“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Cindy was great to work with. We met her for a meet and greet with our dog before we booked. She was very friendly and made us feel confident that she would take great care of Brady. She sent us daily photos and you could tell the dogs love her backyard. We even got a photo of Brady taking a nap snuggled up next to her.”
“Michaela was great with Barley for an evening so my wife and I could go to a festival. Even in the relatively short time, she sent multiple photos and videos of Barley clearly having a great time with Michaela, her partner, and her dog Gus. I would recommend her to anyone in Portland!”
“Our bouncy pup, Maple, had the best time with Viva! She was so great with training things and made us feel so good leaving our pup with her for the weekend. Definitely will reach out to Viva again!”
“Kelly was wonderful with our dog Jimmy! She took him to the lake, and he had an absolute blast playing there. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sending us updates with pictures and videos. He probably didn’t want to come home! We’ll definitely book Kelly again.”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“Vicky did an excellent job taking care of Harriet. She took Harriet for lots of walks on nearby trails and sent us multiple photos over the weekend. I highly recommend Vicky!”
“The absolute best - Kathleen is amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving Maple for the week, had daily updates, and Maple had a great time! Will definitely use again!”
“Our pup had an amazing time! He seemed right at home and we had great communication throughout his stay. We would definitely reach out again if we need a sitter in the future!”
“Natalie was amazing… was there when my plan fell through last minute, family was all so nice.. she sent me pics of blue, was so friendly and accommodating! Thank you so much for loving my baby!!”
“Sarah was outstanding with my nervous pooch, welcoming him into her home and making him FEEL safe and comfortable. Communicative, with lots of pictures. Would highly recommend and use again in a heartbeat.”
“Jay was a perfect host. Incredibly kind and welcoming. He was alert to what my dog needed and sent thorough and thoughtful updates while I was away. On my return, my dog had clearly connected with him after 24 hours and was totally at ease in this unfamiliar space. Beyond what I had hoped for. Will for sure connect with him again if I need a pet-sitter in the Portland area.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”
About: I've always had dogs in my life, and I think they deserve to be treated with love, patience & spoiled too! I'm comfortable with teacup-sized to the biggest dogs. I have a lab named Penne who loves to welcome new friends into our home! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give pups all the love they need during their stay. I usually walk Penne 3x a day in Deering Oaks & let her run around the fenced-in yard if the weather is nice. For puppies I can do more-frequent runs! I am generous with treats, happy to have pets on furniture, and love to give pups love. I understand the concern with leaving your pup behind during work or a trip all too well, so I'm happy to give regular updates & pictures!
“Mala had a lovely stay with Alissa. Mala had a large, private, cozy space for rest and relaxation, which was perfect for this 15 year old girl. Alissa has a large property providing plenty of opportunities for Mala to explore outdoors. And, she was spoiled with homemade treats! Thank you for taking such good care of her, Alissa!”
“Rose was amazing! We feel so fortunate to have come across Rose on Rover. We immediately felt comfortable entrusting her with our Maggie. Rose kept us up to date with cute photos and messages throughout Maggie’s stay. She handled Maggie and all her issues with ease and a smile. She even won our stubborn Maggie’s affectation which is high praise from Maggie! I would 100% use Rose’s service again and recommend her to everyone.”
“Molly is so amazing! We love leaving Vargas with her and the pups. This time, we went away for a week and Vargas had an amazing time. We were always in the know with photo updates. Thank you, Molly!”
“Amy was great with my two Bernedoodles. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and she made sure to send lots of pics that made me feel better. She was great at communicating and I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”
