I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative.

About: Hi! I’m Mia. I have over 5 years of professional experience working as an assistant manager at a busy dog daycare & boarding facility in Maine, along with several years of private dog walking and pet sitting experience. Caring for dogs is my full time job, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality! I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments and I’m comfortable with structured routines, medications, leash handling, feeding schedules, multi dog households, and dogs with different energy levels or personalities. Drop-in Visits: a 30 minute visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding & lots of love 🫶🏻 Walks: a 30 or 60 minute neighborhood walk tailored to your dogs energy level and routine 🦮 Adventure Walks: an extended outing to local trails, parks, or other dog friendly spots for extra exercise and enrichment 🐾 Pet Sitting: Available on a limited basis for established clients. Your pup gets to stay cozy at home while receiving loving one on one care. Overnight stays include evening and morning routines, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship while you’re away. 🏠 Pet care is my full time job! I currently offer dog walks, drop in visits, and selective overnight care throughout the week. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of attention while making sure each pet stays on their normal routine as much as possible! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for.
“I will definitely be booking Alexis for all future Sushi watchings :) I could not be more happy about the experience!!! And thank you so much for the hand drawing photo of sushi and the note. You are an amazing person and so happy to have connected with you!”
“We had the absolute best experience with Ashley! Not only was she incredibly sweet and attentive with our cat, but she went above and beyond in every way. She even taught our kitty a cute little trick which we’re still amazed by and made sure our home was tidy, taking out the trash without us even asking. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our cat was not only well cared for but truly loved while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals!”
“Sounds like Kai has a new friend. Thanks for accommodating the earlier start time. Let me know if you have success with her not jumping. It’s her love language but most people don’t care for it. Hoping as she gets more accustomed to her new home, she’ll be able to stay home ithiut the crate but not yet.”
About: I grew up with cats and currently have a 6 year old German shepherd. I have pet sit for family and friends with dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and kittens under a year as well as senior dogs. I work part time, mostly in the evenings 1-2x a week. Otherwise, my schedule is very flexible. I am able to spend a maximum of about an hour at each visit. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I can run and play with energetic pets, or lounge with older or lower energy furry friends.
“Alissa is a responsive and lovely sitter! Booked her last minute for a weekend trip and she was prompt in accepting the request and responding to any questions or updates I requested. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Kage was great with Stella and Luna. Each drop in he gave a detailed description of everything along with photos. He had good base knowledge of cat behavior which made us feel comfortable right away. 10/10 recommend!”
“Amber was great! We had an unusual request (help us medicate our cats, it takes 2 people) and she jumped right in. Without her our kitties would have missed days of necessary medications.”
“Lily was extremely helpful when my previously booked sitter cancelled at the last minute. She was friendly and able to respect our home's dietary restrictions. She was a lifesaver! My senior car was cared for, and the house was in order upon our return. Lily provided occassional updates on how things were going and a few photos. She always responded quickly to messages despite a time difference. We'd be open to hiring Lily again.”
About: With years of experience caring for cats, I've developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. From playful kittens to senior cats, I'm skilled in providing personalized care that caters to each cat's individual personality and requirements. My experience includes feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I'm also adept at recognizing signs of illness or distress and taking appropriate action to ensure their well-being. Whether it's a quick check-in or an extended stay, you can trust that your cat will receive the highest level of care and attention in a safe and comfortable environment.
“Jonathan was absolutely wonderful! He watched my two cats for me while I was away for about a week and treated them so well. They warmed up to him immediately which doesn’t usually happen and he made sure to spend good time with them each day for brushing, treats, and general company. I would definitely recommend him!”
About: I am a veterinary technician, but was caring for cats long before that came to be. Many relatives and friends have relied on me over the years to care for their kitties. I am very reliable, and I am perfectly comfortable giving medications as well as routine care such as feeding, play, and cleaning. I personally have 2 cats at home, and care for my neighbor's 8 cats regularly. It is also good to know that I now have the veterinary knowledge to back up my observational knowledge.
About: I’m an animal lover at heart and have been helping care for dogs since I was little, at least 20 years and counting! I “dog-sat” throughout middle and high school for friends, family & neighbors. Happy to walk, play, feed, and then some. I’m seeking additional “work” that can also help me - I firmly believe that caring for animals is beneficial for mental and physical health! I’m not only caring for them, the furr friends are taking care of me too! I’m a teacher, off for the summer, and pretty available with the exception of a short vacation here or there. I am happy to coordinate times and schedules with you around your pets needs. I love nature and spend time outside daily; I can walk them around the block, the yard, or play catch!

“Thank you Forough and Amir! We were nervous at first how Russell would do and how he would get along with other dogs, so we were so relieved to hear that he fit right in! We would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with Forough and Amir again and look forward to scheduling another visit!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She watched my 9 week old puppy and provided me with updates. Karen was also flexible. I had to change my drop-off and pick-up time during one of the days that she watched my puppy; and Karen made it work for me. I's super thankful.”
“James was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. He was able to handle my puppy with other dogs well. Great socializing for Charolette! He sent pictures and videos all day very nice! Overall Great experience! I highly recommend him. 😊”
“Okay, I am sorry. Cannot find another way to leave message on Rover. FYI, there is no "3-dotted icon in the upper right corner of the upcoming tab so that I can modify a booking." As Novelette & I discussed this week, I will not need daycare on August 10, 13, 24,27, and 31, or September 3. This is a combination of her and my vacation weeks and will be a rare exception to our regular Monday & Thursday schedule. Thank you for your attention, and here is my review: "Bruce loves visiting Novelette and is making a great adjustment there. She is very warm, nurturing, and responsive to his needs. We could not be happier with how things are going so far. Thank you!"”
“We have loved working with Tricia! Very flexible, understanding, and affordable. She went the extra mile for our senior dog. Can’t wait to book the next visit for our dog!”
“My dog Milo adores Paul. It is extremely reassuring to see how excited Milo gets to see Paul pull into the driveway to take him for the day. Paul responds very quickly to messages/requests, is very accommodating, and provides me with updates and pictures/videos of the day they had on walks and hiking. I have utilized him numerous days when I need assistance with Milo, and it is nice to have someone so trustworthy to watch after my pup.”
About: I'll care for your pet like it's my own, and will provide ample ear scritches and snuggles as needed while they miss you during your time away. Our dogs share the couch and family spaces with us, but are crate trained as well. We go for walks daily and have playtime in the yard every 2-3 hours during the day if the weather is appropriate. We have two dogs, and an elderly cat that keeps to himself. Our yard is about an acre on a quiet dead end road and we have an electric fence for our pups, but can of course use leashes and leads as well!
“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”
“Zulma was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to allow Russell to get acquainted with his surroundings and safely meet her dog, Luna, who was a great teacher and playmate for him. We were so impressed by her understanding of dog behavior and especially her insight into Russell’s behavior and skin condition. We feel very comfortable and confident leaving Russell in her care, and we would highly recommend her!”
“Anna is a wonderful doggy care taker! Our two pups were very happy and she sent lots of pictures of them cuddling and hanging out just as if they were at our own home, not somewhere new! This was our first time using doggy day care for one of our dogs who we recently rescued so we were nervous but we couldn't have found a better person to make them feel at peace. Definitely recommend and will be requesting her in the future!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was in need of last second care, she went out of her way to send me updates and photos throughout the day which I greatly appreciated as well as picking up and dropping off my baby. She’s a saint!”
“Keri and Amy did a wonderful job watching Phineas. They sent us some wonderful pictures of him enjoying his time with them. We would definitely recommend them and we will hope to use them again in the future.”

“Great Experience!!! We were nervous about leaving our little 4 1/2 month old puppy first time ever but Katelyn put us at ease instantly. She was very kind and accommodating and her love of animals was apparent. Thank you Katelyn!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all sorts and sizes since I was a kid, and love playing with them. One of the requirements for our current home was to have a big yard so our boys could run free! I work from home and create my own schedule, and am an introvert so I’m almost always at my home unless I’m running an errand. This means I’ll always be here to take care of your animal and take them for walks, bathroom breaks, or play time. I have a big (unfenced) private back yard far away from any neighbors. I have two doodle’s who love to play with other dogs and two cats who will probably hide the whole time. Your pet will spend most of their time with me while I’m in my office or doing chores around the house, then the rest of the time playing with me and (optionally) my two dogs in our yard. My two doodles love other dogs and are non-aggressive, but if there are any issues I am happy to separate them. I used to train dogs in another life so I know how to handle and care for dogs.
About: As an avid dog lover, I have walked, played with, and enjoyed providing caring company for pets since the age of nine when I started my own neighborhood dog sitting service. Through experience and exposure as I aged, I became experienced in both dog training and agility. I am familiar and comfortable in my ability to care for a multitude of dog breeds, as well as varying personalities and temperaments. The fur love of my life, my late dog Kai, was trained as a therapy dog through Bright Spot Therapy Dogs, and for years we volunteered together to bring joy and comfort to patients at local hospitals and nursing homes. As a stay at home mother who is just getting back into the working world, I am able to devote my time, affection, and energy in order to provide the highest level of care to your fur baby. As a safety conscious, type A personality individual, I will innately put the safety and well being of your pet first above all else. I will be happy to adhere to any guidelines that you put in place to keep your pup happy and healthy, and will openly address any medical or safety concerns that arise while in my care. I live on a dead-end, quiet street with lots of places to walk locally both off leash and on, depending upon your dog's needs and your preferences. I am happy to bring your dog to their favorite socialization spot, dog park, or familiar walking space. Since each dog is unique and special in their own way, I welcome any tidbits about their personality and preferences, and I will customize a daily plan for them.

“Shayla has walked my dog Yogi twice now, and she has been great each time! Our meet and greet went really well, and when it rained on their walk, Shayla took the time to clean Yogi's paws and dry him off. I loved seeing the photos from their walk and playtime on the Rover Card. I look forward to using her again!”
“Paul has been a great asset to getting the stimulation my German shepherd was bred to need! Both of my dogs respond so well to him.

Both my dogs have struggled with reactivity - but have had no issues with him.”

I am currently a full time vet tech, but am available all day on Sunday and Monday, and also afternoons (after 2 pm) on Wednesday and Saturday. I have one very friendly large-breed dog, who is generally pretty chill around other dogs, but will sometimes play. In your home, I would respect any boundaries you set and maintain common courtesy. I also strive to leave everything as I found it.
About: Growing up, I have always had dogs of my own and I currently have two golden retrievers. For years I have always been first in line for friends and family to care for their animals while they are away, I have also been working at a pet hotel for about two years now. My main responsibility during my shift is pet care (feeding, administering medication, cleaning messes, letting dogs out for potty breaks and having enrichment time). My experience over the years has led me to be around many types of dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and energy levels; all of which I love! Though I am not a professional dog trainer, I have trained all of my dogs myself, and provided some assistance to friends and family with their new pups as well! So if you have a puppy, or a hyper dog, no worries! I’m willing to help with some training during my time with them. If you have a senior dog that needs extra time or help moving around or getting up that is also not a concern at all. During my time working at the pet hotel, I have cared for a wide variety of dogs ranging anywhere from assisting 250 pound mastiffs from laying to standing, to guiding small chihuahuas that are blind so if you have any concerns with any extra needs your pet may have, just be sure to communicate that with me! My schedule can be a little bit crazy but that’s okay. I currently have availability on the weekends, Monday and Tuesday after 3 PM, Wednesday anytime before 3 PM, and all day Friday. If my offered times don’t fit your needs feel free to message me to see if I can work around it! For in-home services, I like to build trust through transparency with my clients about all things. Additionally, being attentive to someone’s home and surroundings is very important (locking doors, checking fence doors, accountability for keys etc.) Along with making sure your dog is good to go with everything they need when I’m leaving them after our time spent together!

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.”
“I highly recommend this sitter! They were incredibly responsive, transparent, and communicative from the start, which gave me immediate comfort and trust. It was obvious how much they genuinely cared for Tahoe, and I knew he was in great hands. Their home was clean, safe, and welcoming, and the updates throughout his stay were greatly appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Kristen was amazing! Cooper was spoiled with hikes and play time all week. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else, she treated him like he was her own, and inspired us to be better dog parents! We are looking forward to using her again.”
About: My children and I absolutely love dogs, especially my 8 year old son. I work in the school system so we have the whole summer off to enjoy taking care of your pets! I live seconds from a walking trail so your pup can get plenty of exercise, love, and snuggles! I am available all summer long while school is out. July 1 through the end of August. I spend a few weeks teaching summer school- on those days I am home by 1 pm. Your pet will be safely cared for in my two bedroom apartment- with lots of snuggles, nature walks, and toys. I understand different dogs have different needs and I will cater to each pup as needed.
“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!”
“Always 5 Stars for Michael and Caesar and the family! Ghost Pepper loves to visit and is always happy to see Michael and Caesar. I know he's having fun in a clean, safe, amazing place when I can't take him with me. So happy to have Michael and Caesar and the family in our area!”
“Patti took such good care of our boy for a whole month. We wouldn’t leave him with anyone else for that long. She and her pack are the best! He was so loved and at home there and came back to us happy and healthy. Thanks, Patti!”

“Allison was exceptional. She took wonderful care of my little pal, and provided helpful updates with fantastic pictures/movies. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away!”
“Karyn was absolutely terrific. My puppy was extremely comfortable with her. Karyn treated him as if he was hers. Sent many pictures and kept me informed about Fitzy several times a day. She has a great fenced in yard which gave my dog freedom to run. Fitzy and her dog got along well. Would highly recommend her. Can’t say enough of good things about this experience.”
“Katie did an outstanding job with Reese. She definitely went above and beyond in her care for my dog. She sent pictures and updates to keep me at ease. I would use Katie again in the future.”
