“Ann Marie was and is totally awesome (I’m contracting her on an ongoing basis). She has a genuine affection for pets, and she hit it off instantly with my 9-year-old Greyhound/Retriever. I give her my highest recommendation.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and goats! I love animals and I am a biology-pre vet major at the University of New England! I currently work part time 3 days a week. Which leave me with the lots of time to help out with your pets! I am available in the mornings and most afternoons. I have a nice big yard for yours pets to enjoy and I have lived with dogs my whole life so my house is definitely fit for a dog!
“Ben was fantastic with my reclusive senior kitty; I felt very secure knowing that he was checking in each day and sending updates. My cat was happy as a clam when I got home. I’ll definitely call Ben again in the future when I go on vacation!”
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of Joe. I came home to a very well groomed, happy, and healthy kitty. Katherine also did a wonderful job communicating, keeping things clean, and very clearly adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to others.”
“Cassie provided amazing care to our cats. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and well cared for. I would highly recommend Cassie for pet sitting!”
“Zachary was great! He helped us out at the last minute and provided wonderful care to our big dog! Zachary was very attentive, he fed and walked Mischka and made sure he got his medication. He sent many pictures so that we knew that Mischka was doing well.”
About: My regular work schedule changes every week! So although it might show that I have a day blocked off, please message me anyways to see if I am available for a day you need help! :) I have had multiple cats and multiple dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered for animal transportation services! I have been counted on to bathe, feed, walk, and love all animals I have had in my care! I am currently working part-time a 3-4 days a week, and my schedule changes every week. I am very flexible on time though, and I take days off for house-sitting as well! Even if my calendar says a day might be blocked off, please message me anyways if you are looking for help on one of those days as my work schedule could have changed! I take my 2 dogs out every 3-4 hours as well as refill their water bowls throughout the day and feed them twice according to their diets. My cats are let out once or twice a day with supervision and are fed twice a day as well as their water bowl being refilled throughout as well. And of course they all get constant attention throughout the day. Your babies will be treated as if they were my own!
About: I’ve always loved animals and felt a special connection between them. I believe that every animal deserves the world and all the love! I have a dog of my own, who is my baby! Any time there is an animal I want to make friends and be where they are:) I am currently working full time, but have a lot more availability on Thursdays and Sundays. I am around Saturdays after 3. Depending on the pets needs, I can stay over and go to work from your home. I would love to play with your dog, take them for walks and adventures. I can feed them breakfast and dinner, and include treats. Definitely give them plenty of love as well!
“Michelle was awesome! We were very satisfied the care and attention that Michelle showed to our 3 cats while we were away. One of our cats is almost 18 and has health problems and we were worried about leaving him. In addition to feeding and cleaning litter boxes, Michelle gave our elderly cat medication, cleaned up all manner of messes every day, and also gave all the cats treats and affection. The reports and pictures she sent gave us peace of mind while we were away, and we felt our cats were in good hands. We highly recommend Michelle!”
About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂
“Sarah was the best cat sitter! She took such good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent a thorough update after every visit including pics of our cats. You can tell how much she loves animals! We definitely plan on using her again.”
“Erica certainly has a way with dogs. Our shy 1 year old Labradoodle was quick to cozy up to Erica and her two well-behaved dogs. It's comforting to know that I can schedule play dates for our dog and know she is staying with a loving family.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitting service so I was pretty nervous. Bradleigh is super friendly and outgoing and made this experience stress free! I highly recommend Bradleigh and wouldn't hesitate to choose her again in the future.”
“Maegan watched our goats and chickens for a week. Unfazed by the complicated instructions and our shifting plans, sent cute photos--felt very good to leave them in her competent and reliable hands.”

This is my first time trying Rover and Ann Marie was great! She stopped by a few days before the scheduled dates to learn the specifics of taking care of my cats. It was also a good chance to get to know her and she provided references. The care she gave my cats was superb!
