“It was a pleasure to have Susan look after our cat, Mara, while we went on vacation. Upon meeting her, it was clear she really loves animals and wanted our pet to be calm and content while we were away. Susan's updates were prompt, detailed, and had lots of pictures. We came home to a very happy cat and would gladly book Susan again in the future!”
“Kimberly was fantastic, jumping right in to help take care of the cats when I had to rush off to the hospital with a heart attack! she even came to the hospital to get a house key”
“I consider my senior cats to be pretty difficult because they need meds twice a day and can be picky but Bri cared for them with ease! Her updates were wonderful and my cats seemed to really feel comfortable with her. Absolutely recommend Bri!”
“Alex is amazing!! She took care of our dog Skippy and cat Boo last night and we are so thankful for her. Our dog was comfortable with her immediately. Alex left the best notes and sent pictures during the drop in which left us feeling so relaxed while away from home. We won’t hesitate to request her again and again!!”
“Briana was so wonderful with my cats! She took the time to make them comfortable and then showered them in love and treats. She left such a cute note with how they did too!”

About: I've grown up with family dogs and have been involved in their daily care for years. Through that experience, I've learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular exercise, feeding on schedule, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos along the way! I'm currently working full-time, but I have availability on weeknights and weekends! I'm willing to work on holidays as well and am happy to accommodate the owner's needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences the pet has. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.
“Maryann is always so great with our two cats! We're currently stuck in the introductory phase and she proactively helped out by doing some scent swapping with our cats to help grow their comfort with each other while we were away.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them my entire life. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable with feeding routines, walking, handling different temperaments, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog like my own. School gets out June 25, until then I am available weekday evenings and weekends anytime! When school gets out, my schedule opens up and I am available Monday-Friday anytime! I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency when caring for pets in a client’s home. During drop-in visits and walks, I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and exercise. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and that your dog is safe at all times. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort levels and will adjust as needed to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I respect your home, keep things clean, and provide updates with photos so you feel confident while you’re away.
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
“Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”
About: New to here, but a lifelong dog person! I had my family dog for 16.5 years starting at 12 years old. 10 years ago I got my first big pup who did agility classes in his prime so I have experience with large, high-energy dogs. My 3rd adoptee is one of the large lazy ones, needing motivation to get his steps in! Currently living with my 9 year old medium pup who absolutely has some sass. I’m used to handling strong pullers, playful chaos, and dogs that like to test boundaries. I have experience helping friends and family with a variety of pet needs over the years. I’ll match your dog’s energy while keeping things safe, structured, and fun! I work full time during the week and have a pup of my own I care for. I have availability on weekends! Happy to spend time during my weekend to make sure yours goes off without a hitch! I am excellent at caring for your pet exactly how you would! I thrive on detailed instructions if you're a helicopter pet parent (like me!) or I can go with the flow if you're chill and confident with your furry family. Leashes, closed doors and gates, and lots of love will be priorities.

Another fantastic visit with Bri! It was such a relief knowing Max was in good hands while we were away. She was friendly, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. We came home to a content, well-cared-for cat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely book with Bri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Maryanne was absolutely amazing and a truly dedicated animal lover. When we did our initial meet before my first booking she was so professional and clearly cared about the welfare of my little (big) man (cat). When she was at my place I could see that my cat was so happy to be with her. She is the best! I will be using her as my regular drop in when I’m away!
Out of all the cat sitters we've used before, our cats bonded with Isabelle and legitimately look forward to her visits. Attentive, caring, and responsive service. She sends detailed reports and pictures and we were never in any doubt that our babies were well cared for. Highly recommend her.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rumford on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,819 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rumford. 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 Rumford 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 Rumford. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
