“Nikki was fantastic! I felt very comfortable having her take care of Clover for a couple days. Her property is perfect for a dog that's used to being off leash and Clover even had a friend to play with while she was there. Nikki sent plenty of updates, pictures, and video which was perfect because I missed my baby! I would absolutely recommend Nikki to anyone that needs a pet sitter ?.”
“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!”
“They have been a god send! I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my baby. Bowser has so much fun when he is there and they always send me pictures so I am at ease knowing he is having a lot of fun!!”
“Micheala was fantastic with my dogs. They got to be part of her family for a week long vacation. They had plenty of room to roam about and fun playing with her family. Will definitely book again! ~ Michaela was also very accommodating with my flaky schedule!!! Thanks again!!”
“Marissa is always thoughtful and sweet with my boy, Blue. When we have to leave him, he knows he gets to have a sleepover with his pal Marissa, and it’s like a mini dog vaca for him too. We have such a better time knowing that he’s in great hands!”
“I traveled from colorado and needed somewhere to board service dog while on a whitewater rafting trip and film shoot. She had the best reviews in the area and they were correct! She took great care of my service dog and it eased my worries as we have never been separated apart from a grooming appointment here and there. She sent photos every day which helped ease my mind too. Thank you so much for taking great care of my dog.”
About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.
About: Highlight: I am experienced with aggressive and reactive animals! I have had animals in my home and life as long as I can remember. I have cared for countless dogs, cats, and small animals. At one point in my life I had seven dogs and a number of other pets. I have been providing independent pet care since late 2015. Animal care and rescue is my greatest passion. I am skilled at handling dogs and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperments. I have worked with aggressive and reactive dogs and have experience deescalating conflicts when they arise. I am more than happy to care for any kind of animals- not just dogs and cats. My own current pets are two dogs and four cats. I also have experience caring for small animals, various poultry and livestock, and horses. When I was 15 years old I started occasionally farm/house sitting for a family with dogs, horses, and a cat, and caring for all of the animals there during my stay. With them I have worked daytime hours as well as overnight stays for a few days at a time so they could take trips out of state. In my adult life I have branched out, first with Rover a few years ago, and then with expanding farther into launching my private pet care business at the beginning of 2024 while still maintaining my presence on Rover. My client base is steadily growing and I am excited to see where this venture takes me! I am reliable and committed to providing excellent service for my clients. If you want a pet caretaker you can count on who will treat your animals as well as their own, I'm your gal! I am operating my pet care business, Mainely Pets - Care & Products, full-time! This means I have lots of availability to care for your pets, but for house-sitting in particular it is best to reach out significantly in advance to ensure I can fit you in! Sunday bookings are restricted to things that *must* occur on that day in order for me to try to have some level of work life balance. I take utmost care to keep animals in my care safe and properly contained. I make sure to follow whatever rules and structures are in place for the animals to ensure their safety. Pets are always leashed inside before heading for a walk and the leash isn't unclipped until we are back inside with a closed door. I am vigilant in looking out for potential risks (e.g. other animals, cars, unsafe things they could eat, etc) and making sure to give them a wide berth. In my own home I have any small animals carefully segregated into rooms that predator animals don't go into. Anytime I leave the room, I do a check and verify that all predators are outside the door so nobody can get hurt. I monitor the dogs around the cats to make sure all interactions are safe. I have utlized crates and baby gates when necessary to keep animals safely contained and/or separated in the past. I am skilled at containing flight risk animals and watching out for their safety. I am also fully insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates (PSA).
About: Taking care of beloved pets is taking care of pet owners. Relaxing time away can only happen if you can trust that your pets are loved and taken care of almost as good as you😊 I have had a variety of pets my entire life. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to take excellent care of their pets. I have gone to their home, they have come to my home and I have visited just to walk them. I love all animals and have learned over the years how to recognize their individual needs. We have a quiet space with lots of grass and woods for playing. My groomer told me there is a need for pet care and I want more pets in my life, so this is perfect for me. I work closely with pet parents to make sure your pet has everything they need to feel right at home. We are outside a lot! I love to walk in all kinds of weather and I love to play outside whenever possible. In addition, I love farm animals too! Your pets are safe in my back yard. I always go outside with the pets and will use a leash if need be. I make pets feel right at home inside our home as well. I have an active schedule, so contact me early if you will be requesting pet care!💕😊 Your pet is always my priority while in my care. I am open to requests for your special pet. I play outside a lot. It’s my favorite! I also take lots of pictures and give plenty of treats.
About: I am a big time dog lover! I work from home and am able to be here with the pets all day and take them out at least every 2 hours or as needed. I have a big house with a decent sized yard (NOT fenced). I'd love a few more companions hanging out with me and my dog, Lola! There aren't a lot of pet sitting options in this area so here I am making it an option :) Please come check me out! I work from home so i am here all day with the pets and able to tend to them as needed. i get an hour break for lunch and thats usually when i take my dog out to play/walk. I am available for day time pet sitting during the week. If needed me on a weekend we can most likely work something out-case by case basis-but it wasn't something i wanted to promote on my profile.
“Larissa is absolutely wonderful! Rupert greatly enjoyed his stay in her safe and loving home. You can tell she genuinely cares for your animal as if they were her own. Larissa provided photos throughout the week and a recap of their adventures. Definitely recommended!”
“Missy is terrific! Very lucky to have found her to care for our 2 yr old English Golden. Great communication, regular updates, pictures, lots of outdoor activities, and our pup clearly loved and and was comfortable w Missy and her family, human and canine (Charlie). Brix was very happy and relaxed when she got home. :-) Highly recommend!”
“Monica was able to watch my dog on short notice and accommodate her both at my home and at hers. My only criticism is that I wanted more photos from all of their amazing adventures together!”

“Katie is amazing!! Our little Lu was (literally) eating out of her hands from the first moment they met! Katie did a wonderful job of making sure our cat was safe and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She is super friendly and attentive and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
About: Cats have always been a special part of my animal-care experience. I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. From social and playful to shy and independent. I’m patient with cats who need time to warm up and respectful of those who prefer affection on their own terms. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, medications, and keeping a close eye on changes in behavior or appetite. My veterinary medicine experience gives me an added understanding of feline health and when something may need veterinary attention. 🐱❤️
“Ricky was so great with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation for a week. He was Very responsive to text messages, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. My cats were a bit elusive and hesitant at first, but once I saw pictures of both of them interacting with Ricky, I was put at ease knowing they trusted him.”
“Michaela took wonderful care of my 3 huskies while I was away for the day. She was competent, confident and caring at the meet and greet, and I can tell from her descriptions of my pets’ behaviors in her updates that they really liked her. I would absolutely rebook Michaela and recommend her to others. Great sitter!”
“Eliot took such good care of our senior cat! She figured out his routine quickly and stuck with it so he had very little disruption in his day. I doubt he even realized I was gone. She gave him insulin injections twice a day, no problem. She was incredible with our cat!”
“Monica was a great sitter for my yorkie-mix. She stayed overnight with Bella in both our home and hers. Bella was very happy when we returned from a 1 week vacation. We would definitely book with Monica again. ”
“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”
About: My name is Andreas, and I am a Maine/NYC-based actor/singer/dancer/dog-lover! I grew up in the beautiful, rural forests of Maine, and my family always had at least two dogs in our family while growing up! I have cared for dogs my whole life, and I have done it professionally for over 10 years. I am passionate about health/fitness, and I will happily share my healthy habits with your best friend! Whether on a walk, on a run, cuddling on the couch, feeding your pet breakfast/dinner, I will always care for Man's Best Friend with my 100% heart. Your pup will be in safe paws with me! Fun fact: I have played "MAX" (The Grinch's dog!) on The Broadway National Tour of How The Grinch Stole Christmas: The Musical for three years, so I know the mind of a dog quite well...! I’m currently working part-time with plenty of time for walking, sitting, boarding, playing, and taking care of pets! I have various clients who I work with independently but am happy to accept new Rover clients. I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs with various needs! Very happy to go case-by-case and make sure that you feel your best friend is getting all the care and attention they need. Whether it’s long nature adventures, or cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to spend quality time with your pet.
About: I've had dogs, big and small, my whole life! I'm currently always on the trails with my girls, a senior cattle dog and a puppy dachshund mix. I'm ready for any adventure, big or small! I'm currently available Thursday - Sunday to check in on your pets or take them out for little adventures while you are off on your own! We have a small home but lots of room for roaming. We do use leashes when out on trails so dogs must be comfortable with leashes.
“Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!”
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life. I’m the go to person in my family and friends group when someone needs help with their cats whether it’s getting medications into them or basic grooming. I’ve worked in a boarding facility where I cleaned up after cats daily and fed daily along with giving medications some oral and some injectable.

“Nikki was wonderful! She got us in last minute for daycare, and was so amazing with keeping us updated and sending the best pics! Our girls are happy pups and worn out from their big day. We will for sure use her services again!”
“Clifford has been staying with Charles and Christina, while I've been at work, the past few months. Not one complaint. Nothing but compliments (and a whole lot of them) about the way the take care of my best buddy. I wouldn't go to anyone else to take care of my pup”
“Christina is super professional, patient, and amazing with dogs. She has helped me immensely with my new rescue puppy and his rascally behaviors. She has a great set-up that is safe and shaded. Highly recommend.”

About: Relax! Let me give you a hand. I've been caring for animals for most of my life and am happy to help keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you're away. I'm experienced with cats and dogs of all ages, including seniors and pets who need oral medications. I'm also very comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care — litter boxes, accidents, muddy paws and all! I know leaving your pets can be stressful, so I'll send regular photos and updates and follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I'm happy to provide plenty of attention and playtime — or give your shy cat the respectful personal space they insist upon. A few things to know when booking with me: • House sitting: My standard house-sitting stay includes overnight care, generally from about 9 PM–9 AM, plus two daytime visits. This means your pets get plenty of company, but I am not in the home continuously throughout the day. If your pet needs more frequent or constant care, please let me know before booking so we can see if I'm a good fit. • Drop-ins: Standard visits are approximately 30 minutes and include feeding, fresh water, potty/litter care, medication if needed, and some attention or playtime. • Meet & greets: I prefer to meet new dogs before the first booking and am always happy to meet cats, too! We'll go over routines, feeding, medications, quirks and anything else I should know. • While you're away: Please let me know about any cameras in the home and whether anyone else will be entering the house during my stay. I don't bring guests into clients' homes. • Most importantly: Tell me what makes your pet your pet! The weird little routines, favorite toys, preferred sleeping spots, mortal enemies, and exact location where they expect their butt scratches are all useful information. I am lucky enough to work remotely and have lots of opportunity to get away during the day and care for your pets during the workday or in the evenings. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their normal routines and familiar surroundings. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, potty breaks, and household routines. For house sitting, my standard schedule is generally overnight from about 9 PM–9 AM, with two additional visits during the day. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s particular routine at our meet & greet. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how things are going while you’re away. Please let me know in advance about indoor cameras, anyone else who may be entering the home, and any behavioral or safety concerns I should know about.
About: Your pet's health and happiness is my priority and I will follow instructions to the smallest detail. I absolutely adore all animals! I've grown up with dogs and cats, and have spent at least 3 years pet sitting. I currently own two crazy senior cats who I'm obsessed with. In the recent past I had two sweet and mellow rescue pups. Throughout my childhood I took it upon myself to take care of the family pets. Looking after animals comes naturally to me and you can count on me to be that person at a party who spends more time with the cat than the people. I am available most days and times and am able to be pretty flexible. Weekends can get a little busy but I can fit a visit or two in if needed. Every day I pay attention to the animal's health and mood. I'm quick to notice if something is amiss and take care of it right away while communicating closely with the owner.
About: Hello! My name is Haley. I grew up in a pet loving home my family always had such a fondness for all animals. My house can be somewhat of a zoo with two dogs, three bunnies and a handful of cats but I wouldn’t change it for the world. We all recently relocated to Maine! It’s been terrific seeing the dogs play out in the snow. A true joy. Looking to get out meet people and their awesome pets. I would love to help you take care of your pup, big or small, and whatever the need may be to keep our furry friend’s tails wagging happily. Feel free to ask me anything else. Thank you so much for stopping by my profile! I currently have completely open availability, including overnight stays, check ins throughout the day or days, and some traveling depending on the distance to consider. Years of leash experience with one or more dogs at a time. Can easily administer medications. Monitor play time and keep a watchful eye for any possible issues.
About: I have a dog allergy that I take medicine for. I am willing to work with dogs. I am hoping that exposure to dogs will help my allergies improve. I am semi-flexible with my schedule. I work full time assisted living mainly overnights. I can accommodate and move around my days depending on your needs. I have a 5 year old, so it will all hinge on her care. I know how to follow dietary or physical restrictions set by the pets' owners. Clear instructions are key. I am not afraid of a challenge.
About: I have hands-on veterinary medicine experience, including working in an overnight animal emergency hospital, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and recognizing when something may require veterinary attention. I'm experienced with medications, senior pets, anxious pets, and animals who need extra patience and individualized care. I also understand how important it is to maintain each pet's normal routine while their family is away. Caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life, so I’m very comfortable building my schedule around their needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines with regular meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and medication when needed. My goal is to make their time away from their family feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. When house sitting, I keep pets in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and medications when needed. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and boundaries so they receive individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. I also treat my clients' homes with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping things clean, secure, and comfortable while their family is away.
About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. ⭐ Puppy training (basic obedience, focus work, and tricks) ⭐ Senior and palliative care experience ⭐ Fostered rescue dogs through local humane societies ⭐ Experience helping to run a boarding facility ⭐ Farm-raised with lifelong horse and animal experience ⭐ Comfortable with medications and special routines ⭐ Loving, family-oriented environment with plenty of attention and cuddles My love for animals started on the farm and through 4-H, where I learned responsible animal care from an early age. My parents operated a quality Dachshund breeding program, giving me experience with puppy development and socialization. I've spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, and I've had horses my entire life. One of my greatest privileges was caring for our beloved Labrador through her golden years, providing palliative care until she peacefully passed at 13. I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserve patience, love, and individualized care. When your pet stays with us, they won't just be watched—they'll be loved, spoiled, and welcomed as part of the family. I am a stay at home mom who loves being active. As a family we spend lots of time outside playing and enjoying what our 40 acre home has to offer. We go on two walks a day- weather permiting. Inside pets are family members who live in the house WITH us. Couch time is always available with additional beds on all different rooms if the pup prefers their own space. We have all verious types of toys including puzzle games, snuffle mats and for the heavu chewers, kongs, antlers, and bully sticks. We live away from the hectic lifestyle that most have and love it that way. I do occasionally take on a couple of families pets at the same time but do keep the pets seperated for safety purposes. If you feel youre dogs would be happier being the only visitors, let me know and we can almost always figure something out. I have a large area for dogs to run and play by themselves if they prefer or can spend time with our two friendly dogs who love to play even more.I offer crates if needed. But typically allow them run of the house and let them sleep where they are comfortable. Pets are more than welcome make themselves comfortable on the furniture or bed. Medications or speciality diets are no issue. Im always willing to discuss accommodations. Message me and we will see what will work to best make your pets the most comfortable.

“Eliot has been a huge help with C.K. adjusting to our new home and town. He looks forward to their visits and has no anxiety about me leaving. She is dependable and we are lucky to have her.”
About: I always tune into the unique personality of each animal and I don't rest until I'm sure the animal knows its safe, loved and cared for. Since I was born I have loved animals so genuinely and patiently that I've never encountered a problem, even with the hard to figure out ones. I love them all and my husband does as well. Therefore we treat our pets like they're one of us, with plentiful attention. We are complete home-bodies. We like spending time outdoors, and going for walks. Our home is very inviting as well, with a fenced yard, multiple spare rooms, close to many trails near by and lots of spare blankets and pillows. Feel free to give any advise on how to care better for your dog, and I will be more than happy to accommodate.

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”

Her property is perfect for a dog that's used to being off leash and Clover even had a friend to play with while she was there. Nikki sent plenty of updates, pictures, and video which was perfect because I missed my baby! I would absolutely recommend Nikki to anyone that needs a pet sitter ?.”
“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!”

“Marissa is always thoughtful and sweet with my boy, Blue. When we have to leave him, he knows he gets to have a sleepover with his pal Marissa, and it’s like a mini dog vaca for him too. We have such a better time knowing that he’s in great hands!”
“I traveled from colorado and needed somewhere to board service dog while on a whitewater rafting trip and film shoot. She had the best reviews in the area and they were correct! She took great care of my service dog and it eased my worries as we have never been separated apart from a grooming appointment here and there. She sent photos every day which helped ease my mind too. Thank you so much for taking great care of my dog.”
About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.
About: Highlight: I am experienced with aggressive and reactive animals! I have had animals in my home and life as long as I can remember. I have cared for countless dogs, cats, and small animals. At one point in my life I had seven dogs and a number of other pets. I have been providing independent pet care since late 2015. Animal care and rescue is my greatest passion. I am skilled at handling dogs and other animals of all ages, sizes, and temperments. I have worked with aggressive and reactive dogs and have experience deescalating conflicts when they arise. I am more than happy to care for any kind of animals- not just dogs and cats. My own current pets are two dogs and four cats. I also have experience caring for small animals, various poultry and livestock, and horses. When I was 15 years old I started occasionally farm/house sitting for a family with dogs, horses, and a cat, and caring for all of the animals there during my stay. With them I have worked daytime hours as well as overnight stays for a few days at a time so they could take trips out of state. In my adult life I have branched out, first with Rover a few years ago, and then with expanding farther into launching my private pet care business at the beginning of 2024 while still maintaining my presence on Rover. My client base is steadily growing and I am excited to see where this venture takes me! I am reliable and committed to providing excellent service for my clients. If you want a pet caretaker you can count on who will treat your animals as well as their own, I'm your gal! I am operating my pet care business, Mainely Pets - Care & Products, full-time! This means I have lots of availability to care for your pets, but for house-sitting in particular it is best to reach out significantly in advance to ensure I can fit you in! Sunday bookings are restricted to things that *must* occur on that day in order for me to try to have some level of work life balance. I take utmost care to keep animals in my care safe and properly contained. I make sure to follow whatever rules and structures are in place for the animals to ensure their safety. Pets are always leashed inside before heading for a walk and the leash isn't unclipped until we are back inside with a closed door. I am vigilant in looking out for potential risks (e.g. other animals, cars, unsafe things they could eat, etc) and making sure to give them a wide berth. In my own home I have any small animals carefully segregated into rooms that predator animals don't go into. Anytime I leave the room, I do a check and verify that all predators are outside the door so nobody can get hurt. I monitor the dogs around the cats to make sure all interactions are safe. I have utlized crates and baby gates when necessary to keep animals safely contained and/or separated in the past. I am skilled at containing flight risk animals and watching out for their safety. I am also fully insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates (PSA).
About: Taking care of beloved pets is taking care of pet owners. Relaxing time away can only happen if you can trust that your pets are loved and taken care of almost as good as you😊 I have had a variety of pets my entire life. Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to take excellent care of their pets. I have gone to their home, they have come to my home and I have visited just to walk them. I love all animals and have learned over the years how to recognize their individual needs. We have a quiet space with lots of grass and woods for playing. My groomer told me there is a need for pet care and I want more pets in my life, so this is perfect for me. I work closely with pet parents to make sure your pet has everything they need to feel right at home. We are outside a lot! I love to walk in all kinds of weather and I love to play outside whenever possible. In addition, I love farm animals too! Your pets are safe in my back yard. I always go outside with the pets and will use a leash if need be. I make pets feel right at home inside our home as well. I have an active schedule, so contact me early if you will be requesting pet care!💕😊 Your pet is always my priority while in my care. I am open to requests for your special pet. I play outside a lot. It’s my favorite! I also take lots of pictures and give plenty of treats.
About: I am a big time dog lover! I work from home and am able to be here with the pets all day and take them out at least every 2 hours or as needed. I have a big house with a decent sized yard (NOT fenced). I'd love a few more companions hanging out with me and my dog, Lola! There aren't a lot of pet sitting options in this area so here I am making it an option :) Please come check me out! I work from home so i am here all day with the pets and able to tend to them as needed. i get an hour break for lunch and thats usually when i take my dog out to play/walk. I am available for day time pet sitting during the week. If needed me on a weekend we can most likely work something out-case by case basis-but it wasn't something i wanted to promote on my profile.
“Larissa is absolutely wonderful! Rupert greatly enjoyed his stay in her safe and loving home. You can tell she genuinely cares for your animal as if they were her own. Larissa provided photos throughout the week and a recap of their adventures. Definitely recommended!”
“Missy is terrific! Very lucky to have found her to care for our 2 yr old English Golden. Great communication, regular updates, pictures, lots of outdoor activities, and our pup clearly loved and and was comfortable w Missy and her family, human and canine (Charlie). Brix was very happy and relaxed when she got home. :-) Highly recommend!”
“Monica was able to watch my dog on short notice and accommodate her both at my home and at hers. My only criticism is that I wanted more photos from all of their amazing adventures together!”
