“This was our first time leaving our bunnies home alone and Bri was great- followed care instructions perfectly and took lots of pictures so that we were comfortable that our buns were happy and eating well.”
“Michelle was attentive to Ham and the experience, even for what was simple check-ins/feedings. Appreciated her thoughtfulness and communicativeness during the time she was looking after him. Would recommend and book again!”
“We just booked Briana for the first time and we’re so happy we did! We moved between the time we met and she watched our cats and she went above and beyond to come meet the cats in both places. Grateful to have found her!”
“Heath did an amazing job watching our pups! I have 3 dogs and one is a senior dog with mobility issues. All the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Heath was also very communicative, and punctual with all the drop in times. We will absolutely book him again for future persisting needs!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover! I grew up with big dogs and I recently within the last few years adopted cats and fell completely in love. I have a strong connection to animals and good with their boundaries to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also been pet sitting since I was in high school. I’m a part time artist, (I paint pet portraits!) part time operational manager for another artist business which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I often have availability on a moments notice. I treat my cats like babies so you can expect me to do the same for your animals. If your pet needs me to sing them a little silly song while I make their dinner I will do it. I have a very calming presence animals tend to be drawn to. I respect their boundaries and allow them to feel safe with me before playing
“Our dog Fitz has a fair amount of anxiety, and our recent move to a new house made him even more nervous. We were worried about leaving him to travel, but Maryann really helped with those worries! She really wanted to get to know Fitz and his situation before we left, and worked really patiently to get him more comfortable. By the time we came back, Maryann had really brought him out of his shell! She truly cares for the dogs she watches, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pets to be loved and cared for when they travel. We've already booked her to take care of our dog again!”
“Alex is amazing!! So good with my fresh Pitbull Mikey, and a very trustworthy individual who i would definitely have watch him again. Wicked detailed Rover cards and photos, they made me feel like I knew what was going on, even when I was hundreds of miles away, it gave me a lot of peace of mind so I could enjoy myself. Thank you Alex!!”
“Annemarie took great care of our kitten and dog while we were away! She provided descriptive Rover cards with pics that gave us peace of mind that our furry friends were doing well at home. We would definitely recommend!”
“Joel was able to help us out on pretty short notice and even squeezed in a meet & greet before coming by later that night. He was great with our pup and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We appreciated Joel’s flexibility, communication, and care and would happily book again in the future. (:”
“Liana was an excellent caretaker. She immediately achieved my cat's trust and sent wonderful photos. Both cat and house were in excellent shape when I returned. I recommend her highly.”
“Kristine is absolutely amazing. She cared for my special needs bunny for a week while I was on vacation, and when he passed away suddenly, she was incredible. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“What wonderful experience! Could not recommend Nicole more! She was very communicative, sent pictures and took great care of my puppy! Will definitely be using her again to care for Pedey! Thank you so much! ❤️”
“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!”
“Stephanie was extremely professional and responsive when taking care of my cat. It’s clear from her photos and messages that she really took time to create a rapport with my cat, and that she genuinely enjoys animals. I will definitely contact her for future pet care!”
“Renee saved us when our planned pet sitter had a last minute emergency and could no longer come to our home to let out & feed our senior dog. Renee had no issue with such a last minute appointment and was absolutely wonderful. She asked great questions, kept us updated with her visit and took amazing care of our senior who has mobility issues.”
“Crystal is an AMAZING cat-sitter — five stars honestly isn’t enough!! From the very beginning she was super quick to respond and so easy to communicate with. Every single day she sent the best detailed updates with photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She truly went above and beyond — not only did she manage our cat’s diabetic care perfectly (special food and insulin shots handled flawlessly!), but she even left us a framed photo of our cat. Who does that?! 🥹 When we got home, we could tell our cat genuinely missed Crystal — which says everything. We feel so lucky to have found her and would book her again in a heartbeat!”

Isabelle was incredibly trustworthy. Did everything I requested and more. Lots of cute pictures of my cat showing how comfortable and content she made my senior lady feel. Communication was great, came on time. Isabelle is my go to cat sitter from now on. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you!
Briana was more than fantastic! She sent super thoughtful recaps, fantastic photos, and I can tell she really loved hanging with my two very attention starved cats! She was incredibly on point and showed up at the exact time requested and was super easy to communicate with leading up to the booking. Could not recommend her more!!!
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!
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 September 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rumford. On Rover:

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.
