“Lily provided excellent care for our cat Hobson. Our directions were followed completely and we enjoyed the daily photos. Hobson is in excellent condition after this booking. We are very grateful.”
“Justin and Eva were great. They showed up on time, cleaned up more than we were expecting and gave us plenty of updates on our cats. Our shy cat even started staying in the same room while they were there which is huge. I highly recommend them.”
About: Hi there! I am Emily and I am 29 years old and I have had animals my entire life! I have been around all types of animals from dogs and cats to horses and pigs! I began professionally dog watching about 14 years ago and fell in love with it. I have experience with many special diets, supplements and any other health issues. I can be active with the dogs or have a snuggle day with lots of belly rubs! Let me take care of your animals and become your life-long trusted animal sitter for all of your needs! I am located in the greater Bangor area but can travel further for house sitting bookings. I work 12 hour shifts on the weekends (Fri-Sun) so I am available Monday-Thursday 24/7. I can sometimes provide weekend care as my schedule and pet’s needs allow for it. Safety is my top priority. I abide by parent’s rules and can crate dogs, if crate trained. Dogs will remained leashed and collared when outside of fenced areas. Parental rules/guidance always prioritized.
“Ellie is awesome! She stayed at our home with our three cats. She befriended our cranky old man & took excellent care of our boys. Ellie kept in contact with photos & updates of the boys. I greatly appreciate her care & support allowing me to feel comfortable while traveling. I will most definitely plan any future trip around Ellie’s availability to look after our guys!”
About: I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention! I’ll take your dog for walks to help burn off any excess energy and ensure they have a chance to go potty. I’ll also provide the right amount of food to keep your dog healthy and happy. Whenever I can, I love to play fetch or have a fun race with dogs—keeping them engaged and active! For cats, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment, making sure they’re fed, hydrated, and get some playtime or cuddles if they’re in the mood. I understand that cats can be more independent, so I respect their space while ensuring they feel safe and loved. I understand how important it is to treat pets with love and care. As a pet owner myself, I always strive to give my dog the best, and I would do the same for yours. I’ll make sure they feel right at home with plenty of affection and attention. I have flexible availability and am excited to get to know your pets. I truly enjoy meeting new animals and giving them the care and love they deserve. I hope I can be a great fit for your pet! Pet care fits into my routine easily because I’m flexible with my schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or just some playtime, I make sure to prioritize pets and give them the attention they need whenever I’m caring for them When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions they provide to ensure their pet feels comfortable and safe. For walks, I stick to their usual routes and routines. For feeding, I ensure I’m giving the right portions at the right times. I also provide plenty of attention—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company—while respecting their space. I clean up after them, whether that’s cleaning their feeding area or ensuring their potty spots are tidy. Ultimately, I treat each pet as I would my own, making sure they feel loved and well-cared-for.
About: Hi! My name is Madeline. I am a passionate animal person and have been caring for animals pretty much my entire life. I've personally owned dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hamsters and cared for ferrets, snakes, and a variety of livestock/farm animals. I label myself as a true animal lover and pride myself on being able to connect with animals on a special level. I have been a professional sitter/dog walker for over 8 years now, and am ready to take on more clients. I do have a small home so I can only take 1-2 bookings at a time. I always aim to have a respectful relationship with owners and try to be as honest and helpful as possible! I have many, many references available. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am super flexible and always willing to hear your needs and see what we can make work, especially with the busy-ness that is the holidays. So feel free to reach out and I’ll see how I can best accommodate you and your pets 🙂 I do work a full time job M-F, but from home with lots of flexibility. My schedule is designed to be flexible and meet multiple pet owners needs. Let me know what your fur baby needs and we’ll get it arranged. I have a small cat who prefers to keep to herself. My home is dog proof and although I don’t have a fenced yard but I have wonderful walking areas in my community so your pet will end up with more walk time and socialization than just staying in a yard.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I've been involved in the training of 5 puppies, and have a lot of experience caring for larger breeds, particularly active and playful doggos. I have a cat of my own whom I love dearly, and love to make new furry friends. My past experience includes volunteering at a local boarding kennel, caring for senior dogs and administering medication, taking active pups on fun activities like swimming or hiking, and being a live in sitter during week-long getaways. Whether you need someone to stop in and check on your pup or someone to give your companion love and affection while you're away, I'm happy to help! I currently am taking one summer class and am working part-time jobs, so I have time particularly during the morning/midday and on weekends free to take care of your pets. I have a car cover for the backseat of my car, so any adventures we take I am prepared for. I like to earn pet's trust, so letting them come to me and show me what their comfortable with is key.
About: I have had pets since I was a little girl, I had 2 cats as a child and we rescued our dog when I was 12. He has since proven himself the love of my life. I am currently working part-time with an ever-changing schedule, but I have plenty of time (especially on weekends) to walk and care for your pets! I go for a hike averaging around 4 miles every other day, and I would be more than happy to bring your pup with me and get that energy out! While I can’t bring your dog to my house, I am more than capable of keeping them happy and healthy and well-exercised when needed. I also have experience with dogs with allergies and I am very detail-oriented!
About: Hi, I'm Greta, and I'm thrilled to offer my pet-sitting services! As a lifelong animal lover, I've always felt a special connection with our furry, friends. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to horses. This early exposure taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and responsible care. I believe that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention. Whether it's a playful pup who needs plenty of exercise or a timid kitty who prefers gentle cuddles, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your beloved companions. I'm experienced in feeding, walking, administering medication, and, most importantly, showering pets with love and affection. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can stay connected and worry-free while you're away. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and create a positive and memorable experience for everyone!" My schedule tends to stay pretty open. I work at a cafe, but my shifts are usually just 4-7 hours so I can provide full care outside of that time. I care for pets according to whatever their needs are. I will happily follow any instructions given to me, whether the pet needs special medication or specific care, I am open to most.
About: I majored at the University of Maine in animal and veterinarian sciences with a Prevet concentration. I have had the honor to work in vet offices, in zoos and on farms. So I have been around many different types of animals in multiple ways. I believe that all animals are the most selfless, caring beings and truly are a man’s best friend. Everyone I know, refers to me as an animal lover and because of the veterinarian side, I will always make sure to keep an eye out on your animals health as well. I have plenty of time to be attentive and spend with your animal :). I even included the days where I can housesit full-time preferably, which would be over the weekend and into Monday. But obviously, there can always be exceptions, all I ask is for a check in/heads up. For housesitting, I will obviously follow any guidelines you leave me, whether that be walking your animal on a leash or some type of harness; or letting them out into a fenced in area. I will follow feeding guidelines and anything else that is a concern of yours.
