1. Karen S.

“Couldn't have been better! Karen was awesome with our furry kids. They absolutely loved having her for a visit as did we. Part of me hates leaving such a great review for fear Karen will be booked when we need her....but fair is fair. We'll definitely be calling upon her again, and soon!”


2. Bethany F.

“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup! She played with her and gave her snuggles! She sent us updates, pictures, and videos. Awesome sitter! I think Bella is sad that we are home and she doesn't have Beth! I recommend her highly!!!!!”


3. Glendon Y.


“Glendon was absolutely amazing with our reactive pup, Desmond while we were out of town for a few days. He has separation anxiety and can be tough to settle but Glendon was patient and persistent and they soon became buddies. This was a major accomplishment because Desmond usually prefers females over males. Glendon was also available on a very short notice and flexible with the times we requested which helped us out immensely. Our house was clean when we returned and he even made us food so we didn’t have to cook after traveling all day. This was the first time a new person has looked after Desmond and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands :)”


4. Anna B.

“Anna did a great time with my old english sheepdog...especially in light of the double snowstorms we had.”


5. Tiana T.

“Tiana was absolutely fabulous! Professional. Personable. Intuitive. Our young pugs had the absolute best time with Tania. She bonded with them instantly and them with her. Due to their bond, Mademoiselle and Captian (sister and brother), were very responsive and attentive to Tania. She took them on numerous daily outings such as: Little Long Pond; Pretty Marsh; Blue Horizon; and a hiking trail within walking distance from our home. Returning from our ten day trip, we were greeted by our two very happy little furbabies. Our home was immaculate (cleaner than when we left), bed linens, etc. were laundered and folded. Our plants looked better then ever and all our mail was organized neatly on our dining room table. To boot, early on in our trip, I needed help from Tania to put together an order placed on my Etsy shop. Having no experience in doing so, however, in no time Tania processed and shipped the order. Tania is truly exceptional.”


6. Jazlynne W.

“Jazlynne is wonderful! She gave us lots of updates and pictures- and as first time users of this app made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. It’s easy to tell she genuinely loves animals. I would ask her to care for our dog again in a heartbeat!”


7. Jessica R.
About: I have been looking after animals my whole life. I love them so much I made a career out of it as a Vet Tech and get to comfort and take of them everyday! I am happy to care for anything from puppies to senior dogs and medical case animals. 💖 I currently have a dog of my own. I work part time and am in school the other half. I am free most days and am very flexible with my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have 2 fenced in yards. I have a quite space separate from the household and provide lots of calm positive love for any animals in my care. I'm happy to play and acclimate to each animals needs


8. William W.

“William went above and beyond and sent many photos! Highly recommend again!”


9. Ashley G.

“Ashley was a terrific house/pet-sitter while I was out of town for several days. Communicated well, provided updates and my pup had a wonderful time with her!”


10. David R.
“David is a reliable sitter that takes great care in his clients. My dog always comes back tired from walks and he is able to administer medicine to both the cats and dog.”


11. Sonia B.

“Sonia was amazing! Lots of pictures throughout and our anxious pooch was at ease and loved her instantly. Will definitely be using her as much as we can book her!”


12. Shmerl B.

“Molly was wonderful, enthusiastic, great with my 8 year old lab who is obsessed with frisbee and her dog, Leon, was a gem. Highly recommend her.”


13. Libby N.

“Libby was an excellent sitter. I was in town for a graduation celebration at the University of Maine and Libby watched my puppy while I attended an event. She arrived on time at my vacation rental and took excellent care of my puppy. I am so grateful that I was able to leave my puppy with someone I could trust and he had so much fun with Libby. I highly recommend Libby for all your pet needs.”


14. Jasmine S.

“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”


15. Sydney J.

“Sydney petsit in our home this past week, taking care of our cat and dog. She was incredibly responsive and sent sweet pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Our neighbors often pitch in to help with each other's pets, and Sydney coordinated with these neighbors to provide seamless care. Definitely will be working with Sydney again!”


16. Caitlin H.

“Truly was so happy and relaxed with Caitlin!!”


17. Nicole F.

“Nicole was great. Bella was happy to see us when we got back, but not stressed at all. It was a huge relief to us to have someone we trusted watching her while I took my husband to the hospital for an outpatient procedure. Turned out well all the way around and I would use her again.”


18. Bohni K.

“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”

Go to https://www.rover.com/sit/kayac58964 and use my promo code KAYAC58964 to get $20 off your first booking!

20. Madilyn N.
About: My family has five dogs, training has been one of my hobbies since childhood! When it comes to dogs I have been there and done that- there is nothing your dog could do to surprise me. I come from a farming veterinary family so I am equipped to look for any warning signs should your pup need any care during my visit. I also have two cats of my own that are dog friendly and very curious. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and entertained! If your pet has any special medical needs or needs to be administered medication, I am more than happy to accommodate that. I am also a pet parent to two adorable kittens, I know the patience they require and how rewarding they are. Hope I get to meet you and your furry friend soon! Do you have more than one pet? No worries! I only charge +$5 per pet, the more the merrier! I am a law student with a summer internship, meaning I am unavailable during the work week 9-5. I am available the rest of the week and would love to coordinate a schedule with you. Communication is key! If I notice anything is off, I will alert you right away. Every pet is different, some are simply quirky- it is important that I let you know if I see any abnormal behaviour. I have experience with dogs with severe anxiety, injuries, joint problems, behaviour issues, you name it. If your pet needs any sort of special care, I will be happy to help. If I see any concerning behaviour I will let you know immediately and we can plan from there the course of action that needs to be taken.
