“Rebecca was amazing! We had so many issues with our transportation and ended up having to drop-off and pick-up and different times. She was so understanding and flexible. Our dog Pepper can be very stressed and particular when we are apart, but she had such a great time with Rebecca! Would 100% book again next time we are in Maine!”
“We, and maybe more importantly our dog, adore Cindy. Our dog now happily gets out of the car to greet Cindy and adjusted quickly to being there. She has been flexible with our timing as we had a last minute change in timing. We got pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Audrey was so good with our pup, Luna! She came back to us so happy and well cared for. She made a very last minute stressful change so much better! Thank you for opening your home to our girl!”
About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years, for both my own pets and others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer drop-ins to provide potty breaks, mid-day walks, house sitting for your cats, dog boarding in my home, and doggy daycare services. I work from home for the majority of the week, so my home offers constant companionship for those needing some support during the day or while their people are away. A few things that set my care apart: - Experience with crate training/trained dogs. I can offer support in that field if it is something you are working on with your dog. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs, as well as older dogs who may prefer a quieter environment. My home office space provides a calm space to spend the day with me individually. - Competitive rates and flexible scheduling. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed as long as instructions are provided. Your pet will always feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care. My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience and space to accommodate that. I do require that for overnight bookings, if your dog is crate trained, that you bring their crate with them. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I will not wander around the home; it is strictly in to fill water and food, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private and personal, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for your pets and your home.
“Jessica is fantastic. She was so good with our two pups for an overnight stay! She sent the best pictures, played with our pups with her children, and gave them a great place to stay for the night. Would highly recommend Jessica; and we will definitely not hesitate to send our dogs to her again!”
“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”
“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“Our dog, Maggie was happy with Abigail and Neil. They sent a few photos. She has a lot of energy and I'm sure she kept their dog, Molly busy. I appreciate them allowing Maggie to roam free in their home and on furniture.”
“Christina took great care of our dog! She provided fantastic photos and updates so we felt at ease. It’s clear how much she loves animals; highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“We were lucky enough to find Heidi for our two dogs while we were in Portland for a weekend wedding. From the beginning Heidi was responsive and easy to book. She went above and beyond for our dogs during their stay with her. We were very nervous for one of our dogs who has developed new stranger reactivity and from the get go Heidi was calm, patient and kind, within 3 minutes they were best friends. She was also excellent with our other dog who is recovering from an injury. Needless to say we had an excellent experience and were able to truly enjoy our weekend knowing our pups were in good hands with Heidi.”
“A very clean and comfortable environment for my 2 boys to stay while we were away. Good communicator while we were away. Also took on my wild 9mo old golden, who was able to get some energy out in the spacious back yard!”
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“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.”
“Finding someone that you can trust that will care for and love your fur baby as you do can be challenging. We were able to find someone and more in Robin. From the moment we started taking to the meet and greet to leaving Remy with her for a few days was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and fast right from the beginning. We weren't gone long before she was already sending pictures which is something we said we would take any time.. throughout our few days away we received many updates and pictures and from the pictures we could see that Remy was very happy and being cared and loved just as we do. Robin's compassion to take care of and spend time with animals is very clear. Remy even seemed a little sad after we picked him up and brought him home like he missed her and her fun dog Stella. We can't recommend Robin enough and we will definitely be using again!”
“Kimberly did an amazing job boarding Fenway for 6 days! She took such great care of him and gave me awesome updates throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Fenway was clearly well loved and comfortable with her. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I was raised with cats, and can't imagine the farm I grew up on without them. I've sat for a range of kitties of all ages and personalities. I would love to snuggle with a kitty, but am also respectful of non-cuddly friends. I'm the person who talks to animals before people when I enter a home... My cat/fur-sibling is named Sirius Black because she is so dog-like.
About: Gosh I have had cats my whole life , I have worked with them every day in vet med . I also have fostered ferals. And worked with feral rescues fund raising and caring for them . I understand that not every kitty is going to be friendly and out going . I respect that . But will try my Best to be your kitties new best friend . :)
“Martha was fantastic with our cats. They like to hide when new people visit and she was able to get them to come out from their hiding spots on day one. She kept everything tidy, they have a tendency to go wild in the litter box. I felt confident that she would be able to handle any situation that may arise while we were gone. I highly recommend her.”
“I could not be happier with Cheyanne’s loving care of Leo the cat. He clearly took to her right away, which is impressive, as he usually takes a while. In addition to taking care of his needs, she spent time hanging out with him, playing, brushing, etc. It’s obvious that she has a real way with animals and loves caring for them. So glad to have found her!”
“This was the first time I have been away from my pets for an extended period of time. Nicole was great, very reassuring, and I was so thrilled to see her daily pictures. Even it was me. My cat was hissing at her.🤣 I highly recommend her for pet sitting”
“We’d give 10 stars if we could! Stacy was so professional, quick to respond to our inquiries (this was our first experience with Rover), communicative while we were away, and most importantly so attentive to our old man’s needs and well-being. She went the extra mile in keeping his room “tidy” as well. We feel lucky to have found her!”
About: With 30 years of experience, previous dog training, your pup, senior, any age dog is in caring and attentive hands. I interact, play, talk and walk your pet. They have my attention 24/7 full time. I don't split my attention with work from home job so your loved one has literally 24/7 attention! Let's meet or chat and say HI ! I have a small dog of my own, a little whipper snapper Klee Kai who is a retired service dog. But he respects older dogs too. I am a good pet human to those I am caring for. Your dog has safe and spacious areas to play and there are walking/snowmobile trails very close by where I take longer walks 3-4 times a day weather permitting and depending on your dog's energy level . I have had hens, rabbits, dogs, birds, farm animals and plenty of other critters over the years so am very accustomed to caring for animals on a daily basis. I have dog training experience. Your dog must be house trained, spayed or neutered and know basic commands,be non aggressive and leash trained and have topical flea/tick treatment and be up to date on all vaccinations. Unless you direct, I don't put pets in a crate though I do have 2 available if you prefer I use it at night. Your pet is with me 24/7 so has company and supervision. I have a fully fenced area but it's NOT SUITABLE if your dog digs under fences or can jump a 4' fence! I live walking distance to really nice hiking/snow mobile trails. I keep dogs on a leash at all times except in my fenced area where they can stretch and for bathroom and play. I adjust my routine to your pet. This is my full time passion. I'm not a kid filling in time and do this because I absolutely love having your pup! I take your dog on multiple walks every day. If I am taking care of your pet in your home, they get the same attention while I'm at your home, though I do prefer boarding at my home. I require owners permission to transport your dog in my vehicle to the hiking trails since I won't cross any busier roads with any pet on a leash. It's safer to drive to them a few minutes away. Your pets are NEVER EVER left unattended and alone in my vehicle. Dogs must come clean (no bad or strong smells), food dishes, adequate food for the time they are with me, a favorite toy (though I have a full box of clean toys) and vet info in advance. PLEASE NOTE, DOGGY DAY CARE is any 8 hour period until 5:30 PM daily. Prefer 8:30 AM arrival but earlier is definitely possible too. After 8 hrs, it's an additional $10 hr. This site doesn't let me customize schedules with time frames. This is full time for me. Pick up/drop off is between 8:30AM - 5:30 PM but can be earlier or later with advance notice. Extended hours are available with prior notice and additional fee of $15 hr. Doggie day care is between 8:30AM- 5:30 PM (8 hrs per session between those hours. Day care is no more than 8 hrs for the flat daily rate. Overnight rates are 24 hrs and $15 hr will be added after 24 hrs I have a fenced yard which pets are free to be in unleashed. My front deck is gated so pets can be outside under cover. Back deck is also enclosed into the pet area and has a roof.
“Eliot was communicative and flexible with our plans. We had some initial concerns about our cat with Eliot’s dogs but she put those concerns at ease. Her pups did great and so did our cat with them. We’ll certainly be leaning on Eliot again next time we travel. Thank you!”
“Rosie was great! This was the first time I’ve used a cat sitter to check in before and I felt totally comfortable having Rosie pop in after I met her. Luna liked her instantly and all went really smoothly!”
About: I’m Cody! I grew up with 3 dogs, and I worked at a dog daycare for over a year. I’ve done on and off pet-sitting and walking through craigslist and friends over the years as well. I have 2 cats and a rabbit at home, so I’m good with all different types of animals. I can do pet sitting, check ins, and walks. I have a car with a large backseat so I could also transport your pet to a park or a preferred walking trail if you’d like. I am available weekday mornings before 8am and afternoons after 4pm. My weekends are completely open! Thank you for considering me to hang out with your pets and I hope to hear from you soon! Cody
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I currently am the proud owner of a frenchton, named Tito. I grew up in Maine with many dogs of all different breeds and ages. I know how challenging it can be choose someone to care for your pets. I want to reassure that your pet will be taken care of the same way I take care of my sweet Tito. I know that a pet owner needs to be vigilant, aware and sensitive to the pets needs. I’m so excited and I want to give reassurance that your pet will be cared for as well as my own. After all, they are family. I work full-time as a healthcare professional typically but taking the summer off! I have a lot of free time right now and would love to spend it with your fur babies! I am available for drop ins and will be very respectful of the owners space. I follow instructions well and will communicate effectively. I know how trusting someone has to be to let someone into their house and take care of their animals. I have used rover for care of my dogs and I wanted to instill that trust with my clients.
“Miranda was on time and very conscientious providing detailed updates on our dog and lots of photos that we loved! We felt at ease knowing she would be in good hands with Miranda. Will definitely book with her again!”

“We are so lucky to have found Rebecca! Our dog has a hard time being away from us, but when we get to Rebecca’s house, our dog walks right in with a wagging tail and doesn’t even look back! What a great, calm, and relaxing spot to be a dog.”
“Audrey watched our 3 month old puppy for the day and was absolutely wonderful! She sent us pictures and videos to show us how much fun he was having! He came home so happy and exhausted from all his playtime!! I would definitely recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a loving pet sitter in a safe home environment!”
About: My entire life has always revolved around animals. As a lifelong equestrian, I’ve grown up taking care of horses and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Previously a barn manager, I’m now a pet & equine photographer. That means when I’m not at a horse show or photoshoot, I’m at my desk at home with my own two senior dogs curled underneath. My years in the horse world and now with senior dogs has taught me how to apply topical medication, give injections and oral meds, and how to recognize and redirect problematic behavior. Living on 15 wooded acres set back from the road means there is plenty of space for pups to run around as well as numerous off leash walking trails should your pup be up for it. Staying with me is like a country retreat for your pet - walks through the forest and sunsets and squirrel watching from the deck. If you're lucky, you might even get some professional photos out of it. As a self-employed pet photographer, I work from home when I’m not at a horse show or photo shoot. This gives me lots of flexibility day to day and during the day. I like to let dogs approach me as they feel comfortable and understand that dogs are capable of a wide range of personalities. My number one priority is that everyone feels safe and has their needs met. In my home, well behaved and responsive dogs may be allowed off-leash outside as we have plenty of space far from the nearest road. Dogs that can’t be trusted off leash will enjoy wooded walks around the property or nearby dog-friendly trails.
“Eliot was very good to my pup! She took her on several walks throughout the day, sent me photo updates and I’m just so thrilled she got social time with other doggos. She is in a deep slumber!”

“Chelsea has been watching our pup CJ for day care for several weeks now and CJ loves it. She takes great care of the dogs in her care and keeps us updated with her activities and pics. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals and getting to meet new four legged friends. I have lots of experience dog sitting and walking friends' dogs over the years. I have been a dog mom to two rescue dogs and worked diligently on their training. Rupert is my fur baby at the moment and he's a very well socialized adventure partner. Dog training is an interest of mine and I'd be happy to work with your dog on any skills or behaviors while they stay with us. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters over the years, making sure all the animals get attention and walks. I'm currently a stay at home Mom to a toddler which allowd me to be attentive to your pets' needs throughout the day. Your dog will have human and dog company throughout the day. I enjoy going on hikes and walks so I can make sure your dog gets enough exercise everyday. I currently have a friendly 6 y/o mutt who loves having another dog to play with too.

“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”
“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.”

I am reliable and honest which are important qualities when leaving your pet with someone. I will care for each pet like they are my own and will do whatever the owner needs to feel comfortable leaving there pet with me! I am 35 years old, live in Lewiston, ME.

We are also located near parks which I take my own dog to on a daily basis
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Marna was calm and patient with our little chihuahua, Miika. Miika was happy and relaxed when she was picked up. I highly recommend Marna and will definitely be using her services again.”
“Grace was a wonderful sitter for my anxious dog, Murphy. He settled in quickly with her and I could see from the photos she sent that he was having a good time. I called at the last minute and she was free. I was late the next morning and she was fine with that. So both Murph and I are very happy with Grace and will be using her again for sure. A good dog sitter is gold. And Grace is very gold.”
“Robin was excellent!! She was very attentive and sent lots of pictures and videos. My pup has some quirks, especially with big dogs but Robin knew exactly how to introduce Steiny to her dog Stella. Stella was also clearly a pro at dealing with the smaller more neurotic fuzz balls lol. It looked like they were best buds by the end. Very much appreciated Robin accommodating my last minute request! Will definitely be reaching out again.”

About: Who's a good dog? All of them. My step-dog is the love of my life, and I'm the person who talks to animals more than humans at a party. I have experience with: Dogs, cats, fish, rodents, horses, chickens, other birds, reptiles, and more. As a former field biologist, I handled a wide variety of animals and completed Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) training. I'm open to caring for almost any critter. Send me a message so we can discuss what your critter needs. New-ish to Rover. Previously, all my clients were by word of mouth in extreme southern Maine and New Hampshire. We recently moved, and I decided it was time to join Rover. My schedule is variable, so just message me so we can discuss what your critter needs. This summer I have lots of availability. Thank you! I am currently not taking client's pets into my own home. I am open to a variety of conditions for home visits/walks/play dates/check-ins. Just send me a message so we can discuss your set up and what your critter needs.
“Stacy is wonderful with my pets. She is patient and works well with my schedule. Stacy is an excellent communicator and follows through with the daily routine. I highly recommend her!”
“Already booked follow up walks! We had reached out to a few people to see about getting Brinkley a regular Saturday walker. One of my top choices messaged back and said she was out of town for a couple weeks but Riley was staying at her place and could pick up the ones until she is back. Riley came by and hung out with us and Brinkley for 20-minutes before the walk! He is a shy boy who takes some time to warm up and she was so great with him. It was crazy cold that day and Riley had zero hesitation -- and she was engaged every second... even longer than she needed to! We've had a couple of bad walker experiences as of late (either ignoring our one non-negotiable rule which almost ended in tragedy or taking him to the park and sitting with him for long periods of time, so he didn't get any exercise), so Riley was a breath of fresh air! Brinkley did very well with her and came back as a tuckered out, super cuddly pup. Couldn't ask for anything more! I've already confirmed Riley for walks for the rest of the time she's in town.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs big and small since I was 10 years old, as well as pet fish, hamsters, guinea pigs. I’ve always offered to help family friends neighbors take care of there’s as well wether it’s walking, bringing them on rides, feeding, bathing, or just giving lots of love to them while there owners are gone. I’ve also worked at a couple farms before so I have plenty of experience with all sorts of animals and a very big heart for every single one of them. I am working full time locally with Sundays and Mondays free! I have a big vehicle so if they are ok in the car I can bring them to the lake, for a walk on one of the local trails, or just for a ride on a nice day. I love spoiling my own pup so yours are gonna be spoiled just as much! Most dogs I’ve been around have been put in crates weather they were being trained as a puppy or can’t be left out in the house alone so I know how to handle that if needed at any time. I make sure there water bowls are ALWAYS full and when to feed them. I clean up there messes if needed and try to keep things tidy even if they just take everything out again. I give them lots of pets and attention and learn there attitudes and personality as well as I can so I know them better and they can trust me.
“Nicolette is the best! I used her as my regular dog walker during my long work shifts and would highly recommend her. She took great care of my dog, always taking him on great walks. She gives the best Rover report cards with great photos and excellent communication. I’m only in Maine for a short period of time, but will definitely use her again if we are ever back in town.”
“Tonya did a great job of communicating with us , and treated Nala like her own. Book with her for a smooth and easy transition for your pet. We will definitely use her again !”

About: Trustworthy and caring pet sitter dedicated to providing your pets with love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle sessions, I treat your pets like family! I have been petsitting for quite sometime. I have the most experience with dogs, cats and a few other animals. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a good amount of flexibility. I prefer not to do weekends, but open to discussion. I have a back yard for walking around as well as a dog line. We are off a less busy road I can walk with your pets.
About: I grew up on a farm where I was surrounded by large animals like cattle and horses, which gave me a deep appreciation for working with animals from a young age. My passion for animal care led me to become a veterinary technician, where I spent several years working in a large animal hospital. During this time, I gained extensive experience handling various animals, assisting in surgeries, administering medications, and providing routine care. I also have a 8 year-old German Shepherd named Nala. These experiences have strengthened my skills in animal health and care, and I truly enjoy working with animals of all sizes. Currently work part time so I have plenty of time for your pup/animal! I am very flexible and will do my best to accommodate yours and your animals needs Will love on your pet like my own ! It truly is fun to spend time with different animals and if I could have more than 1 dog I would personally!
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, starting at the age of 7. My family currently has three dogs (one small and two medium) that I care for regularly. I am able to walk the three on a lease comfortably and have played a large role in training them. Although I prefer dogs, I grew up with a cat that I loved and cared for. I am able to provide compassion and care to a variety of pet personalities. With years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to find a sitter/ walker you can trust. Whether your pet needs playtime, a dependable routine or just company, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. I am studying for a board exam and working part time. My part time job is flexible, allowing Sat, Sun,Mon, Wed and Fri to have open availability. I am more likely to commit to requests that are received a few days to a week prior. I care for pets in their home by meeting them where they are at; literally and personality wise. With three dogs of my own at home, I am unable to watch your pet outside of their home. In caring for your pet in their environment it helps reduce stress and attempt to maintain any form of routine they have. I am considerate of multiple personalities and consciously make an effort to accommodate the pets needs. With dogs I have watched in the past, I attempt to give them familiarity with their routine, within mine and their comfort. I walk familiar roads/paths, feed them on their schedule (if possible) and attain to any of their needs. I will use any devices/ equipment you typically use and will prioritize safety outside the home (using leases, collars, etc.).
About: I grew up with two cats and have always been surrounded by animals, especially dogs. I have a strong love for pets and understand how I’m important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Throughout college, I have regularly helped care for my friends’ dogs, including providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I am comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and will always treat your pet like they are my own. I am currently a college student on summer break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Right now, I work a part-time job Monday–Wednesday, but I will be fully done working in about a week and will have full availability to provide care, attention, and support for your pets. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and creating a routine, so pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and attention, and I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a big back yard with lots of room to play and an air conditioned house. I’ll follow your pets routine and can be crated if needed!
About: Heyyy! Want to know a little bit about me? I have a 3 year old crazy hound at home! I got her as a puppy and shes been my best friend ever since. We like to be outdoors frequently as shes got a lot of energy. I also have 2 lazy cats that I adore but they don't do too much. I have experience working in 3 different dog daycare facilities. Doing all things like boarding, group play, feeding/medications, and outdoor walks (sometimes in groups as well). For a short period of time while working at the daycare I had fostered a senior dog as well before she successfully got adopted!!! I treat all animals as if they are my own and give them all the love and attention possible. I have some extra free time on my hands and would love to meet your furry friends!!! I am currently working full time on weekdays! I work from home 8am-5pm, but still have the desire to hang with your pups in my free time or on the weekends. My availability does fluctuate frequently so some weeks I may be more available than others. I set prices through the apps suggestions but im ALWAYS willing to negotiate prices i truly love just being and caring for animals when i can! I have a fenced in yard at my house! I have experience with crate training as well! Im comfortable with following any safety rules! My favorite motto is fear and force free!
“My pups LOVE Elliot! Ever since their meet and greet, they can’t wiggle and wag fast enough when she pulls into the driveway! Elliot respects what I allow my pups to do and not to do which is great! Highly recommend!”
About: ☀️Visiting the lakes region for the summer? Enjoy your day on the boat or a nice dinner without worrying about your pet! ☀️ Hi! My name is Ashley, I'm a psychology student at the University of New England in Maine. I am a life long animal lover and I have a passion for dogs! I have extensive experiencing caring for and training my own dog to be a service dog as well as caring for family and friends dogs. I strive to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for every animal I meet. I am comfortable with shy or nervous dogs (non aggressive) who need a little bit more patience and attention. In addition, I understand that every dog's personality is different, so I take the time to understand their personality, to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. No matter the pet, I treat each of them like my own. I am very flexible depending on you and your dog's needs. I ensure that every visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure your pet gets my full attention. ***Please note, I am unable to accommodate pets in my home, drive pets, or care for pets overnight When your pup is with me, it’s all tail wags, wiggle butts, and adventures, but safety always comes first. That way you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and quirks. Communication is key, I’ll keep you updated with pup report cards and lot's of photos. All I ask of you is that if your pet requires a specific routine to please put it in writing so I can follow it correctly!

“Rebecca was amazing! We had so many issues with our transportation and ended up having to drop-off and pick-up and different times. She was so understanding and flexible. Our dog Pepper can be very stressed and particular when we are apart, but she had such a great time with Rebecca! Would 100% book again next time we are in Maine!”
“We, and maybe more importantly our dog, adore Cindy. Our dog now happily gets out of the car to greet Cindy and adjusted quickly to being there. She has been flexible with our timing as we had a last minute change in timing. We got pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Audrey was so good with our pup, Luna! She came back to us so happy and well cared for. She made a very last minute stressful change so much better! Thank you for opening your home to our girl!”
About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years, for both my own pets and others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer drop-ins to provide potty breaks, mid-day walks, house sitting for your cats, dog boarding in my home, and doggy daycare services. I work from home for the majority of the week, so my home offers constant companionship for those needing some support during the day or while their people are away. A few things that set my care apart: - Experience with crate training/trained dogs. I can offer support in that field if it is something you are working on with your dog. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs, as well as older dogs who may prefer a quieter environment. My home office space provides a calm space to spend the day with me individually. - Competitive rates and flexible scheduling. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed as long as instructions are provided. Your pet will always feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care. My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience and space to accommodate that. I do require that for overnight bookings, if your dog is crate trained, that you bring their crate with them. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I will not wander around the home; it is strictly in to fill water and food, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private and personal, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for your pets and your home.
“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“Our dog, Maggie was happy with Abigail and Neil. They sent a few photos. She has a lot of energy and I'm sure she kept their dog, Molly busy. I appreciate them allowing Maggie to roam free in their home and on furniture.”
“Christina took great care of our dog! She provided fantastic photos and updates so we felt at ease. It’s clear how much she loves animals; highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”
“We were lucky enough to find Heidi for our two dogs while we were in Portland for a weekend wedding. From the beginning Heidi was responsive and easy to book. She went above and beyond for our dogs during their stay with her. We were very nervous for one of our dogs who has developed new stranger reactivity and from the get go Heidi was calm, patient and kind, within 3 minutes they were best friends. She was also excellent with our other dog who is recovering from an injury. Needless to say we had an excellent experience and were able to truly enjoy our weekend knowing our pups were in good hands with Heidi.”
“A very clean and comfortable environment for my 2 boys to stay while we were away. Good communicator while we were away. Also took on my wild 9mo old golden, who was able to get some energy out in the spacious back yard!”
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“Kimberly did an amazing job boarding Fenway for 6 days! She took such great care of him and gave me awesome updates throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Fenway was clearly well loved and comfortable with her. I would definitely book with her again!”
“As always, we hope and pray Anne is available because Stout always comes home happy and healthy and exhausted from his stay. Maggie and Lulu are the perfect fit for my old man. When he’s at her house he gets so much play out. She cares for wonderful dogs who welcome Stout to the pack Everytime I drop him off. You can tell they are all happy and cared for. We book everytime we travel. Thanks Anne!”
“Lacey was a fantastic sitter. She was very flexible with letting us pick up Ursy for day trips. Ursy was very happy to have playtime with Lacey’s other dogs, and he *almost* didn’t even miss us! 😀”
“Martha did a great job of looking after my cat Osiris while I was away for the holidays. She sent daily pictures as requested for my peace of mind, reached out promptly when there were any issues, and was very understanding and accommodating when my planned pickup time got a bit wobbly due to travel issues. Will definitely be booking again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Stacy was awesome! We felt very comfortable leaving our Harry with her. She stayed connected with us through multiple pictures and comments throughout each day of his stay. Her photos reassured us that Harry was happy and safe. Stacy cared for him as if he were her own. We would definitely use Stacy’s services again and would highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy!”
“Christina was excellent from start to finish! I really appreciated the care she took during the meet and greet she beat me to suggesting; our awkward teenage pup has not been around many dogs and I was concerned about how he’d do boarding with other dogs. Christina clearly knows how to manage dogs to keep them comfortable and everyone safe; she introduced her dogs thoughtfully and had a great set up for separation as needed. She was punctual for drop off and pick up, sent pictures, kept him clean (no easy feat!), and communication was excellent. When we were planning this trip I was concerned our poor Ramen would be stressed and miserable but after finding Christina and seeing how much fun he was having, I was more concerned he wouldn’t want to come home!”
