“This was our first experience with Rover and a pet sitter, so we didn’t know what to expect. Karen has watched Daisy twice in the last week and did a fantastic job. Daisy was very comfortable with Karen and we will definitely look to use her in the future.”
“Ashley did an excellent job taking great care of our dog. Thanks to her we were able to take our kids to the children's museum which is close by. I could tell our dog was in caring hands. I recommend her highly!”
“Very sweet person! Totally a dog person!!! Cece was so comforting for us and our puppy, who had never been without us before. It was a big deal that she was communicative while we were away, letting us know she was okay as well sending photos. Last minute acheduling was important for our situation and she was immediately available. We will definitely ask her again if we are in the area and need a sitter.”
“I had a busy 17 hour day, and with my husband traveling Tobi would have been in his kennel with a short 30 min window (when I needed to come home to change) to stretch his legs and potty. Hannah was a life saver and agreed to watch Tobi for a few hours at her place, on a dimes notice. She noticed Tobi’s anxious behavior and provided play and walks to get him comfortable. We figured that her small apartment may have been too small of a space for Tobi (I live in a single family home with a yard), and as a solution she did offer her dog walking services where she’d pick Tobi up from my house for walks in the future. I appreciate the feedback, and will highly consider that as an option. Thank you Hannah for providing the support needed for Tobi (and my peace of mind)!”
“Colleen had my dog, Cooper, at her house for a few hours. Her place is a great set up for dogs, with a fenced in yard and a large couch for snuggles :) It is obvious that she truly cares about your pet. I felt confident leaving my fur baby with Colleen and appreciated her detailed note of their time together! I highly recommend Colleen!!”
“Gary is outstanding with Otter! Otter has so much fun at Gary's doggie resort that he grabs his 'adventure' bag and brings it to me to remind me it's time to go to Gary's for daycare! I highly recommend him, he is fantastic!”
About: Dogs have been my passion for 30 years. I have had all types of breeds - tiny to giant and have adopted all of my babies. I am experienced with giving special medical care and medications including injections as several of my kids have had severe illnesses. I believe there are no bad dogs, just dogs who express themselves differently. Would love to meet your four-legged family and help make them happy. My day rates are based on an 8 hr day. Rates for after 8 hrs can be discussed. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me time during the day to provide the attention needed for walks and potty break. I have a fenced in area for potty breaks and playtime. Timber is in full puppy play mode and loves to share her toys and balls with our guests.
About: Over the past 35 years, we've had three dogs who lived to 13, 14 and 15 years. We are very familiar with older dogs as well as young dogs and enjoy playing with dogs. After the loss of our last dog, Lucy, we decided to take a break from having another dog as we were empty nesters. We love dogs and were encouraged by our grown children to try Rover. We live on a quiet street near the York Harbor Beach and our house is far from the road with woods all around us. I am a regular daily walker and would love to have a dog to walk with me on occasion. I am familiar with the regulations on leashes, beach hours and waste bags. We are generally home on the days we accept pet sitting to take care of any visiting dogs. We became pet sitters because we enjoy hanging out with dogs. We have a large backyard surrounded by woods far from roads as well as a home that is dog friendly. We live about 2/3 mile from a quiet beach and it is a perfect walk for most dogs.
“Christina was great with our 6 month old puppy and has 2 adorable dogs that our puppy played with. Responsive and reliable and sent check-ins while we were away. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid from fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats, dogs, you name it. I’ve nannied and watched their dogs. I’ve had roommates with animals. Love to take care of animals and give them all the attention! I work from home full-time, so caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m always around to give walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday stroll or some playtime between meetings, I love incorporating pet care into my schedule! I don’t have a yard but I live very close to a dog park if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I also live by a trail and a few miles from the beach. Your animal can easily be crated/uncrated based upon your preferences. I am very big on making sure the animal trusts me before doing anything else.
“My pups loved going to Ashley’s! We had a last minute booking and I am very grateful to have found her. One of my pups is skittish and she took to her right away. You can tell Ashley loves dogs and they love her. Thank you again Ashley!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs that belonged to friends and family. I’ve babysat them, taken them on walks, and stopped by their home for bathroom breaks. I have also owned a dog ever since I was a little girl that I trained. I’m currently working part time and in school part time so I can be flexible with my schedule. I’m mostly flexible with my schedule during the week. I care for pets by being by their side 24/7, giving them my full attention. I also make sure that they are always in a safe environment and to be aware of any signs of stress.
“We were coming from out of town and our puppy gets a bit anxious while alone. Martha did a Fantastic job taking care of him and playing all day with him - he was exhausted both days and passed out as soon as he got home! Thanks again for the great time!”

“Mary watches my dog every time I’m away from home. About 5 weeks per year. My dog loves her and is always well taken care of (better than by me). I know for a fact that Mary walks about 5 miles a day so dogs are in heaven. She loves on a quiet street with almost no cars so it is very safe. My dog gets to walk to the beach everyday when staying with Mary! Highly recommended.”

Kaylen L.
“Kaylen is truly a pets best friend and mentor not not loving every pet she encounters but also giving them training and responsibilities to the breed with toys, games and directions. Most of all she enjoys each individual pets strengths and weaknesses but loves them all. She has been owner to a loving Dog Cleo for 7 years and a younger dog of five years who lovingly greet her and spends time with them feeding, training and playing and loving them. Kaylen would put any pet owner at ease with her care for their loved pet.”

Georgia P.
“Georgia has always been a very attentive and trustworthy friend when it comes to caring for her pets. She is very loving and compassionate when it comes to her friends and family, and her pets fall into the same category as family. Georgia's family has a dog and cat that she ensures are fed on a schedule, maintains physical activity, and mental stimulation with toys. I would certainly let her care for my pets as she has such great empathy for all animals and as a result of this, shows great responsibility and love as a pet caregiver.”

Riley P.
