“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
“Bri has been a wonderful cat sitter for my boys and I’ve rebooked her a few times now and plan to continue to! I read all her little cards detailing the visit and it gives me such peace of mind while I’m traveling. Thanks Bri!”
“I'm so grateful for Maryann's care for my cat during regular drop-in visits over the past couple of weeks! I was far away and Maryann's clear communication, quick responses, dependability, photo updates, and journal-style descriptions of her visits gave me such peace of mind ?. I knew from learning about her previous experience that Maryann is a wonderful caretaker, and that was exactly my own personal experience with her as a petsitter for my cat - wonderful! I am so grateful to have made this connection, and to have a caring new friend for my kitty for those times when I am not around to care for him myself. Thank you Maryann! ??”
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”
“Working with Stephanie is always easy and seamless. This week she had to administer some medication for my cat and it went very well for my cat (a few scratches for Stephanie 😅) Thanks for all your hard work!”
About: I adopted my dog when he was two and trained him to become the calm, well-mannered gentleman he is today. Now a senior, he’s an expert at finding the best spot on the floor and supervising the household from there. Caring for him has taught me the patience, attentiveness, and extra support older dogs need. I’m dependable, observant, and committed to following each pet’s routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog prefers long walks, slow strolls, playtime, or professional-level napping, I’ll treat them like my own. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because spending time with animals is genuinely one of the best parts of my day. I plan my schedule carefully so every visit gets the time and attention it deserves... never rushed or squeezed in as an afterthought. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, arrive when expected, and keep you updated while you’re away. I know consistency helps pets feel safe, especially when dinner is served three minutes late and they’re considering filing a formal complaint. Safety and trust come first. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely, respect the space, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure. I know from my own dog's personality that pets are not always committed to the honor system. I’ll maintain their usual feeding, walking, and playtime routines while giving them the patience and attention they need to feel comfortable. In my home, any introductions to my calm senior dog would be slow and supervised, with separate spaces available for meals and rest. I’ll also provide honest updates so you can relax knowing your pet and home are being treated with genuine care and respect.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with a family dog, which gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my family dog, I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine, respecting their unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to providing attentive care, regular updates, and plenty of affection so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. During the school year, I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekdays after 5:00 p.m. and throughout the weekends. During the summer, I have significantly more flexibility and availability, allowing me to dedicate even more time to pet care. No matter the season, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet receives the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I always communicate with owners and follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), and any other special care their pet may need. In my home, pets have a comfortable environment with a spacious living room for playtime and a separate room where they can relax or have quiet time if needed. My apartment also has convenient dog relief areas, and there are several nearby parks where dogs can enjoy safe walks, exercise, and fresh air. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease.
“Great communication and clearly has an enthusiasm and love for animals. We felt Delaney took great care of our beloved tortie. Look forward to booking you again in the future =]”
“Briana watched our sweet, shy cat Bob for a week while we were out. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver and houseguest! Briana sent us regular updates with adorable photos, details about Bob's meals, administered his every-other-day oral medication, and generally helped us rest assured that he was in great hands. I continue to highly recommend Briana to cat parents out there, especially ones with anxious kitties who can be shy.”
“Allyssah was great with my three dogs during her drop in visits. She took the time to meet them while I was home prior to the visits and was very friendly and asked good questions to make sure she was prepared. She was very punctual and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would book her again!”
“Alexa was a sweetheart!! We had to be somewhere for the day, and we called last minute, and luckily she obliged. She dropped as promised. I cannot say enough about Alexa. She is so responsible and helpful. We will definitely hire her again. Joge/Norma”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with my shy, retiring cat. She knows how kitties work and was able to entice her out. She was easy to connect with and gave great updates to make the fur Mom happy. I will be booking her again.”
“Shane was great! He helped us out last-minute with taking out our golden retriever while we were at work. He was great with communicating, and sent us some pictures of our happy girl while he was outside with her! Thanks so much Shane, will definitely be using you again.”

Kassidy was great! She looked after me and my roommates cats over the weekend. I was nervous leaving my cats for the first time with someone I didn’t know but Kassidy was great with them. She provided us with updates and plenty of pictures. The cats were in great spirits when we came home. Highly recommend!
My kitties are always in good hands with Melissa! She goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy, entertained, and kept looking their best! It’s summer and Melissa made sure the coats for both my short and long haired cats were well maintained while we were gone for an extended amount of time.
I travel for work and Kristine is my go-to to watch my 10 year old rag doll cat who can be pretty high maintenance at times (kitty ibs). Kristine is quite literally the best and I know that whatever happens Kristine can handle it and keep me posted in a timely manner. You’d be a silly goober to not book with them!
Stephanie gives our boys the best care possible. I never have to worry about them while we’re away. They’re in the best hands. She’s adept at giving one of my boys his medicine twice a day. She plays with them and pets them and spends a good amount of time with them. She’s the best!
Delaney did an amazing job with our cats. They can a little timid with new people but they quickly warmed up to her. We have one that requires different medication at different times and she handled the schedule easily.. She even played with them for a bit and of course sent pics. The boxes were taken care of and asked questions if needed. We really appreciate all the time and care she showed them. We hope to work with her again. Thank you!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rumford on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
