“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”

“Katie is THAT pet sitter. We really cannot say enough of how confident we are leaving Katie to care for our Rudi, Pearl and home. She is attentive, kind and truly empathetic to fur friends and to the people who love them. We highly regard her care and hope to always have her as our pet person in any future vacations. We cannot imagine a more caring, competent person to care for pets and a home!”

About: Animal lover with several years of experience caring for pets for family, friends, and clients. I provide reliable dog walking, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently am only going to be taking classes online so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week. At home I am responsible for walking, feeding, playing with , training , and taking my dog out. I do pretty much everything you can think of
“Alissa was a real pleasure. We have a brand new 2yo rescue dog, Pixie, who is really sweet but can be a bit rambunctious and not 100% house trained. We needed to have someone come to our house who could follow our training regimen. None of our friends and neighbors were available. This was our first experience with Rover and Alissa was a gem. She was friendly, upbeat and enthusiastic about meeting and spending the weekend at our house with Pixie. Pixie is on heartworm meds and Alissa was on top of everything. She followed our training directions exactly and she send us great pictures and video clip. Not only was she a great dog sitter, our house was also tidy and she made sure to even take out the trash before we came home. It was a great first Rover experience and we will definitely invite Alissa back next time we need a buddy for our Pixie.”

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

“Kaylie came and sat with my two girls overnight last week. She sent me pictures when she arrived. Let me know everything was OK. When I got home, the girls were healthy and happy to see me and you can’t ask for anything more than that! Thank you so much, Kaylie, I’ll look for you next time I have to go away!”
“James was great. He watched my house for a couple nights at the last minute, which really helped us out in a pinch. He was on time, respectful, and good with our dog ace. He sent us pictures throughout the day. Left the house just as we left it. I would recommend him and will definitely reach out again if we need someone in the future.”

“I was hesitant to have a near stranger stay with my fur babies for 6 days (including overnights) and am beyond thrilled with my experience with Lisa! She came twice to meet/visit before my trip and I knew she right away she was “Good People”! I received updates, photos and videos everyday. I would give her a hundred stars if I could! Thank you to Lisa (& Rover) 🐾”

About: Coastal Maine dog daycare manager turned Palmer pet sitter 🦞🐾 Hi! I’m Mia. I have 5+ years of professional experience working as an assistant manager at a busy dog daycare & boarding facility in Maine, along with several years of private dog walking and pet sitting experience. Caring for dogs has become my full-time passion, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality and routine. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments and I’m comfortable with structured routines, medications, leash handling, feeding schedules, multi dog households, and dogs with different energy levels or personalities. Drop-in Visits: a 30 minute visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding & lots of love 🫶🏻 Walks: a 30 or 60 minute neighborhood walk tailored to your dogs energy level and routine 🦮 Adventure Walks: an extended outing to local trails, parks, or other dog friendly spots for extra exercise and enrichment 🐾 Pet Sitting: Your pup gets to stay cozy at home while receiving loving one-on-one care. Overnight stays include evening and morning routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. 🏠 I treat every dog like they’re my own and always aim to provide reliable, personalized care that keeps both pets and owners comfortable and happy. Pet care is my full time job! I currently offer dog walks, drop-in visits, puppy visits, and selective overnight care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention while making sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“She was amazing with our dog Stella! Took such great care of her and made sure she got plenty of love and attention. Stella got to go on rides and even a hike, which she absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing she was in great hands. We’d definitely book again!”

“Allyson house sat for our old boy for four nights and was simply a dream sitter! She was communicative, sent photos daily, and it was clear she was loving our boy every minute she was home. We will definitely have Ally back anytime she’d like- she’s the best!”

“Emma is a delight to work with and she did such an amazing job house-sitting and taking care of our cat! Always professional, friendly, responsive, and so kind to our furbaby. We would love to rebook with her and recommend unreservedly!”

About: I have done both walking and house sitting for family and neighbors for five years, and have worked with and am comfortable handling both large and small dogs. I grew up owning dogs, including a shitzu mix, a poodle mix, and a shelter girl of unknown breed. While all but one of the dogs I have owned were under 20 pounds, most of my history in pet sitting has been with has been with dogs in the 30-70 pound range, including labs, huskies, and a pit bull mix as my most frequent clients. I have experience with owning a fear reactive dog, but my comfort with taking care of them will be on a case by case basis. I also have experience with training young dogs for crating, potty training, and leash training I am currently exclusively self employed and have a flexible schedule with my income sources, so I am available most days and times of the week At this time I am only able to provide care in my clients home, I am unable to provide boarding due to limited space in my house I will work with owners to maintain your pets normal schedule, including feeding and walks. I am comfortable crating and using alternate feeders or feeding styles as needed Dogs will never be outside unattended, and will be kept on leash or in fenced in yards unless the owner specifically requests that I do otherwise. Cats will not be taken outside for any reason unless requested by owners. All animals will receive a significant amount of play and/or pet time during each visit, assuming the animal is comfortable with and enjoying it For drop ins, I will provide at least one update per visit including pictures. For continuous house sitting, as my standard I will provide at least three updates per day (morning, mid day, and afternoon/evening) with at least one photo per update. If you would like more or less updates, just let me know and I am fully willing to work with you to get you the amount of contact desired
“Samantha was fantastic! She handled both my senior dog and young cat with care and kept me updated continuously. My cat never comes out for strangers but it only took a couple hours of Samantha’s calm energy to allow him to feel comfortable enough to greet her. I definitely recommend Samantha for any pet needs you may have! She is honest and clear with you so you can feel confident your pets are being well cared for while you are gone! Thank you so much Samantha!”

“Julissa is amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would. She kept us very informed about her stay and our fur-babies. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I have lived with and taken care of at least two dogs of various sizes my entire life. Over the past few years I have dog sat and dog walked the pets of family/friends. Some of which had special accommodations such as meds or a strict schedule which was no problem at all! I love spending time with animals so let me bring my care and love to your pets to make your life easier! I am a recent college graduate looking for a full time job at the moment. Until I find that position, my schedule is as open as it needs to be to take good care of any pets. For my own pets, I share responsibility of all the basic needs of a pet; feeding, walking, giving attention, letting them out for the bathroom, etc.. For the pets of my client I provide all of those necessary services myself. I can dedicate any needed time and effort to ensure that the pet stays safe, healthy and active.
“Kage did a great job and sent pics and messages during his stay with Cooper. He was well informed and great communication. I would highly recommend his services and would gladly book again when needed. Thank you!”

Katherine was amazing and I highly recommend her! My little pup fell in love with her instantly at the meet & greet, and I felt 100% comfortable with Katherine watching her in my home. Katherine sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated and was excellent with communication. I’ll definitely book her again!

This was the second time that Lisa watched my animals and she did a great job once again! It was halloween and she even put up some decorations and made sure to put out the candy I left. She also sent many cute photos and updates and my dog and cat were well cared for.
