About: While I am new to Rover, I have lots of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family. My whole life there’s been a rotation of dogs in my home (my parents never bothered getting a dog because we watched our friends’ so often) and in recent years I frequently do house visits to feed and entertain pets. I have had a cat before who I loved wholeheartedly and I would love to take care of yours. Please consider me as a candidate to help your family. Thank you! I have a flexible work schedule, so I can dog walk almost any time of day. However, I am not home all the time if your pet needs 24 hour care. For overnight jobs, happy to take your pet to my house or stay at yours. House is not puppy proof but I would be happy to set up an area for them. I have no pets at home.
“Amanda and Austin did a wonderful job taking care of my pup. Lots of play time in the yard with photos and updates. I could tell when I picked up Meadow that she was glowing and content. Very grateful for the care 😊🌸🌸🌸”
“Carmen and her sweet family are AMAZING!!! I booked two last minute boarding stays for my dog Dolly within the same week and she was incredibly accommodating to these last minute requests. I loved all the updates and pictures of Dolly and even more importantly Dolly was SO well cared for and loved. When we returned for the second stay Dolly was so excited to be back which gave me so much peace of mind. Dolly has spent very little time away especially overnight but I will trust Carmen going forward to care for Dolly in a heart beat. I am grateful to have found a safe and loving home for my girl while I'm away!!! Your dog will feel right at home ☺️”
“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!!”
“Amybeth is absolutely amazing! From drop off to pick up, she makes everything smooth. I have used her multiple times and will be using her again in the future. She sends you updates and pictures and make sure pets feel right at home. My dogs love staying with her! It puts us at ease to know they are in a good place when we are in need of a sitter.”

“Trisha is very kind and flexible, and I felt very reassured to leave my somewhat nervous little dog with her for her first time away from family members. She is communicative with pictures and prompt responses. Best of all, I felt like she appreciated my furry friend!”
“Emily, Kieran, and their lovely dog Leon are absolutely amazing. They took fantastic care of my pup Sally and made her feel like she was part of the family. They’re communicative, thoughtful, and absolutely rockstar sitters. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Laney was very accommodating of my two Huskies. I've been looking a long time to find not only a sitter, but one that would take good care of my pups and not be worried about their behavior. Although my boys are somewhat trained and are good with other dogs and kids, not everyone is willing to watch two Huskies! She also showed good care and is knowledgeable of training. I will definitely coming back!”
“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.”
“Kym and Robert have taken care of our dog, Rosie, multiple times over the last couple of years. They are reliable, caring, and keep us updated with photos and messages while we are away. Rosie is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return home. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Rosie is in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kym and Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scarborough
Kelly was absolutely perfect. Our Merlin was a recently adopted rescue and we were concerned about leaving him with anyone. We shouldn't have been. Kelly was so calm and calming that she had him settled in no time. There is no doubt in my mind that she was the best possible choice of dog care providers for us.
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
This was our first time using Karen and Steve and we won't ever go anywhere else! Griffey had the time of his life between long walks and beach visits. They spent extra time snuggling with him and I could not have asked for anything more! They are truly amazing!!!
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 Pet Boarding in Scarborough on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 299 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Scarborough. About 94% of Scarborough sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
