“My dog Molly had such a great time spending the week with Lucy and Ike! Throughout the process they showed they cared very much for my furball by sending updates on how she was doing and I immediately felt like the pup was in safe hands when I met them.”

“Peter is great! Excellent communication. He is prompt in responding to questions around availability. Very accommodating as far as setting up a meet and greet. My dog Lola immediately took to Peter and his adorable dog Zeffy. Which is saying something because she is very cautious with new people and situations. Lola really enjoyed spending time with her new friends and I will definitely be using Peter again.”

“Hank and his mom Rachel were such a blast for our dog Bode to stay with. He had a great week of playtime, couch time, and what looked like hours of dog parkour. We will absolutely be sending Bode back.”

“Andrew was great! We did a screening call and then Andrew offered to come meet our dog before caring for her. Our dog was really happy with him and the other dogs. He kept us updated on how she was doing and sent pictures. He was very professional and takes the care of those he is in charge of seriously.”


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.
“Allison was so great with my four month old puppy. I felt so comfortable leaving him with her for an overnight. Her home is a dog staycation paradise with a bucket full of toys and a fenced in back yard waiting. She sent me updates through his time with her which was really comforting for me. When I’m my flight home got significantly delayed, Allison was super flexible and accommodated the extra time needed to watch him until I got home.”

“Lindsay did such a great job with our pug, Chloe. She sent photos, played with her, took her for long walks. When we picked Chloe up - she was perfectly calm and clearly felt comfortable and lived with Lindsay.”


“Lindsay was so great! My two cats were only with her for a short stay but she was very responsive, sent updates with photos, and followed their care instructions incredibly precisely. My boys seemed to come back super comfortable and happy.”

About: I enjoy being outdoors and exercising, so adding a dog makes it that much better! My favorite activity is finding new parks in Portland, so adding your pet is a perk! Exercise and care are the most important aspects of pet care. I am currently not able to have my own dog, so this is an excellent outlet for me to destress and make some money. Also, prior to college, I owned a dog for 7 years and still dog-sit occasionally for friends. Housesitting is one of my favorite ways to hang with your pets. I also love drop-ins and regular walks! I am flexible and available. Dog or cat, I already love your pets! I work downtown and often work from home. Regardless of my daily location, this gives me opportunities to get out throughout my work day and after while also making some money. I am always happy to provide most requested details from pet parents. I will always be attentive to your requests as well as the needs of your pets.
“My dog can be hard to handle in the wrong situations, but Emily put in care to make sure that those were avoided and it was easy to tell Lilah appreciated her stay. Hands on, caring, and in-town, I will definitely recommend Emily again.”

“Annie was so patient with our high-energy, anxious dog. Her calm energy and kindness just radiate. We had a great experience and would absolutely work with her again!”

“Lisa was great with our 6 month old ENERGETIC puppy for two nights. She took her on walks, gave her plenty of playtime, and we felt so secure knowing our dog was in good hands. Would definitely book with Lisa again!”

“Audrey was so great with my dog. I could tell he was well cared for while we were away. She sent pictures everyday of all the fun adventures she took him on. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up dogs from the time I was little- labs, retrievers, shepherds- and had a special needs rescue dog with my partner for many years who lived to be fifteen. When she passed, my partner and I started boarding and house sitting regularly and have built up a pretty cute little pack. I am comfortable giving oral medication and upholding your dog’s schedule, house rules, and love to take field trips whenever possible. My favorite is when a dog can come with me everywhere, so smaller senior pups have become my specialty, but I can’t help but love all the dogs who come along. As a videographer and Maine youth basketball coach I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule and spend a lot of time working from home editing videos. I’m fairly active, always happy to take breaks from work to walk around the neighborhood or find a pet-friendly beach to run around on. I’m in an apartment very close to Deering Oaks Park and the Western Prom. The apartment is a compact second story walk up and has been carefully maintained to keep it safe for curious noses.

“Brittany agreed to watch my dog super last minute and was SO sweet with him! She house sat for me and left it spotless. I wish she’d sent more photo updates, but overall a great experience! :)”


“Ali, Damien, kids and Bruce the dog were great! Very kind and caring family that took care of our pup Chase like he was part of their family. Chase had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saco
Katie was amazing with our dog Blu! He was such a happy guy at pick-up time and all of her updates reflected how much he enjoyed her and her home. She was always very responsive and friendly - and kindly made zero fuss when we had to push our pick-up window back several hours due to a 5 hour flight delay. It made an already stressful day a little more manageable. Definitely recommend her to any prospective clients!!
