Personalized care for your dog or cat - Salsbury Cove
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Salsbury Cove
Prices are estimates per night. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Your pets didn’t book the trip. They still expect room service. I provide calm, reliable care for cats, dogs, small animals, chickens, and the occasional household plant that has been left in my emotional custody. Most pets do best when their routine stays familiar, so I keep things simple: food, water, walks, litter, meds as instructed, photos, updates, and a steady human who shows up when she says she will. Many of my clients are away for a weekend, a work trip, a vacation, or a longer stay in Maine. Whether you live here year-round, are visiting for the season, or are here temporarily, I help keep pets settled while their people are away. I’m especially comfortable with cats, senior pets, shy pets, multi-pet homes, and animals who need patience before they decide I’m acceptable. HOUSE SITTING / OVERNIGHT CARE Overnight care is limited and best suited for planned trips, established clients, and pets who need a steady routine. I keep care selective so pets stay comfortable and the house stays sane. Before booking, please share your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, quirks, and anything they believe is legally theirs. DROP-IN VISITS Best for cats, dogs, small animals, chickens, and pets who prefer their own home and their own couch rules. Visits may include feeding, fresh water, litter, outdoor breaks, medications as instructed, basic tidy-up, and photo updates. Extended visits may be recommended for multiple pets, senior pets, or more involved routines. DOGGY DAY CARE Small-group day care is offered on a limited basis for dogs I already know. Care is calm, structured, supervised, and not a chaotic free-for-all. This is not a high-volume facility-style service. I plan my schedule intentionally to support well-defined care needs and clear timelines. This allows me to provide consistent, attentive care whether you’re traveling nearby or farther from home. Safety and consistency are always a priority. I follow established routines, respect household instructions, and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. Clear communication helps ensure a smooth experience while you’re away.
“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”
“Debbie was fantastic! We were very worried dog parents, leaving two older (7 and 9) bigger breeds, but also our 6-month giant breed, who’s in training as a livestock guardian dog. Debbie’s place is truly a spa for doggos, thoughtfully designed and she graciously allowed me to visit before booking. We felt confident leaving our babies in her protection, and they clearly had a great time! (Týr wants a Linda at our farm!). We will definitely refer friends who visit and we will revisit!! Thank you!!”
“Second time booking Kirk, and everything was just as great this time around! Kirk watched my dog for nine nights over the holidays while I was out of town. I got picture/video updates every day, and he continued to make my shy/anxious guy feel comfortable and happy. He even took him out to the large open area near his place where he could run around and have fun off leash. Super appreciative of Kirk and highly recommend!”
“Polly was great with our2 dogs. She’s definitely a “dog person.” Knowledgeable and compassionate. Our dogs didn’t seem to notice when we left they were happily playing with her two friendly, well behaved dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Our dogs loved her. And they were pretty well worn out when we got back to our cabin and they slept all night.”
“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. 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!”
“Karen was amazing! Sent plenty of updates, was quick to respond to any of my communications, and was great with Alvin. He had a great time at her place, and came home happy and tired.”
About: Hello! I'm Ashley. I am 35 years old. I am from Stuart, FL. I am working in Bar Harbor for the summer and have recently decided to stay through winter until April 2026. I have always been an animal lover and if I could afford a farm and have every type of animal in it... I would. I have owned, dogs, fish, and birds. I have had dogs most of my life. I had a Jack Russell who lived to be 11 years old named Romeo...He was a ball of energy, he had eye problems and needed drops daily. I also had a Rat Terrier named Oliver, we bought him at a year old. He lived to be 14 years old. Most recently my sister currently has a mini golden doodle, who is 4 years old. I loved taking my dogs on the trails in the parks. If I didn’t travel so much, I would love a dog of my own. I work seasonal contract jobs outside the National parks, mainly in the summer season. I go walking everyday & I would love to bring your pup with me. I am renting an apartment but I also work downstairs from it so I can check on them and take them out throughout the day
“My Australian Shepherd, Remi, had a great time with Melissa. I know Remi was well cared for and incorporated into their family activities including walks and hikes. I know Remi will be excited to return for another visit.”
“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Kirk was an awesome pet-sitter. He was on-time and attentive to our two cats, and was diligent in providing updates and photos for each visit. We'd definitely book with him again.”
“Julia took very well care of our cats! This was our first time using the Rover app, and it can be difficult welcoming a stranger into your home. Julia was very welcoming and kind that it made us comfortable. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks and she was responsive and detailed in her visits. We will definitely use Julia in the future for any cat sitting needs!”
“Phenomenal experience with Charlotte!!! My puppos had the best day with her visits. Having the updates and photos made me so happy. She was attentive and truly went above and beyond with the care of my dogs. Thrilled to have connected with her and cannot wait to use her again!! 🥰 Thank you again for going above and beyond!”
About: I’ve had a lot of personal experience caring for cats over the years. Growing up, many of my friends and family had cats, so I was constantly around them and helping take care of them. Through that, I’ve learned how cats behave, how to read their moods, and how they prefer to be treated. I’m very comfortable giving them the patience, space, and attention they need to feel safe and happy.
“Love coming home to relaxed and happy cats! This was our second time hiring Maggie and once again she was communicative, timely, and thoughtful about their needs. Thank you Maggie!”
“Kelly is wonderful! She was super easy to communicate with to discuss my cat’s needs. Although my plans changed, I have zero doubt that my cat would have been in excellent hands while I was away. For future travel I definitely hope to use Kelly!”
“Jill is wonderful - very kind and compassionate, in addition to being incredibly organized and responsive! She takes amazing care of my 4 (very different personalities!) cats. I feel so comfortable leaving them in her care and it is an amazing peace of mind to know they are in safe and loving hands when I'm away. Jill is the best!”
“Chuck was a great cat sitter. He scheduled a stop by the day before I left so I could show him where everything would be, he was very nice and professional about the interaction. During my vacation he sent me daily updates and photos of my pet. He treated them great and I wouldn't hesitate to schedule with him again if I need a cat sitter.”
About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm from Northern California and moved to Maine last year. Growing up we always had dogs (and sometimes cats), so I learned to take care of pets from a young age. I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet-sitting and dog-walking. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies! I'm currently only working through Rover, so my schedule is very flexible right now! I'm available for drop-ins, all-day stays and overnights, as well as for long-term pet-sitting in your home. I love making every animal feel cared for - from playing with them, going on long walks outside, providing pets and cuddles, giving them occasional treats, etc. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also love to send little text and video updates, so you can check in on them while you're away. I've even done FaceTimes with pets and their owners!
About: My name is Tori Six and I am 31 years old. I’m currently living in Milford, but willing to travel to surrounding greater Bangor areas. I have many years of experience with all animals. 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. I have knowledge of taking care of animals with medical needs from assisting with walking, changing, medications, etc. could do some minor grooming but not certified. I am very compassionate with animals and will treat them like my own family. I hope to be booking with you!

“I cannot say it enough, Kirk was a life saver for my family and I. I will forever be grateful for Kirk being able to accommodate our dog last minute so as to not negatively impact our ski trip. You are simply amazing Kirk!! We most definitely will choose you any time we're in town and need doggy day care! Thank you so very very much!!”
“Polly is a fantastic person and she exudes love for dogs. Our border collie felt instantly at home with her and her dogs Dexter and Blondie. We give her the Nobel Prize and our thanks 🙏”
“Karen is a natural with animals. Especially dogs... especially our dogs! The day-long stay went without a hitch, her rural home is close to Mount Desert Island and made it possible for us to make it to not-so-pet-friendly events there. Highly recommend.”
About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request has been from folks on vacation who need someone to hang out with their pets at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. Sometimes locals have important meetings or long hours out of town obligations and their pets need company. Book dog sitting/pet sitting for the day for this service! Just need a check in for food/water/potty break? Book a walk or check in! For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. Going into a second summer of pet care for the lovely pet families of MDI and Downeast Region! Taking a sabbatical from my career job while my husband and I shift our focus to starting a family. My schedule is open and a Our home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence. Guest pets enjoy supervised play time and leashed walks on our 100 acres and trails. Inside our home guest pets get full roam to hang, unlimited toys, approved treats and total pampering. Pups hang with me all day for a low stress, relaxing stay! Pet sitting at your home is welcome too with the same care and attention!
“Min was able to accommodate our ever change work schedules to watch our dog. She was highly communicative and was able to help get our dog settled in during her stay. Our dog came home tired and happy. We’d definitely recommend Min and will reach out in the future for dog care!”
“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.”

“Charlotte is amazing. She took care of our two dogs over our wedding weekend and made everything so seamless. Charlotte was so accommodating to make sure the dogs had great walks, were fed, and happy, and kept us updated along the way. She understood how busy we were and jumped right in to make our lives easier and allow us to focus on all of the wedding events. I can’t recommend Charlotte enough.”
“Kirk was fantastic to work with all around! He accommodated my short-notice request and took time to meet me and my dog ahead of time, which I greatly appreciated since it was my first booking with him. He walked the dog for longer than anticipated and was patient when the dog was hesitant to leave the house at first, and he took the time to clean him up a bit since it was a rainy day. I highly recommend Kirk’s services!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets. I’ve handled a variety of situations, from overnight stays to week-long care, and everything in between, and it’s always gone really well. I’m confident in my ability to take great care of your pets and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m really looking forward to meeting them! I’m a part-time nursing student this summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and only have class two days a week. Outside of school, I love being active, going to the beach, and spending time outside with friends. That also means I have plenty of time and energy to give your pets the attention and care they need! I’ll be living in USM housing this summer, so I’m not able to have pets stay with me. However, I’m more than happy to come to you and stay in your home if needed. I’m very flexible and comfortable doing overnight stays to make sure your pets are well cared for in their own environment!
“Kelly did a great job walking and hanging out with Milo! She was very prompt, took special interest in what Milo liked to do, and reached out with questions during their stay together. I highly recommend!”

“Megan was the best! She accepted a few walks for our dog fairly last minute, was very responsive and reliable! Griz absolutely loved her and it seems like had a great time together :) she took him on long walks, sent lots of pictures and communicated throughout! Highly recommend!! Thanks Megan!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was old enough to walk, from horses to dogs and cats. I love animals and am very responsible. I am currently enrolled in college, so any house sitting must be pretty close to school or apartment in the bangor area. Otherwise I am pretty flexible and willing to work with you as long as you are willing to work with me:) Since I am enrolled in college, I cannot pet-sit in my own home. But I love animals and I believe they are more comfortable in the comfort of their own home and I am very tidy and will pick up after myself and your pet, if need be.
“Communicative and flexible with some last minute changes. Arrived for a first time walk just as I was getting home from an unexpectedly long work day so the dog was bonkers. Chloe met the chaos with calm and professionalism, instantly made friends with the dog and the dog had a great time. Will definitely be hiring again”
