“Thomas took wonderful care of my fur family while I was out of state for three days. He provided regular updates and was considerate of their routine. I felt very at easy with them in his care and will rebook in the future!”
“She was amazing with our wild pups! She was also flexible with our last minute needs. I highly recommend! She will treat your pets like her own and keeps you updated while you are away!”
“Stesha is a genuinely incredible person and sitter. We had a last minute trip out of the country and she literally got to us days before we left and provided such love and care and kindness for our little ones. Our dog is an anxious guy and Stesha treated him so kindly and gently, as was her treatment of our cat. We would absolutely be working with her again. 10/10.”
“Kristopher watched our 9-year-old pug and 3-year-old Great Pyrenees for four days while we were out of town, and we were extremely happy that we hired him. We will definitely be asking him to pet sit for us again! This was our first time having someone from Rover stay in our home with our dogs, so naturally we were a little unsure of what to expect, but the experience turned out great. Kristopher was very reliable and communicated with us regularly, sending photos and updates about how the dogs were doing. His communication was clear and consistent, which we really appreciated and made it easy for us to relax while we were away. Kristopher followed all of the instructions we left for him and took great care of both dogs. When we returned home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been very well cared for. We would be happy to have him back in our house helping with our dogs again during our next trip.”
About: I worked for a boarding facility throughout high school and college. As an adult I volunteered with local shelters and fostered cats. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, I rushed down to start rescuing animals which I did for 2 months. It was a life changing event which led me to enroll in a veterinary technician program. I graduated with a degree in Colorado and continued working in the field of animal rescue. During my program I worked for a local shelter, doggy daycare and volunteered with the local Street Cat Coalition performing TNR. After Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, I went down to rescue animals and ended up working for Austin Pets Alive as a veterinary technician caring for over 300 cats and dogs. Since that time I have been fostering hospice cats. My last foster was a 20 year old with end stage kidney disease. I was able to care for her for 11 months. I have also fostered cancer and diabetic kitties and have 20 years experience working with Alaskan huskies. Although I am not working in the veterinary field, I have maintained my license with continuing education. Since relocating to Maine this summer I have decided to get my animal fix by joining Rover. I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were mine. I currently work full time with some flexibility to be able to work from home. I have weekends off which allows me to care for pets on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in backyard/deck area and access to open space and trails within walking distance of my home. I love to walk and it's always better with a dog or two! I take great care of others homes and will follow whatever instructions they have for their pets.
“Greta went above and beyond for our pets. Our plans changed between the time that we booked and the time that we left- we ended up asking a lot more of Greta than we had hoped/planned, but she went above and beyond to meet the needs of a sick pet. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Cassidy, and caring for animals is something I truly love. With 5+ years of pet-sitting experience and professional experience at Bear Brook Kennels, I’ve had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals and gain hands-on experience with pets of many different breeds, personalities, temperaments, and needs. At Bear Brook Kennels, I cared for dogs, cats, and exotic animals, learning how important it is to understand each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ve also had experience caring for police K9s while they were boarded, which gave me the opportunity to work around highly trained working dogs and taught me the importance of following specific care instructions, routines, and handling requirements. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets who needed everything from daily walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship to extra patience, attention, medication administration and individualized care. I’m comfortable working with energetic pups, senior pets, shy or nervous animals, and pets who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and affection I’d want for my own. I also have a friendly personal pup who can tag along for visits or stays if you’d like your pet to have a furry friend! If your pet prefers one-on-one attention, I’m just as happy to leave my pup at home. Your pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. And I’d be honored to care for them! 🐶🐱 I’m currently working at a kennel, where I’m gaining even more hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals. My schedule is already fairly flexible, and starting in mid-October, my availability will open up significantly. I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, drop-ins, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine and needs! 🐾❤️ I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. With 5+ years of pet-sitting experience and professional experience at Bear Brook Kennels, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of breeds, personalities, temperaments, and needs. I always take the time to learn each pet’s individual routine and follow their care instructions closely. I’ve also been researching dog behavior and training techniques and plan to shadow local trainers in the area so I can continue learning and better understand the dogs in my care. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, supervised, and loved while they’re with me.

I care for my animals everyday and want to care for others as well! I treat every animal and home with the upmost of respect. I want to treat every animal the way I would want mine treated. I love every animal so when they are in my care they are in great care.
About: I am pet owner since 9 years old (dogs, cats, hamsters and birds) . Also I am a veterinarian (graduated in 2019) because of that I have the training not only to take care of healthy pets but to be able to help some pets with special needs (medication or vitals control) I worked for Umaine. Some days at home, someday at the office. That gives me the opportunity to manage my schedule and be ready to help I am used to live with animals so I’m good at keeping the cat littler or the cages clean all the time .

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Veazie
Glendon is obviously a figment of my imagination. I never leave my 17-year-old Teddy behind because he is my little world. It would take an exceptional person to meet my criteria, one whom I imagine to be caring and kind, one who would treat my dog like their own, who would be patient and have a sense of humor about the foibles of an old, spoiled dog. I’ve always imagined that person would be the only kind who could convince me to leave Teddy behind. A family medical emergency arose last week and I was needed to go help care for my grandchildren on a trip to Houston. Panic set in. What about Teddy?? I was desperate so I checked out two pet sitter sites. Rover and another. The other never followed up on my request. Rover brought me Glendon, the top sitter on the list. At the end of the lengthy meet and greet, I was actually anxious to have this guy take care of Teddy! And he turned out to be even better than I imagined. He stayed in frequent contact, sent me many photos and videos, managed to make my nervous dog calm and content. He met my changing needs by coming earlier than planned. When we got bumped from our flight home, he turned around in a snowstorm and returned to my house for an extra night so Teddy wouldn’t be alone and I wouldn’t have cause to worry. I can’t say enough good about Glendon, both as a person and as a dog lover. He’s the best. You will never regret hiring him!

The average cost of House Sitting in Veazie is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $77 per night. 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.

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 Veazie 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 Veazie 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Veazie 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
