“Alex was amazing and my dogs love her! I was nervous leaving them for the first time and Alex came over and made me much better! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable! Highly recommended!”

“Madelyn did a fantastic job watching our cat, JJ. He has always been low maintenance but with his old age requires some medication. It was comforting to know someone was taking care of JJ and giving him extra attention and cuddles while we were gone. Our family looked forward to her morning and nightly updates and she always provided a lot of photos. Madelyn will be our first choice moving forward, anytime we need someone to watch our cat. Thanks again Madelyn.”

About: I had a dog for 15 years (Sophie) but she is no longer with us in a physical form. She was the queen and I loved her with all my heart. Even for others dogs, I enjoy their love and licks and seeing what kind of energy/personality they have. My schedule is your schedule. I’ve begun a new journey in my life as I tag along with my wife - a travel nurse - in our RV. I jump around usually every 3 months as she transfers hospitals. I work for myself along with small part time jobs to keep me energized. I usually have lots of free time so I thought I’d spend it with some wonderful pets! It’s quite a lovely solution for me to get out and about on an adventure. Safety and trust is common sense to me. Id tell my Sophie all about my life. I believe she was listening. It gets me a bit when I see people waking with their dog while staring at their phone so expect your dog to know all my secrets…
About: I grew up with dogs around, specifically a Boxer and Boston terrier. I now have three cats of my own! I have done it all from walks to ear cleaning to baths to fetch to administering medications and inhaler treatments - I can do whatever is needed! I work full time with crazy hours! You tell me what times and days are needed, I can try to work it in somehow. Some days I am out at 11pm, others 3pm, it all depends. I will always have two days off a week and can do more for you those days. I can pick on animal cues pretty easily, as I have had non-dog friendly dogs growing up. Patience is something I pride myself on with animals and making sure they feel safe in their environment, as I’m just the visitor.
“Emma has been wonderful. She truly spends time with my cat: brushing her, sitting patiently while she eats, and making sure she feels comfortable. She’s detail-oriented, accommodating (even during holidays), and trustworthy. I always feel at ease leaving my cat in her care!”

“Erin did great! Excellent communication, took great care of Bosco. An unexpected house accident happened (a window broke) and Erin handled it really well. Would definitely book again!”

“This was the first time we had to leave our cat alone and we are so happy with our choice! Erin treated our cat like a princess and always kept us updated! We are so grateful! We will definitely book her again the next time we travel! Thank you for taking such good care of Roxy!”

“Zanae was amazing! She took our dog for 2 long walks and made sure he got plenty of love and attention (and treats). Highly recommend her to anyone traveling and needing dog care.”

“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”

About: Animals have always been my passion, I work as a Veterinary Technician in Waterville full time caring for people’s beloved pets. From kittens to farm animals and everything in between.

My husband and I spoil our pets and share a passion for animals. Animals have free range of the house and plenty of space to run with a fenced in back yard.
About: In the past when I’ve done some house sitting I ended up bonding with the animals which they had to call me Uncle Bobby which required visits even when the owners were home! I work 3 on 3 off and occasionally some overtime! So I actually do have a lot of time of but different days! So weekends and weekdays I actually can have time off! Outside time on a leash or what ever the owner prefers! I would prefer the animals get to know me on leashes! If it’s a fenced in area no problem! Run free my fury friends Lol! I was former certified law enforcement officer and Army Veteran! I can be trusted in your home! Look forward to meeting your animals and the animals owners Lol!
“Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!”

“Brandon was great to work with and took good care of our cat. Our house was also in good shape and as we left it. . Quixo was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I would hire Brandon again and recommend him to others .”

“Rachel provided wonderful care for our three dogs and 2 cats while we were away. She stopped by for drop-in visits and stayed for two overnights. She was very professional and continued to provide photo and written updates through the Rover app. She was attentive to the needs and individual personalities of our pets. Our pets appeared relaxed and happy under her care. We definitely recommend Rachel's services and would love to have her sit for us again!”
