“Our sweet boy loved his time with Emma! He was so happy in all the photos and loved his game of tug of war. She was also very respectful of our space and made sure he was safe.”
3. Glendon Y.

4. Devan R.
“Devan is absolutely amazing and would be a fantastic dog sitter. Her love for dogs is evident in the way she interacts with them, always ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. She is incredibly responsible and attentive, making sure to follow all care instructions meticulously. Devan's experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments means she knows how to handle any situation that might arise. With her, you can be confident that your dog is in safe, caring hands and will receive plenty of attention and affection.”
5. Beatrice B.
“Bea is reliable, trustworthy, organized and very perceptive. From the moment you see her interact with your dog you can tell that she genuinely loves animals and enjoys caring for them. Bea looked after our elderly poodle, Lucy, in our home when we traveled or weren't home to take her outside. She also administered her medications. She loves to play with dogs, take them for walks, and give them treats and belly scratches afterwards. In addition to dogs, she has cared for a wide variety of small animals, including hamsters, rats and mice, so if you have other pets in the home, she's got you covered. I highly recommend Bea to anyone looking for a responsible and caring person to take care of their furry friends!”
6. Molly T.
“Molly was awesome! Great detailed communication, prompt and complete visits. She is friendly and enthusiastic, we felt assured that our pets were well cared for while we were away. Will definitely use her again!”
7. Cassandra L.
“Cassandra was a huge help when we needed drop-in visits for our lab. She was wonderful with him, and did a great job communicating with us. She also gave us updates from her visits, which made us feel so much better about having to leave our guy at home! We will definitely contact Cassandra next time we need care for Cooper!”
8. Sophia M.
“Sophia has always had a genuine love and compassion for animals since an early age. The extreme care and attention she has displayed around our pets along with her outgoing personality would make her a perfect candidate for Rover.com.”
9. Mary Rose H.
“Mary rose was amazing!!! She took care of khaleesi and loved her like she was her own. She hung out with her for way longer than requested and snuggled her. My girl has a lot of separation anxiety and I feel so much better knowing she had someone to cuddle with while I was away. Highly recommend Mary rose!!!”
10. Amber J.
“Amber was the first person I have ever used through Rover and I was impressed. She was very compliant to my requests and extremely helpful. She took good care of my cat in my absence, which wasn’t exactly easy considering how shy Cleo can be with strangers. But from Amber’s updates it was evident that she really tried to bond with her and gained her trust towards the end of the week. Highly recommend.”

14. Tiffany F.
About: Growing up with two Jack Russells, I am very in tune with dogs that have high energy and a high need for stimulation and enrichment. I have experience fostering and caring for larger breeds with behavioral challenges in addition. My approach takes into account that your beloved pet needs beyond the basics to live a fulfilled and happy life. No matter how playful or stubborn your pup can be, patience and care will always win. I have open availability on weekends for house visits, walks and overnight stays. I have availability until 3 pm on weekdays for house visits and walks. Overnight stays during week days to be on a case by case basis. I believe that the key to a successful visit is by providing great communication to your client. If something out of the ordinary arises in your home or with your pet, you will always be notified. If there are any uncertainties regarding your notes for home and pet care, you will always be asked.
15. Marley L.
“Marley is Incredible with my little old lady! She is consistently reliable, and has good patience when it comes to taking care of my elderly pup, Miss Moolah. I will absolutely be reaching out in the future with any and all of my canine needs!”
16. Lauren E.
About: I’ve spent my whole life loving people and animals. I am a CNA and am looking to make some extra money and hang out with some adorable furry friends! I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood. I used to ride horses and volunteer at a horse farm for years. I’ve watched my family members and friends cats and dogs and even have experience caring for sugar gliders! I currently am in Nursing school at the University of Maine so my schedule changes based on what classes I have for a semester. I have the most availability over winter and summer break. I can also help out with furry friends on weekends during school, but when I’m at school I am located in the Orono area. I love animals and would love to meet and care for yours! I am open to caring for animals in my own home and clients homes, and will be flexible to whatever kind of care you are most comfortable with! I know that your pets are important parts of your family and will care for them like they are a part of my own. I am 100% able to personalize care for your animals however works best for you!

18. Allie C.
“Allie was absolutely amazing. This was my first time leaving my 2 fur babes for a week and she kept me up-to-date, sent pictures, and was readily available anytime I wanted to check in. My dogs absolutely loved her and I know they will miss seeing her. She made my first Rover experience a smooth and easy one and I will definitely be booking Allie's services again!”
19. Marissa A.
About: I just graduated from UMaine and am staying in the area for the foreseeable future while working on campus. I have grown up with dogs and love caring for and playing with them. I know that your dog will enjoy my company as much as I will enjoy theirs. Dogs do tend to take a liking to me, so I know that I will enjoy working with you and your dog to care for your home and your dog to the best of my ability. I love walking, and love to play with them in and outside the house. I know that your dog and home will be safe in my care while you are away. I am currently working a full time job making me only available during the early morning hours, in the evenings and nights, and on the weekends. I currently have no pets, but when I am caring for other people’s pets, I do so that matches each dog’s individual needs and meet the owners’ desires.
20. Lauren S.
About: I’ve been around and taking care of pets for just about 12 years. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, fish, and a tortoise. This has helped me to learn and understand how animals need things just like humans do! I love animals just as much as humans! I am currently back in school at UMaine and looking for a little side work and some time with furry friends! My schedule varies on a day to day basis, but I have the most free time on the weekends, Monday’s, and Fridays. I am more than happy to coordinate and figure out a time around that as well! When looking after your fluffy friends at your home, I like to take some time to learn their normal patterns in their own comfy space, and just get comfortable with them! If you have any special requests and/or instructions then I will work to achieve those with your furry friends, and make them as comfortable as possible!
