About: Hi, I'm Lauren! 🐾I’m a lifelong animal lover and dogs have always been one of my greatest joys, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 🐾I'm the proud owner of my five-year-old rescue dog, Rex. Raising him from puppyhood has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of understanding that every dog is unique. In addition to caring for Rex, I've helped care for my family's beloved dog for the past eight years and have frequently pet sat for the dogs of friends and family. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs. 🐾I believe every dog deserves individualized attention, and I love taking the time to learn each pet's personality, routines, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'll make sure they receive care tailored to what makes them happiest. 🐾Safety is always my top priority. I'm attentive, observant, and careful to follow instructions closely while maintaining your pet's normal routine. Whether your pet has a detailed schedule, requires oral medication, or just needs a little extra patience and reassurance, I'm happy to provide the thoughtful care they deserve. 🐾I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home in someone else's care. As a flexible remote working professional, my schedule allows me to provide reliable care and give your pet the time and attention they need. 🐾I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting. Communication is very important to me, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you're away. I'm also happy to schedule a complimentary meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your pet can get to know me and feel completely comfortable. 🐾My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I'd want someone to give my own dog. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🤍🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to incorporating into my routine. I am able to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care while making sure each pet's individual schedule, exercise needs, and routines are maintained all while giving them lots of love. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I am attentive, observant, and careful to follow instructions closely, from feeding schedules and routines to medications and special care needs. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you're away. I also value communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and safe.
“Ashley stayed in my home and took exceptional care of Harley and Izzy while I was away. She treated them like her own and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that Harley and Izzy were relaxed, happy, and enjoying their time with her. I am incredibly grateful for the care Ashley provided. Being away from my dogs is never easy, but knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Kristen was the best dog sitter we’ve had! She went above and beyond to care for our sweet boy and watch over our house too. We were able to enjoy our time away and know that he was well cared for. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was little and worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years! I have a lot of experience with: • Understanding canine behavior • Dog walking • Off-Leash Trail Adventures • In-Home Pet Sitting • Drop In’s • Med Management and Administration • Grooming (Baths, nail trims, ear cleaning.) I’m free and flexible to dog walk Monday-Friday and willing to pick up some walking on the weekends when available! Animal care is a passion of mine and I’d love to do it full time! I’m confident managing different temperaments, energy levels, and feeding routines. I’m very detail oriented and will follow all care instructions closely to make sure your best friend is happy and healthy. I’m also always providing regular updates and pictures so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away! :)

“Megan is a gem! This was our first experience hiring a sitter for our two elder dogs, so we were feeling rather anxious. After meeting Megan, though, any concerns we had evaporated and we didn’t have a moment of worry during our trip. We returned home to two very well cared for dogs and a clean, well tended home. We are thrilled to have found Megan, look forward to having her sit for us again, and highly recommend her.”

“My two pups were so well cared for. We were completely at ease knowing Brianna was watching them. She sent us regulars pictures throughout our week away which was great to see them happy and playing. I highly recommend Brianna!”

“Catherine was great with our 2 dogs. She is attentive and responsible, and our dogs loved her. She’s studying to be a vet so she also had good questions. We would recommend her highly!!”

“Becca did a great job watching our a little beagle Bo. She kept in touch with us, sent photos, and left us notes. All seem to go well. We felt very comfortable going away for the weekend.”


“My dog was in such great hands with Caitlin! She asked lots of thorough questions during our meet & greet and I felt very at ease the whole time I was away. She was also very flexible with some changes in my schedule on both ends of the booking. Highly recommend having Caitlin watch your pup!”

About: I provide loving, reliable care for pets of all ages. Whether it's playtime, walks, or cuddles, your pet will feel safe and happy in my care. I work part-time, so I'm available most weekday afternoons and weekends. I do have college classes Mondays & Wednesdays, so unfortunately I am unavailable in the afternoon those days. Pet care easily fits into my routine, allowing flexible, reliable service for your pets. I care for pets in their own homes, providing personalized attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m unable to host pets due to having my own furbabies, but offer reliable, loving care on-site.

About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own! My Cocker Spaniel Willy has his own health issues, so if any extra special care is required for your pet, I’m your girl! I’m a full time registered nurse (RN) and only work 3 days a week! I am a Registered Nurse and only work 3 days a week! I am looking for ways to spend my days off, and I thought what better way than with animals!? I currently live in Biddeford and am available to travel to your home for any of your pets needs! I previously lived in Portland and work in Westbrook so I’m familiar with the area! Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!

“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!”

“Lori did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Harley at my home over 4th of July weekend. Harley is a quirky girl who is full of personality. Lori showed so much patience and love to Harley, she really put my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate to have Lori watch Harley again.”

“On relatively short notice, we had arranged for Eli to come stay with Lily for just six hours during the day. He went out of his way to actually do a meet and great prior, which was really nice. Lily was very comfortable with him, and we would definitely be interested in having him watch her again!”

“Meagan helped us out when we had to travel out of town for three days. She stayed with our 12 week old puppy at our apartment. She was great with little Kara. She kept us posted, administered meds and took very good care of our pup.”

“Lee was able to help us last minute over a holiday weekend and still took the time to come meet us and our dog, Blue, beforehand. Lee sent pictures and updates while we were away and took great care of her. Blue seemed happy and comfortable, which let us relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Lee!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wells on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 791 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wells. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Wells 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 Wells 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.
Tip: 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 Wells 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wells. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
