“Jennifer and her family took care of my dog for a week while we were out of town. Her detail to his well-being was exceptional and she offered many additional things such as giving him a bath, cleaning a gooey ear, offered to trim his nails and a calming care supplement for his nervous sensitivity. Upon return, I could see he had been in good hands! In the past when we’ve gone, he’s ended up with hotspots from stress, but this time his coat was healthy, and he seemed to relaxed.”

“Erin did an amazing job with my fur babies. Would absolutely book her again! My house was clean and she washed bedding! She also did a lot of shoveling snow while we were away! So appreciative of all she did!”

About: I have a dog allergy that I take medicine for. I am willing to work with dogs. I am hoping that exposure to dogs will help my allergies improve. I am flexible with my schedule. I can accommodate and move around my days depending on your needs. I have a 4 year old, so it will all hinge on her care. I have a senior cat living with me. I know how to follow dietary or physical restrictions set by the pets' owners. Clear instructions are key.
“She did a great job with my two boys. She communicate daily and even took the time to do somethings I told her on how to extra spoil them. I can honestly after a few years of trying I've finally found someone I trust dog/housesit.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15 mostly for my moms coworkers and family members who were going on trips. I would stay overnight for them and watch over their pets. I've fed, watched, bathed, and walked their pets for a day or overnight at times as well. I'm currently working part time but only work on Tuesdays from 3:30-5 as of right now. My classes end relatively early but also start later depending on the day so early/mid-day/evening walks/visits are very flexible with my classes and work schedule. I need another source of income and LOVE dogs :) I will give your pet 100% of my attention the entire time I am at your home. I will take them on walks if you request me to and I will play with them until they fall asleep. I will give your dog as much love and care as I would give my own.

About: I have years of experience with a variety of special needs pets. I work from home so there is plenty of time for playtime, exercise and lots of snuggles. Your home or mine. Short stay or long. I’ll give your furry friend the VIPet treatment they deserve! My work from home schedule is pretty flexible and I’m available for drop off/pick up most anytime between 9am and 7pm, seven days a week I live in a spacious house with a big yard in a very dog friendly neighborhood. It’s a popular area for walking, and a short stroll to nearby hiking trails.
“Melissa did an awesome job taking care of my two fur babies for a week. I recommend her for any of your needs. I have one dog who has to have medication very morning and one dog who is anxious over everything and I am more than pleased to have come home to a happy home.”
“Liseli did an amazing job taking care of my dog and 2 cats when I went away for the weekend. We even had a minor medical emergency with my dog that she immediately called me about and got him the medical care he needed and stayed in close communication with me through the process. All my animals seemed relaxed and content when I got back. I can tell she made them all feel safe and loved, which I so so appreciate. I highly recommend her and definitely hope to hire her again in the future.”

About: I love dogs a whole lot, I’m a boxer dad myself. I’ve taken care of dogs for a while now and am the one people call when they need their pets taken care of. I’m excited to care of your pups whether that be a short dog walk or sitting while your away on vacation. I’m working part time while I’m in school so I have a lot of free time for things like this. I take care of a dog myself so adding a few more will do no harm. My dog loves to play inside and out as well as long walks and a big bone to relax. I’m gentle with dogs but can also calm one down really quick.
About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! I love all animals. I currently work for an Equestrian Center where I help care for over 30 horses. I have two part time jobs, but I only work in the evenings and am available for the rest of the day! I’ll do my best to work around any schedule I have five cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade or organic treats (if allowed!) I also have a dog and several reptiles who are beyond loved!
About: I am just a young 18 year old kid that loves dogs and is looking to spend some more time with them. While also making some money! I am currently taking online classes at the University of Maine Orono and am looking for a part-time job like this to make some money at the same time. Ever since I can remember my family and I have had 2 dogs in our house that each have problems of their own. But we love and care for them no different then we love and care for each other.
“Atlas was absolutely amazing! She watched my two dogs while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I chose her specifically because of her expertise with nervous dogs—my chihuahua is usually very shy around new people, but the second they met I felt completely at ease. Atlas sent frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. She will definitely be my go-to dog sitter from now on”

“Michelle thank you! I appreciated the photos you shared during your 5 day stay at my home. It felt great knowing my kitty had company. And my home looked just as it had when I left! You even stripped the bed. Above and beyond what I expected. I will recommend your services to any who inquire:)”

About: I have over 5 years experience on Rover and Wag, I’ve pet sat for over 15 years, I foster dogs when I’m not pet sitting, and I work from home so I can provide around the clock care! I work remotely, so when I’m pet sitting I can provide care around the clock. The pets I take care of are never alone for more than one hour. I treat all pets in my care like family. They are allowed on furniture and in beds, get plenty of time outside, and lots of cuddles.
“Yvette was phenomenal. Our dogs received exceptional attention and care in our absence. Our Frenchie Hazy is paralyzed due to IVDD and requires medical care including bladder expressions. Ivette did an outstanding job caring for her, as well as followed all care instructions. Our home was left in better condition than when we left it. We will definitely hire her again to care for our pups.”

“One of my favorite Rover sitters! Communication was great! Fallowed directions. I came back after a long day to happy tired dogs. Falisity walked and played with my dogs. If you are at Shore Hills campground look for her on Rover”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have been pet sitting for family, friends and anyone in need for the last three years! I have experience with both puppies between the ages of six months and two years old and senior dogs up to the age of 13. I am currently working part-time as a nanny most Thursdays through Saturdays, I am typically always available during the beginning of the week and work some half day shifts nannying so my schedule is open to changes. I always ask my clients to provide me with a strict set of rules and requirements, so that both myself, and the client feel comfortable with me being in the space.
“We had Rhonda spend a night with our older boy Lincoln. She was a wonderful dog/house sitter. She replied immediately to our short notice request and communicated with texts and pics during her stay. Lincoln was in good hands and we would highly recommend her sitting services. Thnx Rhonda!”
