Erin did an amazing job with my fur babies. Would absolutely book her again! My house was clean and she washed bedding! She also did a lot of shoveling snow while we were away! So appreciative of all she did!

Kim is the most phenomenal person for pets and house and everything in between. Her attention to detail and true genuineness is unmatched. Good people still exist and Kim is one of them. I will definitely continue to seek her out for our family. She loves the animals and really understands each pet and their different needs and adapts to whatever the challenge may be, effortlessly.

Carla was wonderful with our dog and cat. Our elderly cat, Ellie, was in her final stages of life, but we felt comfortable leaving her with Carla, who updated us daily, or more, on her declining health. Unfortunately, we said goodbye to Ellie the day we got home. But, we're glad she was with such a caring person her final week of life. We would enthusiastically recommend Carla as your pet sitter.

Jedan is amazing!!! She stayed at our house for about a week and cared for (and spoiled!) Kimmie as if she were her own, buying her toys/treats and even cooking for her. She kept us constantly updated with messages and photos and was extremely respectful. Looking forward to booking her again!

This was our first time using Rover. We have an anxious puppy and weren’t sure how it would go. Jessica made several house visits ahead of time so Nieva could get to know her. Nieva was excited to see her and sad when her new friend left. We’ll definitely be using her in the future. I was able to relax knowing she was in good hands.

Geoffery has been caring for my pets for some time. I’ve added a couple more pets to the mix and Geoffery has been such a caring and compassionate pet sitter for every one of them. They look forward to seeing him when I’m away and that’s a huge comfort!

Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!

About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. Winter rates are now $250/day for basic overnights, includes 3 pets. Will adjust include extra rates accordingly to animals and household needs. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.

Beth is fantastic! We were away for more than a week and she stayed with our cat (a sometimes challenging cat!), and he was incredibly cared for. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely have her care for our kitty again should the need arise. I can’t recommend Beth highly enough.

About: Animals have always been my passion, I work as a Veterinary Technician in Waterville full time caring for people’s beloved pets. From kittens to farm animals and everything in between.

About: I grew up taking care of multiple cats and dogs, and would take care of my neighbors' pets while they were away. While I spend less time at home now, I still always take care of my two very lively dogs when I return! This summer, I am working part-time, virtually, and asynchronously, so I am available all days of the week, around the clock! Pet care fits well into both my daily and weekly routine. I care for pets the way I have always cared for my pets: I give them lots of love, time, and energy, staying attentive to what they want to do. Having lived with pets my whole life, I am equally capable of working with puppies or kittens as I am with older dogs and cats.

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. In my more recent years I have dog sat for family members and neighbors. I have enjoyed being able to give peace of mind to them knowing their pets are safe, happy, and cared for. Owning a dog and cat myself I understand the stress and fear of having to leave your pets. Whether it’s work, vacation and other life events it can feel like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind while you’re away. I strive to bridge that gap and be able to provide peace of mind. My dog is a rescue and came to me with some behavioral challenges: fear, reactivity, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors. I know from experience leaving a pet that has some big feelings at times can be even more challenging and thats where I come in. To offer you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat will be safe and cared for with me. I firmly believe in the saying no bad dogs and would love to get the opportunity to take one worry off your plate while you are away! I have summers off and am able to be around as much or as little as needed for your pet in the summers as that is a busy time for vacations. I do structured schedules with play, train walk and rest times with pets. I can also create scheduled enrichment times throughout our time together. I try to cater what we are doing based on needs of the dog so they are fulfilled.
