About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
“Christina took care of our dog for 10 days while we went on vacation. This was our first time using her and she made sure our dog was happy and comfortable! She responds to messages in a timely manner, was very reliable, and sent several updates with wonderful pictures of our pup playing! Our dog came back happy and with a fresh bath! I will definitely book with her again and have already recommended her to my family and friends. Thank you for making our vacation relaxing as we didn’t have to worry about our beloved pup and knew she was in great hands!”


“Kathleen took great care of our Ellie. She seemed really happy with all the snuggles and adventures they went on while she was under Kathleen’s care. Definitely recomment if you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter.”


“Natalie took great care of our 15 week old Berner puppy!! She had an upset tummy and Natalie was very communicative and offered to feed our pup chicken and rice — we were so relieved to have her and definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”

“Lizzie and Brad are wonderful!! We didn’t have any worries leaving our new puppy with them. They are dog lovers and great people who take fabulous care of our furry friends. It gave me such a peace of mind leaving Ruby with them while I took care of my elderly mom. Huge thanks 🙏”

“Sarah was very responsive as we set up our meet and greet so she could get to know Mia. She has a great home and yard for hosting pups, and her little dog, Sweetie, was very excited to meet our Mia. We especially appreciated that Sarah was accommodating of our older dog's needs, especially with climbing stairs. Mia seemed happy and settled in well with Sarah's family. We would happily leave Mia in Sarah's care again.”

“Molly took our dog and guinea pig for ten days while we were out of town. It was the first time we have ever left our pets with a "stranger". Molly instantly put us at ease when we met her and our dog and hers quickly bonded. What's more is that our pup seemed to be looking for her playmates when she got home, almost sad to have left them behind! Thank you so much Molly for caring for our babies while we were gone - we will definitely be coming back to you in the future. :)”

“Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!
“This is my first experience with Rover, I was very nervous leaving my boy with anyone new. Breanna kept in constant contact and provided pictures. I can tell just by them that Maverick had the best sleep over with her! He even met a new lady friend! I cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be requesting her services again!”

“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”
About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.
“Chelsea and her family took such sweet care of our puppy, Sunday. It was the first time we’d left him for as long as we did, and our meet and greet put us completely at ease that he would be loved on well. She sent pictures and videos while we were gone that were much appreciated! Would highly recommend booking with Chelsea!”

We’re really grateful to have someone like her in the area and would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you Kadie!!!”

Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors.

About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.

“Lindsay was fabulous. And our 2 pups really enjoyed their stay - including a dip in the baby pool that they loved. We were especially pleased to find she had moved and was only 6 minutes from where we stayed. Apparently Rover won’t let her change her address! She is now in Whitefield ME”

“Marissa watched our dogs when we went skiing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them with her! They had a great time at her house and she sent us pictures of their day. She was incredibly nice and we will definitely reach out again!!”

“This was our first experience with doggie daycare and we couldn't have been more pleased. Christina kept us very well informed throughout the day. I would recommend her highly.”

“I felt that Alex took care of our puppy like it was her own. He was tuckered out at the end of the day and got to meet other farm animals, which was great! It’s a great opportunity for us to socialize our puppy, in a safe environment. Definitely will continue bringing our pup to Alex!”

“As usual- Liseli was wonderful!! We received wonderful pictures and reports. It was great being able to enjoy a day with family and know that Elvis was getting some special loving of his own!”

“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.”

“I found Tyler to be a very responsible dog owner who truly enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes. He is very compassionate, patient and understanding when it comes to ensuring your dog has a safe and fun filled day. Tyler and his dog Clarence treated my Great Dane puppy just like family. My puppy absolutely adores both of them tremendously!! I would highly recommend Tyler for your dog sitting needs. He goes above and beyond!”

About: I have experience with puppies, training, dogs with anxiety, geriatric dogs and more. I also have experience with complex health needs and care in dogs. I work from home as a travel agent. I realized one of the biggest concerns for travelers was their dogs and the thought of having to use kennel services.

While we don’t have fencing, we do have a large private yard on a private dirt road. We live on 5 acres.

About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have been working with animals all my life from a very young age and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. There were always pets in the home, mostly dogs and cats all my life and I have thorough experience being around animals and knowing how to take care of them. I took a major part in taking care of the puppies that my family bred most of my childhood, I have experience in working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, roosters/chickens, horses, guinea pigs, etc. Besides working with my own pets I have been pet sitting for around 4 years now and have become very comfortable working with other peoples pets. I pride myself on my attention to detail and focus on making sure your pet/pets are as comfortable as possible. I am currently a student but most of my classes are online so I am very flexible and available pretty much every day of the week currently. I am able to be intuitive and approach every animal with the care and attention that is specific to their needs. I am sensitive to boundaries and always making sure to focus on listening to what they are communicating.

About: With over 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s second best friend while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide, my strong communication with pet parents, and my flexibility to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and energy levels. I work full-time as a pet sitter, so your pet’s well-being and routine are my top priority. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, large breed dogs, and high-energy pups that need extra playtime. I also offer overnight stays with discounted rates for multiple pets, and I’m happy to discuss custom bundles based on your needs—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates consistently, and treats your pets like family—I’d love to help. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—I’m a full-time sitter, so my schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I also block off time for overnight stays and am available on weekends and holidays with advance notice. Since this is my primary focus, I’m flexible and responsive, making it easy to accommodate custom routines or last-minute bookings when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping in for visits, I treat every space with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow all feeding, potty, and medication instructions closely, and always double-check doors, gates, and locks. I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort level and body language, especially when it comes to shy or energetic pets, and I adjust my approach to match what they need—whether it’s quiet company, active play, or just a little extra patience. For overnight stays, I create a peaceful and familiar atmosphere by keeping to your pet’s bedtime routine, favorite toys, and walking routes. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and horses. Growing up around animals has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also experienced in administering medications and can confidently follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially during evenings and weekends when I’m most available. I make it a priority to be there for pets when their owners are busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand after a long day. I’m consistently available for evening drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship before settling in for the night. On weekends, I have even more flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits, extended care, or last-minute bookings. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I build my schedule around giving them the time, consistency, and care they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and the service requested, whether I’m in my home or yours. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your space while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll receive lots of supervision, love, and attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to relax, consistent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive to details and experienced in administering medications if needed, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon....My dogs name is Lilly. She’s a beautiful female German Shepherd who loves people and other dogs.

About: Professional Groomer, trainer, accepting pets in home for extended stay. Farm, fence, full play room, individualized care, puppies and aged dogs welcome! It’s a dog’s life 🐾 Full availability, 7 days a week - holidays included! Active home with quiet spaces and experienced care. Full care and integration into our daily routine if it works for your pet - we’re up early, and on the go - lots of socialization (or not, if that’s your pups jam!) play, enrichment time and experiences. This is my full-time commitment and passion. My background includes Grooming, Training, Seminar’s in dog behavior, pet CPR and first aid, and running a large boarding and grooming facility. I am Licensed by the State of Maine for boarding 🐾 I utilize a lot of tools to keep everyone happy, healthy, and safe - kennels, gates, double leashes, double fencing, cameras (indoor and out!) and a very specific routine that I have found works for this little home. Please be aware - dogs need to be kennel trained to board here. I DO use them at feed time, and for nap times as needed, to keep all the dogs in my care safe. I ask that you send your dogs meals pre-packed, or in a reasonable (for their stay) container. Please leave “favorites “ that cannot be replaced at home. This includes beds! I provide fresh, daily, clean toys and blankets, plus raised cot beds. Feed time is 2X per day, with 2X per day “stimulation” snacks prior to nap time. I provide all snacks, but need to know if your pup has a special diet. If your dog has separation anxiety, I really need to know. It doesn’t mean I won’t take your dog, but it DOES mean I have to structure things differently for that particular stay, and rates will be discussed. My own dog has SA, so I understand; I just need the information to plan accordingly.
About: I’ve had pet dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve always loved taking care of them, and being someone that they can rely on. Caring for animals is a big part of my life and something I hope to be forever passionate about! I am working full-time for the summer. I am a college student who will be going back to part time in the fall to finish my last year. I’m mostly free in the evenings and on odd days during the week since I work a rotating schedule. The fall will look different as I’ll be working part-time while also going to school! I’ve been handling large dogs since I was a young teenager, so I’m very comfortable with all types of breeds. I’d consider myself very gentle when it comes to animal care.
About: We each have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. We truly love animals and enjoy giving them dependable, loving care while your away! We both have flexible schedules, so pet care fits easily into our daily routine. We’re home most of the day, which allows us to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention.

We follow all instructions, keep a secure environment, and make sure pets are always supervised, especially on walks or outdoors.

I am available most weekends with advanced knowledge I currently have 1 jack Russell mix who enjoys napping and using other dogs as pillows. I have a small fenced in area but also go on frequent walks.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and am keen to understanding their needs, behaviors and views. Personally, I enjoy building relationships with my own dogs based on trust, training and adventure. I understand that all dogs have different upbringings and different needs.

I am a very active person with a flexible schedule. Keeping pets exercised and mentally stimulated is always enjoyable. I have an SUV which can fit multiple dogs. I am able to visit homes multiple times a day, and I am also available to house sit for extended periods of time.

About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
“Christina took care of our dog for 10 days while we went on vacation. This was our first time using her and she made sure our dog was happy and comfortable! She responds to messages in a timely manner, was very reliable, and sent several updates with wonderful pictures of our pup playing! Our dog came back happy and with a fresh bath! I will definitely book with her again and have already recommended her to my family and friends. Thank you for making our vacation relaxing as we didn’t have to worry about our beloved pup and knew she was in great hands!”


“Natalie took great care of our 15 week old Berner puppy!! She had an upset tummy and Natalie was very communicative and offered to feed our pup chicken and rice — we were so relieved to have her and definitely recommend her to care for your pets!”

“Lizzie and Brad are wonderful!! We didn’t have any worries leaving our new puppy with them. They are dog lovers and great people who take fabulous care of our furry friends. It gave me such a peace of mind leaving Ruby with them while I took care of my elderly mom. Huge thanks 🙏”

“Sarah was very responsive as we set up our meet and greet so she could get to know Mia. She has a great home and yard for hosting pups, and her little dog, Sweetie, was very excited to meet our Mia. We especially appreciated that Sarah was accommodating of our older dog's needs, especially with climbing stairs. Mia seemed happy and settled in well with Sarah's family. We would happily leave Mia in Sarah's care again.”

“Molly took our dog and guinea pig for ten days while we were out of town. It was the first time we have ever left our pets with a "stranger". Molly instantly put us at ease when we met her and our dog and hers quickly bonded. What's more is that our pup seemed to be looking for her playmates when she got home, almost sad to have left them behind! Thank you so much Molly for caring for our babies while we were gone - we will definitely be coming back to you in the future. :)”

“Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!
“This is my first experience with Rover, I was very nervous leaving my boy with anyone new. Breanna kept in constant contact and provided pictures. I can tell just by them that Maverick had the best sleep over with her! He even met a new lady friend! I cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be requesting her services again!”

“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”
About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.
“Chelsea and her family took such sweet care of our puppy, Sunday. It was the first time we’d left him for as long as we did, and our meet and greet put us completely at ease that he would be loved on well. She sent pictures and videos while we were gone that were much appreciated! Would highly recommend booking with Chelsea!”


“I was a bit uneasy at first to use a dog sitting app. 5 minutes on the phone with Matt and I was relieved. We met up a couple days before dropping Brandi off for her first time boarding and Brandi and Matt instantly hit it off and I couldn’t have been happier. Much better than taking a dog to a kennel and one very happy puppy.”

About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a teenager! I am comfortable with Reactive, Aggressive and Nervous dogs. I have Three of my own nervous/reactive dogs!
