“Rebooked! And will continue to rebook! We trust her with our pets and house!”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time, if not more, for most of my life. I’ve had 4 cats. I also grew up with nine goldfish caught from the fair that are all still alive today. I currently have one family dog, one family cat, and nine goldfish. I am a full time student at USM and an active member of the sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I will make this job one of my top priorities. At home, my dog is well trained and she is an outside and inside dog. She loves going on boat rides and we make sure that she gets plenty of love all the time. For clients, I will precisely follow instructions and treat the client’s pet like my own.
“Liz is very honest and caring! She genuinely went out of her way to show she cared about her service and my cat, Vida. Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely look forward to working with her again.”
About: I have three dogs of my own and I love meeting and caring for new pets. I have experience dog sitting from puppies to senior dogs. I work during the week but evenings and weekends are usually free to care for pets. Flexible schedule allows me to leave and let pets out and care for them as needed. Due to having dogs if my own I prefer to pet sit at the client’s home to ensure their pet’s utmost safety and comfortability. I always follow all instructions left by owners and make sure their pet has a great experience while their owners are gone.
“Perfect. I was thrilled my skittish little girl let her pet her. The animals loved her and she did a good job. She even sent me pictures of my angels. Will definitely use her again”
About: I haven't spent a singular year of my life without a fur companion and likely never will. I currently love 3 senior pets and appreciate every moment we have remaining. I understand the stress of leaving a pet (especially senior) and aim to offer as much calm and ease as possible. No matter the size and/or tempermant, animals deserve respect and love. They're only here for so long, so let's make that time wonderful! I just finished my first military service contract and am waiting for my next contract to begin. I am free most days and nights both weekdays and weekends. I follow specific instructions based on each individual's pet needs. I am very observant of lapses in regular behavior and react accordingly. I am no stranger to providing medication and getting creative with how to give the medication as to limit the stress on the pet. I have a large fenced in yard with free roam chickens (can be caged if needed).
“Kirsten was great! Very quick to respond to my request and sent plenty of pictures to assure me that my pups were cared for! Will definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.
About: I have dog sat for many years now for 3 toy poodles and the occasional Yorkie. I’ve given lots of love, baths, attempted grooming, and given them lessons in Spanish. Not only that, I’ve also owned cats for the better part of 11 years. Currently am not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available primarily Monday-Friday and can drop in to check on your fur family from 7 AM - 6 PM. I am very punctual in taking dogs outside for potty time and during feeding time. Because I do not have a fenced in yard, I am unable to care for larger dogs. I tend to have many petting sessions and napping sessions with the dogs I care for and will do the same for your furry companions.
“She was awesome! We left to visit family for a week and a half and she was amazing at keeping me informed of her visits. She even went to look for my Kali when she didn't come out of hiding just to make sure she was ok. Even with a hiccup in scheduling she found a solution that worked for everyone without us needing to ask. She was even willing to grab our mail for us while we were gone. Just over all an amazing sweetheart. If we go out of town in the future I would whole heartedly request her services again!”
“Ella was fantastic with our baby! She communicated with us well and we always knew what our baby was up to! We will definitely use her again in the future! Highly recommended!!”
About: I love animals and treat them like there my kids only the best for the furbabies have raised them since I was a little child I stay at home every day so I can be here with the pets 24/7 so you will never have to worry if someone is watching them I usually ask thr owner what there animals are accustomed to and try to follow there schedual to keep there animal feeling at home as.much as possible

Petal cat parents share their Rover experiences
Laura Lee was a great fit for our two shy kitties. They are young and not use to being away from us but Laura Lee definetly knows cats, how to quietly approach them and comfort them so they can get use to us leaving them for periods of time. We feel so fortunate to have met her and will absolutely use her again as she is a real keeper!
