“Robin has been so great to work with. She is quick to respond to messages, and confirm details. She was amazing with our dogs, making sure to give our high energy pup lots of time to run around. Both dogs were tired out when we got home, they clearly had a good time with Robin and enjoyed being out in the yard for the time she was visiting. The reports and photos were so nice to receive. We will definitely be contacting Robin again!”
“Caroline is the best. I feel completely at ease knowing she's taking Waylon for a walk or just sitting with him. He looks forward to her visits, and I love knowing she's available when I'm working a long day. Thank you Rover for introducing us!”
“Craig and Chelsea took phenomenal care of our kitties and chickens while we were away. They are always thoughtful and communicative, and I know our pets will be safe in their care. Thank you!”
“Milo did a great job caring for our fur babies while we were away. He was communicative and responsive before and during our vacation. He even asked about favorite hiding spots for my extremely shy cat so he could make sure she was okay when she wouldn’t come out to eat with the rest! I highly recommend Milo and would definitely rebook if the need arises.”
About: Hi! My name is Joe. I have previously worked as a pet sitter/walker during my Ph.D. studies and am returning to working here, as I have really enjoyed my experience as a pet sitter/walker. I was raised with animals of all kinds (dogs/cats, farm animals) and raised my own two wonderful dogs, Gally and Jackie through old age. I hope that I can make your own pets feel loved and cared for, and look forward to meeting them! I am currently working on becoming a writer, so I have a lot of time to spare, and have a very open schedule as of right now. I will make sure to be clear if that changes. I’m very attentive to detail and will make sure that all care needs are outlined in the meet and greet and I’m comfortable with your home set-up.
“Jenna was totally reliable even when a foot of snow dumped on Brunswick. My cats were obviously well-taken care of but happy to see their cat-mom again. Whole-heartedly recommend Jenna - very pleasant and obviously caring.”
“Brandon took fantastic care of my poodle, Saturn! He was reliable, attentive, and clearly great with dogs. Saturn loved spending time with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave, and I would absolutely hire Brandon again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving our cat and we were gone for over 8 days. Stephanie gave daily reports, uploaded photos, and let us know about any concerns. She even offered a spare water fountain for our cat when she diligently noticed he wasn’t drinking a lot of water. He’s happy we are home now, but makes me feel better we now have a great cat sitter for our next trip.”
“Brooke was wonderful to work with. We needed someone last minute while on vacation and she was able to quickly accommodate us and our four dogs. She was kind enough to call and FaceTime first to put us at ease. She communicated well throughout the day and sent pictures. Thanks for everything!”
About: Over the years I have cared for not only my 4 pets but many of my friends and neighbors pets as well. I love animals and will be a kind, caring and loving pal to yours! Any day and anytime! I can do over night if pets need some company or just checking in on them during the day and taking them for walks. Taking them on walks, feeding them and playing with them! Can also provide basic training and care for younger animals including crate and leash behavior.
“So happy to have found Kourtney! She communicates quickly, sent pictures and a video of Kiwi, and was really helpful with a fairly last minute booking. Definitely would use her again and highly recommend.”
About: I am recently retired and am just starting out with the Rover. com work platform. My ideal work will involve helping families care for their pets when they can't be there to care for them themselves. I have been in this position with my pets several times and know how stressful it can be to trust somebody that you don’t know to care for your dog or cat family member. I have always had dogs and cats as part of my family, including special needs pets. I currently have one dog with special needs (IVDD and reactivity.) I would be happy to talk with you to see if I can meet the needs of you and your pet. Because I am retired I am fairly flexible with my schedule. However, due to my own pet , I am not available for overnight care or boarding. In addition, I travel a fair amount. So, I am best suited for occasional/one time/short term or fill-in type jobs. I currently have a dog who has physical limitations and reactivity. Because of this, I am unable to board a dog or cat in my home. I am also not available to overnight pet sit in your home.
“Rebecca was punctual and kind. Our dogs told us that she walked them around and they were happy to have her visit. Rebecca sent us pics and updates and we really appreciated her visits.”
“Rebecca is very attentive to Leo’s needs and I am at peace when I work a double knowing someone spends time with him and makes sure he gets a good walk around my apartment complex.”
“We’ve had Maricela watch our cats a number of times now and always feel confident that they will be well looked after. She always makes sure to keep us updated and sends lots of great pictures. We are very thankful for the great care she takes with our pets!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Topsham is $25

Caroline was fantastic! Our dogs love her and she sent lots of updates and pictures. It is so great to be able to relax when I’m away from home- knowing that someone who loves dogs is stopping by to take care of them so I don’t have to rush home. Will definitely be using Caroline again!
This was our first time leaving our cat and we were gone for over 8 days. Stephanie gave daily reports, uploaded photos, and let us know about any concerns. She even offered a spare water fountain for our cat when she diligently noticed he wasn’t drinking a lot of water. He’s happy we are home now, but makes me feel better we now have a great cat sitter for our next trip.
Julie is a fantastic pet sitter. We were confident in leaving our kitties in her care from the moment we met. It is so comforting to receive her cheerful and reassuring messages while traveling far from home. We hope we can invite Julie to pet sit for us again the next time we travel.
This was our first booking with Craig & Chelsea, and it was an excellent experience. Finding care for our senior diabetic cat can be difficult. They are experienced with insulin injections and glucose monitoring, and knew the signs of danger to watch for. They are also very thorough and reliable in their communication, and most importantly, treated our cat with so much care. It was a such a relief to know he was in kind and capable hands!
Cori is a wonderful with our dog Juno. She is a puppy in her adolescent years and fairly new to us. We are working on all parts of her training and Cori is super patient with her and we really appreciate that. Our dog really looks forward to her weekly meetings with Cori and we are so happy we have a resource to help us with check ins and walks. Overall, wonderful experience and would highly recommend!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
