“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!”
“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 loved working with animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and even a couple of guinea pigs from as young as 10 years old. I love getting to know pets, their personality, and what makes them the most comfortable. I have a lot of experience in pet sitting, as well as pet photography, and I love adding photos to my collection while giving you nice photos of your pets. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets. My schedule is a little all over the place, but I don't work anything more than a 6-hour shift, so your pet won't be waiting long. I have a large fenced-in backyard with many toys to help your pet feel comfortable. I also have two cats who love interacting with other animals but know when to stay away.
“Elli was awesome with our dogs! She took great care of them and our house. We felt they were in good hands while we were away and came back to happy pups. Would absolutely recommend Elli!”
About: I worked for a boarding facility throughout high school and college. As an adult I volunteered with local shelters and fostered cats. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, I rushed down to start rescuing animals which I did for 2 months. It was a life changing event which led me to enroll in a veterinary technician program. I graduated with a degree in Colorado and continued working in the field of animal rescue. During my program I worked for a local shelter, doggy daycare and volunteered with the local Street Cat Coalition performing TNR. After Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, I went down to rescue animals and ended up working for Austin Pets Alive as a veterinary technician caring for over 300 cats and dogs. Since that time I have been fostering hospice cats. My last foster was a 20 year old with end stage kidney disease. I was able to care for her for 11 months. I have also fostered cancer and diabetic kitties and have 20 years experience working with Alaskan huskies. Although I am not working in the veterinary field, I have maintained my license with continuing education. Since relocating to Maine this summer I have decided to get my animal fix by joining Rover. I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were mine. I currently work full time with some flexibility to be able to work from home. I have weekends off which allows me to care for pets on the weekends as well. I have a fenced in backyard/deck area and access to open space and trails within walking distance of my home. I love to walk and it's always better with a dog or two! I take great care of others homes and will follow whatever instructions they have for their pets.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I aim to give your animals the attention they need 24/7. I aim to give your pet my full attention on making them the happiest and most loved while you’re away! My dog inspired me to start this journey because she was my best friend and she sadly passed away of old age, I would love to be your trusted care taker and keep your pets the safest with me. You don’t have to think about it- your animal will be in the bestest of hands! I’m currently working part time over the summer, I am around the dates I have available. I can negotiate and work out anything to make it fit for you! I have one cat who is very friendly around others and minds her own business. I live in a very pet friendly environment so there is absolutely nothing to worry about for your pets safety. I’ll work towards your pets needs and keeping them safe while you’re away!
“Greta went above and beyond for our pets. Our plans changed between the time that we booked and the time that we left- we ended up asking a lot more of Greta than we had hoped/planned, but she went above and beyond to meet the needs of a sick pet. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We have an anxious puppy and weren’t sure how it would go. Jessica made several house visits ahead of time so Nieva could get to know her. Nieva was excited to see her and sad when her new friend left. We’ll definitely be using her in the future. I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands.”
About: I have been taking care of other peoples pets for my whole life and am a huge dog person! I have watched dogs long term a couple times and have owned all sorts of pets growing up. I am free most afternoons but am able to work early mournings if needed. If you need someone to do a longer walks I have time and enjoy high activity dogs. I love carrying for animals and have a love for dogs and researching training methods. I also enjoy high energy dogs and will go for extra long walks if your dog has extra exercise to get they’re energy out.
About: I have been pet sitting for a family friend for over 5 years now and am hoping to expand my clientele. They have relied on me for overnights, feedings, check-ins, and play time. I am currently in college at Umaine trying to save money for my future. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule and is something I enjoy. I am willing to do whatever my client prefers to keep their dogs safe and comfortable, whether that is walks, going to the dog park, or playing in a fenced in area at their house.
“Kirk is incredible and we are already brainstorming reasons to have him pet sit :P He takes such good care and consideration of the pet’s needs. I saw how the other pets looked up to him for safety and comfort. He took great care of our anxious girl. Thanks Kirk!”
“Charlotte was wonderful with Sunny! So loving and attentive. Charlotte also communicated several times a day with us and showed us pictures of Sunny having a great time. Charlotte is very responsible and trustworthy. She took care of our four month old puppy for nine days in a row and had consistent care and energy throughout the long job of taking care of him! We will definitely rebook with Charlotte, she is a godsend!”
“Ann was wonderful with our 13.5 year old English setter. She took extra care making sure Buddy was safe and comfortable. She was very communicative about his health to make sure she was doing everything she could for him. We couldn’t have left him in better hands I highly recommend Ann!!!”
“Julia was terrific! Our Stanley can be a little shy around new people, but she came and met him before spending several nights with him, and the second time she came he was so excited to see her! She sent us daily pictures, took him on lots of hikes, and took such great care of our little buddy. We are so thankful for her and won’t be using anyone else!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bangor
Stesha was absolutely amazing! She took care of our three pups and two cats over the long weekend and was super attentive to their needs, walked the pups, and stayed overnight while checking in periodically throughout the day. We are already making plans for our next trip and highly recommend!
Kristopher watched our 9-year-old pug and 3-year-old Great Pyrenees for four days while we were out of town, and we were extremely happy that we hired him. We will definitely be asking him to pet sit for us again! This was our first time having someone from Rover stay in our home with our dogs, so naturally we were a little unsure of what to expect, but the experience turned out great. Kristopher was very reliable and communicated with us regularly, sending photos and updates about how the dogs were doing. His communication was clear and consistent, which we really appreciated and made it easy for us to relax while we were away. Kristopher followed all of the instructions we left for him and took great care of both dogs. When we returned home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been very well cared for. We would be happy to have him back in our house helping with our dogs again during our next trip.
Juliette is so much more than a five-star dog sitter. We have 5 dogs which is not a small thing to juggle! We’ve had Juliette sit for us probably 10x now, and every single time we leave knowing they are safe, happy, and genuinely loved. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and it’s just as obvious that she adores them. She is attentive, patient, dependable, and somehow manages 5 completely different personalities like it’s nothing. Honestly, our favorite review of Juliette comes from our dogs themselves: when we come home, they barely seem to notice we were gone. They are so happy and content that they don’t even give us the dramatic “YOU’RE HOME!” reaction we expect! That tells us everything. We trust Juliette completely and cannot speak highly enough of her.🩷
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
