Kiara was amazing. Our dog (Millie) was extremely happy. She went on car rides, and even had doggie play dates. Kiara is very responsive and kept us updated the whole time. We will absolutely use Kiara again.

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.

We have an anxious, slow-to-warm-up-to-you dog, and Ellianna was great with him. She took the time and had the patience to win him over. Communication was prompt and her report was thorough. We have already booked her for another stay!

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!

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!

About: I have cared for the dogs and cats of family members, friends and coworkers when needed, for years. I personally have a dog and cat. My dog is a sweet boy but he is reactive to other dogs. Before him I had never worked with/known a dog that has reactive tendencies. I have learned a lot over the last 7-8 years about reactivity, especially dogs being reactive towards other dogs. I have cared for as many as three dogs and three cats at a time including puppies and senior dogs. I currently work full time but have developed a good schedule for when I do check in/drop ins for those I pet sit for. If someone is out of town and leaving their pets at home for a check in/drop-in schedule I would typically drop in, in the morning before work, around lunch time, around dinner time and again before bed if the owner requests. I have recently cared for three dogs and a cat for almost two weeks for a coworker and this schedule worked well. I will adhere to any instructions that a pet owner provides. I will make sure that the animals are well cared for and report any concerns I may have for the pets while caring for them. Whether it is a drop in to let a dog out to go to the bathroom at lunch time, walking a dog, feeding the pets, etc.

Lily was great with my two cats and followed a very long set of directions wonderully! Both have daily medications that she was able to give with no problems, and her daily photos and notes let me know how they were doing. She's easy to talk to and very kind, which my cats both picked up on quickly. They aren't usually friendly with newcomers, but they let her pet and play with them almost immediately. Thanks, Lily!

About: I have taken care of dogs of multiple breeds. My friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk or house sit their pets. I enjoy being around animals and being outside with them as much as possible. I hope I can do the same for your furry family member! I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Maine. I incorporate walks into my daily routine and would love a furry friend accomplice. I am also available for pet sitting on occasion! I follow the pet's established routine for meals, walks, and potty breaks while securing doors and gates to prevent escapes.

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 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. When it comes to animals I try my best to work with compassion, patience and lots of love. I just recently adopted a new fur baby named Grim from the Pixel fund, a non-profit organization that rescues animals from kill shelters. I have him harness trained so we can read and play outside!

About: What sets me apart is the care and intention behind everything I do 🤍🐾 I’m the owner of Mindsett Paws, built around creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet. I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them like they’re my own. I currently work at a dog (and cat!) daycare, where I care for a variety of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. This has helped me learn how to read behavior, manage different temperaments, and provide structured, dependable care. ✨ I’m especially experienced with: • Dogs of all energy levels • Anxious or sensitive pets • Creating a calm, structured environment • Cat care (feeding, litter, attention on their terms) I’m reliable, patient, and very attentive, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. Because they’re not just pets… they’re family 🤍🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life 🤍🐾 I currently work at a dog (and cat!) daycare, so I’m used to being around animals daily and caring for different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Because of that, pet care naturally fits into my schedule and is something I truly enjoy. Outside of work, I structure my routine to make sure I have the time, energy, and attention to give each pet consistent, reliable care. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment, just like I do with Mindsett Paws. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I build my routine around 🤍🐾 they feel as comfortable and at ease as possible 🤍🐾 In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions—while keeping the environment calm and consistent. I also make sure to give plenty of attention, updates, and reassurance while you’re away. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and cozy space where pets can relax and feel at home. I focus on structure, supervision, and creating a low-stress environment, while still giving them plenty of love, play, and one-on-one attention. Through Mindsett Paws, my goal is always the same— ✨ Keep your pet safe ✨ Keep their routine consistent ✨ And make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like they’re my own Because they’re not just pets… they’re family 🤍🐾
