“This was our first time leaving our "floof" at a babysitter. Joey was absolutely 💯 amazing!!! I received many videos and pictures as well as updates throughout the time. I would give him 10 🌟 if I could!”
“Ellie and Sarah are great! Their house has a great setup for dogs with a fenced in area in the yard. They were super responsive to my messages, provided pictures, and asked questions of their own to make sure they provided my pets with excellent care. They were also flexible with my pickup time when my travel plans changed due to weather. Would book again!”
“Valerie and her family were so wonderful. We were so bummed to leave our pup for his first Christmas but she made it special for him and welcomed him as part of the family in their gorgeous home. We got regular updates and check ins. He loved romping in the snow with his new best friend, their family yellow lab. We highly recommend Valerie and will be using her again!”
“Paige was great with Mazzy! This is the longest we've ever had to be away from our dog Mazzy, and things went great!! Lots of pictures lots of walks lots of love 🙏🏽💜 Would definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica and her family quickly became like a second family to us. They were kind, compassionate and great communicators with multiple updates and photos a day. Our dog Max had THE BEST TIME!”
“Thank you Danielle!! Spice and Coco have indicated that they had a great time. We are so thankful to have found you! It made our trip so much easier to go worry free. The girls seemed very relaxed and every picture you sent over our trip, showed how happy they were. Your attitude during the entire stay they had, was over the top. When our return flight was canceled, and it added an extra day to our trip, you again made us feel at ease. Can't thank you enough, and would use you again on our return next summer. Pat, Sue, Spice and Coco.”
“I am so grateful for Bethany and her family for the loving care they give to my Australian shepherd, Remi. They care for her and treat her as part of the family. My affection and confidence may best be expressed by sharing that Bethany is listed in my contacts as “ Remi’s Rover Mom. “ I highly recommend 🙂🙏🐕”
“Nicole was great! She accommodated a last minute request and provided me with updates on my dog throughout his stay. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with her. I would definitely reach back out and have her dog sit again.”
“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.”
“Amber was an incredible dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog Daisy, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and it was clear Daisy was getting spoiled with plenty of walks, love, treats and attention. Amber truly went above and beyond we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I highly recommend trusting Amber with your pup!”
“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”
“Nancy was awesome! My dog Maisie was loved and cared for as if she was part of the family. I received frequent updates and pics too! Maisie had a wonderful time. I would recommend Nancy and will certainly contact her next time I need dog care.”
“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”
“We couldn’t have been happier boarding with Charlotte while we were visiting Acadia! She’s a lovely person and gave our lab, Mabel, exactly the home away from home experience we hoped for (and arguably even more fun!) We didn’t have a moment’s worry knowing that Mabel was in the best of hands. We will definitely be back!”

About: As a pet lover for my entire life, I am very open to who I will take in. I have taken care of my family’s dogs and cats. As well as friends’ pets as well. Not just our small pets. I worked on my family farm in the middle of Maine near Dover-Foxcroft. That included Horses, chickens, occasionally some cows and donkeys.

I will be sure to accommodate accordingly. You can contact me via email, call, or text. For those who need service at their home, I would gladly organize that with you as well. Small, medium and large pets are all welcomed. As for cancellations and early pickups, I will do my best to be as flexible as I can. As this is for the pet, not the money. ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and I’m a mom of a little boy. I have pets of my own that I take care of on a daily basis. I have integrated my son into my pets lives and they’re all best friends. Being with animals has always been a major part of my life!

About: Extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, routine care, behavior monitoring, and maintaining safe, structured environments. I have been around pets my whole life. I just returned from Active Duty with the Marine Corps and am looking for work that will be fulfilling and I would enjoy. I am not currently pre-engaged with any other duties and would give my whole time and effort towards your fur family. I have two beagles, who are taken on runs everyday. We have a fenced in portion of the yard for them and they are given food and water at regular intervals throughout the day. I have three indoor cats, as well, who are taken care of in the same manner, to include changing out litter boxes and giving out treats.
“Alison was great with our three kitties! She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. We loved that she stayed at the house as they are very social indoor kitties. We would definitely use Alison again!”
“What a joy! Katie saved the day when I needed last minute Christmas cat care. She came through despite there being two snow storms! I appreciate all of the pictures she sent of Kitty Boy. She did a wonderful job keeping him fed and entertained. It was relaxing knowing he was in good hands, and equally great to come home to a spotless house and a happy cat. Thanks Katie :-)”
“Taylor was great! She is very responsive, organized , and respectful of our home. She played with our little tabby and even cuddled him :) ! We will definitely book with her again.!!”
“McKenna was a GREAT pet sitter. She was on time and did all the tasks asked and even filled the bird feeders. Best of all, Stormy was excited to see her each day for food and pets. Her photos were so appreciated and so well done. I really appreciated her daily updates.”
“Hayleigh did a wonderful job with our cats. They were adopted litter mates at the age of 3 months. They have never been without us, so they were a little shy about showing themselves. Everything was done as asked, feeding, litter box, etc. Would use again if the need arises.”
“Elizabeth and Charlie were so good with my babies! It was such a relief having trustworthy folks at home with my kitties so I didn’t have to worry during my trip :) It was clear she truly cared about them and the space [they left everything so neat]. I would absolutelyy book her again!”
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. Currently I have one pup - Bodhi, a 2.5 year old black lab. 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: I provide calm, patient, and detail oriented care tailored specifically to cats and their unique personalities. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, so I take a gentle, respectful approach allowing each cat to set the pace for interaction while ensuring all of their daily needs are met. I’m experienced caring for cats of all temperaments, from social and affectionate to shy, independent, or easily stressed. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and litter box habits, which can be early signs of stress or discomfort. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed, following feeding schedules, providing enrichment and playtime, brushing, and maintaining very clean litter boxes (yes—deep cleaning included). I take pride in keeping your cat’s space tidy, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable and highly communicative, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is safe, relaxed, and well cared for at home.
“Justin and Eva were great. They showed up on time, cleaned up more than we were expecting and gave us plenty of updates on our cats. Our shy cat even started staying in the same room while they were there which is huge. I highly recommend them.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was very happy with the care our cats received. Jessica was very caring, competent, and communicative. I would definitely book with her again if we need cat sitting.”

“Mazzy had a great time with Paige. It was kind of a last-minute request but she was available, which helped a lot! Place was cozy and loving humans were ready to watch Mazzy which is so appreciated. Would recommend Oaige again 🙂”
“I felt that Alex took care of our puppy like it was her own. He was tuckered out at the end of the day and got to meet other farm animals, which was great! It’s a great opportunity for us to socialize our puppy, in a safe environment. Definitely will continue bringing our pup to Alex!”

“Such a wonderful caregiving family experience! Luna was so very well cared for and adored the attention from both the humans along with their fellow K-9 friends. Truly grateful!”
“Amber was amazing with Finn! She was attentive, loving, and kept me very informed of how his day was going. She picked up on a war issue he was having and made sure I knew there may be an issue. I will DEFINITELY be booking with her again.”
About: I have had dogs and other various pets for most of my life. I feel as though I have a strong connection and passionate drive to caring for animals and I really enjoy it. I recently lost my dog of six years so it’s been quite lonely around the house without him! I work from home so I can keep an eye on your dog throughout the day and utilize my break time to take them outside. I have a detached fenced in yard, so they’ll get plenty of exercise. I have room for a crate if that is needed as well.
“Maisie had such a good day with Jessica, and came back tired and happy. Jessica sent sweet photos and let me know throughout the day that Maisie was doing well. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy there for the day. I definitely recommend her. Thank you so much!”
About: What truly sets me apart is that dog care isn’t just a service I offer, it’s a central part of my everyday life! I’ve raised dogs from day one, all the way through their golden years. I am incredibly comfortable with all life stages. Having owned and loved dogs my entire life, I have a deep, intuitive understanding of canine behavior, and what it takes to keep a pup feeling secure when their owner is away or when they are in a new environment. I am currently a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, meaning my home is already a fully equipped, dog friendly environment, where your pet can seamlessly blend into my safe and comfortable daily routine. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast, which means your dog won't just be letting themselves out into a yard, they will be getting true mental and physical exercise. From neighborhood strolls to exploring fresh air trails, I love keeping dogs active, stimulated, and happy. If your dog has energy to burn, they will find the perfect match here! As a stay at home mom, my days are spent right here at home, which gives me incredible flexibility. Pet care isn’t something I have to rush through before or after a work shift. It is naturally woven right into the heart of my daily family routine. I am always around, so your pup will benefit from constant supervision, a predictable schedule, and plenty of companionship. My approach to pet care is rooted in safety, structure, and treating your dog exactly like a member of my own family. Safety is my top priority. If being boarded at my home, I have a fully fenced in yard where your dog can run, and play completely securely under my close supervision. During my pop in visits, I handle all the essentials, including walking, feeding, refreshing water bowls, and managing potty breaks. You will always receive a quick update and a photo, so you can have total peace of mind knowing exactly how much fun your pet is having!
“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.”
“I will definitely use this sitter again! She is well-versed in the care of dogs and You can definitely tell her affection for them and just speaking with her. Lenny is the perfect host. Very low stress very low-key it was nice to be able to feel though my dog was well taken care of while I was at work. Stress free...worry free.Can’t wait till the next visit.”
About: Currently I am between caregiving clients trying to decide what my next move is. I was born into an animal loving family, extended family, etc. I am 59 years old and have never been without at least a cat or two. I've also had 2 of my own dogs since 2005. My last senior dog passed the rainbow bridge in 2024. Born in Connecticut, lived for 45 years in Maryland and now I am living in Maine where I love it! One reason I fell in love with Maine is you can bring your dog almost anywhere here. They are a pet loving no-kill state! I have administered just about every kind of pet med out there. Every single pet has their own personality and I am very patient to learn that personality so we will become friends. I have a pretty open schedule with no real deadlines, so when ever your pets need walks, feeding, medications or just spend time with them, I am there. My own pets get feed twice a day. The time varies depending on my pet sitting schedule. But usually Its about 10am and 7pm. Whatever instructions left for me for a pet sit, I will follow to the letter. I will ask questions or text later to make sure I understand everything your pet needs. I've never run into an animal not liking me, but I am very aware of them not be comfortable with me at first. That can be stressful for them of course, so its very important that their care instructions are followed to keep them as anxiety free as possible.
“My dog had a great time with Lincey and her family and I received updates throughout the day confirming that she was safe and having fun. I was visiting the area for a few days and Lincey’s willingness to accept a last-minute booking made it possible for me to go kayaking secure in the knowledge that my fur-baby was well cared for and having a grand adventure of her own. Thanks Lincey!”

My approach to pet care is rooted in safety, structure, and treating your dog exactly like a member of my own family. Safety is my top priority. If being boarded at my home, I have a fully fenced in yard where your dog can run, and play completely securely under my close supervision. During my pop in visits, I handle all the essentials, including walking, feeding, refreshing water bowls, and managing potty breaks. You will always receive a quick update and a photo, so you can have total peace of mind knowing exactly how much fun your pet is having!
About: With over 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s second best friend while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide, my strong communication with pet parents, and my flexibility to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and energy levels. I work full-time as a pet sitter, so your pet’s well-being and routine are my top priority. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, large breed dogs, and high-energy pups that need extra playtime. I also offer overnight stays with discounted rates for multiple pets, and I’m happy to discuss custom bundles based on your needs—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates consistently, and treats your pets like family—I’d love to help. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—I’m a full-time sitter, so my schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I also block off time for overnight stays and am available on weekends and holidays with advance notice. Since this is my primary focus, I’m flexible and responsive, making it easy to accommodate custom routines or last-minute bookings when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping in for visits, I treat every space with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow all feeding, potty, and medication instructions closely, and always double-check doors, gates, and locks. I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort level and body language, especially when it comes to shy or energetic pets, and I adjust my approach to match what they need—whether it’s quiet company, active play, or just a little extra patience. For overnight stays, I create a peaceful and familiar atmosphere by keeping to your pet’s bedtime routine, favorite toys, and walking routes. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Belmont, Maine | Experienced Pet Sitter | Farm Animal Friendly | Reiki-Calming Pet Sessions Hi, I’m Geoffery—a lifelong animal caregiver with 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals alike. I grew up on a farm and have spent my life surrounded by animals of all kinds, offering everything from basic pet sitting and walks to drop-in visits, long-term fostering, and livestock care. I specialize in daytime house sitting, split AM/PM visits, and care for farm animals, senior pets, and anxious companions. Whether I’m tending to dogs, cats, pigs, or cows, I approach every animal with calm presence, kindness, and deep understanding. ⸻ I offer: • Drop-in visits (20–60 min) • Day-sitting at your home (9am–5pm) • AM/PM split visits • Light livestock care (pigs, cows, goats) • Medication, special diets, senior support • Walks, enrichment, snuggles, and updates • Optional Reiki-Calming Sessions for anxiety relief, post-surgery recovery, or general well-being My clients often say their pets are calm, happy, and tired after time with me—because I don’t just stop in, I bond, I engage, and I treat your animals like family. I also send photos, updates, and notes to keep you in the loop and reassured while you’re away. ⸻ My Background: • CNA with 10+ years in professional caregiving • Raised on a working farm with animal husbandry experience • Foster caregiver for struggling families’ pets • Comfortable with reactive or high-energy dogs • Reiki practitioner with gentle touch and energy healing experience • Available for last-minute or weekend requests when possible ⸻ What Sets Me Apart: • I provide extended care (not just 15-minute visits) • Comfortable with non-traditional animals (livestock, senior, special needs) • I work with clients to create custom plans—every pet is different • I’m home full-time and focus solely on animal care and community healing ⸻ Let’s Connect: Send a message with your pet’s name(s), needs, and ideal schedule.

This means I’m highly flexible and available throughout the day for visits, walking, house-sitting, and last-minute requests. Because I focus solely on this work, I give your pets my full attention, energy, and presence. Safety, Trust & Environment I care for animals in their own homes, where they feel safest and most comfortable. Every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and intuitive understanding—and that starts with meeting them on familiar ground. When I enter your home, I bring a calm, grounded presence. I follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible while gently introducing enrichment, affection, and companionship. Whether your dog loves fetch in the yard, your cat prefers a quiet window perch, or your livestock need a gentle hand and clear communication, I adjust to meet their energy and needs. I specialize in tending senior pets, anxious or reactive animals, and pets with special diets or medications. I also offer Reiki calming sessions—gentle energy work that helps soothe nerves, balance energy, and promote well-being.

“This was our first time leaving our "floof" at a babysitter. Joey was absolutely 💯 amazing!!! I received many videos and pictures as well as updates throughout the time. I would give him 10 🌟 if I could!”
“Ellie and Sarah are great! Their house has a great setup for dogs with a fenced in area in the yard. They were super responsive to my messages, provided pictures, and asked questions of their own to make sure they provided my pets with excellent care. They were also flexible with my pickup time when my travel plans changed due to weather. Would book again!”
“Valerie and her family were so wonderful. We were so bummed to leave our pup for his first Christmas but she made it special for him and welcomed him as part of the family in their gorgeous home. We got regular updates and check ins. He loved romping in the snow with his new best friend, their family yellow lab. We highly recommend Valerie and will be using her again!”
“Jessica and her family quickly became like a second family to us. They were kind, compassionate and great communicators with multiple updates and photos a day. Our dog Max had THE BEST TIME!”
“Thank you Danielle!! Spice and Coco have indicated that they had a great time. We are so thankful to have found you! It made our trip so much easier to go worry free. The girls seemed very relaxed and every picture you sent over our trip, showed how happy they were. Your attitude during the entire stay they had, was over the top. When our return flight was canceled, and it added an extra day to our trip, you again made us feel at ease. Can't thank you enough, and would use you again on our return next summer. Pat, Sue, Spice and Coco.”
“I am so grateful for Bethany and her family for the loving care they give to my Australian shepherd, Remi. They care for her and treat her as part of the family. My affection and confidence may best be expressed by sharing that Bethany is listed in my contacts as “ Remi’s Rover Mom. “ I highly recommend 🙂🙏🐕”
“Nicole was great! She accommodated a last minute request and provided me with updates on my dog throughout his stay. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with her. I would definitely reach back out and have her dog sit again.”
“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.”
About: What truly sets me apart is that dog care isn’t just a service I offer, it’s a central part of my everyday life! I’ve raised dogs from day one, all the way through their golden years. I am incredibly comfortable with all life stages. Having owned and loved dogs my entire life, I have a deep, intuitive understanding of canine behavior, and what it takes to keep a pup feeling secure when their owner is away or when they are in a new environment. I am currently a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, meaning my home is already a fully equipped, dog friendly environment, where your pet can seamlessly blend into my safe and comfortable daily routine. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast, which means your dog won't just be letting themselves out into a yard, they will be getting true mental and physical exercise. From neighborhood strolls to exploring fresh air trails, I love keeping dogs active, stimulated, and happy. If your dog has energy to burn, they will find the perfect match here! As a stay at home mom, my days are spent right here at home, which gives me incredible flexibility. Pet care isn’t something I have to rush through before or after a work shift. It is naturally woven right into the heart of my daily family routine. I am always around, so your pup will benefit from constant supervision, a predictable schedule, and plenty of companionship.

“Amber was an incredible dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog Daisy, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and it was clear Daisy was getting spoiled with plenty of walks, love, treats and attention. Amber truly went above and beyond we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I highly recommend trusting Amber with your pup!”
“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!!”
“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”
“Nancy was awesome! My dog Maisie was loved and cared for as if she was part of the family. I received frequent updates and pics too! Maisie had a wonderful time. I would recommend Nancy and will certainly contact her next time I need dog care.”
“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”
“We couldn’t have been happier boarding with Charlotte while we were visiting Acadia! She’s a lovely person and gave our lab, Mabel, exactly the home away from home experience we hoped for (and arguably even more fun!) We didn’t have a moment’s worry knowing that Mabel was in the best of hands. We will definitely be back!”
“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.”
About: I have two labs, one is six years old and the second is six months old. People have trusted me to take care of their dogs for years and I love being around animals. I currently work full-time from home and I’m outside with my dogs every day playing! pet care is a necessity for me as my world revolves around my girls. I have two labs that are very friendly and playful, I also have the ability to crate dogs as well. I used to work in clients homes so I have a vast understanding of the necessity to keep your home safe and well cared for. I also understand the vulnerability that your pet may feel if you are gone at work or for a period of time.
About: I’ve always grown up with a dog in my home. I have experience handling a variety breeds of all sizes, from a small 20lb Cairn Terrier to a 185lb Boerboel! I also have experience administering medication which included oral consumption as well as shots. I have been very reliable to my close family members and friends to take care of their dogs and cats when they are working or away on vacation! Aside from Rover’s guarantee , I am also separately insured to give you an extra ease of mind when choosing me for your sitting needs! Pricing: Please understand pricing is non-negotiable. Prices shown on Rover are accurate and up to date (as of March 2026). Initial pricing shown during search is a base rate - additional rates may apply depending on times/ animals that are needing care. An accurate quote will be provided after submitting a request. I do not offer discounts at this time, thank you for understanding! House Sitting Requests: Please keep in mind that I am catering to repeat clients I have throughout the week day as well! Depending on my schedule, I may not be at your home 24/7, however, I guarantee your pets won’t be alone longer than 5-6 hours. Typically I limit leaving to 2 times a day to accommodate these clients. (I won’t be gone 5-6 hours each time) My coming and going schedule will be provided prior to sitting! Constant Care: Constant care is applied to any sitting that doesn’t allow me to leave for more than 4 hours of the day, per day. Constant care rates start at $175/ night (additional rates still apply) and increase based off of pet’s needs. Please understand this service may not always be available and interferes with ongoing mid day clients. Price reflects alternative arrangements I need to make for existing clients. If you have any questions regarding this, please reach out! I currently only allow one family for boarding at a time. Prices reflect solo care and not having to worry about exposure to other dogs during their stay. I currently have one cat in the home - a 12 year old Maine Coon mix who is very relaxed and tends to mind her own business. Between my boyfriend and I, there is always someone on property, so potty breaks can be provided frequently!
