About: I have dog sat for 2 families, cat sat for two families, reptile sat, and generally animal sat for a few families. Animals are my happy place. I strive for the animals I take care of to be entertained, fed, walked, and most importantly loved. I am currently working part-time over the summer, while looking for an English teaching position (high school preferably). I have graduated college from the University of Maine at Farmington with a bachelors in Education. I find I am passionate about the things I strive to achieve and work for. I am organized, honest, and kind. I made sure the house I am caring for is clean and safe for the animals that live there. I will always follow the rules that the client will give me. I will try my absolute best to make sure the pets safety is my top priority.
“Nathan was terrific - asked good questions about the kids ahead of time, was communicative while we were away and left everything in great order/condition for our return home. Offered to stay additional as well if our flights were delayed. Very considerate and great with the dogs and cat - they took to him right away!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Mara provided for our dogs, Miles and Rex, while we were away for a week. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in good hands. She kept us updated with photos and it was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being. Both dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home—and the house was spotless! Mara went above and beyond, and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”

“Caroline did an amazing and thorough job with our fur baby! We had last minute travel plans come up and she was still able to accommodate our crazy schedule. She took multiple walks with Zeke and was great at communicating and sending pictures. Zeke is a pretty anxious dog, but he was comfortable with her right away, as were we! She asked questions that showed she genuinely was interested in making sure he was comfortable. We will definitely be booking Caroline again and would highly recommend her!”

She is friendly, communicative, and upbeat- a great sitter!”
About: I have taken care of pets for 5 years. From a range of friends, family and neighbors. They have entrusted me to take care of their animal with expert professionalism, and I will continue to do the same for you and your pet. I currently work full time, but have some free time throughout the week to assist with your pets needs. I am dependable and trustworthy. Ensuring that all pets needs are met. I cannot house pets in my home, due to my landlord having a no pet policy. However, I will ensure that your animal is being safety taken care of in your home or if we are out for a walk. This being keeping them in a fenced in yard, keeping them on leash, ensuring that they have plenty of water, and being fed on a schedule set by the owner. Your pets safety is my top priority.
About: I have 6 years total experience working at Harbor Road Veterinary Hospital as a Vet Tech/Assistant as well as caring for boarding animals. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats and 1 bearded dragon of my own that I care for everyday! I’m currently working full-time Monday Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and I spend weekends at home with three dogs and three cats. I will require a harness for walks! I would not want to be in a situation where your dog could get off leash and run off. I am willing to take dogs to the dog park and on walks! depending on the situation I may be able to fit in a walk and/or drop in during the weekdays, just reach out and ask! Boarding - dogs must be dog friendly! Cat friendly would be a plus but the cats can be put in a separate area. I work with Animals 4 days a week at Habor Road Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Tech/Assistant. I help provide routine care such as vaccines and Flea/tick/heart worm prevention (under the supervision of a licensed DVM), illness visits, blood panels, nail trims, dematting, etc. With my experience in the Veterinary Field I am confident I can provide a safe trusting environment where your dog/cat will have all their needs met and plenty of love while spending time with me.
About: I'm a genuine dog lover! I've always trained my dogs on basic tricks and commands.I'm aware that dogs have their own personalities, fears, and strengths. I work part-time. I have a flexible schedule. I'm open to having dogs in my house throughout the week and some weekends, if needed, and also just walks. I don't have a fenced yard. However, I will be with them out in my yard to assure a safe environment. I'll take them hiking or for walks around my area. They are welcome inside my house to sleep and rest.
“Vanessa is a wonderful pet sitter and we highly recommend her. She kept our pup happy and entertained, and also sent us many pictures throughout the day. She is kind, respectful, and knowledgeable about dogs. We highly recommend Vanessa and plan to have her pet sit for us in the future.”
About: Highlight: I am experienced with aggressive and reactive animals! Note: I am very flexible with pricing. If my rates seem too high, feel free to reach out anyway and I'll be happy to see see what we can work out. 😊 I have had animals in my home and life as long as I can remember. I have cared for countless dogs, cats, and small animals. At one point in my life I had seven dogs and a number of other pets. Animal care and rescue is my greatest passion. I am skilled at handling dogs and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperments. I have worked with aggressive and reactive dogs and have experience deescalating conflicts when they arise. I am more than happy to care for any kind of animals- not just dogs and cats. My own current pets are two dogs and four cats. I also have experience caring for small animals, various poultry and livestock, and horses. When I was 15 years old I started occasionally farm/house sitting for a family with dogs, horses, and a cat, and caring for all of the animals there during my stay. With them I have worked daytime hours as well as overnight stays for a few days at a time so they could take trips out of state. In my adult life I have branched out, first with Rover a few years ago, and then with expanding farther into launching my private pet care business at the beginning of 2024 while still maintaining my presence on Rover. My client base is steadily growing and I am excited to see where this venture takes me! I am reliable and committed to providing excellent service for my clients. If you want a pet caretaker you can count on who will treat your animals as well as their own, I'm your gal! I work part time as a BHP and I try to be as flexible as possible. My schedule changes depending on the time of year. Currently I work with my human client from 7:15 am - 8:15am and 2:30pm - 5:30pm on weekdays and am off on weekends. I take care of animal clients all days of the week. Please message me and I'll do my best to work something out. I take utmost care to keep animals in my care safe and properly contained. I make sure to follow whatever rules and structures are in place for the animals to ensure their safety. Pets are always leashed inside before heading for a walk and the leash isn't unclipped until we are back inside with a closed door. I am vigilant in looking out for potential risks (e.g. other animals, cars, bad things they could eat, etc) and making sure to give them a wide berth. In my own home I have any small animals carefully segregated into rooms that predator animals don't go into. Anytime I leave the room, I do a check and verify that all predators are outside the door so nobody can get hurt. I monitor the dog around the cats to make sure all interactions are safe. I have utlized crates and baby gates when necessary to keep animals safely contained and/or separated in the past. I am skilled at containing flight risk animals and watching out for their safety.
About: I have cared for both dogs and cats and I will care for yours like it is my own at all times so I hope you choose to hire me I am retired with plenty of free time for your animals and I would love to care for them like they are mine to care for I have a yard and a lovely home and I will always leash your dog when outside for safety and I like to kennel dogs when they sleep at night
About: Leave your pets with someone who makes them feel like you never left them. I will treat your babies like my own. They will not go a second without feeling they’re loved and cared for. I have a full time job besides this. It’s a 7:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday. I also have a part time job. You will know my schedule when we talk to see if it will be a good fit! Eventually I wanna do this as much as I can. So once I get frequent accounts I will be dropping my part time job and go from there! Taking care of someone else’s pets is a privilege. Yes, I am getting paid but I also take your trust in me taking care of your babies seriously. I will do as told and not do anything you wouldn’t approve of. I will take care of your pets the way I would want mine to be cared for. I always like to message frequently to give updates and picture! * ILL BE TAKING A DOG FIRST AID AND CPR CLASS SOON*
