“Rebecca is AWESOME! She’s extremely reliable, communicative, and attentive. My dog is a big stubborn boy who loves the cold and she endured his demeanor with care and resilience. Would 1000% recommend Rebecca, she knows her stuff and genuinely cares for your pet :)”
“Charlotte was great with our 7 month old kitten, Ella! We left detailed instructions and she followed them perfectly, and made time to play as well. Ella seemed very comfortable with Charlotte from the photos that were shared after each drop in so will definitely be re-booking in the future!”
“Brooke was terrific! She sent us plenty of photos, kept us up-to-date on our diabetic cat and was very comfortable calling or texting with questions (since we hadn't provided all of the answers). She was on time and extremely caring. We'll definitely be hiring her again.”
“We had Lena watch our cat, Bear, and she did the most wonderful job! From the moment we returned home, it was clear how well he had been cared for—he even seemed to be looking around for her. Lena was responsible, caring, and very loving toward Bear, and we could tell he was in the best hands. We’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Amanda became our high maintenance cat's BFF immediately and treated him like the royalty he is! Playtime, treats, and making sure all his special food needs were met - she did it all.”
“Rebecca was punctual and kind. Our dogs told us that she walked them around and they were happy to have her visit. Rebecca sent us pics and updates and we really appreciated her visits.”
“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”
“This was our first time leaving our cat and we were gone for over 8 days. Stephanie gave daily reports, uploaded photos, and let us know about any concerns. She even offered a spare water fountain for our cat when she diligently noticed he wasn’t drinking a lot of water. He’s happy we are home now, but makes me feel better we now have a great cat sitter for our next trip.”
“Jenna was totally reliable even when a foot of snow dumped on Brunswick. My cats were obviously well-taken care of but happy to see their cat-mom again. Whole-heartedly recommend Jenna - very pleasant and obviously caring.”
“Jonas has been great with our cat, spending videos and keeping us updated. They also waded through 17” of snow when we were out of town to feed our cat, and changed around their schedule to bring a package in for us before the snow came. Would highly recommend!”
“Amy was excellent with Ollie. She sent photos and a report after every visit and I could tell from the photos that Ollie liked her… he is usually stand-offish with strangers. Came home to clean counters, clean litter-box, rinsed out cat food cans in the recycling bin, and a happy cat. Will definitley ask Amy to care for Ollie in the future.”
“Maricela was the perfect sitter for our cats! We felt so much better knowing our cats had someone coming and checking in on them every day. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Milo did a great job caring for our fur babies while we were away. He was communicative and responsive before and during our vacation. He even asked about favorite hiding spots for my extremely shy cat so he could make sure she was okay when she wouldn’t come out to eat with the rest! I highly recommend Milo and would definitely rebook if the need arises.”
About: I am recently retired and am just starting out with the Rover. com work platform. My ideal work will involve helping families care for their pets when they can't be there to care for them themselves. I have been in this position with my pets several times and know how stressful it can be to trust somebody that you don’t know to care for your dog or cat family member. I have always had dogs and cats as part of my family, including special needs pets. I currently have one dog with special needs (IVDD and reactivity.) I would be happy to talk with you to see if I can meet the needs of you and your pet. Because I am retired I am fairly flexible with my schedule. However, due to my own pet , I am not available for overnight care or boarding. In addition, I travel a fair amount. So, I am best suited for occasional/one time/short term or fill-in type jobs. I currently have a dog who has physical limitations and reactivity. Because of this, I am unable to board a dog or cat in my home. I am also not available to overnight pet sit in your home.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Bowdoinham is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bowdoinham
Olivia is fantastic! Had a fabulous meet and great with me and my animals the week beforehand. She was punctual, sent great updates, and always very caring. My dog still has some puppy energy and Olivia was patient and kind. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone who loves their pet and wants to make sure their pet still gets some love while they're away from home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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.
