“Stephanie was great! She was a huge help when another sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our dog and home and communicated well through the experience. We would definitely re-book with her if ever needed! Thank you, Stephanie!”

“Jonas was very accommodating to our dogs needs. She was well cared for and we were kept well informed with lots of pictures of daily activities. They kept the house in great condition as well- even watered our many flower boxes and plants. Would definitely use Jonas again”

“Thrilled to find Marcela the first time I used Rover. She sent great pictures of all three dogs who appeared to enjoy her company. I won’t hesitate to go away again knowing I have reliable pet care with Marcela in my home!”

“10 out of 10 ! Craig and Chelsea were amazing! Extremely professional, knowledgeable and very intuitive when it came to caring for my boy! I was very impressed with the initial on boarding and the time Craig took to understand our pet’s needs, and behaviors to ensure it was a seamless experience while we were away . He had a terrific manner in meeting our pet for the first time and one could tell immediately that this was someone that truly cared for our pet’s wellbeing. It was the first time we left our pet alone to travel since rescuing him and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable that he was in good care than if left him with a family member!! We received regular updates and came home to a spotless home . Craig went above and beyond and it was overall a terrific experience!!! Thank you, thank you , thank you !!”

“John was an awesome pupsitter and we would definitely hire him again! He was communicative, thorough, and very attentive to our 2 dogs over the course of the week that he watched them. Highly recommend him!”

“Avery was willing to jump in at the last minute and save our vacation! The dogs loved Avery right off the bat and were definitely well cared for and had a great time. We highly recommend Avery and will reach out them again.”

“Sarah & Tony did a fantastic job watching/caring for Panda and Kylie at our home, when we were away for almost 4 days. They provided multiple updates and pictures each day and it was very apparent that our pets were very well taken care of and happy. We will absolutely hire them again in the future.”

“Lauren is professional and reliable! She is sensitive to all of our pets needs and took great care of them for 5 days while we were out of town!! I loved getting pictures from her showing our pets. We will definitely be scheduling pet sitting and house sitting with Lauren again!”

“Ryan did a great job with our 2 dogs! He’s kind, was punctual, and had great communication! We have a puppy and adult dog and he managed both wonderfully! We’ll happily have him stay with our dogs the next time we need someone! Absolutely recommend Ryan!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!
“Cam was so great with our dog and two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. He came to meet all the pets a couple of days before staying with us and our dog especially loved hanging out with him on the couch and going for walks while we were away. One of our cats is a finicky eater, and Cam was super mindful to make sure he was eating in a place that he was comfortable. 10/10 on Cam and would definitely rebook again! Thanks so much.”

“We cannot recommend Ashley enough! Prior to the house sitting stay, Ashley came to meet us and our pup. Instantly, she made our shy pup feel comfortable. She is a great communicator and updated us throughout our vacation, which put us at ease. We highly recommend booking Ashley to take care of your animals!”

“Many thanks to Toni for taking such excellent care of our pups! She was attentive to their needs and very careful with them, making sure to take into account their idiosyncracies! We felt very grateful that Toni spent the weekend with the "girls"! Thank you!”

“Rachael stayed with our 2 girls for a week at our house. They loved her & we loved that they were in such great hands! While we were gone, we received numerous updates and pictures each day. We returned to an immaculate house! Very professional, Highly recommended!”

“Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!”


About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 15, I absolutely adore any animal of any type! I have much experience with Dogs, Cats and Rabbits and I would love to take care of your best friend whenever you need! Je suis aussi bilingue français/anglais! I am currently off for the summer! I am a double degree student so I spend the summers saving for University! I am typically available monday-friday! I have been house sitting and caring for all types of critters for about 10 years, I am deeply committed to your pets safety, happiness and enrichment during our time together!
Harpswell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Daniel took care of my PTSD-riddled dog, cat, and home while I went on vacation. He was gentle, intentional and so communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the week. He overcame my dog Moose’s fear of men with his gentle and healing nature, while graciously handling a leaking water faucet and dishwasher. I’ll definitely be using Daniel in the future and highly recommend him.
