“Trisha and her husband were outstanding! They kept us in the loop at all times, and sent frequent photos to show us what our golden retriever was up to. Their dog Stout was a great companion for our golden as well. I highly recommend them as dog sitters!”
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Khaila took great care of our pup, Chuck! She sent us a little picture or video everyday which gave us a lot of peace of mind. 100% recommend and we will be working with her again!”
“Heidi has great knowledge, experience and exceptional talent. Bar none. I felt completely secure putting my dog in her care. I appreciated the videos and messages and am still stunned to realize how above and beyond Heidi went for us.”
“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.”
“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”
“Reina always enjoy her visits with Carmen and her family . Carmen sends multiple updates / pics throughout the visit . She is also very accommodating if my schedule happens to change and she treats my fur baby and I like family . Reina feels right and home as soon as she steps in the door .”
“My dog, Poe, and I had an excellent experience with Vanessa. I had read her reviews and she sounded like a perfect fit: responsible, professional, caring and a good communicator. And she was! Plus, her dog Pepper was an adorable, easygoing pal for Poe during his week stay at her home. I’m relieved to have found her. It will make trips for us so much easier :)”
“John is amazing. Our little Arlo is afraid of everyone (except John) He almost didn’t want to come home with us. He took such good care of him. He will always be my go-to. One thing, your pup may be lackluster the next day from the exercise he got and missing John.”
“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😘”
“Ziggy was well cared for and came back happy after another great stay with Kyle and Kaleigh. There were highly responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times, etc. highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
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.
About: I grew up dogs from the time I was little- labs, retrievers, shepherds- and had a special needs rescue dog with my partner for many years who lived to be fifteen. When she passed, my partner and I started boarding and house sitting regularly and have built up a pretty cute little pack. I am comfortable giving oral medication and upholding your dog’s schedule, house rules, and love to take field trips whenever possible. My favorite is when a dog can come with me everywhere, so smaller senior pups have become my specialty, but I can’t help but love all the dogs who come along. As a videographer and Maine youth basketball coach I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule and spend a lot of time working from home editing videos. I’m fairly active, always happy to take breaks from work to walk around the neighborhood or find a pet-friendly beach to run around on. I’m in an apartment very close to Deering Oaks Park and the Western Prom. The apartment is a compact second story walk up and has been carefully maintained to keep it safe for curious noses.
“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.”
“Exceptional care and communication! Levi had a great experience and was well cared for. She was very happy with the care and the toys she had to play with. I highly recommend!”
“This was our first time with Jean. We did a day visit. She was very good about showing me around where my dog would be and taking time for both of us to get to know each other. She has good space for dogs inside and out. She has a good sense of dogs and I felt comfortable leaving mine in her care. She sent a photo update during the day which I appreciated. When I picked up my dog he was happy and slept well when we got home. I do recommend Jean and will definitely use her again.”
“Joshua is great. He and his wife were able to accommodate my 9 week old puppy last minute to watch him in their home during the week. They sent pictures and kept me updated! Will for sure use him again and will recommend for anyone needing someone to watch their pup.”
“Emily and Kieran took a very good care of our dog! They were very accomodating even on the last minute notice, and were very flexible on the timing, which we really appreciate :) They took Ohsam out for a walk several times, gave lots of loves and cuddles. I can see Ohsam had a great time with the family! Would recommend them during our next visit in Portland. Thank you!!”
“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.”
“Rebeca was very engaged with Thorin and was flexible with scheduling to accommodate our plans for the day. We could tell that Thorin had a good time because he was all tuckered out when we picked him up. We would definitely ask Rebecca to sit for Thorin again.”
“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.”
“i would definitely book simon again! he was lovely and very accommodating. he gave a thorough report when i picked up my pet who came home calm and taken care of. i was also impressed by his own lovely, and nicely trained dog. that says a lot!”

“Abigail is so wonderful! She checked in on my precious Bubba and sent me adorable pics of him enjoying their walk through the neighborhood. I work long shifts and her updates helped set my mind at ease. Would absolutely book again, 10/10!”
“Kiley is amazing! We needed someone to fill in last minute to walk our pup while we were away, and she was so quick to get back to us. She's just wonderful with our dog, will definitely call her again the next time.”
“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 !”
“Faith did a great job walking our two dogs! She was very kind and attentive to their needs during the initial meet and greet and my dogs had a great time on their walk. I feel very comfortable having Faith care for my pets!”
About: I am an animal lover who specializes in house sitting, pet enrichment, compassionate care, walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. Very experienced with senior dogs and high needs situations. I am extremely communicative and love sharing photos of your furry friends. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. You’ll see through my over 50 5 star reviews that I truly do care. This is not just a gig for me, this is a path I’ve chosen. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. It’s been a busy year and I’ve grown a beautiful clientele on Rover. I try to be as flexible as possible, my availability is always up to date but never hesitate to reach out and see if we can arrange something, I am always willing to flexible with my rates as well. I truly enjoy house sitting, leaving your place better than you found it and making your life as a pet owner simpler, with trust. Because I do not book multiple animals at once, my calendar is filling up fast. My best advice for booking is to plan far ahead and if you’re a new client, please allow time for meet and greets. My family and I have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled/elderly person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into (though I reserve field trips for more well acquainted clients), and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.
“Ashley is so caring and thoughtful! She wants me and my dog to be comfortable, and really understands animals and thier needs. I feel very safe having my dog be taken care of by her! Thank you Ashley!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. A few of our dogs even had puppies. One litter started to be born on my bed. When I was in my early 20's I used to pet sit for my co-workers for extra cash. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I will take care and love your pets as if they were my own because that is how I would like my pets to be taken care of when I am away. I currently work days but I will be delighted to stop in to check on and or walk your pets in the afternoons and evenings. Whatever your request is I am sure I can handle it. If you need cat boxes to be scooped. Or dog poop to be cleaned up while you are away, I will do it no problem. I have no problem giving your pet cuddles while you are away!

About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up caring for both dogs and cats and currently have dogs of my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll do my best to follow their routine and give them the care they deserve. I have experience caring for large dogs, reactive dogs, senior pets, and cats with different personalities and needs. I am also comfortable giving oral medications and injections/shots when needed, following your pet’s care instructions carefully. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Brooke Mathews, you’re pets new best friend :) My schedule is very flexible. I recently graduated high school and will be attending college locally at SMCC, where I will be studying Early Childhood Education. Since I will be commuting, I have availability throughout the week for drop-in visits and walks. Outside of school, I spend most of my time caring for my two German Shepherds, spending time with my two sisters, and enjoying walks by the water. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love being active and spending time outdoors. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and trusted environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk, I take the time to learn their routine, understand their needs, and build trust at their own pace. For dog owners: I am confident handling both large and small dogs, including those who may be reactive or require extra leash awareness. I focus on keeping walks safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s comfort level and personality while maintaining close attention to their surroundings. For cat owners: I offer drop-in visits for a time frame we discuss beforehand and will make sure your cat’s daily needs are met. Whether that includes feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced, dependable animal lover who understands that your pets are family. My goal is to provide exceptional care while giving you complete peace of mind whenever you’re away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets and have worked alongside my sister in her successful pet sitting business, which has proudly served the Greater Portland area for over 15 years. Through that experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, plenty of attention, and lots of belly rubs (if they approve!). Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and careful attention to any special instructions, medications, feeding schedules, or routines. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. To ensure everyone is a great fit, I require a meet-and-greet before all new bookings. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, answer any questions, and help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide the loving care they deserve! I work full-time during the weekdays, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, as well as overnight stays depending on my schedule. I strive to be flexible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I also require a meet-and-greet before new bookings to ensure we’re a great fit and to help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit.
“Andy has been walking my dog fairly regularly for over 6 months now and I can’t recommend him enough. He is always timely in his response and communicates very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a loving and responsible dog walker.”
About: Ive lived with cats and dogs, taking care of my friends and family's pets throughout. I can give medications to your pets no problem if they need. I work full time, I have Mondays and Tuesdays off if you want the most attentive care. I will always make your pets feel safe and cared for no matter the day of the week. I have a cat at home, hes neutered so nothing to worry about there. In house or at yours I will keep your pet children entertained.
About: Need a sitter you can trust? I’m your person. I’m looking to connect with more great pets and their people! I’ve been pet sitting for over 18 years and have had animals of my own since childhood. I genuinely love befriending pets and giving them the consistency, attention, and comfort they deserve while their people are away. I’ve cared for all types of pets and farm animals and am happy to adapt to whatever each one needs. Medications, special diets, anxious pets, specific routines, or a dog who thinks every walk should be an expedition? I’m on it. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m definitely not new to pet sitting. Most of my experience has been through word of mouth and repeat clients who trust me with their animals. I have great reviews, and many of my happiest clients have simply shared my name with others looking for a sitter. I’m also a pediatric Occupational Therapist, so being attentive, responsible, and adaptable is very much part of who I am. I take just as much pride in leaving homes spotless and well cared for as I do in caring for the pets. I’m dependable, communicative, and easygoing. I’ll follow your instructions, keep you updated while you’re away, and make sure your pets get the care and companionship they’re used to. Beach walks, hikes, fetch, couch cuddles—or respectfully sitting across the room while your cat decides whether I’ve earned their trust—I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Reliable care, a cared-for home, and peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I genuinely love being around animals, and it brings me joy to care for them, whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay. I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I believe pets are happiest in their own space, surrounded by familiar smells, routines, and cozy spots. That’s why I prefer caring for pets in their home—whether it’s house sitting or drop-in visits. It keeps things stress-free for them (and you!). Every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know what makes yours feel safe, happy, and cared for—whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, playing their favorite game, or just offering quiet company. Have special requests or unique needs? I’m all ears. Let’s work together to create a care plan that feels just right for your furry friend.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 5 years now. I have had a golden retriever and frequently watched my family’s GSD, maremma, and lab. I love walking and playing with medium-bigger size dogs but love all dogs regardless. I currently am a graduate student working part time so i’m flexible in terms of timing to walk dogs. I typically would prefer completing walks before 9am but we can work out a schedule that suits us. I like to create a safe and loving environment for my pets, they are family after all. Frequent outside and play time are a must with meals on time.

About: Hi! It's nice to meet you (& hopefully your pup too)! I'm Lindsay, an active, responsible, and caring pet-sitter who treats each pet like they're my own. I've had plenty of animals around since I was born & I've dog & cat sat for friends and family a bunch over the past 10+ years, from quick stop-ins for food & water to walks & overnight visits. Nothing brings me more joy than leaving an animal happy and tired from a great day together. I work from home, so I have flexible daytime availability to visit your pet. My work schedule fluctuates depending on what projects I'm working on, but I can always make time for a walk! Your pet's well-being will always be top of mind. I’m currently offering dog walking and check-ins. I would be walking your dog around the neighborhood or to the closest park for some much-needed fresh air! If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, please reach out :)
“Emily was great! She was available super last minute when we needed someone to watch our cat for the day and was great at communicating. She sent regular updates throughout the day and our cat was in a great mood when we picked him up!”
“Joanna took great care of our Golden Retriever during a short weekend get-away. The booking process was extremely easy, communication was great and she sent many pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Would recommend to others!”
“Karen and Steve were excellent sitters for our 13 year old dog, giving her so much love and attention for a few days. Karen was so quick to respond when I reached out (with a very last minute booking request from our family who lives out of town!) and asked great questions about our dog that demonstrated her experience. Their home was easy to find, inviting and drop off and pick up were super smooth. They sent me updates and photos which was fun to see and it was clear that our dog Bella felt like she was at a “home away from home”. Would highly recommend this caring couple and I’m hopeful we’ll be able to drop off our dog again in the future!”
