“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”

About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request this summer has been from folks on visiting who would like me to day sit at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. This summer I am taking a sabbatical to my career job which means more hiking, walks and freedom to spend time with your pet- with flexible scheduling :) While my home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence, pets are never left unattended in the area. Happy to board with your routine in mind in terms of crating or free range of our home and total pampering. Pet sitting at your home is welcome too!

“They did an amazing job, made my dog feel at home, quickly responded to all messages, sent me lots of videos, pics, and updates. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for dog boarding!”

“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”

“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“We have used Jaclyn’s services twice now and would not hesitate to again. We love getting photos of Dani’s visit, which we call her “field trip” or “sleep over”. Jaclyn is very responsive and quick to answer any questions. She was also very understanding and easy to work with when our travel plans had to be postponed for a short time.”

Denis-Marc & Peggy N.

“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”

Kim H.

“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

Blair K.

“We were in the town for July 4th and Tantai was very much accommodating and took good care of John snow. Would definitely recommend to take care of your pets.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both in my own home and for friends and neighbors. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and am very in tune with their needs. I now have a sweet and playful Morkie puppy of my own who loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy if they enjoy canine companionship! I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved-just like family, while you’re away. I’m a homemaker with a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m home throughout the day and available to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just a calm presence nearby, I’m able to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I create a calm, loving, and safe environment where dogs can feel right at home. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and take special care to ensure their comfort and safety at all times. While my yard is not fenced, I always take dogs out on a leash for fresh air, bathroom breaks, and walks as often as needed. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I’m dedicated to making sure your pup feels secure, cared for, and happy during their stay. I also share my home with a small, quiet cat who keeps to her own gated-off area, so your dog will still have their own peaceful space without feline surprises.

“I know I’ve already written a review but I had to come on and write another one. Ann and Peter are such amazing people. I truly do not worry about Sumo when we are gone. I know he is in the best hands!! They love him as if they were his own. I get constant text messages, videos, pictures and updates. Sumo is not the easiest pup as he can be feisty and needs some timeouts lol but Ann knows just how to handle him. Daily Reiki, exercise, treats! It’s a dogs dream! I think he had more of a relaxing vacation than we did. 🤣 I can’t say enough good things about Ann and Peter. Simply amazing!”

About: I know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. I am currently in school part time and I work as a house cleaner on the days that I do not have school. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them, while checking on the pups throughout the day and staying overnight with the pups! My partner, his 6 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together. While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!

About: I have 20+ years experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. From young puppies to elderly dogs. I can go at your pets pace to ensure their comfort and happiness when you are away. I previously owned a dog with extensive medical issues, including epilepsy, so I am very experienced in taking care of special needs pets, administering medications and handling medical emergencies. I am available any time of day and any day of the week. Very little notice is needed for me to fit you in my schedule. Pets are welcome to be on the furniture in my home if that is something you allow in yours. I have a peaceful and quiet home with a fenced in yard and lots of loving attention for your pet.

“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”

“My boy Peter had a great stay with Karen. She was kind enough to pick him up to save me time. I was sent a short update with a photo everyday. I don’t think he was excited to leave. I will book Peter a stay again in the future.”

Hailee G.

“William was responsive in answering my nervous nellie questions before I decided to book a two-night overnight stay of our two dogs with him. He was prompt with ongoing communication and listened carefully to our questions and concerns when we met in person for drop-off. He was on time and shared a photo of our dogs each day.”

Julia C.

“Bailey took excellent care of our beagle Sam! He had a great time playing with the other dogs and exploring their big yard and farm fields. Bailey sent regular updates and photos so we knew Sam was happy and not missing us too much. We are so grateful to have such a great place to leave him when we travel!”

About: 🐱🐶 Animals have been my whole world my whole life! I have experience with a variety of animals from fish 🐠 to turtles🐢 as well as dogs🐕 and cats🐈‍⬛. I use positive reinforcement training techniques with our three rescue dogs and I use worship all cats techniques with our cats 😆. I am comfortable and familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. So medication💊 and physical therapy💪 exercises are something I am happy to provide! I went to college for animal behavior and animal sciences and have a degree in Ecology 🌎 I completed a 2 year course in wildlife rehabilitation. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and that means they get the utmost care and attention. 🫡 I will respect and follow whatever your babies' needs and preferences are as well as yours when it comes to them and to your space. 💓 We love taking our dogs on all sorts of outdoor adventures but safety is always our top priorty⛰️🦺! I am great at reading animals and understanding the different personalities and quirks they each have so I can provide them with the best care that works for them 🧐 Every animal is different but they all deserve our best! I have a flexible schedule and my own car that allows me to be an adaptive and on call care giver. I don't mind late bookings or cancelations as I understand that things come up. I am new to rover and still figuring out what works best but am always willing to work with clients on what works best for them and their pets. Animals are my first priority but I also believe homes and personal spaces are sacred and I will always treat them with respect and attention. All animals are different so its important to use to always be aware of anything potentially unsafe. Our home is for animals first and there is nowhere they aren't allowed although animal guests and clients are always fully supervised to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Our home is very easy going and has a lot of space for different needs and comforts. In your home, I will defer to your personal preferences always.

“My young shepherd had a great time with Kate. She got long walks and lots of attention and a nice family atmosphere. Kate was really good at sending updates and photos every day and I had no worries while I was out of town.”
