Sarah was wonderful! Our boy, King had a happy long weekend with Sarah! She sent plenty of updates and photos and made it easy to get out of town and we didn’t feel rushed to return. We will happily leave our fur baby in her care again! Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our boy!

Alison is fantastic! My dog Porter had such a great time with her. Her communication, willingness to run/exercise with Porter, and her flexibility was wonderful. Such a relief to know that my dog is comfortable and enjoying himself hanging out with Alison as much as I enjoyed my vacation! Highly recommend!

Rose was amazing! We feel so fortunate to have come across Rose on Rover. We immediately felt comfortable entrusting her with our Maggie. Rose kept us up to date with cute photos and messages throughout Maggie’s stay. She handled Maggie and all her issues with ease and a smile. She even won our stubborn Maggie’s affectation which is high praise from Maggie! I would 100% use Rose’s service again and recommend her to everyone.

Andrew clearly has knowledge re dogs and cared for Milo as if he was his own. He is upbeat, experienced, professional and a pleasure to work with. He took the time to find out quirks and pertinent details about Milo, which I appreciated! I feel safe dropping my little guy off with Andrew for a day or an extended stay. Milo looks forward to seeing him soon!

Elizabeth was a wonderful caretaker for my dog while I was away for 5 days. She is clearly intuitive and knowledgeable about dogs. She knew how to keep him calm and comfortable, and made sure he got plenty of exercise every day! He came home a happy and tired pup. I would definitely book her again!

Jesse takes his job of caring for dogs very seriously. I trusted Jesse to take care of my dog for a week while I was traveling. There’s not many people I fully trust with my fur-baby! Jesse loves dogs and you can see the joy is his eyes when he watches them play. He’s patient, but firm when necessary and strong enough to handle Big dogs.

About: Hiya my name is Kristen! I have been a veterinary technician for 3 years and worked in a doggy daycare for more than a year. I have been a pet sitter for local clients at my veterinary hospital for the past 2 years. I am passionate about all animals, from scales, feathers, blubber and to dog fur. Yes blubber! I interned at Marine Mammals of Maine, where we rehabilitated Harbor Seals. I am currently a pet sitter for clients at the veterinary hospital I work for. I have established trustworthy relationships with over 10 families. I love connecting with pets, treating them like my own and loving them while their family is away making them feel safe and comfortable. I am hoping to extend my clientele and spread stress free fun care to your pets! And with my veterinary knowledge, I will keep your pet safe and if an emergency occurs, I have veterinary knowledge to access the solution, will contact you, and respond quickly. I am currently in the process of going from full time at work to working at the vet hospital part time and attending school to become an X ray tech in the fall. I will have a lot more free time than and hoping to fill in my study breaks with a fresh breath of air with a furry friend! To fill my time between classes, I’d love to adventure around with your fur baby! Currently, my schedule is free to overnight pet sit at any time. I have free time before work, after and during lunch breaks. I am starting school in the fall to become and X ray tech. I will be in school full time but have free afternoons and will have a lot of free time that I do not normally have. I’d love to fill that time with giving your dog some kisses and boops on the nose! I only pet sit cats in my home on a rare case. I prefer to stay at someone’s home, which allows for house sitting. I do not have the right space for a dog to stay at my home.

About: Hi! I've had a variety of dogs over the years and am veterinary trained. I have an older Boston Terrier and am comfortable giving meds. Would love to take care of your pooch and have extra company in the house for Ella. I'd like to have two dogs consistently on the weekends. I occasionally go into work for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday (every two months, or so) but otherwise am available at home to give frequent walks, care, breaks, etc. I have a large, unfenced yard and am close to Payson Park and walking trails. My space is comfortable and dog-friendly. I prefer to take my dog on a couple of long walks each day with frequent potty breaks.

Barbara is top notch! She proved to be reliable by showing up for pick up 10 minutes early and dropping Pepper off even at a later hour as we requested. We spent about 10 minutes to give Pepper & Barbara a chance to feel each other out. I could tell pepper immediately felt safe and comfortable with her. Barbara was open to learning about all Pepper’s quirks, routines, and behaviors. Most definitely Barbara has become Pepper’s go to sitter!

Yuki was so great with our dog, Sadie! Her apartment is perfectly set up to welcome a dog and had toys at the ready. She kept Sadie entertained while we discussed her routine and needs. We felt very relieved to have found Yuki for Sadie's overnight care and we got some happy pictures of her while we were away. Yuki was very communicative and we appreciated her flexibility on timing of the drop offs and pick up. We look forward to having Yuki care for Sadie again. Thank you!

Jessica was great! Monty obviously was well cared for and had lots of love and attention. Jessica was super quick getting back to us with any communications. She was friendly, easy-going, and flexible about making arrangements. Her location is on the Peninsula in Portland so very convenient if that's where you're located. So glad she was there to take care of our mutt. ;p)
