About: I have taken care of family, friends, and neighborhood, pets since I was young! From meeting all of the new pets I have learned that each has their own unique personality-no two pets are the same! With that comes different approaches to earn their trust and create a bond. I am currently on summer break from teaching so my days are pretty available for the next few weeks. Once school starts my availability will change to the later afternoon. I am a very versatile pet sitter! I have spent time with pets where they just need some company and they get all the love, some want all the love and a nice walk outside. My two fur babies are polar opposite energy wise so I know how important it is to meet the needs and play with one of my cats, and how the other just needs someone to give her a lot of love while she naps!

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.

McKenna was a GREAT pet sitter. She was on time and did all the tasks asked and even filled the bird feeders. Best of all, Stormy was excited to see her each day for food and pets. Her photos were so appreciated and so well done. I really appreciated her daily updates.

About: I used to foster for the humane society. Loved it!! I haven't done it on over a year due to getting a new puppy of my own but would love to help out again some day. I own my own cleaning business owners so I can make my own schedules. So all pets get lots of attention!! Lots of running and fresh air. We do not have a fenced in yard but have a wireless fence with collars available for use. Pets will still be watched while outside. I have 2 dogs so there is always play buddies.

Rachel provided wonderful care for our three dogs and 2 cats while we were away. She stopped by for drop-in visits and stayed for two overnights. She was very professional and continued to provide photo and written updates through the Rover app. She was attentive to the needs and individual personalities of our pets. Our pets appeared relaxed and happy under her care. We definitely recommend Rachel's services and would love to have her sit for us again!

Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.

About: What sets me apart is the care and intention behind everything I do 🤍🐾 I’m the owner of Mindsett Paws, built around creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet. I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them like they’re my own. I currently work at a dog (and cat!) daycare, where I care for a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. This has helped me learn how to read behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide structured, dependable care. ✨ I’m especially experienced with: • Dogs of all energy levels • Anxious or sensitive pets • Creating a calm, structured environment • Cat care (feeding, litter, attention on their terms) I’m reliable, patient, and very attentive, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Because they’re not just pets… they’re family 🤍🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life 🤍🐾 I currently work at a dog (and cat!) daycare, so I’m used to being around animals daily and caring for different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Because of that, pet care naturally fits into my schedule and is something I truly enjoy. Outside of work, I structure my routine to make sure I have the time, energy, and attention to give each pet consistent, reliable care. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment, just like I do with Mindsett Paws. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I build my routine around 🤍🐾 they feel as comfortable and at ease as possible 🤍🐾 In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—while keeping the environment calm and consistent. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, updates, and reassurance while you’re away. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and cozy space where pets can relax and feel at home. I focus on structure, supervision, and creating a low-stress environment, while still giving them plenty of love, play, and one-on-one attention. Through Mindsett Paws, my goal is always the same— ✨ Keep your pet safe ✨ Keep their routine consistent ✨ And make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like they’re my own Because they’re not just pets… they’re family 🤍🐾

Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!

About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm from Northern California and moved to Maine last year. Growing up we always had dogs (and sometimes cats), so I learned to take care of pets from a young age. I was the go-to person in my neighborhood for pet-sitting and dog-walking. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies! I'm currently only working through Rover, so my schedule is very flexible right now! I'm available for drop-ins, all-day stays and overnights, as well as for long-term pet-sitting in your home. I love making every animal feel cared for - from playing with them, going on long walks outside, providing pets and cuddles, giving them occasional treats, etc. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also love to send little text and video updates, so you can check in on them while you're away. I've even done FaceTimes with pets and their owners!
