About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.

“Alexxis is amazing! She’s on time, reliable, and wonderful with my pup. She’s been great when I’ve needed a quick schedule change or with any special needs my dog has. She’s the best”

Julia S.

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

“Super! Kayla was wonderful with my 3 dogs who all have varying needs: young to old. She was very responsive, caring and my dogs felt comfortable with her on all her visits.”

“Alex managed a very excited and energetic 2 1/2 year old on her dog walk. She took some great pics .... Yuki looked like she was having a great time !”

About: I live in Waterville and would love to watch your fur babies. I have had a dog my whole life mostly labs but I really enjoy dogs and watching their interactions with humans and with other pets. My pups go everywhere with me especially on hikes they are troopers. Wouldn't mind having some other dogs to accompany us. I am currently working full time from home with a flexible schedule. I take my dogs for walks around the neighborhood on breaks and lunches. I have a large back yard with a lot of room to play ball or to fetch. I have other friendly playful dogs that would love to have some play mates.

I am a very big animal lover. I love cuddling animals and making them feel loved. I love it when pet parents leave me great directions and I love sending them notes or pictures back of their babies to brighten their days. My favorite thing is sending pet parents their pictures of their babies so they can see how they're doing.

About: I have taken care of dogs for years. I believe they are apart of your family and are your children. Last year I watched about 15 dogs at one time back to back for the holidays! They all slept in my bed. I have had dogs in every size from big black labs to small chihuahua. I have watched several dogs that have had to have medication. I have taken care of a pup and put 4 drops in each eye 3 times a day.I have taken care of a sweet pup that was blind so I had to clap for it to get its way around. I absolutely love animals and showing them that they matter. I stay at home with my two children that also love animals so my schedule is always open. I am very flexible for your convenience. If I am away from my home it's mainly in the evenings or to take my kids to appts which varies. I have a fenced-in backyard on Travis AFB that looks out to the hills and trains along with several dog parks around me. I also have a big garage where if it rains they can be played within a big open space as in fetch or tug of war!! I love to send so many pictures and videos to the dog mommy and daddy also, so you won't have to worry about how they are doing! I have two children aged 3 & 1 that adore dogs and are great with them. Our little 8 lb Shih Tzu puppy will also be around, she sleeps in a play yard and is very well with other dogs. My husband also lives in the household but is gone during the day. We love to go on walks and runs every day!!! We LOVE the outdoors.

About: I may not have a dog, but I have taken care of dogs and been around them for many years. I was around many family members who had dogs such as Newfoundlands, Labradors, and little dogs such as Chihuahuas. I pet sit four cats and a dog several times for a family member while she was on vacation and that was a very good experience. Your fur babies will be well cared for and given lots of love and attention. I do not have a dog or cat of my own currently. However, I have taken care of many cats in a rescue. I have pet sit many times and it is something I enjoy. I dream of fostering dogs and possibly cats in the future, as animals make me happy. Your pet will be in great care and their safety is what matters most before anything else. Your pets needs are my top priority and I will do whatever needs to be done for them to be content. If your dog is a senior or has a disability, I am able to adapt to whatever needs to be modified for their needs.

She handled her perfectly when I know my pup can be a menace to society lol! I would recommend Kelsey to anyone and will use her in the future!”

About: I am excited to join Rover because of my compassion for animals and their safety. I have been around animals my entire life and currently run a horse boarding facility and feral cat rescue! The health and safety of your animals is my top priority, and so is treating them with the kindness that I would want my own animals to be treated with. I am comfortable with dogs or all ages, and I am very attentive to puppies and kittens and elderly animals in need of medications or therapies. My hours surrounding my part time job, which is 3 to 4 hours in the afternoon, is very flexible. I am confident I can accommodate nearly every time or day and length of stay. In a client's home I will care for the pets however I am instructed. However, I will never allow an animal to free roam or allow the animal to be turned out in a fenced in area that I find unsuitable, regardless of instruction, as I do not want to be responsible for the animal's escape.
