“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”
“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”
“We used to leave Rigby with the same pet sitter for many years, upon their closing we had yet to find a reliable pet sitter other than family and friends. We saw Krista's reviews and decided to try it out for a weekend. I am so glad we did, Krista cared for Rigby in her home just how we were used to! I will definitely be using her services in the future!”
“Jaclyn took wonderful care of my two dogs while we were visiting Acadia. She was incredibly attentive and sent lots of pictures. Highly recommend!!”
About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request this summer has been from folks on visiting who would like me to day sit at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. This summer I am taking a sabbatical to my career job which means more hiking, walks and freedom to spend time with your pet- with flexible scheduling :) While my home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence, pets are never left unattended in the area. Happy to board with your routine in mind in terms of crating or free range of our home and total pampering. Pet sitting at your home is welcome too!
“Chris was amazing! We were passing through town with our dog and wanted to see the National Parks, and so we needed a place to drop him off for a few days. Chris met us at our hotel and sat with us to learn all about Hugsy’s routine, then took pictures throughout the stay so that we could see Hugsy firsthand. Thank you for taking such good care of our dog, Chris - you really put us at ease!”

“Charlotte was more than amazing watching our dog, Dakota. She was extremely accommodating for us, and had great availability too! She was available the next day after contacting her for a last minute pet sitting. She came with so much for Dakota to do, and brought her on multiple walks. Dakota was so happy in her care and nice and tired after hehe. Thank you Charlotte for caring for Dakota like one of your own!!! We appreciate what you did and every detail of your pet sitting with her. If you have Charlotte care for your pet, you can absolutely ensure that your pet will be well taken care of AND loved.”
