About: Hi everyone! I grew up in Minnesota in a house full of spaniels. Since then, I have dog-sat for family and friends for short and extended periods! I have also raised a fur baby of my own- my (almost 2) year old Sussex Spaniel, Gus. Pet care fits into my daily/ weekly schedule naturally, as I have a dog of my own. I’m currently working a fully remote job, and can accommodate pet needs easily throughout the day! I build my day around making sure my dog gets enough love, care, attention, and exercise, and will do the same for yours! I strive to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or yours. At my place, I have a friendly dog that would love to play and keep yours company. At yours, I will respect the space and routine, provide regular updates, and give your dog plenty of attention and affection!

“Jennifer was outstanding! She immediately put both me and my dog at ease. I absolutely would encourage folks to consider using her for their pet care needs. Great communication and a nice spotless environment.”


About: I've always had dogs in my life, and I think they deserve to be treated with love, patience & spoiled too! I'm comfortable with teacup-sized to the biggest dogs. I have a lab named Penne who loves to welcome new friends into our home! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give pups all the love they need during their stay. I usually walk Penne 3x a day in Deering Oaks & let her run around the fenced-in yard if the weather is nice. For puppies I can do more-frequent runs! I am generous with treats, happy to have pets on furniture, and love to give pups love. I understand the concern with leaving your pup behind during work or a trip all too well, so I'm happy to give regular updates & pictures!

About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.

“Alexandra was fantastic! She took wonderful care of my Rusty. She shared pictures and responded immediately to my inquiries about him. Rusty had a great time. I will definitely use Alexandra again.”


“my pup always loves going to see lucy and ikenna! and they always take such great care of him! i always get updates through the day, and he gets lots of love and playtime!”



“Joshua and his wife were amazing with my dog while we were visiting the area. They sent pictures and videos and were so flexible and accommodating. It was obvious that my dog was very happy to stay with them during the day.”


About: About five years ago, I began fostering animals—mostly dogs—and quickly discovered how much I enjoy spending time with them. Since then, I've fostered dozens of dogs of various sizes and breeds. Each one has had their own unique and often hilarious personality. Fostering comes with its own set of challenges, especially building trust with an animal in a short amount of time. Over the years, I’ve done a considerable amount of training, as pets with basic obedience skills are more likely to be adopted. I work from home and understand how important—and sometimes difficult—it is to find someone reliable to care for your pet. I'm highly communicative, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is being cared for with the utmost attention and love. I live in a great suburban neighborhood that’s perfect for dog walks and playtime. I am a remote employee for a tech company and have a very flexible schedule. I work out of a clean room with a lovely patio off from it that overlooks the backyard. Because of my work schedule, I’m flexible to look after pets with differing needs, walk schedules etc. I don’t have any pets or young children in my home, so visiting or boarding pets get my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My top priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When pets stay with me, I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or administering any medications. I know how important consistency is, especially when they're in a new environment. If I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I treat the space with respect and follow all instructions carefully to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for the pet. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Every dog has their own unique personality. I take great joy in getting to know every dog I meet and spend time with. They are not just pets they are our companions our best friends, our family. I have two dogs and two cats of my own so I understand how hard it can be to leave them and know that they will be well cared for. I look forward to helping to ease some of the stress involved with that. I have many years experience with special needs dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I would love to care for your pet in anyway I can. I have a pretty flexible schedule so reach out and find out if I am available, I will do the best I can to accommodate. I very mindful of your home and will leave things as is or as instructed. Our pets can sometimes have accidents and I will always clean up in anyway needed. I try and send you lots of photos of your pet(s) and provide updates. I am the first to reach out if there is anything of concern or in need or urgent attention. My goal is to leave your pet happy, healthy and ready for a nap by the end of my visit.

Over 104 pet parents in Gorham have booked doggy day care
Gorham dog parents share their Rover experiences
Christina was amazing! Our dog has severe separation anxiety, but he loved Christina almost immediately when he met her. We were able to leave our pup with her without him having any issues of separation from us, which was quite amazing. She is gentle, kind, and was fabulous keeping up updated with our fur-baby.

I can't express how grateful I am for the wonderful pet-sitting experience we had! From the moment I met Bethany, I could tell my 11-year-old energetic cockapoo, Indy, was in great hands. Bethany was incredibly sweet and kind, making sure Indy felt comfortable right away. Bethany's daughter played with Indy, running around with him and giving him the exercise he desperately needed. By the time I picked him up, he was tired and happy-just the way I like him. It was clear Bethany went above and beyond to make Indy feel cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing Indy was with someone who genuinely cared for him, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend this pet sitter to anyone. Thank you, Bethany, for treating Indy like your own!
