House Sitting Waterboro

“Abigail was a fantastic pet sitter at my home for 4 days. She was great at communicating with me and keeping me up to date on my three dogs. She was professional and respectful of my home and my pets' needs. I recommend her as the best pet caretaker on Rover!”

“Sidney did a wonderful job sitting for us and our 3 small dogs for 4 nights. We hope she is available every time we need a pet sitter. She provided photos every day and there were no issues the entire time. Thanks again Sydney!”

“Tony is very diligent and did a great job looking after the dogs. He always responded quickly to communication. And he left the house spotless.”

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.

“Catherine was wonderful with my dogs and cat. She was very attentive and gave them lots of attention. Would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend Catherine!!!”

“Lori went the extra mile to ensure that our boy Monty was well cared for while we were away. She even sent us several photos so we wouldn’t worry about him and made an extra trip to the house to be sure that the temperature was comfortable for him.”

About: I’m a school nurse, and animal lover looking to make some extra money this summer. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish and horses. I currently live in Arundel, Maine and have a French bulldog, and two cats. I would love to help take care of your cherished, furry family members. I’m available for daily walks, feeding, and overnight sitting in your home. I have availability this summer through out the weekdays, and some weekends available for pet sitting. I will be diligent in following your care instructions and schedule for your pets to provide them kind, compassionate care. This should help to keep them calm, and still have normalcy and fun while you are away.

“Alyssa was wonderful! She took such great care of Boozie and was incredibly caring, attentive, and detail-oriented. She gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely use Alyssa again an highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”

About: I have had a deep love for animals since I was a young child. Growing up I have always had at least one pet in my house, but when I was 7 I started actively taking care of them, which only increased my adoration for them. Whenever I am with animals I treat them with the philosophy that they give us nothing but love, and it is up to us to make sure they get that unconditional love back. I have watched dogs who were sick and required attentive and medicinal care, and I also have watched a dog and her newborn puppies. I am looking forward to expanding the dogs I know and hope I can show your animals the love they deserve in your absence! I'm very flexible with scheduling! When it comes to planning, I am willing to do both sporadic watching and walking or set weekly schedules. I am here to work for the schedule and needs of you and your pets! I know that each pet has specific needs and particulars, so I am willing to do what works best for them. Their comfortability comes first!

“Tara watched our rambunctious dog Wes for four nights at our home and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. She bonded instantly with him (which says quite a lot actually for our dog), was in touch every day with updates, and improvised on food when some of his food ran out. TRa also discovered a broken nail and was prepared to take time off from work to take Wes to the vet, although we elected to wait and see. She was professional and caring, everything you could ask for in a pet sitter. I would recommend her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I tailor every experience to your pup’s unique energy, boundaries, and personality. Providing dog walking and house-sitting services since 2017, alongside a lifetime of loving animals, I bring both experienced reliability and an attentive care to every visit. Whether we are exploring new trails, going on a neighborhood sniffari, or enjoying time at home, I pay attention to body language so play, rest, and snuggles always happen on your dog’s terms. I am passionate about collaborating with pet parents to maintain training and routine that keeps your pup safe, happy, and fulfilled.When I'm not on the job, you can find me "borrowing" my colleagues' dogs just to squeeze in an extra adventure! Working on a part-time schedule gives me flexibility throughout the day for routine drop-ins, feedings, medication schedules, and play sessions. I’m also available for occasional overnight stays to keep your pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment while you're away. I provide care in your home, which keeps your pets in their most comfortable, familiar environment. I treat your home with respect, following all household security routines and leaving your space clean and tidy. During every drop-in or overnight stay, I follow your care instructions, maintain training, medication, and meal routines, and closely monitor your pet's safety and well-being. Plus, you can always expect picture updates so you have full peace of mind while away!

“Elizabeth watched our two pups from Thurs - Sun. She handled all aspects of in-home pet care and even administered daily meds for our older dog. The house was neat upon our arrival which is appreciated. She did a great job with them and communicated regularly via Rover text. We hope to use her services again in the future.”

About: Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the household (boxers, a lab/pitbull mix, aussies, and even a chihuahua). Going to school in Boston, my roommates and I dog walked one dog daily and dog sat for a total of 4 others. Moving up to the seacoast area, I have begun volunteering (walking, fostering, and assisting with events) for a local shelter in my free time. This has included puppies as young as 2 months to larger mature dogs for anywhere from a sleepover to as long as 2 weeks. I work full time Monday through Friday but have some flexibility with my hours. Outside of work I stay very active but I am eager to work some dog time into my schedule. I cannot have dogs at my residence due to rental requirements but am happy to take dogs on walks/adventures and dog sit wether that be for a few hours or days at the dog’s/client’s home.

“Brittany was wonderful with our dog, Maggie! We threw Brittany a little curveball when Maggie’s electric fence collar stopped charging properly, but Brittany was communicative, prompt, and thorough in helping us troubleshoot from hundreds of miles away. She kept our house better than we left it during her overnight stay. We’d love to have her back!”

“I booked Aria after another Rover person canceled on me 5 days before my trip. Aria came over the next day to review logistics and household logistics and let the house key. She cared for my dog very well, including cooking rice to add to his low-fat diet. She left the house in good shape. She went the extra mile and seemed to genuinely like being at my house where she could work from home and have nice places to walk. I hope to use Aria again.”

“Nova (our dog) LOVES Kara it's so sweet. She waits at the door for her on the days Kara comes to help. Always on time, amazing communication, and fully trustworthy. Really a gift for us to have found Kara's help!”

About: Along with always owning animals, I have provided pet sitting services for many family, friends, and coworkers over the years. Not only am I able to ensure pets are well cared for, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have also been employed as a field biologist and have experience handling and caring for wild animals. I am always excited to further develop my pet-caring skills! I recently returned from hiking the Appalachian Trail and am looking for some flexible and part-time work to ease my transition back into the work force. I currently have full availability and am eager to meet new pet owners and their furry friends! In addition to pet sitting services, I have also provided house sitting over the years and will treat you and your pets space with consideration and respect. I always try to act casually in a space to help animals feel more comfortable with my presence, while still respecting the boundaries and instructions of pet parents.

About: I am a lover of animals who prioritizes their, safety, health & happiness. I have years of experiencing sitting for and walking dogs and taking care of cats. I've worked with dogs with health-related medication needs, including insulin shots, rescues who take a little time to get used to someone new, and excitable puppies. I enjoy my time with animals -- they make me feel peaceful and energized, so, taking care of them is a win-win! I am always careful to follow any instructions provided around details of care -- feeding, walking, preferences around behavior or routine, let me know -- I'm here to help put you at ease while you're away from your pet. I work full-time during on weekdays in Boston starting in the afternoons, so while I am available weekday mornings, it would be more for jobs before 10am to leave time for my commute. Weekends I usually have a lot of flexibility & I'll do my best to get back to you quickly.

“Aiden was amazing, above and beyond house/dog sitter with our senior high maintenance dog with medical issues. We felt so secure knowing he was in good hands and were able to relax and enjoy our getaway. We would use his services again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was just a kid. You can count on me to make sure that your pup is well cared for and loved while we watch them. I have open availability and will be around. I will communicate with you should I need to step out for a moment for any reason. I have a dog of our own named Cap who is a lab/hound mix and four short hair cats (Anri, Mori, JoJo, and Astora). All of my pets have been fixed. When watching your pets I will ensure their safety and make sure that they are well cared for.
