“Alma took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! He got lots of exercise and had so much fun playing with Birdie. Alma had a great setup at home and her communication was top notch.”
“Elisabeth makes Louise feel so welcome and at home. Louise is so excited to get out of the car there and I am so at ease knowing she is so well cared for. Highly highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Christine is a new favorite dogsitter! I left one of my dogs with her and her canine crew for five days—she came home happy, healthy, and tired after romping around the big fenced yard, dipping in the pool, and snoozing on the couch. Worry-free dogsitting from a true dog lover. Thanks, Christine!”
“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!”
“Viva once again provided a second home for our sweet boy. He trusts her implicitly as do we. She’s super conscientious about making sure he’s comfortable, active and well loved. And she always sends us the best photo updates!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Victoria and Brent were simply the best! They are both kind and compassionate and wanted to be sure both my pup and I were comfortable and happy. Goal achieved! They made us both feel very welcome in their home and handled my nervous pup and the separation anxiety like pros. Lots of photo updates to assure me all was well. They also adjusted their routine to accommodate his exercise needs. We’ll definitely use them again!”
“Kylie & John watched my dog Kate for two weeks and I could tell by the photos and text updates that she was relaxed and comfortable in their home. They are very easy going and caring; real dog lovers who understand dog behavior. When I picked up Kate, she was calm and seemingly happy. I was too, knowing that she was in the best of care while I was away. Thank you Kylie and John! Kate hopes to stay with you again.”
“Vicky was the best I could’ve hoped for. My dog was excited arriving into her home, and that’s not like her, she’s normally pretty nervous. Daphne was thrilled, and the photos and videos that followed showed that she was living the good life! Chillaxing and running=her happy life. Vicky lives in an amazing spot with trails in the forest that are dog heaven, I can only assume!!!”
“Basje seemed happy and spoiled at Jules’ home, from beach walks to snuggles in bed! She was very good at communicating and responded to any concerns I had. Would definitely rebook!”
About: I have loved and been loved by animals my entire life. :-) t would be my absolute honor to care for your pet! I have off-app pet sitting/walking and house sitting experience. I am comfortable with all personalities or ages. I currently regularly watch a reactive golden doodle and two kitties. On top of that, I also have my own baby cat named Jojo. I am extremely flexible and willing to answer any questions. I look forward to meeting your loved ones. Please reach out with any additional information wanted! I work full time Sunday-Thursday from 3pm-11pm. I am available for any pet care before 3pm on those days, and all day long on Friday and Saturday. I am also willing to be flexible and see what I can do for emergency situations where a pet needs attention while I am at work. I love being active! Taking dogs for walks, play and providing enrichment is something I value a lot. I also believe play and attention are important for cats too. Ideally, a clear idea of what your pets day to day looks like will help us both be set up for success. I am fully willing to follow whatever your pets needs are. I just want them to be happy!
“Grace is a fantastic sitter. Chewy, my Labradoodle, loved staying with her. He has had two separate stays with her and when he saw her the second time, he simply rushed in to greet her with such joy. I definitely recommend her if you need a dog sitter.”

“Katey was a great communicator and cat-sitter. We had no problems during our trip and we were pleased with the state of things when we returned. She sent photos every day and the cats looked like they were having fun. 10/10 would book again. Thanks Katey!”
“Julia took great care of my young and feisty boys while I was away for a long weekend. She played with them and cleaned up when they knocked over the treat container and over-indulged. Thank you for your great work!”
“Hanna was amazing! It was so easy to communicate with her and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and patience with my cat, who is super shy and also needs a daily inhaler for her asthma. I’d definitely recommend Hanna as a cat sitter!”
“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!”
“Meagan was great!- she saved me from a travel nightmare when i lost my petsitter due to airline cancellations & rebooking. She accommodated my schedule last-minute, had no problem administering meds to my hyperthyroid cat (and didn’t blink at my 3+ page pet-sitting instructions, which have gotten embarrassingly long & detailed), & endured all of my anxiety and (likely too frequent & annoying) check ins & inquiries about their welfare while I was away with good humor & kindness. The cats seemed happy & calm when i returned after a week away, which is all I really care about!- but she also was very respectful of my home, leaving everything clean & in order, even washing the linens & towels (which I consider above & beyond, but is certainly appreciated)! I will definitely seek out Meagan’s assistance with my kitties again, & absolutely recommend her to anyone in & around Portland looking for trusted help with their pets 🙏❤️🐱🐱❤️”
“Hannah was such a sweet babysitter for our cats. She was on time to do a meet and greet the week before, and let us add on extra days to accommodate our travel. She took lots of pictures of our cats and seemed like she played with them a bit during her visits. I highly recommend her service and will book with her again!”
“Maureen took such great care of Scout! We loved receiving all of her pictures and updates. We knew Scout was in good hands and didn't worry about him at all while we were gone. We will definitely book with Maureen again!”
“Stacey did an excellent job looking after my cat while I was away for a week. She went above and beyond, sent plenty of pictures and gave thorough update. Thank you again so much!! Highly recommended!!”
About: I have had two cats of my own for 11 years and play a large role in their care. I have pet sat for cats many times, including up to 6 at a time. I am comfortable tending to all their needs, including administering medication. Cats are big on trust so I always take a gentle approach, letting them get to know me and establish that trust.
“Jayson was so helpful and put my mind at ease. It was easy to vacation knowing my cats were being looked after and had some company while I was gone. I felt very comfortable having Jayson come to my home.”
“Jess took great care of my 2 kitties when I was away. I got a daily photo with a cute snuggle picture of my friendly cat. It felt good to know they were so well cared for.”
About: Although I didn’t grow up with cats due to my dad’s allergies, I’ve always loved them. I was constantly seeking out my friends’ and neighbors’ cats and regularly helped cat‑sit whenever I had the chance. During undergrad, I adopted my first cat, and after moving to Maine, I welcomed a second so my oldest could have a companion. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine, and I’m very comfortable caring for cats with special diets, medications, medical needs, or shy temperaments. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide whatever care your cat needs to feel safe, comfortable, and well‑loved while you’re away. You can also expect lots of photo updates, because I know how hard it is to be away from your baby!
“Annie was excellent with the cats. She sent regular updates with photos, and seems to really enjoy spending time with them. We feel better knowing that she’s watching them while we’re gone. Thank you!!”
“Nishat was extremely timely and quick to respond when I needed some last minute care! She sent lots of photos for updates and made me feel better that my kitties were getting some play time and love while I was away 🥰”
“Justine was fabulous with our cats and we will definitely request her again! Our shyest kitty warmed up in record time. She kept us up to date and was proactive with packages and such. 10/10!”
“I definitely recommend Catey, particularly if your quadrupedal babes tend toward anxiety or need confident medication administration. This is the first sitter I've ever hired who wasn't already familiar with my cats and our home. I was nervous because of my boys needs medicated eye drops every 12 hours, which isn't his favorite thing by far, and he also generally takes a while to get comfortable with new people. Catey's super calm and solid demeanor was evident from the get-go, and this helped my boy a lot. Meds went off without a problem. Everything that needed doing for both cats was done, and my boys were chill as can be when I returned home. Catey was also super communicative and seemed like a solid, kind person in general. I couldn't ask for more from a sitter!”

“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.”
“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.”
About: I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for years. I am experienced with small/medium sized dogs of all ages. I'm very flexible and will do my best to accommodate special requests that are within my skill set. I also like to form long term relationships with pets and their families to ensure consistent care and the best experience for all involved. I am currently available 24/7 for my dog, we like to go to the beach, walks in the woods, naps and daily training exercises. I am flexible to work with your dogs needs and schedules! I'm happy to accommodate to the best of my capabilities the care and routines to which your pets are accustomed. Feeding, walks, meds, certain special care and sleeping arrangements will all be tailored to your pets needs to ensure the least stressful experience for your four legged friends!
“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”
“Christine is the best. She made it really easy for us to leave our 13 week old puppy with her for the day and feel totally confident that she was well taken care of. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Emilia took great care of my dog Louie who is a bit nervous around new people. Communication was great and I could tell my little guy felt very comfortable with her. Would 10/10 recommend!”
“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!”
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.
“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!!”
About: I genuinely love cats and dogs and I would own more if I could! I currently have two cats (Han and Solo) and a dog named Ollie. I understand different animals have different needs and routines. Here to help look after your animals for dog walks, drop in visits, potty breaks, babysitting! I currently work from home and can be fairly flexible and available for your pets needs. I can do early mornings, evenings and drop ins/walks during the day. As I have animals at home it will be best if I look after your pets in their own home. I walk my dog often and he loves other dogs so we would be happy to add another to our daily walk!
“Victoria was wonderful and it was clear when I picked him up how comfortable and happy my pup had been with her. She was responsive when booking, communicative during her time with him including sending a photo, and flexible when I was a bit unsure of my timeline. I will definitely book time with her again!”
“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 😄”
About: Longtime dog lover and owner, current parent of a 9-year-old Siberian Husky service dog whom I trained to myself. I love dogs of all sizes and shapes and personalities and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful furkids that I'll be looking after in the future. I'm always telling people "I may have trouble remembering your name, but I will always remember your pet's name." Though I am small in stature I'm actually quite strong and can handle large/muscular dogs (and the occasional feral cat when necessary), because I just know how to move with them/guide them. I'm also not intimidated by aggressive behavior in animals, nor do I meet it with aggression in return. I always try to calm the animal and figure out the issue, putting myself between them and anyone/anything that might upset them further. I have a personality/presence that dogs seem to love, from the timid to the social, the calm to the active. I'm a fast walker, so your dog will certainly get a workout they'll love as they keep pace with me, but I can also meander when needed for the older dogs and fumbling puppies. I have experience doing basic grooming for dogs: bathing, brushing, shaving away mats, clipping nails, trimming the fur between pawpads, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears. I do not have experience doing "style" cuts for dogs. I know snake pet care as well, so feel free to inquire if you need someone to look after your danger noodle! Pet care is my primary work focus right now as I work through completing my online schooling towards getting my degree and Vet Tech licence. I have a backyard for your dog to play in alongside my very friendly Husky. It's not fenced in, but I keep a spare long-lead on-hand, same kind as I use for my girl, for guest dogs. If your dog is an especially strong one please let me know and I'll make sure to have an lead appropriate for your dogs weight strength available. Inside the house is dog-friendly and spacious, and I can crate your dog if needed. My dog is allowed on the couch and my bed, so do let me know if those are no-go areas for your dog. If your cat likes outside time I can provide walks and/or put them out in the backyard on the spare long-lead.
“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.”
“Seth and his family are truly so wonderful. He was a huge help to us out-of-towners who needed a place for our pup to hang out. Rudy has some separation anxiety and Seth was absolutely wonderful with him. He sent photos throughout the day and put our mind at ease. Would absolutely 100% recommend trusting him with your dog!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - South Portland
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Growing up with dogs all around was and continues to be a fun and deeply rewarding experience. I have cared for dogs (and cats, etc.) since I was a kid, and still often take care of family and friends' pets. Providing enrichment and engagement, anticipating and caring for needs, wrangling wily actors, managing space and time in a positive attitude, and thinking and acting flexibly, attuned to diverse and changing needs, are not only things required from a good dog walker - these are tasks I complete daily as a middle school teacher. I am available all day most Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with some availability on the weekends. During the school year, my availability will mostly be on the weekends, though I will be available during school breaks and holidays. As a dog walker, safety is the most important aspect. I am a very perceptive individual and take care to be aware of all of my surroundings. Any and all information you can share about your pet is greatly welcome.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I have experience walking multiple dogs around my neighborhood, and staying overnight with dogs to provide 24 hour care. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and love getting to know each unique personality. I have cared for households of up to 6 cats and am well versed in tending to all their needs, including administering medications. I think the best way to succeed as a sitter is to take time to understand the animal and establish trust! I have complete availability this summer and can care for animals days and nights, seven days a week! I am open to working with multiple pets each day depending on their needs. I have two cats at home which are primarily indoor. I have experience walking dogs on and off leash. While I don’t have a fenced in yard at home, I would love to bring your pups to a dog park or play with them in your backyard. Keeping my eye on pets while outside, to ensure safety is my biggest priority. I am comfortable crating your dog at the end of our play date!
“Jesika was such a huge help, always showed up with a smile, my puppy was overjoyed to see her and she was very communicative through our time. Would definitely hire her again.”
“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: John and I are responsible, attentive dog lovers. We both grew up with dogs (medium/large and small breed) and have not had a work travel schedule that is conducive for having one of our own, yet! We've collectively dog sat many different breeds over the past few years including coonhounds, heelers, pitbulls, retrievers, and shepherd mixes. We are comfortable with all sizes of dogs and love to go on long walks or short runs to tucker them out! We are comfortable giving medicine on a schedule if needed and accommodating specific needs around meal time, reactive dogs on walks, etc. We both work remotely full time (~9-5). We are both home all day and can easily accommodate varying meal times/routines. Morning walks, mid day walks, after work walks are all possible with our schedules. We have a dog safe home with a fenced-in backyard . We dogsit so often for friends that we have puppy proofed everything, just like we had to with our dogs growing up!
“Viva truly understands dogs. She absolutely adores them, and they absolutely adore her!!! She exudes positive energy. She asks thoughtful, thorough questions and communicates really well. With Viva, you know your precious dog is in the best possible hands ❤️”
“Jack was wonderful - so helpful at the last minute and our dog was very happy to go for a walk midday with an animal lover! Thank you - highly recommend to others.”
“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.”
“Erin was fantastic with my Red Dogs, they absolutely adore her! I got pictures and updates. I could tell they loved her from the start. It is so nice knowing your babies are loved while you are at work!! Thank you Erin! We will hire her again!”
“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!”
“Madeleine is amazing. I was in the hospital for 10 days and when my service dog was finally able to come spend a few nights with me, Madeleine stepped right up to the task. Then I got discharged before expected and had to cancel her and she was very professional and understanding. Now she’s going to be coming to my house to walk my service dog some weekends which helps me hugely! My dog was instantly comfortable with Madeleine and I’m so grateful for her experience and flexibility because everything was double speed while I was in the hospital. Best rover walker I’ve met.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pups who require patience and gentle care. What sets me apart is my focus on making each dog feel safe, loved, and at home, whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to their exact routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and quick to notice changes in behavior or needs, which gives pet parents peace of mind. If your dog needs medication, extra exercise, or just a little extra snuggle time, I’m happy to provide it. Every dog has their own personality, and I love tailoring my care to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I am currently in medical school so my schedule is busy but with plenty of time free on the weekends! I have full days (8am-6pm) Monday and Friday, but only brief afternoon classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and would love to spend my non-class time with a pup! I am additionally free any time on weekends as my weekends mainly entail staying at home to study. I am currently unable to offer pet care in my apartment. I live in an apartment building that is not pet friendly. I am able to travel wherever is needed!
“I rarely leave my two boyz for long stretches with dogwalkers popping in! However, I've just returned from a wonderful Thanksgiving Day to find happy pups who obviously had a blast! Emmy is a flawless communicator, super smart and a kind, lovely person. Big bonus for us that she had her own super dog, Banjo, to join in the fun!”
About: Hi! My name is Cara and I am so excited to meet you and your fur baby/babies! A lifelong animal lover, I am looking to keep pursuing my passion. I have worked directly with dogs on all sides of the behavior spectrum both in one-on-one and playgroup settings. Currently, I volunteer at my local shelter and work in a dog daycare setting part-time. I am happy to provide references and answer any questions. I look forward to working together! I assess each booking on an individual basis. I do have some word-of-mouth clients outside of Rover and scheduling goes the same way for them, too. If I have an opening, the first requestor is given the slot. I work as hard as I can to find a schedule that works for both of us, but wherever you can compromise even a little is greatly appreciated! :) When staying in homes, I am committed to treating it as my own. All bedsheets are stripped at the end of the stay, and can be washed upon request. I will make every effort to clean your home and leave it as I found it. Please let me know your furniture rules for your pet(s) prior to the sit!
About: In the past, I had a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix who was 100lbs. His name was Huckleberry. I loved taking him on walks, grooming/brushing him, and giving him lots of pets. My friends also hired me to take care of their dogs who ranged in different breeds and sizes. I also love taking pictures of all animals. You're sure to get some pretty pictures of your pooch! I am currently working part-time at The Maine Mall and have some free time to help out as much of the Portland dog loving community as possible. Dogs make me happy and feel good about what I do! I make sure your pet(s) are cared for by giving them plenty of water on walks, making sure they are not acting out of the norm (panting heavily/having heat exhaustion). I was working at a veterinary hospital in Chicagoland, so I feel confident at making sure your dog is well taken care of, kept hydrated, fed well, and that all the normal everyday tasks (peeing, pooping, breathing) are being well monitored. I will also send pictures/videos if I suspect something is not right/concerning. I hope to take care of your cute pooch soon!
“Jill gave my dog, Finn, an amazing day when I had to travel for work. I always hate to leave him for long stretches of time, but I didn't have to worry at all because Jill gave him walks, took him to the beach, and even kept him company! When I came back from my long day of traveling, Finn was happy and tired from having a great day. Grateful to Jill for taking such excellent care of him!”

I am extremely flexible and willing to answer any questions. I look forward to meeting your loved ones. Please reach out with any additional information wanted! I work full time Sunday-Thursday from 3pm-11pm. I am available for any pet care before 3pm on those days, and all day long on Friday and Saturday. I am also willing to be flexible and see what I can do for emergency situations where a pet needs attention while I am at work. I love being active! Taking dogs for walks, play and providing enrichment is something I value a lot. I also believe play and attention are important for cats too. Ideally, a clear idea of what your pets day to day looks like will help us both be set up for success. I am fully willing to follow whatever your pets needs are. I just want them to be happy!
“Grace is a fantastic sitter. Chewy, my Labradoodle, loved staying with her. He has had two separate stays with her and when he saw her the second time, he simply rushed in to greet her with such joy. I definitely recommend her if you need a dog sitter.”
“Sam was a wonderful dog sitter for our special needs golden/lab mix Bear. She gave us regular updates and Bear clearly had a blast romping by the lake and becoming best friends with Sams cat. I wish we lived closer so we could board with her again soon. Thanks Sam!”
“Amanda and Austin were able to take my dog Willow after we had another Rover cancel on us. They were communicative and Willow came home happy and well taken care of.”
