Dog Sitting in Old Orchard Beach

“Nishat was extremely timely and quick to respond when I needed some last minute care! She sent lots of photos for updates and made me feel better that my kitties were getting some play time and love while I was away 🥰”

“Kayla was wonderful! She’s very sweet and clearly loves animals like I do. I booked somewhat last minute and she was very accommodating coming for a meet and greet late in the evening. I felt very safe leaving my two kitties with her. They even came out for pets which they rarely do with strangers. I would definitely book with her again ♡ ︎”

“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”

About: I've owned and been around a variety of dog breeds, ages, and temperaments since I 10 years old. My family has owned mini schnauzers (including rescuing senior dogs), large breed hunting dogs, and Shepard breeds. I know the importance of maintaining a schedule, keeping high energy dogs exercised, and reinforcing training techniques for the breeds mentioned above. I also am able to give medications (both oral and injectable), and care for dogs after surgery (I volunteered with my grandad who is a veterinarian at shelters and assisted with minor surgeries and after surgery care). I just finished up college, and applying for another program. My schedule is pretty open allowing me to meet the needs of your pets, keeping them on a similar schedule while you are away As I've mentioned, I know the importance of exercising and maintaining a schedule and will keep to the routine of your pet. I also love cuddling and just spending time with animals.

About: Animal fosterer with 2 years of experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, plenty of free time, and a genuine love for all animals. Ready to provide attentive, caring pet sitting! I currently work full time in South Portland, but I find watching animals so rewarding so I highly prioritize caring for your pet! I can take walks/potty breaks every few hours except during the workday which would be 8 hours depending on the commute from my work! I only offer house sitting as my home currently has other animals living in it. I love to go to beaches and dog parks or just sit and keep the animals company!

“Aimee took care of my cats while I was gone for a week and a half- she followed all directions and sent updates and pictures during each visit. Will certainly hire her again! Thank you, Aimee!”

About: Lifelong animal lover, professional treat-giver, and belly-rub expert. Whether your dog needs long sniff-filled walks or your cat just wants someone to respect their throne (and scoop their litter), I’m your person. I’ve cared for everything from high-energy pups to couch-potato cats—and even the occasional goat or chicken. I specialize in personalized care that fits your pet’s unique needs and quirks. Special diets? Meds? Selective social skills? No problem. I adjust to their vibe and routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. While I’m newer to the Rover platform, I’ve been caring for pets for years—mostly through word of mouth and for friends, neighbors, and families who needed someone they could trust. I recently reactivated my account here to expand and connect with more amazing pets (and their humans!). I love staying active and would be thrilled to bring your pup along for beach walks, hiking trails, or just a solid game of fetch in the park—whatever suits their energy level and comfort. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I genuinely love being around animals, and it brings me joy to care for them, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay. I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I believe pets are happiest in their own space, surrounded by familiar smells, routines, and cozy spots. That’s why I prefer caring for pets in their home—whether it’s house sitting or drop-in visits. It keeps things stress-free for them (and you!). Every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe, happy, and cared for—whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, playing their favorite game, or just offering quiet company. Have special requests or unique needs? I’m all ears. Let’s work together to create a care plan that feels just right for your furry friend.

About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a little kid, which made picking my career so easy. I’ve been a vet tech for over 5 years and have experience taking care of people’s pets both in a hospital and at home! I have a 6 year old lab mix that I adore, and I promise to make your pets feel loved and safe when they are with me! I currently work at a veterinary hospital M, T, Th, F. I can do walks and at home services on Wednesday and weekends. If these days don’t work just let me know and I can work around it! If I’m watching pets at my home I have great dog parks at my complex and live in a safe area to take them on walks. If I’m at your home they will get lots of play time, walks, and attention while I’m caring for them.

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary student home for the summer, and I’d love to help care for your pets while you’re away. I’m currently in vet school and have years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and more — both in clinical settings and at home. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering medications, and managing pets of all temperaments and sizes. I’ve also worked in animal hospitals and have a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and health. Growing up, I cared for my own pets and frequently dog-sat for neighbors and family friends — it’s always been second nature to me. Whether your pup loves belly rubs, playtime, or just needs a calm and reliable presence, I’ve got it covered. I’m responsible, responsive, and will treat your pet like one of my own. Let me know how I can make your pet’s day brighter while you’re away! I have a very flexible schedule with work right now, allowing me to take care of your pet's needs throughout the week whenever you need. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep your animals as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I make sure fresh water is always available and that your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and stimulation throughout the day. I will also make sure to be respectful of your space and tidy up after myself and your pet! Because I’m a veterinary student, I’m also trained to spot signs of illness or discomfort, and I’m confident handling pets with special medical needs or behavioral quirks. Whether your pet loves cuddling, playing, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what makes them feel at home.

“Cameron is a natural with dogs. My dog, Missy Birch always remembers and is excited to see Cameron when he comes over. Their walks include: neighborhood strolls or local trails. Cameron is kind, patient, attentive, and very responsible, I've known Cameron for many years and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs & cats! Missy Birch loves Cameron and she says she would highly recommend him to walk and hang out with more dogs!”

“Theodora was really responsive and great checking in on Regina! She made me feel really comfortable while I was away.”

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from small companion breeds to very large breeds, and I'm comfortable adapting to each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs. I have experience working with food-guarding behaviors and reactive dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, awareness, consistency, and safety. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or requires a little extra understanding, I strive to provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to discussing how I can best support you and your furry family member. 🐾 I'm currently going back to school and taking classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Aside from the occasional beach walk or outing, I'm home most of the time and have plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable care and lots of love for your pets. 🐾 The level of care I provide for your pet with is equally the amount of respect I will have for your home, boundaries and expectations.

“Gigi was a pleasure to work with. She did a Zoom meet and greet. And help me to move the date of our appointment. She left numerous pictures and a review. I highly recommend Gigi.”

“Grateful for Rachael‘s availability! I was in a bind when my husband was out of town and I needed to go into the office. Rachel quickly agreed to come over to walk our Maizy girl. With the reunion the day before, Maizy recognized Rachael immediately, even though it had been three months!She greeted her with a happy smile and tail wags! Thanks again, Rachael for taking such good care of our girl!”

About: I am reliable! When you’re gone, there will be zero stress. ☺️ I’ve had years of pet sitting experience. From puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I work for myself so my schedule can be very flexible! My availability can be as short or long as you need me, 7 days a week. I typically go to the house in which I am hired at. That way I know that the animal and the owner feel most comfortable!

“Outstanding!!!! Victoria is as BEYOND amazing with our dog Ollie while we were away 10 days for a cruise. I will be using her again and again and recommending her services to family and friends. Thanks again Victoria! Love Ollie, Janis and Gordon”

About: Hi there! I’m Sydney, and I’ve always had a love for dogs. I grew up with them and recently adopted a wonderful rescue dog, Asher. I know how important it is to have a caring and reliable walker, and I’m excited to offer that to your dog! My current dog is reactive so I feel comfortable working with other dogs who are also reactive because they still deserve to experience the world! I’m currently in grad school, and working with dogs is a perfect way to combine my passion with my goals. You can trust that I’ll treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am a full time grad student , but I’ve always made time for what I love — and that includes caring for dogs! Although my days are busy with classes I prioritize providing walks and playtime for my dog around, ensuring he gets the attention, exercise, and fun he needs. I’m flexible with timing and can adjust to fit your dog’s needs, whether it’s a midday walk, early morning, or evening outing. Whether in my home or yours, I always prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. If I'm caring for your dog in your home, I’ll make sure they have plenty of space to roam and relax, following your routines and preferences. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine, and I’ll ensure they feel safe and secure when in their crate. When I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm and safe environment where your dog can enjoy playtime, rest, and plenty of love. I treat every dog like part of my family and make sure they’re comfortable and happy throughout their stay. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, you can count on me to provide the best care!

About: New to pet sitting but have a life-time of experience with dogs. Dogs seem to respond to me easily and favorably. I enjoy caring for dogs. I am fully retired so my schedule can be very flexible. I will try at all times to accomodate a client especially if a short notice request is made. I will only house sit dogs in a clients house. I will care for the dogs feeding, all necessary walks, and of course some play time.

“Laura has been so wonderful! She’s provided excellent care and peace of mind. I was so worried being away from our senior boy but she made sure he stayed healthy and happy.”

About: Beginning 12/1/25, I am moving to Biddeford. I work, remotely, in Westbrook. I am most open to jobs in or between those two locations. My schedule is flexible. I do not currently have a dog of my own. I love dogs and enjoy their company. We take walks, play fetch, etc. I've had several pets over the years, both dogs and cats. I am an active person and go out walking several times per day to break up my own work routine. What I am trying to create is an experience for the dog and/or cat to relax and enjoy. I want the opposite of a kennel environment, which I think stresses most dogs out. I talk to the animals in my company. I take time out to pet them and and talk to them. I do appreciate their company and respect their routines. Dogs and other animals have always naturally gravitated toward me. I am calm by nature, and also smart, well educated, and organized. I am a careful person, quite conscientious. I love dogs and cats. While the master is off on an adventure, there is no reason why the dog(s) and cat(s) can't be having fun as well. I work remotely. My schedule is completely flexible. I make my own hours. I can easily build my day around my pet care services for Rover dogs and cats. I most prefer caring for pets in their own home where they are amidst the familiar objects and smells and routines of their normal life.
