“Kristopher was absolutely amazing! I needed someone last minute to watch my puppy for the day, and he responded immediately! He kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and was very sweet with her. Would definitely recommend!”


“Danielle was wonderful taking care of our dog Uconn. He loves to play and her dog Bruno is so sweet and full of energy. She was very flexible with our schedule for work which was great. We definitely would love to have her watch our pup again.”



“Joseph and his partner were fantastic. Our puppy was shy at the beginning, and they made her so comfortable. We were nervous to leave her, but they sent videos of her happily eating minutes after we left and of her playing with the other dogs soon after. They were also so accommodating. We dropped her off around dinner time to go to a concert in Bangor and picked her up late. When we picked her up, it was clear she had a great time. We would definitely come back!”


“Karen was great with our 2 dogs. She was very accommodating in terms of picking the dogs up and she gave updates (including pictures) throughout the day. Our dogs seemed comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely use Karen again.”


“Jaclyn was a wonderful and caring pet sitter for our boy, Ziggy. We were visiting from out of town and couldn’t bring our dog on our excursion so we found Jaclyn to watch our pup. He was with her from about 11 am to 6 pm. She provided updates and Ziggy seemed like he had a great day! Would use again if we lived in the area.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both in my own home and for friends and neighbors. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and am very in tune with their needs. I now have a sweet and playful Morkie puppy of my own who loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy if they enjoy canine companionship! I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved-just like family, while you’re away. I’m a homemaker with a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m home throughout the day and available to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just a calm presence nearby, I’m able to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I create a calm, loving, and safe environment where dogs can feel right at home. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and take special care to ensure their comfort and safety at all times. While my yard is not fenced, I always take dogs out on a leash for fresh air, bathroom breaks, and walks as often as needed. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I’m dedicated to making sure your pup feels secure, cared for, and happy during their stay. I also share my home with a small, quiet cat who keeps to her own gated-off area, so your dog will still have their own peaceful space without feline surprises.

“This was my first time using Rover. I am so happy I chose Eva and Justin. I was visiting Umaine with my daughter for orientation and needed last minute care for my goldendoodle. Eva and Justin were amazing with communication and taking care of Luna for the day. I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely use them in the future when up in Maine.”


“Debbie took great care of our pup and even sent us videos during his stay. He was a little anxious at first, and she made sure he was comfortable. We would definitely recommend Debbie!”


About: Hi! I'm Nieves. I have been caring for animals all my life. My pet sitting experience includes many breeds of small, medium, and large dogs and cats. I have also taken care of rabbits, turtles, fish, and many kinds of reptiles. I understand how hard it is to care for pets when you are busy with work and life's responsibilities, that's why I am dedicated to devoting my time and energy into helping you care for your pets in the best way possible. Your pet is also welcome to come to my house. I am willing to have them on my bed, couch, or bed of their own- whichever you prefer. I have a large yard and two acres of unfenced land. I would be happy to take your pet to the vet, monitor and administer their meds, and take care of them and love them as much as you do. I really believe that pets should be treated with the same respect, caring, and love that we as people expect. I hope to meet and your pet soon! I am available Monday through Friday after 4:00 p.m. and on weekends. Please get in touch with me and we can work out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I'm more than happy to meet your pet's special needs and requirements--just let me know!

“Tan and his wife were incredible at taking care of our two-year-old dog. They have a separate air-conditioned room for dogs. How lovely! They were attentive, affectionate, and ensured our dog felt at home during her stay. Additionally, their dog Percy was exceptionally friendly and quickly became a great companion to our dog. The bond they formed was evident, and now that we're back home, our dog clearly misses Percy and the wonderful time they spent together. It's reassuring to know that our dog was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommended.”


About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request this summer has been from folks on visiting who would like me to day sit at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. This summer I am taking a sabbatical to my career job which means more hiking, walks and freedom to spend time with your pet- with flexible scheduling :) While my home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence, pets are never left unattended in the area. Happy to board with your routine in mind in terms of crating or free range of our home and total pampering. Pet sitting at your home is welcome too!

“Jessica was so kind! And kept me updated on Indie all day and sent as many pictures as I asked for and more!! I am so happy with the care and love Indie received and Indie was too! Will definitely reach out again!”


About: I’ve taken care of all dogs big and small and love every one of them (especially the big ones). My family has owned dogs since I was a young child. I am a trained EMT so I understand the basics of administering medication if your dog has specific needs. I have an extremely flexible routine and work primarily from home, so I have a lot of time to spend caring and playing with your dog. I’m an active person so if your dog likes to run that’s a plus! Our home is located on a large plot of land, so we have lots of space for your dog to run around and play outside, safely. Soon we will have a large, fenced area to play off-leash.

“Such a wonderful caregiving family experience! Luna was so very well cared for and adored the attention from both the humans along with their fellow K-9 friends. Truly grateful!”


“Lincey was amazing! I can't speak highly enough about her care, kindness and attention for my rambunctious puppy!! She and her family welcomed and cared for my Rosie while I was visiting my grandbaby. Rosie was in excellent hands and her stay took a huge stress off my shoulders! I am so grateful..Lincey deserves the highest recommendation!”


About: 🐱🐶 Animals have been my whole world my whole life! I have experience with a variety of animals from fish 🐠 to turtles🐢 as well as dogs🐕 and cats🐈⬛. I use positive reinforcement training techniques with our three rescue dogs and I use worship all cats techniques with our cats 😆. I am comfortable and familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. So medication💊 and physical therapy💪 exercises are something I am happy to provide! I went to college for animal behavior and animal sciences and have a degree in Ecology 🌎 I completed a 2 year course in wildlife rehabilitation. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and that means they get the utmost care and attention. 🫡 I will respect and follow whatever your babies' needs and preferences are as well as yours when it comes to them and to your space. 💓 We love taking our dogs on all sorts of outdoor adventures but safety is always our top priorty⛰️🦺! I am great at reading animals and understanding the different personalities and quirks they each have so I can provide them with the best care that works for them 🧐 Every animal is different but they all deserve our best! I have a flexible schedule and my own car that allows me to be an adaptive and on call care giver. I don't mind late bookings or cancelations as I understand that things come up. I am new to rover and still figuring out what works best but am always willing to work with clients on what works best for them and their pets. Animals are my first priority but I also believe homes and personal spaces are sacred and I will always treat them with respect and attention. All animals are different so its important to use to always be aware of anything potentially unsafe. Our home is for animals first and there is nowhere they aren't allowed although animal guests and clients are always fully supervised to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Our home is very easy going and has a lot of space for different needs and comforts. In your home, I will defer to your personal preferences always.

“Jillian took good care of our dogs over 4 days of boarding and later during a day of dog sitting. Her location in the forest made for exciting walks and time outdoors. Her dogs were good company. And Jillian was sensitive to the needs of our dogs and expert in knowing how to draw them out when everything was new.”

Nieves P.
“Nieves is most compassionate being that I ever known. I wholeheartedly trust her with taking care of various animals including doggos! She’s phenomenal with them, she always puts them first before herself. Especially I saw how she took care, interacted with my little furkid Luffy. At the point he adores her so much, he would wait for her and follows her. I usually don’t trust anyone with my doggo, since dogs are skilled at reading vibes. Luffy trusts her and loves her. That s a humongous win! Nieves is such a gem and you would not regret it! 😁”
