Pet Sitting in Bar Harbor

“Ashley was amazing! She took care of our cat while we were across the country for ten days. He usually isn’t friendly with people right away, but came out to greet her and say hello. She made sure his space was clean (food dishes and litter box area) and that he got pats, treats, and attention. Ashley also grabbed our mail and made sure our house was tidy. She sent lots of pictures, was very attentive and a great communicator. I’d definitely recommend!”

“Kirk is amazing! He took great care of my dogs, Zack and Kaia while we were gone for the day. He sent lots of updates and gave them plenty of time to play and get their energy out! They were happy and content when we got home. Kirk is great with strong dogs and I highly recommend him! I’m very thankful that we found a local sitter to handle our crazy kids!”

“Julia took very well care of our cats! This was our first time using the Rover app, and it can be difficult welcoming a stranger into your home. Julia was very welcoming and kind that it made us comfortable. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks and she was responsive and detailed in her visits. We will definitely use Julia in the future for any cat sitting needs!”

About: I have experience in taking care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old, including animals that are not my own. I have basic dog training skills along with emergency vet medicine skills from working at a Veterinary ER. I have worked with all ages of dogs and cats in sick and in health. I also can provide basic grooming services, bathing, trims, teeth brushing, and nail trimming. I have experience and training with fractious and aggressive animals and know how handle them safely do no one gets hurt. I am a college student and have classes through out the week. However my class schedule and weekends are quite open and I would love to fill that time caring for your pet/s! I always approach an animal calmly and patiently allowing them to come to terms with me being in their space. I base the time I walk a dog on owners request and the animals tolerance. If the dog looks in distress after 20 minutes I’ll turn back and head home, occasionally stopping so they can catch their breath or be carried if small. If I’m just stopping in to let a dog out I make sure to have them on leash as is state law until entering a fenced area. If requested by the owner or the dog is interested I’ll play with the animal to get in exercise before they have to go inside. For both cats and dogs, I ensure that enough water is accessible and if they need to be fed they have been. For cats if requested by the owner or if it is an extended sitting or stay I will care for the litter box. As an owner of a cat myself I always check once a week to make sure there has been both fecal and urine output from an animal. This is something I can do on request for owners as well. Cats are masters of disguise when it comes to their health. I have worked hard to learn subtle ques and behaviors from cats to help identify a problem. Unfortunately I do not take requests to let a cat outside unless they have been trained on a leash. After working at a veterinary ER and a wildlife center I have decided that I am unwilling to allow a cat outside unleashed and unsupervised. Cats like dogs also require different forms of enrichment and interaction. If your cat/s are playful and social I can provide active enrichment. I also understand that for some cats strangers are not who they wish to interact with. The animals well being is my first priority and what I focus on when caring for them.

About: I am an avid cat lover and owner my entire life. I currently have two of my own cats and look after friends animals when needed. After just completing the entire Appalchian trail ibwas away from my cats for 6 months. Pursuing a life dream was wonderful but devastating to be away from my babies for so long. Now that I am home, they are one of my biggest priorities and the highlight of my days. I'd love to get to know and love your pets as well! I am currently self employed and have the ability to work from home and make my own schedule. This leaves my availability for pet care pretty flexible! I think each family has their own way of operating. What works best for my cats may not work for yours or even for dogs. I will follow all given instructions and guidance to make the experience the most comfortable for your pets.

“Gina was wonderful to work with. She was super responsive while setting up visits, and gave lots of love to our kitties while we were away. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have had a dog for 14 years and a cat for 9 years, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I take pride in giving each animal the same level of love and attention I give my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the day but have plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends to dedicate to pets. My schedule allows me to give them lots of attention after work for walks, playtime, and cuddles, as well as focused care throughout the weekend. I make sure each pet’s needs fit naturally into my routine so they always get consistent love, care, and companionship. I care for dogs and cats as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and litter care, and I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality. Since I have cats at home, I can only host dogs who are calm and friendly with feline friends. My goal is to keep everyone happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Phenomenal experience with Charlotte!!! My puppos had the best day with her visits. Having the updates and photos made me so happy. She was attentive and truly went above and beyond with the care of my dogs. Thrilled to have connected with her and cannot wait to use her again!! 🥰 Thank you again for going above and beyond!”

“Krista is a godsend! She is 100% reliable and responsible. She communicated with me daily and was instrumental in working to help with a boiler issue. Truly above and beyond! My cats and home were so well cared for. If I could give more stars, I would. I’d book with Krista again in a heartbeat!”

“Kelly was a wonderful help taking care of our senior girl while we went on a tour. She came over the day before to meet our dog and even offered suggestions on local places.”

About: I've had dogs most of my life. I've walked dogs I've watched friends dogs. I now have my first reactive dog of my lifetime so I'm open to walking other reactive dogs. I can follow protocols you have in place and we can go to mostly remote areas. I'm open to it reach out. My schedule is pretty flexible right now since we're not in the summer season. I'm looking to fill my time with dog walking and sitting thanks:) I can come to your house and take your dog on walks or runs. I have a van so if crating is something your dog needs to travel I can offer that.

“Lindsey was wonderful! She kept our kitty safe and fed and happy. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, our son looked forward to seeing pictures of Sammy every day. Thank you so much Lindsey ❤️”
