About: New to Rover but not new to caring for animals! I grew up on a farm with lots of animals - dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, chickens, pigs... I've also informally pet sat for friends and neighbors with dogs and/or cats in the past. I've been a cat mom in the past, but I don't have a pet of my own right now. For dog walking, my work from home job allows me some flexibility to stop by and take your pup for a stroll! I can do earlier mornings, a lunch time walk on some days, and evening walks after 5pm. For doggy daycare, I work from home full time at a desk job - if my day is "busy" it just means I had a few more zoom calls than usual. I would absolutely be able to take time to provide potty breaks and maybe a walk around the neighborhood when the weather is good. I live on a main street in town, but there's also a nice quiet neighborhood right behind me with minimal traffic, perfect for a quick walk. I do travel three or four times a year for my job, generally for 3-5 days each time, but I'd be able to give you at least a couple of months advanced notice for those trips - they are never last minute! For doggy daycare, I don't smoke and I have plenty of space for your pup to hang out during the day so they don't feel cooped up - including a wrap around enclosed porch that I can keep secure, and a tall privacy-fenced back yard/garden area. While the yard is fenced, I do get birds and other critters roaming through, and I have a flower garden that could have some toxic plants for over-curious dogs. Because of that, I would not to leave them alone outside, but take those breaks with them. My house does have a fairly steep flight of stairs, so a dog without joint pain or struggles going up and down multiple times a day would be most comfortable. I do have lots of houseplants and some could be toxic - so again, if your dog tends to be curious and take a bite out of plants, I may not be the best fit for you.

About: Ive lived with cats and dogs, taking care of my friends and family's pets throughout. I can give medications to your pets no problem if they need. Once living with a diabetic cat needing insulin administered. Ive been on Rover for a few months now as well. I work mainly mornings, I have Mondays and Tuesdays off if you want the best full day care! I will always make your pets feel safe and cared for no matter the day of the week. I have a cat at home, hes neutered so nothing to worry about there. In house or at yours I will keep your pet children entertained.

“Catherine was absolutely great with our dog Maple. She did a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she knew the ins and outs of walking our pup. Catherine managed Maple incredibly well and took care in providing detailed rover cards of how the walks went!”

About: I grew up with a giant chocolate lab & a beagle as my childhood dogs & I LOVED them, family of mine had a smalller mini pincher so I also know how smaller dogs can be compared to large dogs. While iI am at university I do have 3 dogs at home 2 rescues & 1 black lab they are my girls! I am a full time student at the local university but i am looking to fit in time with animals not only to enhance my knowledge of their behaviors & just general knowledge it’d also an easy way for me to learn the area & make money! I have administered shot & pill medications to both cats & dogs in the past, love to be active but also chill around & snuggle & LOOOOVE to make healthy bowls/snacks for animals!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.

About: I am reliable! When you’re gone, there will be zero stress. ☺️ I’ve had years of pet sitting experience. From puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I work for myself so my schedule can be very flexible! My availability can be as short or long as you need me, 7 days a week. I typically go to the house in which I am hired at. That way I know that the animal and the owner feel most comfortable!

“Sam is amazing! He is super knowledgeable and skilled. He is great with overly excited or anxious pups, and he was immediately able to help work on building our dog’s comfort and confidence out on walks. He also took her out on fun adventures when possible. We can’t recommend him enough!!”

About: I have had experience with dogs of all sizes since I was 12 years old, including experience in pet sitting. A very flexible schedule to fit your needs! I am currently working part-time and taking college classes twice a week. I am available mornings including early mornings, nights, and have options for mid-day stop-ins! I have a fenced-in back yard and an open front yard. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks, and have crates accessible if needed.

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.

“10/10 would recommend!”

About: I have extensive experience with small and large dogs, including raising & training two male German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois. I can walk for long distances and can handle highly energetic, large, or anxious dogs. I can transport dogs in my car easily - if they have a favorite place, feel free to let me know! I am able to host dogs at my apartment & I have all the necessities. High energy dogs can be exercised (on-leash) at various parks nearby. I am a freelance writer, which allows my schedule to be as flexible as I need it to be. I am available pretty much 24/7. I live in an urban area, but I have access to parks and several walking trails. I try to keep a good balance between rest and stimulating activities.

“Her first time out with my girl. It was very hot that day, and her attention and concerns with Marlowe becoming over heated was much appreciated! She's very professional and prompt with great communication!”

Doug C.

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. Growing up I had 6 fish, 2 bunnies, 2 Guinea Pigs, and a dog. I would often pet sit for many of my neighbors. Working at a wildlife shelter gave me experience caring for and handling wild animals. Working at a veterinary clinic I learned how to work in a team with animals, and how to make sure that pets get the care they need, even under pressure. I am available three days every week. I will allow notice of care how ever many days in advance you need, and a day of cancellation policy. Unfortunately I live in a dorm, and cannot house pets in my apartment. How ever, I have a reliable car and can drive anywhere needed, as well as transport dogs any where needed.

“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”

About: Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my page. My name is Christine. Born and raised in South Portland, I absolutely love the greater Portland area. I left the corporate word in 2018 and never looked back. I’m an entrepreneur at heart and love being in control of my own schedule. I currently own multiple businesses and have the luxury of working from home. When I’m not traveling I enjoy checking out new trails/ hikes, coffee shops and of course local restaurants. I hopped on Rover a little over three years ago looking for puppy friends to join me on my hikes and it quickly turned into a full schedule of repeat clients. I’ve had the best time getting to know my clients and their pets. Our home is a loving family unit - my sister lives with me along with her two children (3yr and 5yr) and our 8 chickens. We love welcoming new pets in our home and treat each and every one as our own. My sister has extensive experience with dog grooming and dog care - so between the both of us we can handle anything. I offer lots of different services so even if you don’t see what you need listed please reach out! Another benefit of booking with me is I am part of a large community and have multiple friends who take on my clients when I’m booked or traveling. It works out great when my friends and I can share clients because we can always make it work and everyone has a backup for emergencies! I currently own my own business and travel frequently for pleasure. When I’m home I love being active. My schedule doesn’t allow for me to have my own dog so I love helping friends and family out with their pets. I am a very clean and organized person so my home reflects that. I am respectful of house rules and typically leave a space better than I found it. I like to keep my clients in the loop throughout our bookings so pictures and text messages are something I send throughout the visit.
