“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 :)”
“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.”
“Stephanie was wonderful with my two cats! She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me photos of them everyday. It was so nice to go away and know they were being well taken care of.”
“Brooke was wonderful to work with. We needed someone last minute while on vacation and she was able to quickly accommodate us and our four dogs. She was kind enough to call and FaceTime first to put us at ease. She communicated well throughout the day and sent pictures. Thanks for everything!”
“Charlotte was an amazing sitter for my kitty cat! She left detailed descriptions of each visit and took lots of photos so I knew exactly how Jimmy was doing. I didn't have to worry a moment and could enjoy my vacation knowing he was well taken care of and getting the attention my social boy needs!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Craig and Chelsea took phenomenal care of our kitties and chickens while we were away. They are always thoughtful and communicative, and I know our pets will be safe in their care. Thank you!”
“Amazing to work with! She provided excellent care for my 2 cats while I was traveling as well as kept me up to date. She was flexible and understanding of my travel.”
“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!”
About: I am a flexible working professional. Most of my family members have either a dog or a cat that I have taken care of for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs no matter the size or breed. I am a previous collegiate student-athlete and am still very active, so playing with your pets and taking them for walks is right up my ally. I am happy to help with house sitting, dropping by, or taking them for a walk. I look forward to helping you out with your care needs for your pets and spending time with them. I am currently in the off-season of my full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. I will need to travel some weekends for work, but besides that I am flexible during the week and on weekends. My priority is to respect a client's home and provide the best care for their animals. I create an atmosphere built on trust and dependability.
“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.”
About: I grew up with two unruly labs (loves, but not the best behaved) and love all dogs and cats. In middle school I ran a successful pet sitting business in my neighborhood. I love to spend extra time hanging out with pets because I know it’s hard for them to be away from family. I am a recent college graduate working on my graduate school applications so I have ample time to dedicate to your animal’s needs and wellbeing! I have great attention to detail and will follow your instructions to a T regarding your pets needs. It’s hard enough for a pet to be away from their parents, why add to that stress? I like to meet dogs before I sit for them to become a familiar face and smell. I will provide a sense of routine for your animal and operate on their usual schedule so that their routine is as uninterrupted as possible.
“Lena was amazing when we left our kitty at home for a couple of weeks. Klaus is really shy but she took great care of him and even coaxed him out of his hiding spot! Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs large and smalle large (grate Danes). Love all dogs. Will work with people if paying will be an issue. Just message me in advance! I can work with you in the early morning or in the late afternoon for them. My work schedule is set and dose not change. I have 2 of my own pets esa certified. I have advanced first aid training and love to take them on long walks if they need it!
“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.”
About: I have cared for pets for as long as I can remember and have always had a loved dog in the house. I also grew up on a farm from around 13 to 18, caring for barn cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, geese, and dogs. My life has always been centered around animals, and even when I went to university, I focused on animal care, attaining an Animal Studies major. I truly have a passion for animals, and would say they have always been a major part of my life. I am currently an intern for Coral Restoration Foundation, so my schedule changes weekly. I am extremely passionate about nature and animals, and I moved to Key Largo with my two babies. I am able to take care of your loved pets either before or after my shifts or on my days off! I have two of my own pups, 5-year-old Corgi and a 10-month-old Cocker Spaniel, who have a big yard to play in. They love to go on walks and car rides with me and are crate-trained. My place is typically in a state of a "puppy playpen" due to their scattered toys. My pups are almost always included in my outting if they can come and are huge part of my day to day life.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bowdoinham on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 532 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bowdoinham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bowdoinham stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bowdoinham. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
