Dory, age 5, and her mom, Hattie, age 13! I work fully remote as a travel agent, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m trustworthy, responsible, and always follow instructions carefully to ensure your pet stays safe, happy, and healthy! :) I board my parents’ dogs every year between January and March and have been doing so for the past four years. I live in a two-story home with stairs and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and relax safely.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in South Berwick is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $42 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 993 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Berwick. 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 South Berwick. On Rover:
- 89% 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 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.
