About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was little and worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years! I have a lot of experience with: • Understanding canine behavior • Dog walking • Off-Leash Trail Adventures • In-Home Pet Sitting • Drop In’s • Med Management and Administration • Grooming (Baths, nail trims, ear cleaning.) I’m free and flexible to dog walk Monday-Friday and willing to pick up some walking on the weekends when available! Animal care is a passion of mine and I’d love to do it full time! I’m confident managing different temperaments, energy levels, and feeding routines. I’m very detail oriented and will follow all care instructions closely to make sure your best friend is happy and healthy. I’m also always providing regular updates and pictures so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away! :)
About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own! My Cocker Spaniel Willy has his own health issues, so if any extra special care is required for your pet, I’m your girl! I’m a full time registered nurse (RN) and only work 3 days a week! I am a Registered Nurse and only work 3 days a week! I am looking for ways to spend my days off, and I thought what better way than with animals!? I currently live in Biddeford and am available to travel to your home for any of your pets needs! I previously lived in Portland and work in Westbrook so I’m familiar with the area! Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!
“Theodora did a great job taking care off Libbie managing her work schedule and dog sitting. She sent us many pictures and we could see they were enjoying each other. We would definitely use her again and we highly recommend her to Rover users.”
“Lori went above and beyond!. She came over ahead of time to meet our dogs and spent an hour with us to let them get comfortable with her. One of our guys has severe stranger anxiety, and even though he never warmed up to her, she never stopped trying. She got along great with our other two guys, gave them lots of love and sent us pictures while we were gone. She left the house clean, washed the sheets on the bed and did many things that we said were okay to just leave alone. We would definitely ask Lori back, if she would come back for us!”
“We were lucky to have Victoria house sit with our dog Myra! She provided clear communication before and during the stay, with lots of photo updates. She left the house spotless and went above and beyond to take Myra on outdoor adventures with her. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Megan was awesome! She stayed with our dog Otto at our house for two nights. She sent frequent updates and photos, which reassured us that Otto was happy and comfortable while we were gone. Thank you to Megan for making it a great weekend for Otto!”
About: I grew up with animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even birds! I will always want to work with animals! I know basic health needs and training for dogs. I work a full time job but am completely available to stay at a clients house for however long they need. I do not currently have pets and can devote my free time to the clients. I am a responsible, respectful, and good at communication. I understand the trust you’re putting in someone to care for your pets and your home.
“Marlena was awesome to work with and we are so glad we found her! She was super communicative and sent lots of updates and photos of our two babies. Her care offered so much peace of mind while we traveled. Highly recommend trusting your fur family with her!”
“Mel went above and beyond watching our dogs at our home and we couldn’t be happier. We appreciated the photos and check-ins while on our trip and we would absolutely book with Mel again.”
“This is the second time that Jillian stayed with our pup and we could not have been happier with our choice to re book! We got plenty of updates all weekend and came home to a tired pup and a spotless house. She even brought our packages in which was very much appreciated.”
“Beth was great! We were in town for a wedding and it was our first time using a pet sitter. Beth sent us pics to let us know he was okay. Although he wasn't that interactive, we knew he felt safe, as he didn't have a meltdown. That was huge! We definitely recommend Beth and will rebook with her in the future.”
“Ashely was great - she was able to accommodate my last minute request and did a great job with my 8 year old dog Jake. She was willing to go the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable. I highly recommend her services, and will be using her again in the future!”
“Alexander offered us excellent care for both our beloved 2 year old GSD and our home. We were away for 5 days/4 nights, and throughout that time, he communicated clearly and sent many welcomed and reassuring photos. Our home was spotless when we returned. We'd definitely welcome the opportunity for him to care for Sammy, and house sit for us, again. Thank you, Alexander!”
“We are so happy to have found Rachel! We have an older dog and were worried about leaving her with someone new but Rachel was great with her. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Becca did a great job watching our a little beagle Bo. She kept in touch with us, sent photos, and left us notes. All seem to go well. We felt very comfortable going away for the weekend.”
About: Have had a wonderful cockapoo for nearly 6 years. I have perfected my art of walking and if schedules align would love to bring your dog along too! Usually available before 7am then 930-3pm and again in the late evening if needed. Caring for my own dog and family and when possible your dog, too! I have a very dog friendly home for my dog. I use a leash in my own yard for my dog. If working in another persons home I would respect their rules and expectations on caring for their dog.
“My dog loves Nishat! She has such a calming energy and puts my nervous dog instantly at ease. Nishat came to the rescue when family emergencies left little time for making arrangements, and made sure Beesly was safe and happy while I was away. She sends lots of photo updates during her stay and really dotes on my dog. Beesly and I are so happy to have found Nishat!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Biddeford
I used Rover for the very first time and found a gem in Sparrow. They met with me ahead of time, as my 12 yr old Westie has meds both morning and night and anxiety issues. Honestly, Sparrow’s communication with me was stellar. Fiona stopped eating the first morning I was gone (Westitude and a nervous Nellie!) and Sparrow immediately texted me. Their concern was very reassuring, and once Fiona figured that she was in caring hands, the rest of their stay went smoothly. Sparrow stayed overnight in my home for 6 days, and I returned to an immaculate home. I would not hesitate to have Sparrow doggy sit for Fiona in the future. They get a 10 on a scale of 1-5!!!!!
Brittany was an exceptional and attentive sitter for our two dogs. We had to say goodbye to one of our beloved pups just before the stay, and she showed so much care in comforting the other two as they adjusted to his absence. It meant a lot that she kept their routine consistent and gave them plenty of extra affection during such a difficult time. When one of them experienced a medical event, she handled it with professionalism and calm, which we truly appreciated. Communication 10/10.
We loved having Anna stay at our house for a week looking over our sweet boy! I was very appreciative that she took time out of her weekend to come meet him prior to booking so he was nice and comfortable when she arrived, since we had to leave him very early in the morning. She was communicative and sent pictures of him napping throughout the week, and I knew that he was comfortable and happy with her! She also left our house sparkling clean and it was really nice to come home to that!
Heather was excellent house sitting with our cat when we went away for a few days. We got regular updates, and it was clear that he warmed up to her quickly. She left our house neat and tidy. We will definitely ask Heather when we need a cat sitter in the future!
Ken is awesome! He took such good care of my Cutter, sending me messages and pics daily of he and Cutter. For some reason they do not show up in Rover (probably my fault). He took care of my property, even washing and making up the bed. Will definitely call on Ken again for future services. He is absolutely wonderful and it allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was comfortable and safe. 💗
This is the second time that Jillian stayed with our pup and we could not have been happier with our choice to re book! We got plenty of updates all weekend and came home to a tired pup and a spotless house. She even brought our packages in which was very much appreciated.
Nikki is the best! She takes care of my cat by visiting and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to receive daily updates and pictures. And this wonderful lady books last minute thank you thank you will definitely use you again and this is a five star experience.Po thanks you too 🐈⬛

FAQs for House Sitting - Biddeford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Biddeford on Rover is $55.5 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 699 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Biddeford. 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 Biddeford 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 Biddeford 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 Biddeford 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.
