“Mariah, Kyle and family took good care of our 10 yr. old Portuguese Water Dog during our week long family vacation. They treated him like he was part of the family and he enjoyed being around their dog and another one they were also boarding. Having a fenced in yard was perfect for playing and getting exercise. They were easy to communicate with and wonderful about giving regular updates and sending photos.”
“Jaclyn was great with my dog, Moose. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos to make me feel at ease with him in another place! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Austin and Francis were amazing! We boarded our yellow lab with them for two nights over the Fourth of July holiday weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better home for our dog Rocky! The family took him on long walks, made home made dog treats and gave him so much love! They are by far the best find on Rover...Rocky will definitely be coming back to visit them!”
“Janice was a very good communicator and provided me with many updates - including pictures - as she watched my pup. I was very comfortable with her caring for my pup. I would employ her again for sure!”
“Christina was great with Molly and treated her as if she was her own. They bonded right away and Molly was very happy and comfortable. It gave me great peace of mind to know she was being so well looked after. I will definitely use Christina again!”
“Jennifer is wonderful! She cared for my 3 dogs for a week while I was out of the country. I felt comfortable the entire time. She gave daily updates with fantastic photos of everyone having fun. I know my crew can be a lot to handle at times and she did a fantastic job! Thanks again, Jennifer!!”
“Kimberly was so great to our dog! She had her for a week and texted us updates twice a day which was perfect. She is very sweet. She monitored our dog’s food and water intake and also made sure she was getting nice long walks! We really felt comfortable with her!! Thank you so much!”
“We felt very fortunate that Amybeth was available to watch Maizy for the first time when we were traveling to see family in CT for a weekend in December. She read Maizy’s profile, asked questions and offered a meet and greet. When we arrived, it was obvious how much of a dog person Amybeth is!! She told Maizy she could explore her home and go anywhere. Maizy went in the living room then upstairs then back down and back up. LOL Seeing our shy Maizy feeling so comfortable and taking a treat from Amybeth totally set us at ease. Daily updates kept me relaxed, knowing Maizy was having fun, too! We highly recommend Amybeth and look forward to booking with her in the future!’”
“Alma took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! He got lots of exercise and had so much fun playing with Birdie. Alma had a great setup at home and her communication was top notch.”
“Jay was a perfect host. Incredibly kind and welcoming. He was alert to what my dog needed and sent thorough and thoughtful updates while I was away. On my return, my dog had clearly connected with him after 24 hours and was totally at ease in this unfamiliar space. Beyond what I had hoped for. Will for sure connect with him again if I need a pet-sitter in the Portland area.”
“Rose was incredible! She sent multiple picture and video updates everyday, took my pup on adventures, and was excellent at communicating. I will definitely be utilizing Rose in the future.”
“Stefany was amazing. She accepted my last minute request and responded to all my messages very quickly. She gave me lots of updates and bonded immediately with my dog, even though he can be picky about people sometimes. Would recommend for anyone who needs a dog sitter in Maine!”
About: Hi my name is Rachel! I’m excited to meet you and your furbaby! I have a 7 year old husky and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have professional experience working at a dog training school which included training, walking, feeding, and playing the dogs. This experience gave me knowledge that will keep your dog safe and engaged with my care. There I dealt with hundreds of different dogs. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes. FOR DAYCARE - my husband and I both work remotely M,T,F. Accepting dogs these days in our home. We have a large fenced in back yard, secure enough that keeps our husky in. Your pup can hang out there all day or in our home. I also love cats so much and love hanging out with them! I’ll go at their own pace and give as much pets and play time as they’ll have. Owning a husky and working for a dog daycare center has exposed me to many different temperaments. My own dog can be very high energy and difficult at times, so I’m used to it all!
“Kris was so great! Super flexible and communicative. Russell had a great time - I also enjoyed getting to learn about her work as an artist! Truly an unexpected bonus! Will definitely use her again if I’m back in Portland”
About: I'm dedicated to your dog's well-being and offer genuine love, playful engagement, and a safe home and environment to ensure a stress-free experience. I have been a dog owner my entire life and I know how to read the body language of dogs. I nurture trust so that your dog is as happy here as s/he is in your home. We have two rescue dogs here in the home, Phoebe and Canela. Phoebe has been with us since she was a tiny chiweenie puppy six years ago, and Canela is a two year old sweetheart that was starving/living on the streets in Oaxaca, Mexico. Little did I know when I fell in love with her that the only way to get her home was to have her driven here in February! I am a writer and have a small gardening & vintage business which allows me to be at home close to full-time. Because I have a fenced in yard, I leave the door to my back porch open and our dogs go in and out of the home as they wish. I am here to monitor them, of course! I have a big fenced yard and two dogs that love to play and go for walks on the Greenbelt which is across the street. When they are inside, they sleep like queens on the couch or bed. Their favorite activity when they are not playing is to stare out the front window from the bed and bark at all the dogs that dare walk by our home.
“We were very happy with the excellent care our dog received with Susan! He got a lot of playtime and exercise and she communicated quickly with us and accommodated some last minute changes in our schedule which we really appreciated!”

Scarborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachael was amazing with Maizy. Maizy vacationed with her for 8 nights. As promised, we received many pictures and updates daily. She was in tuned to how our girl was feeling and we could see the happiness on Maizy’s face in the pics. Rachel reached out with food questions when needed. We seriously could not have asked for a better vacation for our Maizy girl! Highly recommend Rachael! Hopr the secret doesn’t spread too fast so we can book Rachael again!
