“It was our first time using Rover, and Hannah was such a good choice! Our two kitties seemed to get comfortable with her really quickly and were so well taken care of! Hannah was very detailed in her notes for each visit and sent many pictures where we could see that our babies were cared for and having fun. We will definitely book her again when we're out of town!”
“Chelsea was amazing! She took such great care of our cats and gave great updates. One of our cats usually gets really stressed when we’re away, but he was so happy and relaxed this time with her checking in. I’m so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”
“She has been wonderful!! Always on time and our dog adores her! Even offered to stay later to make sure he got the chance to potty again before leaving. No complaints! Thank you for the help Amber 😁”
“Kendall helped us out on short notice today when our regular dog sitters weren’t available,and gave updates on our dogs after each visit. She was prompt and we are thankful for her help!”
“Isabel was wonderful and saved me on such short notice. Fed my dog, let him out, treated him, gave him love and petting. Sent me updates and pics of all of her visits! Highly recommended!”
“Teagan was awesome! She was available pretty last minute. She still came and met the pups before our trip. She worked around her schedule and ours. She kept the house cleaned up which is huge for me! And she helped water flowers while we were gone along with taking great care of our 4 pups!”
About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m Krystal, and I’ve been providing in-home pet care for over 13 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households, including senior pets and those requiring medication or more structured routines. After caring for my own senior dogs, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe, capable hands while you’re away. I aim to provide dependable, in-home care that keeps your pets comfortable, calm, and cared for in their own environment. I’m also available for recurring weekday drop-ins for pets who benefit from consistency while their owners are at work. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I structure my days around the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I maintain a consistent daytime schedule for client visits, errands, and recurring drop-ins, similar to a standard workday. For house sitting, this means your pet may be alone for short periods during the day while I attend to other scheduled visits, but I plan my time to ensure they receive regular care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also offer complimentary meet and greets in advance so we can connect, review your pet’s routine, and make sure it’s a good fit before your booking begins! I do not board pets in my own home at this time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and environment to help reduce stress while you're away. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter care, playtime, and any preferences that help your pet feel comfortable. I also make sure they have access to their favorite toys, treats, and familiar comfort items throughout my visits or stay. For dogs, I’m happy to reinforce any training commands or routines owners are currently working on to help maintain consistency. My goal is to provide attentive, in-home care that helps your pet feel safe and secure in their own space until you return, whether through house sitting or drop-in visits!
“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”
About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve loved every second of it. Dogs bring so much happiness into our lives, and I truly believe they deserve the best care and attention possible. I know it can be tough for pups when their family is away, so my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re gone. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for every step of the way. I’m a junior in college and currently help train and socialize service dogs in training, so I’m very comfortable reading dog behavior and making sure each pup gets what they need. I’m also great with watching more than one dog at a time and love giving them all the attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at Miami University, and pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my breaks when I’m home from school! Since I’m not too busy during those times—especially over winter break—I have plenty of time to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve. I may take a short trip to visit family here and there, but I’ll always make sure your dog is fully cared for and happy while you’re away. Spending time with dogs truly brightens my days, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I always make sure to follow your expectations and routines because every dog is unique, and what matters most to me is caring for your pup the way you would. I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule, give plenty of potty breaks, and keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m also experienced with giving medication and handling basic medical care if needed. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at ease while they’re with me at your home (I will not be doing care in my home).
“Abigail did an outstanding job during her drop-in visit with our two pups. Since it was her first time caring for them, we especially appreciated how punctual, communicative, and attentive she was. She spent quality time with them, made sure they got some exercise, and ensured they took care of their potty break. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. We were very pleased with her service and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommended!”

Nancy is the only person I trust to take care of my old man puppy boy while we are away. Nancy genuinely cares about our animals and goes above and beyond every time we book her. She is very communicative and flexible. Last January, we were out of town in the middle of a snow storm and Nancy made sure our dog was still taken care of even though it was difficult for her to even get to our house. She even communicated with our neighbors so that our dog would be taken care of even if she couldn't make it there in the bad weather. During this trip, we had very little cell phone service, but I wasn't worried about our animals at all, because I knew Nancy had everything covered. If you are looking for a trustworthy person who genuinely cares about your animals, Nancy is your person.
Taylor is AMAZING! She sat my two large pups for 4 days, was very sweet to them, attentive, and showered them with affection while I was away. I LOVED the pictures sent by Taylor during each drop-in and the detailed notes she made on how my pups were doing. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Taylor. Your pets will be in excellent, caring hands!

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 Waterville 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 Waterville 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 .

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.

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.
