About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m a former nurse and now a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion extends to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care. As someone who is home throughout the day, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are things I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets the time, consistency, and care they deserve while they’re with me I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, energy level, and routine
“Erin did an amazing job providing a week of drop-in visits for my six cats. I received daily updates and photos. She took the time to look for any cats that were hiding as well as played with the ones that came out to see her. When we got home, there were no messes or litter cleanup to deal with. I would highly recommend her and hope to use her again!”
“I’ll be booking Samantha every time I go out of town from here on out! I had to book a cat sitter last minute and she fit me right into her schedule and was such a pleasure to have look after my sweet girl! She sent me updates daily with lots of pictures that really put my mind at ease while away from home. 10/10 recommend her services!!”
“Autumn is an amazing Rover. She is on time, very patient, and has great communication skills. Once again did so well with our rescue dog, who is still learning how to live a normal doggie life. Very happy to have found Autumn & recommend to anyone.”
About: Im reliable and there for you when no one else is. Ill be there faster than police if you call me and can take last minute calls! I am a nurse (for humans) so dont worry about injections or medicines! I have all the time in the world to come play with your pups/cats as you need! I am almost always available and can take last minute calls if I'm in town. I can adapt to how you do things in your home! Whatever you need will be done. I can take your pups out for a walk and play after or take them to the park. Whatever your goals are.
“Jess was fantastic. The meet & greet went so well and we knew Anubis (our doggo) would feel safe with her. During the visit she was very well with updates and sending pictures. I'm very nervous leaving my baby with anyone, Jess constantly madee feel secure with how well she is with communication! She worked with my dog on some of his needed areas (focus, sitting and staying etc) which was so helpful. They went to the park and apparently he had so much fun he slept so well lol. We really like Jess! We are excited to have Jess do more drop one for us!”
“Natalie was great! Kept great communication before and during her visits. Really grateful she was able to check on the cats and the house for us!! Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!”
“George and his wife were wonderful! They took great care of my cat and kept me up to date with anything going on. They even stopped by to bring packages in. Will be using them again.”
“Stephanie was fantastic with our dog. Her messages are detailed and she is very responsive. Our dog was having some issues with her paws and she took great care of her. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
About: A life long animal lover, I've had a variety of pets throughout the past twenty years. I have cared for, trained and loved horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rabbits and rodents. I majored in Biology in college and took several animal science classes. I was a horseback riding instructor for summer camp in college, and have volunteered with different animal rescue orgs over the years. I currently work from home which gives me increased flexibility to provide care and attention to your pets. I enjoy getting out during the day to go for walks or romps around the yard to get some fresh air and exercise. I will treat your pet as I do my own, with kindness, compassion and lots of love. I have a fenced in yard and also will take the pets for a daily walk (dogs) to give them a change of scenery and additional exercise. I do have a 6 month pup that loves all animals and will be a great playmate. I also will provide regular updates and pictures for those clients who desire them.
“Kami did a great job taking care of my older tuxedo cat Jordan! She was very kind and provided updates and photos for every visit. The drop-in visits were only thirty minutes but I could tell the attention to detail and care that went in to her visit. Kami, followed feeding instructions to the "T" and did well to maintain a clean litter pan area, especially due to my cat's tendency to have accidents outside of his designated bathroom area. Kami even took out the trash, so when I arrived home there was no unwelcoming smells. My experience with Kami was fantastic, and I'm sure Jordan appreciated her efforts as well. He even waited at the door for her arrival the next day! If you are going out of town, and need someone to take care of you pet. I highly recommend Kami's services. Happy Holidays!”
About: I have three pets of my own. Two rescue cats and one pound puppy. I have experience administrating medications from eye drops to diabetic shots. I work from home so am always available to sit in house or stop by multiple times a day. I’ve always been very good with animals and love spending my time with them. I am very excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I work remotely in sales so I am very flexible on times for visits and walks. This also allows me to stay in houses if it is needed or required! I would prefer to care for fur babies in the clients home as I have pets of my own. However we do have a very large back yard so if your dog needed a place to let loose and run around this could be accommodated!
About: Growing up I took care of my neighborhood’s pets while they were away. I also lived with a dog of my own growing up as well as 2 cats while in college. I frequently took care of my friends and coworkers pets while in college. I work at a hospital from 2-10:30pm most days, I’m free every morning until then and can walk, stop by, or do whatever is needed for your pet :) If you let me know any specific way your pet needs to be cared for, I’ll do exactly that. Other than that, I treat every pet with love and kindness.
About: I have loved animals my entire life and just got a puppy a couple months ago. I am available during weekends and weekday evenings to take care of your animals. My dog Teddy has been a joy to have and care for. I would be honored to share my skills and learn more from other animals. I will take amazing care of your beloved animal as I do my own. I work during the week but am available during weekday evenings and full weekends. Weekday evenings I can take your animal on a nice walk or play with them. My schedule is flexible. I will care for your pet as instructed to do so. Within my own home they are a part of the family receiving all the love.
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: I love caring for animals of all sizes and currently have a 6 year old GSD of my own that I’m training. Because of this I’m willing to help leash train and perform basic obedience training if interested. My GSD has had training from police K-9 unit trainer. I’m able to track and report exercise via Runkeeper app if interested. I have many years experience house sitting. I currently walk dogs and do home visits for my close neighbors and would love to expand my services. Responsible, honest, and safe, I care for your family member like it’s my own. I offer any distance walking schedule your pet needs. References available upon request. I’m currently working part time and I’m very flexible with my schedule. I understand the difficulty caring for pets during vacations and busy work schedules. I have a fenced yard and can crate any dogs as needed. Safety and care is my top priority. I treat your family member like it’s my own.
About: I would say what sets me apart is I’ve had special training incase of any type of emergency or mishap. I am a very forgiving person also. My schedule is fairy open so I have time to fit most a lot of things in. One of which is taking care of animals I most walk them at the park or play with animals in my house. My home can fit 1-2 dogs or 3 cats at a time

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!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
To find sitters in Waterville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
