“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 .”
“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😘”
“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 :)”
“Once again our doodle, Jaxon, had a fun time at Alina’s. He loves being outside and playing I the snow and he had plenty of opportunities with Alina. His tail was wagging when we dropped him off and he was happy to see us at pickup. We love being able to drop Jaxon off when we travel to NH.”
“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.”
“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. 🐾”

Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”

About: My cat experience goes way back over a few decades. I started out with having my own cat, and have done pet sitting for numerous cats as well. I’ve handled everything from cuddly lap cats to independent divas, and I love them all! I’m patient, attentive, and know that every cat has their own vibe-I’m just here to warn their approval (and maybe a few purrs).
“Amy was personable and professional, and she kept in touch with photo updates when we were away. I believe our sweet kitty was well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

About: As you might’ve read in my general experience info, I have lots of experience with cats! I’ve sat for a private rescue before, I’m familiar with anything from barn cats, to house cats, to kittens, to seniors! I’m familiar with giving medication and any and all types of foods! I’m also more than happy watching any injuries or doing some injury care!

“Vanessa is the first pet sitter we have tried since moving out of state and we feel very lucky we found her. She is very caring and loving and her house and yard are very well suited for safety and comfort. Both Princess and I felt comfortable after our meet and greet. Princess had an excellent day there with Vanessa and her pup Pepper who is a very sweet and good boy! I highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely be booking more stays with her!”
“My 6 months old puppy Obe loved his stay and got lots of playtime. I received pictures and updates during his visit. Would definitely use Amanda as a sitter again.”
“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.”
“Khaila provided amazing day care for my almost 2 year old cockapoo when I had a long work day. She was patient and gentle with him despite him being a nervous boy at first. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Briana accepted our Daisy on short notice and on a holiday weekend. Daisy had such a good day that I don't think she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up! I would highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“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!!”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”
“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 !”
“Nicolette has been enormously helpful with our energetic pup. She took him on highly engaging woods walks, leaving him happy and calm each time she brought him back. It is abundantly clear Nicolette loves and takes great care in her interactions with animals, and we feel lucky to have found her as a dog walker whom we have every intention of reaching out to for ongoing help/care of our dog.”
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.
“Kara was a huge help when we had a last minute need for someone to come by in the middle of the day to care for our dog, Tucker. Tucker loved her right away and had a great time playing with Kara each day. We'll definitely work with Kara again!”
About: Hii!! I’m a patient, caring sitter with 3 years of experience of caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled at giving medications, calming anxious pets, and provided the attention your furry baby needs. I’m happy to send frequent updates to keep you at ease, treating your pet with all the love and care they deserve. I am currently looking for some time to spend with pets when I am not working. I have a passion to be with animals and it brightens my day to help someone and spend time with a cute furry pet. I love to be active and create an environment that the pets can thrive and be loved. I have free time throughout the week to tend to their needs and get them out of the house or play with them to get their jitters out. For dogs, I love to play with them and go for walks or runs so they can go explore. For cats, I make sure their environment is clean and give them constant snuggles and comfort.
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.
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Gigi is so great with our two large dogs! I love the photos she takes and the dogs always seem like they had a great time with her! She is also really good with our more leash reactive rescue and we feel safe with her in Gigi’s care.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I've had experience with a variety of animals, especially dogs! My family has always had at least one dog, all with varying sizes. I've endured it all from the ankle biters, the sweetest pitbulls and border collies, to the greatest of the danes. I'm currently a college student, so my evenings and weekends are free! Being stuck in a classroom gives me the fuel I need to go on a walk with your dog or experience (safe) zoomies with your cat. Summer time is usually great because it means more time outdoors for all of us! I'm currently unable to house your pets, but I can be with them in their favorite place- whether that be your home or on a walk!
About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I know how important your pet is to you and I always promise to treat them like my own. I can check in on them for walks, feedings, and playtime so that they feel loved and cared for! I’m currently available everyday for walks and drop ins. Although Thurs-Saturdays I am only available after 2pm due to my part time summer job. I can no longer offer overnight pet sitting unfortunately. But if you need a daily check in while you are at work or if you’re planning on being out on the lake all day and need someone to stop in and stay with your buddy so they don’t get lonely then I just may be the perfect fit! I follow instructions and use common sense to ensure your pet stays safe and has all of their needs met. I keep your house tidy as I come and go and keep you updated with plenty of pictures so you can have peace of mind.
“Catharine has been walking my pups almost weekly for several months now. My pups go on fantastic walks with her and she alway sends fun photos of their adventures. I feel completely secure and confident with Catharine walking my pups and highly recommend Catharine to other puppy parents.”

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 :)
“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!”
“Christina is just plain awesome. She updates me with pictures and detailed descriptions of what she’s up to with my pup and it makes me feel so comfortable!! You can genuinely tell she just loves animals and that’s something that makes me feel at ease when I drop off Maverick (not to mention he gets so excited to see her now). My doggo comes home happy and exhausted everytime we book with her!! I am so glad I found Christina :)”
