About: Animal Care Technician with extensive experience with dogs, cats and rodents. Cannot train but am trained on proper handling, walking and administering oral medication. 19 years of experience with dogs from pup to elder (including dogs with medical issues) and 5 years experience with cats from kitten to elder (including cats with medical issues). I am currently not working and have a flexible schedule for anyone looking for booking! I will not be allowing boading or doggy day care at this time due to remodeling but I am willing to house sit, do scheduled drop in's and dog walking. My current schedule includes every day except for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings due to current client bookings. I do not currently house any pets but I have owned dogs and cats for years before and have extensive experience caring for pets of family and friends.

“Erica has been so amazing with Leo! Leo tends to be nervous of new people and reactive so I was very apprehensive about having someone new walk him. Erica took her time with Leo, doing a meet and greet and test walk before and was patient in allowing him to gain trust in her. He’s making such great progress with Erica and it’s so nice to have found someone who is so sweet and loving towards him and who can be trusted. Erica is very reliable, coming at the scheduled time each day and even willing to make last minute adjustments when needed. I can’t say enough how amazing Erica has been and how much Leo and I appreciate her for her help!”

About: 🐱🐶 Animals have been my whole world my whole life! I have experience with a variety of animals from fish 🐠 to turtles🐢 as well as dogs🐕 and cats🐈‍⬛. I use positive reinforcement training techniques with our three rescue dogs and I use worship all cats techniques with our cats 😆. I am comfortable and familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. So medication💊 and physical therapy💪 exercises are something I am happy to provide! I went to college for animal behavior and animal sciences and have a degree in Ecology 🌎 I completed a 2 year course in wildlife rehabilitation. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and that means they get the utmost care and attention. 🫡 I will respect and follow whatever your babies' needs and preferences are as well as yours when it comes to them and to your space. 💓 We love taking our dogs on all sorts of outdoor adventures but safety is always our top priorty⛰️🦺! I am great at reading animals and understanding the different personalities and quirks they each have so I can provide them with the best care that works for them 🧐 Every animal is different but they all deserve our best! I have a flexible schedule and my own car that allows me to be an adaptive and on call care giver. I don't mind late bookings or cancelations as I understand that things come up. I am new to rover and still figuring out what works best but am always willing to work with clients on what works best for them and their pets. Animals are my first priority but I also believe homes and personal spaces are sacred and I will always treat them with respect and attention. All animals are different so its important to use to always be aware of anything potentially unsafe. Our home is for animals first and there is nowhere they aren't allowed although animal guests and clients are always fully supervised to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Our home is very easy going and has a lot of space for different needs and comforts. In your home, I will defer to your personal preferences always.

“Mollie did very well with Kara. Kara was great with Mollie and even gave us updates/pictures on the walks. We couldn’t ask for more. Kara is an awesome pet sitter/walker. We will continue to use Kara as our permanent pet sitter/walker provider.”

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs my whole life, and it's something that's become second nature to me. I currently have two cats and one dog, and each of them has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've learned how to read their behaviors, provide the right nutrition, and create a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in. From playful moments to quiet companionship, caring for them has brought me so much joy and a deep sense of responsibility. Whether it's grooming, training, or those unexpected trips to the vet, pet care has taught me patience, empathy, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine. I start each morning by feeding my two cats and my dog, making sure they all have fresh water. I take my dog out for a walk in the morning and again in the evening, which also gives us some good exercise and bonding time. Throughout the day, I clean the litter boxes, check on my pets to make sure they’re comfortable, and give them attention or play with them when I can. In the evenings, I often brush them or do basic grooming if needed. Taking care of them has become a natural part of my schedule — it keeps me grounded and gives my day a sense of structure and purpose. I will update my schedule here weekly. I work full time in Bangor, so I would be available any day after 4PM always, and then three or four days a week I will have open availability. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I make sure they’re fed on a consistent schedule, have clean water, and receive plenty of attention and exercise. I clean litter boxes daily for my cats and take my dog out for regular walks. I also spend time grooming them and watching for any signs of health issues. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, stick to the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress, and treat their home and animals with the same care and respect I give my own. I make sure to communicate clearly with the owner and provide updates so they feel at ease while away.

“Karen took great care of my Lucky Dogg. She helped ease the separation anxiety on both sides and I could be more grateful.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life – cats and dogs. I can’t imagine having a home without animals. Currently, I have 2 very loving German Shepherds and a cat. I’ve used Rover for years to find sitters for my own pets and now that I’m retired I’m excited to fill some of my time looking after other people’s babies. Since I’m retired, I’m open to a variety of schedules. Ideally I would like to avoid night visits but am happy to drop in anytime during the day. I believe all pets should be spoiled and loved unconditionally. During drop in visits, I will make sure your pets have all their needs met and do everything I can to comfort them in their owners absence.

About: I have 20+ years experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. From young puppies to elderly dogs. I can go at your pets pace to ensure their comfort and happiness when you are away. I previously owned a dog with extensive medical issues, including epilepsy, so I am very experienced in taking care of special needs pets, administering medications and handling medical emergencies. I am available any time of day and any day of the week. Very little notice is needed for me to fit you in my schedule. Pets are welcome to be on the furniture in my home if that is something you allow in yours. I have a peaceful and quiet home with a fenced in yard and lots of loving attention for your pet.

About: I have taken care and watched over fur babies for over 5 years. I love all kinds of pets and helping friends in my community! I am a hairstylist, I have three day weekends and love spending my spare time doing things I love, pets have always been a huge part in my life. I love taking your dog on walks around home, or close to. I also pop in for little visits I’m good with dogs of all ages!!

About: I used to work in a Kennel and worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have worked with mean dogs and lovely dogs. I have worked with senior dogs as well. Growing up I have always had animals in my house and I always plan to. I work at a senior care facility in 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts. Seeing as I do work long shifts, my mother is able to run over and let dogs out during the day. I help a friend out at Dirigo Pines every so often, usually for 6 hours, but can take breaks. Other than that I just sit at the house I'm at amd relax. I dont get out of work late, usually six and feed dinner when I get home. I dont have any pets at the moment, but always have throughout my life. I have had a deaf cat, senior dogs and small animals. I can give medication if needed. I also try to take wals if the weather is nice.

“Cassandra was great with my two dogs. She got to know them a little and played in the yard before taking them on their walk. She took lots of pictures and gave me a good summary of the visit! She was easy to communicate with and I was relieved that my dogs were taken care of while I was stuck at work for a long day. Her background in animal care/behavior just raises my confidence in her care even more. I will absolutely consider he again for future needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life from dogs, cats, birds, horses. Aside from my own I have also spent countless time taking care of others animals while they are gone or just need a little extra help! I currently work a part time job in healthcare so my schedule can be super flexible with notice but if you need care last minute I am more than happy to make it work the best I can for you and your pet(s). I am willing to work with you and your animals needs whatever that may be. Whether they need to be taken on long walks, like to play fetch or just sit inside and be pet!

“Jazlynne was our saving grace! When our care fell through, Jazlynne excitedly agreed to help care for our dog while we got some photos taken in Acadia. Her communication was 10/10, she was friendly, punctual, and incredibly helpful! I would absolutely recommend her.”

About: I have volunteered at my local humane society for 3 years, walking dogs and cleaning their kennels. I grew up with three dogs, and farm animals, and have always loved animals. I am currently a freshman at Umass Amherst, with availability Fridays, Monday and Wednesday mornings until 2pm, and occasional weekends. I am available to do check ups if given enough time to plan and respond! While I cannot house sit in my own house, I can in the client's home. I will follow specific directions given, and make sure the pups are fed, played with, and let out.
