“Alex was so great with my dog Cora! She's a newly adopted rescue, so I was nervous about how she would handle a new place/person but Alex helped her settle right in. She even made a few new doggy friends while she was there! Alex kept me updated on her & sent me pics, which definitely helped with my anxiety about her adjusting. I will definitely be booking Alex again next time I have to go out of town.”
“So hard to leave this pretty girl for a whole week but she was in such good hands with Jess. She was treated just like she was at HOME! Loved that she had other dogs and a toddler to occupy her stay. Thanks for the daily pictures and updates.”
About: I’ve always grown up with a dog in my home. I have experience handling a variety breeds of all sizes, from a small 20lb Cairn Terrier to a 185lb Boerboel! I also have experience administering medication which included oral consumption as well as shots. I have been very reliable to my close family members and friends to take care of their dogs and cats when they are working or away on vacation! Aside from Rover’s guarantee , I am also separately insured to give you an extra ease of mind when choosing me for your sitting needs! Pricing: Please understand pricing is non-negotiable. Prices shown on Rover are accurate and up to date (as of March 2026). Initial pricing shown during search is a base rate - additional rates may apply depending on times/ animals that are needing care. An accurate quote will be provided after submitting a request. I do not offer discounts at this time, thank you for understanding! House Sitting Requests: Please keep in mind that I am catering to repeat clients I have throughout the week day as well! Depending on my schedule, I may not be at your home 24/7, however, I guarantee your pets won’t be alone longer than 5-6 hours. Typically I limit leaving to 2 times a day to accommodate these clients. (I won’t be gone 5-6 hours each time) My coming and going schedule will be provided prior to sitting! Constant Care: Constant care is applied to any sitting that doesn’t allow me to leave for more than 4 hours of the day, per day. Constant care rates start at $175/ night (additional rates still apply) and increase based off of pet’s needs. Please understand this service may not always be available and interferes with ongoing mid day clients. Price reflects alternative arrangements I need to make for existing clients. If you have any questions regarding this, please reach out! I currently only allow one family for boarding at a time. Prices reflect solo care and not having to worry about exposure to other dogs during their stay. I currently have one cat in the home - a 12 year old Maine Coon mix who is very relaxed and tends to mind her own business. Between my boyfriend and I, there is always someone on property, so potty breaks can be provided frequently!
“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.”
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.
“Nancy was fantastic and so super sweet! Very responsive when we needed to communicate and easy to work with for drop off/pick up logistics. She sent us some pictures of our happy pup during our time away and we felt he was in great hands the whole time.”
“Amazing sitter, kept us updated the entire time and sent photos with every update. Alanna made sure our little girl was well taken care of and comfortable. Will definitely return for any future trips. ☺️♥️”
“I am so grateful for Bethany and her family for the loving care they give to my Australian shepherd, Remi. They care for her and treat her as part of the family. My affection and confidence may best be expressed by sharing that Bethany is listed in my contacts as “ Remi’s Rover Mom. “ I highly recommend 🙂🙏🐕”
“Ellie and Sarah are great! Their house has a great setup for dogs with a fenced in area in the yard. They were super responsive to my messages, provided pictures, and asked questions of their own to make sure they provided my pets with excellent care. They were also flexible with my pickup time when my travel plans changed due to weather. Would book again!”
About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a teenager! I am comfortable with Reactive, Aggressive and Nervous dogs. I have Three of my own nervous/reactive dogs! I've dog sat for family and friends along with having 4 of my own dogs! I've worked at a doggie daycare and have experience with particular routines that our pets have. I understand that dogs are our family and I will treat your pet just like they're my own! I am also experienced with large high energy dogs and Working dogs! I am currently working part time as my mom's cleaning business and I am Active in dog related activities. I do a lot with my own pups! I treat all dogs in my care as if they're my own! I use positive methods in handling dogs because they deserve the best and kindest care! I have puppy sat all sorts of dogs from huge Great Danes, high energy Malinois and adorable little Yorkies.
“Kathleen took great care of our Ellie. She seemed really happy with all the snuggles and adventures they went on while she was under Kathleen’s care. Definitely recomment if you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter.”
About: Currently I am between caregiving clients trying to decide what my next move is. I was born into an animal loving family, extended family, etc. I am 59 years old and have never been without at least a cat or two. I've also had 2 of my own dogs since 2005. My last senior dog passed the rainbow bridge in 2024. Born in Connecticut, lived for 45 years in Maryland and now I am living in Maine where I love it! One reason I fell in love with Maine is you can bring your dog almost anywhere here. They are a pet loving no-kill state! I have administered just about every kind of pet med out there. Every single pet has their own personality and I am very patient to learn that personality so we will become friends. I have a pretty open schedule with no real deadlines, so when ever your pets need walks, feeding, medications or just spend time with them, I am there. My own pets get feed twice a day. The time varies depending on my pet sitting schedule. But usually Its about 10am and 7pm. Whatever instructions left for me for a pet sit, I will follow to the letter. I will ask questions or text later to make sure I understand everything your pet needs. I've never run into an animal not liking me, but I am very aware of them not be comfortable with me at first. That can be stressful for them of course, so its very important that their care instructions are followed to keep them as anxiety free as possible.
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: I have had experience with pets since I was I child, my family and I love all kind of pets , I am from Costa Rica so I always had a pet in my house and around from friends and family. I am available most of the time, I am super open to work holidays, weekends and nights, just contact me before booking to check availability. I have my own farm house in Swanville Maine, a very quiet and very peaceful place without many neighbors around, perfect for pets and very near from Belfast.

“Nicole did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were on a work trip. She was communicative, kind, and sent plenty of pictures. We absolutely recommend her if you're looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s)! Thank you, Nicole!”
“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my two shy kitties! I warned her that she’d probably only see them under the bed, but she sent photos of them out and about and bugging her for attention. I would definitely book again with her.”
About: Hi I'm Ashley! I am entering 40s and it's time to do what I love doing, spending my time caring for others precious fur/scale kids! I've previously had a daycare, and miss my clients so much! I've been caring for other people's pets for most of my life, I've always been an animal lover and as a child wanted to be a zoo keeper. I have my own zoo at home and know reptile care, ferrets, sugar glider care not just cats and dogs. I aim to please to keep both you and your pets happy and healthy!

“Liseli stayed in our house several nights to cat sit our babies while we were traveling. She has provided an exceptional , smart and very qualified service beyond what we could have expected, always attentive to the cat moods and comfort, keeping us perfectly informed about the kitties and also sending many pictures. Our Maine Coon can be difficult, and she managed to win her over. We warmly recommend Liseli for pet sitting, and will definitely use her services again the next times we travel!”
“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.”
“Hayleigh did a wonderful job with our cats. They were adopted litter mates at the age of 3 months. They have never been without us, so they were a little shy about showing themselves. Everything was done as asked, feeding, litter box, etc. Would use again if the need arises.”
About: Leave your pets with someone who makes them feel like you never left them. I will treat your babies like my own. They will not go a second without feeling they’re loved and cared for. I have a full time job besides this. It’s a 7:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday. I also have a part time job. You will know my schedule when we talk to see if it will be a good fit! Eventually I wanna do this as much as I can. So once I get frequent accounts I will be dropping my part time job and go from there! Taking care of someone else’s pets is a privilege. Yes, I am getting paid but I also take your trust in me taking care of your babies seriously. I will do as told and not do anything you wouldn’t approve of. I will take care of your pets the way I would want mine to be cared for. I always like to message frequently to give updates and picture! * ILL BE TAKING A DOG FIRST AID AND CPR CLASS SOON*
“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.”
“Amanda did a great job, sent many pictures and updates and was very clear about her availability ahead of time! Came home to a clean space and a well taken care of kitty. We were lucky to have her!”
“Melissa sat our four cats while we were out of town for the weekend and she did an excellent job. She was communicative and she was attentive to our pets. We’ve always had some minor issues with them at meal time; Melissa is the one who figured out a viable solution. We so appreciate her effort and care. We’ll definitely be calling on Melissa again and have no hesitation in recommending her for your pet sitting needs.”
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.

As well as a 4 year old boy and 4 month old boy and 2 tween girls who all love animals.

Everyone’s safety is my number 1 priority as I have a 9 month old baby as well as other small children in the home. As I’m a stay at home mom, I have plenty of time throughout my day to implement your pets needs into our schedule. I don’t mind last minute bookings, as long as we’re free and non booked up. While we don’t have a fenced in yard, we have no issue taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood and leashes in the yard when necessary.
“My dog had a great time with Lincey and her family and I received updates throughout the day confirming that she was safe and having fun.

Thanks Lincey!”

About: With over 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s second best friend while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide, my strong communication with pet parents, and my flexibility to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and energy levels. I work full-time as a pet sitter, so your pet’s well-being and routine are my top priority. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, large breed dogs, and high-energy pups that need extra playtime. I also offer overnight stays with discounted rates for multiple pets, and I’m happy to discuss custom bundles based on your needs—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates consistently, and treats your pets like family—I’d love to help. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—I’m a full-time sitter, so my schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I also block off time for overnight stays and am available on weekends and holidays with advance notice. Since this is my primary focus, I’m flexible and responsive, making it easy to accommodate custom routines or last-minute bookings when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping in for visits, I treat every space with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow all feeding, potty, and medication instructions closely, and always double-check doors, gates, and locks. I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort level and body language, especially when it comes to shy or energetic pets, and I adjust my approach to match what they need—whether it’s quiet company, active play, or just a little extra patience. For overnight stays, I create a peaceful and familiar atmosphere by keeping to your pet’s bedtime routine, favorite toys, and walking routes. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Marisol is great! She is communicative and reliable. She takes extra time for cuddles and treats. And she gets along great would my pup. Would gladly recommend her to anyone :)”

Every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and intuitive understanding—and that starts with meeting them on familiar ground. When I enter your home, I bring a calm, grounded presence. I follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible while gently introducing enrichment, affection, and companionship. Whether your dog loves fetch in the yard, your cat prefers a quiet window perch, or your livestock need a gentle hand and clear communication, I adjust to meet their energy and needs. I specialize in tending senior pets, anxious or reactive animals, and pets with special diets or medications. I also offer Reiki calming sessions—gentle energy work that helps soothe nerves, balance energy, and promote well-being.
About: I am a young adult who has a passion for working with animals. I have had pets my entire life and recently got my own puppy, whom I’ve been working with. I would love to work with your animals as well and get more experience. This is my passion and a talent that I would love to develop. I am looking to get a career in working with animals and would love the experience. I have a part-time job, but it is very flexible so I pretty much have all availability. I will be available most days as long as scheduled ahead of time. I live in a large field away from roads, and I have a dog friendly puppy and the ability to crate dogs if they need space apart. I will abide by the clients wishes how they would like me to care for their pets.

About: I'm a 53yr old, active woman who spent 15 years as an Animal Control Officer in my local towns and then with my local Sheriff's office. I've fostered and adopted numerous rescues and am a huge animal advocate. Caring for other people's animals has always been my dream and now I'm doing it. I'm available almost any day at any time. I'm happy to stay with your pets or just stop in for a visit. I do not offer pet sitting in my home as my two rescues do not do well with other dogs. I will adhere to your wants and rules for your animals. I love my pets, and I will treat yours as if they are my own. But I will not do anything, give them anything, or let them do anything you do not approve of.
About: Hello! I'm Jess - I'm from Northern California and moved to Maine last year. Growing up we always had dogs (and sometimes cats), so I learned to take care of pets from a young age.

I'm currently only working through Rover, so my schedule is very flexible right now! I'm available for drop-ins, all-day stays and overnights, as well as for long-term pet-sitting in your home. I love making every animal feel cared for - from playing with them, going on long walks outside, providing pets and cuddles, giving them occasional treats, etc. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also love to send little text and video updates, so you can check in on them while you're away. I've even done FaceTimes with pets and their owners!

“Alex was so great with my dog Cora! She's a newly adopted rescue, so I was nervous about how she would handle a new place/person but Alex helped her settle right in. She even made a few new doggy friends while she was there! Alex kept me updated on her & sent me pics, which definitely helped with my anxiety about her adjusting. I will definitely be booking Alex again next time I have to go out of town.”
“So hard to leave this pretty girl for a whole week but she was in such good hands with Jess. She was treated just like she was at HOME! Loved that she had other dogs and a toddler to occupy her stay. Thanks for the daily pictures and updates.”
About: I’ve always grown up with a dog in my home. I have experience handling a variety breeds of all sizes, from a small 20lb Cairn Terrier to a 185lb Boerboel! I also have experience administering medication which included oral consumption as well as shots. I have been very reliable to my close family members and friends to take care of their dogs and cats when they are working or away on vacation!

I do not offer discounts at this time, thank you for understanding! House Sitting Requests: Please keep in mind that I am catering to repeat clients I have throughout the week day as well!

Between my boyfriend and I, there is always someone on property, so potty breaks can be provided frequently!
“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.”
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.
“Nancy was fantastic and so super sweet! Very responsive when we needed to communicate and easy to work with for drop off/pick up logistics. She sent us some pictures of our happy pup during our time away and we felt he was in great hands the whole time.”
“Amazing sitter, kept us updated the entire time and sent photos with every update. Alanna made sure our little girl was well taken care of and comfortable. Will definitely return for any future trips. ☺️♥️”
“I am so grateful for Bethany and her family for the loving care they give to my Australian shepherd, Remi. They care for her and treat her as part of the family. My affection and confidence may best be expressed by sharing that Bethany is listed in my contacts as “ Remi’s Rover Mom. “ I highly recommend 🙂🙏🐕”
“Ellie and Sarah are great! Their house has a great setup for dogs with a fenced in area in the yard. They were super responsive to my messages, provided pictures, and asked questions of their own to make sure they provided my pets with excellent care. They were also flexible with my pickup time when my travel plans changed due to weather. Would book again!”
About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was a teenager! I am comfortable with Reactive, Aggressive and Nervous dogs. I have Three of my own nervous/reactive dogs! I've dog sat for family and friends along with having 4 of my own dogs! I've worked at a doggie daycare and have experience with particular routines that our pets have. I understand that dogs are our family and I will treat your pet just like they're my own! I am also experienced with large high energy dogs and Working dogs! I am currently working part time as my mom's cleaning business and I am Active in dog related activities. I do a lot with my own pups! I treat all dogs in my care as if they're my own! I use positive methods in handling dogs because they deserve the best and kindest care! I have puppy sat all sorts of dogs from huge Great Danes, high energy Malinois and adorable little Yorkies.
About: Currently I am between caregiving clients trying to decide what my next move is. I was born into an animal loving family, extended family, etc. I am 59 years old and have never been without at least a cat or two. I've also had 2 of my own dogs since 2005. My last senior dog passed the rainbow bridge in 2024. Born in Connecticut, lived for 45 years in Maryland and now I am living in Maine where I love it! One reason I fell in love with Maine is you can bring your dog almost anywhere here. They are a pet loving no-kill state! I have administered just about every kind of pet med out there. Every single pet has their own personality and I am very patient to learn that personality so we will become friends. I have a pretty open schedule with no real deadlines, so when ever your pets need walks, feeding, medications or just spend time with them, I am there. My own pets get feed twice a day. The time varies depending on my pet sitting schedule. But usually Its about 10am and 7pm. Whatever instructions left for me for a pet sit, I will follow to the letter. I will ask questions or text later to make sure I understand everything your pet needs. I've never run into an animal not liking me, but I am very aware of them not be comfortable with me at first. That can be stressful for them of course, so its very important that their care instructions are followed to keep them as anxiety free as possible.
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: I have two labs, one is six years old and the second is six months old. People have trusted me to take care of their dogs for years and I love being around animals. I currently work full-time from home and I’m outside with my dogs every day playing! pet care is a necessity for me as my world revolves around my girls. I have two labs that are very friendly and playful, I also have the ability to crate dogs as well. I used to work in clients homes so I have a vast understanding of the necessity to keep your home safe and well cared for. I also understand the vulnerability that your pet may feel if you are gone at work or for a period of time.
“Melanie provided a safe, nurturing environment for our Lucy. She was warm and welcoming when we met, and clearly gave Lucy lots of love while she was in her care. She has a large yard for dogs to play. She sent me pictures every day, both of Lucy playing with the other dogs, as well as relaxing. I felt completely confident that Lucy was in the best of hands!”
