“Baylee is AMAZING! She was able to meet with me right away, and fit Winston in next day. She worked around my schedule and made me feel super comfortable. Listened to all my worries and made me feel so much better having a sitter. Winston absolutely loved her :) I wil definitely be re booking with her for any of my needs.”

About: I am a caring, outgoing college student seeking to provide for your dogs when you can’t. I have previous experience dog sitting and dog walking for family and friends. Pets have always been a part of my home. I will care and love for your dog as if it were my own. I have logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at humane society. I’m a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets, so if you leave your dog with me I will guarantee that we will be going on runs or even outside, rain or shine. If you are worried about your dog not getting enough love or attention under my care I promise that you could not be more wrong, I’ve got so much love to give!

I am available through the end of the summer. Until then my schedule can be very flexible. After that I will only be available on weekends. I like to respect the animals space and not be disrespectful to a stranger in their space. Some animals can be more anxious or have certain needs of care that I’m happy to provide.

About: My name is Meagan and I have loved animals from the beginning of time. I have a rottweiler named Karl and a pit mix named Roman, so big dogs don't seem to phase me. I am in the process of getting my animal science degree from Ellsworth Community College with dreams of vet school in the future. I have a background of dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cattle and equine. I have watched family friends dogs for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to animals from other homes. I have never met an animal I didn't like and I'm not about to start now. I look forward to spending time with many more animals that will enter my life in the future.

About: I have 5+ years of dog experience from working at a service dog organization. I’m trained in dog handling and basic grooming(nails trims & bathing etc.) I am also certified in dog first aid and CPR. I have a Golden Retriever, who in the last year went blind due to illness. So, I would be able to assist dogs that may have the same needs. I do work full-time, but I am off Sunday and Monday. Those days I am very flexible with my schedule. My availability throughout the week is 7:30am-10:30am on Tuesdays and 12-1pm & 4:15- 9pm Wednesday through Saturday I think that building a bond with your pet would be first priority! I think this, because I want them to be able to trust me.

I am a full time graduate college student and looking for a part-time job. Pet sitting works well with my schedule as it changes every semester. I make sure I obtain as much information from the owner beforehand and do meet and greets to ensure safety for when I care for their pets.
