“I cannot say enough good things about Craig’s care for my two Maine coons. He helped us out in a pinch where we needed someone quickly due to a family emergency, and we couldn’t have asked for someone better to trust while we’re away. Looking forward to being repeat customers of Chelsea and Craig’s moving forward.”
“Naomi was great and Milo was happy and well taken care of. She did daily check ins and provided photos of Milo and how he was doing. I could not have asked for better care for Milo while I was on vacation.”
“Jenna was great! She took great care of our Biscuit, and we came home to a happy and healthy kitty (along with a clean space.) She definitely takes pride in her work. Thank you!”
“Thank you Emma for spending quality time with Bea. It made me feel comfortable knowing she was being loved and cared for while I was away. It really helped calm her separation anxiety...”
“We’ve known Kaylanna through Bath Brunswick Veterinary for years. We were so thrilled to find her here on Rover! Santo loves her! Kaylanna is kind, caring and responsive. We look forward to working with her again soon!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! She came by the day before we needed her to meet Bella and go over everything. She was extremely communicative the whole day and took excellent care of our baby. I highly recommend her!”
“Lena is the best! On of our cats has Chronic Kidney Disease and needs to eat 10-12 times/day, and most meals need a medication or supplement included. Additionally, he needs frequent litter box changes, extra water and close monitoring. Lena handled it all with grace and kindness and also made time for playtime with our other cat. My only annoyance is that Rover wouldn’t let me tip her as much as I wanted to.”

About: I have worked as a vet assistant and groomer. Pets have been a part of the family for my whole life, everything from bearded dragons and guinea pigs to a wonderful St. Bernard. I might actually be part cat. I'm a stay-at-home mom. Every morning I give the insistent critters their breakfast and some play time before letting the dogs out. Play and cuddle time happens all day. There is a big basket of toys for both dogs and cats in the living room and jars of treats are scattered around the house. Our yard isn't fenced yet, but there is a runner and the yard is surrounded by woods. We're also on a dead end road, so there's no traffic. The cats have litter boxes in the basement, with a cat door for access. That gives them a bit of privacy, the dogs aren't allowed down there. The cats also have a water fountain and food bowls high enough that the dogs can't reach.
