“Max took wonderful care of our three cats! The detailed updates and photos gave us peace of mind, and we especially appreciated Max’s understanding of each cat’s unique personality and careful attention to making sure everyone was doing well!”
“Great first time experience with Melanie . She went out if her way to make Daisy and me comfortable with the drop in process. Not sure why a walk didn’t work but that’s fine, she usually lives walks but can get nervous of other dog s.”
About: I owned and operated a full-service petsitting company for over 23 years, and wish to continue providing quality and compassionate care to new furry friends! Experienced with meds, injections, wound care, etc. Vet reference gladly provided. Bonded & insured. I look forward to caring for your pets and providing you peace of mind when you are away. Birds, cats, dogs, fish all welcome! Since my beloved Seymour passed away, I am now able to housesit and keep the occasional furry guest in my home. Dogs would get out for walks/yard time every few hours; cat box cleaned ditto. Feeding, play and light grooming throughout the day and evening as you specify. I work part-time in Camden, but am able to take dogs to work with me, where there is a big yard and plenty of potty break and play space. Typical visits prioritize potty needs, feeding/medicating and petting and play. Hanging out fun, too! I treat your pets as if they were my own. I let them set the parameters for play, touch and exercise. Bonding usually happens quickly!
About: I believe happy dogs need lots of love and exercise. For all that dogs give us, we owe them a good life. I had the privilege to care for my sweet girl for 11 years. I’ve experienced and cherished the effort and reward of having a companion that would do anything for you. In return, I do everything I can to make sure we are giving dogs the life they deserve. I’d love to help you give your pup the life you know they want; one full of fun walks, adventures, healthy treats and positive training. I completed the Sirius dog training course to work with my dog and would love to share some of my passion for teaching with you and your dog! My house is surrounded by miles of trails but is still close to downtown. Your dog is sure to be tired, happy and relaxed after spending time with me! I am adept at senior care and giving medications. Early morning, or late nights . I believe in making sure your dog gets plenty of sniffing and exploring done, that meds are given at the same time, and that ear scratching and belly rubs are non-negotiable. Rain or shine. I have a flexible schedule, so anything works for me as long as I have enough notice. Everything I know about dog behavior and special care comes from the dog I adopted and cared for 11 years. My sweet girl was a high demand dog. She was a nervous baby from the shelter and had Cushings disease. She lived a long healthy life that required a lot of understanding and specific consideration of environment, dog psychology, and care. I'm always cognizant of potential mishaps, whether that's another dog that stares too long from a distance or a trail of goldfish crackers, I make sure your dog is safe and feels good in my care. I work hard to build trust with every animal I meet. I let them take the lead (metaphorically!) and make sure we are always progressing and adjusting depending on temperament, personality, and the multitude of signals that dogs are giving us all the time and are so often misunderstood. After every walk I do thorough tick checks. I follow directions to the T and always have extra poop bags.
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my two shy kitties! I warned her that she’d probably only see them under the bed, but she sent photos of them out and about and bugging her for attention. I would definitely book again with her.”
“Honestly- I don't know what we would do without Liseli. We hate leaving our anxious and sweet old dog Elvis. Liseli puts our minds at ease and when we mention her name to Elvis he definitely perks up- looking forward to each visit!!”
About: I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycares in the last few years where we did boarding. I’ve also worked in a cat boarding facility and have worked at pet stores for about 5-6 years. I was trusted with cleaning up after and giving medications to pets that needed it. I’m currently working part time in Freeport so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets and spend time with them and take them on walks depending on weather. I live in a wooded area with access to tie outs so your pets and I could sit outside on good days and play. I have an extra room in the house where I can easily board your pet but would require you to bring a crate if they’re crate trained depending on the size of the pet. I do have two crates available that I could use if you’re unable to bring their crate. I have 2 cats in the household along with my fiance so they would have to be cat and man friendly.
“Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thomaston
Melanie was amazing taking care of our animals while we were gone for a few days. My cat takes medicine 2x a day and I did not have to worry for a second if he got it or not. She went above and beyond with updates and photos and it is such a piece of mind while we were not there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Thomaston is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 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 111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thomaston. 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 Thomaston. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
