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.
“Amanda and Austin were able to take my dog Willow after we had another Rover cancel on us. They were communicative and Willow came home happy and well taken care of.”

“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!”


“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”

“Emily and Kieran were so great with Chewy! I met with them and Leon leading up to the booking which was great so that our dogs met ahead of time. They sent periodic updates which was awesome and put me at ease. It was a wonderful first experience using Rover.”

“Alma is a fantastic, caring and communicative dog sitter with a wonderful home. Our dog became comfortable very quickly, and we look forward to many future stays!”

“As always, Maizy enjoyed her time at Rachael’s. She basically went in her house and walked around for a couple minutes, then laid down. Ready to relax! We were able to visit friends in Boston knowing Maizy was being extra well taken care of. Thank you again, Rachael. See you soon for another upcoming weekend stay for our girl!!”
“Janice was wonderful. She accommodated us when we needed to make changes to our booking. She sent pictures and let us know how Sophia was doing. Sophia took to Janice immediately. She was exceptional in every way. We highly recommend her services.”


“We were visiting from out of town and needed someone last minute. Marna was quick to respond and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pup with her. We even forgot to bring food and she kindly provided that as well. Highly recommend!”

“Overall, our dog did well at Heidi’s house because he loves to be a pack animal and wishes he were at the dog park 24/7. This is not the place to go if your dog gets overwhelmed by other dogs. Although Heidi I was nervous when dropping Benny off at Heidi’s because about 30 dogs were staying at her house and it seemed very hectic upon arrival. I thought there were going to be way less dogs, and assumed from her profile photos that she had more of a kennel set up in her house. However, all went well and Benny came back safely. I was impressed by Heidi’s ability to keep up with all of the dogs she was watching, while maintaining communication with owners. Benny came back super exhausted and overstimulated, but I was thankful that he had a very active time and was distracted from being homesick. Heidi’s outdoor space for the dogs is huge and looks very secure, so her place would be perfect for the summer.”

“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”

“Kyle and Mariah were fantastic caretakers for Lobo for the past week! Got photo updates multiple times per day, and it's clear that he had a TON of engagement and activity - he put himself to bed when we got home 😂. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have loved and been loved by animals my entire life. :-) t would be my absolute honor to care for your pet! I have off-app pet sitting/walking and house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all personalities or ages. I currently regularly watch a reactive golden doodle and two kitties. On top of that, I also have my own baby cat named Jojo. I am extremely flexible and willing to answer any questions. I look forward to meeting your loved ones. Please reach out with any additional information wanted! I work full time Sunday-Thursday from 3pm-11pm. I am available for any pet care before 3pm on those days, and all day long on Friday and Saturday. I am also willing to be flexible and see what I can do for emergency situations where a pet needs attention while I am at work. I love being active! Taking dogs for walks, play and providing enrichment is something I value a lot. I also believe play and attention are important for cats too. Ideally, a clear idea of what your pets day to day looks like will help us both be set up for success. I am fully willing to follow whatever your pets needs are. I just want them to be happy!
Scarborough pet parents share their Rover experiences
As a dog mom, best thing is bringing our girl to drop off and having her wag her tail like she’s seeing a family member! Maizy is so excited to see Rachael every time💗. Maizy enjoys lots of walks, pets and love. We couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, Rachel!! And thank you so much for the beautiful holiday card full of Maizy pictures. Sweetest card ever!
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!
