About: After losing my best friend, Benjamin Franklin, a 13.5 year old Lab mix, in May, I’ve decided to open my heart and home to caring for other dogs. I got Ben from a rescue when he was just 12 weeks old and spent the latter half of his life caring for his complex medical needs, including medications, specialized nutrition, and significant mobility assistance toward the end. I miss him dearly, and I know just how much our dogs mean to us. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and am comfortable with administering medications and extra care needs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention in my quiet, cozy home. I also love getting outside for walks and hikes and would love some company! Your dog will be welcomed with lots of love, patience, and snuggles. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident that they’ll be treated like family while you’re away. I currently work from home full-time M-F, so your pup would have company all day! I can board pretty much any day of the week, schedule lunchtime walks and will ensure your dog has what they need to be comfortable and happy. I have a large yard that is partially fenced, but dogs are always leashed when outside and never left unsupervised. I am close to many walking trails that allow a longer, leashed walk if a short car ride is agreeable. Dogs are allowed on the bed and couches if that is the rule at their home. I make it a point to prioritize their comfort and minimize any stress they may feel in a new environment.
“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!!!”
“My first Rover experience with my just turned one puppy.

I would recommend Nicholas unreservedly, and so would my dog Sadie. Thank You!!!”

“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!”
About: I grew up around all sorts of animals. We always had a dog and a cat or two. We also had birds and a bunny and also a hamster. I love walking and playing with dogs and I get along with all different breeds and sizes. I don’t currently have a full time job so I’m available pretty much anytime. I’m available for boarding and visits during the week and weekends. I have a good sized unfenced yard with a half an acre of woods in the back. I also have a dog of my own who loves other dogs and would love a playmate. I can crate your dog if needed.
“Diamond took such great care of our dog Maple! He's sometimes a little anxious but he was completely at home there. Diamond sent frequent photo updates and even took him to work with her. We'll definitely be dropping him off here again the next time we go away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kennebunkport
Janice did a wonderful job with our toy goldendoodle Winnie. Winnie has some special food needs and Janice had no problem with helping her to eat her meals. Janice’s dog Lucy loved having a playmate and they got along very well. We had lots of communication and pictures while Winnie was there. Very pleased with the care Winnie received during her stay! We will be back!
Daisy had a wonderful stay with Janice. As soon as I met Janice I knew they were a good match! When someone cuddles and plays with your dog, like Janice does, it warms your heart. She communicated regularly with me and sent lots of pictures. The peace of mind I had, while Daisy was there, was invaluable.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Kennebunkport can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Kennebunkport home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Kennebunkport.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kennebunkport. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Kennebunkport 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
