“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!!!”
“Elisabeth was the absolute best! Lots of pictures and great communication- my doggo had the biggest smile in every picture and video. She was very gracious accommodating my last minute request and my doggo was so happy at pick up. We will definitely be booking again with her!”
“Jake was great! He was friendly, responsible, and made the whole experience easy and stress free. My dog was well cared for, and I felt comfortable leaving him in Jake’s hands. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
“Kymberly and Robert always do such a great job with my Mala. Mala is 15 years old now and has stayed with them many times. She always knows when I pack her travel bag that she will get to vacation with them, and she gets so excited! Ours dogs are family, and it can be hard to leave them, but I never have any concerns whatever when I leave Mala with Kymberly and Robert. They are my trusted sitters!”
“Claudia and Jason were wonderful with Lawson! They kept me updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures and details about their activities. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and they made sure Lawson was comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely recommend them to friends!”
“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”
“Anne is the best! This is our second time booking here and she's so warm and flexible and truly loves dogs. Knowing my boy was in such good hands made my vacation actually relaxing. She sent pics and videos through out. I can't recommend enthusiastically enough.”
“Sridevi took wonderful care of my dog, Sasha. I had to book with her at the last minute because of a funeral and she could not have been more accommodating. Sasha was so content at her house in such a short period of time, I was very impressed. Sasha does not usually warm up to people so quickly, so I knew she was in good hands. 🐾”
“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
“Christina did a great job with Crosby. I trusted that he was well cared for and got lots of love and attention. Normally a very stressed out dog, he seemed very relaxed when I picked him up. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”
“They did a great job taking care of our bulldog. He is a large breed and loves attention, their whole family gave him lots of love. They were flexible with our schedule and easy to work with. Would definitely use them again.”
“Christine is a new favorite dogsitter! I left one of my dogs with her and her canine crew for five days—she came home happy, healthy, and tired after romping around the big fenced yard, dipping in the pool, and snoozing on the couch. Worry-free dogsitting from a true dog lover. Thanks, Christine!”
“Viva is awesome. Timely, communicative and thoughtful with her questions. She made sure all the boxes were checked in terms of my dogs needs and habits. Pictures and updates everyday, which was awesome! She and her partner took the time to bring her on some great adventures too. Totally thankful for a no-stress experience so I could enjoy my vacation!”
“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”

“Wendy did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats. She arrived on time and followed my instructions for feeding them and taking care of their litter box. I really appreciated the photos too. I will definitely ask her to return in the future.”
“Words cannot adequately capture how superb James was. I had so much anxiety leaving my babies to take a vacation, but it’s clear I had nothing to worry about with James. He was kind, caring, and attentive to the intricacies of managing my four pets. I’ve had a lot of people pet sit in the past, including friends and family, but nobody has done it better than James. I cannot recommend him highly enough!”
“Kourtney was an excellent sitter! We had to modify our reservation a couple of times, and she was incredibly flexible with us. She is a wonderful communicator and left thorough updates every day about our cats. She even went above and beyond by shoveling our front walkway after a heavy storm! On top of that, she’s a lovely person and made sure to say hi to us when we saw her at breakfast before our booking! We would absolutely rebook with Kourtney.”
“Isabelle took excellent care of our two Corgi boys while we were on an extended trip of 11 days. We were nervous about leaving them for such a long time, but from the first moments of our meet and great, it was clear that Isabelle was a perfect match for them. The boys connected with her immediately and it was obvious that she is experienced in both drop-in visits and extended care. She is a very thoughtful and capable sitter, who sends regular updates with adorable photos, and we really appreciated her timely replies to our texts. We never worried about our pups while they were in Isabelle's care and when we returned, our boys were relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Isabelle for both drop-in visits and long-term care, and we look forward to bringing her back to care for our boys sometime soon.”
“It was such a pleasure to have Ella as our cat-sitter, especially on such short notice! During the meet & greet, she was very accommodating to our needs and asked questions that showed her attention to details. On the day itself, she was punctual, fed the sometimes finicky kitties without any problems and was also able to administer an insulin shot to one of them. She also took lovely photos of the cats and gave some detailed updates of the time she spent with them. I wouldn't hesitate to have her back again to watch the cats :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life—growing up in a pet-loving home taught me how to care for animals with love and patience. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society, where I gained hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for family, friends, and coworkers, providing everything from walks to overnight care. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I work a sales job Monday–Friday, typically from 8:00 AM to around 4:30 PM, and I travel locally (within an hour). I always make sure I’m available before accepting any bookings, so your pet’s care will never be compromised. I’m available for evening walks during the week, and I’m open to overnight house sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I’m very aware of my surroundings and always prioritize your pet’s safety, whether we’re out walking or relaxing at home. I’m great at reading animals’ energy and body language, which helps me respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I follow any instructions carefully and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Yesenia was wonderful with our dog. We used her for check ins. She made the time to come over prior for a meet and greet, and gave thorough updates (and asked appropriate questions) while we were away. It was our first time trying Rover and it went great. We would definitely work with her again.”
“Christine provided excellent service from start to finish! She was always responsive, communicative, and genuinely kind and attentive to our pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Samantha is awesome! This is the first time I am leaving my babies with a sitter and Samantha did a fantastic job. One of my fur babies threw up after breakfast. Samantha cleaned up, played with her to make sure she is okay, and offered to check in on her later again, things only a true animal lover would do. We would love to have Samantha cat-sit again!”
“Lily has been sitting our cats for many short & lengthy periods for three years now. Lily is wonderful - - I recommend her highly! Always reliable and conscientious, she is invariably pleasant, easy to communicate with, and easy to reach. Most importantly, she clearly loves & understands animals. Our cats love her!”
“Amazing to work with! She provided excellent care for my 2 cats while I was traveling as well as kept me up to date. She was flexible and understanding of my travel.”
“I was immediately comfortable leaving my cats for boarding with Oksana. She has a great space for them and is a responsible, kind person. I could tell my cats were well taken care of while I was gone. She was even able to brush my cat who is quite shy and timid. I recommend her for all your pet care needs. Thank you, Oksana!”
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and gerbils. I grew up with many dogs in my household of all sizes and ages. I've cared for many cats as well, including spicy and shy cats. I am active and enjoy running and playing with dogs! As a part time job I teach pickleball clinics. I know the importance of being respectful and patient with animals, tuning into their needs and individual personalities. Vegetarian for the animals! After a successful IT career for 11+ years, I am now a student going back to school to get my master's in social work and have open availability for pet care throughout my week. I am very respectful of the needs of my clients, and make sure that their pet and home is well cared for! Communication is my strong suit and I will make sure to send photos and texts regarding care!
About: I have had cats my entire life and would love to drop in and visit your kitty! I currently have a Maine coon named Franklin who keeps me on my toes! I have no problem helping out with cat litter, playing, food and water, or just giving them some extra love while you’re away!
“Cheyanne took great care of our cat. She came to the house to meet with me and go over everything before I went away. While I was gone she left a note each day explaining what was done during her visit. I would recommend her to others and definitely plan on asked her to care for our cat next time I travel.”
“Jonathan was a great pet-sitter. He was timely and attentive to our pets for the weekend we were out of town recently. We didn't have to worry about our animals being lonely, particularly our geriatric dog, Petey. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs pet care!”

“Elizabeth amazing! Lots of pictures and great communication. You can tell she really loves caring for doggos and treated my little guy like he was her own. Pretty sure my dog was little sad to have to come back home to me. Ha! Will be using her again!”
“Marna is just wonderful with our little dog. Marna is conscientious and kind . She is great at keeping us updated with posts and pictures. We highly recommend her.”
“Robin is so great! I’m thankful to have found her and Stella (her pup)! My 3-month old puppy was able to be cared for while I was away. Robin was super communicative and easy going.”
“Lindsay is fantastic. She has been a lifesaver with our new pup. He always comes home happy and tired, and Lindsay always gives great updates so I know exactly how our pup has been throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: My husband used to train in the canine unit so he’s definitely taught me a thing or two! I’ve had cats my whole life as well! I am patient and loving towards all living beings. I enjoy pet sitting & loving them when their families aren’t around. I am also a nanny and have cared for many pets through the families I’ve cared for. I am available for boarding & daycare Friday-Sundays. Sometimes I have more availability but not always. I am open to being flexible as much as I possibly can. I have a large yard, house is a decent size so pets can all enjoy their own personal space or cuddle together. I don’t have an extra crate but I’d be happy to set one up (must be provided by owner).
“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”
About: I raised, trained, and cared for my family dog from a puppy when I was in high school. Post college I adopted a senior dog and cared for him for the last couple of years of his life. In the meantime I have been a sitter for friends and family dogs and cats over the years. I am used to giving medications (even when it needs to be disguised) and staying on a feeding schedules. I am very up for caring for senior dogs who want to lay around the house, and equally ready to go on long walks with a dog with more energy. I work from home always, so will be around during the day for pups who like to hang! I'm on the East End of Portland with the Eastern Prom very close by so plenty of places to walk and explore. I am usually out and about in the evenings for a few hours at a time. On the weekends I like to be busy, but can certainly adjust my time when I have a dog or cat around. I have a large one bedroom, and am on the 3rd floor. So my place is likely not good for pets with mobility issues (unless they are small enough that I can carry them). I live very close to lots of nature easily accessible and make a point to get outside often.
“Savannah was fantastic in taking in our pup for a last minute daycare stay. She was responsive, caring, flexible and so great with our girl Phoebe! Our pup is needy, anxious and a bit quirky but Savannah was great with her. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Chelsea has been watching my brand new pup for a couple of days while I am at work and when I come to pick him up he wants to stay and play! She has kept me updated throughout the day which I so appreciate!”
“Natalie watched our 13 week old puppy and she had an amazing day! Great care with the added bonus of so much socialization. Our puppy had a fantastic time and passed out on the ride home. Five stars is not enough!”
About: I love animals and will take extra special care of them. I can provide a safe and loving environment for your precious pets. I’m new on rover but have extensive experience with pet care in the state of Maine and Florida. I look forward to offering services here in Windham I took an early retirement so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I like to stay busy and find pet care very rewarding. I could do drop in for walks and play time or overnights in my home. I love having pets around and feel that I can provide a safe area.
“Jorgi loved his time there! She was awesome to help me out at spur of the moment/ last minute request. I highly recommend her!!!! I hope to be back in the area again soon and will definitely have her watch Jorgi again!!”
“Jennifer was outstanding! She immediately put both me and my dog at ease. I absolutely would encourage folks to consider using her for their pet care needs. Great communication and a nice spotless environment.”
About: Hi, my name is Michael and I am a proud owner of a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and my dog and I would both love to have your pups company. Please let me know if you have any special instructions and I promise your pup will have a comfortable stay with many fun walks. Thanks! I provide 5 walks a day for my own pup and would love for your dog to join. I work from home so your dog will have ongoing company throughout most of the day. I have one friendly dog in a quiet calm environment with no children. I will feed and walk your doggy as requested, and can provide lots of pets as well.
“Thank you for taking care of Ramsay! Jaclyn took great care of Ramsay and was so communicative with us about how he was doing. She took beautiful photos of him too! Clearly loves animals. Anytime we are in the area we will book with you!”
About: I am a reliable pet sitter with several years of animal care experience. I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs, cats and other pets of all sizes and ages! I am patient and committed to maintaining your pet’s routine while you are away. I offer dog boarding, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I live in a country setting with a very large backyard that provides plenty of space for exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I also have a beautiful walking trail and a 40 acre field directly off my backyard for dogs that love to run! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your pet care needs or to schedule a meet and greet! Since pet care is my full-time focus, I’m able to stay consistent with feeding times, potty breaks, and any special instructions. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care and maintain each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I have three small, friendly Chihuahuas and a cat. They’re all well behaved and have always done well with other animals. If needed, I can easily keep them on a separate floor to make sure visiting pets feel comfortable and have their own space.
“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!”
“Our pup was very happy at Kylie’s house. It was totally puppy-proof, she was attentive to our dog’s needs and she was easy to communicate with. Kylie and John seem like great people and we would be happy to use them again sometime.”

Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve never not lived with pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits - you name it. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I have two kiddos in school right now - which leaves me with a lot of time for pet snuggles and active walks. I can be flexible to meet your pets’ needs! I have two large dogs and two cats at home with me and my family. I’m used to lots of noise and chaos - I don’t scare easy!
About: I've been a small animal veterinary technician for more than 10 years. My specialty is senior care, including managing cats or dogs with diabetes or kidney disease. I previously had a cat-sitting business when I worked at The Cat Practice in New York City in the mid 1990s. Here in Maine, I have had occasional pet sitting jobs. I am also an experienced horse owner. I am currently working part-time, and can easily fit in visits to your furry friends. I am based out of Gray and will travel within 30-45 minutes of my home. I can also provide over-night care as well. For home visits, I will spend at least 30 minutes with your pet at each visit, if not longer. During that time I will play with them, take them for walks (if canine), or sit quietly if a kitty or older canine prefers. I will feed, ensure they have fresh, clean water, and maintain litter boxes if feline.
“Repeating costumer! Have already booked for another walk. They are so sweet with my dogs. Give great feedback back and pictures. Always reliable. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve been talking care of all types of dogs since I was 10. Started small with just family and around the neighborhood but as I got older I’ve had many people ask for me to pet sit or just bring their dog for a walk. Give their animal some love! I’m currently working a part time job and enrolled in college for nursing so college breaks and holidays work best for me. Although, come summer I will be able to have more flexibility due to not being away at college. Always wanting to get exercise and play with animals so if walking your dog or checking in is what you need then I’m the perfect person for that. I have an invisible fence that my puppy Lola uses. She is super friendly but very vocal. I’m in a safe neighborhood where animals are well loved. My backyard is huge with lots of space to run and a great pool that my dog loves to swim in. If we are at your home then I will make sure I am aware of the surroundings before so I can best accommodate for the safety of both myself and the animals.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life (labs) but love all breeds and cats as well. Grew up with senior dogs and currently have a 2y old puppy that I train and have taken care of since he was 2m old as well as a 8y old that I’ve trained since she was a puppy. I’m currently taking part time classes at USM in Portland during the week, so I am can be flexible and available during the day. Based on your needs, I am able to accommodate your schedule for weeks or weekends!! I’ve trained my current dogs to leash walk and take them to the park off-leash whenever we go. They are both crate trained as well.
“We were very pleased with Lily’s service. Having a mid day walk was able to cut down on the potty accidents with our older dog while we were at work. She even was able to tame and walk our other protective dog that’s never gone outside for any other dog walker!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I have walked dogs/ been a dog sitter on and off for the last ten years. I volunteer at the greater portland animal shelter, I help assist a dog training class there and am working towards becoming a certified dog trainer. That being said, I also love cats!! I am known as a crazy cat lady (in the best way), and will give all of your animals care and love. My schedule is very flexible, I can work with you to find the right fit. For my dog, we take her on two short walks a day and one longer walk in addition to daily enrichment and training! I believe in positive reinforcement and will love your dogs like the previous babies deserve! This means lots of pets, praise, treats and play time!
“Bella did an amazing job with Nala! This was her first time with Nala - and it was very appreciative how she updated how the visits were each time and pictures! Would definitely use again 😊”
“Hannah is awesome and took great care of my 5 year old dog Rosie. She was super responsive with communication, arrived early for the walk, and sent pictures of Rosie on the walk. Thank you so much Hannah!”
“Johnathan took great care of our two Corgis in our home while we were out of town for a week. He is responsible, trustworthy with great communication and we knew our boys were in good hands. We received daily reports with daytime and evening photos, and immediate replies to our texts. We returned home to two happy and well-cared-for dogs. Johnathan is very conscientious and I recommend him without hesitation. We look forward to using him again.”
About: I have loved being with my dog Boomer for almost 5 years now, from 7.5 weeks on. I also handled my family dogs on numerous occasions. I am currently in between jobs, so my entire schedule is molded around being available for a pet at anytime. I understand the need to have someone as devoted to their pet as I am. My schedule is very flexible. I have a friendly dog named Boomer, he is almost 5 and loves to go on adventures. Living here in Yarmouth gives me almost immediate access to many parks, trails and dog parks for our pets to go romp around in.
“Matt did a great job with our two pups. They are both rescue dogs and he was very focused on making sure they felt comfortable with him, which we really appreciate! The dogs had a great time and we had peace of mind knowing they were safe and well cared for on their walk.”
About: I grew up with big dogs and many cats and have a lot of experience with them! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets while they are out of town or if they are behind on time. I am an animal lover and would love to keep your pet company while you’re away. I currently work full time so my schedule varies weekly! I would’ve to hep get your pups outside when I get home from work or before depending on my shift. Please reach out to coordinate! Not only will I walk you dog but I’ll make sure to give them lots of love and more than just a bathroom break! I’ll make sure to get the energy they’ve been saving all day out.

She took him on a ton of walks, swims and adventures. We were very very happy we booked with Audrey. We will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I recently lost my 14 y/o Coonhound (Jazzy) She was the bestest girl in the world, and the best friend anyone could ask for. I am not ready for another dog just yet, but I would love to have another heartbeat in the house. My schedule is very flexible, in the event that I have to run some errands, I am happy to take your dog for a car ride with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard and in close proximity to trails for long walks that I often frequent. Also, I could not be happier to have your dog hang out on the couch with me while I read or work from home.
