“I whole-heartedly recommend Pat for pet-sitting services! She is a dedicated and deeply caring person who understands dogs and their psyches very well. She also has excellent communication skills and patience! She went above and beyond during my dogs' stay with her to ensure their physical and - equally if not more important - psychological well-being.”
“My dog Suki had a great second overnight stay with Lindsay! Lindsay updated me with pictures of Suki playing with her new friends, and Suki was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Thanks so much, Lindsay!”
“Molly was great. She made us feel very comfortable about leaving Millie in her home. She sent us pics while we were dining of Millie which really helped as this was our first time using this service. Thanks Molly!”
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.
“Jacki fully understands puppies and has a special magic with them. She is kind and compassionate and and our Goldendoodle she had great fun playing with her and her two Goldens. Perfectly safe yard with a big field for running. And, extra bonus, she sent us pix of our puppy while we were away. Five stars for sure!”
“Melanie provided a safe, nurturing environment for our Lucy. She was warm and welcoming when we met, and clearly gave Lucy lots of love while she was in her care. She has a large yard for dogs to play. She sent me pictures every day, both of Lucy playing with the other dogs, as well as relaxing. I felt completely confident that Lucy was in the best of hands!”
“Brutus had another wonderful stay with Elizabeth and came back home happy and healthy. Brutus has colitis so its important that he eats only certain foods and Elizabeth did this perfectly for us. We got daily photos and a little report on his days activities and walks he had gone on. Couldn't be happier knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks Elizabeth!”
“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 🙂🙏🐕”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a teenager! I am comfortable with Reactive, Aggressive and Nervous dogs. I have Three of my own nervous/reactive dogs! I've dog sat for family and friends along with having 4 of my own dogs! I've worked at a doggie daycare and have experience with particular routines that our pets have. I understand that dogs are our family and I will treat your pet just like they're my own! I am also experienced with large high energy dogs and Working dogs! I am currently working part time as my mom's cleaning business and I am Active in dog related activities. I do a lot with my own pups! I treat all dogs in my care as if they're my own!

About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.
About: I had beagles growing up and was totally fascinated by them and they brought a big smile to my face with their antics. Later on, I adopted a red Doberman female dog and loved her to pieces taking her on all sort of outdoor adventures - she was highly athletic! I had a poodle who was a bit shy but nevertheless I gave her a great life with endless throwing of the ball for fetch and taking care of her when she went blind - older poodles have that tendency. I have a 11 year old cockapoo who is lean and trim and well loved! Yes could have used more training but what an awesome, well adjusted dog who is super friendly as I my two year old female cocker spaniel who is an absolute joy of sweetness. I have integrity, I think quick on my feet and am very responsible having raised a family and pets. I am a dog whisperer who can tune into all different kinds of dogs and dispositions. I am a semi retired man and so have much more free time. I love outdoor adventures and sunshine and I know dogs do too! First off, every dog is different and has his or her own quirks from dietary to social interactions with other dogs. It’s great to love dogs but it’s also important to provide them structure and pay good attention to their health needs. Not every dog is cut out for lengthy walks so I tailor the experience to whatever brings the dog most joy!
“Lacey gave Tonks love and enrichment; I could sense that Tonks felt relaxed and cared for during their time together. We definitely would choose Lacey, and her family, for a future dog-date!”
“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!”
“Tyler was great with Angel. We were visiting the area and needed somewhere for Angel to stay for two days. He took her for long walks with his dog which she loved. He kept us informed. I would recommend him for your dog sitting needs”
About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and all animals; my goal is to help families take off some pressure so both they and their pets can enjoy life to the fullest! I live in Wiscasset and would love to hang out with your furry pal! The outdoors are my favorite place to be, so if you have an active pet we will get along great! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have; I would love to help you and your pup (or kitty!) as much as I can! I work out of Augusta Monday through Friday from 7-3 but have some flexibility within that. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am flexible to the needs of the family and their pet. I live near plenty of trails/beaches, and can be available for longer walks/hikes when requested!

About: I have 2 cats - the oldest one (Stevie showed above in his party outfit☺️) is 3! Prior to leaving home for clinical rotations was their primary caregiver. We got both as kittens and have had a great time all together since! I also had cats and dogs growing up.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our cats! This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have asked for more. Everything was done perfectly and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. We will definitely be looking to book you again in the future!”
“Claire took great care of my cat while I was away! She is very attentive to detail and did a great job of communicating with me during her visits. She sent lots of photos and my cat really loved seeing her!”
“Annebelle did such a good job with my pup! I needed to find a walker last minute and she was able to come by and my special old man dog absolutely loved her. 10/10 highly recommend”
“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.”
“Beth is fantastic! We were away for more than a week and she stayed with our cat (a sometimes challenging cat!), and he was incredibly cared for. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely have her care for our kitty again should the need arise. I can’t recommend Beth highly enough.”
About: Ever since i was little we've always had animals at home, I have experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I'm very attentive to pet behavior and i understand how important routines, patience, and trust are when caring for someone's pet, my number 1 priority is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently working part-time so Mondays-Fridays i am available to care for pets, i am able to do weekends if needed, but my schedule is pretty open! I have a Mini Austrailian Shepherd named Teagan who is my fur baby, she goes out about every two hours but if she really needs to go she will tell you, she gets along great with other dogs, and she is full of personality and loves to play!
“Amanda did a great job, sent many pictures and updates and was very clear about her availability ahead of time! Came home to a clean space and a well taken care of kitty. We were lucky to have her!”
“After we’d stayed home all through the Covid year, Jill was the first caregiver our 2 young kitties ever had. We were nervous to leave them, especially shy Jack. Well - no worries!! Jill has a calm, gentle demeanor and both cats quickly became comfortable with her. She’s responsive, reliable, and resourceful - she even found our extra birdseed to ensure the feeder outside the window (major cat entertainment!) stayed full. We definitely would recommend Jill!”
About: I've owned and taken care of cats since the age of 10, including scaredy cats, alley cats, fat cats, cool cats and jelicle cats! Kittens to seniors, healthy to infirm are all welcome. My last dear kitty had special needs, and many of my own and client cats have required daily fluids, injections, medications and other care. I am experienced and comfortable with all situations.
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my two shy kitties! I warned her that she’d probably only see them under the bed, but she sent photos of them out and about and bugging her for attention. I would definitely book again with her.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves attention, I'll provide patient, loving care while keeping their routine consistent. I'm experienced administering medications and will treat your cat like one of my own, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
“Brooke was terrific! She sent us plenty of photos, kept us up-to-date on our diabetic cat and was very comfortable calling or texting with questions (since we hadn't provided all of the answers). She was on time and extremely caring. We'll definitely be hiring her again.”

About: Growing up my home was filled with animals, we had dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish and hamsters. As an adult my life is quite similar. It is important to me that my children be raised around animals to learn to love and respect all life! I’m a stay at home wife and mother. My schedule is very flexible. My children are both in school so I have a lot of the middle of the day completely to myself (and my pets) I have a wonderful back yard along with two dogs to keep yours company! The house is completely pet friendly but we can always use fenced in safe areas or crates inside if needed.
“Highly recommend Jacki for anyone in or visiting the Rockland area. Pick-up and drop-off were a breeze. Our dog happily went right with her as if she knew her for forever and on the second day our dog gave full body wiggles when she realized she got to stay a second day. She was a happy and TIRED dog when we got home. Jacki's dogs were wonderful doggie hosts and welcoming friends.”
“I highly recommend Jessica to care for your dog. My dog Holly has broken out of her crate and is dealing with some anxiety lately and Jessica went out of her way to help comfort her and put my mind at ease. She asked detailed questions about how to care for Holly and sent pictures of Holly having fun and relaxing with Jessica and her family. She cared for Holly for several days and after the first day I knew Holly had found a perfect sitter. I will definitely be booking again with Jessica in the future!”

“Got some nice pics of Kolbe enjoying his day with Lindsay and the crew. She has a large open fenced area for them to play. He was quite tuckered out when he got home so it appears he used a lot of energy and had fun! Thanks Lindsay!”
“I found Tyler to be a very responsible dog owner who truly enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes. He is very compassionate, patient and understanding when it comes to ensuring your dog has a safe and fun filled day. Tyler and his dog Clarence treated my Great Dane puppy just like family. My puppy absolutely adores both of them tremendously!! I would highly recommend Tyler for your dog sitting needs. He goes above and beyond!”
“As usual- Liseli was wonderful!! We received wonderful pictures and reports. It was great being able to enjoy a day with family and know that Elvis was getting some special loving of his own!”
About: I have had dogs and cats most of my adult life. I truly love the bond between a pet and caregiver. I’m a true believer that pets are family and should be treated as such. I’m physically active and enjoy the outdoors. Experienced in basic care and needs of dogs and cats I work part time, and I am very flexible with my schedule. I would be open to overnights possibly depending on the length of time. I be would prefer to care for your pet in your home. I have a cat and it’s better for me to come to your home.

About: Dog care shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg! Whether you’re going on vacation or need some help after surgery, I’m more than happy to do anything and everything in between to help you and your pup(s) during your time of need! I work Mondays and Tuesdays 11p-7a so I can check in on pets late at night or early in the morning! Wednesday through Sunday I *only* do Rover, so I can focus on helping pet parents. I make sure to ask clarifying questions during meet and greets, then follow them to the T during visits in the future. Chores are done first if needed (cleaning litter box, letting out pups, food/water, etc) which I try to keep to under 10 minutes in order to give the majority of my time to the pet and spending time with them.
“Expert with dogs. Called with a last minute request and she managed to get my pup to behave. Responsible and responded swiftly to my requests. Would definitely book again. Thank you Hayleigh!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand just how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy drop-in visit, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Their comfort and happiness are my top priority—because when they’re happy, I’m happy too! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! This summer, I’m working just three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Once school starts again, my schedule will be even lighter, so I’ll have consistent availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality cuddle time. I love spending my downtime with animals—it’s genuinely one of the most rewarding and joyful parts of my day. Whether it’s early morning, mid-day, or evening visits, I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home during drop-ins and walks, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. During drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and spend quality time with them—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. For walks, I ensure your dog gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and potty breaks they need, always keeping safety a top priority. I tailor every visit to your pet’s routine and personality, so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away.
“I think that my dog Elsa can sense Melanie's love for dogs. During our earlier meet and greet, Elsa, a fairly shy dog, seemed comfortable with Melanie, going back to her for treats and pets. For this visit, Melanie showed up right on time, followed the plan we talked about, gave updates with photos, and gave a great, informative summary of the visit. We've rarely had carers/sitters for my dog, so I was very happy to see that Elsa seemed relaxed and calm when I got home. I would highly recommend Melanie with the experience and sense of responsibility she brings to the work. Thanks Melanie!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a dog and two cats that were truly part of our family, and I loved caring for them. As a teenager, I often house sat for neighbors with pets, which made me realize even more how much I enjoyed being around animals and taking care of them. Now as an adult, I have two beautiful golden retrievers, Sam and Penny, who bring so much joy to our family. They are spoiled and very loved; my family jokes that I love the dogs more than them sometimes, and honestly, they may not be completely wrong I work a remote job, I am always around for plenty of attention, potty breaks, play time, walks, and most importantly treats! When weather is warm enough we spend a lot of time on the lake. I have two friendly, loving, playful Golden Retrievers who are always looking to make new friends. We enjoy playing daily, taking walks down to the beach, and belly rubs with treats!
About: I'm a 53yr old, active woman who spent 15 years as an Animal Control Officer in my local towns and then with my local Sheriff's office.

I'm happy to stay with your pets or just stop in for a visit. I do not offer pet sitting in my home as my two rescues do not do well with other dogs. I will adhere to your wants and rules for your animals. I love my pets, and I will treat yours as if they are my own. But I will not do anything, give them anything, or let them do anything you do not approve of.
“I want to give a shout out to Marisol, who has now come several times to walk our dog and provide support if we are away during the day. She is always a great communicator, responsible and caring, and I have total confidence that our dog is in great hands when she comes.”

About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up caring for both dogs and cats and currently have two rescued German Shepherds of my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll do my best to follow their routine and give them the care they deserve. I have experience caring for large dogs, reactive dogs, senior pets, and cats with different personalities and needs. I am also comfortable giving oral medications and injections/shots when needed, following your pet’s care instructions carefully. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention.

Outside of school, I spend most of my time caring for my two German Shepherds, spending time with my two sisters, and enjoying walks by the water. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love being active and spending time outdoors. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and trusted environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk, I take the time to learn their routine, understand their needs, and build trust at their own pace. For dog owners: I am confident handling both large and small dogs, including those who may be reactive or require extra leash awareness. I focus on keeping walks safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s comfort level and personality while maintaining close attention to their surroundings. For cat owners: I offer drop-in visits for a time frame we discuss beforehand and will make sure your cat’s daily needs are met. Whether that includes feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with patience, kindness, and respect.

“I whole-heartedly recommend Pat for pet-sitting services! She is a dedicated and deeply caring person who understands dogs and their psyches very well. She also has excellent communication skills and patience! She went above and beyond during my dogs' stay with her to ensure their physical and - equally if not more important - psychological well-being.”
“My dog Suki had a great second overnight stay with Lindsay! Lindsay updated me with pictures of Suki playing with her new friends, and Suki was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Thanks so much, Lindsay!”
“Molly was great. She made us feel very comfortable about leaving Millie in her home. She sent us pics while we were dining of Millie which really helped as this was our first time using this service. Thanks Molly!”
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.
“Jacki fully understands puppies and has a special magic with them. She is kind and compassionate and and our Goldendoodle she had great fun playing with her and her two Goldens. Perfectly safe yard with a big field for running. And, extra bonus, she sent us pix of our puppy while we were away. Five stars for sure!”
“Melanie provided a safe, nurturing environment for our Lucy. She was warm and welcoming when we met, and clearly gave Lucy lots of love while she was in her care. She has a large yard for dogs to play. She sent me pictures every day, both of Lucy playing with the other dogs, as well as relaxing. I felt completely confident that Lucy was in the best of hands!”
“Brutus had another wonderful stay with Elizabeth and came back home happy and healthy. Brutus has colitis so its important that he eats only certain foods and Elizabeth did this perfectly for us. We got daily photos and a little report on his days activities and walks he had gone on. Couldn't be happier knowing our dog was safe and well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks Elizabeth!”
“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 🙂🙏🐕”
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a teenager! I am comfortable with Reactive, Aggressive and Nervous dogs. I have Three of my own nervous/reactive dogs! I've dog sat for family and friends along with having 4 of my own dogs! I've worked at a doggie daycare and have experience with particular routines that our pets have. I understand that dogs are our family and I will treat your pet just like they're my own! I am also experienced with large high energy dogs and Working dogs! I am currently working part time as my mom's cleaning business and I am Active in dog related activities. I do a lot with my own pups! I treat all dogs in my care as if they're my own! I use positive methods in handling dogs because they deserve the best and kindest care! I have puppy sat all sorts of dogs from huge Great Danes, high energy Malinois and adorable little Yorkies.
About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.
“Lacey gave Tonks love and enrichment; I could sense that Tonks felt relaxed and cared for during their time together. We definitely would choose Lacey, and her family, for a future dog-date!”
“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!”
“Tyler was great with Angel. We were visiting the area and needed somewhere for Angel to stay for two days. He took her for long walks with his dog which she loved. He kept us informed. I would recommend him for your dog sitting needs”
About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and all animals; my goal is to help families take off some pressure so both they and their pets can enjoy life to the fullest! I live in Wiscasset and would love to hang out with your furry pal! The outdoors are my favorite place to be, so if you have an active pet we will get along great! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have; I would love to help you and your pup (or kitty!) as much as I can! I work out of Augusta Monday through Friday from 7-3 but have some flexibility within that. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am flexible to the needs of the family and their pet. I live near plenty of trails/beaches, and can be available for longer walks/hikes when requested!
