“Elisabeth was the absolute best! Lots of pictures and great communication- my doggo had the biggest smile in every picture and video. She was very gracious accommodating my last minute request and my doggo was so happy at pick up. We will definitely be booking again with her!”
“We are so grateful to have found Kelly! She took such wonderful care of our dog while we were away, treating him like part of her own family. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates with photos that put us completely at ease. It was clear from the moment we met Kelly that she genuinely loves animals and has a real gift for connecting with them. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Kelly again for future stays!”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“Carmen was incredibly attentive and good with goose! I came home to a happy cat and received many pictures throughout the stay - she also went above and beyond and cleaned her litter box completely, as well as her food dishes! Id absolutely book with Carmen again.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Sridevi truly loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Her home is warm, clean, and perfectly set up for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Baxter came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for- honestly I think he had a little vacation of his own. I would absolutely recommend Sri to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“Christina is just plain awesome. She updates me with pictures and detailed descriptions of what she’s up to with my pup and it makes me feel so comfortable!! You can genuinely tell she just loves animals and that’s something that makes me feel at ease when I drop off Maverick (not to mention he gets so excited to see her now). My doggo comes home happy and exhausted everytime we book with her!! I am so glad I found Christina :)”
“Kseniia and her husband were excellent. They sent photos and videos throughout the stay. It was obvious our little guy was very comfortable with them and they took great care of him. They were also in a very convenient location and answered our texts immediately. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Vicky was a great sitter for my pup, Rhody! Rhody is super shy and can be anxious but Vicky made her comfortable right from the start. I loved all the picture updates and would definitely use Vicky again!”
“Viva is awesome. Timely, communicative and thoughtful with her questions. She made sure all the boxes were checked in terms of my dogs needs and habits. Pictures and updates everyday, which was awesome! She and her partner took the time to bring her on some great adventures too. Totally thankful for a no-stress experience so I could enjoy my vacation!”
“They did a great job taking care of our bulldog. He is a large breed and loves attention, their whole family gave him lots of love. They were flexible with our schedule and easy to work with. Would definitely use them again.”
“A big thank you to Trisha & Dan for taking such excellent care of Casey while we were away for 9 days, over Thanksgiving. Since Casey is older and has only stayed with family or friends for the last 13+ years, we were a little hesitant to leave him with just anyone and a kennel was not an option at his age. We found Trisha and Dan through Rover.com and the entire process was simply fantastic. Even with Casey being better than 90% deaf at this point, this was not an issue. We were able to meet Trisha before we made the reservation, to determine our and Casey’s comfort levels. In a word, we felt like they would be the right people to leave Casey with. Casey as well felt right at home during the meet and greet visit and got along great with Stout, Trisha & Dan’s dog. Drop off day came and when I brought Casey over, he “made himself right at home,” much to my dismay. Well, after that, Casey had a fantastic time. The photos we received made us feel so much better and they told the story, Casey just having a wonderful time. It even looked like he helped cook, although I am sure he was simply hoping Dan would drop his dinner. Casey slept on Stouts bed and Stout slept on Casey’s bed and both looked natural and relaxed. When we picked Casey up, he seemed sad and he did not want to leave. He slept all the next day and part if not most of the next day. Casey looked around for his new little friend Stout and he clearly misses him and the fun that they had together. We will be definitely requesting Trisha, Dan and Stout again in the future for all of Casey’s overnight stays as the comfort and confidence they provide was, in a word, incredible. Thank you again for the fantastic care and love Casey received. See you soon. ”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our dog Sam for an extended period of time. Heidi’s communication was great, she sent us video updates and pictures of sam which put us at ease. Sam had a blast playing with the other dogs and came home exhausted. We will definitely book with Heidi again”
“Our two dogs were very comfortable and happy there. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and does not like many people at all. She was very happy with Spencer and Emily. they obviously really love dogs! We highly recommend them!”
“Cindy was amazing. Great with communication and extremely flexible with our big flight cancellation/delay that lasted several days. I would definitely use her services again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
We recently were away on vacation and were very excited that our Maizy girl could go on her vacation at Rachael’s - again!! There is nothing like being away and knowing our furry girl is having as much fun as us. Lots of good walks & snuggles. As always, Rachael provided lots of photos through out Maizy’s stay. Maizy needs meds on a particular schedule & Rachael always follows through. Thank you Rachael for another fabulous vaca for our girl! See you soon!
Anne was very accommodating to last minute adjustments in my schedule when I needed to drop off and pick up my dog, Bee. She was prompt in updating me on how Bee was settling in and getting along with her dog. Anne provided a comfortable place for Bee to spend a couple of days - I’d definitely rebook with her in the future!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Scarborough on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Scarborough. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Scarborough sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Scarborough landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Scarborough 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 Scarborough.
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.
You and your Scarborough 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.
