“Montana was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. She made the process of getting a pet sitter less stressful and easier to manage. She checked in on Lucky twice daily and gave him proper food and water. Everything went very smooth with her and Lucky liked her as well. I would highly recommend Montana for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
“Sahra is great! She is reliable and my pup loves her. I have been using her for drop in weekly visits for over a month and will continue to do so. She gives me great piece of mind knowing my pup is being taken care of.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and watch their dogs while they’re away. I’m very comfortable around different breeds and personalities, and I always make sure dogs feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’m currently on summer break for two months, so I am available all summer. my hours are from 11am- 8pm for drop ins, 12pm - 5pm for walks , and I do offer house sitting Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure. I treat every dog like they are my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love. I can’t wait to meet all of your amazing fur babies!
“Janet was so loving with our dog while we were away. He was very nervous to be left alone. Janet did everything she could to comfort him, including leaving a shirt so he would get used to her scent. She is such a humble, big hearted person! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with daily care including feeding, walking, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’m comfortable with different breeds and understand basic canine behavior, ensuring each dog feels well cared for and secure. I work part-time and am available in the mornings for dog walking, drop-ins, and care. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable, consistent availability during morning hours. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels secure and cared for. I give lots of attention, monitor behavior, and keep owners updated for peace of mind.
“Savannah did an absolutely amazing job when doing drop-in visits with my pups. She made me feel so comfortable about leaving my dogs in her care, which was such a relief. She genuinely cares about the animals and did everything possible to put me at ease while having to be away. Couldn't have been more grateful to have found her! Thank You Savannah!!!!”
“Taiah has been the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. The first time she sat for us, it was so last minute and my pets are generally a little anxious but they loved her from the start!”
About: I have 20 years of pet care experience. I began a pet care service in 2000 by providing care for new puppies on up to senior cats and dogs that required medication such as admininstering Insulin shots twice daily, oral medications and special dietary food supplements and meals. I have always been an animal lover since my childhood days and continue to have the same fondness for animals as an adult. I look forward to meeting new four legged friends both canine and feline. I am currently back in the Portland area visiting family and friends for the next 6 months. I’d like to be available for pet care during my stay in Maine. I’m open to discussing dog walking, drop in visits and overnight stays per my schedule. I’ll be helping with a family business part time and would like to include pet care as an additional way to stay busy, active and connected to animals😊 I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home. I offer dog walking, drop in visits for cats and dogs and overnight stays. I feel most pets do best in their own environments😊
“Stephanie was great with my 2 doggos! She’s working with my one extra hyper pup, to get her to relax more before she gets pets. She is matching their energy and just what they need for a break during the day! I will be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Friends and family have put their trust in me to tend to their pets needs when they are away and unavailable. I am semi retired with a lot of availability to meet your schedule. Your pet’s happiness is my priority and will always be there for them. I prefer to go to your home to take care of your pets that way they are not more disrupted by going into a new environment as well as missing their owners.
About: Our animals are family and I treat all as such. Being able to have your mind at ease while you are away is the only thing traveling has been missing. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of with me their tails will be wagging all day. I love all animals, I have had dogs my whole life and believe life wouldn’t be complete without them. I know of all of the greatest places to walk your dogs, I can teach your dog new tricks, and I can't wait to meet you and your dogs!!:) I currently work part time remotely so I have more than enough time to spend with your animals. I’m an animal lover and am excited to meet your babies and treat them like family. I will not be offering boarding or pet sitting in my home, but I have reliable transportation and don’t mind traveling to make sure your animals are taken care of while you are busy!
“Sarah was a HREAT fit for us. She came out to meet the kids before and get instructions. She was considerate and communicated, before and during her visits. I would book her again when needed. Thank you Sarah.”
Port Charlotte dog parents share their Rover experiences
Suzanne was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Managing our unique dog dynamics is not always easy, but she handled everything with care, patience, and confidence. She followed all of our routines, administered medications correctly, and kept everyone happy and comfortable while we were away. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would gladly trust Suzanne with our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Rebekah is my go to puppy sitter! She is the best, always flexible and available for last minute requests. Jax gets so excited to see her everytime and she always feels out how Jax is feeling day to day. Sometimes he gets anxious and won’t walk past 2 houses and she recognizes that! After their walks she always comes backs and PLAYS, as a puppy he loves play time! She also always picks up after Jax and checks on his water. I 100% recommend Rebekah to anyone, she’s the best!
Jennifer was amazing! Jennifer always sent a bunch of photos and videos of our dog, was there for her entire 30 minute visit (if not longer), and wasn’t afraid to ask questions about our dog to make sure she was the most cared for!!! Our dog also got a last minute ear infection before our vacation & Jennifer gave our dog her ear drops while we were away. We will definitely be booking Jennifer again!
Sofie did an excellent job taking care of our 2 dogs. Theo our one year-old Chihuahua and Sophie our 12-year-old Pomeranian. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worries that she was giving them love and attention. She communicated daily and kept us up-to-date on her visits. We would highly recommend sofie and plan on asking her to watch our dogs again in June.
