Liz is great!! The dogs are excited when she watches them, you can tell by the pics and videos she sends! Lots of snuggles 🥰 She touches base often during the day. I feel 100% comfortable every time we book with her! ❤️

Gabbi did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! She made sure medication was given on time and made sure they always had everything they needed. I would definitely book Gabbi again.

About: I have experience taking care of animals in a general care and critical care setting. I want to do everything in my power to keep you and your fur-babies happy! My availability is very flexible besides class for about two hours 2-3 times a week. Otherwise I have the ability to work around your schedule. I have two dogs of my own that each have different medical and dietary needs. I am comfortable walking and caring for your pets and always have time to address any concerns pet owners have. Your pets safety is always top priority.

Ethan was a great help and was accommodating for a last minute booking. He made sure that Maxwell would be comfortable with a meet and greet as well. He was punctual, communicative, and made sure Maxwell was well cared for. Maxwell warmed right up to him with no issue and we will definitely use Ethan again in the future.

I highly recommend Ciara. A very caring and lovely young lady. She sent me pictures and videos while I was away on holiday. Due to a flight delay I was late picking up my fur babies and she said no problem. She is patient and kind. We finally arrived at her home late at night. Ciara greeted us with a smile and packed up our fur babies bags. Kobi, Sophie and Ruby were happy and tired when they came home. I definitely will request Ciara again. 10 star rating.

Delaney was awesome!! She came by about 2 weeks before to meet the dogs and get to know them and their routine. When it came time to watch the dogs it took some time for them to get used to her (my one dog barks aggressively at anyone that comes in the house that isn’t me, my husband, or the kids) but after a while he stopped barking at her and she came and went like she was one of their own. I can tell that they really came to love her. My one dog had a few medical issues (nothing serious) while we were away and she took care of everything and kept us updated on how he was doing. Delaney sent us pictures almost daily to show us that they were happy and taken care of. This was our first time using the Rover app and we are very happy with the experience we had with Delaney!

We loved Tre! From the minute he pulled into the driveway, we felt comfortable that he would be a great fit to care for our enthusiastic pittie mix. He asked pertinent questions and took detailed notes during the meet and greet. Our dog responded so favorably to him and the became fast friends. We highly recommend him and will definitely be working together in the future.

About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.

About: Going away for the night, weekend, week or however long just contact me! I absolutely love dogs no matter the size! I have been watching friends dogs for a few years now and have really enjoyed it. I do have a full time job from 8-5 Monday thru Friday but would be with the dogs before and after work and they would get the full attention that they require when I am with them. My full time job does not require any overtime so I am always done on time. In the past I have stayed with a cat that had diabetes and had to have shots which was not a problem for me to handle. I do have a teenage daughter who would occasionally come with me if that is not a problem with the owners. I work full time but I have plenty of time in the evening to play with your dog(s), spend time with them if they would rather just cuddle or take them for a walk. I am patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or missing their owners. I try to help them feel comfortable by playing with them or petting them white cuddling. When the pet is feeling comfortable I will send pictures to the client, letting them know that the pet is relaxed and comfortable with me in the house

About: I've been working as a veterinary assistant for about 8 years now! Before then, I worked as a pet sitter and a doggie daycare worker! I'm currently in school and working in clinicals, so I no longer get to work full time. I'd love to care for your pets in my free ❤ While pet sitting, I treat pets as of they were my own. Im very detail oriented and want your pet to be as happy and stress-free as possible while you're away, so giving me the more information on their care, the better!

Madison did an excellent job taking care of our 12 year old St.Bernard/Staffy mix, Charm! Madison was very capable, patient, kind and moved at Charm’s pace, making Charm very comfortable with her. Madison provided great communication during her service so we were worry-free during our trip! Will rebook with Madison in the future! 😊
