“I always feel at ease when Briana takes care of my dog! He’s on the smaller side and doesn’t play with other dogs often so I was a little nervous at first, but he has a great time with her pups and is tired out from all his fun when he gets home. I love getting those pictures throughout the weekend so I can see how he’s doing. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting/boarding.”
“Alina took great care of our dog while we were away for a few days. She sent lots of photos and updates. We would recommend her to others, and we happily use her for sitting again if we are back in the area.”
“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”
“Austin and her family were wonderful with my husky. Their whole family was able to play with Taz, the communication and pictures were great, and they live in a great spot for outdoor walks and playing.”
“Sri could not have cared for Murphy better! She sent us daily updates with photos and videos. They went on walks and played daily and it was evident that Sri loved Murphy as her own. We feel so lucky and greatly appreciate Sri!”
About: I've taken care of many pets including my own dogs and cats through the years. I can bathe your doggie if you'd like and take him/her for walks. I'm a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention each day. I'll take special care of your furry friends! I'm a stay at home mom of three small children. We currently have two cats of our own so your pet will just fall into our routine each day. I live on a quiet side road without a fenced in yard. I'll take your doggie outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. Your pet will be well loved.
“Never having left Roo, Matzoh and Tony with anyone, we were a bit nervous. But we were sent pictures daily with updates and upon picking them up, it was obvious that they were well taken care of and very happy!”
“Kseniia took great care of my dog. She sent daily updates and photos and was very responsive when I contacted her. I would absolutely have her care for my dog again.”
“Laney was perfect for us and our dog! She was extremely responsive as we set up our date for Happy's two-day stay, and we enjoyed meeting with her by video beforehand. She was so welcoming to Happy -- and us -- and she clearly loves being with dogs and knows how to put everyone at ease. She did a great job of introducing Happy to her two lovely dogs and to her human family. We were confident that Happy would enjoy herself at Laney's, and she did! We're looking forward to returning to southern Maine soon so Happy can stay with her again!”
“They took great care of my little Maya for two weeks, accepting the booking mere days before my trip. They were pleasant, professional, and provided many updates that all reflected my happy, and comfortable little girl. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with them again in the future. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years ,I love to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I personally own 3 American bully’s so have a lot of experience with large dog breeds. I can take your dog/s for walks , feed them ,do drop in visits or play with them. I have a small farm so have experience tending to rabbits, cats ,chickens,pigs, goats and chinchillas I work part time and am available weekdays / nights and weekends, i am available for overnights or early morning pick up / drop off I can come to you and take your dog/s for walks or playtime in your yard or neighborhood as well as taking them to hiking trails, parks or just out for a little socializing (depending on the dog) I have dogs that I can bring if your fur baby needs a playmate as well. I also offer daycare and boarding in my home, I don’t currently have a fence up but we are adding one in the spring. I have plenty of room for inside play for the dogs and go on multiple walks a day with them. I do have personal dogs but I can have it so they are separated if your dog doesn’t do well with others.
“Rebecca was professional and kind from our first interactions on Rover, to our live meet and greet, go during her boarding of our geriatric dog. Rebecca sent periodic updates and pictures which were wonderful to receive while away from our dog. We will definitely engage Rebecca’s care taking again.”
About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals! I grew up on a farm with lots of animals - dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, chickens, pigs... I've also informally pet sat for friends and neighbors with dogs and/or cats in the past. I've been a cat mom in the past, but I don't have a pet of my own right now. For dog walking, my work from home job allows me some flexibility to stop by and take your pup for a stroll! I can do earlier mornings, a lunch time walk on some days, and evening walks after 5pm. For doggy daycare, I work from home full time at a desk job - if my day is "busy" it just means I had a few more zoom calls than usual. I would absolutely be able to take time to provide potty breaks and maybe a walk around the neighborhood when the weather is good. I live on a main street in town, but there's also a nice quiet neighborhood right behind me with minimal traffic, perfect for a quick walk. I do travel three or four times a year for my job, generally for 3-5 days each time, but I'd be able to give you at least a couple of months advanced notice for those trips - they are never last minute! For doggy daycare, I don't smoke and I have plenty of space for your pup to hang out during the day so they don't feel cooped up - including a wrap around enclosed porch that I can keep secure, and a tall privacy-fenced back yard/garden area. While the yard is fenced, I do get birds and other critters roaming through, and I have a flower garden that could have some toxic plants for over-curious dogs. Because of that, I would not to leave them alone outside, but take those breaks with them. My house does have a fairly steep flight of stairs, so a dog without joint pain or struggles going up and down multiple times a day would be most comfortable. I do have lots of houseplants and some could be toxic - so again, if your dog tends to be curious and take a bite out of plants, I may not be the best fit for you.
“We can't say enough good things about our experience. Emma was a delight. She made Tuckie a part of their family. This was our first experience with leaving Tuckie and Emma put us right at ease along witb tuckie who went with her withkut issues. She was extremely accommodating and professional. Tuckie looks forward to his next adventure. We would definitely recommend Emma's services.”
“Again, Kathleen was a great host for our pup! We received updates and pics which gave us comfort knowing he was having fun and in good hands. We now feel good that we have a "go-to" host in the Portland area. Recommended sitter - thanks again, Kathleen! T&P”

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 Parsonsfield 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 Parsonsfield 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 Parsonsfield.
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 Parsonsfield. On Rover:

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 Parsonsfield 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.
