“Elli is not only supremely punctual but also flexible to any adjustments I needed to make to our schedule! She’s great with the dogs and can even handle my leash reactive beagle. Overall I’m so grateful to her for all her help while I’ve had a hectic few months”

About: Hi! I’m a student at the University of Maine and a big animal lover. I have three cats back at home and experience watching small dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy and safe. I’m a student at UMaine and pet care fits well into my routine because I’m looking for flexible work. I’m able to plan my schedule around classes and make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and time throughout the day. I provide care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their environment. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow their routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions closely. I prioritize safety, trust, and cleanliness, and make sure pets feel secure, well cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.

“This was the first time we have used Rover for our new pup. Kiara took great care of her and sent us photos of their fun together! Will absolutely be using her again!”

“Kate might possible be the greatest dog-walker that ever was! She is considerate, kind and caring. I recently became employed and finding Kate has been a load-off-my-mind. She is so capable and professional that it took the stress of leaving my dog home completely away. Look no further. Kate is your go to girl.”

About: I am an experienced Rover sitter that has recently returned to sitting as I've started graduate school and no longer working big girl business job :) I am a graduate student at the University of Maine and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up in the south with dogs of all sizes, then moved to Maine to start my program. I moved with my two cats: Nugget and Tripod (yes he has three legs, lol). They mean so much to me so I understand and have the utmost respect for the connection people have with their pets. Rover is a great way for me to love on all kinds of fur babies! I've been pet-sitting since I was a teen and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, chinchillas- you name it!- ranging from small to large, young to old. During the summer- I have greater availability as classes are out and I don't have to teach. I do ask that drop-ins honor a 1.5-2 hour window as things come up, but I try to be as available as I can at the times requested. As I have two pets of my own, I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them to watch your fur babies can be intimidating. I will make every attempt to ensure each visit is as stress-free for your pets as possible. I treat anyone's pets the way I would want someone to treat my own- with love and care!

About: I have two dogs of my own that are now both 9 years old, and have been raised with me for all 9 years. I also often walk and take care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbor's who are busy or out of town. I am a college student with a couple in person and online classes. I love all animals and being outside and am happy to include a little pet care in my life everyday. I have two dogs of my own at my house and a large backyard. I have an open availability and am able to travel to houses and areas to care for other pets.

About: I grew up on a farm with horses, pigs, sheep, cows, a dog and a cat. I particpated at a young age taking care of them (feeding, brushing, removing manure).

I am typically available weekday evenings after work and weekends. I have a runner that extends from the side entrance of my house to my detached garage with a partially fenced backyard. I live in a safe neighborhood and have great neighbors. Three of my neighbors on my street work for the police department.

About: I provide love and care to animals. While I don’t have professional experience, I do have personal experience with animals. Whether in or outside of my family I have provided care to animals in need most of my life and I enjoy it every time! I take my dog on walks just about everyday and get her plenty of outside time and indoor play time! I am also able to take care of her with food, water, and love! I show them love, care, and the provide necessities where it’s needed. Whether it’s walks, treats, or love, your dog will get it!

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.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years now, starting with helping out with my family. But now I have been pet sitting for friends and family, and around 9 months ago I started working at a dog daycare, helping them out there! As a current nursing student, I am willing to work on a schedule that works for you and your pup! I am able to help anytime before or after my classes, and even in between! When it comes to safety, I am willing to do whatever is most comfortable for you and your pup. Whether this is crating your pup during the day or letting them out of leash outside!

About: I've been taking care of cats as long as I can remember. I don't currently have a dog but I frequently take care of my aunt's Great Pyrenees and I've taken care of many other dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and I'm free any day of the week for sitting. I would be happy to take care of any kind of dog or cat. I usually consult the owner and try to stick to the pets regular schedule as close as possible. I usually visit dogs three or four times a day and do one or two walks and for cats I visit once or twice a day or as many times as the owner would like.
