“Our almost 1yr old golden retriever Josie loved her 4 night stay with Nick and his family! Nick was caring, thoughtful, and communicative. Josie definitely enjoyed relaxing and sleeping next to Nick’s son. Nick even went above and beyond to bring Josie to our wedding day nearby his home—we couldn’t thank him enough. We would highly recommend Nick to any dog owner!”
About: After losing my best friend, Benjamin Franklin, a 13.5 year old Lab mix, in May, I’ve decided to open my heart and home to caring for other dogs. I got Ben from a rescue when he was just 12 weeks old and spent the latter half of his life caring for his complex medical needs, including medications, specialized nutrition, and significant mobility assistance toward the end. I miss him dearly, and I know just how much our dogs mean to us. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and am comfortable with administering medications and extra care needs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention in my quiet, cozy home. I also love getting outside for walks and hikes and would love some company! Your dog will be welcomed with lots of love, patience, and snuggles. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident that they’ll be treated like family while you’re away. I currently work from home full-time M-F, so your pup would have company all day! I can board pretty much any day of the week, schedule lunchtime walks and will ensure your dog has what they need to be comfortable and happy. I have a large yard that is partially fenced, but dogs are always leashed when outside and never left unsupervised. I am close to many walking trails that allow a longer, leashed walk if a short car ride is agreeable. Dogs are allowed on the bed and couches if that is the rule at their home. I make it a point to prioritize their comfort and minimize any stress they may feel in a new environment.
“Diamond was absolutely amazing with our dog, and we truly could not have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in loving, caring, and responsible hands. She went above and beyond with updates, attention, and genuine care, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. What really stood out was her kindness, patience, and professionalism. She treated our dog like family, and that means everything to us. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says it all. We are beyond grateful for Diamond and would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly wonderful with animals, Diamond is the one. We would absolutely love to book with her again in the future!”
“We were on vacation with our puppy and needed a sitter. Kyle & Kaleigh were absolutely the best! Fritz had a terrific day hanging out with them at their house. He played all day with their dog, Izzy. They provided an update and even sent a video. I would highly recommend them! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Katie was great with our lab Oscar! We went away for a long weekend and she treated him like her own. It was wonderful knowing he was in great hands and having a good time.”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”
“Carmen was kind and understanding with our dog. And overall just seems like a very nice person. She worked with us on dropoff and pickup and was pretty flexible. Figo seemed to have a lot of fun with her. She has a nice house and overall it seemed she lived in a dog friendly neighborhood so definitely recommend boarding with her.”
“Kseniia took great care of my dog. She sent daily updates and photos and was very responsive when I contacted her. I would absolutely have her care for my dog again.”
“Michelle was amazing! We booked for a last minute need and we felt so thankful she was available to watch our pup. Michelle communicated all throughout the stay with updates and our dog was so calm and happy when we picked her up after days with Michelle. We will definitely be using her for future dog sitting needs!”
About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.
“Nicole took care of our sweet Clifford for eight days while we traveled to Mexico, and we honestly could not have asked for a better experience. My husband and I are both active duty military, and knowing Clifford was in such loving, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. From day one, Nicole went above and beyond — she sent daily updates without ever being asked, letting us know exactly how Clifford was doing and what he’d been up to. Because of her, we never once had to wonder, “What is Clifford doing right now?” or “Is he having a good time?” — we already knew. Clifford was clearly happy, cared for, and loved as if he were her own. Nicole’s communication, attentiveness, and genuine care are unmatched. We are moving away this summer and are truly heartbroken that we didn’t find Nicole years ago when we first moved here. Any pet parent would be incredibly lucky to have her. We cannot recommend Nicole enough! Thank you, Nicole, for taking such amazing care of our boy. 💙”
“We felt very fortunate that Amybeth was available to watch Maizy for the first time when we were traveling to see family in CT for a weekend in December. She read Maizy’s profile, asked questions and offered a meet and greet. When we arrived, it was obvious how much of a dog person Amybeth is!! She told Maizy she could explore her home and go anywhere. Maizy went in the living room then upstairs then back down and back up. LOL Seeing our shy Maizy feeling so comfortable and taking a treat from Amybeth totally set us at ease. Daily updates kept me relaxed, knowing Maizy was having fun, too! We highly recommend Amybeth and look forward to booking with her in the future!’”
About: I have worked as a dog groomer and have volunteered at shelters. Every animal should be treated with respect and kindness. Grooming and volunteering helped also in getting familiar with signs that a dog might be in distress. I work a full time job during the week but my afternoons are free. I also am always home on the weekends so doing this on the weekends would be perfect. I love all pets but sadly I am allergic to most cats. Dogs on the other hand can roam around my residence freely. Which includes beds, as long as they are comfortable and safe I can accommodate to any breed.
“Shirley took great care of our two dogs ( 4yr old and 12yr old) while we were on vacation. They came home looking happy and we were thankful for the good care and ongoing photos and updates she was providing us with.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Bald Head is $63
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bald Head
Here's how I know my dog had a great time with Nick.... He was excited to see me at pickup, but not freaked out. He's been more social and more relaxed with other dogs since his time with Nick's cavalcade of dogs (that's a great thing). -and he didn't come home smelling like a kennel. It's taken a few tries to find the right place for my dog to go while I'm away... This one was juuuust right.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Bald Head can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bald Head home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bald Head.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bald Head. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
You and your Bald Head sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ME ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
