“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”
“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!”
“My 1 year old puppy has had multiple stays with Kseniia, and each time has been fantastic! Her and her husband consistently provide top-notch care and attention to my little guy. Kseniia also provides regular updates and photos, which helps me feel connected while away. It is clear that they treat my dog like their own, showering him with love and attention. I highly recommend Kseniia to anyone in need of reliable and loving pet care! I always feel confident leaving my dog in their hands, knowing he's in a loving and safe environment.”
“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!”
“Janice was wonderful. She accommodated us when we needed to make changes to our booking. She sent pictures and let us know how Sophia was doing. Sophia took to Janice immediately. She was exceptional in every way. We highly recommend her services.”
“Jaclyn is awesome! We were visiting Maine for a few days and found a sitter close to where we were staying. It was nice to have peace of mind that our dog, Milo, was being well taken care of and having just as much fun on vacation as us. Highly recommend!! I will definitely be checking if Jaclyn is available next year when we return to Maine.”
“We used Carmen for the first time leaving our dog Griffey for a week for the very first time. Carmen was so attentive in providing updates and great pictures. Griffey loved the time he spent with her family and we appreciate her so much!!!”
“Kelly was SO AMAZING with Finny! He can be a little anxious and she was so kind to meet up before hand so he could feel more comfortable! She sent us so many pictures and updates and Finn had the best time- we will be booking again for sure!!! 5 paws!!!”
“What can I say that gives this couple the credit they deserve. Amazing. Pepe didn't even want to come home. He was clearly well cared for, evident from the daily pictures and comments. I truly believe he had a much better time with Trisha than if he had stayed home. Will book again, for sure. Thanks so much!”
“Laney was perfect for us and our dog! She was extremely responsive as we set up our date for Happy's two-day stay, and we enjoyed meeting with her by video beforehand. She was so welcoming to Happy -- and us -- and she clearly loves being with dogs and knows how to put everyone at ease. She did a great job of introducing Happy to her two lovely dogs and to her human family. We were confident that Happy would enjoy herself at Laney's, and she did! We're looking forward to returning to southern Maine soon so Happy can stay with her again!”
“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”
“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!”
“This is the first time we used the services of Jeanne Y. As dog sitter for our dog Crosby, an almost three year old active mixed breed (lab/boxer). We were very pleased with the overall e perience and would not hesitate to use Jeanne again or to recommend her services to our pet-owner friends. I really appreciated the opportunity to meet Jeanne prior to Crosby's stay. I also appreciated the pictures Jeanne shared with us of Crosby's stay. Crosby had to the opportunity to run in the large enclosed ring by Jeanne's barn. According to Jeanne, Crosby enjoyed socializing with other dogs staying on the farm over Christmas. The pictures JeNne shared with us showed this as well. We also appreciated Jeanne's flexibility in when we could drop off and pick up Crosby. Our experience with other kennels is that they are not often as flexible. ”
“Austin and Francis were excellent hosts! Otto had such a lovely stay. We received many updates and saw how much fun he was having. We would love for Otto to stay again. Thank you, Austin and Francis!”

“Abigail was so great with moose! She worked through a snafu with our keys seamlessly and cared for moose so well. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our boy while we were gone for an evening. ❤️”
“Casey continues to be the best! We appreciate how much she has bonded with our kitty and cares about his wellbeing. It makes it so much easier to leave town knowing she’s there for him!”

“I booked Connie to drop in and take care of my cats while my I was gone for the holidays and she was fantastic! Each day she sent me photos and updates that always give me peace of mind. You can tell Connie truly loves animals and as soon as she met my cats I knew she would take care of them as her own, and she did just that!”
“So glad to have booked with Eva! She put me to ease with her experience and quickly understanding my cat's needs (and knowing when he didn't want attention anymore). She took pictures and kept me posted while we were away. I'll be booking with Eva again!”
“Marlena did an incredible job watching our cat while we were away. She was very attentive and made sure to send pics/updates every day. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave!!”
“Jillian was a great communicator giving me all the info about my cats while I was away. It made me feel that they were in the best care possible. Would book with her again and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Nikki is always great and sends awesome photos! My cats are always in a great mood after our trips and spending time with Nikki. We will always book our drop in visits with her as long as she is available.”
“I’m very thankful for Julie! She took the time to come to my home ahead of time to meet the kitties and practice administering their oral medication. She was prompt and consistent with her care and I could tell my cats had less separation anxiety than usual. Thank you Julie!”
“Lori was great. She was very communicative with us and sent pictures. And understanding of our cat who was shy. I definitely would hire Lori again to watch our cat thank you, Lori!”
About: Having four cats at home myself as well as volunteering for an all-cat shelter, I still can’t seem to get enough of them! I pride myself in my ability to understand cat behavior, and have a deep interest in their enrichment needs, grooming, and nutrition. Additionally, my experience handling fractious and critically ill cats during my time as a vet tech assistant at an overnight emergency clinic, equipped me to navigate difficult feline behavior, medication administration, as well as identify signs of distress and sickness, which can be difficult to identify in cats.
“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with a Maine Coon and currently have 2 cats of my own. I got my first cat at 15 that I have been the sole caregiver of since then. She’s 11 now and has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well as senior care. I got my second cat in 2020 as a rescue when he was still a kitten. He’s been leash trained, sits on command, and is the biggest cuddle bug. From young to old I have experience with all sorts of cats.
“Cindy did a great job taking care of our cat. After meeting Cindy, I knew our kitty would be in good hands. Cindy asked appropriate questions and was genuinely interested in how to best meet the individual needs of our pet. Cindy sent a bunch of photos with each visit; she was very thorough and even cleaned up the litter box area as well as the cat dishes. Would definitely book her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Saco
“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.”
“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!”
“Janice is super sweet, and very attentive to all of my pups needs. She pays attention to detail, wants to be consistent with expectations, and really cares for dogs. She even washed out his puzzle feeding bowl! I will definitely contact Janice in the future for care.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Fantastic experience from start to finish. I was updated multiple times throughout the day and my dog was exhausted when she got home. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
“Seth and his family were so welcoming to Fiona! They were accommodating and attentive but also laid back and flexible! Fiona had such a good day she immediately fell asleep when we got in the care. Seth was easy to communicate with and was so easy to meet. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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!!”

“Theodora took Jerry’s walk request at the last minute! I am super grateful for her help. She walked Jerry and was super patient with his shyness. I am so glad to have had her help! Thanks again!”
“Jillian related to our little pug from the first visit. Often it's not easy to get our pug to walk, but Jillian takes her as she is and gets her to do her business. Minnie is in good hands when she's with Jillian. Thank you, Jillian!”
About: I adore animals! I have been around animals my entire life and have a dog & a cat of my own!

Whether it’s for a potty break, walk, meals, or overnight care I would be happy to help!
About: Hi! I’m Khaila, I provide warm, reliable care with a focus on making every pup feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. I live in a cozy, dog-friendly home near the coast and love exploring local trails and parks. My Frenchie, Stuart, is a good boy who loves making new friends. I understand how important your dog is to your family, and when they’re with me, they’re part of mine too. 💛 I work from home most days and I perform better with a dog in my lap or at my feet ☺️ We’ll take breaks, walks, play at the local dog park, play at the beach, or hike local trails each day. When I’m visiting your home for care while you’re away, my focus is on playtime, walks, or just getting that energy out while ensuring your pets have all that they need. When they’re with my family, they’ll play hard, relax hard, and wag harder.
About: My super strength as a pet caregiver, is my interest in getting to know an animal's personality and working mindfully and respectfully with their nature. I prioritize safety, trust and attention. I've taught young children and raised kittens, puppies and chickens over the last twenty years. As a lover of Great Pyrenees (having raised three) and cats, I have great respect for the subtle and obvious efforts our animals use to communicate with us. I'm experienced with all ages. Senior pets are very dear to me. I've had the honor to provide comforting care for my own animals and provide tender touch, medications, dietary support, and a calm presence through their final months. I also love training and nurturing puppies. I am available to provide individualized day and overnight care for your pet(s) and plants. Contact me to discuss your short-term or longterm needs. I am especially interested in helping people feel at ease during holidays and vacations by providing qualified, experienced multi-day pet care. Mindfulness, kindness, and experience guide my services. I'm happy to travel to care for pets in the comfort of their home or mine! My place was designed for Great Pyrenees. I have a large, protective deck and fenced yard for supervised off-leash, outdoor time.
About: I recently adopted a Cockapoo named Lucy. She is a total sweetheart and loves people and other dogs. I previously owned my own Boxer, Ava, for 9 years. She passed away 2 years ago and so I started working for Rover to share my love, compassion and support to dog owners seeking companionship and enrichment activity for their dog. I am available to watch your dog during the week or weekends. Need a break from your dog so you can enjoy “me” time or have a nice weekend? Then reach out and contact me! I am a huge animal lover and therefore I am available to assist with daily activities (feeding, medications, potty time) and enrichment (walk & play time) including overnight boarding. I am a home owner that provides a 'cozy' and healthy environment. I have a large backyard and live in a nice area in Kennebunkport. I will always have your dog on a long leash to allow him/her to roam safely with me tagging along. I am someone who is very structured and believe that providing consistency & structure to a dog is very important. I do not believe in striking or hitting any animal no matter the reason. I will treat your dog with care like it is my own.
“Nicole has been wonderful with my 5mo puppy! She has a very warm, kind presence, and has been so accommodating and flexible with my difficult schedule. I really appreciate that she puts thought into rotating locations so my pup is getting plenty of mental stimulation. I can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
About: I grew up with ferrets and guinea pigs, and currently have a dog! I've been pet-sitting for years, and have cat-sit for multiple families in my neighborhood. 🐈❤️ I'm currently working in Maine for the summer! I typically work 10-3 pm M-F, but am free most evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out with any questions:) I am not currently offering in-home care, but I'm willing to come to yours! My main experience is with cats: providing them with wet and dry food, cleaning their litterbox, changing out their water, and playing with them. I have also dog-sit for dogs in my own home, with the main responsibilities being feeding them and bringing them on walks. However, I am flexible in terms of responsibilities and what works best for you and your pet. 🐾
“Connie was awesome with Flyer and great at communicating with me! She was more than willing to come by before the time I needed her in order to meet Flyer and give him a short walk so that he could become comfortable with her. I will definitely be reaching out to her first the next time I need someone to watch my dog!”

“Austin and Francis were excellent hosts! Otto had such a lovely stay. We received many updates and saw how much fun he was having. We would love for Otto to stay again. Thank you, Austin and Francis!”
“Anne is the best! She very obviously cares a lot about all dogs, but especially the ones in her care. She sent me lots of updates, photos, and videos - possibly more than she normally might because this was the first time I’d ever been apart from my dog and was a little nervous! She asked me great questions and was very considerate; for example asking first if it would be ok to give my dog a certain treat. She’s very mindful of animal interaction and knows each dog and situation are different. This was my first Rover experience and I hope they’re all as good as this was. Thank you Anne!”
“Christina was so great with our dog! Quick Responses leading up to the time she had our dog and She sent us many updates though out the time she had our dog. She made sure to keep her busy with many adventures while we were away. We are excited to have our pup stay with Christina again when we are away!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Sridevi truly loves animals and treats them like part of her own family. Her home is warm, clean, and perfectly set up for dogs to feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Baxter came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for- honestly I think he had a little vacation of his own. I would absolutely recommend Sri to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
“Nicholas replied quickly, sent great pics and made our pup feel at home for his weekend out. Chris "went the extra mile" in several ways to ensure our pup had tons of fun! We will for sure use him again when in the area”
