“Janyl went above and beyond to provide amazing care to my two cats while I was away for two weeks. I was nervous to leave them for this amount of time especially because one is elderly and has some health issues. Janyl immediately put me at ease during our initial meet and greet. She was very thorough, asked great questions, and was clearly very knowledgable. Janyl had great intuition when it came to the cats' temperaments. She checked in with me daily, sent lots of pictures, and gave me a detailed run down of what she and the cats did each day. She even clipped their nails during her visit and vacuumed. My home was neat and tidy when I returned from a long travel day (so nice). The cats seemed to be very comfortable with her and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Janyl!”


About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.

“Amanda did an awesome job. We had a last minute booking and she even went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day of the booking. The updates were great and she even spent some extra time playing with our dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Amanda!”


“Alexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while you’re away.”


About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.

About: I had multiple animals growing up, and always helped take care of them all. I’ve also helped take care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats! I work a full time job Monday-Friday from 7am-4pm so I’m always going to be available on weekends or anytime after 4pm during the week days! I treat every cat and/or dog like it’s my own, every pet gets the same attentive care no matter what. I always make sure your little one has a save environment

About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I have unofficially been a pet sitter for several years. I have been fortunate to have friends and coworkers ask me to help with their pets and since then word of mouth has given me the chance to pet sit a lot more, which I love! I have always loved animals and have had the chance to watch and help out with many dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, and even a couple horses. I have two cats who are my world and I intend to make your pet as much of a priority my own. If you were to hire me I would make sure your pet(s) have a schedule as close to normal as possible. I have no issues staying over with your dog or cat. My favorite thing to do while I dog sit is take them for walks, so that is not an issue at all and I will always make sure your dog is well secured and watched throughout any time outside. I am typically busy Monday - Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM which is why I said that I can’t be available full time during weekdays, but I am free all day during weekends. I have no issues with staying over or popping in several times a day if that is what you prefer. Safety for your pet is my #1 goal, but I also am there to spend time with them, play, and take them for walks. I know leaving your pet is stressful for you and them, so I always try to distract them and make sure they get lots of love and attention. I also am more than happy to provide a lot of pictures and updates to ease your mind as well! Unfortunately, my apartment building does not allow pets, not even to visit, so I have no opportunity to board your pet.

About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.

“Cassie took amazing care of my cats while we were away! She kept us updated daily with reports and pictures and gave them some extra attention. I came back home to two happy and healthy cats!”


About: I have had dogs in my house for the past 17 years. I am looking to care for your animals and show them love and joy. I enjoy being around animal friends very much. I am a very big animal lover. I love cuddling animals and making them feel loved. I love it when pet parents leave me great directions and I love sending them notes or pictures back of their babies to brighten their days. My favorite thing is sending pet parents their pictures of their babies so they can see how they're doing. Please let me know what special treats, blankets, or toys make your pets happy because happy pets are the best and they make their owners happy. Feel free to contact me with any other inquiries. I currently work a part-time job. my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have early enough notice. I typically have shorter shifts and am available whenever I’m not working. I do not have a fenced-in yard but I can keep your pup on a leash and play with them in the backyard we have.

“Amber is exactly the person you want caring for your dog! She has been wonderful and reliable with our puppy, sending lots of pictures and videos and taking the absolute best care of our fur baby. Highly recommend!”


About: I live in Waterville and would love to watch your fur babies. I have had a dog my whole life mostly labs but I really enjoy dogs and watching their interactions with humans and with other pets. My pups go everywhere with me especially on hikes they are troopers. Wouldn't mind having some other dogs to accompany us. I am currently working full time from home with a flexible schedule. I take my dogs for walks around the neighborhood on breaks and lunches. I have a large back yard with a lot of room to play ball or to fetch. I have other friendly playful dogs that would love to have some play mates.

“Jacqueline was awesome! Super responsive and sent great updates. My girl can be a little shy with new people but she took to her instantly and was super comfortable. Made our little get away a lot less stressful knowing Lily was loved and happy. Would definitely recommend her for sure. Thank you!”


About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have had pets of my own ever since I was born! Neighbors, friends, and family members have relied on me for years to stay at their homes with their animals, check up on them, and ensure they are being fed and well cared for while they are away. I treat each animal like they are my own and provide the care that they so deserve! I’m currently only working part time this summer so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet throughout the day! Whether it be stopping over for a quick visit or staying over night I have a lot of flexibility and availability in my schedule. Due to having 2 cats of my own and a small apartment, I am unable to keep an animal overnight in my home. However, if I were to stay overnight in a client’s home I would be sure to follow the exact directions that are given to me in order to provide the best possible care for their furry children.

About: I may not have a dog, but I have taken care of dogs and been around them for many years. I was around many family members who had dogs such as Newfoundlands, Labradors, and little dogs such as Chihuahuas. I pet sit four cats and a dog several times for a family member while she was on vacation and that was a very good experience. Your fur babies will be well cared for and given lots of love and attention. I do not have a dog or cat of my own currently. However, I have taken care of many cats in a rescue. I have pet sit many times and it is something I enjoy. I dream of fostering dogs and possibly cats in the future, as animals make me happy. Your pet will be in great care and their safety is what matters most before anything else. Your pets needs are my top priority and I will do whatever needs to be done for them to be content. If your dog is a senior or has a disability, I am able to adapt to whatever needs to be modified for their needs.

“So thrilled we found Mary! My pup warmed up to her immediately! It's very apparent she has a true love of animals. She really gives my pup some quality activity and play during her drop in visits. Will definitely use her in the future when the need arises.”


“Devon was amazing to my cat, Scottie. She sent photos and was detailed with her updates! Devon listens to your pet’s needs and is so accommodating. I recommend her in a heartbeat! 1000/10”


“Kenzie was great! We had her drop in a few times for our Chico- and she did exactly what we needed. She sent us pics and report cards after each visit. We loved it! And will definitely use her again.”
