“Kourtney is amazing with my dog, Blue. I know he is in good hands at all times with Kourtney. Blue loves the walks and the affection he gets from them. Highly recommend!”
About: I bring a lifelong love of animals and a wide range of hands-on experience. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, have walked dogs and supported adoptions in shelter environments, and have provided reliable in-home care through years of house sitting. I’ve also lived with and fostered cats for most of my life—including young, feral, and undersocialized ones—which has given me a strong intuition for reading animal behavior and offering calm, compassionate care. I'm skilled in administering all types of medications and am happy to handle the day-to-day tasks, from walks to litter box deep cleans, with real care and attention. As a self-employed person with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to tailor my availability to meet the specific needs of each pet and household, whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or walks at off-peak hours. When boarding cats in my home, I provide a calm, private room just for them—completely separate from my own cats—to ensure they feel safe and stress-free during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m attentive to any specific routines or safety needs, including crating dogs if requested. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being, keeping their environment clean, secure, and aligned with what they're used to.
“Rose is outstanding. She is reliable, kind, and compassionate towards our dog. She has been walking our dog for four years; it’s been amazing and a great source of comfort to have Rose to care for our dog”
“Christine was very reliable, great communication through the app and was so lovely with caring for our newly adopted 1 year old dog Annabelle. We will be booking her again soon!”
“My dog is very anxious and would refuse to walk with anyone but me, and after I hurt my ankle I was so worried he wouldn’t get the exercise he needed. Kasch’s patience, kindness and skill quickly charmed my dog and now he runs and greets Kasch at the door. I am so grateful!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. I have experience taking care of pets of all ages and dispositions and am happy to help you with your pet care needs! I am a law school student who is looking to spend some more time with animals. I have a flexible schedule. I can do morning, afternoon, and evening visits on weekdays and weekends for as long as is needed to properly care for your pet!

“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”
“Extremely satisfied with Lynn's services, she is friendly and genuinely loves to care for pets. 100% would recommend”

“Anna did a great job with our pups. She was totally unfazed by our high maintenance pack: a young high strung pittie, and big bullmastiff girl. Both dogs adored her and I felt very comfortable giving her access to our home. We'll definitely be working with her again!”
“Mae always takes such good care of Scarlet! I feel so comfortable and happy knowing that Scarlet is getting exercise and getting to be with someone so kind and reliable!”
About: I've been caring for my personal cat since 2018, although I grew up with cats and a dog in the house and had close relationships with them. I have a Bachelor's in Animal Behavior from the University of New England (UNE). I worked at a doggy day care for a year and since the beginning of 2025 have been walking dogs and providing other pet care services for clients. Pet care is the focus of my weekly routine. I'm available from 10am-5pm Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and 10am-4pm Fridays, for walks, and can be available for check in visits or housesitting any time of the week. I go above and beyond to try to make sure your pet enjoys their time with me, while also following all rules and instructions you might leave me. I provide a summary of each visit as well as at least one photo, to make sure you know exactly what's going on with your pet.
About: I am a dog owner who is 8 years and enjoy long walks and the dog parks! I am an active person so walks are great! I have the last week of June and all of August off, so my schedule is wide open! I can be available for most of the day. I can take your dog for a long walk or even on a run or I can take them to the dog park (Valley Street).
“Lily was very patient with Jerry given this was their first walk together and he is new to someone showing up to take him for a walk. We appreciate her care.”
About: My dog is 17 years old and he only eats meat that we cook like hamburger and steak as well as he needs to go on walks more often. My dog is blind and deaf so he barks to communicate. He is about to turn 18 in 2 months. I am good with both puppies and older dogs For now I do not have a full time job so I am looking to fill my time and make money by walking and taking care of dogs I have worked for multiple family friends as dog sitters and walkers. I love all the types of dogs and always make sure that I give as much care to them as if they were my dog.
About: Need a responsible pet helper? I have lots of time on my hands and lots of love to share with your pets. I feel like time with animals really makes me happy. All the care I show them is returned to me. As a teacher, I’ve got a lot of time on my hands in summer and I love to get out and about. Walking dogs and checking in on kitties is the perfect use of my extra time. I’m all about helping your pets feel safe and cared for in your absence. I follow your expectations to keep things consistent with their needs.
“Highly recommend Heather without hesitation!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (labs) but love all breeds and cats as well. Grew up with senior dogs and currently have a 1y old puppy that I train and have taken care of since he was 2m old as well as a 6y old that I’ve trained since she was a puppy. I’m currently taking part time classes at USM in Portland during the week, so I am often flexible and available during the day. Based on your needs, I am able to accommodate your schedule for weeks or weekends!! I’ve trained my current dogs to leash walk and take them to the park off-leash whenever we go. They are both crate trained as well.
“Matt did a great job with our two pups. They are both rescue dogs and he was very focused on making sure they felt comfortable with him, which we really appreciate! The dogs had a great time and we had peace of mind knowing they were safe and well cared for on their walk.”
About: *Recently moved to Yarmouth, Maine and back on Rover - accepting new clients* 🐾 🐾 Rates 🐾 🐾 I am happy to travel but may need to add a mileage fee for bookings outside of my 15 minute radius. All rates are negotiable. *Boarding: I only host 1 family's pets at a time. This provides a safer environment for your pet and an "at home" feel with plenty of attention, especially for reactive or aging dogs. I don't use crates or kennels but if you want to bring yours along that is fine, I also have 1 medium sized crate on hand if needed. I have a very clean home and welcome pets to feel comfortable if they would like to snooze on the sofas, bed, and we have a secure fenced in yard, but I do not leave dogs unattended in the yard. I usually take my dog to the local dog parks and nature trails and would bring yours along too. 🐾 🐾 Basic Info 🐾 🐾 I am an EMT, certified in Pet CPR + First Aid. For the past 25 years, I have been an animal caretaker. My favorite part is getting to know all of the different breeds and personalities. Your pets will be treated with love, and be as comfortable in my home as yours. I always send lots of photos at the end of each day. 🐾 🐾 My daily schedule 🐾 🐾 I work from home as a university professor. My position is remote, so I am able to work anywhere with a wifi connection. I work for rover occasionally and my schedule is typically super organized and flexible. We do at least 2 active hours per day- and we try to squeeze in as many hikes as possible. My boyfriend is also very helpful with the dogs- if they are up for it, he will take them jogging every night.

Heather S.
“Heather is tremendous with animals. She not only loves all critters but is patient, attentive, and has an intuitive sense for animals’ body language, comforts and needs. At the local rescue they reserve the spiciest kittens for Heather to foster because they know after just a little time with her even the most feral and scared babies will have opened up and learned what a safe and trustworthy human feels like. I think any pet owner would be lucky to have Heather looking after their fluffy companion.”
