“Juliette did an outstanding job house sitting for our dog, Nina, during our 12-day trip. Her regular updates with pictures were not only thoughtful but also thorough, keeping us reassured about Nina's well-being. Juliette's flexibility with our schedule changes was greatly appreciated. Her experience and exceptional care made Nina's time with her truly enjoyable. We have full confidence in Juliette and will undoubtedly choose her for future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend!”


About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have an excellent connection with animals, specifically dogs. I have been in the pet care business for almost 10 years & am rated highly by my previous clients. References available upon request. Animal happiness is my top priority. To provide a stress free environment (for you and) your pet, I will stay at your home and take your animal on walks, have play time, and give lots of love. I can also clean up, get your mail, and water plants, per request! There's no need to worry about your pet(s) - I have experience with all ages and breeds and would love to get to know both you and all your animal(s). Available to care for your pets during a variety times, open for discussion. Happy to have them stay in our dog-friendly home overnight, or come to your home to keep them comfortable while you are away. I can flexible on timing - for a lunchtime walk - or duration of stay as well. I am happy to make accommodations to assist you and your pets! I live in an apartment, which is not ideal for some pets; however, I live in a very walkable area, as well as am willing to make sure your pet get ample amounts of exercise in your area. If you have any specific requests or favorite pet-friendly locations you like to take them, I will be happy to follow suit!

“Emma did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and cat over a 1.5 week period. Our house was also well looked over while we were away on vacation. On top of that, she is a wonderful caring person and easy to work with.”


“Glendon was absolutely amazing with our reactive pup, Desmond while we were out of town for a few days. He has separation anxiety and can be tough to settle but Glendon was patient and persistent and they soon became buddies. This was a major accomplishment because Desmond usually prefers females over males. Glendon was also available on a very short notice and flexible with the times we requested which helped us out immensely. Our house was clean when we returned and he even made us food so we didn’t have to cook after traveling all day. This was the first time a new person has looked after Desmond and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands :)”


“Ellianna was FANTASTIC with our dog and two rabbits. We went away for the weekend confident they would be well taken care of and cuddled. We will definitely book again!”


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.

“Elle was amazing. Very kind and patient with our rescue from a hoarding situation. Owen is very scared, all the time. But Elle worked with him and he would no longer run away when time to be leashed up to go outside, and took treats from her, too! Elle’s very patient and kind and was just what our little fur nuggets needed.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was old enough to walk, from horses to dogs and cats. I love animals and am very responsible. I am currently enrolled in college, so any house sitting must be pretty close to school or apartment in the bangor area. Otherwise I am pretty flexible and willing to work with you as long as you are willing to work with me:) Since I am enrolled in college, I cannot pet-sit in my own home. But I love animals and I believe they are more comfortable in the comfort of their own home and I am very tidy and will pick up after myself and your pet, if need be.

“Greta was absolutely amazing! We’re new to the area and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We have an older cat who needs medication and a very shy dog, and Greta was so patient and wonderful with both of them. While we were away, our dog got sick, and Greta was incredibly kind and communicative—she let us know right away, cleaned everything up, and gave us detailed updates that helped us get her to the vet as soon as we got back. We truly couldn’t recommend Greta more; she went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the care and compassion she showed our furry family.”


“Katherine was so great with our puppy and made sure she got a lot of walks and stimulation while we were at work for the day! We came home to a tired puppy! Would definitely recommend her”


About: Hi! My name is Madeline. I am a passionate animal person and have been caring for animals pretty much my entire life. I've personally owned dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hamsters and cared for ferrets, snakes, and a variety of livestock/farm animals. I label myself as a true animal lover and pride myself on being able to connect with animals on a special level. I have been a professional sitter/dog walker for over 8 years now, and am ready to take on more clients. I do have a small home so I can only take 1-2 bookings at a time. I always aim to have a respectful relationship with owners and try to be as honest and helpful as possible! I have many, many references available. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am super flexible and always willing to hear your needs and see what we can make work, especially with the busy-ness that is the holidays. So feel free to reach out and I’ll see how I can best accommodate you and your pets 🙂 I do work a full time job M-F, but from home with lots of flexibility. My schedule is designed to be flexible and meet multiple pet owners needs. Let me know what your fur baby needs and we’ll get it arranged. I have a small cat who prefers to keep to herself. My home is dog proof and although I don’t have a fenced yard but I have wonderful walking areas in my community so your pet will end up with more walk time and socialization than just staying in a yard.

“Emily was amazing! She's very communicative, seemed genuinely thrilled to get to know our animals, and left our house exactly as she found it. Loved having her pet sit for us and will definitely request her in the future. Thank you Emily!”


About: Hello! I love all pets (furry, feathered and scaled) and have extensive experience providing animal care. Growing up we had fish, dogs, turtles, snakes, guinea pigs and a cat. My mother also made sure we gave back to our community volunteering at animal shelters where I helped post-op kittens and puppies heal in comfort. Currently I am the number one pet sitter all of my friends call when they leave town and was told that if I was smart, I would sign up for Rover to expand my care network. I am currently working on a PhD in Biomedical Science and engineering and make my own schedule. With notice I can fit potty walks into my daily routine, evening check ins or even overnight visits to care for your furry friends. My partner and I currently have a cat that adopted us. We have worked with our dear Oscar who was a very scruffy stray to build trust, support and a comfortable home. He even knows how to spin, sit and give a high five! When it comes to animals I try my best to work with compassion, patience and lots of love.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I aim to give your animals the attention they need 24/7. I am home from college and I would love to spend my summer with my full attention on making your pet the happiest and most loved while you’re away!. My dog was my best friend and she sadly passed away of old age, I would love to be your trusted care taker and keep your pets the safest with me. You don’t have to think about it! Your animal will be in the bestest of hands :) I’m currently working part time over the summer, I am around the dates I have available. I can negotiate and work out anything to make it fit for you! I have one cat who is very friendly around others and minds her own business. I live in a very pet friendly environment so there is absolutely nothing to worry about for your pets safety. I’ll work towards your pets needs and keeping them safe while you’re away!

“Remi is a good friend of mine so I know firsthand how caring and responsible she is for both animals and people. She is hardworking, detail oriented, and capable in her daily life, all characteristics that would carry over into caregiving, in addition to her friendly nature and big heart. I would absolutely trust her to watch my own pet (i.e. my highest regard!) and after one conversation with her I can assure you that you will feel the same.”
