Highly-rated overnight sitters - Orono
“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!”
“Kate was a gem and truly saved us when we were in a pinch. My dog had a severe allergy flare up when we were on vacation and was in need of a rest day with some TLC. Kate and family went above and beyond to give him all of the blankets, cuddles, and relaxation he needed while we continued hiking in high humidity and wet conditions. I’m super careful about who cares for Tux and am glad I put my trust in Kate! We made it home without worsening Tux’s allergies, and he’s doing much better now.”
“Upon meeting Joseph and Nieves while dropping Lucy off, I knew she’d be in great hands. Lucy loved them both immediately and felt right at home. Joseph and Nieves have a beautiful home that is totally dog friendly. You instantly feel their genuine love for dogs as soon as you walk in. Joseph went above and beyond by sending lots of photos and videos of Lucy and I can’t express enough how amazing it feels to be worry free when leaving your beloved dog with someone, especially overnight. Lucy had a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend Joseph highly enough! I will definitely be leaving Lucy again in Joseph and Nieves’ loving care.”
“We boarded our dog with Jennifer for 10 days while we travel to Canada. Jennifer was absolutely wonderful in her care for our dog. She was flexible in the meeting times and sent us pictures or videos daily while she cared for our dog. I would highly recommend her!”
“Tyler was extremely patient and accommodating for my Harley and she felt right at home which is unlike her when new environments. I was extremely happy to see her so at ease and comfortable from the time I dropped off.”
“Tabrizia was amazing. My dog had a health crisis and Tabrizia and her husband handled it with great care and grace. They were so kind to my dog (and me). I would recommend them to anyone.”

“We, and the dogs, had a great experience with the doggies boarding with Bailey for a long weekend! The doggies loved it and we got photos, videos, and updates daily. She was very communicative and flexible. 100% plan to book again. Thank you!”
“Nieves was amazing! I have always relied on family to watch any dogs I own but I stepped out of my comfort zone and was thoroughly impressed. Murphy and Chloe were so well taken care of by Nieves and her boyfriend. I received photos and video updates throughout their stay. It made being away from them so much easier. They were so loved!! We will be trusting them with our fur babies in the future for sure!!”

“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.”
“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”
“Emily was great! She provided detailed and frequent updates on our dogs. She was informative, friendly and very caring. She even provided grooming tips. We would use her services again and recommend her.”
“We asked for help on super short notice during a heat wave for our two pups and Ella kept them cool and happy and sent us pictures of their adventures, so we were able to have an adventure without worrying about them. She made them at home with her crew and we picked up happy dogs!”
“I had to cancel at the last minute because my dog had to go to Er because she got something stuck up her nose. Yep that’s right she a smart one ? Would book with Karen again when in need”
“Cannot thank charlotte and her husband enough for all their help this last weekend. They were amazing with our pup and have such a great little spot.

Cat caregivers near you - Orono
About: I’ve grown up around cats my whole life and feel very comfortable caring for them. I have experience watching other people’s cats, including feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them attention while their owners are away.
“Emily was the best! She watched our cat while we were away for our wedding and gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She came everyday to feed him his wet food and his medication. Our cat snuggled right up to her as if he’d known her forever. She sent a nice report card and so many good photos from each visit. We also came home to the sweetest handwritten card from her, wishing us congratulations and sharing more about her visits with our cat. We feel so lucky to have found Emily and will most definitely be calling her again next time we’re away!”
“Ellie is awesome! She stayed at our home with our three cats. She befriended our cranky old man & took excellent care of our boys. Ellie kept in contact with photos & updates of the boys. I greatly appreciate her care & support allowing me to feel comfortable while traveling. I will most definitely plan any future trip around Ellie’s availability to look after our guys!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 3 years now, starting with helping out with my family. But now I have been pet sitting for friends and family, and around 2 years I started working at a dog daycare, helping them out there! As a current nursing student, I am willing to work on a schedule that works for you and your pup! I am able to help anytime before or after my classes, and even in between! When it comes to safety, I am willing to do whatever is most comfortable for you and your pup. Whether this is crating your pup during the day or letting them out of leash outside!
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.
“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!”

I was the owner of a lab mix, a mini dachshund, many Dalmatians, and multiple cats. I’m comfortable with any animal usually, you could call me Pocahontas. I have many years of experience with all aspects of training puppies, including some doggie sign language for commands. I have connections and great resources to parks/areas to play outside and walk. I am available for any pet care needs.

About: I have taken care of one of my best friend's cats for years when she goes out of town. She has three cats, all with different needs and a strict feeding schedule. I have now cared for other friends and coworker's cats over the last few years that all have different needs, including being indoor and indoor-outdoor cats.
About: Hello! I love all pets (furry, feathered and scaled) and have extensive experience providing animal care. Growing up we had fish, dogs, turtles, snakes, guinea pigs and a cat. My mother also made sure we gave back to our community volunteering at animal shelters where I helped post-op kittens and puppies heal in comfort. Currently I am the number one pet sitter all of my friends call when they leave town and was told that if I was smart, I would sign up for Rover to expand my care network. I am currently working on a PhD in Biomedical Science and make my own schedule. With notice I can fit potty walks into my daily routine, evening check ins or even overnight visits to care for your furry friends. When it comes to animals I try my best to work with compassion, patience and lots of love. I just recently adopted a new fur baby named Grim from the Pixel fund, a non-profit organization that rescues animals from kill shelters. I have him harness trained so we can read and play outside!
About: While I have more experience with dogs, many dog owners have cats as well. This has given me the opportunity to get to know many cats over the years and bond with both them and their owners. Looking forward to getting to know you and your cats!
“Jazlynne is so great! Very communicative and caring. I got full reports for the animals which is amazing when you’re missing your fur babies. I would recommend Jazlynne to everyone I know!”
“Toni is a true animal lover! She sent me dozens of photos and truly spoiled my cat. While away I had no worries over quality of care and was able to relax on vacation knowing my cat was loved. Thank you Toni!!!”

“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.”

“Danielle welcomed Kassi into her calm home environment and took great care of her. She was responsive when we messaged her, and understanding of our fur baby’s quirks. Kassi even felt comfortable enough to eat a treat (something she never does day 1 in a new place). Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood. Various tasks such as, dog sitting full time, or just taking on a short walk and feeding dinner.

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. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets get consistent attention and care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I work as a team with my roommate to ensure pets are always supervised. In my home and in clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintain a calm environment, and provide consistent care and attention.
“Jessica is an angel. We needed someone to watch two senior,…spoiled rotten,…rescue dogs for us while we visited Acadia National Park. It was a spur of the moment decision. And Jessica was there for us. Please don’t hesitate to leave your pets with Jessica. And consider yourself lucky if she’s available.”
“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!”
“Karen was great with our 2 dogs. She was very accommodating in terms of picking the dogs up and she gave updates (including pictures) throughout the day. Our dogs seemed comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely use Karen again.”
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. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast, which means your dog won't just be letting themselves out into a yard, they will be getting true mental and physical exercise. From neighborhood strolls to exploring fresh air trails, I love keeping dogs active, stimulated, and happy. If your dog has energy to burn, they will find the perfect match here! As a stay at home mom, my days are spent right here at home, which gives me incredible flexibility. Pet care isn’t something I have to rush through before or after a work shift. It is naturally woven right into the heart of my daily family routine. I am always around, so your pup will benefit from constant supervision, a predictable schedule, and plenty of companionship. My approach to pet care is rooted in safety, structure, and treating your dog exactly like a member of my own family. Safety is my top priority. If being boarded at my home, I have a fully fenced in yard where your dog can run, and play completely securely under my close supervision. During my pop in visits, I handle all the essentials, including walking, feeding, refreshing water bowls, and managing potty breaks. You will always receive a quick update and a photo, so you can have total peace of mind knowing exactly how much fun your pet is having!
About: I have 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, and I actually love being around them, and putting my skills to good use. They bring me great joy, and I try to reciprocate that. I would love to work locally so I am able to work my own hours around my grandsons educational needs, while providing income by doing what I love. I have my Veterinary Assistant certificate, and have experience in applying some medications. I am aware of the drastic New England temperatures, as I've lived her all my life, and I take that into great consideration when caring for the animals entrusted in my care. I appreciate your consideration. Thank you for your time. I am available seven days a week, 24/7 I can work a schedule with you, or be on call. I will send you pictures and updates, you can call to check in at anytime at all. I have always practiced safety first when working with animals. I truly love them all, and will take necessary precautions to prevent anything negative happening. I make them feel at home while in my care, they are allowed free range of my home. I know some dogs can go unleashed, but I do NOT let them off leash while in my care. I apologize for this, but I will walk them on a leash as many times as they like!

About: Hi! I’m a student at the University of Maine and a big animal lover. I have three cats back at home and experience watching small dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy and safe. I’m a student at UMaine and pet care fits well into my routine because I’m looking for flexible work. I’m able to plan my schedule around classes and make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and time throughout the day. I provide care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their environment. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow their routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions closely. I prioritize safety, trust, and cleanliness, and make sure pets feel secure, well cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs for my whole life from childhood on. Taking care of family pets, as well as now pet sitting for friends when they go away or stopping in to let the animals out through the day for bathroom breaks or feeds. I am currently working part-time with 3-4 free days during the week, during which I spend most of it working/playing with my dog. I have a fenced in area for dogs to play and have a crate if needed.

“Justin and Eva were very happy and enthusiastic about meeting my dog, Bruce. They listened to all my recommendations and did a successful 1 hour walk, even in the rain! Very pleasant people to work with.”
About: I am an experienced Rover sitter that has recently returned to sitting as I've started graduate school and no longer working big girl business job :) I am a graduate student at the University of Maine and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up in the south with dogs of all sizes, then moved to Maine to start my program. I moved with my two cats: Nugget and Tripod (yes he has three legs, lol). They mean so much to me so I understand and have the utmost respect for the connection people have with their pets. Rover is a great way for me to love on all kinds of fur babies! I've been pet-sitting since I was a teen and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, chinchillas- you name it!- ranging from small to large, young to old. During the summer- I have greater availability as classes are out and I don't have to teach. I do ask that drop-ins honor a 1.5-2 hour window as things come up, but I try to be as available as I can at the times requested. As I have two pets of my own, I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them to watch your fur babies can be intimidating. I will make every attempt to ensure each visit is as stress-free for your pets as possible. I treat anyone's pets the way I would want someone to treat my own- with love and care!

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs my whole life, and it's something that's become second nature to me. I currently have two cats and one dog, and each of them has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've learned how to read their behaviors, provide the right nutrition, and create a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in. From playful moments to quiet companionship, caring for them has brought me so much joy and a deep sense of responsibility. Whether it's grooming, training, or those unexpected trips to the vet, pet care has taught me patience, empathy, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine. I start each morning by feeding my two cats and my dog, making sure they all have fresh water. I take my dog out for a walk in the morning and again in the evening, which also gives us some good exercise and bonding time. Throughout the day, I clean the litter boxes, check on my pets to make sure they’re comfortable, and give them attention or play with them when I can. In the evenings, I often brush them or do basic grooming if needed. Taking care of them has become a natural part of my schedule — it keeps me grounded and gives my day a sense of structure and purpose. I will update my schedule here weekly. I work full time in Bangor, so I would be available any day after 4PM always, and then three or four days a week I will have open availability. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I make sure they’re fed on a consistent schedule, have clean water, and receive plenty of attention and exercise. I clean litter boxes daily for my cats and take my dog out for regular walks. I also spend time grooming them and watching for any signs of health issues. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, stick to the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress, and treat their home and animals with the same care and respect I give my own. I make sure to communicate clearly with the owner and provide updates so they feel at ease while away.
“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.”

“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!”
“Kate was a gem and truly saved us when we were in a pinch. My dog had a severe allergy flare up when we were on vacation and was in need of a rest day with some TLC. Kate and family went above and beyond to give him all of the blankets, cuddles, and relaxation he needed while we continued hiking in high humidity and wet conditions. I’m super careful about who cares for Tux and am glad I put my trust in Kate! We made it home without worsening Tux’s allergies, and he’s doing much better now.”
“Upon meeting Joseph and Nieves while dropping Lucy off, I knew she’d be in great hands. Lucy loved them both immediately and felt right at home. Joseph and Nieves have a beautiful home that is totally dog friendly. You instantly feel their genuine love for dogs as soon as you walk in. Joseph went above and beyond by sending lots of photos and videos of Lucy and I can’t express enough how amazing it feels to be worry free when leaving your beloved dog with someone, especially overnight. Lucy had a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend Joseph highly enough! I will definitely be leaving Lucy again in Joseph and Nieves’ loving care.”
“We boarded our dog with Jennifer for 10 days while we travel to Canada. Jennifer was absolutely wonderful in her care for our dog. She was flexible in the meeting times and sent us pictures or videos daily while she cared for our dog. I would highly recommend her!”
“Tyler was extremely patient and accommodating for my Harley and she felt right at home which is unlike her when new environments. I was extremely happy to see her so at ease and comfortable from the time I dropped off.”
“Jessica and her family were absolutely great! We felt really comfortable leaving our dog with them and all the photos they send during the stay are so fun! Would highly recommend their service and we will certainly use her again in the future! Our dog seemed like he didn’t want to leave! :)”

“We, and the dogs, had a great experience with the doggies boarding with Bailey for a long weekend! The doggies loved it and we got photos, videos, and updates daily. She was very communicative and flexible. 100% plan to book again. Thank you!”
“Nieves was amazing! I have always relied on family to watch any dogs I own but I stepped out of my comfort zone and was thoroughly impressed. Murphy and Chloe were so well taken care of by Nieves and her boyfriend. I received photos and video updates throughout their stay. It made being away from them so much easier. They were so loved!! We will be trusting them with our fur babies in the future for sure!!”

“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.”
“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

Charlotte was so sweet and super communicative which is always so nice and reassuring. Would highly recommend them and can't wait for our next visit!”
“What a great experience with Shmerl B. Her and Lenny (her Black Lab) took wonderful care of my girls! They were looked after as if they were her dogs. I got many pictures and updates while I was away which eased my mind. Even though I missed my girls' terribly I had great piece of mind knowing they were in great hands. I will definitely use Shmerl B. again as I travel occasionally for business. Thank you Rover & Shmerl B.!!!”

“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!”
