“Brittney was a wonderful sitter for our fur baby, she took great care of her! She sent pictures and updates, left the house spotless - we were so pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
About: I love all animals, I do have experience with medication administration, or reactive types of dogs. I am experienced in senior care or helping in training puppies while I care for your pets I currently work per-diem, and attend school full time. I have weekends free and evenings and always free to pop in most times especially overnights. My pup sleeps with me, he is spoiled like my own child. All my animals are well cared for and happy. I am comfortable stopping in for checkups or walks or even overnight stays
“Great communicator and very capable with our dog that can be unfriendly to strangers. Thankful for the meet and greet and she was understanding of a last minute schedule change.”
About: In my house, our pets are our family and they rule the house. My goal as a pet sitter is to provide animals with the best care and put owners at ease while they’re away. I have found a passion for caring for others’ animals which started many years ago when i began volunteering. From volunteering, I have experience with many different breeds and sizes of both dogs and cats and I also have experience administering medication, taking care of dogs with special needs, and LOTS of drool! By word of mouth, I have gained many clients in my area and continue to provide the best care I can for every family and their furry friends! I am currently a sophomore at Siena College. Therefore, while classes are in session, I stick to weekends only. In the summertime, I am available every day of the week and I typically work 4-6 hour days. I offer in-home care at the convenience of you and your pets. Boarding is expensive and pets are nowhere nears as spoiled as they would be with me! Keeping your pets in your home while you are gone will ease their anxiety (as well as yours) and provide the best level of comfort for them. I offer the in-home care as well as dog walking and occasional drop-ins!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and other animals throughout my whole life. I enjoy my time with the animals and they can definitely tell! I do work everyday during the week, but I am available after work which would be 5pm sometimes sooner and also anytime on the weekends! I will do whatever I can to make sure your dog feels comfortable while here, whether it’s playing with them, petting or taking them on a walk!
“Tim was great. We booked a 5 hour whale watch tour and needed someone to walk/ take care of our dog in Bar Harbor while we were out. He works for the company to was able to help check us in and then take care of our dog for the day. We very much appreciated his willingness to help us!”
About: I've had dogs in my home at all times since I was born. We've had puppies, rescues and everything in between. I do not have my own pet, however, I've been house/dog sitting for 10 years now mainly by word of mouth. I'm excited to start this new adventure on Rover meeting and caring for your family(pups). I rent a home that comes with an acre of land. I like taking the pups on adventures such as hikes, ice creams dates, and swimming! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I'm free on the weekends so I will always be with your pup. On week days I generally work 9am-430pm so your pup would be alone roughly 8:30am to 4:45pm. My mom enjoys helping out and as long as they are a friendly dog, she will stop at my house halfway through the day to allow some stretching and potty breaks. I am diligent about keeping dogs on leashes as my yard is not fenced in. I also have a large lead that has worked well for other dogs I've watched. My house is always locked up. I have a clean driving record so your pups will always be safe if we travel at all. I have a number of references that can vouch for my honesty and integrity. If you are ever interested in hearing from my reference, please ask. I know the location of the nearest emergency vet if anything were to happen. I keep a clean, organized home so you won't have to worry about your dog getting into something they shouldn't, like the garbage!
“Kerrie is a wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of my baby dog for five days. I felt absolutely comfortable leaving my dog with her and it was the first time leaving my 7 month old puppy. Kerrie sent photos, videos and let me know how Marlee was doing regularly. She played with her and had puzzles and toys ready to keep my dog busy. Marlee seemed completely at ease and she was happy playing with Kerrie’s puppy Sadie. I highly recommend Kerrie and am already planning another trip knowing that my dog will be in such good hands!”
“Colleen was great! Very communicative, took excellent care of our old doggo, and was neat as a pin. No hesitation about asking her to come back.”
About: I currently live with 5 dogs, 3 cats, 2 bearded dragons, a leopard gecko and a hermit crab. There's no shortage of animal care within my house, but I've also had 3.5 years of dog daycare and boarding experience. In the past, I spent 3 months learning to pack walk and train. I do not offer training, but it would be helpful to know that I'm familiar with dog behavior and body language. Usually that brings some relief to people when entrusting a new person with their pets I'm between jobs at the moment and would love to continue making a living while combining my love for animals. Down the road, it would be nice to establish relationships with other pet owners and maybe start my own business revolving around pet care. I have pet sit for family friends in the past who had 3 dogs. One of them was a German Boxer and I was able to establish a friendly relationship with him. When he needed to go in his crate, he didn't give me a problem as soon as I put his leash on him. As for sleeping arrangements, I can crate dogs. If your dogs are friendly enough and it's okay with the owner themselves, I'm fine letting them sleep on the same bed and/or couch as me. If it isn't necessary to crate, they should have the freedom to move around as well.
About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a little kid! I have experience with pets of all types, ages & personalities. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, feed & housesit for their animals. I work full time time job but I have most mornings free. My schedule rotates so I would not be able to have the same availability every week, but please reach out with dates & times! I would love to make something work. I can come to your house and walk your dog. If you are interested in an overnight board at my house the dog would have to be good with my 15lb poodle mix & two cats. It would be ideal that the dog comes with a crate to stay in, as my dog is crated as well when we are out of the house. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I live near a dog park, and in a nice spot to walk dogs.
“My dogs absolutely adored Alissa! I think they were almost disappointed when we came home! The were happy and stress free and my house was tidy. I really do not think that you can ask for anything more.”
“I 100% highly recommend Mark to watch your babies. He is trust worthy, communicative, and reliable. Not only did I contact him with less than 24 hours notice, he followed my every direction perfectly and documented the whole experience via text with pictures. With a great sense of humor i appreciate while not being home, I would absolutely re-hire Mark again to watch my pups.”
“Honestly the best experience!!! Laura was SO amazing. She took great care of my pup (who’s basically my baby) and sent plenty of updates while I was away. I was a little nervous to have someone new watch my pup but it was totally worth it because now I have my new go to! THANKS SO MUCH LAURA, YOU’RE THE BEST!!!”
About: My love of dogs has taken me so many places! For over a decade, I worked as a guide dog instructor at an internationally recognized guide dog school, learning and putting into practice everything about dog behavior, training, and the human-animal bond. That time is long past, but I still just love dogs: their personalities, their quirks, and their people. I'm experienced with pups to seniors, the tiny to the giant, the healthy to the ailing. I try to help each dog feel comfortable and happy, and help their people feel the same way. 😊 I also have plenty of experience caring for other animals: cats, horses, goats, chickens... I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, so from Thursday night through Tuesday morning, dogs have a lot of human company all day long. Mid-week (Tues, Wed, Thurs), dogs are exercised in the morning, spend the work day relaxing at home, and the human fun begins again the evening. In my home: I have a large unfenced yard; boarding dogs are on long line to exercise outdoors and are not left unattended outdoors(!). I have one medium-sized, friendly dog, and one cat. I can crate your dog if you or they like, or give them a crate as an option. In your home: I am not the most straightforward or cheapest option for house-sitting; I have a dog of my own (can be accommodated elsewhere temporarily) and sometimes teenagers. However, I might be what you're looking for if you have special circumstances: multiple pets that need experienced management, pets with special medical or behavioral needs, or reliable care for a small farm.
About: For five years I have been pet sitting for coworkers, family, and friends. I have cared for small to large dogs, some lazy and many very high energy! I love being able to play with the pets to get their energy out and give them a good petting afterwards. Generally, I am available both ends of the day and most weekends. My full time job is flexible for the most part and can create my schedule to accommodate different gigs. I primarily have experience with overnight pet sitting at the client’s house. I am comfortable with both rural and more city environments. Privacy is important for me, so I will always respect the client’s privacy of their home. If uncomfortable with overnight stays, I will gladly travel to the client’s house in the morning and evenings to care for their pets.
About: I have 2 standard poodles and a golden doodle of my own and have been taking care of them the last 2 years! I want a client to have the same level of care that I provide for my dogs. I work a 9 to 5 job but am free after Monday through Friday with some added flexibility on Saturday’s and sundays. Available for house sitting with the understanding I would be gone during those hours Monday to friday I will walk your dog, play with them, feed them/ give them water, plenty of treats, and love them like my own!

“Jen was fantastic. She provided great communication and treated our babies like they were her own! 10000% recommend and will book again!”
About: Hey there – my name is Paris, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life (Boxers, Pitbulls, Frenchies). I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I'm currently a part-time student; so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have availability after 12 pm each day and have weekends open. I can fit you in anytime! I have a large yard and am committed to providing an environment that facilitate safe, informed, and positive experiences for the people and pets in my community.
