“Nicholas was very communicative and caring with our elderly pup. Copper truly enjoyed having him around and being able to stay home on our trip. Highly recommend!”
About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.
“Haleigh was amazing! She kept our two kitties happy, fed and entertained while we weee away, everything was clean and she sent tons of updates! Couldn't ask for a better experience! Thanks”
About: I have been a pet "Mom" for many years. I treat each furbaby as one of my own. In addition, I'm a reliable, retired home care provider. My own dog is about 80 lbs, and I can expertly manage small, medium, and large dogs. I monitor pets and look for changes. I have partnered effectively with anyone who needs care for their pet. As long as no other owner has booked me, I am available 5 days a week and have flexibility with scheduling at this time. I will follow your instructions with how you keep your pets and your home, including how you manage your routines with food, potty breaks and walks and any special requests you have for their care. I will care for them as I would my own. For myself, I do enjoy quiet activities, and furbaby snuggles are one of those. My dog is a trained service dog. He is welcomed almost anywhere I go. He gets fed twice a day, treats as earned, and lots of love. I would pass these skills and habits along to your home and your pets.
“Madison was amazing!! We had a pre visit to go over Cali’s routine. It was a great meet and greet!! During the visits I got pictures, videos, and updates. Cali was well taken care of. I highly recommend Madison. She was a sweetheart!!”
About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.
About: My parents ran a German shepherd dog breeding business when I was growing up. I helped deliver puppies and tend to our 5+ adult dogs and litters of puppies from a young age. Additionally, I've raised and cared for cats throughout my life. In college, I worked seasonally for a dog daycare and boarding facility. Post college, I worked for a dog trainer and took dogs on hikes in the woods. I would be more than happy to hike your dogs if they enjoy that level of exercise. I prefer to organize a meet up with your pets before watching them to get a better understanding of their mannerisms and needs so I can best accommodate. I work part time for a few different companies. My work is flexible if given enough time in advance. Happy to discuss further as needed. I maintain your pups regular routine to the best of my ability. It is important for your pups to have as much "normal" as possible, sometimes it's tough on them for their parents to be away.
About: I have worked as a dog groomer and have volunteered at shelters. Every animal should be treated with respect and kindness. Grooming and volunteering helped also in getting familiar with signs that a dog might be in distress. I work a full time job during the week but my afternoons are free. I also am always home on the weekends so doing this on the weekends would be perfect. I love all pets but sadly I am allergic to most cats. Dogs on the other hand can roam around my residence freely. Which includes beds, as long as they are comfortable and safe I can accommodate to any breed.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, learning early how to love, comfort, and understand them in a way that feels natural and genuine - and it’s still a favorite part of my life. I recently lost my dog who gave me unconditional love - we were best buds. Even without a fenced yard, I build safe, supervised outdoor time and regular walks into my day. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get the attention they need. I’ve grown up with dogs and always put safety first, creating a calm, supervised environment where pups can relax and feel completely cared for, even without a fenced yard.”
About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in
About: Hello! My name is Tim and I am here on Rover to expand a startup dog care service. I have always loved dogs, and life guided me into a career in dog care and training. I started working at its a dogs world in York, ME at their daycare eight years ago and fell in love with dogs even more! Our customers started inquiring about dog sitting and my dog sitting career was born. I have been dog sitting for the entirety of the time I have been with IDW. I then learned how to be a PR+ trainer and have been teaching classes and private lessons for the past 6 years. I own a Pyr X named Misty who has been fearful for most of her life, but we have made a lot of progress over the years. If you own a fearful dog and don't have anyone who you can trust, I am your guy! In the future I plan on focusing on rehabilitating fearful dogs. If you are interested in my services, please contact me via the app. I have plenty of references if you require some.
About: I have an 18-year-old dog and previously had another dog who passed away, so I understand the importance of giving them love, patience, and gentle care. I also have over 6 years of babysitting experience, which has taught me to be responsible, attentive, and dependable. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I am happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can feel safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, maintain their routines, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send photo updates so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have 10 years plus experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, grooming, and keeping dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I enjoy making time to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, including weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM. I'm committed to providing consistent, reliable care and keeping your pet's routine as close to normal as possible while you're provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My home has a securely fenced yard and a very sweet friendly well trained and behaved Golden Retriever who can provide companionship when appropriate. I'm happy to follow each pet's individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and crate training. I treat every pet with patience and care while making their safety and well-being my too priority.
“Amy is calm and reassuring and I feel completely at ease having her in our home with our beloved King Ricky. She knows just how to be with a sometimes bossy, sometimes a little naughty older guy. Amy is a true animal lover with a special touch.”
About: I have extensive experience with small and large dogs, including raising & training two male German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois. I can walk for long distances and can handle highly energetic, large, or anxious dogs. I can transport dogs in my car easily - if they have a favorite place, feel free to let me know! I am able to host dogs at my apartment & I have all the necessities. High energy dogs can be exercised (on-leash) at various parks nearby. I am a freelance writer, which allows my schedule to be as flexible as I need it to be. I am available pretty much 24/7. I live in an urban area, but I have access to parks and several walking trails. I try to keep a good balance between rest and stimulating activities.
About: I have always had a love for animals especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, one is 8 years old and the other is less than a year old. I have been taking care of my friends and families pets since I was 10. I am a student a the George Washington University in Washington D.C. and have been walking dogs regularly! I am looking for walks in between my classes and on the weekends! I’m very flexible with timing and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what works best! At my home both my dogs are create trained so I have a lot of experience with that. I also have experience with administrating meditation.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born and have helped care for them all my life as well as helping friends who also with their personal pets and rover pets as well. I usually wake up early and will be able to get them out in the morning before class then also later after classes as well. Service would be the same multiple walks a day along with playing in the house and sticking to the feeding schedule given by the owners.
“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in York Harbor is $11 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $50 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 November 2026, there are 911 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across York Harbor. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
