“Sarah was amazing with Tank. We were worried as he shows some early signs of anxiety and guarding and had never been left anywhere overnight before, but he took well to Sarah and her family. She was stern in helping him learn how to behave and helped give us tips as well on how we can continue to train him! She was easy to talk to and gave great feedback daily on his wellbeing and growth. We will definitely be rebooking with Sarah again!”
“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”
“Marissa is always thoughtful and sweet with my boy, Blue. When we have to leave him, he knows he gets to have a sleepover with his pal Marissa, and it’s like a mini dog vaca for him too. We have such a better time knowing that he’s in great hands!”
“Natalie was the best. She is so kind and took such care of our Louie. She was really tuned in to him and what he needed and was in touch with us to share photos and updates. I don't see how we could have found a better sitter for our dog.”
“Alyx accommodated last minute changes in the booking. She communicated well while I was away and sent two photos. I have used her services once for in-home sitting and this time for boarding in her home and would use again.”
“Finding someone that you can trust that will care for and love your fur baby as you do can be challenging. We were able to find someone and more in Robin. From the moment we started taking to the meet and greet to leaving Remy with her for a few days was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and fast right from the beginning. We weren't gone long before she was already sending pictures which is something we said we would take any time.. throughout our few days away we received many updates and pictures and from the pictures we could see that Remy was very happy and being cared and loved just as we do. Robin's compassion to take care of and spend time with animals is very clear. Remy even seemed a little sad after we picked him up and brought him home like he missed her and her fun dog Stella. We can't recommend Robin enough and we will definitely be using again!”
“Micheala was fantastic with my dogs. They got to be part of her family for a week long vacation. They had plenty of room to roam about and fun playing with her family. Will definitely book again! ~ Michaela was also very accommodating with my flaky schedule!!! Thanks again!!”
“Alex was so great with my dog Cora! She's a newly adopted rescue, so I was nervous about how she would handle a new place/person but Alex helped her settle right in. She even made a few new doggy friends while she was there! Alex kept me updated on her & sent me pics, which definitely helped with my anxiety about her adjusting. I will definitely be booking Alex again next time I have to go out of town.”
“This is our second time boarding Curt with Chelsea. She took very good care of him while we were on vacation and sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her anytime!”
“Atlas had such a fun and great time! Lindsay did such a great job and highly recommend her! We will be using her once again and future wise for any boarding needs! She even gave us a nice report card on how well Atlas did! We are very happy with the service!”
About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.
About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
About: I grew up with two cats and have always been surrounded by animals, especially dogs. I have a strong love for pets and understand how I’m important it is for them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Throughout college, I have regularly helped care for my friends’ dogs, including providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I am comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and will always treat your pet like they are my own. I am currently a college student on summer break, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Right now, I work a part-time job Monday–Wednesday, but I will be fully done working in about a week and will have full availability to provide care, attention, and support for your pets. I enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and creating a routine, so pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important it is for pets to have consistency and attention, and I would love the opportunity to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a big back yard with lots of room to play and an air conditioned house. I’ll follow your pets routine and can be crated if needed!
“Jennifer welcomed our dog Maggie into her home for several days while we were away. I felt comfortable with Jennifer from our first conversation; she has extensive experience as a Vet Tech, but is also friendly and kind. Maggie was treated like part of Jennifer’s family and was well cared for during her stay. I am so glad we found her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Matthew took great care of Lucy during the holidays! She came back home happy and with a new toy!! Thank you very much for caring so much about Lucy and taking great care of her, Matt. We really appreciate it!”
“My pup was well taken care of. She was happy and tired when we picked her up and she made some new friends, too! Very good communication and sent us many photos while we were gone.”
“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!”

“Jen was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and we felt comfortable knowing our cats were well cared for while we were away. She was kind enough to bring in a large package that arrived while we were gone. We’d rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“Alyx was a wonderful sitter. I enjoyed her enthusiasm for animals and felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She sent lots of photos and was responsive and communicative. I'd be delighted to have her again.”
About: I have always had at least one pet in my household—the more the merrier! I have owned cats since childhood and currently have 4. Though I don’t currently have a dog, I love my friends’ and neighbors dogs as if they were my own and constantly drop by the visit and walk them. I am experienced with kittens and puppies as well as older pets. I currently work from home with very flexible hours, so I can usually come by with short notice! If you’d like me to stick around all day, I can bring my laptop and work from your home so that I can provide constant company for your pet. I have very few meetings during the day so I can provide lots of cuddles, walks, play, and attention all day long. I am well attuned to cat and dog body language and know when to provide space, take things slow to gain trust, and when pets are ready to play. I always make sure to keep dogs on leashes when they are outside, and as an owner of two escape artist cats I know to always make sure the doors are closed behind me! I know that pet owners know their pets best, so I will always listen to your experience and input regarding how to best care for your pet.
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was a small child. I’m a huge animal lover, and I have experience that ranges from puppies to senior dogs. Also experienced in some livestock care! I work part-time, so I have great flexibility in my schedule. I’m also available most weekends so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I’m incredible attentative and responsible (this includes duty pick up!), knowledgeable on walking dogs of various temperaments and levels of reactivity. Also experienced with a variety of “no-pull” harness styles.
“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”
About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.
About: I have both personal and professional experience taking care of pets. Specifically I have experience walking and training dogs of all ages. I also have experience taking care of sick animals and ensuring they get medication and food as needed. As previous dog walker, I am excited to help take care of your loved pet. Happy to take pups on walks and ensure all pets are happy and fed. I care for pets the way their parents do. I make sure to follow closely to the routines set by you for your pets and ensure there is a seamless transition of care while you are away.
“Stephanie was wonderful with my two cats! She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me photos of them everyday. It was so nice to go away and know they were being well taken care of.”
“Jackie was great. She came back for an extra visit to be sure our pup had another chance to go to the bathroom. We'll definitely ask for her help next time we have to leave our pup at home.”
About: I’ve always had a love for cats and animals in general. I grew up with two cats of my own and even fostered cats when I was younger, which helped me learn how to care for cats with different personalities and needs. I love how every cat has their own little personality, whether they’re playful, cuddly, shy, or more independent. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving attention and affection, and making sure cats feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your cat with the same love and care I would give my own.
About: I’ve had pet dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve always loved taking care of them, and being someone that they can rely on. Caring for animals is a big part of my life and something I hope to be forever passionate about! I am working full-time for the summer. I am a college student who will be going back to part time in the fall to finish my last year. I’m mostly free in the evenings and on odd days during the week since I work a rotating schedule. The fall will look different as I’ll be working part-time while also going to school! I’ve been handling large dogs since I was a young teenager, so I’m very comfortable with all types of breeds. I’d consider myself very gentle when it comes to animal care.
About: I am an animal lover who would love to provide care to your pet so you don't have to worry about leaving them at home while you're at work or on vacation! My services include dog-walking, drop-in visits to check on and play with your pup, overnight boarding if you're away on vacation (at my home or yours), or dog-sitting for the day while you're at work. I have experience with volunteering at various animal shelters, caring for dogs on Rover for several years, owning several family dogs growing up, and spending time with my parents dog, Boomer (a rescue Shih-tzu yorkie mix), my sisters dog Lola (a mini schnauzer) and my in-laws’ golden retriever, Remi. As of June, we also have a golden retriever puppy of our own who adores other dogs, so it is important that your dog gets along with other dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I love hanging out with the doggos and will be flexible with our activities based on their age, activity level and owner preferences. I love exercising and being outdoors so I’m always willing to go for walks or hikes with your dog! Or if they’re older I can stay in and relax with them too 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule and am home a lot so will be able to devote lots of attention to your furry friend. My husband and I live in a home on 5 acres on a quiet rural road in Maine that is perfect for taking dogs for walks or a swim in the pond (if their parents say yes!). Your dog will have plenty of room in the house and on our land to play and go for walks down our quiet road. I also am able to travel to your home to watch your dog too.
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life. I’m the go to person in my family and friends group when someone needs help with their cats whether it’s getting medications into them or basic grooming. I’ve worked in a boarding facility where I cleaned up after cats daily and fed daily along with giving medications some oral and some injectable.
About: I started a career in dog care in 2010. I have extensive experience with all dog breeds in boarding, day care, training, grooming and vet tech. I then began rescuing Pugs and have my 5th one currently. I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible schedule. Let's see what works for both of us. I'm available as often as needed and I have reliable transportation available I have a dog park across the street but also plenty of regular walking trails if your pet isn't social. My dog is very friendly and always happy to make a new friend

About: I have experience with puppies, training, dogs with anxiety, geriatric dogs and more. I also have experience with complex health needs and care in dogs. I work from home as a travel agent. I realized one of the biggest concerns for travelers was their dogs and the thought of having to use kennel services. Since I have the ability to be with the dogs all day it made sense to offer my home and a family setting. Our dog Sweety sleeps with us at night and so do our guest dogs. Unless that isn’t happening at home. The dogs we care for are like family during their visit. We live in a very private setting. While we don’t have fencing, we do have a large private yard on a private dirt road. We live on 5 acres.
“Marissa watched our dogs when we went skiing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them with her! They had a great time at her house and she sent us pictures of their day. She was incredibly nice and we will definitely reach out again!!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I am a reliable pet sitter with several years of animal care experience. I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs, cats and other pets of all sizes and ages! I am patient and committed to maintaining your pet’s routine while you are away. I offer dog boarding, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I live in a country setting with a very large backyard that provides plenty of space for exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I also have a beautiful walking trail and a 40 acre field directly off my backyard for dogs that love to run! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your pet care needs or to schedule a meet and greet! Since pet care is my full-time focus, I’m able to stay consistent with feeding times, potty breaks, and any special instructions. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care and maintain each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I have three small, friendly Chihuahuas and a cat. They’re all well behaved and have always done well with other animals. If needed, I can easily keep them on a separate floor to make sure visiting pets feel comfortable and have their own space.
“Chelsea has been watching my brand new pup for a couple of days while I am at work and when I come to pick him up he wants to stay and play! She has kept me updated throughout the day which I so appreciate!”
“Robin was excellent!! She was very attentive and sent lots of pictures and videos. My pup has some quirks, especially with big dogs but Robin knew exactly how to introduce Steiny to her dog Stella. Stella was also clearly a pro at dealing with the smaller more neurotic fuzz balls lol. It looked like they were best buds by the end. Very much appreciated Robin accommodating my last minute request! Will definitely be reaching out again.”

We are also located near parks which I take my own dog to on a daily basis
“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”
“Our little beagle was safe and comfortable for his day with Natalie. We appreciated Natalie’s responsiveness, and her openness about how Charlie would fit with other dogs in her care. It was all good!”

“Jackie did a wonderful job. She was honest with her appraisal of Mortys ability to be with other dogs at this time. Our pup has some anxiety issues and only spends his time in our home with our other dog. Jackie also provided us with some alternative sitters and trainers. All in all a good experience.”
“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!”
“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!”

“Marissa was amazing! As a first time user of Rover, I was not familiar with the process. Marissa explained the steps to follow and accepted my booking even though it was very short notice. She even made sure to fit in a visit prior to the dog walking dates to make sure Shadow and I were comfortable. Shadow was well taken care of and I could tell from the various pictures Marissa provided, he was enjoying his time with her! I would not hesitate to book Marissa again in the future!! Five stars!!!”

About: I've always had pets in my house so what sets me apart is the constant, undivided attention your pet will receive. Because I work entirely from home, your dog will never be left alone for long stretches or have their routine disrupted. I naturally integrate frequent potty breaks, midday play sessions, and mental enrichment into my daily workflow.

I also work with someone at a few locations near wayne. therefore, I am available on certain weekdays from 10am to 4pm on mondays, and I can work all day on saturdays.

“Sarah was amazing with Tank. We were worried as he shows some early signs of anxiety and guarding and had never been left anywhere overnight before, but he took well to Sarah and her family. She was stern in helping him learn how to behave and helped give us tips as well on how we can continue to train him! She was easy to talk to and gave great feedback daily on his wellbeing and growth. We will definitely be rebooking with Sarah again!”
“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”
“Marissa is always thoughtful and sweet with my boy, Blue. When we have to leave him, he knows he gets to have a sleepover with his pal Marissa, and it’s like a mini dog vaca for him too. We have such a better time knowing that he’s in great hands!”
“Natalie was the best. She is so kind and took such care of our Louie. She was really tuned in to him and what he needed and was in touch with us to share photos and updates. I don't see how we could have found a better sitter for our dog.”
“Alyx accommodated last minute changes in the booking. She communicated well while I was away and sent two photos. I have used her services once for in-home sitting and this time for boarding in her home and would use again.”
“Micheala was fantastic with my dogs. They got to be part of her family for a week long vacation. They had plenty of room to roam about and fun playing with her family. Will definitely book again! ~ Michaela was also very accommodating with my flaky schedule!!! Thanks again!!”
“Alex was so great with my dog Cora! She's a newly adopted rescue, so I was nervous about how she would handle a new place/person but Alex helped her settle right in. She even made a few new doggy friends while she was there! Alex kept me updated on her & sent me pics, which definitely helped with my anxiety about her adjusting. I will definitely be booking Alex again next time I have to go out of town.”
“This is our second time boarding Curt with Chelsea. She took very good care of him while we were on vacation and sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. Would highly recommend her anytime!”
“Atlas had such a fun and great time! Lindsay did such a great job and highly recommend her! We will be using her once again and future wise for any boarding needs! She even gave us a nice report card on how well Atlas did! We are very happy with the service!”
About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.
About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
“Jennifer welcomed our dog Maggie into her home for several days while we were away. I felt comfortable with Jennifer from our first conversation; she has extensive experience as a Vet Tech, but is also friendly and kind. Maggie was treated like part of Jennifer’s family and was well cared for during her stay. I am so glad we found her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Matthew took great care of Lucy during the holidays! She came back home happy and with a new toy!! Thank you very much for caring so much about Lucy and taking great care of her, Matt. We really appreciate it!”
“My pup was well taken care of. She was happy and tired when we picked her up and she made some new friends, too! Very good communication and sent us many photos while we were gone.”
“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!”
“Larissa is absolutely wonderful! Rupert greatly enjoyed his stay in her safe and loving home. You can tell she genuinely cares for your animal as if they were her own. Larissa provided photos throughout the week and a recap of their adventures. Definitely recommended!”
“Craig did a great job of babysitting our dog Heiwa for two weeks. We received an update with pictures almost every day we were gone, including pictures of Heiwa romping on the beach with Craig and his dog Penny. I highly recommend him if you need a dog sitter. We will definitely use him again next time we need a sitter!”
