About: I have a lifelong connection to caring for living beings—I've been doing it since I was a little girl. Our pets are truly our family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle senior dogs, I adjust to their unique needs. I offer a safe, loving home for boarding and daycare, with lots of affection, structure, and fun. My home is drug and smoke-free. My goal is to make you and your dog(s) feel comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy while you’re away—because they deserve ALL good things! I work from home caring for a loved one while they're healing. Caring for dogs brings a loving healing energy into our home. As you know they nurture us as much as we nurture them, if not more! In my loving pet-friendly community, your dog will enjoy wide open spaces for safe walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I create a calm environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I'm experienced in administering medications—oral, intravenous, or topical—and can accommodate special diets with care. Crate-trained pups? I can easily crate your dog upon request. For everyone’s safety, all dogs are walked on-leash, so please bring your pooch with a secure collar or harness. Your pet’s well-being is always my priority.
“I highly recommend Jimbo as a pet sitter. He went above and beyond to take care of my puppy Ginger for 7 days, even giving her a cute outfit and spoiling her with love and attention. He also provided daily updates and videos of Ginger playing in the dog park, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I was completely satisfied with his service and will definitely be recommending him to others in need of a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Dear pet owner, you may find yourself looking for reasons to go out of town so you can leave your pets with Jessica. She is such a sweet and caring soul and took such good care of my cats for me. I can’t imagine a better caretaker for animals.”
“Raegan was absolutely incredible! Starting right from our initial correspondence and communication and continued throughout the entire weekend. She is friendly, has a nice well-kept living space, and is very accommodating. I highly recommend that you send your dog to her if you have the need! Craig Babbidge Portland, Maine”
“I had to take a last minute trip out of state and used Rover for the first time. I chose Libby and she was absolutely wonderful. She was easy to book last minute and she took good care of my fur babies. I have a 9 year old Samoyed/Husky mix and a 6 month old Samoyed. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and videos of my babies. I highly recommend her and I will definitely book with Libby again in the future.”
“Mia was perfect with Gus. He is very spoiled and she really knew how to handle him. This was my first time using this type of service and I was thrilled with the outcome. I will definitely use Ms Mia again if Gus can not travel with me. Sorry for the delay in providing feedback.”
About: Cats are my animal match so I never turn down an opportunity to love on a cat, and I understand the stress of not having someone to check in on your cats while you’re away. I also love dogs but can’t make the commitment of having my own dog at the current stage of life I’m in, so I figured this would a great way for me to hang with some dogs and provide dog owners a peace of mind while they’re away! I work in office full time so I’m available for check ins after work during the week. I’m in town most weekends and available for all services. I live downtown and my apartment provides a fenced in pet patio for dogs, but I am also walking distance to railroad park. I also don’t mind dogs in my car and can take them to any outdoor space.
“Katherine and her fiance were so great with our dog, Hobie!! He seemed to have had a great weekend with them and their dog River. He loves playing with other dogs so I know he had a great weekend!! I loved receiving pics and vids of Hobie during his stay! I would absolutely book Hobie with Katherine again!”

Tristen P.
“Tristen is my first call when it comes to taking care of my pets! I have a very loud corgi who is picky with who she loves, but always runs straight up to Tristen. Tristen doesn’t get freaked out when my corgi barks at meal times, and is patient with her on long walks where the corgi has to sniff every single thing! Tristen is also AMAZING with my two cats. She scoops the litter box every time she visits, and was comfortable giving my cat a syringe full of antibiotics twice a day the last time he got sick. Tristen communicates well when taking care of my animals, and she is always the first person I call when I’ll be out of town, or even out of the house all day.”
