About: I grew up with both dogs, cats and rabbits. I’ve cared for various other mammals throughout my life. I have experience with senior and sick animals as well. I have house sat for many neighbors and their various pets over the years. I currently work a very flexible job from home which takes up less than 20 hours a week so I have plenty time to spend with your pets. I have always loved animals but I currently don’t have any pets of my own. We will have plenty time for pets, walks and playing outside.
“Easy communication and very flexible. My dog loved spending time with them. Justin went above and beyond always updating us about Annie with pics and how to visits went. Definitely booking again next time.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life – cats and dogs. I can’t imagine having a home without animals. Currently, I have 2 very loving German Shepherds and a cat. I’ve used Rover for years to find sitters for my own pets and now that I’m retired I’m excited to fill some of my time looking after other people’s babies. Since I’m retired, I’m open to a variety of schedules. Ideally I would like to avoid night visits but am happy to drop in anytime during the day. I believe all pets should be spoiled and loved unconditionally. During drop in visits, I will make sure your pets have all their needs met and do everything I can to comfort them in their owners absence.
“Mae has been absolutely phenomenal. I needed someone to watch my rats while away for the holidays, and Mae did a fantastic job caring for them. She always made sure to ask questions for additional clarification and kept me thoroughly updated on their health and well-being. Mae truly went above and beyond on their care and sent me regular photo and written updates on them. I am grateful to have landed in contact with her and to come home to see my rats happy and healthy.”
About: Hi there! I am Emily and I am 29 years old and I have had animals my entire life! I have been around all types of animals from dogs and cats to horses and pigs! I began professionally dog watching about 14 years ago and fell in love with it. I have experience with many special diets, supplements and any other health issues. I can be active with the dogs or have a snuggle day with lots of belly rubs! Let me take care of your animals and become your life-long trusted animal sitter for all of your needs! I am located in the greater Bangor area but can travel further for house sitting bookings. I work 12 hour shifts on the weekends (Fri-Sun) so I am available Monday-Thursday 24/7. I can sometimes provide weekend care as my schedule and pet’s needs allow for it. Safety is my top priority. I abide by parent’s rules and can crate dogs, if crate trained. Dogs will remained leashed and collared when outside of fenced areas. Parental rules/guidance always prioritized.
“Kiana was AMAZING. I last minute booked her for a few days on and around Christmas and she was so gracious and flexible. She took great care of my dog (drop in visits) and even got her a toy!! I didn’t have to worry about my dog while I was out of state because I knew she was in good hands. Thank you Kiana!!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our furry baby”
About: Hi, I'm Greta, and I'm thrilled to offer my pet-sitting services! As a lifelong animal lover, I've always felt a special connection with our furry, friends. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to horses. This early exposure taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and responsible care. I believe that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention. Whether it's a playful pup who needs plenty of exercise or a timid kitty who prefers gentle cuddles, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your beloved companions. I'm experienced in feeding, walking, administering medication, and, most importantly, showering pets with love and affection. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can stay connected and worry-free while you're away. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and create a positive and memorable experience for everyone!" My schedule tends to stay pretty open. I work at a cafe, but my shifts are usually just 4-7 hours so I can provide full care outside of that time. I care for pets according to whatever their needs are. I will happily follow any instructions given to me, whether the pet needs special medication or specific care, I am open to most.
“Brandon and his wife were great. The animals all opened up to them. Even the cat that will not let me close to her was out with them. I will be using them again in the future.”
“Sydney did an excellent job taking care of my dog Apollo. She was timely, followed all instructions, and made me feel safe leaving Apollo in her care.”
About: In addition to owning my own dogs and cats since I was little, I’ve been volunteering to walk dogs for a local shelter since 2017 I work part time, so I have plenty of time to help care for your pets! I’m available weekdays but can be flexible on weekends if needed I can easily crate and watch your animals if needed, I have lots of experience with even the most resistant dogs to help ensure their safety
About: I majored at the University of Maine in animal and veterinarian sciences with a Prevet concentration. I have had the honor to work in vet offices, in zoos and on farms. So I have been around many different types of animals in multiple ways. I believe that all animals are the most selfless, caring beings and truly are a man’s best friend. Everyone I know, refers to me as an animal lover and because of the veterinarian side, I will always make sure to keep an eye out on your animals health as well. I have plenty of time to be attentive and spend with your animal :). I even included the days where I can housesit full-time preferably, which would be over the weekend and into Monday. But obviously, there can always be exceptions, all I ask is for a check in/heads up. For housesitting, I will obviously follow any guidelines you leave me, whether that be walking your animal on a leash or some type of harness; or letting them out into a fenced in area. I will follow feeding guidelines and anything else that is a concern of yours.
“Was going on a quick getaway for a couple days and needed a cat sitter. Noticed Katarrinna was local, had great reviews, and was a previous vetinary tech. I contacted her and she was quick to reply and book. During her visits she kept us updated with pictures and texts. She was also extremely punctual with her visits, key pick up, and key drop off. I mean seriously down to the minute of the requested times. Upon my return my cat looked well cared for. Would definitely use/recommend Katarrinna again!”
