“Beyond impressed and thankful for Jessica’s care of my fur baby! She treated him as family, kept me updated with loads of updates and photos! I cannot expresses enough how much I recommend Jessica for dog sitting!! I will definitely be booking with her again for my next time away!”
“We have a 4 year old weimaraner and 1 year old German shepard. We were nervous leaving our weimaraner, he's been at our side since a puppy, we knew our shepard would be fine. Ashen warmed up and did great, and Nova just loves everyone. Alex did great with sending pictures, and updates on our dogs, which I appreciate. We will definitely use her service again. We knew our pups were in great hands, we could worry less, and focus more on my extensive surgery I was having, and our 2 year old twins.”
“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!”
“Joseph was extremely responsive. We requested a meet and greet before our stay and he accommodated. He clearly has a knack for understanding dogs that run a little nervous. This was our first time boarding our dog Bernie and we will absolutely be repeat customers.”
“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.”

I have my own farm house in Swanville Maine, a very quiet and very peaceful place without many neighbors around, perfect for pets and very near from Belfast.
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have always worked with dogs. I have a specialty in dog grooming and can add that service if requested. I care for dogs like they are my family because they are. I work full time in my grooming business I am flexible and will do my best to fit anyone in to make sure their animals are well cared for in all capacity I have an outdoor kennel and grooming station in my home I have a big backyard and animals safety and care is always my top priority.
“We were in need of a replacement sitter for our dog Joey after her lifelong caregiver of 7 years retired. Lauren came through for us in a big way. Her quiet home and gentle nature were perfect for our girl and gave us peace of mind that she was in good hands while we were away visiting family. We will definitely continue to use her services going forward!”
“Tabrizia was amazing. My dog had a health crisis and Tabrizia and her husband handled it with great care and grace. They were so kind to my dog (and me). I would recommend them to anyone.”
“Gael and Bridget went above and beyond in caring for Coco. They took him on some fun adventures: canoeing, camping on a trampoline, hikes in the B woods etc with their own dog. .Coco was treated like a member of their family. I was so charmed and relieved to see photos and videos they sent often during our week apart. He received so much love that I wonder if he missed me as much as I missed him. I would not hesitate to schedule another home stay for him and in fact feel freer to do so now that I know he would be so well taken care of.”
“Bailey took excellent care of our beagle Sam! He had a great time playing with the other dogs and exploring their big yard and farm fields. Bailey sent regular updates and photos so we knew Sam was happy and not missing us too much. We are so grateful to have such a great place to leave him when we travel!”
“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 know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. Hosting: We have a family of 4 as of right now and one more on the way. My wonderful husband Jase helps welcome our furry guests with an abundance of belly rubs and play time, I have a 7 year old son who adores all of the pups we welcome in and always asks if they can stay a little longer. He helps get out any of that playful energy as well! We also have a 6 year old Corgi who can be sassy and jealous at the first meet (never any bites or fights, usually just a singular jealous grumble) but after a little butt sniffing and 10 minutes of meeting the pup she is totally fine. She’s very mellow and is now warmed up to us welcoming other pups into our home. She just has to go into the grass and do a few “territory kicks” to make sure the other pup knows that “this is her house” 😂. Since we do have a kiddo and I am currently expecting we do require a short meet and greet before every overnight/extended stay for everyone’s safety. House Sitting/Cat care: Unfortunately as of right now I can’t open up my house sitting services at this time, and can only visit cats if they do not require litter box cleaning (if you have an automatic litter box I can still come check on, feed and play with kitties though)! Drop In Visits with Pups: As of right now I am still currently accepting drop in visits for now, but do also require meet and greets before drop in visits as well. Thank you for considering me to care for your pups, and I can’t wait to meet you all! I am currently working as a house cleaner. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them! My partner, our 7 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together. While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!
“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!”

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.

About: Having been a lifelong cat owner, I see each cat as an individual. I work to build trust and a sense of safety with each cat I meet. I even have experience trick training cats using positive reinforcement! I have experience administering medication!
“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”
“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.”
“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 :-)”

Our own dogs spend multiple hours of the day playing inside and outside with each as well as with the people in our home. All pets are well taken care of and has their individual needs met.

About: I have had two dogs since I was 4 years old. Growing up I was always in charge of walking and feeding my dogs. I volunteered at a humane society when I was 15-18 years old where I learned how to professionally walk dogs in a safe manner for both of us. I also have experience in dog sitting for my neighbors during the summer. I am currently part-time so I am able to walk some doggies Monday mornings, Tuesday Mornings, Midday Wednesdays, Thursday mornings, and Friday-Sunday at any time. I can easily crate and feed dogs upon request, I am willing to work with whatever you would like inside your home as long as it is specified.

“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!”

About: I have 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, and I actually love being around them, and putting my skills to good use. They bring me great joy, and I try to reciprocate that. I would love to work locally so I am able to work my own hours around my grandsons educational needs, while providing income by doing what I love. I have my Veterinary Assistant certificate, and have experience in applying some medications. I am aware of the drastic New England temperatures, as I've lived her all my life, and I take that into great consideration when caring for the animals entrusted in my care. I appreciate your consideration. Thank you for your time. I am available seven days a week, 24/7 I can work a schedule with you, or be on call. I will send you pictures and updates, you can call to check in at anytime at all. I have always practiced safety first when working with animals. I truly love them all, and will take necessary precautions to prevent anything negative happening. I make them feel at home while in my care, they are allowed free range of my home. I know some dogs can go unleashed, but I do NOT let them off leash while in my care. I apologize for this, but I will walk them on a leash as many times as they like!
“Overall I am so impressed with the care given to my nervous 4 month old puppy. Provided was so many updates with pictures and videos, which definitely makes an anxious dog mom feel better! We can’t wait to book again for doggy daycare! No complaints and I couldn’t recommend their care more😊”
“Very caring couple of dog lovers. Our best buddy, Duffy, spent a day last week with Bridget and Gael. He is a nervous Nelly, but accepted his sitters without complaint. He made some new friends and was a happy pooch. We would not hesitate to have him cared for there again when we are in the Camden area.”
“Danielle welcomed Kassi into her calm home environment and took great care of her. She was responsive when we messaged her, and understanding of our fur baby’s quirks. Kassi even felt comfortable enough to eat a treat (something she never does day 1 in a new place). Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Nieves, and I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds and focus on providing loving, reliable, and attentive care. I work as a team with my roommate, Joseph Saccente, who is also an active Rover sitter. We coordinate schedules so your pet always has supervision and care. We’re generally available daily, except when fully booked or on a planned day off. Pets are welcome in our home and can relax on the couch, bed, or their own space—your choice. We have a large yard and two acres of unfenced land for supervised outdoor time. I’m happy to help with medications, vet visits, and special needs. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets get consistent attention and care throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I work as a team with my roommate to ensure pets are always supervised. In my home and in clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintain a calm environment, and provide consistent care and attention.
“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!”
“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!”
“Our dog Rosie had the absolute best time with Charlotte and her two adorable dogs! We are staying near Acadia and attended a wedding during our stay. Charlotte took the very best care of Rosie and we were thrilled that our best girl had the time of our life while we were away. We loved getting photos and updates from Charlotte of Rosie playing and running around outside, playing with toys inside and snuggling up at night. It was so clear that our girl was totally comfortable and so very loved. Charlotte was so personable and kind as we planned the details of our trip, and totally flexible with our timing. Working with Charlotte was all around the most perfect experience. Thank you so much!”
“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 🙂”
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.
About: From the time I was young, I’ve always had my own animals to include cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, and into my adult life. I continue to have dogs and ferrets as well as cats. My parents have always had dogs as well and have had a few litters of puppies that I have assisted with, and my dog has had her own litter of puppies so I’m very familiar with young dogs and training and patience. I’ve never worked in a vet clinic, but I have many years of clinical experience with humans so I do have that background. I work from home Monday through Friday and my home office is in our finished basement so the dogs have their own space in the basement with food, water, toys, beds, puppy pads as well as full access to my office to come and go as they please and they just spend the day with me while I’m working. We live on the lake so we don’t have a large yard but it’s also a private road so there’s no traffic and I have an outdoor pen for the dogs but when I’m not working, I also am outside with them so they are always being watched and tended to. I will take them swimming in the lake or out on the canoe if that is something that is OK with pet parents and we do go for walks in the mornings before I start my workday and at lunchtime if the weather permits.
“So happy we were able to get a last minute booking and was able to leave Mackie in such capable hands. Got feedback during the day and sitter was flexible about start and end times.”
“Kyle was fantastic! Our boys were in great hands. Before we left Kyle was already playing fetch with our Aussie and later we got photos of our chihuahua sound asleep on his lap. Kyle is great at communicating and he’s extremely kind and professional. We’d absolutely use him again. Thanks, Kyle!”

About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm originally from Northern California and moved to Maine in 2025. Growing up I always had dogs (and sometimes cats), and learned to take care of pets from a young age.

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’ve taken care of dogs cats rabbits and horses ever since I was 10. I’ve cared for new born kittens as well as senior cats at the Humane Society for almost 10 years. And cared for my neighbors’ dogs. From volunteering I’ve learn much about behaviors for both dogs and cats and have discovered I have a talent for working with them. I decided at retiring that I would like to begin in home pet sitting earning a living. I also manage an Airbnb with pets and have had great experiences with both dogs and and cats. I’m available all times but desire at least a week in advance notice. Daily weekly and hourly with breaks when needed for managing my Airbnb. Usually to clean after check out. Also per your needs I will need to have a brief break in the day to drive home to make sure my cats are fed and happy with some play time if I am asked to do overnights. I have 4 cats now. They get fed on special foods on a schedule. When they are eating I clean their cat boxes and when they are finished, I clean their bowls. Before they begin their daily naps , I play with each of them. They range in age from 19 to 1 yr. I also check their water bowls throughout the day or night depending. I can give them treats anytime. I also have learned various medical skills and hope to go back to school for a third degree as a vet tech and if life allows veterinary practice.

For active dogs, I can offer long walks, hiking trips, and plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re exercised and entertained. I am self employed and manage my day to day schedule with lots of flexibility. I am happy to coordinate my schedule to accommodate you and your pet's needs! When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment that caters to each pet’s specific needs. My home is fully pet-proofed and provides cozy spaces for lounging, sleeping, and playing. I ensure that pets have access to toys, beds, and safe areas to explore. I follow the pet's regular feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent. I take time to learn about their habits to make them feel at home. Depending on the pet’s needs, I offer regular walks, backyard play, or indoor activities to ensure they stay active and happy. If the pet is anxious or shy, I provide a quiet space to relax and make sure they feel secure with gradual introductions to new surroundings. In your home I maintain the pet’s normal routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I ensure their home is kept tidy and comfortable for both them and the pet parent. Many pets feel more secure in their familiar environment. I take care to create a calm atmosphere by minimizing disruptions and ensuring they have their favorite toys, bed, and comfort items. I offer tailored care based on the pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, specific diets, or behavioral routines. Just like in my home care, I update the client regularly with pictures and reports, ensuring they are always in the loop.

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”

About: Hello, my name is Libby! I have had pets my whole life and currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I also grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of different animals.

I am available 7 days a week usually, and am almost always available for overnight care or boarding I have 2 dogs and a cat if my own so if I am boarding your animal they will have to get along with others. All of my animals are very friendly and well trained. I can provide almost any service at my house or am willing to stay at your home. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
About: I have been around animals all my life, ranging from animals like horses to birds. I have cared for elderly/injured animals before, who have needed supports walking/using the restroom/feeding. Through family and friends I’ve watched over many pets! I currently nanny for a family, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule especially during the school year!I have free hours throughout the day ,everyday! I can handle special requests for animals, private areas for walking/playing. I’d treat each animal like my own, respecting certain boundaries that there may be.

“Beyond impressed and thankful for Jessica’s care of my fur baby! She treated him as family, kept me updated with loads of updates and photos! I cannot expresses enough how much I recommend Jessica for dog sitting!! I will definitely be booking with her again for my next time away!”
“We have a 4 year old weimaraner and 1 year old German shepard. We were nervous leaving our weimaraner, he's been at our side since a puppy, we knew our shepard would be fine. Ashen warmed up and did great, and Nova just loves everyone. Alex did great with sending pictures, and updates on our dogs, which I appreciate. We will definitely use her service again. We knew our pups were in great hands, we could worry less, and focus more on my extensive surgery I was having, and our 2 year old twins.”
“Joseph was extremely responsive. We requested a meet and greet before our stay and he accommodated. He clearly has a knack for understanding dogs that run a little nervous. This was our first time boarding our dog Bernie and we will absolutely be repeat customers.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“We were in need of a replacement sitter for our dog Joey after her lifelong caregiver of 7 years retired. Lauren came through for us in a big way. Her quiet home and gentle nature were perfect for our girl and gave us peace of mind that she was in good hands while we were away visiting family. We will definitely continue to use her services going forward!”
“Bailey took excellent care of our beagle Sam! He had a great time playing with the other dogs and exploring their big yard and farm fields. Bailey sent regular updates and photos so we knew Sam was happy and not missing us too much. We are so grateful to have such a great place to leave him when we travel!”

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!”
About: I provide calm, reliable care in a quite setting. I have plenty of fenced in outdoor space for dogs to explore and get exercise. I will make sure they feel at home and well cared for. Relaxing or active your pet will enjoy their stay. I currently work as a B&B host in the summers, leaving my winters, fully open schedule wise. Hosting for over four years so I know how to make sure you get a five star experience. We have a fenced yard hard floors, dog kennels, and everything a dog would need. I have a golden retriever named Sadie, who is very sociable goes to the dog park super friendly. I work for myself managing properties and are able to bring any pets with me to job sites if needed.
About: I've always had dogs or cats as pets. I currently have 2 dogs now. Dashy is 16 year old Dashhound who was severely neglected and abandoned at 13 and Beau now 8 is a Rat Terrier mix adopted as a puppy. Both boys are very friendly, happy, healthy and quite spoiled. I also have my Pet CPR & First Aid cert from Red Cross as well as some behavioral training. I work best senior, handicapped and terminally ill pets though the fee may change depending of medical need. I'm retired and I have full daily availability from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and some night time availability as well as overnights. I have a fenced/blocked back yard, another fur baby and plenty of room for them to play. Grass, gazebo and lawn Charis for them! The inside is spacious and safe for dogs and dog friendly cats.
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.
“Five stars every single time! This was Dash’s second stay, and just like before, he came home completely exhausted and incredibly happy. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in the absolute best hands. Highly recommend!”
“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”
“This was Lily's second time staying with Nicole. Nicole and her family took great care of our dog, Lily while we were away. She was great with communication and sent pictures of Lily almost every day. We highly recommend her!”
