“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Justin was fantastic! He was able to take my pup on short notice and did an amazing job. My dog had 5 different daily medications and Justin handled it with amazing care and communication. Highly recommend Justin for your next Rover!”
“Stout enjoyed his visit with Simon. He was flexible about us changing our plans too. He was able to add extra dates which helped us enormously. Thank you!!”
“Christine was a lovely host for Bode’s week of summer camp. She was quick to reply, lovely to speak with, but most importantly seemed to really care about Bode’s wellbeing and happiness. She has a huge fenced in yard that he had free reign to, and a lovely in ground pool. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Emily and Kieran were so great with Chewy! I met with them and Leon leading up to the booking which was great so that our dogs met ahead of time. They sent periodic updates which was awesome and put me at ease. It was a wonderful first experience using Rover.”
“Marna did a fantastic job with our two senior chihuahuas. It was evident that they were happy and well cared for while they stayed with her. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone and would most definitely rebook in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sri could not have cared for Murphy better! She sent us daily updates with photos and videos. They went on walks and played daily and it was evident that Sri loved Murphy as her own. We feel so lucky and greatly appreciate Sri!”
“Kelly was a great sitter for my dog, was very caring and patient and made him feel at home. He likes a lot of attention and she was great with him and sent daily updates. I highly recommend Kelly!”
“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!”
“Hank and his mom Rachel were such a blast for our dog Bode to stay with. He had a great week of playtime, couch time, and what looked like hours of dog parkour. We will absolutely be sending Bode back.”
“After our meet & greet, Shorty was so happy to go back to Vicky & Bobby's, he couldn't wait to get out of the car. They have a great house & awesome back yard perfect for dogs. Their dogs Magic & Brooklyn were great with Shorty, & he sometimes has problems with new dogs. Vicky sent me great pics every & really put my mind at ease, seeing Shorty livin the doggy life. Vicky even brought Shorty to work with her at the pet hospital where she works & I know he loved that. Travis, Bobby's brother was also really great & Shorty warmed up to him right away. Shorty is used to sleeping on the bed & they allowed that, and also figured out something yummy for him to eat when he wouldn't. I highly endorse Vicky & Bobby, & Shorty's looking forward to his next vacay!”
“Molly took incredible care of our senior dog for 6 nights and 7 days. She communicated thoroughly, sent pictures, and loved on our dog like she was one of her own. Thanks so much Molly!”
About: I enjoy being outdoors and exercising, so adding a dog makes it that much better! My favorite activity is finding new parks in Portland, so adding your pet is a perk! Exercise and care are the most important aspects of pet care. I am currently not able to have my own dog, so this is an excellent outlet for me to destress and make some money. Also, prior to college, I owned a dog for 7 years and still dog-sit occasionally for friends. Housesitting is one of my favorite ways to hang with your pets. I also love drop-ins and regular walks! I am flexible and available. Dog or cat, I already love your pets! I work downtown and often work from home. Regardless of my daily location, this gives me opportunities to get out throughout my work day and after while also making some money. I am always happy to provide most requested details from pet parents. I will always be attentive to your requests as well as the needs of your pets.

“Sara was so good and an obvious natural animal lover when she met Harvey! She gave us detailed updates & brought us a lot of peace & mind while we were away. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Hanna was great! I could tell from the pictures Odo loved her. I felt much better about leaving for the week. She took care of some accidents and kept me well informed. Thank you so much!”
“Lauren stopped by our apartment twice a day to feed our 13 year old cat for a little over a week while we were away. We especially appreciated how she went above and beyond by making extra trips in the morning to split up our cat’s feeding schedule to help accommodate her sensitive stomach. Her daily check ins and quick communications were so appreciated and helped us feel way more at ease.”
“Paige was fantastic. Always there on time, tons of pics and our cats were very happy and healthy when we got home. I would definitely use Paige again.”

“Madeleine took excellent care of my cats while I was away! She sent pictures daily and gave updates with each visit. I will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Sera was more than we could ask for! I was apprehensive leaving our cat for two weeks, but right away Sera made us feel very secure and made sure our cat felt very loved. The daily updates and photos were perfect and we could tell our cat loved her so much we started to feel jealous 😂😂😂 Highly highly recommend!! Surely our Rusie can’t wait for us to take another vacation!”
“Jesika was so great, so helpful and flexible and reassuring! This was our first time leaving our cat all alone and she went above and beyond to make sure the kitty was ok!”

“We’ve hired Nishat several times to take care of our cats. She has been rock solid and reliable, and ensures that our babies our taken care of, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. We will continue to hire her at every opportunity”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“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 had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Willow with Alma! She was very communicative before and during the booking which always makes the Rover process feel easier and more reassuring. Alma’s dog, Birdy, is super sweet as well. Willow seemed comfortable right away and according to Alma settled in more as the day went on. Great yard, deck for doggie lounging and overall set up from the house (super easy to see the yard from most parts of the downstairs). We will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for my whole life! I have experience with dogs of many sizes and breeds, cats, cows, and chickens. Walking dogs is one of my favorite things to do. I have worked for a dog walking company for the past 3 years. Also, I have worked on multiple farms where I’ve cared for farm animals and dogs/cats. I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I’m working a remote part-time job which leaves me with plenty of time to walk dogs throughout the day and in the evening. Additionally, I have a very flexible schedule on the weekends. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will make sure to follow whatever schedule you have for them. I will take them out to play often and give them lots of love.
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of family and friends since I was in my teens, but more extensively in college and since. For 3 years I boarded and sat for three different family friends. I’ve personally helped raise 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve even helped herd sheep and tamed alpacas! I work nearly full-time as a server at a restaurant, so Wednesday to Saturday night I’m unavailable for somewhere between 6-9 hours on those days. When I have my off days I’m usually at home or out for a walk. I’m usually efficient with my errands and have extensive free time on off days. My apartment is a one bedroom, so if I’m not playing around the apartment with the pet, I’d want to bring them on a walk or to the park. I have a very comfortable bedroom conducive to nap time, and I live in the heart of Old Port. Whenever I am with pets in my house I am always looking to set up a cozy space for them to relax with blankets, pillows, their favorite toys. I try to make them feel like a proper guest in my home like anyone else. My apartment is always very quiet despite being downtown, but I would hope to find activities we could do in and around Portland to help keep them active and entertained.
“Annie was fantastic! Winnie is not the easiest of dogs and Annie was gentle and patient with her. She found ways around things that Winnie doesn't enjoy, like being picked up, which is necessary because she can't do stairs.”
About: 35 years of experience caring for dogs, puppies, kittens & cats. I’m good with anxious dogs & scaredy cats. I have a flexible schedule, let me know how I can help. I am currently doing Rover full-time. For many years i have lived in homes with pets and helped care for them. Currently living in a home with 1 cat, 1 dog, and 12 chickens. We also do doggy day care and do boarding- so we keep pretty busy. I always walk dogs on their leashes. I make sure to keep medications and other harmful things locked away. We have a fenced in yard, but i’m always out there with them. I try to take as good care for your animals as if they were my own.
About: Caring, energetic, dog lover available for walks, general care and companionship either at owners home or at my place with a fenced-in yard. The dog pictured is my son’s who I take care of from time to time but is not in the house when I dog sit. I use Rover when I need support for him. I have a flexible schedule when I’m in town but I travel once a month for a few days. I’m seeking arrangements that are aligned. I’d be happy to provide walks, drop in to the dog’s home to care for them or care for the dog for a half day or longer in my home. I have a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve cared for dogs while their families are away, providing lots of attention, regular walks, and dependable care. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being are always my top priority. I’m available most days and prefer to schedule in advance when possible. However, I can often accommodate same-day requests and strive to provide prompt, reliable service. Pets are cared for with close attention to detail and provided comfortable spaces to relax. After each stay, everything is thoroughly cleaned to ensure a fresh, safe environment for every dog.
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.
About: Hi my name is Maria and I am an avid animal lover. I have an 80 pound lab right now, and have had several well loved cats in the past. I enjoy walking pets, giving them lots of cuddles and treats for good behavior, and lots of pets! I am a school nurse by trade, so I am available during the week after 3pm. I am also available most holidays, weekends, and during summer vacation. I have selected a radius small enough so that I can guarantee I will have enough time to spend some quality time with your animal. I will happily come to your house and spend quality time with your animal, whether that means lots of belly rubs, treats, a walk, or just some cuddles. I do have a house in South Portland with an enclosed, fenced in yard and a sweet, older yellow lab to keep company... let's get to know each other and see if we are a good fit!
“I found James as a last minute dog-sitter when my original one cancelled on me. Ellie seems like she had a good time with all the play and attention that she could get. I would definitely recommend James to anyone looking for someone look after their fur babies 😄”
“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted dog at someone else's home, and we felt anxious about it, of course. But, all of that anxiousness melted away after meeting Joshua and Ionna! Super nice folks, with very calm demeanors. Our sweet new pup, Olive, can be timid around new people and dogs, and they were very mindful of that, and very understanding. Their two pups, Charlie and Emma, are lovely, happy goofballs! We had a great experience with our Miss Olive staying there, and we plan to continue requesting doggie daycare with them whenever needed!”

“Chelsea has been walking our puppy daily for the last few months. She is always reliable, great with communication and we know she is giving our dog amazing care! We feel lucky to have found Chelsea!”
“Harrison is great with our pup Lola. He walks her every week and has house sat for us on several occasions. We've always come back to a clean house and happy dog. Harrison great with communication and keeps us updated with photos and short texts. We and our pup are very happy to have met Harrison!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs at all stages of life. My experience ranges from young pets to senior care. It’s been an honor. I work part-time from home and have a flexible schedule. I live in close proximity to multiple Portland Trails and our home fronts the Fore River and boarders a sanctuary. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Yellow Lab named Uma, who lives for her next play date. She is respectful of senior dogs and puppies too. There’s lots of room to run around and play.
“Meagan is awesome! She was so excited to meet Knox the first time and went above and beyond with him on their walks! We really appreciated the pictures and notes from their time together. Meagan also shows up promptly and left me with a tired and happy puppy! Highly recommend!”
“Katey has been so great with Enzo. She gained his trust almost immediately and, in all the pictures you can really tell he’s really at ease with him. She’s also a great communicator and responds promptly. I only wish I’d found her sooner!”
“I had an amazing experience with Natalia watching my dog, Nutella! She was incredibly reliable, even braving a snowstorm to be prompt for her walks. My mom, who was staying at my place, mentioned that Nutella was always excited to see Natalia every time she arrived for a walk, which says a lot about how great their connection was. It was clear that Natalia truly cared for Nutella’s well-being and kept me updated with everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog sitter!”
“Anna is a friendly and capable dog lover. She was prompt and resourceful in getting my dog to walk, and she followed the cues he gave her. She sent lots of photos and wrote a thorough description of activities. I will definitely ask her to care for my dog again.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life—from Cavapoos to Corgis to Wheaten Terriors to Doodles, to Boxers! I’ve also had the pleasure of having a Goldendoodle of my own as well! My sweet pup was in an accident and required lots of specific care such as wound care and medication administration for many months. I am a very patient and dedicated pet sitter and will treat your pet like my own. I’ll keep them safe, make sure they get the attention they need, and assure that you get the updates you crave while away from your bestie. I absolutely love animals and I also know how challenging it can be to have peace of mind while maintaining your life responsibilities outside of your furry friends—I hope to have the opportunity to take that stress off of your plate! I’m currently in grad school for Speech Language Pathology (classes are online until January 2027) and work per diem at the hospital. I have two shifts per week serving at a restaurant in Portland as well, they are typically 6-8 hour shifts so if booked for an overnight, there may be a day or two that I am away for that amount of time! Otherwise, my schedule is super flexible and perfect for that mid day potty and play break! Safety is first! You tell me how you like things to go in your home and what makes your pet the most comfortable and I’ll make sure it happens! Let me know if your pet has any anxieties in public and I’ll keep in mind ways to keep them happy and calm on walkies!
“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.”
“Mae is fantastic! She’s amazing with my 80 pound shepherd and little golden doodle. She was open to whatever routine was best for my dogs with ball playing and walks, and is a positive, helpful part of our daily routine. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 2 cats of my own and also spent some time in college as a puppy co-raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation, which means I have some experience training dogs to have fantastic house manners! I believe in positive reinforcement training and in the importance of attunement to animals’ needs and unique personalities! I enjoy taking long walks with dogs (even in the cold!) and would be happy to do drop-ins and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I’ve always had cats and dogs in my life, and I really believe they are such special parts of our lives. I have flexibility during the morning and early afternoon, as well as on weekends! I’m an ideal candidate for those needing drop-ins or midday walks. I am dedicated to caring for your pet(s) as gently and thoroughly as possible! I know I’d want to leave my cats in the best hands possible, so I want to provide that peace of mind to others.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always considered pets part of the family. I grew up with dogs and currently spend lots of time with our family’s high-energy Blue Heeler mix, who keeps me active and reminds me how much enrichment, exercise, and attention dogs need to thrive. I’m also a lifelong cat lover. My 19-year-old cat recently passed away after many years together, and during his final years I provided extensive care, including managing daily medications and supporting him through several medical needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently volunteer walking dogs at the Animal Welfare Society, where I love getting to know dogs with all different personalities and energy levels. I especially enjoy working with active breeds who need extra exercise, mental stimulation, and adventure. If you have a high-energy dog who loves walks, exploring, or getting outside, I’d love to help! I’m happy to provide everything from neighborhood walks and drop-in visits to longer adventures like day hikes for dogs who are ready for a little more activity. I work full-time, so my availability is focused around evenings, weekends, holidays, and scheduled visits. I am available for overnight stays in your home, and I’m happy to provide cat sitting, drop-in visits, and care for pets who benefit from a little extra attention while you’re away. For dogs, I offer walks and visits during my available times, with a special love for active dogs who need exercise and enrichment. Weekends and holidays are great opportunities for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and extra quality time. I’m committed to providing dependable, thoughtful care that fits your pet’s routine and helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from their family. I will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and their preferred ways of receiving attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I understand that maintaining their familiar environment and routine is often the most comforting option. I will treat your home with respect and provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment and tailor their experience to their individual personality. Cats will have a quiet space to settle in and, depending on their comfort level and my availability, can have supervised access to explore and interact. When I’m away, I prioritize safety by providing a secure, comfortable area where they can relax.
About: I have pet sat for neighbors, friends and family for six years where I was responsible for walking and feeding their animals. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have been walking dogs since I was 10. I am an Elementary School Teacher so I am looking for something part time or full time for the summer months. I am also looking to continue my services when the school year starts in September. I currently have two cats of my own who get along very well with other animals. My parents dog stays with me as well on some weekends. I have a large park near my apartment and my parents dog really enjoys running around there. I am an elementary school teacher, so I will be available mostly full time during the summer months and then I will transition into a part time schedule when school starts back up in the fall. I have two cats of my own, so your pet will have fur friends to play with when/ if they stay at my home. Right next to my home I have a large park that residents take their pets to. I would also love to take your pet to a nearby dog park, that way they can socialize in a safe space!

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.

About: I’ve grown up in the outdoors and with a love of taking care of animals. I have always been relied on as someone who can be called on to help take care of a furry friend. While I can’t get a dog of my own right now, I love having animals around to spend time with and join me on my day to day experiences and outdoor adventures. Currently working hybrid remote from home that allows me lots of freedom in my schedule. Depending on the animal, I would move my work around their needs. I can offer frequent walks and check-ins. When working remotely, they will be with me at all times. When in office, there may be times that they will be alone for up to 4 hours. Depending on the animals/owners needs I can be flexible to training schedules if that is something they would like support with.
About: I’ve taken care of small, medium, and large dogs including low and high energy breeds. I grew up with labs and border collies, and have an understanding for providing love and care for dogs along with exercise and discipline. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own, and am adaptable to any specific needs your dog may have. I am a fire door inspector and repairman which takes up my week days, but guarantees my availability every Saturday and Sunday to provide fulltime care for pets. I live in an 800 sq/ft apartment with my cat Max that has a back porch and yard. It is able to accommodate 2 medium/small dogs or 1 large dog. My cat has lived with a large variety of dogs throughout her life and is calm and friendly towards them. Each dog under my care is treated with love and my absolute attention. Their Saftey and discipline will be ensured with positive reinforcement only. I am also willing and ready to travel to any clients home to care for your pets where they will be most comfortable.
“Lindsay was great! We were traveling to Portland from out of town and she was very clear and prompt with communication to arrange plans. The girls had a relaxing evening with Lindsay.”
“My dog Molly had such a great time spending the week with Lucy and Ike! Throughout the process they showed they cared very much for my furball by sending updates on how she was doing and I immediately felt like the pup was in safe hands when I met them.”
