“Katie was great with our 2 dogs. She knows her stuff when it comes to dog care. We were so comfortable with leaving the house and dogs in her care. Our girls are old and settled in their ways, but they loved her and Freya.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We have an anxious puppy and weren’t sure how it would go. Jessica made several house visits ahead of time so Nieva could get to know her. Nieva was excited to see her and sad when her new friend left. We’ll definitely be using her in the future. I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands.”
“Liz took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were traveling out of state. She stayed at our house with them for almost a week and proactively communicated with us the whole time. We’ll use her again for sure!”
About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. Winter rates are now $250/day for basic overnights, includes 3 pets. Will adjust include extra rates accordingly to animals and household needs. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.
“Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!”
“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like my own—with personalized care, plenty of attention, and a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m not just stopping by to check a box; I’m here to give your pets genuine companionship and give you peace of mind. I’m self-employed, splitting my time between running my creative business from home and nannying, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to plan my days around pet care. This allows me to accommodate drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays while still giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I primarily care for pets in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable! I love keeping their routines as normal as possible while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight care when needed, so both pets and their owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I volunteered at a dog shelter in Mexico for 3 weeks last spring.i love fostering kittens and helping animals. I’ve had 10 goats, 2 dogs, 2 cats, lots of chickens, and 2 cows in my little dead end in Belfast. I’ve been helping house sit and take care of friends animals for 10 years and I’d love to come meet your furry friends! I am 20 years old and currently exploring the world and what I want to do in the future but while I’m home my schedule is super flexible! I go on long walks everyday anyway and I would love you bring your fur baby with me. I am very responsible and you can count on me to take great care of you pets.
About: Passionate about animals. Worked at the MSPCA as a volunteer. Have had dogs my whole life! Love walking and playing with dogs! Will go the extra mile to help dogs in need. I am lenient with my schedule so I will be able to have more time for dogs. I love spending one on one time with dogs/ animals. My cats are dog friendly as long as your dog is cat friendly. I do have pet hamsters but they are roomed in another room that dogs will not be allowed in. I live with my boyfriend who loves dogs as well and will spend time with them as well. I hope that you’ve will let me watch and take care of your dog! Thank you!
About: Hi, I'm Chelsea! I have many years of multi-animal experience, ranging from cats and dogs to fish and horses. If you have it, I'll care for it! I have the most experience in cats and dogs, having been a lifelong owner of both. I believe every animal is good, and using positive reinforcement techniques whenever necessary. I have experience administering medication! While I am working part time, I have flexibility in my schedule. With that being said, I can accommodate and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their home or provide drop-in visits- please contact me for more information. I am more than happy to provide services to your pet in the form of drop-in, walking, or housesitting at this time! Let's connect to discuss how I can best fit your pet's needs- I accommodate to their daily routine and what works best in your home.
“Tanya was like having family watch our fur babies! She even went above and beyond and helped my wife out who’s a wheelchair user! We’re camping and she even started a fire to keep my wife (who’s not easy to manage 😅😂) warm!!! 1000% recommend her! When I got home my dogs slept like a rock haha! I know who I’m calling we’re ever back in Maine!!! It’s never easy leaving your dogs wirh a stranger but I knew instantly they were in great hands 😍. Tanya is an absolute profesional and my dogs LOVED her! Doesn’t get much better!”
“Our little dog was in the best of hands with Jessica. She kept us updated with how he was doing, stayed attentive to his needs throughout the weekend, and offered a safe, comfortable indoor and outdoor space to explore. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 15 years personal experience with large, high energy dogs. I have cared for puppies, and elderly dogs and cats, and toy size dogs. I work 12-4 M-F and can make mid day visits for potty breaks depending on distance from me. Outside of that, my schedule is open for anything your pet needs. I can care for your pet in whatever way you need and with whatever your home is equipped with. I am okay with leashed potty breaks, changing floor pads, or anything in between.
“Kirk is incredible and we are already brainstorming reasons to have him pet sit :P He takes such good care and consideration of the pet’s needs. I saw how the other pets looked up to him for safety and comfort. He took great care of our anxious girl. Thanks Kirk!”
“Jazlynne is wonderful! She gave us lots of updates and pictures- and as first time users of this app made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. It’s easy to tell she genuinely loves animals. I would ask her to care for our dog again in a heartbeat!”
“Beth is fantastic! We were away for more than a week and she stayed with our cat (a sometimes challenging cat!), and he was incredibly cared for. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely have her care for our kitty again should the need arise. I can’t recommend Beth highly enough.”
“Charlotte was wonderful with Sunny! So loving and attentive. Charlotte also communicated several times a day with us and showed us pictures of Sunny having a great time. Charlotte is very responsible and trustworthy. She took care of our four month old puppy for nine days in a row and had consistent care and energy throughout the long job of taking care of him! We will definitely rebook with Charlotte, she is a godsend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stockton Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 143 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stockton Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Stockton Springs 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 Stockton Springs 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.
Tip: 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 Stockton Springs 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
