“As a somewhat anxious, first-time Rover user, Sophia immediately put me at ease with her friendly, professional demeanor and desire to make a connection with my cat upon our first meeting. I left on vacation feeling confident that my pet was well cared for. Sophia kindly sent photos and updates to ensure that my cat was adjusting well in my absence. I returned to a happy cat and home just as I left it. I would, without reservation, happily recommend Sophia for pet care needs.”
“Cara was fantastic with our dog. She sent us multiple pictures and kept us up-to-date on how she was doing. The house was very clean as well when we arrived home. 100% would book with her again.”
“Chloe watched our Hallie for the longest duration yet, almost 3 weeks. She is a sporadic and finicky eater so can be challenging at times. Nevertheless, we arrived home again to a happy and healthy girl and are very appreciative of Chloe.”
“Dennis was a fantastic sitter. Excellent and regular communication, and he demonstrated real care for our dogs. He was flexible and easy to work with, and the dogs loved him. We will definitely use Dennis again!”
“She is wonderful house and dog sitter, and I knew that all went well for them Topher had some fun adventures and our house was well cared for. We appreciate her so much.”
“Robin was great!! My pup loved her and she was not at all intimidated by his high energy and ill-mannered behavior. She communicated with us before and during the stay, and sent pictures. Sherlock was entertained and she even was able to get my very picky eater to finish his dinner. I highly recommend her.”
“Spencer is fantastic! He took excellent care of our dog, Windell. He was responsible, sent pictures every day and did everything he was supposed to do, and the place was in good order when we returned. I would highly recommend Spencer for the care of your pet. Thanks, Spencer!”
“Ariana did an amazing job. She was very proactive with status updates and kept me informed daily about everything Dexter was up to. I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free knowing my dog was in good hands. 10/10, will book again.”
About: Since I was a child my family has had pets in the home. When I was 9 my sister and I collaborated to earn ourselves a kitten and since then pet care has been an important part of my life both the cuddly and the smelly. Most of my experience is with cats, I have one myself who is a total sweetheart once she gets comfortable. I’ve watched over and managed multiple cat households, senior cats, outdoor cats, and cats that have required oral medication. I also have experience watching over dogs, taking them out when needed, playing with them to help tire them out. I am comfortable walking dogs big and small, I am not professionally trained but know I can hold my own when needed. I’m currently between jobs so have plenty of time to care for your pets! Available all hours of the day and night, and I can be flexible with new jobs or cancellations. I have experience house sitting so I understand that it’s often about more than just taking care of your pets but also ensuring that your home is safe and well kept. People I’ve sit for can attest that I do my best to ensure everything is in its place and to make the space at least as clean as it was originally.
“Alisha was absolutely amazing. She was so communicative & attentive to our dogs & they LOVE her. She also made sure everything looked perfect for us to come home to. She’s the best!”
“Autumn did a wonderful job watching our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs responded great to her and she is clearly very comfortable and knowledgeable with dogs. She kept in constant communication with us, provided us with great pictures, and promptly let us know of any concerns she had with their routines and habits. I would not hesitate to seek help from Autumn again and I definitely recommend her services!”
About: I’m an avid dog watcher for family and friends, and an avid cat owner who has experience with many cat personalities! I’ve cared for senior dogs and cats, and young ones as well. Each pet is unique and I love to get to learn their quirks and develop a friendship with each and every one. I currently work part time, anywhere from 6-8 hours a day with a maximum of 4-5 days a week. My schedule is very flexible and often local so that I can devote as much time as possible to taking care of fur babies! I make it a point to be very thorough and respectful when in other people’s homes, I am sure to treat pets like I would if they were my own!
“We loved our experience with Anna! She’s so friendly, communicative, and our dog Sopa loved her!!! She left the house tidy and like she wasn’t even here. She’s such a nice person and great dog sitter! We’ll definitely use her again :)”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and truly can’t imagine life without them! I currently have a 12-year-old Frenchton who I’ve had since she was just 3 months old, as well as two cats. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work from home a couple of days a week and have a fairly flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding Friday through Wednesday and can accommodate drop-in visits any day of the week. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide, and I’m happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident they’re happy and comfortable. In my home, pets will be treated like part of the family and given plenty of attention, affection, and a safe, comfortable place to relax.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was 16. I started by pet sitting overnight for my grandparents while they were on vacation and eventually started pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve handled walking, feeding, enrichment, and medication needs. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and dispositions and have no problem staying overnight as needed. I am self-employed and therefore have the flexibility in my schedule to care for your pets in the way they deserve, whether that be an overnight stay or regular walks and potty breaks. My cats sleep in my bed with me and get regular pets and cuddles. I provide enrichment as often as they seem interested. I care for clients’ pets like I would care for my own. If the pets are allowed to sleep on the bed or sit on the furniture with me, I love animal cuddles and am happy to share my space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 6,492 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.
<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!
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.
