“Jessica and her family quickly became like a second family to us. They were kind, compassionate and great communicators with multiple updates and photos a day. Our dog Max had THE BEST TIME!”
“Paige was great with Mazzy! This is the longest we've ever had to be away from our dog Mazzy, and things went great!! Lots of pictures lots of walks lots of love 🙏🏽💜 Would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“Nancy was awesome! My dog Maisie was loved and cared for as if she was part of the family. I received frequent updates and pics too! Maisie had a wonderful time. I would recommend Nancy and will certainly contact her next time I need dog care.”
“This was our first time leaving our "floof" at a babysitter. Joey was absolutely 💯 amazing!!! I received many videos and pictures as well as updates throughout the time. I would give him 10 🌟 if I could!”
“Amber was an incredible dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog Daisy, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and it was clear Daisy was getting spoiled with plenty of walks, love, treats and attention. Amber truly went above and beyond we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I highly recommend trusting Amber with your pup!”
“Thank you Danielle!! Spice and Coco have indicated that they had a great time. We are so thankful to have found you! It made our trip so much easier to go worry free. The girls seemed very relaxed and every picture you sent over our trip, showed how happy they were. Your attitude during the entire stay they had, was over the top. When our return flight was canceled, and it added an extra day to our trip, you again made us feel at ease. Can't thank you enough, and would use you again on our return next summer. Pat, Sue, Spice and Coco.”
About: I have two labs, one is six years old and the second is six months old. People have trusted me to take care of their dogs for years and I love being around animals. I currently work full-time from home and I’m outside with my dogs every day playing! pet care is a necessity for me as my world revolves around my girls. I have two labs that are very friendly and playful, I also have the ability to crate dogs as well. I used to work in clients homes so I have a vast understanding of the necessity to keep your home safe and well cared for. I also understand the vulnerability that your pet may feel if you are gone at work or for a period of time.
“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”
“We couldn’t have been happier boarding with Charlotte while we were visiting Acadia! She’s a lovely person and gave our lab, Mabel, exactly the home away from home experience we hoped for (and arguably even more fun!) We didn’t have a moment’s worry knowing that Mabel was in the best of hands. We will definitely be back!”
About: As a pet lover for my entire life, I am very open to who I will take in. I have taken care of my family’s dogs and cats. As well as friends’ pets as well. Not just our small pets. I worked on my family farm in the middle of Maine near Dover-Foxcroft. That included Horses, chickens, occasionally some cows and donkeys. I would love to take care of your pets for whenever you need me to. Just give me any details about them. Medical, whether they are in heat, spayed or neutered. I will be sure to accommodate accordingly. You can contact me via email, call, or text. For those who need service at their home, I would gladly organize that with you as well. Small, medium and large pets are all welcomed. As for cancellations and early pickups, I will do my best to be as flexible as I can. As this is for the pet, not the money. ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and I’m a mom of a little boy. I have pets of my own that I take care of on a daily basis. I have integrated my son into my pets lives and they’re all best friends. Being with animals has always been a major part of my life! Currently not offering in home services, or house sitting services. However, when checking in or walking pups I do make sure water bowl is filled if I notice it’s low and I make sure to bring a pop up water bowl on long walks in the summer.
“Our Loki has been scared to death to stay at other boarders—even the trainer he had, but Jennifer made him feel comfortable and secure while he was there. He snuggled up to her immediately and was loved like he was hers. We will definitely count on her next time we need to board our little guy!”
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.
“My Australian Shepherd, Remi, had a great time with Melissa. I know Remi was well cared for and incorporated into their family activities including walks and hikes. I know Remi will be excited to return for another visit.”
About: I have had experience with pets since I was I child, my family and I love all kind of pets , I am from Costa Rica so I always had a pet in my house and around from friends and family.

About: I have over 20 years experience with cats, in the grooming & boarding environment; safe handling, signs of stress, safe transport, medicating, and all around care, from having them as pets in the past. The cat pictured is NOT MINE, it is my mechanics cat whom I got to hang out & play with, while my brakes were getting fixed!!
“McKenna was a GREAT pet sitter. She was on time and did all the tasks asked and even filled the bird feeders. Best of all, Stormy was excited to see her each day for food and pets. Her photos were so appreciated and so well done. I really appreciated her daily updates.”
“Taylor was great! She is very responsive, organized , and respectful of our home. She played with our little tabby and even cuddled him :) ! We will definitely book with her again.!!”
“Brandon was great to work with and took good care of our cat. Our house was also in good shape and as we left it. . Quixo was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I would hire Brandon again and recommend him to others .”
“Emma was a very conscientious and caring choice for our cat. She monitored him during her visits and alerted us to a possible health issue. We were able to schedule a vet appointment soon after we returned. We appreciated the communication that she provided.”
“Justin and Eva were great. They showed up on time, cleaned up more than we were expecting and gave us plenty of updates on our cats. Our shy cat even started staying in the same room while they were there which is huge. I highly recommend them.”
“Lily handled my cats easily and smoothly, no mean feat as my two cats are still negotiating their relationship and getting accustomed to one another. So I worried about leaving them with a sitterc but Lily handled them like a pro!”
About: I provide calm, patient, and detail oriented care tailored specifically to cats and their unique personalities. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, so I take a gentle, respectful approach allowing each cat to set the pace for interaction while ensuring all of their daily needs are met. I’m experienced caring for cats of all temperaments, from social and affectionate to shy, independent, or easily stressed. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and litter box habits, which can be early signs of stress or discomfort. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed, following feeding schedules, providing enrichment and playtime, brushing, and maintaining very clean litter boxes (yes—deep cleaning included). I take pride in keeping your cat’s space tidy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable and highly communicative, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is safe, relaxed, and well cared for at home.
About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm from Northern California and moved to Maine last year. Growing up we always had dogs (and sometimes cats), so I learned to take care of pets from a young age. I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet-sitting and dog-walking. Currently I have one pup - Bodhi, a 2.5 year old black lab. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies! I'm currently only working through Rover, so my schedule is very flexible right now! I'm available for drop-ins, all-day stays and overnights, as well as for long-term pet-sitting in your home. I love making every animal feel cared for - from playing with them, going on long walks outside, providing pets and cuddles, giving them occasional treats, etc. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also love to send little text and video updates, so you can check in on them while you're away. I've even done FaceTimes with pets and their owners!
“Zanae was amazing! She took our dog for 2 long walks and made sure he got plenty of love and attention (and treats). Highly recommend her to anyone traveling and needing dog care.”
“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: As an avid cat lover, I've had my own cats for well over 10 years. I started working at an animal shelter in 2021 and worked primarily with cats. With that experience, I became very comfortable with taking care of cats, including medicating, feeding and interacting with. I have now worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 3 years.

“My dog had a great time with Lincey and her family and I received updates throughout the day confirming that she was safe and having fun. I was visiting the area for a few days and Lincey’s willingness to accept a last-minute booking made it possible for me to go kayaking secure in the knowledge that my fur-baby was well cared for and having a grand adventure of her own. Thanks Lincey!”

I recently lost my dog of six years so it’s been quite lonely around the house without him! I work from home so I can keep an eye on your dog throughout the day and utilize my break time to take them outside. I have a detached fenced in yard, so they’ll get plenty of exercise. I have room for a crate if that is needed as well.

“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!”
“Such a wonderful caregiving family experience! Luna was so very well cared for and adored the attention from both the humans along with their fellow K-9 friends. Truly grateful!”
About: Hi! I’m Nieves, and I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds and focus on providing loving, reliable, and attentive care. I work as a team with my roommate, Joseph Saccente, who is also an active Rover sitter. We coordinate schedules so your pet always has supervision and care. We’re generally available daily, except when fully booked or on a planned day off. Pets are welcome in our home and can relax on the couch, bed, or their own space—your choice. We have a large yard and two acres of unfenced land for supervised outdoor time. I’m happy to help with medications, vet visits, and special needs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine.

About: What truly sets me apart is that dog care isn’t just a service I offer, it’s a central part of my everyday life! I’ve raised dogs from day one, all the way through their golden years. I am incredibly comfortable with all life stages. Having owned and loved dogs my entire life, I have a deep, intuitive understanding of canine behavior, and what it takes to keep a pup feeling secure when their owner is away or when they are in a new environment. I am currently a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, meaning my home is already a fully equipped, dog friendly environment, where your pet can seamlessly blend into my safe and comfortable daily routine.

During my pop in visits, I handle all the essentials, including walking, feeding, refreshing water bowls, and managing potty breaks.

“Jen was a great dog-sitter! Our dog was excited to explore her home, which seemed very dog-friendly, and there was a great long road to take walks on. Jen sent us updates, pictures, and was overall an easy-going and conscientious person! She asked us how we wanted our dog to be treated, what rules we have at home, what he can and can't play with, etc. She seemed to be really confident around dogs, and our dog liked her immediately.”

About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm from Northern California and moved to Maine last year. Growing up we always had dogs (and sometimes cats), so I learned to take care of pets from a young age. I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet-sitting and dog-walking. Currently I have one pup - Bodhi, a 2.5 year old black lab. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies! I'm currently only working through Rover, so my schedule is very flexible right now! I'm available for drop-ins, all-day stays and overnights, as well as for long-term pet-sitting in your home. I love making every animal feel cared for - from playing with them, going on long walks outside, providing pets and cuddles, giving them occasional treats, etc. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also love to send little text and video updates, so you can check in on them while you're away. I've even done FaceTimes with pets and their owners!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats rabbits and horses ever since I was 10. I’ve cared for new born kittens as well as senior cats at the Humane Society for almost 10 years. And cared for my neighbors’ dogs. From volunteering I’ve learn much about behaviors for both dogs and cats and have discovered I have a talent for working with them. I decided at retiring that I would like to begin in home pet sitting earning a living. I also manage an Airbnb with pets and have had great experiences with both dogs and and cats. I’m available all times but desire at least a week in advance notice. Daily weekly and hourly with breaks when needed for managing my Airbnb. Usually to clean after check out. Also per your needs I will need to have a brief break in the day to drive home to make sure my cats are fed and happy with some play time if I am asked to do overnights. I have 4 cats now. They get fed on special foods on a schedule. When they are eating I clean their cat boxes and when they are finished, I clean their bowls. Before they begin their daily naps , I play with each of them. They range in age from 19 to 1 yr. I also check their water bowls throughout the day or night depending. I can give them treats anytime. I also have learned various medical skills and hope to go back to school for a third degree as a vet tech and if life allows veterinary practice.
About: I used to work in a Kennel and worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have worked with mean dogs and lovely dogs. I have worked with senior dogs as well. Growing up I have always had animals in my house and I always plan to. I work at a senior care facility in 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts. Seeing as I do work long shifts, my mother is able to run over and let dogs out during the day. I help a friend out at Dirigo Pines every so often, usually for 6 hours, but can take breaks. Other than that I just sit at the house I'm at amd relax. I dont get out of work late, usually six and feed dinner when I get home. I dont have any pets at the moment, but always have throughout my life. I have had a deaf cat, senior dogs and small animals. I can give medication if needed. I also try to take wals if the weather is nice.

I am a teacher, so come summer time I will have a large amount of availability to walk or pet sit!

About: Hello, my name is Libby! I have had pets my whole life and currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I also grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of different animals. I truly have a passion for working with animals, which is why I’m pursuing a degree in wildlife biology. For work, I recently got done working at an animal sanctuary where we cared for 500+ animals. I am looking for something more flexible for when I’m in school. Because I’ve worked at many different places I have lots of special training including senior care, administering medication, animals with special needs, pet CPR, pet training, and much more! If you have any question about me or any of my certification/ experience with animals feel free to reach out! I recently just got done my full time job so my only commitment is school. I do online schooling so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available 7 days a week usually, and am almost always available for overnight care or boarding I have 2 dogs and a cat if my own so if I am boarding your animal they will have to get along with others. All of my animals are very friendly and well trained. I can provide almost any service at my house or am willing to stay at your home. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
About: I grew up with dogs in the family and with friends with furry friends as well! I’ve always been surrounded by them :) My friend had a Dalmatian puppy while we were in college so I helped out a bunch with their pet needs such as walking, feeding, playing etc. My work schedule right now is pretty clear so most of my whole week is very free to help take care of your pet needs when you need an extra hand! My environment is very pet friendly with multiple parks nearby to play with your furry friend and for them to use the bathroom when needed as well! I can’t wait to help out with your furry friend!
“Jazlynne was our saving grace! When our care fell through, Jazlynne excitedly agreed to help care for our dog while we got some photos taken in Acadia. Her communication was 10/10, she was friendly, punctual, and incredibly helpful! I would absolutely recommend her.”
About: I've been taking care of cats as long as I can remember. I don't currently have a dog but I frequently take care of my aunt's Great Pyrenees and I've taken care of many other dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I'm free any day of the week for sitting. I would be happy to take care of any kind of dog or cat. I usually consult the owner and try to stick to the pets regular schedule as close as possible. I usually visit dogs three or four times a day and do one or two walks and for cats I visit once or twice a day or as many times as the owner would like.
About: I have been around animals all my life, ranging from animals like horses to birds. I have cared for elderly/injured animals before, who have needed supports walking/using the restroom/feeding. Through family and friends I’ve watched over many pets! I currently nanny for a family, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule especially during the school year!I have free hours throughout the day ,everyday! I can handle special requests for animals, private areas for walking/playing. I’d treat each animal like my own, respecting certain boundaries that there may be.
About: Belmont, Maine | Experienced Pet Sitter | Farm Animal Friendly | Reiki-Calming Pet Sessions Hi, I’m Geoffery—a lifelong animal caregiver with 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals alike. I grew up on a farm and have spent my life surrounded by animals of all kinds, offering everything from basic pet sitting and walks to drop-in visits, long-term fostering, and livestock care.

“Jessica and her family quickly became like a second family to us. They were kind, compassionate and great communicators with multiple updates and photos a day. Our dog Max had THE BEST TIME!”
“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!”
“Nancy was awesome! My dog Maisie was loved and cared for as if she was part of the family. I received frequent updates and pics too! Maisie had a wonderful time. I would recommend Nancy and will certainly contact her next time I need dog care.”
“This was our first time leaving our "floof" at a babysitter. Joey was absolutely 💯 amazing!!! I received many videos and pictures as well as updates throughout the time. I would give him 10 🌟 if I could!”
“Amber was an incredible dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog Daisy, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and it was clear Daisy was getting spoiled with plenty of walks, love, treats and attention. Amber truly went above and beyond we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I highly recommend trusting Amber with your pup!”
“Thank you Danielle!! Spice and Coco have indicated that they had a great time. We are so thankful to have found you! It made our trip so much easier to go worry free. The girls seemed very relaxed and every picture you sent over our trip, showed how happy they were. Your attitude during the entire stay they had, was over the top. When our return flight was canceled, and it added an extra day to our trip, you again made us feel at ease. Can't thank you enough, and would use you again on our return next summer. Pat, Sue, Spice and Coco.”
About: I have two labs, one is six years old and the second is six months old. People have trusted me to take care of their dogs for years and I love being around animals. I currently work full-time from home and I’m outside with my dogs every day playing! pet care is a necessity for me as my world revolves around my girls. I have two labs that are very friendly and playful, I also have the ability to crate dogs as well. I used to work in clients homes so I have a vast understanding of the necessity to keep your home safe and well cared for. I also understand the vulnerability that your pet may feel if you are gone at work or for a period of time.
“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”
“We couldn’t have been happier boarding with Charlotte while we were visiting Acadia! She’s a lovely person and gave our lab, Mabel, exactly the home away from home experience we hoped for (and arguably even more fun!) We didn’t have a moment’s worry knowing that Mabel was in the best of hands. We will definitely be back!”
“Our Loki has been scared to death to stay at other boarders—even the trainer he had, but Jennifer made him feel comfortable and secure while he was there. He snuggled up to her immediately and was loved like he was hers. We will definitely count on her next time we need to board our little guy!”
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.
“My Australian Shepherd, Remi, had a great time with Melissa. I know Remi was well cared for and incorporated into their family activities including walks and hikes. I know Remi will be excited to return for another visit.”

“Erika was so wonderful! She was available last minute and got me out of a pinch! She was so loving to my fur baby and sent me daily updates with a picture that made me feel so much better than leaving her with a typical kennel. I will most definitely recommend her to anyone and will use her again in the future!”
“Amazing sitter, kept us updated the entire time and sent photos with every update. Alanna made sure our little girl was well taken care of and comfortable. Will definitely return for any future trips. ☺️♥️”
“Valerie and her family were so wonderful. We were so bummed to leave our pup for his first Christmas but she made it special for him and welcomed him as part of the family in their gorgeous home. We got regular updates and check ins. He loved romping in the snow with his new best friend, their family yellow lab. We highly recommend Valerie and will be using her again!”
