“Kim was extremely communicative and excellent with my pets. I highly recommend her because she was professional and very kind. It's obvious that she loves animals.”

“The kitties have a great time when Erin comes. They get to play and she goes the extra mile to clean up and give me an update on their food intake and mood for the day. Thanks Erin!”

“Cassandra was amazing with Finn. The two of them instantly connected and I felt super comfortable with her taking care of him. I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone looking for a pet sitter. You can tell she is very passionate about her job!”

“Sarah was simply amazing!!! I can't say enough good things about her. She truly cared for our two kitties while we were away as if they were her own. It's so freeing to feel able to travel again knowing we have such a caring, reliable sitter. Will absolutely use Sarah's services again!”

About: I've always loved animals, particularly dogs. Animals respond well to me, and I have cared for many over the years. I treat every animal as if they are my own! Ever met that person who just randomly pulls over on the street to say hi to your pup? THAT'S ME! I work full time in the healthcare field, but can often modify my schedule. I routinely travel between Oakland and Gardiner ME for work, so traveling is not an issue. I like to be on the go! I also work part time with Animal Control in Sidney. Due to my other commitments, I do require that all of my furry clients be able to be left alone for at least 8 hours. Exceptions can be made for clients in my immediate vicinity, or if my schedule allows. Your wish is my command! Whatever you need simply ask! Whatever I can do to ease your mind and comfort your pet in your absence, i will do!
About: I have been caring for pets, both my own and for others for over 25 years! I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes and am able to administer medication and take extra special care of your sweet fur babies. I live with my 16 year old son and our Beagle, Nora, Silver Lab, Bowdoin, and our 2 cats, Pants and Boston. We promise to treat your pets just like we would treat our own, and shower them with lots of love and affection. I do work a full-time job as a social worker however my position allows an incredible amount of flexibility in my schedule. Your pet won't be home alone for very long as I am available to do check ins and bathroom breaks every 2 to 4 hours. Some days I am able to work from home and would be there all day. I do have a large crate at my house for dogs who feel more comfortable in one while no one is home. But also have a free-range policy where dogs are welcome to come and go as they please throughout the house as long as they are safe and comfortable. I have a very large yard that is not fenced, however I do have a run setup. I also live on a quiet country road which is perfect for walks. There are also many walking trails nearby that we frequent often. I do have 2 outdoor cats who don't spend much time in the house.
About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.
About: I am a huge animal lover! My husband and I chose fur babies over human babies and have a golden doodle, senior kitty, and two rescue buns! I have experience working with both senior and special needs pets. In addition to cats and dogs, I am also skilled with bunnies, birds, sheep, goats, and chicken. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I am currently working a full time remote job 9-5 Monday-Friday. I have ample weekend availability and can also assist with evening care on weekdays if needed. Please reach out for any scheduling questions! I love taking long walks and will take your dog as far as they need to go. I do also have experience with leash pulling and am happy to accommodate different harnesses that your pet prefers. I will not work with choke/shock collars as I do believe they do much more harm than good. If a drop in visit is needed, I will come to your home and spend as much time with your furry friends as needed! I can also assist with medication management and prescription diets.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and I typically volunteer once or twice a month at the animal shelter to care for the animals there. I’m also an avid hiker and love to take the dogs out with me so that they can get some outside time in the beautiful parks or trails around the area. As I work part-time, I have plenty of time to take care of animals during the weekday and weekend. From Tuesdays through Fridays, I’m typically available in the mornings before 10:30am and early evenings after 3pm. Saturdays through Mondays are my days off. I have an un-fenced yard and two other dogs in the home to keep your baby company. Both dogs are fixed and up to date on all shots. I personally have 3 very spoiled cats of my own who are also dog-friendly and up to date on all shots. Should you require your dogs to be crated during the night, that’s easily handled.
“Erin did great! Excellent communication, took great care of Bosco. An unexpected house accident happened (a window broke) and Erin handled it really well. Would definitely book again!”

“Maddie is super nice and super helpful, she sent nice pics and kept us up to date on how Percy was tolerating the heat and activity. Percy definitely enjoyed his time in Maddie’s care.”
About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, and more. I’ve worked in a veterinary office and previously ran my own daycare, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience with large and strong dogs, high-energy and working breeds, and multi-pet households. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple species, including exotics, and have a strong understanding of animal behavior and safety. I can recognize the difference between play, stress, and aggression, which helps keep your pets safe and comfortable at all times. Whether your pet needs exercise, structure, or calm companionship, I adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to send photo and message updates so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. Early mornings, afternoons, Saturdays for all services. Sundays I am available for boarding only at this time — I do my best to stay flexible for my clients! I care for your pet as you would want them cared for. I love taking pictures, it's up to you if I share them with everyone or just you!
“Nicole did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were on a work trip. She was communicative, kind, and sent plenty of pictures. We absolutely recommend her if you're looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s)! Thank you, Nicole!”

About: I provide compassionate care to all sorts of pets, ranging from dogs, cats, and other small critters. As a pet owner who has had all sorts of animals, I understand how difficult it could be to find a reliable pet sitter for your furry family members while you’re away, so I like to highlight my experience beyond our canine and feline friends 😊 I have volunteer experience providing foster homes for cats and kittens awaiting adoption. This included providing oral medication. My own rats have had to undergo tumor removal surgery, so I have experience providing post-op care with rats. I have provided Rover/pet sitting services in Colorado Springs and Los Angeles, so despite not having a lot of bookings on Rover, I come with references. Of course, I also have my own dog who keeps me on my toes while on walks and has allowed me to learn more about dog behavior and care. I was born and raised in LA, but lived in other states where I worked in a completely different field. I lived in Waterville for close to 5 years to attend college. I moved back here in April of 2026 and instead of continuing my line of work in psychology/criminal justice, I have decided to take a break from that to do what brings me joy - which is caring for animals in any way that I can. In other words, my time is all dedicated to your fur babies. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort once I’m with them, including the security of your home. I follow any instructions meticulously, like feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, etc., to ensure your pet’s well-being. I like to leave spaces as I have left them, if not cleaner, and ensure your pet does not have access to anything hazardous, especially if I must step away during our time together. I like to communicate with my clients daily to give them peace of mind while away from home.
“Emma was so great! Even though our kitties were a little wary of someone they didn’t know, she was patient and still spent time with them which we really appreciated! She was communicative and we loved seeing the photos and videos she sent. Highly recommend!”

“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”

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 .

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.
