“Dawn is the best, we feel so lucky to have found her! We get the cutest pictures and detailed updates every day. It is clear to us that she genuinely enjoys spending time with our dog. He is a hound so it is important to us that Dawn lets his nose lead the way to explore. Wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a caring, flexible and personable sitter/walker.”
About: I have had many pets since I was just 4 years old! My life has revolved around my pets since I was young, and have always been a big responsibility in my daily life. I can’t imagine my life without pets which is why even while having my own pets, I deeply love to care for others pets as well, and ensure happiness and health in their lives! I currently have 5 pets to care for, so of course everyday I am making sure to keep up with them and their needs! I am looking to work with pets as a full time job so I am hoping to be completely involved in pet care for my own, and of course others pets! Working in other people’s home I will ensure your pets are deeply cared for and looked after by making sure to follow all instructions, pay attention to each pet on a personal level and treat them as if they are my own pet!
About: Hi! I’m Sofey, and I work as a kennel technician in Scarborough, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities every day. I’ve spent my entire life around animals—volunteering at shelters, helping out with farm animals, and caring for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets, including guinea pigs, rabbits, and more. I’m experienced with walking, basic training, administering meds, and handling all kinds of temperaments. I live with my own sweet dog, Freddie, and two adorable guinea pigs, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pet is shy, playful, energetic, or just needs some extra love and patience, I’ve got them covered 💛 My schedule revolves around my job, which has no set days, but I work four 10-hour shifts a week, usually gone from about 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM including my commute. On my days off, I love focusing on caring for animals, whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or just spending quality time with them! I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my apartment due to a no pet policy, but I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home, stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs!
About: I have taken care of a variety of pets my entire life, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and other small rodents. I have an open spare room which I use for separate housing if needed for case by case bases. I have three cats and a dog of my own that are spoiled beyond measure but the spare room comes in handy for new friends to be separated. I have worked as a waitress for the last 5 years but after suffering a shoulder injury I am currently looking for opportunities to work from home. I am currently only working one day or two out of the week, meaning I have just about complete open availability. I do my best to provide a safe environment for all of the pets I chose to bring into my home. I do have camera set up in each of my hall ways and living room where I can watch what my pets are doing while I am awhile. There are few times, if any, when I am not one on one with the animal during their time staying with me unless they personally prefer space but I try and keep an eye or camera on them at all times. Plenty of appropriate toys and treats will be provided. There is a closed off spare room provided for pets that need to be kept separate, as needed case by case. I have a medium sized yard that is not fenced in. For dog cases where appropriate I will bring pet to dog park that is close by. Mainly will be walked on leash on side streets and around the yard. Your pet will be treated as one of my own. I do want to mention 2 flights of stairs are required to get in to the building so while I’ll do my best to accommodate all animals, ones who struggle with stairs and need frequent yard time need to know.
About: I recently had to say goodbye to my 8 year old black lab due to cancer. I am looking to spend some time helping others with their pet care. As a pet owner I understand how stressful time away can be due to missing your animal. Let me make your work day, work trip or vacation a little easier. I work full-time from home so I have flexibility to pet sit in your home, be available for walks or potty breaks, etc. During my free weekends I am available to stay with your pet. I am able to care for your pets in your home to make them feel safe and comfortable. This helps to avoid transportation or any settling in period.
“Stephanie is fantastic! She did a great job with drop in visits with my 8 week old puppy and was very knowledgeable in helping with the potty training process in my absences. She had lots of helpful tips and was super professional and communicative. Highly recommend Stephanie will all pups!”
About: I have a deep affection for dogs from all walks of life, old, young, special needs you name it! I have been lucky to get to have 10 years of experience with many large breed high energy dogs. Whether your dog loves to snooze on the couch or play for hours on end, I will be there for their every need and wish! I currently work 4x10 hour days, and am fully available Thursdays, Saturday and Sundays. Schedule may be flexible for different days depending on the circumstance. I am usually available for last minute care requests as well! It's my primary goal to make sure your fur baby first and foremost feels safe and comfortable when I care for them. It can be stressful having someone new come into your space, so allowing time for slow introduction and bonding are very important. I want to be able to build trust and a loving bond with your pet, so both you and them know they're getting top quality care, love and affection from their new human friend.
About: I have experience in training puppies. My own dog is a mix of high energy dog breeds so I have experience with those breeds as well. I work for my husband’s self employment business and can do walks during the week. I can be flexible with the time of day for walks. I have extra leashes if need be, and plenty of doggy bags. I have a pup of my own to keep your dog company. My husband will likely be on the walks as well so there would be another pair of eyes and hands to make sure all pups are well taken care of.
“Rhea has been wonderful! She has gone above and beyond for Honey, taking her to the dog park and teaching her basic commands. Honey is always happier on the days she sees Rhea. She is caring and trustworthy. Highly recommended.”
About: Hi, I am Taylor! I live in Wells with my husband and work full time as a nurse practitioner. In my free time, I love playing, hiking and loving on my two rescue dogs, Archie and Leo! I have self-taught myself a lot of training techniques since having him. I would love to get to know your dog and be a reliable sitter whenever you need help! I look forward to working with you. I work full time but am off on Tuesdays and then have availability evenings, weekends, and holidays. I would love to work with you to find a schedule that works! I have a large backyard that is not fenced in but can leash your dog. I also have a nice walking path through the woods in my yard that dogs love! When I am at your house, I can care for your dog however you prefer.
About: The importance of your pet and their health are very important to me. As a dog owner I am educated and have personal experience with pets. My whole life I have always had a furry friend with me and could not imagine living without one. I am very patient and understanding of shy pets. My dog, Ruby, is a rescue from Georgia who was abused. When we first got her she was very timid and would get startled by any noise around her. Now that we have had her for 2 years she is like a whole different dog. With lots of love she has finally gotten to a point of safety and happiness to enjoy her environment without worry anymore. Hopefully my story helps with your decision!

I'm available basically 7 days a week right now. I can tailor my availability to your needs.

Hallie L.
“Hallie and I have had the pleasure of knowing each other for over 4 years. As an avid pet lover myself. It was really important to find someone who cares and is as knowledgeable about pet care as myself. Thankfully. I found just that. She has expanded my own knowledge of pet care ten fold as she has experience with other animals than just cars and dog's. If you are in need of any pet services and love your pets as much as we do, please consider your pet care needs handled with Hallie at the helm.”
Katelyn G.
“When I first met Katelyn she was taking care of Harry, her lovely black lab who was diagnosed with late stage cancer shortly after we met. Her commitment to Harry's care and the consistent attention she provided to him reflect the responsibility and love that any pet owner would want to see when having someone watch their pet. Katelyn is very conscious of what an animal is feeling and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable, entertained, happy, well-fed, and safe. If you are considering having Katelyn watch your pet, know that she is amazing and the best pet caregiver I have met!”
Meira D.

Trinity J.
“Trinity has a connection with all animals almost instantly, in fact a bit bull terrier mix who had previously bitten a stranger met her for the first time, lunged at her, and while in the air with the dogs mouth wide open suddenly changed its mind and melted and acted like She had grown up with the dog. This is one of many stories about aggressive animals doing no harm and receiving no harm from her. She’s currently training an 8 year old stubborn Aussie mix new tricks almost monthly. If it’s an animal she can train it. Her positive reinforcement goes extremely well. She’s raised many animals including 5 flocks of chickens, reptiles, hedgehogs, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and her own siblings! As well as the rest of the zoo. Point is, she loves animals and they love her so if you’d place your animal in her care it will come home exercised and enriched. That’s how I want it. Look her up!”
Rhea M.
“Rhea has been wonderful! She has gone above and beyond for Honey, taking her to the dog park and teaching her basic commands. Honey is always happier on the days she sees Rhea. She is caring and trustworthy. Highly recommended.”
Taylor M.
“Taylor has an extreme love for dogs, which you can tell when she’s around them. She has her own 3 year old dog who is very well taken care of and loved. I know this would translate to any dog and I think she would be a wonderful pet caregiver!”
Cassandra "Cassie" O.
“Cassie was extremely punctual. Great communication leading up to the appointment and while on her walk with dogs Most importantly our dogs loved her! Will definitely use her again!”
mckenna p.
“McKenna loves pets and has always had dogs, cats, and fish as pets since she was born. She has already been responsible for walking a neighbor's dog in the past.”
