About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of family and friends since I was in my teens, but more extensively in college and since. For 3 years I boarded and sat for three different family friends. I’ve personally helped raise 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’ve even helped herd sheep and tamed alpacas! I work nearly full-time as a server at a restaurant, so Wednesday to Saturday night I’m unavailable for somewhere between 6-9 hours on those days. When I have my off days I’m usually at home or out for a walk. I’m usually efficient with my errands and have extensive free time on off days. My apartment is a one bedroom, so if I’m not playing around the apartment with the pet, I’d want to bring them on a walk or to the park. I have a very comfortable bedroom conducive to nap time, and I live in the heart of Old Port. Whenever I am with pets in my house I am always looking to set up a cozy space for them to relax with blankets, pillows, their favorite toys. I try to make them feel like a proper guest in my home like anyone else. My apartment is always very quiet despite being downtown, but I would hope to find activities we could do in and around Portland to help keep them active and entertained.
“Our two dogs were very comfortable and happy there. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and does not like many people at all. She was very happy with Spencer and Emily. they obviously really love dogs! We highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy caring for pets like they’re my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins when they’re busy or away. I’m responsible, patient, clean, and very attentive to details, routines, and instructions. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I’ll make sure to provide reliable care, updates, and plenty of love while you’re gone! I am a college grad who loves animals, but I do not have one of my own. Therefore, your dog will get all of my attention! I live alone in my own apartment. My apartment complex is very dog friendly with safe walking trails and lit side walks at night time.
“Jessica was awesome with my pups! It was last minute and a puppy 4 months old with lots of energy. When I pulled in to pick them up and they were out playing with the kids I knew I made the right choice. She made me feel as though I could enjoy my weekend away and that the dogs would be fine. This was my first time using a sitter and couldn't have asked for better!”
About: I grew up dogs from the time I was little- labs, retrievers, shepherds- and had a special needs rescue dog with my partner for many years who lived to be fifteen. When she passed, my partner and I started boarding and house sitting regularly and have built up a pretty cute little pack. I am comfortable giving oral medication and upholding your dog’s schedule, house rules, and love to take field trips whenever possible. My favorite is when a dog can come with me everywhere, so smaller senior pups have become my specialty, but I can’t help but love all the dogs who come along. As a videographer and Maine youth basketball coach I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule and spend a lot of time working from home editing videos. I’m fairly active, always happy to take breaks from work to walk around the neighborhood or find a pet-friendly beach to run around on. I’m in an apartment very close to Deering Oaks Park and the Western Prom. The apartment is a compact second story walk up and has been carefully maintained to keep it safe for curious noses.
“Emily was great with my pup Charlie for an extended weekend. She responded quickly on short notice and we were able to introduce her pup to mine before committing for a little peace of mind. Everything went well during his stay with her, he came home tired and without the stress of a big kennel/boarder so I know he enjoyed himself. I can't recommend Emily enough and will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Overall this was an excellent first experience with Rover.”
“Briana was so wonderful - she helped us out with a last minute boarding need, and she sent daily updates and pictures of our pup. He had a wonderful time at her home, and we would gladly contact Briana for future stays!”
“Ziggy had such a great time with Lizzy. She took him on lots of adventures and gave us tons of updates. He came home tired and happy, it was a great fit. She was so easy to communicate with too! We will definitely book with Lizzy again!”
“Grace is a fantastic sitter. Chewy, my Labradoodle, loved staying with her. He has had two separate stays with her and when he saw her the second time, he simply rushed in to greet her with such joy. I definitely recommend her if you need a dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicholas, a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog sitter here in Portland, ME. I enjoy providing walks, hikes, playtime, and belly rubs to make sure your dog feels loved and safe while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs required for your dog. This could include administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and following your dog’s routine. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities! My wife and I are the go to dog sitter for our circle of friends, and hope someday to get a dog of our own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and provide them with excellent care! I work from home Monday-Friday till 5pm. I could do any dog walks after work, or any other care needed. I will be available some weekends. I would make sure to take special care of your dog, and make your dog feel comfortable. If I only did a house visit, I would make sure your dog has everything they need, before I left your house.
“Rebecca was amazing! We had so many issues with our transportation and ended up having to drop-off and pick-up and different times. She was so understanding and flexible. Our dog Pepper can be very stressed and particular when we are apart, but she had such a great time with Rebecca! Would 100% book again next time we are in Maine!”
“Lauren was amazing with my two pups! They got all of their needs met and were very well taken care of, lots of cuddles and good sniffs. I received lots of updates and tons of pictures which is always appreciated. Will use Lauren for my pups again in the future :)”
“Jaclyn was great with our young and energetic girl! She was very loving and provided some good tips - Whoopie returned home with better walking skills and was happily exhausted from being in Jaclyn's pack. We will definitely call again on our next trip south!”
“Richard was amazing with our girls! All three were super excited to meet him, and they loved their adventure with him last weekend- he even took them to see the LL Bean boot! Highly recommend :)”
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. ❤️🐾
“Natalie was amazing with our dog Leo! After a last minute illness prevented us from using his normal boarding facility, we found Natalie to help us take care of Leo over the holidays. She provided regular updates and he had a great time with her. He seemed very comfortable in her home and we will definitely trust her again with our dog!”
“Rebecca was professional and kind from our first interactions on Rover, to our live meet and greet, go during her boarding of our geriatric dog. Rebecca sent periodic updates and pictures which were wonderful to receive while away from our dog. We will definitely engage Rebecca’s care taking again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Westbrook is $65

Sri is literally the best, and we are so glad to have found her! She is super knowledgeable about dogs, and their needs, and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. We appreciated getting lots of pictures and videos about their daily activities. I have to admit that we are so excited to have found a safe and loving place for our husky when we are traveling.
Matt is great! He came over to meet our dog & was very thorough asking about her needs, temperament, and routine. He offered to set up a meet and greet with another dog he was going to watch. He took care of our dog for a week, picking her up and dropping her off without a hiccup. He’s a very kind, thoughtful, & responsible person. I was completely comfortable leaving my favorite creature in his care. He did a great job and I look forward to having him watch our dog in the future.
