About: My friends and family have trusted me with their dogs for years, and I grew up with a dog of my own, so I know how to keep pups happy, safe and on their routine. With no pets of my own right now, your dog gets 100% of my attention, plus regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I work fully remote, so I'm home most of the day and can keep your pet right on their normal schedule. I also love being outdoors, so walks are already part of my daily routine. Your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and company, never long hours alone. Safety comes first. My home is smoke-free and quiet, with no children and no other pets, so your dog gets a calm space and my full attention. I don't have a fenced yard, so dogs are always leashed outside, which means no escapes and no unsupervised yard time. I have crates, toys and backup food on hand. In your home, I'll follow your routine, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates.

“Lynda is great. She is communicative and reliable. Dewey loved going on walks with her and I would definitely book again and recommend for anyone!”

“Great experience overall!”

“Kristen is fantastic. She is communicative both with scheduling and about her time with my pup. She is so good to him and he loves his time with her. I don’t have to wonder if Kristin will show up or be on time. She always is. I’m so thankful.”

About: I've cared for all kinds of fuzzy friends since I was little; I've been around everything from horses, to goats, to chickens, to dogs of all sizes, to llamas. I have a 5 year old Wheaten Terrier named Dash that is my entire world. I work from home, so I'm able to assist you with walks and drop-ins during the way when you're away! I work from home, so I'm available to help while you're gone throughout the day and into the evening! I have regular availability Monday through Friday and am happy to drop by for a visit or a walk. Regular walks, plenty of attention, and a clean, comfortable environment while I carefully follow each pet's routine! My Wheaten has quirks, so I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need for your family.

“Keli has dropped by and taken our dog for a walk a few times now and she is fantastic! She sends great updates/pictures during the day, and you get the sense that she really cares. She has always been punctual and thorough - thoughtful too. We will definitely be booking her again! :)”

About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Rover Sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, & personalities. My home is best suited for friendly family dogs who enjoy a structured, home-based environment. I currently have dogs & cats of my own, so I’m experienced with multi-pet households & carefully managing introductions, feeding routines, crate time, exercise, & rest periods. What sets me apart is that I treat every stay like a dog is joining our household, not just being watched. I prioritize safety, consistency, & clear communication so both pets & owners feel comfortable throughout their stay. I have experience with puppies, large breeds, crate training routines, shy dogs, & dogs who need a little extra time to settle into a new environment. I provide regular updates, photos, & individualized care while maintaining the structure that helps dogs feel secure away from home. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, calm, & loving home where your dog can relax, play, & be treated like family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I currently work two part time jobs while transitioning into a new position, so my schedule is full-time between the two. Beginning in August, I’ll be fully transitioned & back to working part time hours each week, giving me more flexibility. No matter how busy my work schedule is, I plan my day around the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every pet receives the attention, love, & consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date & only accept bookings that I know I can provide exceptional care for. Safety & comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. Before each stay, I take time to learn about a pet’s routine, personality, preferences, & any special instructions provided by their owner. When boarding in my home, I use slow, supervised introductions with resident pets & closely monitor interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable. Dogs are never left together unsupervised until I am confident they are a good fit. Crates & separate spaces are available when needed for meals, rest, or decompression. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide fresh water at all times, & follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. My home is pet-friendly, & I take care to keep potentially unsafe items out of reach while providing a clean, secure environment. For drop-in visits & house sitting, I respect my clients’ homes & follow all instructions carefully. I pay close attention to feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, litter box maintenance, & home security. I also provide regular updates & photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, & well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable & every owner feel at ease.

About: We have had a dog in our family for the past 25 years and growing up we had dogs, cats, boa constrictors and rabbits (brother was a magician). I have been a member of Trusted House Sitters for 5 years and have house / pet sat multiple sites from Cumberland to Camden in Maine (a favorite vacation place) during that time. I have created a core of 6 clients that reach out annually for help with both cats and dogs. Locally, I help keep our 11-year old rescue, Sandy active and healthy. In the past few years, I have added neighbors who have two cats to my client list. FEEDBACK - Randy is my go-to for all travel plans regarding my pets. He follows all my requests, sends great updates and asks good questions. He leaves the house spotless, too! My dog and cats love him, as well as all my neighbors and their kids! They look forward to seeing Mr. Randy! (Sarah, Brunswick, Maine) FEEDBACK - I have been asked to write a letter of reference for Randy Dick attesting to his capabilities and qualities as a pet/house sitter. Bottom line? Hire him! Randy is a a great guy and is utterly reliable, terrific with our pets, and a very responsible house sitter. He has helped us out many times both for shorter (several days) and longer (several weeks) trips. We have known Randy (and his family) for many years and he is gregarious, fun, responsible, smart and caring – all qualities we enjoy in his family, as well. I am delighted to be able to write this letter of support for Randy. (William, Cumberland, Maine) I am formally retired but do some part-time consulting and writing. I am active and try to have some exercise activity daily. Some travel for conferences that will need to be scheduled around. I always try to visit the home before the owner leaves to understand the environment, routines and pet(s). Appreciate written instructions and knowing vet and neighbor contact information for emergencies or questions. Same routine if pet is coming to my house.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of my own along with family and friend’s dogs. Able to work on training and take for regular walks. Currently working from home. Able to pay close attention to your pet and take on regular walks. Will ensure your pet has plenty of exercise and feels comfortable in our home. I have a large yard along with many walking trails in our neighborhood. Friendly family dog in the home. Able to care for pets and plants in their own home if preferred.

About: I’ve grown up around many dogs and cats, and my family has always trusted me to make sure their fur babies are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with animals of any age or size and always give them the love and attention they deserve.” I’m part time as of now but my part time job is quite flexible. I am home in the mornings and leaving later in the day for work. We have a fenced yard that’s designated strictly for potty breaks. Our larger yard is not gated, but our current dog is trained to stay within its boundaries using an invisible fence. Additionally, we have a separate gated area in the laundry room for secure indoor containment when needed.

About: I had a pincher mixed with chiwawa when I was a kid, and took good care of it for 10 years. Recently, I have helped my parents take care of a Springer Spaniel, a medium to large sized dog. This dog loved me, and I can't even explain why. I am currently without a steady job, so most of the time can make a considerable amount of time to walk a dog or take care of him during a short period of time, during the day. I am very respectful and midful of the clients home, and specially the space the dog is used to and needs to feel confortable and thrive.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life, and truly got to experience full ownership in my early twenties. I have learned so much about and from these loving furry friends from raising 3 litters of puppies to training and loving my own pups to caring for my friends’ fur babies. I have experience with elderly furry pups, along with administering medication both in pill form and topicals. For the past 15+ years, I’ve been the proud dog mom to my red Min Pin. I also had the pleasure of raising my cat from a kitten during Covid until he proudly became my parent’s ES animal. I taken a great deal of care with my dog’s diet, health, and well being as his aged into an elderly yet spry dog. He’s had an injury to his heel prior to us meeting, but I was able to care for him and understand what the best plan would be to ensure he lives a normal, crazy, uninterrupted, fun, full Min Pin life. I want to be able to provide the same love, care, and understanding for your fur baby. They are what keeps us happy and loved humans :) I, primarily, prefer to care for smaller animals, since I’ve been a dog mom to Corgi mixes and Min Pin breeds. I currently have an open schedule which will give me ample time to care for, play, and provide companionships and care to your fur baby while you’re away. I have a comfortable and pet friendly environment where it’s a quiet, peaceful, and easy walk. I have a deck for pups who enjoy some sun and fresh air and a cat tree to entertain any possible kitty cat visitors.
