Highly-rated overnight sitters - Cape Porpoise
“Jaclyn and her family were so great with Tilly! I’m so happy to have found them. They took Tilly for an overnight with pretty short notice. This was our first time boarding her and she has a bit of separation anxiety, so I was a little nervous to see how she did. But I could tell from the videos they sent of her meeting each dog and then the updates they sent throughout her stay that she felt right at home and was having the time of her life. She’s passed out cold now which is always a good sign. Thanks so much Jaclyn and Eric!”
“We had a last-minute out-of-town trip come together, and Khaila jumped in to help — she and her son were just lovely. Our pup, Rosie, is only 4 months old, and Khaila was gracious and patient with all of her puppy behavior. She sent photos of Rosie’s slumber party antics and was accommodating when we were running late for pickup.”
“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”
“Wowza!!!! Janice is amazing! Not only did she provide tender loving care for our dog, Pasquale, but she was sooooo accommodating when our flights were changed last minute. We could not have found a better match for our needs. We love Janice….XO😘”
“Katie was great with drop off and pickup. She administered Clover’s meds and was quick to get back to me when I communicated with her. She was also very flexible with my late pickup when plans changed, and I really appreciate that.”
“We used Carmen for the first time leaving our dog Griffey for a week for the very first time. Carmen was so attentive in providing updates and great pictures. Griffey loved the time he spent with her family and we appreciate her so much!!!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”
“Thanks for taking great care of Annie and Gracie and the photos of them. It made our attending the family wedding even more enjoyable as we knew they were safe and happy. Thanks very much.”
“Primrose had a good time at Kellie's playing with her two chihuahuas and running around their large fenced in backyard. She was a tired happy puppy when we got her home. Thank you for giving Rosie a home away from home for the weekend! :)”
“Kelly took Copper in and gave him 100% attention for the days I was gone. I am very very pleased with how she cared for him. I highly Recommend Kelly. Top of the line caring dog sitter.”
“Kseniia was amazing with our dog. It was his first time being away from us for an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. He was def on high alter in a new place, but she was so patient with him! I also really appreciated the daily pics and videos and her patience with us as our flights got changed and cancelled multiple times.”
“Trisha totally saved me! I had to go away for a few days, pretty last-minute, and she saved the day. My dog really is everything to me, and I felt so reassured through my time away that he was safe and happy. She sent photos of him the whole time, and put up with his many, many quirks. Pretty sure my dog is now desperately missing her kiddos now that he’s back home with me. I would definitely recommend Trisha and her family!”
“I’m so happy we found Sergey at the last minute. My two dogs stayed with Sergey’s for six nights. They came home tired, happy, and clean. Sergey was extremely flexible with our timing when our travel was delayed. I would not hesitate to recommend Sergey as a pet sitter.”
“Elisabeth makes Louise feel so welcome and at home. Louise is so excited to get out of the car there and I am so at ease knowing she is so well cared for. Highly highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“First of all, let me start by saying this couple is by far one of the nicest families I’ve met out here. Last minute booking and they welcomed my pup with open arms. Cassidy and Cody kept me up to snuff with day to day life while I was away and even sent pictures of them on adventures. They took great care of my pup and their sweet kids spoiled him with hourly cuddles and brushes so he came home looking like a million bucks. Thank you to the entire family for taking such great care of my boy. Aloha”

“My husband and I were in town for a funeral and needed a quick and great person to watch our 5month old Husky. We booked her 2x, back to back days and she was so quick to make space for our baby and we really appreciate that! Amanda was super easy to work with and Koda was so happy to see her the 2nd time around he jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. We also communicated throughout the day for updates and that was really appreciated as a first time puppy mama!”
“Bailey loves Kate. They played together and went on walks. I felt he was in good hands. I completely trusted her. Such a nice feeling to know your dog is both safe and happy.”
“Khaila provided amazing day care for my almost 2 year old cockapoo when I had a long work day. She was patient and gentle with him despite him being a nervous boy at first. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Peter T knows his dogs. He is the most caring, knowledgeable, compassionate guy. My Rosie loved him from the get go. Look no further for the person who takes as much care and love as Peter T. I would drive from Massachusetts to Wells ME for this guy!!!! My husbands stress level dropped when we left her with him. On a scale of 1-5, i’d give him a 5 being the best st what he does.”
“Jeanne has a lovely space and is very careful with the dogs under her care. Our lab spent a lovely afternoon with her while we were in Ogunquit, and came back relaxed and happy.”
“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”
“Vanessa is the first pet sitter we have tried since moving out of state and we feel very lucky we found her. She is very caring and loving and her house and yard are very well suited for safety and comfort. Both Princess and I felt comfortable after our meet and greet. Princess had an excellent day there with Vanessa and her pup Pepper who is a very sweet and good boy! I highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely be booking more stays with her!”
About: I’ve loved animals and grew up with them my entire life. I’m most comfortable with dogs and cats, but I can accommodate additional pets with direction and can deal with all different pet personalities quite well! I’m currently working from home, so my availability is quite open for most situations. I’m also open and would love something regular where I can stop in and do house calls or walks for those pet parents that had to return to the office! I can be flexible! I understand that your pet is your family, and I take that very very seriously. I promise to always treat them well and have their safety as a top priority.
“We left our sweet Bichon with Cassidy while attending a wedding nearby. We received a pic of him during the wedding and felt reassured. We picked him up to find him in fine form, having played and cuddled like he does at home. Recommend.”

About: I recently adopted a Cockapoo named Lucy. She is a total sweetheart and loves people and other dogs. I previously owned my own Boxer, Ava, for 9 years. She passed away 2 years ago and so I started working for Rover to share my love, compassion and support to dog owners seeking companionship and enrichment activity for their dog. I am available to watch your dog during the week or weekends. Need a break from your dog so you can enjoy “me” time or have a nice weekend? Then reach out and contact me! I am a huge animal lover and therefore I am available to assist with daily activities (feeding, medications, potty time) and enrichment (walk & play time) including overnight boarding. I am a home owner that provides a 'cozy' and healthy environment. I have a large backyard and live in a nice area in Kennebunkport. I will always have your dog on a long leash to allow him/her to roam safely with me tagging along. I am someone who is very structured and believe that providing consistency & structure to a dog is very important. I do not believe in striking or hitting any animal no matter the reason. I will treat your dog with care like it is my own.

Before I had cats, I had a Belgian Malinois/Australian Shepherd mix, so that's just to say I am also experienced with some of the more high energy and higher maintenance breeds. I have a good amount of availability these days. I currently set my own schedule of taking care of pets, and teaching private ballet lessons. I would offer dedicated care and attention to your pet while you are away. I'm happy to spend time playing or interacting with them as well as covering their other necessary needs ie. food, water, medications, bathroom breaks, or litter box cleaning.

I typically work 10-3 pm M-F, but am free most evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out with any questions:) I am not currently offering in-home care, but I'm willing to come to yours! My main experience is with cats: providing them with wet and dry food, cleaning their litterbox, changing out their water, and playing with them. I have also dog-sit for dogs in my own home, with the main responsibilities being feeding them and bringing them on walks. However, I am flexible in terms of responsibilities and what works best for you and your pet. 🐾

I have lived with dogs of all sizes from havaneses and pugs to a malamute/husky mix and boxer. I know how important it is to have a dog caregiver you can trust, so let me give you the peace of mind your furry child will be in safe and loving care. There is no day off in dog care, my favorite part of my day is spending time with my dogs to ensure they remain happy and healthy! Knowing every dog has their own personality, every encounter will be different. My biggest concern is making sure your dog feels comfortable with me to ensure we both have a great time during their enrichment!

I fully trust Claudia and Jason and am so grateful to them.”

She sent videos and updates daily and was always quick to respond. I would definitely book again!!”
