“Kristin saved us with a last minute booking! She and her family are so sweet. They sent us updates and pictures while we were away and even let us extend Tater’s stay by several days. We highly recommend Kristin and James!”
“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!”
“Tiffany and her family took such wonderful care of Benny while we were on vacation! It was clear that he received plenty of attention, affection, and love during his stay. Knowing he was safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely trust Tiffany with Benny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring pet sitter!”
“Katie was great about sending me pictures and updating me on the pet stay. My dog is pretty easy but my cat is old and has some health issues. Katie took great care of both of them and was not the least phased by the cats challenges. Will happily use her for pet care again!”
“Shauni is an amazing sitter who is very communicative and treated my dogs like her own. She also went above and beyond when my car broke down en route and was a real life saver. Moose and Iggy will be returning!”
“Mike and Linda took such great care of our dog, Winnie! She was very clearly well cared for, and they followed all of our instructions perfectly. Winnie seemed to have a wonderful time with them, and we had total peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend—5 stars!”
“Denise is amazing! I am always anxious to leave my little chihuahua with anyone new and she immediately made him comfortable with her wonderful and calm environment. I will definitely be booking with her again and cannot recommend her enough! 😊”
“Wowza!!!! Janice is amazing! Not only did she provide tender loving care for our dog, Pasquale, but she was sooooo accommodating when our flights were changed last minute. We could not have found a better match for our needs. We love Janice….XO😘”
About: After losing my best friend, Benjamin Franklin, a 13.5 year old Lab mix, in May, I’ve decided to open my heart and home to caring for other dogs. I got Ben from a rescue when he was just 12 weeks old and spent the latter half of his life caring for his complex medical needs, including medications, specialized nutrition, and significant mobility assistance toward the end. I miss him dearly, and I know just how much our dogs mean to us. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and am comfortable with administering medications and extra care needs. I work from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention in my quiet, cozy home. I also love getting outside for walks and hikes and would love some company! Your dog will be welcomed with lots of love, patience, and snuggles. I know how hard it can be to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident that they’ll be treated like family while you’re away. I currently work from home full-time M-F, so your pup would have company all day! I can board pretty much any day of the week, schedule lunchtime walks and will ensure your dog has what they need to be comfortable and happy. I have a large yard that is partially fenced, but dogs are always leashed when outside and never left unsupervised. I am close to many walking trails that allow a longer, leashed walk if a short car ride is agreeable. Dogs are allowed on the bed and couches if that is the rule at their home. I make it a point to prioritize their comfort and minimize any stress they may feel in a new environment.
About: I love to make sure your babies are happy, safe and comfortable so that you can enjoy your time away without worry. I’m a teacher/social worker by trade, so I’m patient, kind and caring. Special needs or requests are not an issue. My consistent communication and caring for your pets as my own is what makes me your best choice! I’m a social worker, so I’m off on weekends routinely, which coincides with families wanting time away. Occasionally available weeknights for walks or drop ins. Weekends are more flexible, and I’m usually more available. I generally prefer boarding in my home and my routine is planned around your babies. Their needs are my priority! Happy to provide care in my home for dogs on weekends. Walking trails and small yard. Other dogs are plentiful here, but-I will always keep your dog leashed at all times. I’m not against an occasional pup cup trip but have also respected meat-based, gluten free and hypoallergenic diets as well. Only one dog (family) at a time.
“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!”
“Khaila is incredible! She is a true dog lover and very knowledgeable. There are few people I trust with my dogs, and she's one of them! I know my dogs will be in good hands with Khaila, and she's my first choice in sitter in the Saco area. She's flexible with plans, responsive, and very communicative. I appreciate the updates she shares with me, and I know I don't have to worry when my dogs are being watched by her. Thank you Khaila!”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”
“Michelle was amazing for our Frenchie Cooper. Sent lots of pictures and followed all his routines. You can tell she really cares for dogs she watches just like her own. Will definitely be using Michelle again soon!”
“Juno had a great experience with Lorenzo while I was away . He is attentive , professional, experienced and communicated great with texts , pictures and videos . Juno will be back to play with Vito . I highly recommend him !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - York Heights
A lovely couple! I am very picky with who I choose to pet sit since my dog is a Velcro lovey dovey guy who needs genuine human affection; I instantly felt comfortable leaving my Berner under Kristin and James’ care after our meet and greet. I was updated with photos and my dog had a grin on his face. I would definitely utilize their services again.
Mary has cared for our pup in her home several times while we’ve been away on vacation. He’s on a special diet and daily medication and Mary took care of this without any problems. She also sends daily pics which is so reassuring to see him happy. We highly recommend Mary and will continue to work with her. She is a pleasure to work with!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in York Heights can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 York Heights home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 York Heights.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in York Heights. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your York Heights 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
