1. Glendon Y.


“Glendon was absolutely amazing with our reactive pup, Desmond while we were out of town for a few days. He has separation anxiety and can be tough to settle but Glendon was patient and persistent and they soon became buddies. This was a major accomplishment because Desmond usually prefers females over males. Glendon was also available on a very short notice and flexible with the times we requested which helped us out immensely. Our house was clean when we returned and he even made us food so we didn’t have to cook after traveling all day. This was the first time a new person has looked after Desmond and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands :)”

3. Soph R.
“Soph has taken great care of my cat Loki over the last couple years. Loki is a very social cat and Soph took time to play and bond with him in addition to regular feedings. Highly recommend Soph for any catsitting needs!”


4. Karen S.

“Couldn't have been better! Karen was awesome with our furry kids. They absolutely loved having her for a visit as did we. Part of me hates leaving such a great review for fear Karen will be booked when we need her....but fair is fair. We'll definitely be calling upon her again, and soon!”


5. Bohni K.

“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”


6. Nicole F.

“Nicole was punctual and dependable for the meet/greet. She is an excellent communicator and responded to messages before and during the service dates in a timely manner. The house was left clean and tidy; linens and towels were washed which was an unexpected gift! She and Stanley got along well and he appreciated the daily walks! We did, too, as well as the photos that Nicole sent. We were very pleased with her stay as Stanley’s sitter and highly recommend her!”


7. 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


8. Minu T.
About: I have 4 years of pet care experience professionally as well as lots of informal experience. I’m comfortable walking and sitting all kinds of dogs- different sizes, personality, and needs! I love animals and I love getting to know new dogs. I have experience with giving oral meds, working with reactive dogs, and not afraid to clean messes! I currently work Thursday-Saturday, but am available the other days of the week. I can work morning and evenings and I am flexible with scheduling I always ensure I have a secure grip on leashes so that they won’t slip out of my hand if a dog lunges or starts to run. I stay aware of my surroundings and monitor what’s on the ground and whether there are other dogs around. I am also happy to communicate with owners as much as they would like and give updates on their animals!


9. Harmony L.

“Harmony was great! Our dogs had such a good time with her they weren't all that excited to see us when we returned. We have a tracker for one of our dogs so we know they were walked a couple of times a day. Harmony brought her own dog, and he got along great with my "girls." We will definitely ask her to sit again.”


10. Brynn R.
About: I absolutely love dogs and am absolutely open to farm sitting larger animals as well if that is needed. I have many years of overnight dog sitting experience and have stayed in a place up to 2 weeks caring for pets. I have experience with young energetic dogs as well as older dogs that require special diets and medications. I also used to work for a pet-sitting company where I did drop in visits so am happy to do that as well! I currently have a very flexible schedule and can be checking on animals every few hours. I am a farmer and my full time work starts in April so I would be able to stay overnights still and do check ins during my lunch breaks so let’s aren’t left alone longer than 4-5 hours. I care for pets in whichever way a client likes having their pets taken care of! I cannot host pets in my apartment since I live in a very small space and my partner has a dog living there already.


11. Tiana T.

“Tiana was such a pleasure to work with. She stayed in house with three dogs who all seemed to attach to her seamlessly. The house was spotless when I came home. My first experience with Rover was exemplary.”


12. Caitlin H.

“Truly was so happy and relaxed with Caitlin!!”


13. Emily G.
About: I am an avid cat lover and owner my entire life. I currently have two of my own cats and look after friends animals when needed. After just completing the entire Appalchian trail ibwas away from my cats for 6 months. Pursuing a life dream was wonderful but devastating to be away from my babies for so long. Now that I am home, they are one of my biggest priorities and the highlight of my days. I'd love to get to know and love your pets as well! I am currently self employed and have the ability to work from home and make my own schedule. This leaves my availability for pet care pretty flexible! I think each family has their own way of operating. What works best for my cats may not work for yours or even for dogs. I will follow all given instructions and guidance to make the experience the most comfortable for your pets.


14. Jasmine S.

“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”


15. Bryanna M.
“I had great experience with Bry while I was working a long shift. She’s great with animals and did everything I asked. Highly recommended! :)”


16. David R.
“David is a reliable sitter that takes great care in his clients. My dog always comes back tired from walks and he is able to administer medicine to both the cats and dog.”


17. 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.


18. Caitlin A.
About: Hi I'm my name is Caitlin and I am currently a 23 year old business student. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my dog and enjoy the outdoors! I have experience dealing with all different sized dogs. I personally have a young German shepherd, so I am quite familiar with big dogs and the difficulties of puppy training. One of my favorite things to do with my dog is play fetch or take him for a walk around the neighborhood. If you're looking for someone to: entertain your dog, take them on a walk, feed/let them out, or watch them while you are away, then I am the person for you! I am located in Bangor, but willing to travel if needed!


19. Tyler W.
“Tyler has watched my two kitties several times over the past few years when I went to Fla for part of the winter. He took loving care, kept their area clean and they were fed and happy! He even sent me videos of them playing when I missed the little buggers. He is responsible and amazing interacting with my kitties!”


20. Isabella W.
About: My family and I have raised three dogs, two boxers and an English bull dog. From daily walks to nightly cuddles, I have cared for my pups in good health and post-oral and leg surgery. I have cared for my neighbors cats and have worked at a local shelter to take care of new litters (clean up, outside exposure). When I am at home in Maine, I often wake up to my dogs at my feet. I walk both of them (two boxers, total weight of 160) for at least an hour, feed them, cuddle, and give them an evening walk as well. When taking care of other's animals, I have a large backyard for dogs to play in. I live near many trails to walk on. I live in a communal space with housemates who would love to also play with your pup! When staying in your home, I have spent time in other's spaces when working as a summer cleaner. I will take care of your animal(s) to the best of my ability and can complete household chores if needed. My goal as an animal caretaker is for your animal(s) to feel comfortable and happy in the space.
