“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!”
“We love having Craig take care of our kitties while we’re gone. He is so considerate and is great with the cats. Fixed our cat’s water fountain that stopped working and still came out with 6+ inches of snow.”
“Rebecca is AWESOME! She’s extremely reliable, communicative, and attentive. My dog is a big stubborn boy who loves the cold and she endured his demeanor with care and resilience. Would 1000% recommend Rebecca, she knows her stuff and genuinely cares for your pet :)”
“Very grateful for Erin’s care of our young, high energy girl. Erin was very communicative & provided detailed updates on how she was doing while we were away for the day. We would absolutely have Erin back in the future. :)”
“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.”
“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”
“Nessa has watched my 2 cats twice now. She has done a great job! I appreciate the timely notes and photos, so I can see them while I'm gone. I would definitely recommend Nessa and will have her watch the boys again.”
About: Hi! My name is Anna and I live in the Midcoast Maine area. I’ve always loved animals and grew up around dogs. Spending time outside walking, hiking, and exploring is one of my favorite things, so getting to do that with dogs is even better. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, some playtime, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and will always follow your instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe and happy. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I make communication a priority and will always keep you updated. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I work a full-time schedule typically from 8:00am–4:00pm Monday through Friday, so my availability is outside of those hours. I’m available for early morning walks, evening walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting after work. I’m also available most weekends and have flexible availability then for longer visits, walks, or overnight care. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works best for their pet’s routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routes, and any special needs your pet may have. During walks I make sure dogs are secure on leash and supervised at all times. I treat every pet like my own and will send updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Richard was awesome! He was very responsive and took the time to learn about Ada and her anti-social ways. I didn’t worry a bit while I was away, knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely work with Richard again.”

Making animals feel safe and cared for makes me feel so fulfilled. I also have been bathing and doing regular grooming since I was old enough to understand how to. I’ve taken in strays and helped regime them or reunite them. I also took in and nursed back to health a kitty that I witnessed get hit by a car. Some special skills that I possess would be I’m very patient loving person who has a very big heart when it comes to animals and I can’t wait to have a future caring for them.

About: I have many years of experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and clients. I have also fostered a dog for a span of a couple weeks. Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I therefore have plenty of love and attention to give to every animal I care for. I enjoy keeping pets active with walks and outdoor play, spending quality time with them indoors, maintaining a clean environment, and, of course, rewarding them with treats when appropriate. I am a calm, dependable, and positive person who values routine and consistency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away :) I love routine and live by my planner to stay organized. I enjoy haveing animals apart of that rontine as well, while also understanding that every pet has unique needs and that some require more time and attention than others. I consistently have Wednesdays and Thursdays free all day. I'm also available for early morning visits and evening appointments, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has different needs, and I adjust my care to match their energy level, preferences, and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep water bowls full, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, companionship, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Avital was a great, reliable, and communicative sitter! They did drop in visits 3 times a day for my dog and rabbit, and I was always assured they were being cared for. Both animals warmed up to Avital very quickly and were completely comfortable with them coming into the house after we left.”
“Nishat aka The Cat Whisperer was incredible!! She took wonderful care of our cats and home while we were gone for 10 days. She sent pictures and updates which was fantastic. Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: I have no other commitments to keep me from this and I love animals.... whether walking around your neighborhood or whatever else the fur-baby needs I am currently between jobs so Ill have plenty of time to walk your dog, take care of your pet, whatever they need, I am here to help. I do not currently have a dog (I have a cat) but if I did, there is a pet park here at my apt complex

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Topsham
Amanda is EXCELLENT!!! She’s communicative, punctual, and clearly a seasoned pro when it comes to caring for cats (especially high maintenance/elderly ones like mine). Her visit summaries are incredibly thorough and detailed, with tons of pictures! Genuinely couldn’t recommend her more!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Topsham is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 871 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Topsham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
