“Ariana was amazing with our two dogs and cat! She was so caring and went above and beyond to make sure our pets were well taken care of and comfortable while we were away.”

“Jocelyn did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a few days! She was always reliable and communicative. She even won the heart of my very nervous cat🩷 My babies can’t wait to see her again!”

“Casey was fantastic with Salty. She made sure all of this needs were met and provided detailed updates after every visit. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was in such good hands.”

“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”

“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a little kid, which made picking my career so easy. I’ve been a vet tech for over 5 years and have experience taking care of people’s pets both in a hospital and at home! I have a 6 year old lab mix that I adore, and I promise to make your pets feel loved and safe when they are with me! I currently work at a veterinary hospital M, T, Th, F. I can do walks and at home services on Wednesday and weekends. If these days don’t work just let me know and I can work around it! If I’m watching pets at my home I have great dog parks at my complex and live in a safe area to take them on walks. If I’m at your home they will get lots of play time, walks, and attention while I’m caring for them.
“Eva was awesome! She was super responsive and did a great job caring for our dog Otto. She made sure to keep us updated for her entire visit. We are so grateful for her help! We will definitely have Eva watch Otto again in the future.”

About: Animal fosterer with 2 years of experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, plenty of free time, and a genuine love for all animals. Ready to provide attentive, caring pet sitting! I currently work full time in South Portland, but I find watching animals so rewarding so I highly prioritize caring for your pet! I can take walks/potty breaks every few hours except during the workday which would be 8 hours depending on the commute from my work! I only offer house sitting as my home currently has other animals living in it. I love to go to beaches and dog parks or just sit and keep the animals company!

“Gigi has been absolutely fabulous with my dog Thor these past few weeks. She takes excellent care of him. Takes him for a walk around my house, fills up the water bowl and sits on the porch with him. She also gives a great detailed update on the rover card of what he did during her stay with him and sends lots of photos. I have been so happy to have her take care of Thor while we are at work and puts me at ease knowing she is there to let him out on those long days. Will definitely rebook again!!!”
“Elizabeth took great care of our cats! She took pictures and provided detailed descriptions of each visit, and took initiative when necessary. We would absolutely hire her again!”

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I grew up around big dogs and cats, raised two big fur babies of my own, and have dog sat for lots of friends and family. I also worked as a professional pet sitter for a local CO company and became certified in pet CPR/first aid. I took some time off for grad school and now I’m excited to get back into it! I work from home full time so you can be assured that your baby will get lots of love, attention, and exercise. After raising my own wild husky, I feel more than capable to help with any training or exercise needs. Please note, I only do dog sitting and walks as I find dogs are more comfortable in their own home. I do my best to take care of them the same way you would! I look forward to meeting you and your babies soon :) I work from home full time so I am able to do morning, midday, and evening potty breaks and snuggles every day of the week! When in your home, I try to take care of your pets the same way that you would. I know the importance of a routine to help them stay calm and comfortable!
“Ashley is wonderful. She communicates, send tons of photos, and is extremely trustworthy. We would absolutely hire her again! Lucky to have found her in such short notice as well. Thank you Ashley 👏🏽”


“Lori is amazing with Joey—I trust her completely. There are only a handful of people I’d feel comfortable leaving him with, and she’s absolutely one of them. She’s great at communicating how he’s doing, sharing updates on his mood and how the visit went, and always makes sure he gets plenty of love.”

“Nishat aka The Cat Whisperer was incredible!! She took wonderful care of our cats and home while we were gone for 10 days. She sent pictures and updates which was fantastic. Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had!”

“Peter is consistently great! He takes wonderful care of my two older dogs, they look forward to his visits. He is very thoughtful and always willing to clean up accidents and bring inside packages that get delivered.”

About: Beginning 12/1/25, I am moving to Biddeford. I work, remotely, in Westbrook. I am most open to jobs in or between those two locations. My schedule is flexible. I do not currently have a dog of my own. I love dogs and enjoy their company. We take walks, play fetch, etc. I've had several pets over the years, both dogs and cats. I am an active person and go out walking several times per day to break up my own work routine. What I am trying to create is an experience for the dog and/or cat to relax and enjoy. I want the opposite of a kennel environment, which I think stresses most dogs out. I talk to the animals in my company. I take time out to pet them and and talk to them. I do appreciate their company and respect their routines. Dogs and other animals have always naturally gravitated toward me. I am calm by nature, and also smart, well educated, and organized. I am a careful person, quite conscientious. I love dogs and cats. While the master is off on an adventure, there is no reason why the dog(s) and cat(s) can't be having fun as well. I work remotely. My schedule is completely flexible. I make my own hours. I can easily build my day around my pet care services for Rover dogs and cats. I most prefer caring for pets in their own home where they are amidst the familiar objects and smells and routines of their normal life.
