“Gwen was great! We took a last minute holiday trip to Portland and she was able to watch our dogs last minute while we tooled around the city. She lives in a cute, very clean condo about 10 mins from Old Port. Picked up two very happy pups!”


“Lindsay was great! She gave us tips on where to find vegan food, where we could park our RV as we were going on a whale watching tour. She took Maddie for walks and sent us pictures. Maddie was very comfortable with Lindsay. Lindsay was always quick to answer when we had questions. We highly recommend her.”


“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”


About: *Please note that our Day Care & Boarding rates are at a special rate for August and September while we build our Rover profile! We just ask that in return you'll be sure to write us a review based on the care we provide your doggo 💛* Hi there! We’re Amanda and Austen, a couple based in Scarborough with a dog of our own (our Mini Aussie, Mazie) and a lot of love to share with yours. When Amanda’s not caring for her sweet group of five-year-olds or Austen’s not out playing tennis, we’re spending time with Mazie, chasing seagulls at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or snuggling up on the couch after a snowy play session. We love active days just as much as laid-back ones, and we’re happy to match whatever energy your pup brings. We both grew up in homes with animals- at one point, Amanda had five dogs and a cat! We have cared for dogs of all breeds and energy levels, from teacup-size rescues to large-breed couch potatoes, plus plenty of other animals over the years (including Sparkles the Bearded Dragon, Amanda’s current classroom pet). We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced-in backyard that dogs love to explore. Austen works from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and we share responsibilities depending on the care your pet needs. Whether it’s a weekend adventure, daily daycare, or a cozy overnight stay, we’re here to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved. We offer care throughout the week and are happy to accommodate weekends, holidays, and special requests as our schedule allows. Austen works from home and provides consistent weekday care and supervision, while Amanda handles most weekend walks, drop-ins, and house sitting when needed. Between the two of us, your pet will never go long without company, playtime, or a potty break. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a last-minute trip, we’ll work with you to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. That’s why we always begin with a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with us, and you’re confident in the care we provide. We take a gentle, respectful approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and we’ll always ask for your guidance on what makes your pup feel safe and secure. Whether we’re in your home or ours, we want to provide a low-stress, enriching environment with plenty of attention, structure, and love. We’re also happy to provide regular updates (with photos!) and check-ins during every visit or stay, so you’re always in the loop - because we’d want the same from someone watching Mazie.

“A very safe wonderful place for my pup for the day. Easy access to their place and an adorable clean neighborhood. Lots of pics and walks. Ideal situation for us. Rachael was wonderful.”


“Alexa was awesome! It was clear Archie had a great time with her all day. He came back super happy and calm-so he’d been exercised and walked-he’d been drinking lots of water and she sent pictures and was very responsive! Definitely recommend Alexa 10/10!”


“It’s so hard to find a sitter who is willing to work with our schedule and then we found Alicia! She was great with communication and making sure we had plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day.”


“Rose made our Buddy feel right at home, he had a great time playing with his new friend while we were out on a whale watching cruise. We really appreciated the updates and photos while in her care. We would highly recommend her services!”


“Annie was fantastic! Winnie is not the easiest of dogs and Annie was gentle and patient with her. She found ways around things that Winnie doesn't enjoy, like being picked up, which is necessary because she can't do stairs.”


“Our Archie loves hanging out with Katy and her dog, Zuni, for doggy day care! Katy is very quick to reply, took great pictures and Archie always seems very happy and well-taken care of when we pick him up:)”


“Seth and his family were so welcoming to Fiona! They were accommodating and attentive but also laid back and flexible! Fiona had such a good day she immediately fell asleep when we got in the care. Seth was easy to communicate with and was so easy to meet. Will definitely be booking with them again!”


“Amybeth was amazing! She took care of Frida so I could attend my friend’s white coat ceremony. She sent great updates and made my anxious dog feel safe and at home. I picked up a tired and happy pup at the end of the day. I am so grateful for the care she provided!”



“Joshua is great. He and his wife were able to accommodate my 9 week old puppy last minute to watch him in their home during the week. They sent pictures and kept me updated! Will for sure use him again and will recommend for anyone needing someone to watch their pup.”



About: We have a loving home and love sharing it with dogs! We've lost Buddy, our dog of 17 years, and Bruno, our dog of 13 years. We miss them! and want more dog love in our lives but we're not ready for one of our own quite yet. So we'd love to love yours! Karen is home so your dogs won't be left alone for more than a few hours at a time and only occasionally. (On weekends, one of us and sometimes both of us are always home!) We have a big yard and we're just 2 miles from the beach, where we love to take our dogs! We are kind animal lovers. We will treat your dogs the way we would love ours to be treated. We don't have a fussy house so if your dog likes to hop up on the couch, no problem! We look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)! We have hosted many dogs through Rover, with many repeat customers, so please see our reviews!! We have been Rover hosts for over 4 years and are nearing 100 5 star reviews!! Thank you!! Karen & Steve Karen is home most of the time. Steve is home every day after 4 and we are either both home on weekends or one of us will be home on the weekend. Basically, someone is always home. We do go out, of course and your dog would need to be able to be left alone without separation anxiety. We have a quiet, safe and loving home. It is just the two of us who live here. Our home is completely dog friendly and the dogs stay on the first floor. There is easy access to the back yard via our deck so no stairs to navigate if your dog is an elder pup. We have a large (unfenced) yard so the dogs have a change to get some fresh air in between trips to the beach, woods, park, etc.
