“Karen did a wonderful job with Winona. She picked Winona up from the motel where we stayed in Bar Harbor for the evening. Winona enjoyed time playing with Karen's dogs and tuckered out fast! Highly recommend Karen for your pet sitting needs!”


2. Jaclyn N.


“Jaclyn took wonderful care of our dog. She clearly loves dogs and took her on lots of walks and field trips. I received several photos of my dog on outings as well as in her home. She responded quickly to our initial request and was flexible when we had to adjust our schedule.”


3. Melissa R.

“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!”


4. Krista T.

“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!”


5. Kate B.

“Kate was a gem and truly saved us when we were in a pinch. My dog had a severe allergy flare up when we were on vacation and was in need of a rest day with some TLC. Kate and family went above and beyond to give him all of the blankets, cuddles, and relaxation he needed while we continued hiking in high humidity and wet conditions. I’m super careful about who cares for Tux and am glad I put my trust in Kate! We made it home without worsening Tux’s allergies, and he’s doing much better now.”


6. Harmony L.
“Harmony is an amazing pet sitter. Our dog Walt loves spending time with her while we are away. She treats him so well, taking him hiking and playing with him. She sends pictures and updates to let us know he is not only well, but living his best life when he’s with her. Any pet in her care is going to be happy and healthy and well loved!”


7. Emily & Leroy M.

“Emily was amazing at taking care of my doggos. She spoiled them with many walks and love. She sent lots of pictures to keep us updated. She only reached out with questions if absolutely necessary ensuring we had a worry free vacation.”


8. Shmerl B.

“My puppy had such a great time staying overnight. She took great care and treated Acadia like her own dog. Excited to have a great place for her to stay when we need it.”


9. Daisy H.

“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!”


10. Debbie F.

“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!”


11. Chassity H.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was young. As well as many farm animals. I just separated from the military and kind of wanting to do something that makes me happy for a while. Which is getting to love on all the fur babies. I can give medicine as I have been treating my pup now for a few years. I can also take them for walks if wanted. Pretty free schedule can accommodate last minute bookings. As far as the weekly routine if I’m booked I will be with your pups as long as you’d want me there to entertain them. Would love to discuss house rules before hand, such as are they allowed on the furniture, what are feeding times, do they get crated at night? I would also like to do a meet and greet before as well, that way they have met me and im not just a new person to them while their people are gone.


12. Jessica R.
About: I have been looking after animals my whole life. I love them so much I made a career out of it as a Vet Tech and get to comfort and take of them everyday! I am happy to care for anything from puppies to senior dogs and medical case animals. 💖 I currently have a dog of my own. I work part time and am in school the other half. I am free most days and am very flexible with my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have 2 fenced in yards. I have a quite space separate from the household and provide lots of calm positive love for any animals in my care. I'm happy to play and acclimate to each animals needs


13. Amber L.
“Amber has watched my hound dog, Dazzle, many times when my family and I went on weekend trips and vacations. Amber would stay at our house while watching Dazzle. Throughout our time away, we received many pictures and videos of Dazzle playing in the house, resting, and on fun walks and adventures with Amber. I never needed to wonder how Dazzle was doing because I already knew. When returning home from our trips, our house was always cleaner than how we left it and Dazzle was calm yet excited to see us. Amber is a great dog caregiver (and any animal for that matter!) I recommend her to anyone searching for a loving and responsible human whether you're gone for one day or one month.”


14. Cameron B.
“Cameron is a wonderful person, she loves all animals. Cameron is very caring and has a big heart. She has watched my dogs numerous times. She loves to walk them and run them, she pays attention to there needs. and was always there when I needed her. I trust her completely with my fur babies.”


15. Kylie H.
“Kylie is a big animal person. I’ve never seen somebody who’s gone out of their way as much as she has to save every stray and love every animal. She’s the most compassionate person I’ve met when it comes to any animal cats, dogs, reptiles and even bugs. She’s got a big heart for animals and I have no doubt that she’ll end up owning a rescue one day to peruse her dreams of working with animals in need.”


16. Mataya H.
“Mataya is an experienced and loving pet owner of cats and dogs. She also grew up with a variety of animals, some of which required special care. She is friendly, caring and treats all animals with love and respect. She is also a trustworthy person and can be counted on to fulfill her commitments. She will take care of your pets as if they were her own!”


17. Brooke K.
“Brooke is such a loving dog care giver. She has grown up with dogs and has walked and taken care of our dogs for many years, confident with all dog personalities and all breeds of dogs. I know when she’s caring for my dogs they are safe.”


18. Gwendolyn G.
About: I’ve had pets all my life and i’ve raised several litters of puppy’s and kittens. I’ve volunteered at several pet shelters as well. I love working with animals I am fully open availability, here when you need me! I usually will reply fast and diligently and be most accommodating to your schedule. t I won’t walk dogs for longer than 5 minutes if the ground is too hot for my own feet. I would prefer you have a fenced in yard but if not that is ok


19. Natalie I.
“Natalie has grown up in a house with dogs all her life. She has been a trusted, reliable, and loving pet sitter for numerous neighbors and friends for a number of years. She is what I call “dog people”. The dogs (and cats) love her. As we know, dogs are the best judges of character and they (and their pet parents) are beyond happy when Natalie is tasked with caring for them. She would be an excellent addition to Rover. The dogs & cats will be fortunate to be in her care.”


20. Madison R.
“Madison does a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. She is warm and loving and adapts to each dog’s personality. She is reliable, trustworthy and flexible. Highly recommend!”
