Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Rosemont, Portland, ME

“Lily was amazing! Her notes and pictures back to us were so appreciated and helped us feel way more comfortable being away from our cats. Highly recommend!”

“She’s great with my pets, I have one dog and two cats. She’s watched them on long periods of time while I was out of town. Very reliable!”

“Aaron was very good with our dogs. He arrived on time; followed directions. He has a very nice calm demeanor. We will be happy to use him again.”

“Jayson came over to meet cats and pickup key. When I got home cats were good and apt nice. Pics at visits. On time even when I said mealtimes were flexible. Will use again.”

“Melissa took such good care of our diabetic cat! She worked magic with our grumpy boy and went above and beyond to make sure he got his injections and was happy. Thank you!”

“Jennifer cared for my two cats on several occasions when I was out of town. She is trustworthy and reliable and I felt comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She provided me with regular updates and my cats adored her. I am sad that we no longer live in the same town because I would love to have her help us out again!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs throughout my life. From simple bathroom trips to dog sitting a couple weeks. Always cautious when bringing pets into new situations. I have a pretty open schedule right now so I’m welcoming all bookings. If there is a scheduling conflict I will let you know right away. I cannot watch dogs in my apartment but I can have cats. I can take the dogs for walks and play with them at your home

“Virginia is excellent! There are very few people I trust with my dogs - and she is one of the select few. She is loving, honest, attentive and very communicative. Not to mention my dogs are obsessed with her! When I was away she sent me pictures daily of them out on walks and couch surfing. I will always use her for my dog/house sitting needs. Thanks Virginia!”

“Harrison has been super wonderful with my dog Wiggles. She truly loves him and genuinely gets so excited when he comes by. Harrison is responsible, timely, and wonderful to work with. If you need someone to take care of your pup look no further!”

“Lisa, my rescue 5-year-old corgi-Jack Russell, and I were housemates for a few months, so I saw her love and care of dogs daily. She was always very careful, kind, and attentive to Spock, even when she was working from home. She was solicitous, refilling his water bowl when it got low and I didn't notice, and a confident loose leash dog walker when she'd offer to take Spock out. She'd always check with me if he could have treats, and did basic obedience with Spock when dishing out the cookies (sit, lie down, etc.). When we'd go for walks-- and Lisa walks a lot, a higher energy pooch's dream parent!-- she was always patient with Spock's frequent marking and sniffing stops, and she kept an eye out for potential chewing/choking hazards (dead crabs! deer scat!) on the sidewalks and trails. I was always shocked and delighted that even when Lisa was in a hurry to get somewhere, she'd dash across the street to give my neighbor's 1 year old Golden Retriever, Lucky, some playtime and belly rubs, since he's frequently out in his Invisible Fence looking lonely. Lisa is also a regular pet sitter for two of her friends’ dogs up the coast and talks of both of them fondly. She’s an amazing pet caregiver to dogs of all shapes and sizes and is also familiar with cat-dog siblingships from her many years with a big dog and two cats. Although I didn't know Lisa when she had Bella, the beloved golden/lab mix and Good Girl who passed away two years ago after a good long life since puppyhood with Lisa, I've been fortunate to hear many stories about Bella's upbringing and life with Lisa, and privy to the videos and photos Lisa made of Bella and keeps on her phone and prominently displayed in her home. Bella was introduced to neighborhood dogs, cats, and humans, and greatly beloved by all, so much so the neighbors had a framed photo of Bella in their hallway! I credit some of this to Lisa being a doting, responsible, and generous dog mom. Lisa was so devoted to Bella that she contracted integrative medicine practitioners in addition to conventional veterinary care to ease Bella's pain when she got sick and help her to have the best end of life possible. Trading stories about obedience school, crate training, potty training, food and treat types, grooming, and daily life with Bella compared to my own rescue dog, I'm completely convinced Lisa is a caring, responsive caregiver who builds in plenty of structure, healthy boundaries, socialization, play, love, and snuggle space using her years of knowledge. Lisa is a bona fide dog person who understands safety and love. She would have done anything for Bella from 8 weeks old to her end and beyond, and I'm sure will do anything to build the best, healthiest, longest life for the next dog who comes into her life through Rover or otherwise.”

“Took great care of my pup ? ❤️”

“Amy always sends a wonderful update on my girls, the fun they have together and some great pics! They really enjoy their drop in dates with Amy on the weekends!”

About: Hello all! I've cared for many different animals since I first started my handyman company in 2012. I have mainly looked after dogs and cats, however, I've also cared for bunnies and other animals. I took a brief pause- volunteering at the Animal Refuge League- but I am back and ready to look after your furry friends! I currently work in solar energy, contacting and helping a variety of businesses. As an independent contractor, I set my own schedule and work remotely when needed. This provides me with the flexibility I need to make sure your pet is as happy as possible while you're away! I have a gated courtyard and a nearby park which is a nice walking area- I'm next door to Back Cove as well. My apartment is large so there is room to move around. I also live in a pet-friendly apartment with lots of other dogs, cats, etc. to keep your pet company if need be!

“Miranda was fantastic! Quick, professional communication and the pups LOVED her! She sent great photos and updates which made me feel very secure. 10/10!”

“Bryan tried to engage my pet with jubilance and personality but my bichon wasnt having it. I think bichon was just thankful for time spent with bryan, accepting of bryan and upset with owner”

“Rose was very reliable. She checked in on our boys even when the weather was bad over the Christmas holiday. She sent updates every visit; our two cats looked taken care of. Thanks Rose!”

“Stacey took amazing care of our two kitties. They usually get so anxious when we are away and this time they had no issues. We are so grateful for someone who takes care of our cats as if they were her own.”

“Kristin B. grew up loving and caring for dogs. Living on 5 acres people would dump their pets and we would rescue them. Over the years we saved over 39 dogs. Kristin is at college now and would love the opportunity to care for dogs again. She is responsible and has a loving heart with all animals!”

“Savannah has been pet and house sitting for us and our cat Wombat for over a decade. There’s no one I would trust more. In the last few years Wombat was on many medications in her old age, which Savannah dispensed expertly. While traveling we got great photo and video updates, and we always returned to a happy cat and clean house. I truly cannot express the depth of gratitude we have for Savannah and the years she took care of our little one. She is incredibly dependable and truly invested in each and every animal she looks after. I can not recommend her enough.”

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful as a pet sitter for our 2 cats! She was always on time for her twice a day visits, sent awesome pictures and great messages, and seemed to really care about the animals. She even fed the fish! This was our first time using Rover for pet care and I would hire Hannah again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much Hannah ?❤️!”
