““Lyndsay was great! She was responsive, sent a ton of photos of our babies, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We don’t have the easiest five-animal household, but Lyndsay handled everything with ease. She also did a wonderful job administering medication to one of our 5-month-old kitten, which gave us extra peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her!””
“Lisa is so good with Franklin! She is super punctual, very caring, and completely adheres to our care instructions. Also, love the photos she always sends of our pup. I would highly recommend her!”
“Looked after our girl great. Stacey was communicative and responsive. Even made sure, per instructions, that our kitty got just a little bit of ice cream. Stacey was great.”
“My kitties are usually very anxious, but Melissa took such good care of them that they didn't have a single "accident," they're happy, full, and most importantly, they are social and comfortable around her. I will be asking Melissa to visit them in the future, if her schedule allows. Thia is one of the most stress-free out of state trips I had, all thanks to her.”
“Christina has been great with our dog! This is the first time we've tried having a dog sitter come take care of our big, energetic doofus, and she's been very patient with our questions and hesitation. It's the humans who were nervous - it's clear that our doggo loves her. But now our minds are at ease and we are happy to have Christina's help! Thanks so much, Christina!”
“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”
“Nikki provided the best of care for Po. I couldn’t be happier with the service. She provided fantastic updates with photos. I felt Po was well taken care of and I couldn’t enjoy my weekend away. Five stars thank you⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Rose went above and beyond for a drop in visit for my 2 very different dogs. Washing and refilling their water dishes, giving them a brush and some good outside time.”
“Nicolette was prompt and engaged with our baby Cash during their visit. My wife and I were pleased by her updates and the way she treated Cash. Will definitely use again.”
“Kara helped us feel at ease while we were away on vacation for a week by providing lots of pictures and comments each time she dropped in on our dog Zeus. She was very communicative, accommodating, and understanding. The day before we left, Zeus had signs of an ear infection, and Kara gladly took on the extra ask of applying ear drops while we were gone. Kara was also always punctual and arrived when scheduled. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Nishat aka The Cat Whisperer was incredible!! She took wonderful care of our cats and home while we were gone for 10 days. She sent pictures and updates which was fantastic. Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: I've always had a dog throughout my entire life. At this current moment, I have 28 pets which include 1 dog, 1 bunny, 1 goat, 2 goats, and 23 chickens. During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs. If needed I can stay overnight with your pet to make sure he gets all of his bathroom breaks, water, and food!!
“Sara was wonderful and super communicative! Our pets really liked her (and we trust their judgment the most). Both our dog and cat seemed comfortable with her! We will be booking again for sure:)”
“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”
About: I grew up with dogs most of my life. I love caring for animals. Up until recently, we owned a beagle mix named Randi. I would spend time walking trails, at the beach, around the neighborhood. I would also play with toys inside with him, throw the ball. It does not matter the weather for me. I have cared for dogs of all ages. Up until recently, my schedule consisted of walking our dog in the morning, and then a second time at night. I would also take him outside to sunbathe during the afternoon when available. I treat your pet like I would my own. I am happy to accommodate to any special needs or instructions you may have when walking. I make sure they are safe, happy while on walks.
About: I’ve taken care of numerous breeds of dogs and cats for 8+ years with 5 years of sitting being professional. I have experience with pregnant, nursing, newborn, young, and old dogs and cats! I grew up living on a farm with acreage and 2 current German Shepherds, but am familiar with owning 5 dogs at a a time and caring for up to 10-20 dogs and puppies at a time (I worked with a breeder for about a year once)! Whilst living on a farm I’m also very familiar with cats and kittens! I’ve sat for a private rescue with 20+ cats and am used to giving medication, watching the elderly, and caring for the kittens! I have a lot of patience and anything new that I haven’t seen is a new challenge for me to learn! I currently nanny in the afternoons, so outside of that I am free to love on your furbabies whenever you are away! I know how important pet care can be! I treat every furbaby and their home with respect! If I am staying over I will make sure that everything is kept clean and safe, especially for the pets that I will be watching over! I don’t do pet stays at my apartment unfortunately! If I’m coming in and out of a home, I make sure that safety for you and your home is my priority.
“Anna was great! She took care of our dog and reported back very thoroughly. He was such a happy camper - highly recommend using Anna to care for your fur baby.”
“Sara is wonderful, her attention to detail, thoughtful communication is one of my favorite qualities. Tatertot was well taken care of on her drop in visits. We will rebook, when she has availability. Your pets are in good hands! I highly recommend”
“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”

Christina was awesome! She cared for our two cats while we were away for the weekend and was kind and communicative throughout. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our trip knowing our kitties were in great hands. This was our first time booking with Christina, and we would definitely hire her again!

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 Gorham 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 Gorham. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
