About: I grew up in a house with anywhere from 3-4 pets at all times, from small elderly dogs with medical needs, to rambunctious labs and golden retrievers who required lots of patience. I am just as confident with a big dog in a leash just as I am with a timid cat who needs extra care. I have copious experience managing oral medications for cats and dogs alike, walking dogs, and cleaning up accidents. My dog Koko wore diapers and took five medications and a day for the last year of life, so I am no stranger to the challenges of caring for older pets. I am a graduate student music at McGill with a very flexible schedule, both daytime and nighttime hours. I am also available on weekends and most holidays. I am not offering services within my own home as I live in a student apartment. At my house I also have a small tiger (kitty).
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. Overnight rates are based on 1, 12 block of time. 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, has AC and safe for dogs and dog friendly cats.
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.
“It was love at first sight for Chuck and our dogs. He's an excellent dog and house sitter and we so appreciate his stepping in for us on short notice. Can't recommend him highly enough.”
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 along doing rover. I prefer a week in advanced request. I try to keep my calendar as up to date as I can. 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 and loved while you’re away!
“Ella was great. We came home to a very happy doggie. Ella communicated well from the beginning. She was conscientious in her care of Maple and our home, I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.”
About: I have always had pets in my house growing up and I love spending time with both cats and dogs. Playing fetch and snuggling is my favorite thing to do! I am pretty flexible and free, especially on the weekends. I am a college student but I I don’t have a job keeping me busy! I have a 2 dogs and cat, all who are super sweet and love to make friends. I can crate your dog if needed and so have a big to play in.
About: I love spending time with all pets. I enjoying playing and caring for them. I’ve even cared for birds and lizards. Your pet is safe with me. I work for myself so I am pretty open. Just let me know what you need and I can move things around if I need to. I make sure to get all the information I need before caring for your pets. I will clean up after then, give medication, and watch them with a careful eye to keep them safe.
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 did an outstanding job pet/house sitting for us. He is dependable and arrived on time for the stay. He is a great communicator and kept us informed by text and with photos and videos. Kirk is cognizant of situations that may need attention; there was a medical issue about which Kirk informed us. After visiting with us, Kirk confidently resolved the issue and took the best care of our dog. Kirk took great care of our house as well. Mail was brought in; plants were watered; floors were vacuumed; kitchen, bathroom, bedroom were cleaned. It was as if we had never left. Our dog was happy to see us but was very calm and content. It was obvious to us that Kirk had provided a secure stay for him. We had absolutely no worries about our dog or the house while Kirk was in our home. We highly recommend Kirk and will rebook with him in the future without hesitation.”
“Tiana was such a pleasure to work with. She stayed in house with three dogs who all seemed to attach to her seamlessly. The house was spotless when I came home. My first experience with Rover was exemplary.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bangor is $55

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!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Bangor is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 per night.

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 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.
