“Kymberly and Robert always do such a great job with my Mala. Mala is 15 years old now and has stayed with them many times. She always knows when I pack her travel bag that she will get to vacation with them, and she gets so excited! Ours dogs are family, and it can be hard to leave them, but I never have any concerns whatever when I leave Mala with Kymberly and Robert. They are my trusted sitters!”
“We could not ask for a better dog sitter for our good boy! Elisabeth is truly a little dog whisperer—so caring, patient, and incredibly attentive to every detail. From the moment I met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs and understands their individual personalities and needs. She keeps us updated with lots of adorable photos and makes sure our dog felt completely at home, relaxed, and loved. The fun adventures she took them on made it feel like a real doggy vacation, not just a stay. Our dog comes home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It gives us total peace of mind to know our pup is in such loving and capable hands. We will 100% continue to book with Elisabeth again and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter! 🐾💛”
“Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.”
“Emily and Kieran took such good care of our Wendy girl and their dog is a total sweetie. We got multiple pupdates of various adventures and nap times multiple times a day. It was clear she was well cared for which was a huge relief as we just moved to the area! Could not recommend them more!”
About: 35 years of experience caring for dogs, puppies, kittens & cats. I’m good with anxious dogs & scaredy cats. I have a flexible schedule, let me know how I can help. I am currently doing Rover full-time. For many years i have lived in homes with pets and helped care for them. Currently living in a home with 1 cat, 1 dog, and 12 chickens. We also do doggy day care and do boarding- so we keep pretty busy. I always walk dogs on their leashes. I make sure to keep medications and other harmful things locked away. We have a fenced in yard, but i’m always out there with them. I try to take as good care for your animals as if they were my own.
“Christina was an amazing sitter for my little pup! She was so communicative and I was so happy to get stories and pictures morning noon and night. I can tell she truly has a heart for animals and she was great to work with! I would definitely return again and would recommend her to other Rover parents. Thanks Christina!”
“Baxter had such a great stay with Anne, we love her. This was my first time boarding him, he's a nervous but very social young rescue. He had so much fun playing with Anne's dogs and was so comfortable with Anne. There is a beautiful yard and a very comfortable house they have the run of. I got lots of pictures and updates! We'll definitely be boarding here again!”
“Christine is a new favorite dogsitter! I left one of my dogs with her and her canine crew for five days—she came home happy, healthy, and tired after romping around the big fenced yard, dipping in the pool, and snoozing on the couch. Worry-free dogsitting from a true dog lover. Thanks, Christine!”
“Katie and family were fantastic. Lily and Lucy had loads of love. Lucy told me she wanted to stay but I told her Lily would miss her. Lol... all in all I highly recommend Katie.”
“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”
“Rebecca was the perfect match for our Lucy, who had an excellent stay. She communicated clearly with us and updated us with messages and pictures. She followed all of our instructions. We will absolutely use her again.”
“Andrew clearly has knowledge re dogs and cared for Milo as if he was his own. He is upbeat, experienced, professional and a pleasure to work with. He took the time to find out quirks and pertinent details about Milo, which I appreciated! I feel safe dropping my little guy off with Andrew for a day or an extended stay. Milo looks forward to seeing him soon!”
“Celine did a great job with Buda while we were gone for about a week! Some health concerns came out but she handled it very professionally and Buda looked so happy during his stay. We got frequent updates and photos, everything we could ask for.”
“We used Carmen for the first time leaving our dog Griffey for a week for the very first time. Carmen was so attentive in providing updates and great pictures. Griffey loved the time he spent with her family and we appreciate her so much!!!”
“Hadley had the best time boarding with Chelsea! She had so much fun and went on many walks, she’s been sleeping none stop since we picked her up:) Chelsea is great when it comes to communicating and sending updates on your pets. And I especially want to thank Chelsea for being so accommodating after I accidentally mixed up my boarding days, and actually needed boarding that same day. Would definitely have Hadley stay with Chelsea and her family again!”
About: Hi, my name is Michael and I am a proud owner of a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and my dog and I would both love to have your pups company. Please let me know if you have any special instructions and I promise your pup will have a comfortable stay with many fun walks. Thanks!

I have one friendly dog in a quiet calm environment with no children. I will feed and walk your doggy as requested, and can provide lots of pets as well.
“Terrific - lovely, caring person and nice comfy environment and quiet neighborhood. When we came to pick Molly up she was was clearly content and comfortable. We get a much bigger “Glad you’re back” response when we leave her at home alone for an hour.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Bustins Island home-away-from-home, 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 Bustins Island.
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.
You and your Bustins Island 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 , 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 .
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.
