“Sally did an excellent job with Boo! We came home to a calm, happy kitty with clean litter boxes! She even brought in packages from the front porch! Thank you for taking care of him while we were away.”
“Nancy is the best; my cat just adores her and she takes time to play with him and brush him. Even when the weather is terrible, she’s there, on time and on point to care for my pet.”
“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!”
“Rachel is fantastic! She is loving to our elderly dog Zoey. She puts us at ease while we are gone by taking many pictures at each visit and giving detailed descriptions of her visits.”
“Toby communicated with me throughout the visit, with this being her first time without me being home. Everything went well. It appeared Kahlo had fun and got some exercise, while I attended a long class. Rover worked very well and Toby was great to work with. ❤️”
“Chloe is beyond amazing! My wife and I were worried about our dogs warming up to her but she was so kind and patient with them. She was always on time, consistent and took great pics and notes for us. WILL BE HAPPY TO BOOK AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!”
About: I have years of experience caring for all types and ages of dogs and truly enjoy their personalities! I value the importance of your animal to you and your family and will take of them like they are my own. I currently work remotely a few hours a day which allows me to dedicate time to any animals I am currently caring for including my own (a 12 week old golden retriever) I have a beautiful and large fenced in yard that any dog would enjoy and also a family who is just as passionate about caring for animals as I am!
“First time for us using Rover for our fur babies daily care while we took a quick family snowboarding/ski trip. We had the best experience with Jess caring for our sweet pittie Bessie and our two rats Ponyo & Sosuke! We knew from the minute they met that Bessie and the rats would be well taken care of. Bessie enjoyed snuggles, leg massages (she is recovering from TPLO surgery), watching nature & dog shows, taking short walks and much more. We appreciated the updates after each visit and the photos of our fur babies. We would highly recommend using Jess again and will certainly reach out should we need assistance again!”
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.
“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.”
“I would highly recommend Gemma to care for your pets. She arrived on time for the meet and greet visit and also was timely with the drop-in visit. She loves animals and is dedicated in her role at Rover.”
About: Hello! I’m Marie! I have been an animal lover since I can remember and I’ve had pets since the age of 5. As a young adult, I do have friends and family that ask me to watch their pets for them when they’re away. Walking, feeding and quality time are all areas I do well in! I personally have a few pets of my own including exotics and have no issue caring for reptiles or arachnids. Axolotls, rats and rabbits are a few of the pets I have owned and cared for. I also have cats, a dog, birds and tarantulas! They all deserve the upmost care and love. So if you need someone experienced in all animals, I’m your girl! I currently work from 4am-12pm with Mondays and Thursdays off. I am always willing and able to make sure clients are taken care of before or after work. I always follow what the owner wants. Lists are my best friend when it comes to precise things when caring for other’s animals. Routine is important as well. I walk my dog throughout the day and my cats are pretty low maintenance. I am exceptional with following your day to day routines and expectations.
About: Hi! I’m Alana, an animal lover of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, my family had a pitbull lab mix and a chow/akita mix. Now I share my home with 3 German Shepherds, 1 Shar pei/bulldog mix, and 1 Jack Russel mix. Not to mention the 6 cats I have. So I know first hand what a pet needs to live life to the fullest! Through my own personal experience with my German Shepherds, I have dealt with and managed leash reactivity and dog to dog reactivity. I am experienced in a number of dog behaviors ranging from fearful, anxious dogs to super outgoing, active dogs. I have worked in the doggy daycare and boarding career for 3 years. It has given me lots of experience with dogs from the young active dogs to the seniors who just want love! I have a lot of experience with administrating medications, nail clipping, bathing, a basic training, and of course walks. As a pack leader, I have supervised groups of 5 to 50+ ensuring the safety of everyone and proper socialization. With working in this career, I have gone through Pack Pro training courses and learned all kinds of new things to help ensure I do my best to keep every dog safe and happy! I have worked with and am comfortable with dogs 2 lbs to 120+ lbs. I currently work full time at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I am happy to be as flexible as possible for what my schedule allows. Sometimes I work mornings and sometimes I work late afternoons til mid evenings. I am open to accommodating anything your pet may need. I take pride in making sure every owner and dog is happy! As an owner I know how dogs aren’t just a dog but they are part of the family. I will provide daily pictures and updates to make sure owners are confident their dog is being well taken care of. Any animal in my care, I treat as if they were my own. I look forward to taking care of your pets! I currently have a full time job at a doggy daycare and boarding facility but am willing to open my free time to spend with your lovely pets. I am looking most for weekends but am open to week days as long as it fits around my schedule. I do not have a set schedule, it is different every week. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have 5 dogs and 6 cats. I live on 1 acre so plenty of room to run!
“Sky was AMAZING with our dogs! She gave great updates, great communication and loved our dogs like her own! She suggested a meet & greet on her own time prior to us leaving, which really helped put me at ease. We'll be hiring her for all visits from here on out!”
About: Hi! I’m Krystal, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years. I provide dependable dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care for dogs, cats, seniors, and multi-pet households. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work, your puppy needs a potty break and some playtime, or your pets simply do better with a consistent routine, I’m happy to help. Visits can include walks, potty breaks, meals, fresh water, medication, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and pets requiring medication or a little extra patience and support. After caring for my own senior dogs, I understand how reassuring it is to have someone dependable who will take the time to get to know your pet and their individual needs. I’m available for both occasional and recurring weekday walks and drop-ins and love building long-term relationships with pets and their families. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I structure my days around the pets in my care. My daytime schedule typically includes walks, drop-in visits, errands, appointments, and other everyday commitments. For boarding and house sitting, I spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day while balancing my scheduled visits and commitments. Because of this, pets should be comfortable spending some time independently while I’m out. I also offer complimentary meet & greets so we can connect, review your pet’s routine, and make sure we’re a great fit before their stay! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For boarding, I provide a comfortable home environment and follow your dog’s feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Favorite toys, treats, and comfort items are always welcome! In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, medications, playtime, and household preferences. I’m also happy to reinforce any training or routines you’re currently working on.
“Vivien did an awesome job working with my cat. He's not always the friendly but Vivien was calm and friendly and made sure he received his inhaler and got some socialization time.”
About: I don’t just love animals; caring for them is something I have years of hands-on experience doing. I have worked professionally in dog daycare and have also provided private pet sitting for families since 2022. My experience has taught me how to read canine body language, recognize changes in behavior, safely manage different personalities, and help dogs who may be shy, anxious, nervous, or simply VERY excited to make a new friend! I believe every pet deserves care based on who they are. Some dogs want to play and stay busy, while others would rather curl up beside you and feel safe. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, feeding schedule, and the little things that make them comfortable. I want you to leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and being cared for like one of my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have the experience from working in a structured dog daycare and also provide private pet-sitting services, so I’m accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll always make sure we discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. My professional dog daycare and pet-sitting experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, and each pet’s individual comfort level. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully and never assume that every pet has the same needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to provide a clean, calm, secure environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterville
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waterville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 548 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waterville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
