Pet Sitting Standish

“Lisa was so great with our cat, Archie. She sent lots of pictures and updates and he was a happy boy when we got home. I highly recommend Lisa!”

“Meghan has been terrific with our little old anxious dog! She has stayed with him twice and taken care of our house, filled bird feeders, etc., and she came during a holiday week (most recently) to let him out mid-day, staying long enough to play, give him treats, and take him out a 2nd time. And send a pic! Really appreciate her willingness to do this the day after Christmas!”

“Zayn was so communicative and kind to the kitties I felt very safe with her watching them!! She sent lots of pictures and updates and I would definitely have her watch them anytime! :)”

About: Hi, My name is Harsh and I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different personalities. I have a two-year-old Bernedoodle of my own who is a total lap dog, always happy, and loves getting out to explore! I've pet-sat for friends and family and truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. I believe in reinforcing the training and routines you already have in place, while making sure your pup gets plenty of mental and physical exercise. Whether it's a fun walk, exploring somewhere new, playtime, or extra cuddles, I love giving dogs the attention they deserve. I'm calm, patient, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. After all, a tired dog is a happy dog! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have a two-year-old Bernedoodle, so daily walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention are just part of everyday life. I love getting outside, exploring new places, and making sure dogs get the mental and physical stimulation they need. I'm happy to incorporate pet care into my weekly routine and make sure your pup gets consistent, loving attention while you're away. I also understand the importance of sticking to your dog's normal schedule and routines so they feel comfortable and at home! My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved, whether they're in my home or theirs. I like to learn about each dog's personality, daily routine, training, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar to them. I believe in reinforcing the training and routines their owners have established, while making time for plenty of walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and of course, extra cuddles! Younger pups can get into trouble when they are not being supervised, I typically will help reinforce crate training or keep them on leash under constant supervision. This help ensures no emergency vet visits while you are away.

About: I had had cats for as long as I can remember, I have also had Guinea pigs and 45 chickens at one point in time I am currently a full time student at central Maine community college so my schedule carries, but I am always available after 2pm. I have modays and Fridays free and I am available most of the day on Wednesday I have 2 cats currently and my girlfriend has 2 dogs. I make sure that all of the animals in my life get plenty of play time and attention.

“Five stars! I’d double them if I could. First of all Brianna agreed to watch Sasha without even meeting her or us. We all took a leap of faith and I feel it paid off. Through consistent text messages and photos she managed to ease any apprehensions I may have had on this last minute booking. I can’t thank Brianna enough and have her in my contact list if I ever need another sitter. First round draft pick!”

About: I have had tons of experience working with animals. I used to volunteer at the animal refuge league of greater portland. I love all animals small and large! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine! I have flexibility throughout the day for visits, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for animals is already a big part of my life, and I love being able to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs! I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owners. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them, respect their boundaries, and pay attention to their body language.

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Animals naturally gravitate toward my calm, patient energy, and I treat every guest like a member of my own family. What truly sets me apart is my experience with specialized and complex care. I am the proud owner of a high-energy Tamaskan dog, so I completely thrive with active, high-energy breeds. I love taking dogs on long walks, structured dog park adventures, public socialization outings, and even handling bath trips! Additionally, growing up on a property with racehorses taught me a deep love, respect, and safety-first mindset for large animals. I have also raised over 15 chickens and roosters. Whether you have an athletic pup who needs an intense workout, a multi-pet household, or livestock that need exact farm routines followed, I bring a lifetime of versatile, trustworthy experience to your extended furry family. My schedule is highly adaptable, allowing me to fully commit to your pet's exact daily routine! Because pet care is my primary focus, I have plenty of time throughout the day for active dog walks, park trips, and dedicated drop-in visits. For boarding and overnight care, your pet will receive constant supervision and companionship. I structure my days around the needs of the animals in my care, ensuring that high-energy breeds get their necessary exercise and senior pets stay perfectly on track with their medication and rest schedules. Safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. Growing up around racehorses instilled a strict safety-first mindset in me from an early age, which I apply to every animal I watch. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure, and highly comfortable environment where they are treated just like my own. Because I own a high-energy breed, I am incredibly vigilant about environment control, secure doors, and safe socialization. When caring for pets in your home or managing farm routines, I am extremely detail-oriented. I take the time to meticulously learn your specific setup, gates, security measures, and animal dynamics. I also provide clear, consistent communication and photo updates during every single booking so you can relax knowing your pets and property are in expert, loving hands.

“Faith was absolutely wonderful to work with. She communicated well, was friendly and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs! Thank you again!”

“I needed a cat sitter two weeks after moving across the country so I was obviously very worried and Nishat was absolutely perfect!! She was so responsive and kind at the meet and greet, I have a very shy kitty and she was so incredibly patient with her, by the end of the week both of my kitties loved her and I will definitely be booking with her again!!!”

About: I have no other commitments to keep me from this and I love animals.... whether walking around your neighborhood or whatever else the fur-baby needs I am currently between jobs so Ill have plenty of time to walk your dog, take care of your pet, whatever they need, I am here to help. I do not currently have a dog (I have a cat) but if I did, there is a pet park here at my apt complex

“Amy is perfect. Our kitties liked her right away, she gave them lots of play time, and she was kind enough to take in a few packages and water our poor basil plant on the kitchen counter that we had forgotten about. Amy was also kind enough to share pictures every day we were away, and she clearly communicated her availability and timing for each day in advance. We are very happy and hope Amy will be able and willing to take care of our kittens again in the future (next time we're away). Thank you Amy!”

About: Hi! I'm Elena, local realtor who has found some extra time on her hands! I'm a mom of an XS breed (French bulldog) and XL breed (St. Bernard) I'd argue the hilarious juxtaposition of the two grant me the power to handle any dog size in-between, and I know just how special our fur babies are to us. I first used rover in 2018 when my frenchie was a puppy as I needed to find someone trustworthy to let her out mid-day. I was so thankful I found Rover and the person I worked with! My animals are spoiled and live a life of luxury and yours will be too if they're in my care! I've found some extra time on my hands and happy to help how I can! Overnights at yours, simple daily check ins, or being a last minute helper if you have to stay late at work and your dog needs to be let out and fed! I'll likely over-stay my welcome with snuggles and playtime, if you're ok with that! Happy to come to you! I prefer to watch your pups in the comfort of their own home! They are already missing their person, why make it harder on them!

About: I am currently in school getting my masters in Human Animal Interactions (psychology). I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I am currently working in the school district as an Ed tech and my schedule is 8:30am - 3:30pm. I can fit pet care around my work schedule as I don’t work long shifts. I am also completely free on the weekends. I will make sure the pet eats and goes out before I leave for work and will go straight back to them and let them back out when I’m done. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.

“Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken excellent care of. We were able to really relax knowing Kelly knows what to do. She was very thoughtful and made two new furry bff's. Lucky to have found Kelly!!”

About: Always had dogs and cats in the house my whole life. We had breeding dogs so I have helped deliver 3 puppy litters. In addition to pet care, I worked on farms where I cared for all types of animals - helped deliver sheep, small surgeries on bulls, milking cows, and all sorts of things that come with animal husbandry. I know more than a lot of my friends about animal health, biology and behavior. I also love dogs, despite being bitten by a couple as a child, I feel like I understand the way they see the world and can relate to them quite easily. Most people say "my dog never warms up this quickly." Right now I am looking to pick up some extra work, some evenings and weekends. I am open to working together to find a schedule that fits! For any sort of animal care, like coming to the house to give dinner, or taking out for a walk - I begin by meeting the animal and starting to establish trust and a relationship. Over time trust will be built, and I will learn the animals behaviors and know what is needed when. I am very sensitive and aware to animal's behavior.
