Cat Sitting Scarborough

“Katrina is awesome! This was my second time working with her, and I had another great experience. She is very communicative, responds quickly, and is always helpful. She took great care of my needy, food aggressive cats who need to be fed twice a day, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive cat sitter!”

“Lyndsay was great! This was our first time trusting someone who isn’t family to care for our cat Jose. We were a little nervous, and after the first drop in visit we completely relaxed. Jose is shy, but sweet and was comfortable with her immediately. Lyndsay sent photos and a report at each visit, she’s very fast to respond to messages. It couldn’t have gone smoother When we need a sitter again we will be reaching out to book Lyndsay.”

“Sparrow is wonderful! They are very attentive to detail and as agreed made sure they arrived at the specified time and all tasks performed. They are very compassionate and clearly love being around animals. I could be assured that if there was a problem or issue they were unsure of they would bring it to my attention. I have terrible PTSD from another pet sitters grave mistake, but Sparrow helped put my mind at ease. You won’t be disappointed hiring Sparrow to take care of your beloved pets.”

“Rachael does a fantastic job!”

About: Thank you for checking out my rover profile! My name is Emma! I have a huge passion for animals and have experience working in doggy daycare! I love breeds of all sizes and shapes and use Pawsitive reinforcement training. I’m always very adaptable base on each individual animal. I’m always prepared for treats unless they’re provided. I look forward to meeting your pets and will treat them like they are my own. Please reaching out for additional information ! My schedule is flexible since I currently work part-time, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I’m available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 9am–3pm, as well as Friday afternoons. This schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care during visits or house sitting. I always do my best to work with each owner’s routine so their pet’s day stays as normal and comfortable as possible. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored just for them. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of encouragement to help pets feel safe, confident, and happy. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so I can adapt my care to what they need—whether that’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or maintaining training cues. I’m also happy to house sit in your home so your pet can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

“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!”

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: 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.

“Rose cared for our two cats while we were away for a week and gave us peace of mind knowing they would be well cared for including daily eye drop medications.”

“Madilyn was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy. She was caring and attentive toward our pet, and we felt like we could relax on vacation knowing he was in capable hands.”

“Bret did an absolutely incredible job taking care of my pets while I was away. My cats require a bit more upkeep than most others and she went above and beyond to provide them with the care they needed. Getting consistent updates and fun pictures helped reassure me that they were in good hands and it showed how much my cats grew to trust her in such a short period of time. I couldn’t recommend Bret enough!”

“Megan was amazing! Nadia loved her, and I am very grateful she was able to check on my girl.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, from Siamese cats to Great Danes! Huge lover of the outdoors and animals of all kinds, especially my sweet 13 year old kitty, Cranberry Bog! :) I work in the education field, so I am avaliable after 2:30 every week day, with most weekends open to take care of your special furry friends! I am a huge believer in creating a safe space for all animals and ensuring their comfort while in my care! I will always communicate with pet parents about all steps of the care process & updates! :)

About: I’ve grown up with as many pets as you can imagine (cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, etc). I have an immense love for all animals and have been lucky enough to recently adopt a sweet and cuddly puppy with my boyfriend Jack. I have always lot of experience looking after pets of all shapes and sizes (from bunnies to dogs and cats), and have been a pet sitter for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I will love your furry companion like my own pet! Booking a session with me means your pet will get all the cuddles and walkies and attention their heart desires :) I am currently in dental school so my week day schedule is pretty busy as I am seeing patients 8am-5pm during the week. However, my Friday, Saturday and Sunday availability is much more flexible as I am often home relaxing with my own puppy and taking him on walks! If you’re looking for a weekend sitter or some more physical exercise for your furry friend on the weekends, I’m your gal :) I do not have a fenced in yard but the townhouse style apartment I live in has a private entrance making potty breaks a breeze as well as a dog park located right in the complex! It is usually empty so if you’re okay with it, our pups could go run and play together! My boyfriend Jack and I absolutely love animals and especially dogs and are so excited to meet your companion :))

About: I had a dog of my own and have been dog sitting for friends for years. I’m not afraid to give meds and clean up messes. More than happy to help :) Currently, I am working part time at a dispensary and am a traveling hairstylist and need to make more money. I’ve definitely got time to help :) My dog got a daily allergy pill in the morning before his 10min walk. I cleaned his ears once a week … unfortunately, he was prone to ear infections so I had to keep a close eye on them.

About: Middle-school teacher with extra time (and love) over the summer. New to Rover, but not to pet sitting! My primary experience is with my two cats, Norman (8yo) and Bucky (2yo), but I have been helping watch pets for family, friends, and neighbors in southern Maine for the past 8 years. I'm a middle-school teacher on summer break with plenty of extra time/love. I can be flexible with times/specific preferences and am open to all days of the week. I am caring, knowledgeable, and tidy and will treat your pets + space with the utmost respect and care. Drop-ins will be for 30 minutes unless longer is requested and agreed upon. Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions or concerns!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel happy and secure. From energetic puppies to independent cats and senior pets needing extra attention, I treat every animal like family and make their well-being my top priority. 🐾❤️ Hey there) I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to care of your pets. Flexible schedule, overnight care and walking available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel at home.

About: I have 10 years of animal care experience! (Dogs, cats, and bunnies). I have 5 years of dog handling experience, pups that are big or small! I am beginning my journey to be a Veterinarian this fall at UMA 😊 I currently work part-time as I am attending school! But my passion is to spend most of my days with my puppy and cat at home. I am a reliable caretaker and have reliable transportation! I will be offering dog walks and pet sitting. I’m here to offer an extra hand and exceptional care for your four-legged friend

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for families in Portland on and off for the past two years, along with caring for dogs in my own family. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and care. I’m attentive, loving, and gentle, with a strong ability to read dogs’ cues and recognize what they need to feel comfortable and happy. I understand that younger dogs may need plenty of activity and playtime, while older dogs often benefit from a calm, patient sitter who moves at their pace and provides a warm, reassuring presence. Every pet and family has their own routines, preferences, and expectations. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and caring for your dog the way you would, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home! I work remotely from 9–5 Monday through Friday, so I’m available every evening and on weekends for pet care. Since I work from home, I’m also happy to provide longer daytime stays or overnight care, as long as I’m able to work from your home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication for every pet in my care. Before a booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, exercise preferences, and any potential concerns. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets so I can respond quickly if anything seems unusual. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep doors, gates, and other escape routes secure, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to rest. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away!
