“Thanks Karen for watching Jack! He came home tired and slept for a whole day. He got lots of exercise at your home. Thanks for the cute pics too.”

Denise H.

“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”

“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”

Kim H.

“Great family. We are so glad that we found Kate. Our Monet hound dog was treated well with love for the whole week while we were out of town. Kate communicated well with details on how good things were going and photos too. Monet definitely settled in well with Kate and her family. We highly recommend looking into Kate watching your pet.”

“We were in the town for July 4th and Tantai was very much accommodating and took good care of John snow. Would definitely recommend to take care of your pets.”

Deepak D.

“Daisy did a great job taking care of my precious dog Bailey on 10/26/23! She sent unsolicited pictures and texts throughout her stay to keep me up to date with how things were going and was very quick to respond whenever I texted her! Lastly, when I picked her up, Bailey was all brushed out and looking great!”

Mark M.

“My puppy Mabel stayed with Ana and her crew for a week over Christmas. We received daily photos and updates, which really helped with any anxiety. Mabel was able to socialize with other dogs, continue her crate training, and play outside constantly! She came back tired but happy and that's all we could ask for!”

Kate L.

“Upon meeting Joseph and Nieves while dropping Lucy off, I knew she’d be in great hands. Lucy loved them both immediately and felt right at home. Joseph and Nieves have a beautiful home that is totally dog friendly. You instantly feel their genuine love for dogs as soon as you walk in. Joseph went above and beyond by sending lots of photos and videos of Lucy and I can’t express enough how amazing it feels to be worry free when leaving your beloved dog with someone, especially overnight. Lucy had a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend Joseph highly enough! I will definitely be leaving Lucy again in Joseph and Nieves’ loving care.”

“Danielle was great with Blueberry and was so understanding when I had an unexpected delay.”

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. Actually, I’m very proud of my heel teaching method if you want me to teach your dog. Also dogs since my calm, and I treat them with respect. I currently work as a B&B host in the summers, leaving my winters, fully open schedule wise. Hosting for over four years so I know how to make sure you get a five star experience. We have a fenced yard hard floors, dog kennels, and everything a dog would need. I have a golden retriever named Sadie, who is very sociable goes to the dog park super friendly. I work for myself managing properties and are able to bring any pets with me to job sites if needed.

About: My husband and I have always had dogs and cats. We recently said good bye to our 2 16 year old mini-doxies. We miss the pitter patter of their paws and are looking to fill that gap. Although we are not ready to be full time pet parents right now, we would love to take care of your pups. As we had a paralyzed doxie and one with diabetes, we are adept at administering medication and expressing male bladders. I work out of the home 2-3 days a week and volunteer drive for a local organization. Your pup would not be left for more than 4 hours without me or my husband checking in. At Our Home: We have a small fenced in yard. No pet is left unattended when outside. Walks and hikes with your pup are always an option, either in the neighborhood or if they like to ride in the car, there are many trails nearby. At Your Home: I will follow whatever instruction you give me. My preference is to watch your pup in your home as they will be most comfortable there, but they are welcome in my home as well.

“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

“We used to leave Rigby with the same pet sitter for many years, upon their closing we had yet to find a reliable pet sitter other than family and friends. We saw Krista's reviews and decided to try it out for a weekend. I am so glad we did, Krista cared for Rigby in her home just how we were used to! I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

Bethany R.

“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”

About: I have many years of experience training and caring for my own dogs as well as pet sitting for others. References available at your request. I work from home and spend a great amount of time with my dogs. My job allows a lot of flexibility when conforming to client pet schedules. I have a woods road behind my house where we take walks several times per day. The house is large and has a lot of open space for pets.

“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: I know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. I am currently in school part time and I work as a house cleaner on the days that I do not have school. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them, while checking on the pups throughout the day and staying overnight with the pups! My partner, his 6 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together. While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!

About: I have a corgi puppy 10 months name Olivia, she loves to play with other dogs and go on walks. So if you want your dog to have a friend and walk . We are your girls. I work full time so I am not available until after 3 pm most days but have 3 days a week where I am open I have a 2 bedroom apartment and will follow your directions with your pets, like no, jumping on the furniture, meal times and crates. Thanks hope to meet your babies

About: I’ve offered pet care for family and friends since I was a child, and have continued to own, care for, and pet sit critters of all kinds. I’m an educator, so I have the benefit of being home during the summer to provide more flexible levels of pet care during this time. My location offers a fenced in yard, as well as individual rooms/floors to provide more private areas for those who require wind down time. I have several larger crates on site and have space for crating as well.
