About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. As a child-teen, I helped bring puppies to the vet every year, as well as bathing them, playing with them, and watching them. I’ve been paid to take care of multiple dogs and I volunteered in the Waterville Humane Society as an adolescent. I have lots of freedom and flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day Monday-Saturday and am willing to provide overnight care as well. I make sure that dogs in my home are fed and watered according to their normal schedule, walked, bathed when necessary, played with, and paid attention to.
“This couple made a stressful week so much better. We did not have to worry about our dog while our daughter was born. We will definitely use them in the future. Thank you both.”
About: I have owned multiple dogs, German Shepherds are my favorite breed, along with several kitties. My love for all animals has always been strong. If you give me the opportunity and the pleasure to care for your fur babies while you’re away, I commit to you that they will have the best care I can possibly give them. I am available for stop in seven days a week between the hours of 7 AM and 7 PM. I can accommodate most schedules. Feel free to call me directly at three56one6zero4. I do not provide care for pets in my home at this time as I do not have a fenced in yard along with my German Shepherd’s are not used to other dogs in their home.
“Our Italian greyhound took to Stacy from the very first minute it was a great meet and greet!”
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.
“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: I’ve been raising and training dogs for the past 10 years and lived with dogs my entire life. My dog knows sit stay, Paul rollover heel.

About: Hello Pet Parents, My name is Maleeka and I’m a former emergency veterinary hospital receptionist and current nursing student. My love for animals started at a young age. My first job was at a local, family owned pet store when I was 14. I’ve been caring for animals for 20 years and hope to continue to do so for years to come. Pet Care would fit into my weekly routine as I’m currently a part time college student with a flexible schedule to provide pet sitting services. I’m home full time and my courses are online. I live in a quiet neighborhood away from the main road and traffic. I have a large, unfenched backyard surrounded by woods at the edge of the property. Taking care of a pet at a client’s resident would depend on their house’s location etc.
About: Experience with both senior cats/dogs and young cats and dogs. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently work as a vet assistant weekends, and sometimes have class during the week. Best thing to do is reach out and see when I am available! I appreciate information about your animals routine (wether they are crated at night, times they usually go out, high enery, low energy, feeding schedule, and other things that will allow me to give the most thorough care I can) so I can properly care for them. Also please give me a heads up about food or toy aggression before hand (it doesn't necessarily mean I'll deny service I just want to be warned so I can be extra cautious)
About: My family has five dogs, training has been one of my hobbies since childhood! When it comes to dogs I have been there and done that- there is nothing your dog could do to surprise me. I come from a farming veterinary family so I am equipped to look for any warning signs should your pup need any care during my visit. I also have two cats of my own that are dog friendly and very curious. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and entertained! If your pet has any special medical needs or needs to be administered medication, I am more than happy to accommodate that. I am also a pet parent to two adorable kittens, I know the patience they require and how rewarding they are. Hope I get to meet you and your furry friend soon! Do you have more than one pet? No worries! I only charge +$5 per pet, the more the merrier! I am a law student with a summer internship, meaning I am unavailable during the work week 9-5. I am available the rest of the week and would love to coordinate a schedule with you. Communication is key! If I notice anything is off, I will alert you right away. Every pet is different, some are simply quirky- it is important that I let you know if I see any abnormal behaviour. I have experience with dogs with severe anxiety, injuries, joint problems, behaviour issues, you name it. If your pet needs any sort of special care, I will be happy to help. If I see any concerning behaviour I will let you know immediately and we can plan from there the course of action that needs to be taken.
About: Hello, I grew up with dogs in my house and have been part of raising many puppies into calm, attentive, and polite members of our communities. Giving dogs the best life possible is a passion of mine. A note about my rates: In addition to the fees Rover charges you to book with me, they take 20% of my rate. Additionally, I am liable for any damages your pet does to my property, guests, or other animals. Unfortunately, Rover doesn’t offer protection for the sitters and the risk I take is immense. I offer a premium service and charge accordingly, you and your dog will get what you pay for. I work from home, a few hours a week from my computer. I will arrange my days to be able to be fully present with your animal while in my care. I live on 20acres of mixed field and forest, on a quiet rural road. As there is no fenced area currently, your dog will never be unsupervised or off the leash until we build the relationship to ensure their safety.

She goes above and beyond to tailor her care to each pet’s unique needs - whether that’s a long play session, a gentle cuddle, or sticking to a specific feeding or medication routine. Simply put, Kristine is the kind of pet sitter every pet (and pet owner) dreams of.”
