Very happy with Julie! Our puppy loves her, and she makes sure to keep me up to date on how he is doing or any concerns from the visit. She is always on time, and provides great care.

Cassandra was amazing! She was super communicative, which made it really easy to coordinate--and I loved getting pics and videos each time she visited. I have a high energy pitbull, and not everyone understands the breed. However, through our exchanges I could tell right off that she was confident and knowledgeable, and had no hesitation about large breeds. It was such a relief to know that my dog was in good hands while I was gone. After several bad experiences with boarding, this is a game changer. I look forward to working with Cassandra again in the future!

About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.

About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! I love all animals. I currently work for an Equestrian Center where I help care for over 30 horses. I have two part time jobs, but I only work in the evenings and am available for the rest of the day! I’ll do my best to work around any schedule I have five cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade or organic treats (if allowed!) I also have a dog and several reptiles who are beyond loved!

About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have been working with animals all my life from a very young age and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. There were always pets in the home, mostly dogs and cats all my life and I have thorough experience being around animals and knowing how to take care of them. I took a major part in taking care of the puppies that my family bred most of my childhood, I have experience in working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, roosters/chickens, horses, guinea pigs, etc. Besides working with my own pets I have been pet sitting for around 4 years now and have become very comfortable woking with other peoples pets. I pride myself on my attention to detail and focus on making sure your pet/pets are as comfortable as possible. I am currently a student but most of my classes are online so I am very flexible and available pretty much every day of the week currently. I am able to be intuitive and approach every animal with the care and attention that is specific to their needs. I am sensitive to boundaries and always making sure to focus on listening to what they are communicating.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and horses. Growing up around animals has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also experienced in administering medications and can confidently follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially during evenings and weekends when I’m most available. I make it a priority to be there for pets when their owners are busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand after a long day. I’m consistently available for evening drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship before settling in for the night. On weekends, I have even more flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits, extended care, or last-minute bookings. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I build my schedule around giving them the time, consistency, and care they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and the service requested, whether I’m in my home or yours. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your space while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll receive lots of supervision, love, and attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to relax, consistent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive to details and experienced in administering medications if needed, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycares in the last few years where we did boarding. I’ve also worked in a cat boarding facility and have worked at pet stores for about 5-6 years. I was trusted with cleaning up after and giving medications to pets that needed it. I’m currently working part time in Freeport so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets and spend time with them and take them on walks depending on weather. I live in a wooded area with access to tie outs so your pets and I could sit outside on good days and play. I have an extra room in the house where I can easily board your pet but would require you to bring a crate if they’re crate trained depending on the size of the pet. I do have two crates available that I could use if you’re unable to bring their crate. I have 2 cats in the household along with my fiance so they would have to be cat and man friendly.

About: Dog Trainer in training! I will soon be a certified dog trainer, with an expected completion date of 6/1/26. I love, love, love dogs and know quite a bit about them! I have been an active volunteer at the Kennebec Valley Humane Society for the past 4 years, and I am a current student in the Catch Canine Academy Master's Program. I am trained and experienced in reading dog body language, calming/stress signals, and play behaviors. I will use this skill set to address and adapt to your dog's temperament and needs from day to day. I have been a trusted pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for over 10 years. I have had dogs of my own since I was 11 years old and their health and happiness is my greatest joy! I understand how hard it is to leave your beloved babies in someone else's care (I rarely leave mine for that reason), but you can rest easy knowing that your pet's safety will always be my #1 top priority, with lots of love, patience, and fun to follow! I currently work nights 3-10 pm, so I am available for morning and early afternoon walks/potty breaks. Depending on location, I could possibly be available for a late-night drop-in visit on a case-by-case basis with existing (repeat clients). In your home, I will follow every detail of your instructions. I know how important routines are to our pets! When our pets know what to expect they are able to relax and feel safe and secure. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to play with!

About: I am a huge animal lover! My husband and I chose fur babies over human babies and have a golden doodle, senior kitty, and two rescue buns! I have experience working with both senior and special needs pets. In addition to cats and dogs, I am also skilled with bunnies, birds, sheep, goats, and chicken. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I am currently working a full time remote job 9-5 Monday-Friday. I have ample weekend availability and can also assist with evening care on weekdays if needed. Please reach out for any scheduling questions! I love taking long walks and will take your dog as far as they need to go. I do also have experience with leash pulling and am happy to accommodate different harnesses that your pet prefers. I will not work with choke/shock collars as I do believe they do much more harm than good. If a drop in visit is needed, I will come to your home and spend as much time with your furry friends as needed! I can also assist with medication management and prescription diets.

About: I’ve had pet dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve always loved taking care of them, and being someone that they can rely on. Caring for animals is a big part of my life and something I hope to be forever passionate about! I am working full-time for the summer. I am a college student who will be going back to part time in the fall to finish my last year. I’m mostly free in the evenings and on odd days during the week since I work a rotating schedule. The fall will look different as I’ll be working part-time while also going to school! I’ve been handling large dogs since I was a young teenager, so I’m very comfortable with all types of breeds. I’d consider myself very gentle when it comes to animal care.

I'm always hesitant when leaving my queen with anyone to work off her energy. Jasmine is top notch for the cause. Medusa is very selective but obviously enjoys her time with her. Will book again when in these coordinates. Thanks again jasmine. Perhaps she will sleep through the night. From the bottom of my heart we thank you so much!
