“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
“Christina took care of our dog for 10 days while we went on vacation. This was our first time using her and she made sure our dog was happy and comfortable! She responds to messages in a timely manner, was very reliable, and sent several updates with wonderful pictures of our pup playing! Our dog came back happy and with a fresh bath! I will definitely book with her again and have already recommended her to my family and friends. Thank you for making our vacation relaxing as we didn’t have to worry about our beloved pup and knew she was in great hands!”
“Best experience I've had on Rover. Molly is incredibly nice and went above and beyond. Our dogs were so happy. She's very confident and able to handle even my more nervous/ skittish dog and made her feel happy in her home. I'll definitely use her again!!”
“Lindsay was so amazing with our St Bernard. This was the first time we ever left him with a sitter and she kept us in constant contact. She sent us daily updates and pictures and if we had any questions she replied immediately. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her service.”
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was amazing with Tank. We were worried as he shows some early signs of anxiety and guarding and had never been left anywhere overnight before, but he took well to Sarah and her family. She was stern in helping him learn how to behave and helped give us tips as well on how we can continue to train him! She was easy to talk to and gave great feedback daily on his wellbeing and growth. We will definitely be rebooking with Sarah again!”
“Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Kymberly and Robert always do such a great job with my Mala. Mala is 15 years old now and has stayed with them many times. She always knows when I pack her travel bag that she will get to vacation with them, and she gets so excited! Ours dogs are family, and it can be hard to leave them, but I never have any concerns whatever when I leave Mala with Kymberly and Robert. They are my trusted sitters!”
“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Chelsea was so great with our bloodhound, Curtis. She sent pictures while we were gone. This was the first time leaving him for a long period of time and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend and trust her with your fur baby! Thank you, Chelsea!”
“Matthew took great care of Lucy during the holidays! She came back home happy and with a new toy!! Thank you very much for caring so much about Lucy and taking great care of her, Matt. We really appreciate it!”
“Marcie took great care of my little boy. She was understanding of his needs. Ex- Sensitive stomach hypoallergenic food, needs to wear male wraps, etc. she did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing, and sent fun pictures. By the end of the stay Charlie had made himself at home. Thanks for all your help Marcie. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!

“Abby did a fantastic job taking care of my fur babies! I have a couple of very shy cats and she kept in contact with me to let me know they were okay. I would happily book Abby again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Breanna was incredibly detail oriented and excellent at communicating. Looking for someone to watch my cat with a chronic condition (CKD) who struggles to eat and requires multiple medications was very stressful for me. Breanna took down notes and asked follow up questions for my kitty’s care. I felt so relieved to leave my kitty with someone I knew could provide thoughtful care. She eased all my anxiety around leaving my medically complex cat with great updates and photos. I absolutely will book with Breanna again! She has given me a new confidence when planning adventures that require me to be away from my kitty.”
“Brooke was terrific! She sent us plenty of photos, kept us up-to-date on our diabetic cat and was very comfortable calling or texting with questions (since we hadn't provided all of the answers). She was on time and extremely caring. We'll definitely be hiring her again.”
“Kourtney was an excellent sitter! We had to modify our reservation a couple of times, and she was incredibly flexible with us. She is a wonderful communicator and left thorough updates every day about our cats. She even went above and beyond by shoveling our front walkway after a heavy storm! On top of that, she’s a lovely person and made sure to say hi to us when we saw her at breakfast before our booking! We would absolutely rebook with Kourtney.”
“Amanda responded quickly to a last minute booking and made me feel comfortable as a first-time user of rover. She took great care of our cats and house, was communicative and sent photos of the cats.”
“Cant say enough good things about Charlotte. I had an emergency and needed a same same day pet visit. She was fast to respond, very professional and communicative. Got the job done when i was in a bind and cant thank her enough! Highly recommend Charlotte”
“We’ve known Kaylanna through Bath Brunswick Veterinary for years. We were so thrilled to find her here on Rover! Santo loves her! Kaylanna is kind, caring and responsive. We look forward to working with her again soon!”
“Jackie was great. She came back for an extra visit to be sure our pup had another chance to go to the bathroom. We'll definitely ask for her help next time we have to leave our pup at home.”
“Richard was consistent, reliable, and polite. He visited the home even though there had been heavy snow and it was difficult to get to the house. Strongly recommend.”
“Abigail saves Christmas! I landed two flights away from home to find out the house had lost power and temperatures were dropping. The snow storm was about twice as bad as expected with over a foot of snow. Abigail offered to bring Orca to her home for the night to keep her safe and warm. She brought her home after the power returned and the heaters were back on in the house.”
About: I have lots of experience working with animals, including time working at an animal hospital during high school, where I learned to care for pets of all kinds.

About: I have been taking care of cats my whole life from a young age and I have a cat of my own named Frankie who's a Maine coon. There have never not been cats in my home! I am very familiar sitting other peoples cats as I have been doing it for about 4 years. I also have experience administering medication/ insulin shots and I am always willing to learn how to administer any other medical necessities.
About: If you want your pets/children/homes well taken care of give me a call! I will make sure all of your needs are met if you hire me! I plan on freeing up my schedule to do more jobs through the day instead of one full time job. Help me get started by hiring me! If I was in the position to hire someone to babysit, house sit, or pet sit, I would want someone to take all of my requests seriously and do a good job so that’s what I do!
“Eliot is dynamite! Squid loved her and she kept us very informed on what was going on. Excellent communication. Will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
“Amazing to work with! She provided excellent care for my 2 cats while I was traveling as well as kept me up to date. She was flexible and understanding of my travel.”

“Robin was excellent!! She was very attentive and sent lots of pictures and videos. My pup has some quirks, especially with big dogs but Robin knew exactly how to introduce Steiny to her dog Stella. Stella was also clearly a pro at dealing with the smaller more neurotic fuzz balls lol. It looked like they were best buds by the end. Very much appreciated Robin accommodating my last minute request! Will definitely be reaching out again.”
About: I am a reliable pet sitter with several years of animal care experience. I provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs, cats and other pets of all sizes and ages! I am patient and committed to maintaining your pet’s routine while you are away. I offer dog boarding, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I live in a country setting with a very large backyard that provides plenty of space for exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I also have a beautiful walking trail and a 40 acre field directly off my backyard for dogs that love to run! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your pet care needs or to schedule a meet and greet! Since pet care is my full-time focus, I’m able to stay consistent with feeding times, potty breaks, and any special instructions. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care and maintain each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I have three small, friendly Chihuahuas and a cat. They’re all well behaved and have always done well with other animals. If needed, I can easily keep them on a separate floor to make sure visiting pets feel comfortable and have their own space.
“Natalie watched our 13 week old puppy and she had an amazing day! Great care with the added bonus of so much socialization. Our puppy had a fantastic time and passed out on the ride home. Five stars is not enough!”
“This was our first experience with doggie daycare and we couldn't have been more pleased. Christina kept us very well informed throughout the day. I would recommend her highly.”

“I reached out to Lindsay about 2 months ago hoping to try my two dogs in her care and requested they had time outside, exposure to children and animals, and that they were kept safe. Lindsay has always gone above and beyond, my dogs are excited to get in the car and go to daycare and I’m always provided photos at the end of the day. My puppy has gotten to make other puppy friends and is able to play with her children. Lindsay is always on top of medications and is very flexible to my complex work schedule. She is by far more than I could’ve ever asked for.”
“Marcie was very helpful. We traveled from out of state and last minute needed someone to watch our dog so we could attend our son’s graduation. Marcie was very flexible. Our dog seemed happy (not stressed) when we picked him up. She was easy to work with!”
“I couldn’t recommend Stacy more. She took good care of Olive and I felt confident leaving her for the day. Olive was well exercised and she enjoyed making new friends with Stacy’s dogs. I will definitely come back!!”
“Molly is so sweet and kind it made leaving our baby a little easier. She was so understanding with our timeline changes and open to do whatever we need. She sent pictures and let me ask a million questions and it was peace of mind. I would 10/10 recommend Molly!!”
“Jaclyn is amazing! Sable went for daycare with the plan to get her comfortable for future boarding and it's great. Her home setting allows Sable to socialize but still get individualized attention.”
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Marna was calm and patient with our little chihuahua, Miika. Miika was happy and relaxed when she was picked up. I highly recommend Marna and will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have experience with puppies, training, dogs with anxiety, geriatric dogs and more. I also have experience with complex health needs and care in dogs. I work from home as a travel agent. I realized one of the biggest concerns for travelers was their dogs and the thought of having to use kennel services. Since I have the ability to be with the dogs all day it made sense to offer my home and a family setting. Our dog Sweety sleeps with us at night and so do our guest dogs. Unless that isn’t happening at home. The dogs we care for are like family during their visit. We live in a very private setting. While we don’t have fencing, we do have a large private yard on a private dirt road. We live on 5 acres.
“Marissa watched our dogs when we went skiing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them with her! They had a great time at her house and she sent us pictures of their day. She was incredibly nice and we will definitely reach out again!!”
About: I've had cats my whole life.. they make life better and it's a big responsibility as well. I have taken many older cats in from the shelter and they had great lives with us. Would love to babysit your kitty or dog. I have 3 cats in my home and I've had many kittens and elderly cats. We have a catio and many toys to entertain your kitty. Catio, toys, food and love! I can give meds as needed as well, or special foods. I can also go to your home for visits.
About: I have had my own dogs and cats since I was little! I now live in Lewiston with my two cats, and I often babysit my sisters two dogs. I love all animals big or small, and I’m often the one trying to pet all the neighborhood dogs and cats. I am available everyday as I am done teaching for the summer starting June 11th. I am happy to meet up beforehand for a meet and greet. I want to build a relationship with your pet and I want them to be happy to see me with every visit! I love going on daily walks with a furry friend to keep me company! I am happy to go and animal sit at a client’s house or my own.
About: I raised, trained, and cared for my family dog from a puppy when I was in high school. Post college I adopted a senior dog and cared for him for the last couple of years of his life. In the meantime I have been a sitter for friends and family dogs and cats over the years. I am used to giving medications (even when it needs to be disguised) and staying on a feeding schedules. I am very up for caring for senior dogs who want to lay around the house, and equally ready to go on long walks with a dog with more energy. I work from home always, so will be around during the day for pups who like to hang! I'm on the East End of Portland with the Eastern Prom very close by so plenty of places to walk and explore. I am usually out and about in the evenings for a few hours at a time. On the weekends I like to be busy, but can certainly adjust my time when I have a dog or cat around. I have a large one bedroom, and am on the 3rd floor. So my place is likely not good for pets with mobility issues (unless they are small enough that I can carry them). I live very close to lots of nature easily accessible and make a point to get outside often.
“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”
“Chelsea took such great care of our pup. We reached out to her last minute and she was available and eager to help us with our dog. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely reach out to her. Thanks again, Chelsea!!”
About: I have years of experience with a variety of special needs pets. I work from home so there is plenty of time for playtime, exercise and lots of snuggles. Your home or mine. Short stay or long. I’ll give your furry friend the VIPet treatment they deserve! My work from home schedule is pretty flexible and I’m available for drop off/pick up most anytime between 9am and 7pm, seven days a week I live in a spacious house with a big yard in a very dog friendly neighborhood. It’s a popular area for walking, and a short stroll to nearby hiking trails.

“Rebecca is wonderful with our dog. He comes off as scary at first but within a walk he was so happy to see Rebecca and being able to go run a bit. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Experienced dog owner with 3 dogs. Two dogs are reactive/timid, one of which has allergies and pancreatic issues so I am familiar with pilling and dogs with special needs.

“From the original meet and greet to the care of my dog over the last couple days, Craig and Chelsea have been phenomenal. Very organized and genuine in wanting to provide the best care possible for you pet. Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned animals my whole life. Working with dogs is my passion. I have over a year of working with dogs in a shelter setting of all sizes and most breeds. I am fear free certified. I have handled more challenging dogs and really easy dogs. I know how to read a situation and think a head. I’m all about positive reinforcement and fear free. Any questions? I would love to chat! I’m looking to build my own client base from the ground up, working with dogs is my desire. I typically make my daily routine around work. The owners are in control. Tell me your pups needs, and I can provide them! A simple short walk, a hike, dropping in to feed and a quick potty break. I’m open to your needs and wants, do not hesitate to ask.
“Repeating costumer! Have already booked for another walk. They are so sweet with my dogs. Give great feedback back and pictures. Always reliable. Would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up caring for both dogs and cats and currently have two rescued German Shepherds of my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll do my best to follow their routine and give them the care they deserve. I have experience caring for large dogs, reactive dogs, senior pets, and cats with different personalities and needs. I am also comfortable giving oral medications and injections/shots when needed, following your pet’s care instructions carefully. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Brooke Mathews, you’re pets new best friend :) My schedule is very flexible. I recently graduated high school and will be attending college locally at SMCC, where I will be studying Early Childhood Education. Since I will be commuting, I have availability throughout the week for drop-in visits and walks. Outside of school, I spend most of my time caring for my two German Shepherds, spending time with my two sisters, and enjoying walks by the water. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love being active and spending time outdoors. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and trusted environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk, I take the time to learn their routine, understand their needs, and build trust at their own pace. For dog owners: I am confident handling both large and small dogs, including those who may be reactive or require extra leash awareness. I focus on keeping walks safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s comfort level and personality while maintaining close attention to their surroundings. For cat owners: I offer drop-in visits for a time frame we discuss beforehand and will make sure your cat’s daily needs are met. Whether that includes feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with patience, kindness, and respect.

About: I have one year of pet-sitting experience, mostly for family and friends, along with volunteer work at animal shelters. As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve always had dogs and cats, often multiple at a time. Currently, I care for 4 dogs and 4 cats, though when pet-sitting, each pet will be separated for their comfort and safety. I’m passionate about providing a loving, safe environment for your pets! I’m currently Working part-time, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m mostly available on the weekends or anytime after 1 pm on weekdays! I have a fenced in back yard, outside of that a very large yard to play in. I have 4 dogs myself but they are gated off and will be on a different floor than any pet I am sitting. This will ensure all the pets are safe and comfortable. Your pet would be with me in our downstairs area with plenty of room to play inside and outside.
“Jackie was awesome! Skye is a very unique dog - super protective of his family and his property. To have Jackie able to walk into the house on her own, put a collar on him and walk him was great. Hope to use her again!”
“Olivia is so wonderful! Not only did she come meet Mia and I quickly, she was willing to start the next day! Mia LOVES her and it makes me so happy to know she’s with someone who really cares about her. Even my somewhat timid cat immediately said hi and let her pet her. ❤️”
About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel

“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
“Christina took care of our dog for 10 days while we went on vacation. This was our first time using her and she made sure our dog was happy and comfortable! She responds to messages in a timely manner, was very reliable, and sent several updates with wonderful pictures of our pup playing! Our dog came back happy and with a fresh bath! I will definitely book with her again and have already recommended her to my family and friends. Thank you for making our vacation relaxing as we didn’t have to worry about our beloved pup and knew she was in great hands!”
“Best experience I've had on Rover. Molly is incredibly nice and went above and beyond. Our dogs were so happy. She's very confident and able to handle even my more nervous/ skittish dog and made her feel happy in her home. I'll definitely use her again!!”
“Lindsay was so amazing with our St Bernard. This was the first time we ever left him with a sitter and she kept us in constant contact. She sent us daily updates and pictures and if we had any questions she replied immediately. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her service.”
“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was amazing with Tank. We were worried as he shows some early signs of anxiety and guarding and had never been left anywhere overnight before, but he took well to Sarah and her family. She was stern in helping him learn how to behave and helped give us tips as well on how we can continue to train him! She was easy to talk to and gave great feedback daily on his wellbeing and growth. We will definitely be rebooking with Sarah again!”
“Marissa was amazing with Fenway! She kept me updated all weekend with thoughtful messages and great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Fenway was clearly happy, comfortable, and having the best time in her care. He came home relaxed and it was obvious he was well taken care of. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“Chelsea was so great with our bloodhound, Curtis. She sent pictures while we were gone. This was the first time leaving him for a long period of time and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend and trust her with your fur baby! Thank you, Chelsea!”
“Matthew took great care of Lucy during the holidays! She came back home happy and with a new toy!! Thank you very much for caring so much about Lucy and taking great care of her, Matt. We really appreciate it!”
“Marcie took great care of my little boy. She was understanding of his needs. Ex- Sensitive stomach hypoallergenic food, needs to wear male wraps, etc. she did a great job keeping me updated on how he was doing, and sent fun pictures. By the end of the stay Charlie had made himself at home. Thanks for all your help Marcie. 10/10 would recommend”
About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!
“Jaclyn was AMAZING! She took our reservation last-minute despite not having met our dogs before. We got photo updates and both dogs were happy and pooped after their overnight stay. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”
