House Sitting in West Boothbay Harbor

We chose Avery because our dog is fearful of men and we wanted him to get used to being around men more. Avery won our Travis over. He patiently waited for Travis to get used to his presence. He took him on walks which Travis loves. We would definitely use Avery again. Thanks Avery for keeping our Travis while we explored the area.

Hannah arrived early and took to our pup right away. He was relaxed and happy when we got home too. Hannah was also gracious in me switching the day on her - I erroneously thought I needed her one day but it was actually the next and she was kind enough to switch.

Candi took great care of our three rescue dogs and home while we were away. Our three dogs all have very different personalities and care requirements, so finding someone who can confidently meet each of their individual needs is incredibly important to us. Our youngest dog is energetic and requires plenty of exercise and engagement, while our two senior dogs need a much slower pace and extra attention. One of our seniors is a 13-year-old who is both hearing and vision impaired and has a number of behavioral quirks that come with age. He requires patience, consistency, frequent potty breaks, careful supervision outdoors, and an understanding of how to help him navigate his environment comfortably. Candi took the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality and cared for them exactly as we had hoped. Throughout our trip, she was highly responsive, sent regular photo updates, and kept us informed, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and relaxed in her care. When we returned home, they were content and at ease, showing how well cared for they were. She also took excellent care of our home, leaving everything in great condition. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Candi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter—especially if you have pets with special needs or unique personalities. We would gladly have her care for our dogs again.

Kate was amazing! She was communicative throughout our trip, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them like her own. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. We also came home to a spotless house, which was a wonderful bonus. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!

Daniel took care of my PTSD-riddled dog, cat, and home while I went on vacation. He was gentle, intentional and so communicative, sending updates and photos throughout the week. He overcame my dog Moose’s fear of men with his gentle and healing nature, while graciously handling a leaking water faucet and dishwasher. I’ll definitely be using Daniel in the future and highly recommend him.

Hannah was a life saver - I lost my original sitter at the last minute the same day I was to leave for the weekend on a trip. Not only did she respond to my last minute request with a yes but she was at my house that afternoon meeting me and the pups before I left. I came home from two relaxing days to happy exercised pups - first time using Rover and will definitely be booking with Hannah again!! highly recommend!!!

Christi was perfect for our pups! She was responsive, sent us photos and updates. We hate to leave them at home but we knew they were safe and happy in her care!

Thanks Lauren for taking great care of our furry crew! Lauren was very responsive and gave us updates on our pets while we were away. Definitely will use her again!

This was my first booking on Rover and I was a bit anxious about how it would go. I left for my 5 hour drive feeling my pup would be in good hands, but still a bit nervous. Before I had even gotten out of state, Liseli had provided my first update that my dog had just woken from a nap and a pic of her relaxed on the loveseat with Liseli. That was really great to see! Liseli provided a good amount of photos and updates during the two days I was out of state. I came home to a tidy house and a relaxed pup who was also tired - always a good thing! I'll be happy to have Liseli sit for us again!

This was our first time using Rover. Ann was wonderful with Finn, and she was even happy to feed our little flock of hens. We appreciated her attentiveness and her flexibility to the needs of Finn, her trustworthiness and her respect of our home. We received lots of updates and great communication while we were away, and we were always able to reach her if needed, great responsiveness. We certainly hope to have Ann stay with Finn again and would happily recommend her based off our experience!

Kelly was fantastic!
