“Kourtney did such a great job with our pups. Her communication was excellent and she sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which made it easier to be away.”


“Super reliable and had lots of amazing pictures of our animals. House was just as we left it. Updated us one how the animals were doing. Would recommend to anyone and will hire again.”


“Dear Craig, Can’t that you enough for making time in your schedule to take care of Angus during my medical stay! It was such a relief that he was in your care again! Best, Leslie”


“Felicia is a wonderful dog and house sitter! This is the second time she has taken care of the dogs for us. She is warm and loving with the pups and very professional with her obligations. The dogs adore her and we are so glad we came across Felicia on Rover. Communication is strong and we lovingly refer to Felicia as our dog whisperer.”


“Natalie was AWESOME! Our flights got delayed and she was able to accommodate our crazy coverage requests. Thank you, Natalie, for providing great care and peace of mind for our family!”


“We immediately felt comfortable with Alexa being in our home and were confident she would take great care of the pets, which she did! Sammy loved her the second she walked through the door. This was the first time in the 7 years of owning pets together have we had anyone but family take care of them, and are so thrilled that we finally found Rover, and Alexa. We now can plan more summer trips knowing the fur babies and the house will be in great hands! 100% recommend!”


“Lynn took excellent care of our high maintenance French bulldogs while we’re out of the country on an eight day vacation. Our Frenchie hazy is paralyzed in a wheelchair requiring bladder expressions multiple times per day and Lynn was able to adhere to her complex needs, medications and schedule. Despite all the attention provided to Hazy, Lynn did not fail to tend to our needy Frenchton Peppers who struggles with separation anxiety and can have temperament issues. She provided both dogs with love and attention. Overall, we had great experience and would rehire Lynn again to care for our dogs.”


“Kay was vey attentive and kind to Bacchus. She took great care of him during our two nights trip! She gave him walks and played with him with his favorite tennis balls in the backyard. She sent update and photos to me. We truly appreciate her stay-home-care for Bacchus.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young, but just started pet sitting a couple years ago and have worked in the veterinarian field for 5 yrs now. You can also find me helping out in the kennel some days. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, usually 4 days a wk. I do work 10 hour days, but always make it a point to go back for a potty break at lunch when housesitting. I have a large, unfenced yard. I do have a tie out or can walk on leash. There are 2 cats in house, that are used to dogs being around. There is also a rabbit, but he is caged.

“Megan did a spectacular job caring for our dog Finn. We had to go out of town on short notice and Megan was a lifesaver! She was prompt in her communication, was willing to meet our pup in advance, and sent wonderful updates & photos while we were gone. Her care was fantastic and I’d recommend her to everyone!”


“We were so lucky to have Olivia watch our girl — she was incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely sweet. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and took such great care of our pup. I felt completely at ease the whole time — like I could truly trust her with anything. I honestly can’t wait to have her back again… just hoping she doesn’t get too popular, because we definitely want her back!!”


About: I am available and have a very flexible schedule. I have raised my own dog for many years and love to tend to others as well. Responsibility, reliability and trustworthiness are guaranteed along with ensured fun and care. I care for my own dog with daily walks, and basic care such as feeding and playful fun. I have been doing this for most of my life because of my pets and would love to do it for others. For my pet, I put him in a harness and on a leash when going on walks and going potty. In a different house that’s more secluded with more landscape, I allow him to roam freely with cautious eyes. For my clients, it depends on what they prefer whether it’s keeping them on a harness or allowing them to roam freely as well.

“Charlotte did an amazing job with our pup Gryff! She was caring, sent constant updates and was able to deal with Gryff’s anxiety. We were able to have a wonderful trip because we knew he was in great hands. We came home to a spotless apartment and thoughtful note from Charlotte. We would definitely use Charlotte again and would recommend her for anyone leaving their furry friend at home.”


About: I have grown up with animals in my entire family, always having to take care of them and take them on road trips with me so I have plenty of good experience! I’m currently a college student playing basketball in southern maine but don’t worry I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets!! I will respect all of your rules and take care of your fur babies perfectly and safely in your home and treat them as I would with my own!!

About: I’ve been around and taking care of pets for just about 12 years. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, fish, and a tortoise. This has helped me to learn and understand how animals need things just like humans do! I love animals just as much as humans! I am currently in Bath and looking for a little side work and some time with furry friends! My schedule varies as I work full time as well, but I am more than happy to coordinate and figure out a time that works for you! When looking after your fluffy friends at your home, I like to take some time to learn their normal patterns in their own comfy space, and just get comfortable with them! If you have any special requests and/or instructions then I will work to achieve those with your furry friends, and make them as comfortable as possible!


“Taryn was fantastic! We were so nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but she was even better than we could have hoped for. She gave updates, sent pictures, and gave our dog all the snuggles she needed. Thanks, Taryn!”
