“Victoria stayed the weekend with my small dog who has separation anxiety. Victoria was so kind and caring with her! She also kept in good touch with me and left the house better than when she arrived. I’d definitely recommend her and use her again. She’s a lovely person.”
“Abigail did an awesome job watching Finn for us- arrived when expected, and followed all the care instructions we discussed. We appreciate it so much! Even the neighbors told us how good she was with Finn and that he loved being with her. We Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Julie is the best sitter I have ever had, and I have had many sitters. My dogs were calm and happy when I got home. They clearly got lots of attention. She responds to texts immediately and sends lots of great photos. My house is always spotless when I get home. I used her many times and she is always on point.”
“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!”
“Kaylee stayed overnight with Cali and she was great! She was good with communication and making sure Cali was well taken care of, she took time to play with her and kept me updated as needed with photos. I will be requesting her for more overnight dog sittings.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, from Siamese cats to Great Danes! Huge lover of the outdoors and animals of all kinds, especially my sweet 13 year old kitty, Cranberry Bog! :) I work in the education field, so I am avaliable after 2:30 every week day, with most weekends open to take care of your special furry friends! I am a huge believer in creating a safe space for all animals and ensuring their comfort while in my care! I will always communicate with pet parents about all steps of the care process & updates! :)
“Ashley stayed in my home and took exceptional care of Harley and Izzy while I was away. She treated them like her own and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that Harley and Izzy were relaxed, happy, and enjoying their time with her. I am incredibly grateful for the care Ashley provided. Being away from my dogs is never easy, but knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“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.”
“Nishat was absolutely phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our Ellie. She sent us updates, photos, and communication was top notch. She was devoted to our pup during their time together. We are truly happy and will definitely be using Nishat again!”
“Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.”
“Nicole took great care of my spoiled little boy! She took him on several beach outings and sent me pictures of him. She collected my mail while I was away and left my house spotless! I would highly recommend Nicole if you need a caring and responsible sitter for your furbaby.”
“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. 💗”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Biddeford
Their attention to detail was impressive. They noticed habits and personality traits in our girls that we know and take for granted. They could tell that Brynn was having some regular arthritis pain and that Lilly was off her potty schedule and quickly communicated that to us to make sure we were aware and to see if there was anything they could do to help. They’re great at asking questions when they think anything should be brought to our attention and want to know if there is anything they can do about it. Their passion and love for fur babies was evidenced by their regular and thorough check-in texts, the time they spent time with our fur babies, and pictures they sent. Their attentiveness and regular updates regarding Lilly’s med schedule and Brynn’s arthritis pain gave us peace of mind while we were away. We definitely will ask them to spend time with Brynn and Lilly next summer when we return to Maine. Would recommend them to anyone!
Annie was so great with our two pugs! They warmed to her immediately when they met her. She was super attentive and kept us posted while we were away on a trip. They can certainly be a handful, and she kept them busy and happy during her stay. Highly recommend!
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. 💗

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.
<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 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 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.
