“Anne was a perfect fit for us. All the animals were happy and came to us right away when we got home. NO signs of stress whatsoever; everyone was calm. The house was neat and clean and she had washed the linens and changed the bed. We would love to have her stay with our "kids" anytime and will ask for her next time we travel. Many thanks!!”
“Jazlynne took SUCH good care of our pets! She was even willing to take on a semi-potty trained young puppy, and all of our pets ADORED her! Left our home spotless, took care of all of the animals needs, and even was willing to take on an extra day last minute when our plane home got delayed. Absolutely plan on using her services again!”
About: I grew up on a farm with horses, pigs, sheep, cows, a dog and a cat. I particpated at a young age taking care of them (feeding, brushing, removing manure). Throughout my life I have had personal pets as well as helped care for pets of family and friends. I currently work full-time remotely M-F 8:00am-5:00pm. I also have a 9 year old son. I am typically available weekday evenings after work and weekends. I have a runner that extends from the side entrance of my house to my detached garage with a partially fenced backyard. I live in a safe neighborhood and have great neighbors. Three of my neighbors on my street work for the police department.
“Joanna watched my dog Mavis over the holiday weekend. She was very responsive and took Mavis on lots of hikes and walks. I received periodic updates and pics. It made my trip stress free knowing that my dog was in good hands! Thank You”
“Makayla took such wonderful care of my cats! She is great at communicating and sending updates. She made me feel at ease while I was on vacation knowing that they were in good hands. I will definitely have her stay with Otis and Pearl in the future:) thank you again!!”
About: Hi! I’m a student at the University of Maine and a big animal lover. I have three cats back at home and experience watching small dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy and safe. I’m a student at UMaine and pet care fits well into my routine because I’m looking for flexible work. I’m able to plan my schedule around classes and make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and time throughout the day. I provide care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their environment. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow their routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions closely. I prioritize safety, trust, and cleanliness, and make sure pets feel secure, well cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Stesha is a genuinely incredible person and sitter. We had a last minute trip out of the country and she literally got to us days before we left and provided such love and care and kindness for our little ones. Our dog is an anxious guy and Stesha treated him so kindly and gently, as was her treatment of our cat. We would absolutely be working with her again. 10/10.”
About: I've always had dogs or cats as pets. I currently have 2 dogs now. Dashy is 16 year old Dashhound who was severely neglected and abandoned at 13 and Beau now 8 is a Rat Terrier mix adopted as a puppy. Both boys are very friendly, happy, healthy and quite spoiled. I also have my Pet CPR & First Aid cert from Red Cross as well as some behavioral training. I work best senior, handicapped and terminally ill pets though the fee may change depending of medical need. I'm retired and I have full daily availability from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and some night time availability as well as overnights. I have a fenced/blocked back yard, another fur baby and plenty of room for them to play. Grass, gazebo and lawn Charis for them! The inside is spacious and safe for dogs and dog friendly cats.
“Ellie is awesome! She stayed at our home with our three cats. She befriended our cranky old man & took excellent care of our boys. Ellie kept in contact with photos & updates of the boys. I greatly appreciate her care & support allowing me to feel comfortable while traveling. I will most definitely plan any future trip around Ellie’s availability to look after our guys!”
About: Hello, my name is Kristopher Vladyka and I'm located right by the Bangor airport. I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals such as rodents. I've been around pets for most of my life and I have been a pet owner for years. I have been a professional Sitter and Boarder on Rover since August 2021. Through my time as a professional pet sitter and pet boarder I have taken care of many different breeds, such as Maltese, Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, Labradoodles, Pitbulls, Boxers, Labs, Beagles, pugs, etc. I have also gained invaluable experience taking care of young puppies, elderly dogs, and dogs with special needs. I can administer oral medications as well as lift and carry dogs up to 50 pounds. With every client I try to go above and beyond during the stay. You can expect good quality pictures of your lovely pet as well as detailed updates on how the stay is going. Your pet will always come first when they are in my care, and will always be prioritized during the stay. Their happiness and safety matter most to me. I also take emergency or same-day bookings if my schedule allows for it, so if something happens please shoot me a message and I will do my best to work with you! **If you have financial issues, my pricing can be negotiated. I do this for my love of animals first and foremost, and I want to help people who need it, so please don't hesitate to ask about pricing if you can't afford the listed price. I'm currently working as a Professional pet sitter and pet boarder full time, so I have the time and energy to dedicate to taking care of your pets. As a fellow pet owner, I know that your pets are like family, so while they're in my care I'll treat them the same and make sure they are loved and cared for to the best of my ability. Also, because this is my full-time job, I am very flexible with drop-off/pick-up times and understand that they're often more of an estimate. I've taken dogs in as late as midnight, and have had them picked up at similar times. I try to work with the owner's schedule as best as I can, as long as I'm available. **I accept last minute requests, especially in cases of emergencies, as long as I'm available. I live in a very safe neighborhood, however my yard is not fenced, so any dogs will need to come with a leash and collar or harness. I have experience walking large breeds and am okay with some tugging. As I do live in an apartment building, and my apartment is on the second story, there are stairs going up to my apartment. With small to medium breeds, if your dog doesn't mind being picked up, I have no problem carrying them up and down the stairs during their stay. Your pet will be safe in my care, as I have the time to keep my eyes on them and make sure they're both happy and healthy during their stay with me. I will be able to follow the feeding schedule/routine that is given to me for the pet and I will never ever give any pet food (outside of what's packed for them) or treats without explicit permission from the owner first unless prior permission is given (such as treats being packed for the pet in my care).
“Jessica is great and the Littles and Henry the cat loved her. I appreciated the photos and checkins while I was away and did not worry. Everyone had fun. Jessica arrived on time, stayed at my home and was there when I returned. Everything went smoothly. Thank you so much! Doreen”

In my early adulthood, I have adopted/rescued a few cats named Nora, Baby, Liza, Mikey and Slater. I now have a sweet cat named Wanda.

I have availability before and after work, along with the 3 days off every week, Tuesday and the weekend. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own. I want to keep your pets as happy as possible while they are in my care. For dogs, I am comfortable doing walks/hikes and outdoor play. For cats, I will keep their areas clean and am willing to spend extra time to let them adjust to me and feel comfortable.
“Katherine was amazing! Stayed in our home for a week taking care of our hound dog Monet. She sent updates and photos daily. We came back to a clean house and happy pup. We highly recommend Katherine”
“Thomas took wonderful care of my fur family while I was out of state for three days. He provided regular updates and was considerate of their routine. I felt very at easy with them in his care and will rebook in the future!”
About: I provide love and care to animals. While I don’t have professional experience, I do have personal experience with animals. Whether in or outside of my family I have provided care to animals in need most of my life and I enjoy it every time! I take my dog on walks just about everyday and get her plenty of outside time and indoor play time! I am also able to take care of her with food, water, and love! I show them love, care, and the provide necessities where it’s needed. Whether it’s walks, treats, or love, your dog will get it!
About: I will NEGOTIATE PRICES!! Especially with higher priced stays. It's all dependent on your animals level of needs/length of stay amongst other things. 🙂 Please just ask, there are just no extra settings in the app for this. 🙂 I offer discounts for smaller dogs, as well as well trained dogs. I also offer $20 off your FIRST booking with me with code ELIZAD92501 I've cared for a variety of animals all my life. I really enjoy walking, I LOVE everything about the ocean, as well as the woods and I've spent the majority of my childhood outside in nature. ❤️Animals have gotten me through some of the worst parts of my life and have always been there for me in ways another human could not. I'm good with specialty care, as I've owned rats in the past for quite a few years! They require a very specific healthy diet/great air quality and require much more extensive care than people realize. They require expensive, careful care and planning, much more than your average pet. I've also had pet cats, dogs, mice, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and chickens in the past. My dream is to live on a farm someday and animals have always been a big part of my life. I know that ALL creatures are very sentient and feel just as deeply as we do, if not deeper. Animals are very intelligent creatures and often know and see things we do not! My environment here is laid back and I'm a very chilled out down to earth kind of person. I like to have everything set up for my pets I'm watching as soon as I get in the door. I'm very attentive and empathetic as well. I'm always sure to send regular updates and photos. If you ever need or want anything during a stay just ask, I'm always very understanding. My boyfriend and I live together and he also enjoys helping care for the pets I take care of. He's is a very loving, intelligent, kind hearted person and just all around a great guy with a pure heart ❤️ I'm at home full time right now, I live next to a park with a walking trail and many side streets where I and other people regularly walk their dogs. If I'm not at home my boyfriend is and vice versa. I usually wake up early in the morning. I've cared for a variety of animals all my life. I really enjoy walking, I LOVE everything about the ocean, as well as the woods and I've spent the majority of my childhood outside in nature. ❤️ I'm a deep thinker and I genuinely care about others emotions deeply. Others Pain, hurt, and happiness affect me as if it were my own and that's probably one of my greatest weaknesses in life. People aren't always there for you, but animals are! They have gotten me through the worst parts of my life and have always been there for me in ways when another person wasn't. I take my own path in life, you could call me a loner lol. I've always been a little different from others and I don't fit in with the big crowd. I'm also part native American and I've always felt and known there is a deeper meaning and connection to everything in life, although I don't know if the two are connected lol.

I'm accommodating so just ask! Water change at least 2× a day. I like to make sure that they have their food and water station all set up, and their bed and toys set out right after they come in the door so they feel at home. I pick up on cues easily and most always know when to take them out. I also note care details down and keep everything in mind. I send updates regularly and lots of photos. I'm attentive and empathetic too! Having an animal next to me while I'm having family time makes my place feel cozy and homey ❤️ I always double check with the owner about what their pets can and can't have when I want to give snacks or extra treats, and I also have knowledge of what's okay to give them and not.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bangor
Jazlynne was a great sitter and my dog absolutely adored her! It was the longest we’d ever been apart from him and Jazlynne was so communicative and provided us with photos and updates multiple times a day. We thought with such a prolonged separation our dog would prefer to be in his home environment, so Jazlynne came over multiple times a day to spend time with him and take care of his needs. I trusted Jazlynne completely in our home and had no doubts our dog felt ten times more comfortable having her there instead of being dog sat somewhere else. We saw on the pet cam that one night the pooch was throwing up and generally acting sick. I reached out to Jazlynne and she immediately went over to check on him. Luckily he just had a little food bug but Jazlynne stayed with him and made sure he was feeling better. I’m incredibly grateful she was here to watch over him. I would gladly hire Jazlynne again for any service.
Stesha is a genuinely incredible person and sitter. We had a last minute trip out of the country and she literally got to us days before we left and provided such love and care and kindness for our little ones. Our dog is an anxious guy and Stesha treated him so kindly and gently, as was her treatment of our cat. We would absolutely be working with her again. 10/10.
Lise was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative and gave our pup so much love and attention I think he is sad she’s gone. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting. She kept the house very clean and was so flexible when our flight was delayed. She also sent us so many amazing pictures! We definitely look forward to working with her again!
Hire Erica. She is amazing. Erica watched our dog at our home for the weekend of our wedding, and she was great. Super respectful, our dog loved her, and she was so flexible and eager to please/help. I’d trust her to take care of my dog any time. Our weekend would not have been so stress-free without her.
Anne was the best dog sitter we ever had. Having her daughter Lucy with her, made it extra wonderful for our dog. She was extremely responsible, and we returned to our house in tip top shape. She sent us plenty of photos along the way. We will definitely be using her again and again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Bangor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bangor on Rover is $36.91 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 107 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bangor. 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 Bangor 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 Bangor 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 Bangor 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
