Bethany truly went above and beyond for a last-minute drop-in after a schedule change kept us out of town overnight. Not only were our pets taken care of as asked, but they were played with, loved on, and our home was left better than we left it - with dishes and feeding mats washed and cleaned and litter boxes checked and attended to. We were truly blown away and so grateful after a long day. We feel completely confident in this sitter’s abilities and will absolutely be return clients.

I can not put into words how much I appreciate Cheyenne for all that she does. Simply the best. There was no doubt Chey would become my go to after the first pet sit, and she fails to disappoint again. Maceo adores her as do I. Thank you again Chey!

So glad that Anna was available for drop in visits. She did a very good job of taking care of the needs of my two cats over a span of several weeks. Anna is pleasant and conscientious. and the kittens miss her. I look forward to calling on her again when needed.

Katie was amazing! She was communicative and very kind. It was our first time using a sitter through Rover and we were not disappointed. Katie was friendly and accommodated all our needs. For the first time, I could say that we vacationed stress and worry-free. Our babies were in great hands. We have a cat and dogs and she catered to their needs very well especially since my Lion (dog) needs extra love when we are away during 4th of July weekend! I highly recommend her and will be looking forward to having her back. 💗

Jill was amazing. I contacted her at the last minute and hired her sight unseen based on her reviews. My puppy Charli is everything to us and I am SO excited as I feel we hit the jackpot having found her!!! I have peace of mind knowing if I need to be away from Charli, Jill is the perfect fill in for Mommie?

Kailah has been great with my dogs! I have 2 rescues who are super nervous around new people. This was our 3rd time booking with Kailah, she has been super patient and they are starting to warm up to her. I would recommend Kailah and will definitely be using her services again.

Steph was soo amazing and such a sweetheart with my dogs. My Bella is weary of people but warmed up to Steph extremely fast. Her updates and photos of our dogs during her visits made it all the more heartwarming and comforting knowing they’re in good hands. Definitely highly recommend and will be coming back when needed. Thank you again for being so wonderful! 🤍💕

About: What started as a personal challenge—overcoming my childhood fear of dogs—became a journey of love. By volunteering with service dogs, I discovered my passion for all kinds of dogs, big and small. Now, I bring that same warmth and dedication to caring for your pet. My Schedule is Flexible, Reliable, and Full of Love for Your Fur Babies! I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Most weekdays are wide open for visits, playtime, or overnight stays. Whatever your furry family member needs to feel happy, safe, and loved-i'm your sitter! Anxious or rambunctious, I'm patient and caring. Let’s make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve!

About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.

About: When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon! I’m currently a fully remote student so I am fully available. If I board a pet I will be with them full time to make sure they receive the care they deserve. I have a fenced in front yard, and a good amount of unfenced land in the back. My dog is very friendly and would keep your pet great company. He loves dogs and cats. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kaylee for our dog Nikko while we were away for two weeks. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure he was not only cared for, but truly loved and engaged. Kaylee spent extra time with Nikko, took him on car rides (which he loves!), and made sure he had both fun and comfort while we were gone. It was clear from the photos and updates—and even more so when we returned—that he really enjoyed his time with her. She treated Nikko like her own, and that kind of care is priceless. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Kaylee and would absolutely book with her again!

Elizabeth did an amazing job at the very last minute when I asked her to watch our newly adopted seven month old lab mixed puppy, Rocky. She even had to make a couple of late night visits, to make sure Rocky was going to be able to make it through the night. And then turned around early in the morning to let them out and let him stretch his legs. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am that Elizabeth allowed me to relax while we fulfilled commitment we had made prior to adopting a puppy! We will definitely be asking her, and her sweet son, to visit Rocky and give him some more loving.

Ashley was an excellent sitter and visited our 3 cats, at our home, over Christmas! Excellent communicator and took great care of our pets (including one with special dietary needs). Our house is in the same condition as we left it and our cats are stressed free and happy. Thank you for taking such good care of them and taking time to play and send photos!

Robin is simply amazing. Takes her time to learn each of my dogs individual needs. Accepts when I have a visiting dog and understands need to separate and monitor behaviors. She makes life manageable. Also appreciate that she is able to say No when it just won't work. Gives the confidence she is prioritizing what is best for all her clients and herself.

Amazing care for my dad’s elderly, blind, coned dog. Priscilla was caring, thoughtful, and made sure our Rosie was well cared for even though she was in a stressful situation. 10/10 would recommend her any day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Thomaston on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,643 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Thomaston. 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 Thomaston 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.

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 Thomaston 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Thomaston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thomaston. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
