“Would recommend Chelsea to ANYONE. She has been the best with our crazy little puppy, so quick to respond and helpful around our busy schedule. She takes great care of our girl Maple and is so good with her! We are so thankful for all of her help and can’t speak highly enough!”

“Tracie was absolutely great with our boy gumbo. She went above and beyond and always made sure he was well taken care of. Tracie took the time to meet with us before hand to make sure she was up to speed and familiar with all of gumbo’s needs and she communicated everything to us. We will definitely be booking her again.”


About: I have raised my own puppy, Anna, who is 7 years old now! Along with that, I have grown up besides 3 dogs and 1 cat. (also 4 hamsters 🐹) There is literally nothing I haven’t seen/cleaned up/handled. I will love your pet as if it is my own! As someone who wants to make a difference in pet lives any way she can, I would make infinite time for pet happiness!! This is my job, so there is nothing I wouldn’t do for a dog or cat. I follow rules pertaining to each individual space, so this means I will only do/do not do what you ask. I will give your pet the respect, love, and care they deserve!

About: As both a dog lover and recently funemployed, I’ll be able to commit 100% of my time to taking care of your furry friend. I’m a previous dog owner of 11+ years as well as an experienced sitter for both puppies and several senior dogs. I do what it takes to make your pup as happy and comfy as possible while you’re away — I’ll treat them like family! Up until recently I’d been working in corporate, and I’m choosing to take a small break in between careers. My previous employers and pet care clients can attest to my attention to detail, my excellent communication skills, and my willingness to do what it takes to get the job done.
“Courtney is the best! She was available to walk my dog last minute and even stopped by for a meet and greet. Great communication. She took him to the park, which he loves. I felt like he was in good hands especially with her background as a vet tech. Thank you!”

About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities. Now, I have a 1.5 year old Lab named Knox who’s full of energy and love. He keeps me active, patience’s, and always on my toes! I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home. Because of them, I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were mine. Let me know what your pet needs. I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.
About: I’ve been enjoying helping my kids care for their dogs and cats creating a strong bond while having so much fun with their dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets while providing a safe environment to stay in and keep to their schedule like their own parents with me. I have a fenced yard under my supervision and have fun playing with my own pets! Any suggestions that your pet needs will be appreciated in order to create a bond and trust while you are not there will be perfect to make your pet’s and your day!

About: I have a general love for animals, I tend to rescue any and everything. I have 4 dogs, 3 cats , 5 birds one being a cockatoo, a pig , 3 rabbits and a bearded dragon! Weekdays I am free after 6 and weekends I am available everyday unless needed in advance and I can make the changes to accommodate. I would love to meet new furry friends! I will provide care in your home to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy in their own home. All of my attention will be set on your pets.

About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.
“Lashae was the best Rover experience we have had. She was amazing with our dogs and our neighbors (who had tons of positive comments). The best part of working with Lashae was the improvement in our dogs’ health! They have more energy and walk farther!! Lashae is the best! Can’t wait to work with her again!”

About: I had 2 dogs, a shibu-chi mix and shitzu females that act like adorable little sisters. My sister also owns 2 dogs, a little black poodle dog and pitbull-terrier mix, both of whom I love so very much! I’ve had to petsit for her many years, so I am familiar working with big dogs. In the Philippines, I had a grey puppy named Jamie, that was a very rare and intelligent breed! By the time I had to fly back to the states, he was potty-trained and knew basic commands(sit, stay, paw, etc.) I hope to own my own big dog someday! I make room for pet-sitting at the end of the week, usually Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would make the schedule fit into my calendar that works for the owner and make it apart of my daily routine. In the clients home, I’m only going to do what is required and requested for the petsitting time period. If there are any additional notes that I need to know, particularly for the pets needs then I will need to know before I arrive at the location. I implement a set schedule to ensure I can meet the requirements of all of my clients accordingly and efficiently, so that I’m sure I’m prepared for anything in the owners absence.

About: I am currently unemployed and will be spending my time with the animals i love looking after. I also do thrift as another side hustle. I’m free Sundays through Saturday’s! I can do overnight stays or i can just pop in and play and feed the animals if that’s what you need me to do! My husband and i have a medium/longhaired black cat! she is my little cuddle bug. we are always playing with feather toys, balls with bells and lots of cuddles. My cat is an indoor cat, so i keep her busy and loved, so i would hope to do the same when cat sitting yours as well!
About: As an engineer and proud owner of two large dogs, I bring attention to detail, and reliability to pet care. I am organized, observant, and proactive, ensuring every walk, meal, and play session is safe, structured, and enjoyable. With years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, I carefully observe behaviors, anticipate needs, and provide personalized love and attention, giving each pet a happy, and secure experience. I am a full-time Engineer working a 4-10 schedule where I am off 3 days per week. I have plenty of time to take care of pets during the weekends. I have 2 dogs that are extremely well behaved and friendly. They are both crate trained and love to play in the fenced in backyard.
About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.
