“Megan is an amazing caregiver! She provided a safe, fun environment, and my dog was clearly excited to see her every day. Megan has a lovely home and a sweet and friendly family. She was also endlessly flexible and accommodating to my weird schedule. I would absolutely go to her again anytime I have the dog with me in the area. Thank you, Megan!”


“We have used Jessica’s services several times now and our lab Hazel absolutely loves her! I feel so comfortable knowing Hazel is well taken care of in Jessica’s home. She takes her for walks, and engages with her and Hazel always comes home in a great mood and can’t wait to see Jessica when we pull in her driveway at drop off! Jessica always sends pictures and updates throughout the day which is so thoughtful. She really cares about you and your dog and it shows. She’s the best!! I recommend her to everyone. :)”


“I felt that Alex took care of our puppy like it was her own. He was tuckered out at the end of the day and got to meet other farm animals, which was great! It’s a great opportunity for us to socialize our puppy, in a safe environment. Definitely will continue bringing our pup to Alex!”


About: I had pets all through childhood and now I've got 4 dogs and 8 indoor cats plus some chickens and ducks. We also have 2 children who adore animals. My skills with pets is heating what they are saying and getting on their level, or giving them space If needed. I am on short term disability due to medical issues of the autoimmune variety so I am home all the time! I can let dogs out when needed and play with cats. I have lots of availability. I have a fenced in backyard for the dogs (6 foot high wire fence), crates, kennels, and rooms that can be shut off from the house, etc if necessary.

About: People say I am an animal whisper. Specifically pets. However, I don’t consider myself a whisperer. I call it RESPECT. I treat any animal like it’s my own (I have 5) and I get on the same level with the furry friend (both literally and intellectually). And yes, people may think I’m weird because I talk to the animals out loud but I believe animals who are living organisms (like people) get RESPECT! I currently work part-time. But that won’t stop me. I have 4 days off usually through out the week. Depending on my schedule I’m going to provide services on my days off of my part time job. If a time will not work for both you and me then I will make a priority to try and arrange a time to provide a service as soon as possible. I will walk your furry companions as long as you would like. If it’s really hot out no matter if it’s a short or long walk, I can bring a container and a thing of water as well as during the walk. I will provide rest breaks in the shade. Pet sitting I will play with them, make sure there food is always available (clients preference) and if they need to go out I’ll be happy to take them out.

“Brandon took excellent care of our pup. In the days leading up to our appointment he confirmed with us and confirmed our expectations with great forethought. He was at our meet up location early and waiting outside for us on our return. We received a text and picture update during the time he had her. He had an easy way with her and she seemed comfortable with him right away.”


“Can't recommend Erin enough—we felt like we were leaving Friday with an old friend! She responded to us instantly and was able to fit Friday into her schedule last minute. She went above and beyond to make sure that Friday was comfortable and well taken care of during the day. To top it off, we received so many fantastic photographs. We will definitely be reaching out again once we are back in Waterville. You can't go wrong with Erin and her friendly pack of dogs!”


“Great communication beforehand and through the day, and then a delightful summary of the day when we picked Tessa up. We were especially grateful for Ilsa's willingness to keep Tessa into the evening so we could have dinner with relatives some distance away.”
