“Jeanne was very good to our Copper. We are not used to leaving him a lot especially with several dogs but Jeanne is a professional and knows what she is doing. She made me feel comfortable leaving our boy. She sent me a picture later in the day and let me know he was doing well.”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”
“This was second time Bessa stayed with Sheila and was just as great as the first time. Big fenced in yard and her dog Dakota is so sweet. Sheila provided lots of pics and videos and truly loves her dog guests. She was very accommodating to Bessas needs and did everything to make sure she was happy and and felt at home. I can’t wait for Bessa to visit again.”
“Mack and Dennis had their very first Rover sleep-away with James, and they were welcomed with open arms by his whole family. Everyone was so sweet and hospitable, and his little girl gave them plenty of cuddles, which they absolutely loved. James was incredibly easy to work with. He was responsive, flexible, and genuinely accommodating. I felt completely at ease knowing my boys were in such a warm, caring home. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone looking for a trustworthy, family-oriented sitter. We will happily book with him again.”
“Courtney did a wonderful job caring for my dog! Great communication and responsiveness during scheduling and my dog's stay, including photo updates. My dog seemed very comfortable and happy with Courtney!”
“Shauni and Conner were wonderful pet sitters. Our 8mo old Beau enjoyed himself and the tons of playtime he had. Beau came home exhausted and slept so long. I would recommend boarding or dog sitting with Shauni and Conner.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and cared for family and friends dogs for a very long time. Love having dogs in my life they bring so much joy. Everyday is an adventure in training, playing and lots of love and attention. Love to play fetch and taking long walks. Dog care is my number one priority everyday. I make sure I am available to provide consistency for your dog all day. I provide breaks, exercise, playtime and lots of love and attention. I have two labs of my own. They are very friendly and will love to play with your dog inside a roomy home and fenced in yard. My dogs are playful and love to make new friends and playmates.
“Kristin and James took great care of our dog while we were on a family vacation in Ogunquit. They were communicative and warm. We know our dog had a great time in their care, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Jude was incredible with Sally and she had the time of her life. He was very responsive, prompt and took really great care of her. We would love to have Sally stay with him again in the future!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my little logie bogie. The experience was excellent got plenty of pics and updates and I will look forward to booking again. Thank you again”
About: My first “job” as a kid was walking and letting out my neighbors’ dogs after school. From there, I started working in horse barns, managed a few barns, and then eventually became an equine massage practitioner full time. At the same time, I continued to train, compete with, and enjoy LOTS of hikes with my own personal dog. I worked as an assistant dog trainer for several years at a positive-reinforcement based facility, and gained a wealth of knowledge from the experience. I’ve used positive reinforcement training with dogs, cats, horses, rats, and even birds of prey! I have raised and trained a number of puppies/dogs for friends and family members, and have experience fostering as well. I’ve cared for and/or lived with dogs, cats, birds, rodents, exotic animals, horses, and other farm animals. While I am comfortable with any and all breeds of dogs, I especially love herding breeds! I am self-employed, and generally have a pretty flexible schedule with some notice! I am able to accommodate mornings, mid day, or afternoon/evening check-in’s. I have availability weekdays as well as weekends. I am happy to go over whatever your individual dog’s routine is in order to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible. Whether that’s making sure they stay in a fenced in yard, or going over the training tools that you use, I am more than willing to make sure that your dog is happy and that you have peace of mind knowing that they are sticking to a routine that they are comfortable and familiar with!
“Rosalynn and Angel were absolutely wonderful with my old dog. They did a great job of communicating while I was away and my girl came home happy. I will definitely be using them again in the future! So nice to know a trusted sitter in the area.”
“Kris is fabulous! We went away for 10 days and we were so worried about leaving our dog. Kris had us do a meet and greet in advance, and we knew immediately that she would take great care of our dog. She communicated with us every day while we were away with updates on how she was doing. She always responded right away to texts, and she sent plenty of pictures and videos. We ended up missing our flight home and needed Kris to keep our dog an additional day, and she was super accommodating. We truly were able to enjoy our vacation even more, knowing that our family dog, who we love so much was in such great hands. We will use Kris every time we go away from now on!”
“Sylwia was amazing! We dropped our Harley off for a weeks stay at Sylwia's home. Our regular sitter had something come up and Sylwia came to the rescue. Sylwia's family welcomed Harley as if he was one of their own dogs. Sylwia sent us daily updates and photos of Harley. They visited the beach and took long walks each day. Our flight home was delayed and Sylwia was so accommodating, waiting up for us to pick Harley up.”
“This is the second our dog stayed with Ann and it was just as great as the first. She is so kind and patient with our dog. He has the best time visiting with Ann and is always reluctant to come home! I couldn’t ask for a better stay.”
“Shelby watched our 2 Golden Retrievers (8yo & 7 months) recently. We were so relieved to have found her, as we were worried about leaving our puppy for the first time, and having a new pet sitter for our older dog. We felt at ease as soon as we met her for a meet & greet. The boys got lots of attention, were very well cared for in her lovely home and large fenced back yard. She sent photos and updates while we were away, which were greatly appreciated. We will use her again for sure, and can highly recommend Shelby!”
“I can’t sing higher praises for Emily! She’s been an absolute lifesaver for me and my Cane Corso. My baby (110 lbs…lol) absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why. She goes above and beyond, giving him all the love, attention, and exercise he needs. My girl don’t even bat an eye at his slobber! Haha It’s clear Emily genuinely cares for him, and I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will treat your dog like their own, look no further—Emily is simply the best!”

Sheila was fantastic! We traveled from out of state for our son's wedding. We contacted Sheila after reading her bio. She was communicative, friendly, and professional. Our meet and greet went well from the beginning and our ability to leave our dog without reserve was such a gift that allowed us to truly enjoy our family time away from home. Sheila is truly a special person.
Diamond was absolutely amazing with our dog, and we truly could not have asked for a better sitter. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in loving, caring, and responsible hands. She went above and beyond with updates, attention, and genuine care, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. What really stood out was her kindness, patience, and professionalism. She treated our dog like family, and that means everything to us. Coming home to a happy, relaxed pup says it all. We are beyond grateful for Diamond and would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly wonderful with animals, Diamond is the one. We would absolutely love to book with her again in the future!
This was our first time boarding with Alyssa and her family. I could tell from our initial meet-and-greet that our golden would love his time with them -- and he did! During his stay, Alyssa checked in on things she wasn't sure about and sent pictures and videos of his walks, snuggles with family, and trips to parks. I could tell our boy was a happy camper! Being assured he was in good hands made it a lot easier to enjoy our time away. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook!

We were on a waiting list for over a year to bring home our puppy. It just so happened that he was ready to come home just a few weeks before our wedding! Ally was a lifesaver taking our puppy, Banner for our wedding weekend! She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and caring. It’s obvious she is an animal lover. We felt very confident that our boy was in good hands and were able to enjoy our wedding stress free. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Kittery is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $46 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 383 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kittery. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% of sitters in Kittery 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 Kittery home-away-from-home, 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 Kittery.
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.
You and your Kittery 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 , 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 .
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.
