“Nicolette was professional, attentive and a great dog sitter taking them on sniffventures, walks, dog parks, ect. Our pet had such a great time making new friends he didn't want to leave when we came to pick him up. We'll definitely be doing business with Nicolette in the future! Thank you so much Nicolette for being exactly what we and Odin wanted/needed, you're the best:)”

“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.”
About: Hi! We’re Natalie and Tim, and we have both had dogs our entire lives. Natalie worked at a Humane Society in college, and Tim fostered dogs (and was a “failed foster” parent) for many years before we moved to Maine with our two doggies, Penny & Willa. We spend lots of time taking our dogs and dogs who we sit for to local nature trails in Cumberland or enjoying fetch with the Chuck-It in our large backyard. Our home is kid-free, and we will treat your pups like our own! Tim works from home, and Natalie is a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule. Your dogs will be home with either or both of us for the majority, if not the entire time! We have a large yard (1.5 acres) on a quiet street in a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Although our yard is not physically fenced, we do have an electric fence that could work for your dog if they are trained on this at your home! We are happy to crate your dogs - we’re even happy to have them in our bedroom and on the couch if they prefer!
“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”
“Another great stay with Anne! We decided to start calling it “going to Annie camp” because Thorin has sooooo much fun playing with both familiar and new friends when he stays there. Anne is the greatest and we love her!”
“Marna and family took excellent care of Gus. Daily updates were provided and prompt/detailed communication about drop off/pick up made a quick getaway stress free. He was a part of the family and was a happy, tired boy when he came home. We’ve already booked our next stay!”
“Mya had a wonderful stay at Sri’s while i was out of town. I could tell that Sri has a lot of experience with dogs and loves having them around! will definitely book with Sri again next time i am in need of a sitter!”
“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.”
“Molly and Ricky are very responsible and loving dog sitters. Our dog, Myla is so excited the moment we pull into their driveway! Their pups are wonderful playmates and accepted Myla from her very first stay. We’ll be back!”
“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!”
“Vicky and her family and friends were wonderful! Hudson had such fun and kept so busy. It was nice to get frequent updates and lots of pictures. We could see that he was very happy!”
“Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.”
“Kyle and Mariah were fantastic caretakers for Lobo for the past week! Got photo updates multiple times per day, and it's clear that he had a TON of engagement and activity - he put himself to bed when we got home 😂. Highly recommend!!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with a cat who was much more than a pet—because I didn’t have any brothers or sisters, she was my best friend and constant companion. Later, after meeting my husband, who had a dog, I discovered how much joy dogs bring and how different, fun, and rewarding it is to spend time with them. Now that my own children are older and more independent, I finally have some time to do something I’ve wanted for a while: care for other people’s dogs. Spending time with animals truly makes me happy, and I would love to give your dog the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. I’ve looked after dogs in my home and understand that every pet is unique. Some dogs love long walks and playtime, while others just want a quiet companion nearby. I’ll happily follow your dog’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What really sets me apart is how much I genuinely care. I pay close attention to the little details, carefully follow your instructions, and treat every pet like family. I’ll also send regular photos and updates, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pet. I’m available for afternoon walks during the week, as well as boarding. Your dog will have regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I always do my best to follow your pet’s usual schedule, so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. They will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and a cozy place to rest. . My children are older. They’re gentle and respectful, and they’ll happily play with your dog if that’s something your dog enjoys. I’ll also send regular photo updates, so you’ll always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”
“Claudia and Jason are truly amazing dog sitters. They took excellent care of our large Aussiedoodle , who never likes to be separated from me. They took him on many varied walks and on one of them even got him a pup ice cream, had cuddle time, time for play and rest. He returned home calm, confident and tired. I fully trust Claudia and Jason and am so grateful to them.”
“Jessica is fantastic. She was so good with our two pups for an overnight stay! She sent the best pictures, played with our pups with her children, and gave them a great place to stay for the night. Would highly recommend Jessica; and we will definitely not hesitate to send our dogs to her again!”
“Our dog, Maggie was happy with Abigail and Neil. They sent a few photos. She has a lot of energy and I'm sure she kept their dog, Molly busy. I appreciate them allowing Maggie to roam free in their home and on furniture.”
“Kym and Robert have taken care of our dog, Rosie, multiple times over the last couple of years. They are reliable, caring, and keep us updated with photos and messages while we are away. Rosie is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return home. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Rosie is in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kym and Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Lyndsay was great! This was our first time trusting someone who isn’t family to care for our cat Jose. We were a little nervous, and after the first drop in visit we completely relaxed. Jose is shy, but sweet and was comfortable with her immediately. Lyndsay sent photos and a report at each visit, she’s very fast to respond to messages. It couldn’t have gone smoother When we need a sitter again we will be reaching out to book Lyndsay.”

She did everything perfectly, was communicative and kept us updated the whole time, and was just so kind, polite, and easy to work with.

We’re really grateful to have someone like her in the area and would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you Kadie!!!”
“Sara is a fantastic cat sitter! She is absolutely a "cat whisperer" and we highly recommend her services if you have a finicky or neurotic wee beastie who needs that little bit of extra attention and care.”
About: I was raised with cats, and can't imagine the farm I grew up on without them. I've sat for a range of kitties of all ages and personalities. I would love to snuggle with a kitty, but am also respectful of non-cuddly friends. I'm the person who talks to animals before people when I enter a home... My cat/fur-sibling is named Sirius Black because she is so dog-like.
“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.”
“Bella did a great job taking care of our kitty while we were away! She did a great job communicating how our cat was doing and when he skipped a meal. She provided updates and pictures after every visit! We will definitely hire Bella in the future!”
“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”

“Stanley came home exhausted and happy. He was lucky to have the chance to play with other kids and dogs. This was an excellent opportunity for him to learn how interact with grouped dogs. Nicolette took great care to monitor his activity level and provided him many opportunities to get outside and explore. Her space is almost as incredible as her presence. We look forward to booking with her again.”
“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.”
“It was a pleasure to have our whippet puppy Fern cared for by Cassidy and Cody while on vacation in Cape May. Cassidy and Cody were so laid back, relaxed and flexible when it came times and days we needed care for Fern. Fern was nervous at first meeting and staying with new friends Gus, (their dog) and their 2 children, but she was wagging her tail and so excited to go back to their house the following day! Fern got extra walks, and even went to the beach with them! We felt very comfortable leaving our baby In their care! I also appreciated getting text and picture updates of how Fern was doing throughout the day. I would definitely reach out to Cody and Cassidy again for dog sitting when we are in the area.”

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!”
“Lindsay was great! She gave us tips on where to find vegan food, where we could park our RV as we were going on a whale watching tour. She took Maddie for walks and sent us pictures. Maddie was very comfortable with Lindsay. Lindsay was always quick to answer when we had questions. We highly recommend her.”

“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!!”

“My Rosie first met Matt when his partner was her primary sitter and she has been obsessed with him for well over a year. His wonderful partner is no longer dogsitting in the area so Matt joined Rover himself bc he loved the dogs so much and I could not be more grateful. He keeps her active enough that Rosie is tired when she gets home but most importantly I appreciate knowing she’s going to be loved on all day. Matt is flexible and super communicative plus he takes great pictures - I would recommend him without any hesitation.”

“We have a pupper with fear-based aggression and it takes a patient person to care for him when we are away. Christina is always our first choice! She always does an amazing job for short or long trips and we can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Matthew is great, and I already booked him again. When I come home, my dog Pilot is happy and freshly walked. It is making my surgery recovery much less stressful. I really appreciate his updates after walks!”
About: Mom of two little kids with my own two goldens and two cats. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 14 and had my first dog of my own (usually two at a time) since I was 22. I’m extremely passionate about all animals and I’d be honored to give your pets the same loving attention as my own! Can’t wait to go for walks or drop in to break up a long day alone inside. Please reach out to me 😊 I’m currently a stay at home mom with availability during the day when my kids are at school. Would love to give your pet a walk or attention during those hours. I take animal care very seriously. Safety on walks is the most important thing for your animal and I have tons of experience with this with all different types of harnesses and leashes.
“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 !”
About: I currently live in Falmouth and am looking to fill my schedule a bit more doing something I love! I've been a huge dog-person since I was young and have dog-sat for dozens of pups over the years! I've done walks, helped with training, overnight-sitting, etc. From puppies to senior dogs, I'm experienced with different breeds so really have no preference to what size or aged dog I will be caring for! I’m also comfortable with different temperaments in dogs and have experience with curbing reactive behavior and building confidence. I grew up with a beagle and now have a rescue border collie mix. Overall, I just love dogs and look forward to making pup walks a part of my daily routine! If it sounds like I may be a good fit- I look forward to hearing from you! I’m currently working part-time from home, so my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility when it comes to sitting and walking! I also have availability on weekend days! I offer a safe and loving energy to all the pets I care for! I understand every dog/pet is different which will require specific needs and care catered to them. I’m comfortable with different temperaments when it comes to walking, and have a handful of experience curbing reactive behavior with my own pup and building confidence while on the leash.
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, starting at the age of 7. My family currently has three dogs (one small and two medium) that I care for regularly. I am able to walk the three on a lease comfortably and have played a large role in training them. Although I prefer dogs, I grew up with a cat that I loved and cared for. I am able to provide compassion and care to a variety of pet personalities. With years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I understand how important it is to find a sitter/ walker you can trust. Whether your pet needs playtime, a dependable routine or just company, I’m here to provide loving and reliable care. I am studying for a board exam and working part time. My part time job is flexible, allowing Sat, Sun,Mon, Wed and Fri to have open availability. I am more likely to commit to requests that are received a few days to a week prior. I care for pets in their home by meeting them where they are at; literally and personality wise. With three dogs of my own at home, I am unable to watch your pet outside of their home. In caring for your pet in their environment it helps reduce stress and attempt to maintain any form of routine they have. I am considerate of multiple personalities and consciously make an effort to accommodate the pets needs. With dogs I have watched in the past, I attempt to give them familiarity with their routine, within mine and their comfort. I walk familiar roads/paths, feed them on their schedule (if possible) and attain to any of their needs. I will use any devices/ equipment you typically use and will prioritize safety outside the home (using leases, collars, etc.).
“Alyssa has house sat and walked our dog Mary-Shelley. She has done an amazing job working with Mary and gives detailed updates of the walks and days. Mary can be a reactive dog and Alyssa does a great job handling her and keeping her going! Would recommend Alyssa for anyone!”
About: Who's a good dog? All of them. My step-dog is the love of my life, and I'm the person who talks to animals more than humans at a party. I have experience with: Dogs, cats, fish, rodents, horses, chickens, other birds, reptiles, and more. As a former field biologist, I handled a wide variety of animals and completed Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) training. I'm open to caring for almost any critter. Send me a message so we can discuss what your critter needs. New-ish to Rover. Before 2025, all my clients were by word of mouth in extreme southern Maine and New Hampshire. We recently moved, and I decided it was time to join Rover. A few Rover notes: If you need to cancel a booking and get a full refund, please leave a good review. Losing income is challenging, but positive reviews help. Meet & greets are not paid, so please consider leaving a positive review (or tip) after the booked service to help with fuel costs. Booking a a drop-in service as a meet&greet is another great option. Drop-In prices are set assuming no harness/leash is required. For example, you have a fully fenced in yard. If you want your pet walked, please book a walk. My schedule is variable, so just message me so we can discuss what your critter needs. This summer I have lots of availability. Thank you! I am currently not taking client's pets into my own home. I am open to a variety of conditions for home visits/walks/play dates/check-ins. Just send me a message so we can discuss your set up and what your critter needs.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life from senior cats/dogs to kittens/puppies. I have three cats of my own and two family dogs. I treat every animal like I would my own. I’m currently on summer break from my paraprofessional position. With that, I have a lot of extra time on my hands that I would love to fill with sweet and adorable pets. I follow plans and instructions that have been provided to me meticulously and with great care. I unfortunately have two cats at home that are not fond of other pets staying over. Due to my cats preferences I will keep my cat at the clients home or outside.
“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 😊”
About: I had had cats for as long as I can remember, I have also had Guinea pigs and 45 chickens at one point in time I am currently a full time student at central Maine community college so my schedule carries, but I am always available after 2pm. I have modays and Fridays free and I am available most of the day on Wednesday I have 2 cats currently and my girlfriend has 2 dogs. I make sure that all of the animals in my life get plenty of play time and attention.
“Already booked follow up walks! We had reached out to a few people to see about getting Brinkley a regular Saturday walker. One of my top choices messaged back and said she was out of town for a couple weeks but Riley was staying at her place and could pick up the ones until she is back. Riley came by and hung out with us and Brinkley for 20-minutes before the walk! He is a shy boy who takes some time to warm up and she was so great with him. It was crazy cold that day and Riley had zero hesitation -- and she was engaged every second... even longer than she needed to! We've had a couple of bad walker experiences as of late (either ignoring our one non-negotiable rule which almost ended in tragedy or taking him to the park and sitting with him for long periods of time, so he didn't get any exercise), so Riley was a breath of fresh air! Brinkley did very well with her and came back as a tuckered out, super cuddly pup. Couldn't ask for anything more! I've already confirmed Riley for walks for the rest of the time she's in town.”
About: I have many years of experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and clients. I have also fostered a dog for a span of a couple weeks. Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I therefore have plenty of love and attention to give to every animal I care for. I enjoy keeping pets active with walks and outdoor play, spending quality time with them indoors, maintaining a clean environment, and, of course, rewarding them with treats when appropriate. I am a calm, dependable, and positive person who values routine and consistency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away :) I love routine and live by my planner to stay organized. I enjoy haveing animals apart of that rontine as well, while also understanding that every pet has unique needs and that some require more time and attention than others. I consistently have Wednesdays and Thursdays free all day. I'm also available for early morning visits and evening appointments, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has different needs, and I adjust my care to match their energy level, preferences, and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep water bowls full, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, companionship, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

She took him on to the trails, in her car on errands, and was flexible and accommodating to his roaming to various sleeping spots. We are visiting Maine for a few months and Stacy was a great find. Getting to her home in Raymond from Portland was a direct 30 minute trip.”
“Vicky and her family and friends were wonderful! Hudson had such fun and kept so busy. It was nice to get frequent updates and lots of pictures. We could see that he was very happy!”
“Alicia and Dave were great with Cosmo. He was very comfortable there with them and their dog, and they were great at giving him his medications. Always tough to find someone to watch these dogs with some medical issues, but they didn’t miss a beat. Loved getting the picture updates.”
“Kyle and Mariah were fantastic caretakers for Lobo for the past week! Got photo updates multiple times per day, and it's clear that he had a TON of engagement and activity - he put himself to bed when we got home 😂. Highly recommend!!”
“We were anxious about boarding our 7 mo old, but Kathleen and Dylan immediately made us feel comfortable with going away for the weekend. As a mischievous puppy with a lot of energy, it was great to see how they rose to the occasion with outdoor exercise and entertainment. Sending updates and pics kept us feeling like Homer was in good hands. The communication was great and everything went seamlessly. We would definitely use their services again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Kelly provided for my dog! From the moment we met, I could tell she had a calm and gentle energy—exactly what my dog needs, especially since he can be a little anxious sometimes. When I picked him up, he was totally relaxed and happily tired out, which is always a great sign that he felt comfortable and well cared for. Kelly is not only incredibly nice but also clearly very in tune with dogs and their needs. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Amy took great care of Poppy. She was super responsive and sent great updates throughout Poppy's stay. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking for dog boarding in the Portland area.”
“Kimberly did an amazing job boarding Fenway for 6 days! She took such great care of him and gave me awesome updates throughout his stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Fenway was clearly well loved and comfortable with her. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”
“Claudia and Jason are truly amazing dog sitters. They took excellent care of our large Aussiedoodle , who never likes to be separated from me. They took him on many varied walks and on one of them even got him a pup ice cream, had cuddle time, time for play and rest. He returned home calm, confident and tired. I fully trust Claudia and Jason and am so grateful to them.”
“Our dog, Maggie was happy with Abigail and Neil. They sent a few photos. She has a lot of energy and I'm sure she kept their dog, Molly busy. I appreciate them allowing Maggie to roam free in their home and on furniture.”
“We were on vacation with our puppy and needed a sitter. Kyle & Kaleigh were absolutely the best! Fritz had a terrific day hanging out with them at their house. He played all day with their dog, Izzy. They provided an update and even sent a video. I would highly recommend them! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
