About: Hi, I’m Makaylah! I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide range of pets—including dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, hamsters, mice, and chickens. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years volunteering at shelters and helping friends and family with their pets. I work from home full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m especially passionate with working with shy or nervous dogs and always take things at their pace. Patience & No pressure. I use positive reinforcement to build trust and keep things low-stress. If you're okay with it, I’d love to include a little fun, low-key trick training during my visits. I've helped dogs learn sit, down, shake, speak, spin, and touch (nose to hand), always with treats and praise. It’s a great way to keep them mentally engaged and build confidence, especially for anxious pups. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications and caring for senior or special-needs pets. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, and I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how they’re doing. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m happy to help however I can! Im wfh and have pets of my own so I'm always home! My schedule is overall very flexible, and I can shift things around to make things work especially for repeats. Go on vacation or give yourself a weekend away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your care instructions closely and keep routines consistent to help your pet feel secure. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard where they can play and explore safely. No matter the place, I will focus on maintaining a calm, secure environment.

About: I have a personalized approach and am dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every furry friend. With extensive experience in training puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets, I ensure that each animal receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to tailor activities and routines to suit individual personalities and requirements sets me apart, creating a comfortable and enriching experience for pets under my care. From basic obedience training to gentle senior companionship, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that fosters trust and happiness for both pets and their owners. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. I live in a private association and have a sizable, secluded yard that borders a stream and pond. Since I work remotely from home four days a week and have summers off, pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine. Each morning, I dedicate time to feeding, walking and playing with my pets before diving into work tasks. Throughout the day, I take short breaks to ensure they receive attention and exercise. During the summer months, I have the flexibility to extend our outdoor adventures and spend quality time bonding with them on the the trails or swimming. Regular grooming sessions, vet appointments, and training sessions are also scheduled into my weekly agenda to ensure their overall well-being. Essentially,d pets are an integral part of my daily and weekly rhythms. I provide pets with a quiet space, leash walks in safe areas, and separate feeding spots to ensure comfort and safety. I integrate visiting pets with my own for socialization and play. Opportunity for off-leash adventures for dogs with great recall. I have a sizable, secluded yard away from traffic.

About: Hii!! I’m a patient, caring sitter with 3 years of experience of caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled at giving medications, calming anxious pets, and provided the attention your furry baby needs. I’m happy to send frequent updates to keep you at ease, treating your pet with all the love and care they deserve. I am currently looking for some time to spend with pets when I am not working. I have a passion to be with animals and it brightens my day to help someone and spend time with a cute furry pet. I love to be active and create an environment that the pets can thrive and be loved. I have free time throughout the week to tend to their needs and get them out of the house or play with them to get their jitters out. For dogs, I love to play with them and go for walks or runs so they can go explore. For cats, I make sure their environment is clean and give them constant snuggles and comfort.

“Stacey is great! We have two dogs, and one of them is super anxious and barks alot when meeting strangers. Stacey went the extra mile to meet our anxious pup before the first scheduled visit. She is super detail oriented and considerate and i highly recommend working with her!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals since I was young including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, rodents, etc! I love volunteering at rescues and have been throughout the years (shoutout to Rescue Charlie’s Friends, a very well organized rescue that helps thousands of dogs all year round) My friends go to me when they need help with pet care, I love helping out when I can especially when my friends just need a little getaway :)) Looking for anyone that would need spontaneous dog walks!! I am currently unable to do consistent schedules/care with clients but willing to pop in for any urgent needs :) I have a kitty named Alf and he loves relaxing music/lofi so my partner and I always leave it on for him when we have to be out for awhile, we end up finding him napping like a rock :) It really comes down to a few things, toys, treats, and music and my boy is happy 😸

“Meghan did an amazing job. Would recommend!”

About: My love for animals began at a very young age on my family's tropical farm. In fact, my first pet was a monkey, named Pancho. Since my formative years, I have loved and cared for a variety of animals including, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, parakeets, hamsters and more. I have dedicated my entire life to caring for living creatures, and I am looking forward to offering exceptional care to your pet by demonstrating my superior skills. I have been known as an animal whisperer among family and friends, and I am excited to provide superb care for your furry (or scaly) family member. I am available 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. Additionally, I can provide OVERNIGHT SERVICES for appropriate compensation, the same goes for distance. DISTANCE is not an issue as long it is for a couple of days, a week, two weeks or more. Please be advised DROP-IN VISIT / DOG WALKING is available within 10 miles or less away from my location. I am very reliable and at your service around the clock, including holidays. I am highly attentive to every pet's needs. Your pet will be clean, fed, loved, and cared for. I will strictly adhere to any routines or schedules your pet has established. I am detail-oriented and meticulous. I ensure you all of your pet's necessities will be fulfilled.

About: With 5 years of hands-on experience at a doggie daycare, caring for pets is second nature to me! I have a sweet black Lab of my own, and I regularly care for my parents’ Pitbull and Rottweiler when they’re away. Oh—and I’m also a proud cat parent to three furry felines! From high-energy pups to chill cats, I’ve got the experience and heart to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’d be thrilled to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! I’m fully available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays! On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I work mornings (6 AM–12 PM), but I’m available in the afternoons and evenings. Saturdays, I’m free between 10 AM–2 PM and after 5 PM. I’m happy to be flexible where I can—just reach out and we’ll find a time that works for you and your pet! At this time, I’m not offering boarding in my home, as one of my dogs is uncomfortable around unfamiliar animals. Her well-being—and the comfort of your pet—are both very important to me. I’m more than happy to provide drop-ins, walks, or care in your home to ensure a safe and stress-free experience for everyone!

About: Ive grown up around many different types of dogs. And am currently taking a course for pet grooming, and will be taking the course for dog training after! I'm available anytime between 7am and 2pm, and 3pm being the latest. Wednesdays and Saturdays are the best for boarding! Dogs and cats that are good with other dogs are a must, since my dog Penny goes everywhere with me! I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard, but I do frequently take my dog (she's a spunky little 12yr old Xolo/Chihuahua mix) to the dog park here in Lewiston as well as go over to my grandmother's who does have a HUGE fenced in yard. And we also go on hikes to some of the trails close to town. So not only will your Pup get out often, but he/she will have about 5 other dogs to have playtime with. I also have 2 crates, so if your Pup requires to be kenneled at all I can do that.

“Kristina has been an excellent pet sitter and dog walker. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies. She responds quickly to communications and is very attentive. 10/10!”

About: I’ve pet sit for many clients. I have taken care of older dogs and young dogs. I am comfortable taking care of dogs of all energy levels. My services include dog walking, playing fetch, and feeding and watering. I will be a full time employee over this summer. However, I will not be working everyday of the week, or all day. I will have plenty of time to care for your pups in the morning time and evening time. When I do drop in visits, I ensure that all of your pets needs are met, which includes playing fetch or going for a walk, so that they are able to get energy out before their owner gets home.

About: Since getting a dog a year ago I’ve been committed to marking my furry friend the best pup she can be. From walks, hikes and playing to training and games, I love spending my free time with my four legged friends. Weekends i am free when not taking care or spending quality time with my own pup. I like morning playtimes and long trail or town walks. Always respect the owners wishes for their pet and any restrictions or limitations the dog might have. Having a fearful pup I understand the need to keep environments calm!

“Great communication and very reliable!!”

We will go on walks, hikes and the occasional swim depending on the weather. Perhaps we will play a little tug of war and make some pumpkin treats for all our friends.
