Dog Sitting Rumford

About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!

About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!

“Heath did an amazing job watching our pups! I have 3 dogs and one is a senior dog with mobility issues. All the dogs were happy and well taken care of. Heath was also very communicative, and punctual with all the drop in times. We will absolutely book him again for future persisting needs!”

“Jasmine was wonderful to work with! She stayed in touch with us, sending us photos and detailed notes about our cat, even going above and beyond with care during a heatwave while we were away. While we've had some very good experiences with sitters through Rover in the past, Jasmine, with her dedicated attention to communication and to our cat, was far and away the best sitter we've worked with in our area! We can't recommend her enough and hope she's available when we're next out of town.”

“Tatiana was great with our German shepherd and my family’s border collie. She sent pictures every day during our 9 day vacation. Not only that, but she took our dogs last minute when another sitter fell through. She arrived in less than 12 hours for a meet & greet. She also stayed an extra few hours when our flight got delayed the last day. Thanks again! We will be recommending her to everyone!”

“Jonathan was very attentive to our pets and had excellent communication before and during the drop ins. Thank you for taking such great care of our pets!”

Kyle L.

“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”

Vincent H.

“Great communication and clearly has an enthusiasm and love for animals. We felt Delaney took great care of our beloved tortie. Look forward to booking you again in the future =]”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine love, compassion, and patience I have for animals. Ever since I was little, I’ve always had a passion for caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve cared for a variety of animals including cats, bunnies, and dogs, which has helped me become attentive to different personalities and needs. I currently have a dog named Roxie and care for a beautiful boy dog named Ozzy, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide the happiest, safest, and most loving environment possible for every fur friend in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am currently finishing high school, which gives me flexibility throughout the week, and I’ll have even more availability later on. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time for walks, feeding, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving every fur friend the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they always have fresh water, cleaning up after them, and providing walks, play, and companionship based on their needs. I pay attention to their behavior and well-being and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.

“Shawn, thanks for taking the time to play with the boys!”

“Wow! This is my first time using Rover and Anna was the first sitter to pop up. I was a little nervous but decided to give it a try. She was absolutely amazing! I never had to worry at all about how my cat was doing. I felt relaxed and relieved, knowing she was in great hands. Every time Anna did her drop in I got pictures and a progress note. Kila loves her and I came home to one happy cat! I will absolutely be hiring Anna the next time I ago away . Thank you, Anna!”

About: I've lived with dogs my entire life / taken care of them when I lived at my family's home. I have looked after golden retriever/German shepherd/great pyrenees mixed with lab, Spanish greyhounds, dachshund beagle mixes. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. I've found myself able to be in tune with a dog's feelings & they are often drawn to me because of my calm nature. I find it easy to bond with dogs and feel very comfortable just hanging out with them or taking care of them. I also love spending time with dogs including playing, walking, cuddling, or just hanging out and watching tv. I have special experience with reactive dogs where I needed to alter my walking routes in order to avoid other dogs (the dog my family had had been previously abused) as well as giving dogs oral medications. My top priority is your dog's safety/happiness. When it comes to giving care I'm very good at following instructions and know how difficult it can be to finding the right fit for someone to take care of their beloved dogs. I have a strong attention to detail and would love to provide the best possible care. I work from home and have lunch breaks that can be taken anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour but am flexible. I am able to step out if need be during the day for a quick check-in on pets/am willing to do so. I start work at 8 am and finish at 4:30 pm and often go to the gym afterwards but have about 30 minutes-2 hours free that I could use to check on pets. Overall, I'm flexible with working from home! If needed I am available to stay in your home to provide 24/7 care to your pets/work from your home. I care for my pets by feeding them, walking them, playing in the backyard, and just by hanging out with them when they're tired out from the day. My full time job requires me to have a strong attention to detail/high level of accuracy so I'm very dedicated to making sure I follow instructions. The safety of dogs is my top priority. My younger sister had a service dog and when he would go out in public we would sometimes have people ask if they could pet him. We had to politely tell them that he was working/a service dog. I mention this because I have no problem making sure dogs are safe and telling others when it's not ok to interact with them if they're working/anxious dogs/they don't do well with others.

“Maya was incredible! She went above and beyond to care for my pet when hurricane Helene hit and the aftermath. She is so caring and loving. She is amazing at communication and knowing how to navigate when everything goes wrong. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to her. I would recommend her with my highest praise and enthusiasm. I feel so lucky that she was there for my pet. She is the very, very best.”

“Fiona was an amazing sitter! The dogs loved her, she always showed on time and was always easy to work with on scheduling. She saved me so much stress while trying to get through my night class :)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have cared for them my entire life. Through that experience, I’ve become very comfortable with feeding routines, walking, handling different temperaments, and making sure dogs feel safe and cared for. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog like my own. School gets out June 25, until then I am available weekday evenings and weekends anytime! When school gets out, my schedule opens up and I am available Monday-Friday anytime! I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency when caring for pets in a client’s home. During drop-in visits and walks, I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and exercise. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure and that your dog is safe at all times. I’m attentive to behavior and comfort levels and will adjust as needed to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I respect your home, keep things clean, and provide updates with photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

“She’s super friendly and polite! We booked her on such a short notice and she was able to come need our needs.”

About: Hi there! My name’s Sam, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve worked in animal rescue and currently work in veterinary medicine, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds — from energetic puppies and senior cats to small mammals and even a few exotics! My background allows me to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and ensure your pets are always safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. At home, I have my own cat, Raven — a sassy 6-year-old who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how special the bond with our pets really is. I have a soft spot for pit bulls and American bullies, but I truly love and respect all breeds and personalities. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit or staying for a short-term sit, I’ll treat your pets like my own — with patience, care, and plenty of love. I am very flexible. Typically would not leave your pet alone for long periods of time or without potty breaks- I will leave for a few hours usually to just run errands! Constant Communication and photo updates are key to a good stay! It’s important to me keep pet parents updated throughout my visit. I also always respect privacy in your home!
