About: * Please ask about walk/drop-in rates * Added fee for livestock, birds, etc. Thank you for being here! My name is Amanda Dickey, 29, animal lover born and raised in Maine. Caring for animals is one of my greatest passions and joys in life, and the perfect way to supplement my income while I focus on my writing this summer. My 2-year old mixed pup, Wally, is 20 lbs and neutered. He loves people and pets and can come with me if everyone gets along, but can also stay with my mom no problem. I am responsible, communicative, and have extensive experience in pet care — from daily check-ins on a 90lb Pit-bill to administrating oral medications, managing dogs with separation anxiety to farm-sits and volunteering at animal shelters. Our pets are an important part of our family units, and providing the proper attention, affection, patience, and nurturing spirit has always come naturally to me. As well as following all instructions very carefully. It is also my priority to ensure you are confident in leaving them with me. I will always do in-person meet and greets beforehand so they will recognize me when I return. I will also send tons of pictures and videos and can even do FaceTimes so you can see how we're doing. I know it's hard being away from your pets so anything I can do to set your mind at ease is my pleasure :) I've been told I have a positive and loving energy that animals are drawn to. Each animal is unique with their own special little personality, and understanding and respecting that helps me build rapport. I realize what a sensitive (sometimes confusing) time being apart from their family can be, so it's really my top priority to be a great source of comfort and stability for them and to provide as much warmth and positive energy as I can. Thank you for reading my notes and considering me as your pets' loving caretaker and temporary companion! Please let me know if you have any questions and hope to hear from you soon. Very best, Amanda and Wally I am currently writing remotely so can be there majority of the time. There may be a family event, appointment, etc. I’ll need to go to, but can adjust depending on how long the pet(s) can be alone for (ex. not more than 4 hours) I’m very attentive and make sure to give the pets care and affection how they want it. From high energy play and walks to low energy cuddles with lots of pets in between.

About: My name is Molly and I am an Ed Tech/BHP with availability and energy in the summer months. I have a four year old son and a ten year old dog, Zoe. Also popular in our household are Gracie, the seven year old bearded dragon, and Gus, the beta fish. This summer, I have an especially flexible schedule, but am happy to support you and your pet’s needs all year around. Although it is not my primary career focus, I have been involved in pet care for 20 years as a source of outside income and great passion. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss things further and determine if I would be a good fit for your pet family. I am currently working during the day, but am available in then afternoons or for boarding. I have summers off and would be available all day/week for walks, hikes, swims, playtime, and long term stays. My dog stays in the yard at the end of our private road. I adhere to the owner’s instructions for their pet’s safety while outdoors.

“Autumn was great. We were traveling on a long, RV trip, and needed someone local to walk our pup when we were out touring. Autumn did everything we asked, and everything went very smoothly. Great communication. We would definitely use her again if we were back in the area.”

About: >> I share this account with my daughter Ellie << Hey im Sarah! I have always loved animals and have taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was 12. My sister and I trained our own small terrier puppy when I was young and I have always had a dog ever since. We now have a wonderful Berniedoodle in our family, who gets along great with other dogs and is always ready for a play date. So maybe you would like us to help train a puppy, walk your dog or spend time with your cat. My schedule is normally quite flexible and we would love to get to know your animals! Hey im Ellie! I grew up with my family always owning and caring for dogs. I have taken care of my friend’s doggies and have taken care of other dogs. I also have experience with cats and love them! I have had 5 kitties in the past, but I have also cared for more. I am looking forward to pet-sitting your pets! Please let me know if you have any questions :) I have a very flexible schedule and will usually be able to rearrange things to accommodate your needs. Let me know, I can probably make it work. I prefer to come to your house to care for your pets, take them for walks and play with them, but I do also have a fenced in section of my yard and a friendly dog named Moxie to play with, so that is a possibility. There is also the Belfast dog park that we could visit. Lots of options and lots of fun to be had.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a child. Fish, lizards, snakes and dogs and cats. I've had a lot of experience with senior care. I'm currently working overnights on the weekends, leaving my day time availability flexible for your needs. I try to make time to get outside everyday and would love to have your pet join in on the fun! Your pet is in safe hands with consistent picture, video and text updates. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment for your fur family while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! Over the past 25years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I believe pets are family, and finding the right person to look after them while you’re away is crucial. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every pet with the same love and care I give to my own. Caring is embedded in my nature and when I'm not loving on my pets or caring for others fur babies, you can find me working as a nurse. I'm currently the owner of a special needs dog and feel comfortable caring for those pets that need a little extra care. Ask me about my pet wedding service I offer! As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to have days off with no work obligations so I can give my full attention to caring for your pet. I know that ensuring your pet has a safe environment with someone they trust is of utmost importance, so a meet and greet prior to confirming services is required. I tailor my approach based on the unique needs of each pet and their owner. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment with ample space to play, opportunities to potty and protected sleep space. My pets are used to a structured environment, which allows them + visiting pets to settle into the new arrangement with ease. In your home, I focus on maintaining the familiar routines and surroundings that keep your pets comfortable. I follow any specific instructions you provide and adapt to your pet's habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and loved. My experience has equipped me with the skills to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing extra attention and care. Overall, my goal is to provide seamless care for your pet so they feel safe, secure and calm while their owner is away. Daily updates with pics or videos will be sent to ensure the owner feels safe, secure and calm while they are away as well! Prior to your departure, a plan for emergencies will be discussed and I will ensure I have all necessary phone numbers and contact information.

“Marisol is great! She is communicative and reliable. She takes extra time for cuddles and treats. And she gets along great would my pup. Would gladly recommend her to anyone :)”

About: 🐱🐶 Animals have been my whole world my whole life! I have experience with a variety of animals from fish 🐠 to turtles🐢 as well as dogs🐕 and cats🐈‍⬛. I use positive reinforcement training techniques with our three rescue dogs and I use worship all cats techniques with our cats 😆. I am comfortable and familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. So medication💊 and physical therapy💪 exercises are something I am happy to provide! I went to college for animal behavior and animal sciences and have a degree in Ecology 🌎 I completed a 2 year course in wildlife rehabilitation. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and that means they get the utmost care and attention. 🫡 I will respect and follow whatever your babies' needs and preferences are as well as yours when it comes to them and to your space. 💓 We love taking our dogs on all sorts of outdoor adventures but safety is always our top priorty⛰️🦺! I am great at reading animals and understanding the different personalities and quirks they each have so I can provide them with the best care that works for them 🧐 Every animal is different but they all deserve our best! I have a flexible schedule and my own car that allows me to be an adaptive and on call care giver. I don't mind late bookings or cancelations as I understand that things come up. I am new to rover and still figuring out what works best but am always willing to work with clients on what works best for them and their pets. Animals are my first priority but I also believe homes and personal spaces are sacred and I will always treat them with respect and attention. All animals are different so its important to use to always be aware of anything potentially unsafe. Our home is for animals first and there is nowhere they aren't allowed although animal guests and clients are always fully supervised to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Our home is very easy going and has a lot of space for different needs and comforts. In your home, I will defer to your personal preferences always.

About: I am a service dog handler for the past 7 years. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I'm the go to person in my friends and family for training and care advice of animals big and small. I have owned and cared for everything from small snakes to rodents and horses. I have worked as a dog trainer, a horse trainer, a groom, and I have worked on dairy farms since I was 14. Every morning starts out with letting the dogs out and farm chores. Followed by breakfast for the dogs. After breakfast we do 30 minutes of rest in kennels while I feed the family. The rest of the day is spent with enrichment toys and puzzle games. Training is spaced out throughtout the day in 10-15 minute sessions. At 8pm the dogs are let out on last time then kennel and dinner time for the night. Our dogs are friendly and out going. We live in a very rural area on 81 acres of hiking trails and farm land to explore. The dogs are always watched when outside. We do have a wireless fence system for dogs that are trained on the e collar and long lines for dogs that are not off leash trained. We have experience crate and rotating dogs with aggression/reactivity problems. I have rehabilitated and socialized dogs with traumatic past.

About: I am the dad to a crazy and highly energetic 2 year old dog, and have loved dogs all my life. I am good at asserting control, and love playing and giving them all the attention and love I work remote, so I have lots of availability during the week to be able to help take care of your dog. I also have very few meetings, so scheduling shouldn’t be a problem It is important to me that I perform exactly what the owner wants me to do in terms of walking, what the dog is allowed to do etc… I will make sure the dog is fully loved and attended to
