About: Hi, my name is Michael and I am a proud owner of a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and my dog and I would both love to have your pups company. Please let me know if you have any special instructions and I promise your pup will have a comfortable stay with many fun walks. Thanks! I provide 5 walks a day for my own pup and would love for your dog to join. I work from home so your dog will have ongoing company throughout most of the day. I have one friendly dog in a quiet calm environment with no children. I will feed and walk your doggy as requested, and can provide lots of pets as well.
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of family and friends since I was in my teens, but more extensively in college and since. For 3 years I boarded and sat for three different family friends. I’ve personally helped raise 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve even helped herd sheep and tamed alpacas! I work nearly full-time as a server at a restaurant, so Wednesday to Saturday night I’m unavailable for somewhere between 6-9 hours on those days. When I have my off days I’m usually at home or out for a walk. I’m usually efficient with my errands and have extensive free time on off days. My apartment is a one bedroom, so if I’m not playing around the apartment with the pet, I’d want to bring them on a walk or to the park. I have a very comfortable bedroom conducive to nap time, and I live in the heart of Old Port. Whenever I am with pets in my house I am always looking to set up a cozy space for them to relax with blankets, pillows, their favorite toys. I try to make them feel like a proper guest in my home like anyone else. My apartment is always very quiet despite being downtown, but I would hope to find activities we could do in and around Portland to help keep them active and entertained.
About: Caring, energetic, dog lover available to provide walks, general care and companionship either at owners home or at my place with a fenced-in yard. I have a flexible schedule when I’m in town but I travel once a month for a few days. I’m seeking arrangements that are aligned. I’d be happy to provide walks, drop in to the dog’s home to care for them or care for the dog for a half day or longer in my home. I have a fenced in yard.
“This was our first time using Rover and Harrison was wonderful! We got pictures and updates throughout Bruschi's entire stay with Harrison. When we picked up Bruschi - he was happy and well adjusted!!”
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 :))
“Ziggy had such a great time with Lizzy. She took him on lots of adventures and gave us tons of updates. He came home tired and happy, it was a great fit. She was so easy to communicate with too! We will definitely book with Lizzy again!”
“My big boy is so sensitive and so spoiled. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family. We had a family event and our floors were getting done so I explored Grover for this reason. I felt so nervous! But, I had nothing to worry about with Rebecca! She sent me pictures and reassurance throughout his stay. He had a blast! Thank you, Rebbecca! It was a wonderful experience for all of us! I can’t say enough, kind words to express how grateful we are…..”
“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.”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“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!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Stacy for a long weekend! It’s clear how much she cares for her own animals and was so thoughtful introducing our dog into the mix, sending pictures and updates throughout our time away. Our girl was happy and tired - I would absolutely bring her back.”
“Frank spent a week with Chelsea and her pups and cats in her home and had so much fun! We felt great that he had such a nice safe place to stay while we stayed nearby at a house that was not dog-friendly. Chelsea took him to the park and the beach and sent us lots of pictures and updates. He came back looking great and is very tired!”
About: I take myself out for walks anyway, dogs are just amazing company! I'm excited to get your dogs moving outside in a safe way that burns off some energy and allows exploration! I love being outdoors in any weather condition. Being away from home, I dearly miss my own dog, so spending quality time with some of the best creatures in the world is an amazing added bonus. I’m available weekdays before 11:30, and any time on weekends! I work in the afternoons, so my availability is before 11:30 and after 6 pm on weekdays. I’m happy to be flexible to suit your changing needs, especially if something comes up last minute that you need support with! I know it’s an act of extreme trust to have another person interact with your fur babies and I take that responsibility extremely seriously!! Whether in your home, my home, or just walking around the neighborhood, I promise to pay attention to, care for, and love your pets like they are my own!
“Avital was an amazing sitter for our 11yo dog. They checked in with us regularly and sent photos everyday. Our dog required daily medications from a recent surgery and Avital was super comfortable with this. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous going into it, but Avital quickly made us feel comfortable leaving our girl with them. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“They took great care of my little Maya for two weeks, accepting the booking mere days before my trip. They were pleasant, professional, and provided many updates that all reflected my happy, and comfortable little girl. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with them again in the future. Thank you!”
“Natalie was great as always! Roo absolutely loves staying with Natalie and is always very happy when she sees her. We feel she's in great hands whenever we go on vacation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
We had a wonderful experience! Kelly watched our dog while we were getting married, and we couldn’t have asked for someone better to care for our girl during such a busy and important weekend. Having someone reliable and trustworthy to look after her gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was great, and we felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pup and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter on Rover! 🐾❤️
Rachael is a lifesaver. Our dog can be anxious and has never stayed overnight with anyone but family. He felt at home with Rachael and her household. She sent several photo updates and I felt confident he was being well cared for. We are grateful to have found her and look forward to using her again!
Veronique took excellent care of our cat chessie while we were away for several weeks. She was very communicative and willing to accommodate our late pick up. Our cat is a little shy and didn't necessarily bond with the kids, but it was apparent that she made an effort to make sure chessy was comfortable during her stay. Definitely reccomend Veronique to any fellow pet-parents
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!
