“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!”
“Our dog is older and we hardly ever leave him home with a sitter. After being gone for a week, we arrived home to a happy dog who clearly had been well loved and taken care of while we were away. Victoria was great at communicating with us and I highly recommend her.”
About: Pet care isn’t just a job for me, it’s my whole life. I’ve always had furry friends around me growing up, and feel a special bond with any animal I come by. From puppyhood to senior snuggles, I’ve seen all stages, and adore every second of it! I am currently a second year in college at UNE, but I have a very flexible schedule and will do my absolute best at providing quality care and service for your fuzzy friend! I provide pets with the upmost care. I have 2 dogs at home, along with 4 cats, and my own ESA, so I understand the dynamics between all animals and provide them with the safest environment possible!
“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!”
“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!”
About: I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter! I love animals of all kinds but I feel especially comfortable with dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs (you'll see my family's dog in my profile picture!). I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for friends and family for years. I enjoy spending time outside and I am a very reliable worker. My priority is your dogs safety and comfort. I feel very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I have been interested in dog training since I was a kid. I have a flexible schedule so please let me know what works for you! I am looking forward to meeting your pup! I have a very flexible schedule right now! As a graduate student I am able to take on pet care during the day at any time. I am committed to ensuring your pet’s safety! I always make sure harnesses and collars are secure before leaving the house. I will always wear a mask as I come into the home!
“Sarah is wonderful! She stayed overnight with my dog for several days. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and energy level. She took her for long walks and to the dog park to run. She sent many photos and updates. I highly recommend!”
“Nishat did an amazing job watching our dog, Max! She was extremely communicative and sent us tons of adorable pictures. And she left our apartment way cleaner than she found it!”
“Laura was phenomenal with our dog Roxie. We think she is fabulous and will absolutely ask her to help us on our next trip. She is kind, caring and understands dogs. An added bonus is that she is an excellent photographer. She left us a beautiful card with print photos. In addition, she created an online album for us. Many of the shots are artistic and she was able to capture Roxie's character in addition to her good looks. Laura also took great care of the house. For us it is a bit unnerving to go away for 11 days and leave the house unattended. May I also add she was a great communicator throughout the whole process. Lovely lady and person. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney was a fabulous dog/housesitter for us staying with our dogs in our home for almost two weeks for our first time leaving the dogs alone without a family member. She was prompt, kind, courteous and kept us updated the whole time while our family took a bucket list vacation together. She left the house in great condition and spoiled the girls with snuggles and pets the whole time. Highly recommend her!!!! Thanks for allowing us to have a memorable trip without worrying about the house and dogs!!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I've had experience with a variety of animals, especially dogs! My family has always had at least one dog, all with varying sizes. I've endured it all from the ankle biters, the sweetest pitbulls and border collies, to the greatest of the danes. I'm currently a college student, so my evenings and weekends are free! Being stuck in a classroom gives me the fuel I need to go on a walk with your dog or experience (safe) zoomies with your cat. Summer time is usually great because it means more time outdoors for all of us! I'm currently unable to house your pets, but I can be with them in their favorite place- whether that be your home or on a walk!
“Ashley did another great job staying with our golden, Pearl. Nice to have the piece of mind that Pearl is being well taken care of AND that the house will be left clean and tidy. Thanks Ashley! We will definitely be in touch when we go on our next trip! Dave and Kelley”
About: I grew up with a giant chocolate lab & a beagle as my childhood dogs & I LOVED them, family of mine had a smalller mini pincher so I also know how smaller dogs can be compared to large dogs. While iI am at university I do have 3 dogs at home 2 rescues & 1 black lab they are my girls! I am a full time student at the local university but i am looking to fit in time with animals not only to enhance my knowledge of their behaviors & just general knowledge it’d also an easy way for me to learn the area & make money! I have administered shot & pill medications to both cats & dogs in the past, love to be active but also chill around & snuggle & LOOOOVE to make healthy bowls/snacks for animals!
“Heather was wonderful, my Husky pup seemed to feel very at ease with her and she understood him and his quirks very well. I also really appreciated all of the photos and updates she sent!”
“My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!”

Hannah was a great dog sitter! Rusty can be a challenge at times but Hannah was able to gain his trust. She met some of my neighbors and Rusty’s doggie friends too. The house was just the way I left it and Rusty had been well cared for while I was gone. I would highly recommend Hannah for dog/house sitting!
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!
Heather did such a great job at our house while we were away on an international trip. She sent photo updates and was always prompt to respond if we checked in with how things were going. She was very understanding of our dogs specific breed and we felt very at ease leaving him and our cat and chickens in her care. They seemed to have a great time with her and we came home to a very clean house which was lovely! This was our first time using an in home pet sitter and we would highly recommend Heather and her services!
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.
Taylor was great! This was our first time using rover and we we’re going to be out of the country for over 2 weeks. She came over and met our cat Panther before we left gave us confidence she was good either way cats. During the trip she gave us regular updates and the most important thing was Panther looked happy. Our only regret with Taylor is that she’s moving out of state. We cannot recommend her more highly!
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!
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. 💗

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Biddeford is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $96 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 649 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
