“Jaclyn and her family were so great with Tilly! I’m so happy to have found them. They took Tilly for an overnight with pretty short notice. This was our first time boarding her and she has a bit of separation anxiety, so I was a little nervous to see how she did. But I could tell from the videos they sent of her meeting each dog and then the updates they sent throughout her stay that she felt right at home and was having the time of her life. She’s passed out cold now which is always a good sign. Thanks so much Jaclyn and Eric!”
“Janice was a very good communicator and provided me with many updates - including pictures - as she watched my pup. I was very comfortable with her caring for my pup. I would employ her again for sure!”
“My 1 year old puppy has had multiple stays with Kseniia, and each time has been fantastic! Her and her husband consistently provide top-notch care and attention to my little guy. Kseniia also provides regular updates and photos, which helps me feel connected while away. It is clear that they treat my dog like their own, showering him with love and attention. I highly recommend Kseniia to anyone in need of reliable and loving pet care! I always feel confident leaving my dog in their hands, knowing he's in a loving and safe environment.”
“We could not ask for a better dog sitter for our good boy! Elisabeth is truly a little dog whisperer—so caring, patient, and incredibly attentive to every detail. From the moment I met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs and understands their individual personalities and needs. She keeps us updated with lots of adorable photos and makes sure our dog felt completely at home, relaxed, and loved. The fun adventures she took them on made it feel like a real doggy vacation, not just a stay. Our dog comes home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It gives us total peace of mind to know our pup is in such loving and capable hands. We will 100% continue to book with Elisabeth again and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter! 🐾💛”
“Simon was so nice and welcoming, and my dogs seemed very happy. I got a bunch of pictures showing me how comfortable and at home my dogs felt from the first moment. We will certainly call Simon when we are in the area again!”
“Laney was very accommodating of my two Huskies. I've been looking a long time to find not only a sitter, but one that would take good care of my pups and not be worried about their behavior. Although my boys are somewhat trained and are good with other dogs and kids, not everyone is willing to watch two Huskies! She also showed good care and is knowledgeable of training. I will definitely coming back!”
“We used Carmen for the first time leaving our dog Griffey for a week for the very first time. Carmen was so attentive in providing updates and great pictures. Griffey loved the time he spent with her family and we appreciate her so much!!!”
“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 am a nurse practitioner with extensive professional caregiving experience and have had dogs my entire life. It is a gift to be a pet owner. Pets bring us so much joy and in return we get to give that joy back to them! I’m comfortable carefully following feeding schedules, routines and detailed care instructions, as well as administering routine medications. I would be the primary caregiver. One picture here is of my 15-year-old son Matthew who was at home. Also another friend in one of the pictures who visit often. I work part-time currently. I enjoy being at home with our dog and two cats! Most days I’m at home . If I am needed to work outside the house, I would not be away from home for over 6 hours. One Household at a Time — Personalized In-Home Boarding 🐾 I offer personalized overnight boarding in my home for dogs and cats who do best in a comfortable, relaxed home environment. What makes my boarding different is that I accept pets from only one visiting household at a time. Your pet won’t be one of several unrelated animals being boarded together. This allows me to provide focused, individualized care and plenty of attention, affection, playtime and companionship throughout their stay. For dogs: I have a friendly Golden Retriever and two cats of my own, so visiting dogs must be reliably cat-friendly and comfortable living around cats. I prefer a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure your dog is comfortable in our home and is a good fit with our resident pets. For cats: I welcome cats as well and provide a quiet, comfortable space where they can settle in at their own pace. I accept only one visiting cat at a time, or multiple cats from the same household, allowing me to provide a calm environment and plenty of individual attention. I am a nurse practitioner with extensive professional caregiving experience. I’m comfortable carefully following feeding schedules, routines and detailed care instructions, as well as administering routine medications. I especially enjoy caring for mature and senior pets and understand that some animals benefit from extra patience, reassurance and a predictable routine. You’ll receive regular photos and updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re comfortable, receiving plenty of attention and being cared for as an individual. My goal is for your pet to feel like a guest in my home—not one of many pets in a boarding facility. ❤️🐾
“My dog stayed there for the first time Thursday- Sunday when I went out of state for a wedding. Kane & Colette were great and kept me updated on how Tuukka was doing and they sent me pictures ! Thanks again 😊”
“Chelsea is so patient and wonderful with my dog and I. She really takes her clients serious and is very accommodating. I really trust her with my dog 🐶. Love her 💜”
“We were a bit nervous as our BB had never been boarded. Turned out she had a fabulous vacation! BB had made herself at home with Shauni & Connor as well as their young son. She enjoyed playing, hugs & daily walks when the weather permitted. She had fun with her new dog pals. We love she was treated as one of their own. We will definitely be booking fun play dates now &then,or other times we need a pup sitter.”
“Our pups spent the week being loved and pampered while we were away. Anne provided constant updates and gave us a great peace of mind while we were away! Excellent care!❤️”
“Amy Beth was great! She provided lots of updates and photos. She did a lot of activities over the weekend with Charley to keep her busy. It seemed like Charley had a great time and I would definitely recommend her for your boarding needs!”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Kennebunk
Clayton took amazing care of my pup, Sadie! She was so anxious at dropoff but he sent me pictures throughout her time there and she seemed comfortable and well cared-for. Something I really appreciated was how mindful he was about introducing Sadie to his dog, and everything went very well. I’ll definitely book with Clayton again if I’m ever in need while visiting the area! Thanks so much, Clayton!
Kellie was wonderful. She and Joe were our first non-family overnight care givers for Petey. Let me just say WONDERFUL ! Excellent communication, pictures and reassuring texts. We won’t hesitate to arrange a sleepover when needed and you shouldn’t either. Thank you Kellie and Joe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Kennebunk home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Kennebunk.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Kennebunk sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in ME ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
