“Marlena is the best! My pittie and rottie love when she comes to pick them up for a walk. She treats them like family and brings them on great adventures. She is communicative, responsible and kind. Would trust her any day with my fur babies.”
About: Hi, I’m Abby! I’m a remote worker based in Saco, Maine. I have a very sweet lab/boxer mix Tilly who gets along well with other dogs. I grew up caring for multiple dogs, cats and rabbits and have also pet-sat for family, friends and roommates quite a bit. I feel confident with all breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m home almost all day and have a very flexible schedule. I offer walks and drop-ins in the Saco area, but I’m happy to travel farther for house sitting. Just message me if you have any questions - I’d love to meet your fur babies! I work remotely as a freelance designer so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the day for drop-ins and walks and can do overnights with enough notice. I am very respectful of how others prefer to care for their pets and their homes. I will treat your beloved pet like my own and make sure to follow your outlined instructions for them. Keeping your pet safe and comfortable while you are away is key!
About: Hi! I’m an experienced, dependable animal lover who understands that your pets are family. My goal is to provide exceptional care while giving you complete peace of mind whenever you’re away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets and have worked alongside my sister in her successful pet sitting business, which has proudly served the Greater Portland area for over 15 years. Through that experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, plenty of attention, and lots of belly rubs (if they approve!). Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and careful attention to any special instructions, medications, feeding schedules, or routines. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. To ensure everyone is a great fit, I require a meet-and-greet before all new bookings. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, answer any questions, and help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide the loving care they deserve! I work full-time during the weekdays, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, as well as overnight stays depending on my schedule. I strive to be flexible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I also require a meet-and-greet before new bookings to ensure we’re a great fit and to help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit.
“Ariana is very flexible and will give my high energy dog a long walk, rain or shine! I have booked ariana twice now, super last minute and is very responsive. I will definitely be booking her again 💗🐶”
“Abigail is so wonderful! She checked in on my precious Bubba and sent me adorable pics of him enjoying their walk through the neighborhood. I work long shifts and her updates helped set my mind at ease. Would absolutely book again, 10/10!”
“Jillian related to our little pug from the first visit. Often it's not easy to get our pug to walk, but Jillian takes her as she is and gets her to do her business. Minnie is in good hands when she's with Jillian. Thank you, Jillian!”
“Connie was awesome with Flyer and great at communicating with me! She was more than willing to come by before the time I needed her in order to meet Flyer and give him a short walk so that he could become comfortable with her. I will definitely be reaching out to her first the next time I need someone to watch my dog!”
About: Hi! I’m Khaila, I provide warm, reliable care with a focus on making every pup feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I live in a cozy, dog-friendly home near the coast and love exploring local trails and parks. My Frenchie, Stuart, is a good boy who loves making new friends. I understand how important your dog is to your family, and when they’re with me, they’re part of mine too. 💛 I work from home half the time and I perform better with a dog in my lap or at my feet ☺️ We’ll take breaks, walks, play at the local dog park, play at the beach, or hike local trails each day. When I’m visiting your home for care while you’re away, my focus is on playtime, walks, or just getting that energy out while ensuring your pets have all that they need. When they’re with my family, they’ll play hard, relax hard, and wag harder.
“First walk with my pup. Kaylee was easy to communicate with and kept me updated before and after her walk. Will continue to request for upcoming walks amd would recommend to others.”
About: I have taken care of 25+ dogs and cats in the past 3 years, to include in home/overnight pet- and house-sitting, dog walking, brushing, litter box maintenance and pill-based medication administration. When taking care of other people’s pets, I provide the attention and care that I was seeking for my own cat and dog (who, sadly, are no longer with me.) My top priority is the safety of the pet, and to that end, I take no risks with the animals in my care – food protocols are carefully followed, walks are always on leash and doors are carefully monitored to ensure indoor cats remain indoors. With my pet care services, you will have: • Happy, safe and well-cared-for pets • A clean and orderly (tidy) home • Clear and timely communication • Regular and frequent updates (with photos and videos of your pets) • Reliable and dependable pet and home care As a recently-retired educator, I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time for your pets. I am available for daily walks, overnight or weekend house sits (your house or mine) and vacation sits (1-4 weeks is typical). When starting a new relationship with a client and their pet(s), I schedule a brief ‘pop over’ appointment where I can meet the animal(s) in the presence of their humans. This helps everyone involved – pets and humans – get to know me and feel comfortable with me before I take on the responsibility for the pet. I take care to be calm around the pets I sit - I let both cats and dogs take their time to warm up to me (come to me when they are ready, sniff my hands, my person, my things). I am careful when feeding animals - particularly dogs - giving them space. I follow the pet's routine - if they sleep on the bed, I let them sleep on the bed; if they like to go in and out frequently, I let them go in and out frequently. I try to make them as comfortable as I can, in their human's absence.
About: Please message me about rates! We can discuss! I’ve been pet sitting/dog walking since I was 8 years old. That was the first job I’ve ever had. I’ve always longed to continue that form of work into adulthood due to my undying love for animals. As a result, I’ve turned to Rover in hopes of an opportunity to hang out with some furry friends! Growing up, I always had cats and adopted a dog when I was in 6th grade. The love and enthusiasm animals bring to every encounter is incomparable to any other human experience and I, therefore, want to engage with these animals as frequently as possible. Something about animals just makes me a genuinely happier person. Plus, the exercise that comes with walking and being outside with a furry friend is always a bonus. I hope you’ll consider me as a candidate to care for your pet friends while you are away. Nothing in the world would make me happier :) I specifically have experience working with dogs, cats, chickens, and snakes. I have been working with animals most of my life and have 3 cats of my own. I am knowledgeable in how to deal with a multitude of scenarios around animals and now how to handle them safely. I am able to do walks and check ins every 2 hours or so! I do work independently so my schedule is flexible. Let me know what kind of schedule you are looking for! I care for pets by following the given guidelines prescribed by the owner. I understand pet care is individualized and want to ensure a safe and loving experience for every animal I work with.
About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own! My Cocker Spaniel Willy has his own health issues, so if any extra special care is required for your pet, I’m your girl! I’m a full time registered nurse (RN) and only work 3 days a week! I am a Registered Nurse and only work 3 days a week! I am looking for ways to spend my days off, and I thought what better way than with animals!? I currently live in Biddeford and am available to travel to your home for any of your pets needs! I previously lived in Portland and work in Westbrook so I’m familiar with the area! Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.
About: Experienced veterinary technician assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled in medication administration and comfortable caring for pets of any age or size. I go to school and work a job but I also find myself with lots of free time during the week. I would like to fill that time. I use the necessary precautions in regards to the animals breed, size, age, and weight in order to maintain a healthy environment for the animal.
About: I grew up with a multitude of dogs ranging from chiuauha mix to English mastiff - we never had less than 2 at a time. Now as an adult I have a beautiful Golden who I trained myself (potty, crate, clicker, leash,play), and I couldn't be more happy! Daisy was in daycare in the beginning since I was still working in office so she's been around a lot of dogs ranging in size. We've also added a maltipoo named Frankie to the house. Crate trained and she likes to sit, but boy is she stubborn. She's well mannered though and for those rare instances she's not, she's significantly easier to just pick up compared to Daisy. As for cats, I grew up with a lot but the most at once was 3 which including my gorgeous Bella. She's a senior now but still has a bunch of energy for when she wants to play. She's a good mix of put you in your place and just wants to be loved, I definitely lucked out with her attitude/personality. We have some toys and all the furniture is approved by her so your lil feline will never be in want of a bed or playtime. I walk the girls about 2 miles a day with lots of playtime in the house. Depending on what you need I could add yours to our walk or play, or I don't have a job at the moment so I'm free for the remaining time. For house sitting I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave. I’ll make sure you fur baby gets all the love and attention to make up for you not being there. Lots of love, treats, and positive reinforcement. If at my home there will be lots of pets, play, and attention. If any dogs get overwhelmed then there are many doors to separate if needed, as well as my dogs have crates.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saco
I scheduled Emma for a walk with my dog Harley, and she was absolutely wonderful. I am an anxious dog mom, and Emma was prompt, reliable and even sent photos from her walk. She went above and beyond, fed my pup her lunch and followed instructions perfectly. I will definitely ask Emma to help with Harley again!
Peter was great. Came for a quick meet up the day before. He was quick to reply, punctual and a great sport about my pup jumping all over him. He sent lots of pictures and updates over the time he was with my pup and I arrived home to find Piper calm and relaxed even though we had been gone for almost eight hours. Peter's walk and visit were just what she needed. I would definitely book Peter again.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Saco. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Saco.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

- 99% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
