“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.”
“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!”
““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!””
“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:)”
“Stacey was a great example of being loving, gentle, and patient with my dog. He is very shy and protective, but she was able to build a friendship with him throughout the course of her day sitting. Very thankful for Stacey being so helpful and gentle with Ricardo. I recommend Stacey for anyone.”
“Nikki was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pancake and sent me updates and photos of her every single day. I knew she was in excellent hands and that helped me to relax even more on my vacation! I very much appreciated the effort and care she put into taking care of Pancake, and I know Pancake appreciated it too! I will 100% be reaching out to her again.”
“Tatertot was well cared for on these drop-in visits. Tatertot enjoys the attention given. Rose is detailed and communicative on the care given to Tatertot. Will rebook when schedule allows”
“Kara is always the best with our golden Cam! He always looks so happy in the pictures she sends, and it makes me so glad that he is having fun while we are away! 😊🐾🦮♥️”
“I was in a last minute punch after a cat sitter changed plans last minute. Nishat was exceptionally responsive and swooped in and saved the day! She also took great care of my kittens!”
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.
“Caroline is a kind, caring, and loving pet sitter! She is reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are comfortable and happy! My dogs loved her! She took great care of everyone, and I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Caroline!”
“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!”
“I was able to relax with peace of mind while Nicolette was at my house with my babies. She consistently updated me with pictures and videos and brought her son to help get some energy out with my crazy lab and I could see both of my dogs loved her and had the best time with her and her son.”
“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”
“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.”
“I definitely recommend Catey, particularly if your quadrupedal babes tend toward anxiety or need confident medication administration. This is the first sitter I've ever hired who wasn't already familiar with my cats and our home. I was nervous because of my boys needs medicated eye drops every 12 hours, which isn't his favorite thing by far, and he also generally takes a while to get comfortable with new people. Catey's super calm and solid demeanor was evident from the get-go, and this helped my boy a lot. Meds went off without a problem. Everything that needed doing for both cats was done, and my boys were chill as can be when I returned home. Catey was also super communicative and seemed like a solid, kind person in general. I couldn't ask for more from a sitter!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gorham on Rover is $28.86 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 1,032 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gorham. 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 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.

- 99% 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.
