“Matthew is great, and I already booked him again. When I come home, my dog Pilot is happy and freshly walked. It is making my surgery recovery much less stressful. I really appreciate his updates after walks!”
“Christina is reliable, communicative, and great with our dogs. We so appreciate the care she took with them and her joyful approach to puppy care! We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Mae is fantastic! She’s amazing with my 80 pound shepherd and little golden doodle. She was open to whatever routine was best for my dogs with ball playing and walks, and is a positive, helpful part of our daily routine. Highly recommend!”
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!
“Andy has been walking my dog fairly regularly for over 6 months now and I can’t recommend him enough. He is always timely in his response and communicates very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a loving and responsible dog walker.”
About: Mom of two little kids with my own two goldens and two cats. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 14 and had my first dog of my own (usually two at a time) since I was 22. I’m extremely passionate about all animals and I’d be honored to give your pets the same loving attention as my own! Can’t wait to go for walks or drop in to break up a long day alone inside. Please reach out to me 😊 I’m currently a stay at home mom with availability during the day when my kids are at school. Would love to give your pet a walk or attention during those hours. I take animal care very seriously. Safety on walks is the most important thing for your animal and I have tons of experience with this with all different types of harnesses and leashes.
About: I have no other commitments to keep me from this and I love animals.... whether walking around your neighborhood or whatever else the fur-baby needs I am currently between jobs so Ill have plenty of time to walk your dog, take care of your pet, whatever they need, I am here to help. I do not currently have a dog (I have a cat) but if I did, there is a pet park here at my apt complex
“Thank you for taking the time for a meet & greet before we confirmed dog walking. Leo and I both appreciate the care you provide for him and the prompt responses when coordinating times for dog walks”
About: Hi, my name is Oksana, I'm an animal lover and i would take them all in. I'm ready to care for your pups and give them what they need. I have taken care of pups from st. Bernard size to dachshund size. I have taken care of aggressive dogs and dogs that have had a litter of puppies. I also have a cat and am comfortable with watching your cats as well. I love to walk and exercise if that's what your dog is needing.
“Nicolette is the best! I used her as my regular dog walker during my long work shifts and would highly recommend her. She took great care of my dog, always taking him on great walks. She gives the best Rover report cards with great photos and excellent communication. I’m only in Maine for a short period of time, but will definitely use her again if we are ever back in town.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their people are away. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I’m dependable, attentive to the little things, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions. My goal is simply to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for pet care on Wednesdays, when I work remotely, as well as on weekends. My weekday availability is more limited since I’m in the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, but I’m happy to work with your schedule when I can. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow your care instructions, and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive during walks and visits and will always be mindful of their surroundings and individual needs.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life—from Cavapoos to Corgis to Wheaten Terriors to Doodles, to Boxers! I’ve also had the pleasure of having a Goldendoodle of my own as well! My sweet pup was in an accident and required lots of specific care such as wound care and medication administration for many months. I am a very patient and dedicated pet sitter and will treat your pet like my own. I’ll keep them safe, make sure they get the attention they need, and assure that you get the updates you crave while away from your bestie. I absolutely love animals and I also know how challenging it can be to have peace of mind while maintaining your life responsibilities outside of your furry friends—I hope to have the opportunity to take that stress off of your plate! I’m currently in grad school for Speech Language Pathology (classes are online until January 2027) and work per diem at the hospital. I have two shifts per week serving at a restaurant in Portland as well, they are typically 6-8 hour shifts so if booked for an overnight, there may be a day or two that I am away for that amount of time! Otherwise, my schedule is super flexible and perfect for that mid day potty and play break! Safety is first! You tell me how you like things to go in your home and what makes your pet the most comfortable and I’ll make sure it happens! Let me know if your pet has any anxieties in public and I’ll keep in mind ways to keep them happy and calm on walkies!
“I have a zoomie little dog who Jack took great care of on two last minute walks. Jack responded quickly to the request which was a relief when needing to book something in an emergency. Finn even got in a little jogging and cuddles. Thank you, Jack!”

About: I have had tons of experience working with animals. I used to volunteer at the animal refuge league of greater portland. I love all animals small and large! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine! I have flexibility throughout the day for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life, and I love being able to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs! I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owners. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them, respect their boundaries, and pay attention to their body language.
About: I had a dog of my own and have been dog sitting for friends for years. I’m not afraid to give meds and clean up messes. More than happy to help :) Currently, I am working part time at a dispensary and am a traveling hairstylist and need to make more money. I’ve definitely got time to help :) My dog got a daily allergy pill in the morning before his 10min walk. I cleaned his ears once a week … unfortunately, he was prone to ear infections so I had to keep a close eye on them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Gorham is $23 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Gorham. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Gorham after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gorham. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
