“Bri was a great sitter for Freddie. Both before and during his stay she was very communicative. Freddie was nervous about being away from home, she kept us updated throughout the day and I knew he was in good hands. If we visit the area and need a sitter again, Bri will be our only call!”
“Rebecca was great! We boarded our two Australian Shepards with her for the week we went on vacation. She was extremely responsive, provided frequent updates and photos, and even did pickup and drop off for our two dogs! We appreciate her service and would definitely book with her again.”
“Alina was very responsible and considerate of my dog's needs. I really appreciate her commitment to the task of taking care of my dog and would gladly recommend her, and/or book with her again.”
“Austin, Francis, and the kids were amazing with our high energy shepard/beagle mix. They adjusted their schedules and came up with innovative ways to tire her out using the collective strength which is no small feat. I couldn’t imagine leaving Millie with any other family. Thank you again!!”
“Amazing family with great kids who love animals! We are well updated with photos for our dog. Cassidy gave great assurance on the 2D1N boarding. Already arranged for the next boarding period!”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“heidi took thoughtful and loving care of my complicated and shy mastiff, fanny!! i had never felt comfortable leaving her behind before but heidi made me feel completely at ease—thank you heidi!”
“Christina is just plain awesome. She updates me with pictures and detailed descriptions of what she’s up to with my pup and it makes me feel so comfortable!! You can genuinely tell she just loves animals and that’s something that makes me feel at ease when I drop off Maverick (not to mention he gets so excited to see her now). My doggo comes home happy and exhausted everytime we book with her!! I am so glad I found Christina :)”
“Kimberly was absolutely AMAZING! My little yorkie Phoenix is my whole heart so I'm VERY protective of him and cautious about who I allow to care for him because he's so small. I had to go out of town for a few days and needed to board him while I was gone. I scrolled through several profiles on Rover and finally found Kimberly. She, Phoenix, and I video chatted a day or two before his visit to get acquainted and to discuss Phoenix's care. That call put me so at ease. Immediately upon meeting her in person, Phoenix was in love! Kimberly was great about providing updates and pictures during his stay which allowed me to relax while I was away, knowing that he was loved, safe and happy. We will definitely ask her to care for him again in the future! Thank you, Kimberly!!!! ❤️ ❤️”
“Alicia abs her wonderful children and husband could not have been more lovely, kind, accommodating, and thoughtful! We are so very grateful. Our pup, Gertie, has never bonded better with a family in a short time. We even got such sweet pictures during her stay. Definitely book with Alicia if you can! What a positive experience. Much appreciation!!”
“Highly recommend! We have a 10 month old Irish Setter puppy and had her set to go to a kennel. We found the kennel was awful, but we had to leave her as we were heading out of the country the same day. I found Gabrielle and Sara through Rover and they responded immediately. They went over and picked up our girl first thing the next day and took great care of her for two weeks. I regularly received pictures and updates. She was well taken care of and happy pup when I returned home. I highly recommend them.”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“Christina was really great with Cosmo and is experienced in dog behaviour and handling. I was nervous as Cosmo hasn't stayed in a kennel before but she handled it great and Cosmo had a great time! She was detailed in asking questions to ensure she had all the information to provide the best care for him.”
“My big boy is so sensitive and so spoiled. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family. We had a family event and our floors were getting done so I explored Grover for this reason. I felt so nervous! But, I had nothing to worry about with Rebecca! She sent me pictures and reassurance throughout his stay. He had a blast! Thank you, Rebbecca! It was a wonderful experience for all of us! I can’t say enough, kind words to express how grateful we are…..”
“First time i left my dog with someone i didnt know, it was great! Trisha sent me photos, and updates time to time, my dog came back home happy and healthy. Totally recommend!!! ”
“Connor was great with our dog Bolt! This was our first time going through the app, she made it very easy. We were bringing Bolt to a boarding place nearby but would always feel very on edge and worrying while on vacation. He would come home from the boarding place and his elbows were very rough and red and he would be so thirsty. I picked him up from Connor and he was fine, like he never left home. He was a little tired but that’s to be expected going to a new place. Connor’s house was clean and she has a very nice yard and large covered porch she sat under with him. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. As soon as I met her and she met my dog, I knew we were going to be good! I plan to bring him to her again soon and will continue to for as long as I can!”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”
“Katie was fantastic! Super helpful and communicative setting everything up for our first time with her. Kept the dogs loved and entertained (including a pool party!) while we were vacationing. And they came home looking better than when we left. Will definitely want to have them spend time with Katie again in the future.”

About: I've had dogs all of my life. All of my dogs I rescued, Rosco from North Carolina, Athena from Puerto Rico, Otis a Maine resident (my other half best friend) ,Piglet from Georgia and Thia from Saint Thomas. I've always had a love and special way with dogs. It's all about time and patience they are 4 legged kids. Ive introduced a senior dog who was not fond of other dogs to his new sister and they lived happily in the house together. I've had alot of experience with senior dogs dealing with hip issues and mobility. I am also a pitbull mom so I know all about their attitude. I have went through obedient school and have learned alot and plain on continue training not just for my self but for the dogs we have to be trained just as much as they do. I'm currently working 7 to 3 M-F but have time at night and on weekends in my daily schedule that I would love to fill and what better way then spending with animals. I treat my pets as if they are kids because they are my kids! I'm a dog mom. My dogs have a fenced in back yard they always run around in.
“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”
“Amy was personable and professional, and she kept in touch with photo updates when we were away. I believe our sweet kitty was well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
“Martha did a great job of looking after my cat Osiris while I was away for the holidays. She sent daily pictures as requested for my peace of mind, reached out promptly when there were any issues, and was very understanding and accommodating when my planned pickup time got a bit wobbly due to travel issues. Will definitely be booking again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Hannah is the BEST!!! I had to be in and out of town for work for two weeks, although my schedule was not consistent at all Hannah was up for the last-minute challenge of watching over Maisey and adhering to my crazy schedule. Hannah showed up on time and spent her time with Maisey (a true senior citizen) giving her the love and attention I hoped for. Turns out I have another crazy week coming up and Hannah was quick to sign up for more visits. Hannah is a true 5 star!!!”

“Cassandra was wonderful with our rambunctious dog and easygoing cat. She was flexible and reliable, communicated clearly, and sent great pictures. We came home to happy animals. Would definitely book Cassandra again!”
“Eliot recently took care of my cat Sophie while I was gone for 10 days. This was the longest amount of time I've ever left Sophie, so I was a little nervous about how she would handle it. Eliot was a great comfort from the start. First, she has a kitty herself so I knew she would understand how to care for mine. Eliot is also super responsive, which is definitely a comforting quality in a pet sitter. I loved getting messages with pictures of Sophie while I was gone and seeing Sophie all curled up on Eliot's lap!”

About: Welcome to our home! My husband, Zach, and I are lifelong animal lovers and understand how important it is to find a safe, loving place for your pet while you’re away. We live in a spacious home with both upstairs and downstairs areas, giving dogs plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable. I prefer well-trained, housebroken pets. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Dogs staying with us will enjoy regular walks and lots of attention. If your dog enjoys car rides, we can also go on adventures to local walking trails, parks, or other pet-friendly outings with your permission. Whether your pup prefers playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, we’ll do our best to make them feel right at home. We also have a cat named Phoebe. She is friendly but generally keeps to herself and stays out of the way of visiting pets.

When caring for your pet in your home, my top priority is to maintain a sense of consistency and security by following their established routine as closely as possible. I understand that pets thrive on familiarity — with their surroundings, feeding times, walking schedules, and the comforting rituals they’re used to. By preserving these routines, I help ensure that your pet feels safe, calm, and confident in your absence. I take the responsibility of entering someone’s home very seriously and treat every space with the utmost respect and discretion. I’m mindful of your home’s cleanliness, privacy, and any specific instructions you leave — from alarm codes and feeding schedules to favorite toys and bedtime habits. I also provide regular updates, including messages, photos, and notes about how your pet is doing, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

Above all, my goal is to create a trustworthy and stress-free experience — for both you and your pet — by providing compassionate, dependable care in an environment where they feel most at ease: home.

About: I have had a dog at least 20 years. We occasionally have a Labrador a week at a time, he has full run of the house. I do not work, so I am home most of the time. I do local Arts Markets, but those aren't long days. A dog would get lots of attention. I have a fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for playing. The house is one floor, which would be easier on older dogs.
About: I have always had dogs but am currently without one after my 16-year-old golden retriever passed away. I am comfortable working with dogs of all ages, and understand how their needs, routines and personalities change throughout their lives. I live in a quiet community with beach access a short walk away. If you have a pup that loves to swim, go on adventures or walks, or simply spend time outside, I would be a great fit. While your away, you can be sure they too are enjoying a mini vacation. I can work from home so your dog will not be lonely during the day. There are some days I may not be home all day, but I will be sure to give them plenty of exercise with time to run, play or swim in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I also have a life jacket for those dogs who are not strong swimmers or who may want a little extra support in the water. I've not crated any of my dogs, but if you are more comfortable with crating, I can accommodate that if you bring yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a small side yard, access to trails and a beach so they will get plenty of time outside.
“It was a pleasure to have our whippet puppy Fern cared for by Cassidy and Cody while on vacation in Cape May. Cassidy and Cody were so laid back, relaxed and flexible when it came times and days we needed care for Fern. Fern was nervous at first meeting and staying with new friends Gus, (their dog) and their 2 children, but she was wagging her tail and so excited to go back to their house the following day! Fern got extra walks, and even went to the beach with them! We felt very comfortable leaving our baby In their care! I also appreciated getting text and picture updates of how Fern was doing throughout the day. I would definitely reach out to Cody and Cassidy again for dog sitting when we are in the area.”
About: I have owned many dogs over the years plus have over 7 years in the dog rescue business. Having volunteered with Legacy Humane Society based in McKinney, Texas as a foster, mentor, board member, event planner, social media lead and more, I've gained knowledge and learned so much! I am familiar with medications, oral and injectable and comfortable administering if needed. I have fostered pregnant dogs, birthed litters and raised them, fostered 150 lb great danes and a 15 lb chihuahua. Our most recent two pets were a black lab that passed away of old age and currently own a 40 lb mutt. I love dogs and miss fostering since we travel on the road. I have also helped care for my Mom's 90 lb Cane Corso who had to have insulin injections twice per day.
“What a wonderful place to take Chester for the day! It was so cozy I was kind of wishing I could stay for the day, too. Thank you Kim for your kindness and for taking such great care of Chester!”
“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”
“Juno had a great time with Kate and John! We got updates throughout her stay and she slept for 12 hours when we got her home!!! Would highly recommend their services if in the NOCO area!”
About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.
“Becky is as close to perfect as one can get. She is thoughtful, caring, happy and reliable. Seriously do not know what we’d do without her to care for our very shy doggie - who can get into trouble now and then and she goes out of her way to help when we need, Thank you Becky 💛💛💛 Nothing but respect!”
About: I have had Labrador retrievers my whole life! And, 2 years ago fostered my cousin’s English bulldog for 6 months, while she was moving to ME! Friends and family ask me to watch their pups first, because they know I treat them like my own!! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! Our 3 boys are my children. Once we wake up we head right outside, then we do breakfast, rest for a moment or two after eating, and then back outside for walks or play time! We also love car rides, cuddles, hiking, etc! Dogs that come to stay with us just fall right into our routines. Dogs are awesome, and deserve to be treated as such! We have 18 acres in Buxton! Perfect for dogs to play, and enjoy time outside. In our home pets are like family! They are welcome on furniture to get comfy.

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior care and young puppies (which I currently have a 9 week old maltipoo). I am very comfortable with various breeds and temperaments. I pride myself on being extremely reliable and communicative, providing you with peace of mind through photo updates and regular check-ins. I am happy to follow any specific feeding or medical routines your dog requires. I am a stay-at-home mom with a 5-year-old daughter, so our schedule is very flexible. We are looking to fill our days with animal companionship and can provide a consistent routine for your pet. Whether it’s mid-day walks or all-day snuggles, we have plenty of time and love to give! When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect and follow your safety protocols to the letter. I am experienced in maintaining home security while ensuring your pet feels secure and loved in their own environment. I provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have over 10 years experience with sitting cats, dogs and other small animals. Most of my pet-sitting clients are repeat families I’ve connected with through the local community. I have experience with extended in-home pet sitting, including overseeing household upkeep while clients are away. I am comfortable administering any oral medications needed, with provided instructions and tips. I love keeping you updated with photos and videos while you’re away and making sure your pet is happy, relaxed, and thriving! I have a flexible work schedule to be able to stay with your pets, or visit a number of times through out the day, to help accommodate your needs. I have experience in others homes where the pets feel most comfortable, and usually have a routine I can help maintain while your away! I also will attend to any other home chores like house plants, small pets like fish, or any problems that arise I will be sure you are aware right away.
About: I am a lover of animals who prioritizes their, safety, health & happiness. I have years of experiencing sitting for and walking dogs and taking care of cats. I've worked with dogs with health-related medication needs, including insulin shots, rescues who take a little time to get used to someone new, and excitable puppies. I enjoy my time with animals -- they make me feel peaceful and energized, so, taking care of them is a win-win! I am always careful to follow any instructions provided around details of care -- feeding, walking, preferences around behavior or routine, let me know -- I'm here to help put you at ease while you're away from your pet. I work full-time during on weekdays in Boston starting in the afternoons, so while I am available weekday mornings, it would be more for jobs before 10am to leave time for my commute. Weekends I usually have a lot of flexibility & I'll do my best to get back to you quickly.
“Eliot is great with my dog! She always makes sure to update me and provide photos, is very consistent and easy to work with. Highly recommend for walks & boarding!”
About: I have been caring for animals basically my entire life. It's not unusual for me to spend two weeks at a clients home to watch their dogs while they are on the road, vacation etc. I have experience with my own animals as well. I've raised many types of animals including but not limited to dogs,cats, reptiles, farm animals, etc. I was the person that fed them, walked them, provided comfort and performed any other necessary tasks needed in order to make sure the animals needs are met. Currently I have a very open schedule. My schedule is open to play, watch, feed, walk or whatever you need me to do. Occasionally I have a meeting or appointment other than that I am free. I will make sure your pet is safe while in my care whether it be on a walk or playing outside and I will supervise your pet around any other animals.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have one dog of my own. She is my world. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. At 42 y/o I am going back to school! Working full time doesn't work with my schedule. Gigging does, plus I can do what actually love! Hang out with animals! In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client especially when it comes to pet care. Overarching, is love. I provide calm and loving care. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting, or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.

“Bri was a great sitter for Freddie. Both before and during his stay she was very communicative. Freddie was nervous about being away from home, she kept us updated throughout the day and I knew he was in good hands. If we visit the area and need a sitter again, Bri will be our only call!”
“Alina was very responsible and considerate of my dog's needs. I really appreciate her commitment to the task of taking care of my dog and would gladly recommend her, and/or book with her again.”
“Austin, Francis, and the kids were amazing with our high energy shepard/beagle mix. They adjusted their schedules and came up with innovative ways to tire her out using the collective strength which is no small feat. I couldn’t imagine leaving Millie with any other family. Thank you again!!”
“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”
“heidi took thoughtful and loving care of my complicated and shy mastiff, fanny!! i had never felt comfortable leaving her behind before but heidi made me feel completely at ease—thank you heidi!”
“Christina is just plain awesome. She updates me with pictures and detailed descriptions of what she’s up to with my pup and it makes me feel so comfortable!! You can genuinely tell she just loves animals and that’s something that makes me feel at ease when I drop off Maverick (not to mention he gets so excited to see her now). My doggo comes home happy and exhausted everytime we book with her!! I am so glad I found Christina :)”
“Alicia abs her wonderful children and husband could not have been more lovely, kind, accommodating, and thoughtful! We are so very grateful. Our pup, Gertie, has never bonded better with a family in a short time. We even got such sweet pictures during her stay. Definitely book with Alicia if you can! What a positive experience. Much appreciation!!”
“Highly recommend! We have a 10 month old Irish Setter puppy and had her set to go to a kennel. We found the kennel was awful, but we had to leave her as we were heading out of the country the same day. I found Gabrielle and Sara through Rover and they responded immediately. They went over and picked up our girl first thing the next day and took great care of her for two weeks. I regularly received pictures and updates. She was well taken care of and happy pup when I returned home. I highly recommend them.”
“Christina was really great with Cosmo and is experienced in dog behaviour and handling. I was nervous as Cosmo hasn't stayed in a kennel before but she handled it great and Cosmo had a great time! She was detailed in asking questions to ensure she had all the information to provide the best care for him.”
“My big boy is so sensitive and so spoiled. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family. We had a family event and our floors were getting done so I explored Grover for this reason. I felt so nervous! But, I had nothing to worry about with Rebecca! She sent me pictures and reassurance throughout his stay. He had a blast! Thank you, Rebbecca! It was a wonderful experience for all of us! I can’t say enough, kind words to express how grateful we are…..”
“Connor was great with our dog Bolt! This was our first time going through the app, she made it very easy. We were bringing Bolt to a boarding place nearby but would always feel very on edge and worrying while on vacation. He would come home from the boarding place and his elbows were very rough and red and he would be so thirsty. I picked him up from Connor and he was fine, like he never left home. He was a little tired but that’s to be expected going to a new place. Connor’s house was clean and she has a very nice yard and large covered porch she sat under with him. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. As soon as I met her and she met my dog, I knew we were going to be good! I plan to bring him to her again soon and will continue to for as long as I can!”
“Suzanne is incredible. We received lots of updates and she took very good care of Abby. We had to extend Abby's stay due to a family illness and Suzanne was very accommodating. Abby certainly enjoyed her stay with Suzanne and Koda. We would recommend her to anyone”
“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”
“Katie was fantastic! Super helpful and communicative setting everything up for our first time with her. Kept the dogs loved and entertained (including a pool party!) while we were vacationing. And they came home looking better than when we left. Will definitely want to have them spend time with Katie again in the future.”
“Kyle & Kaleigh are our go to when we need leave our dog Ryder over night. Ryder gets excited when we pull in the driveway and cannot wait to get inside to see them & their two dogs!! Ryder gets lots of cuddles and play time in with them.”
“Audrey was so great with my dog. I could tell he was well cared for while we were away. She sent pictures everyday of all the fun adventures she took him on. Highly recommend!”
“Becky was great. She accepted the booking quickly and communicated well throughout. The photos showed a group of very happy dogs - these are some of my favorite photos of my little guy. My dog can't bear to be left alone and is a sweet but insistent snuggler. He also gets the zoomies when he is nervous. She welcomed him with open arms and settled him quickly. She was sorry to see him leave, but he will definitely be back!”
