House Sitting Boothbay Harbor

“Stephanie did a great job with Luca, and they bonded after a day or two. She sent me pictures of him while I was gone, and even washed all the linens she used. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Avery was awesome with my dog, Ozzy. He was also able to graciously accommodate a schedule change. He took great care of the house as well as our dog.”

Kimberly D.

“Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!”

About: I’m more than just a sitter — I’m someone who’s dedicated my life to understanding and caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs, and my passion for their well-being has only deepened over the years. I’ve worked hands-on in both doggy daycares and animal care facilities, where I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — as well as other animals. I’ve also personally trained my own dog to become a service dog, which has given me deep insight into canine behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m currently pursuing certification as a professional dog trainer and working toward a bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior — so I bring both real-world experience and science-backed knowledge to every walk and visit. Whether it’s puppies needing structure, seniors needing gentle care, or high-energy dogs that need a good workout, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, respect, and consistency. Right now, I have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s care. I'm currently in between jobs, so I’m flexible and able to accommodate last-minute bookings, daily walks, and extended stays. Even when I’m busy, I always make time for my own dog — caring for animals is just a natural part of my routine. Once I’m working part-time, pet care will still be a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll continue to provide consistent, loving care with reliability you can count on. In My Home: I offer a safe, spacious, and fun environment for your pup! I have a large home with a secure, designated dog run for added safety. Your dog will also have a built-in playmate — my own well-trained and friendly dog, who’s great at matching energy levels and knows when to give other dogs space. It’s a great setup for high-energy dogs who love to play, but also calm enough for dogs who just want to relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as you leave them, and I always treat your space with respect. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adjust to your pet’s needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

“We could not ask for a better person to take care of our pups! Emily is so attentive to our dogs needs and takes amazing care of them and our home! We are extremely grateful for her!”

“Taryn was great. she took the time to come over and meet our dogs ahead of time and get to know them and on the night she dog sat for us things went very well and the dogs really took to her. I love her enthusiasm and her love for animals and would definitely use her again should the need arise. Very trustworthy and reliable”

Annie H.

“Hannah is in a class all by herself. Nurturing, reliable, accommodating are all words that I’d use to describe Hannah. I was in a bind to find someone that meshed well with my dog Maisie and cat Zooey-and Hannah came through with flying colors! Her communication was stellar, attention to detail applaudable and kind spirit soothed both my anxious dog and me while I was away. I recommend Hannah without hesitation.”

Beth R.

“My dog absolutely loved her ! She was great with the cats too . A+ rating ! I would recommend to anyone looking !”

Dan R.

“Daniel was very responsive and communicative, and took excellent care of my pets while I was away. I'd happily reach out again for future pet sitting jobs.”

About: We each have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. We truly love animals and enjoy giving them dependable, loving care while your away! We both have flexible schedules, so pet care fits easily into our daily routine. We’re home most of the day, which allows us to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention. We’re able to follow each pet’s normal routine and keep things as consistent as possible. We take safety very seriously. We follow all instructions, keep a secure environment, and make sure pets are always supervised, especially on walks or outdoors. We respect our clients’ homes and routines, and we keep owners updated so they can trust their pet is in good hands.

“Christi was a terrific house/pet sitter for us. She sent daily updates of activities and pictures of our cat, Lucy, and young golden retriever, Pepper. Pepper is a bit of a handful and Christi spent a lot of time with her on walks, car rides and clicker training. We really appreciated her efforts. The daily communications reassured us that our pets were in good hands. It was nice to see how Lucy snuggled right up to her. We were greeted by happy pets on our return and a tidy house. We highly recommend Christi for a pet sitter.”

“This was our first time having Natalie house sit with our two dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Natalie communicated with us the entire time and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of the dogs the same way we would. She also stopped by to check on them later in the day since our flight came in late. We came home to two happy pups and a very clean house. Thank you, Natalie! We’ll definitely book again :)”

“Lauren was an amazing and took very good care of our dog and home. We had a heck of a time coming home from vacation because our flights were delayed for 3 days due to almost 2 feet of snow and extremely cold temperatures that rolled in the night before we were due to fly home. She was so kind, so understanding. The one and only thing we were not worried about was Teddy and our home. I cannot say enough about how comfortable we were having Lauren here. Probably one of the only vacations i have been on in YEARS that i did not worry about my baby and that is huge ! 10 stars from me... Thank you, Lauren.”

Cindy L.

“Molly thank you for taking good care of Teddy while we were away. I am sorry we did not get a chance to debrief with you upon returning. That said I would have liked to know about some of the things that went on in our home while we were away, for instance where there any pee or poop incidents inside the home either by our dog or yours and what is the nature of the stains left on our rugs and furniture. Just knowing that will help with the cleanup effort. If you can fill in the blanks there, that would be very helpful. Thank you.”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for several years. I'm comfortable and capable of taking care of pets with medical needs including but not limited to insulin. I started fostering cats, kittens, pregnant cats, puppies, and dogs for Midcoast Humane in 2020. I currently work full time as a teacher meaning early mornings and late afternoons free. I also have a comfortable amazing amount of time off with school vacations and summer vacation. During the work week I can be available for early morning walks and afternoons after 3:30. I can also stay with your pet overnight while still working and or have your pet stay in our home. I live in a very peaceful and safe area of Boothbay with very little traffic. We have an unfenced yard with an aerial dog run. We have two older children ages 11 and 13. We also have one female cat age 10 and one small terrier mix age 1 male, both animals have been fixed. Our pets are family and yours will be as well. Lots of cuddles and comfy spaces as well as walks and play.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was very young. I’ve been officially working in pet sitting for five years. Animals usually love me, and I’m willing to be as pateint as needed for the ones who are more shy and may take longer to warm up. I move at there speed. I also make sure that your house stays in the same condition you left it in. Maybe even cleaner lol. There’s no need for you to come home to a messy house after a much needed vacation. Leave the stress to me. This has become my full time job as well while I begin to build my writing career. So I am available for you whenever you may need me. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accommodate your needs. I would love to have a meeting where we go over all your expectations and needs, every person is unique in how they care for there pet. I aim to make this process as easy as possible. I’ll bring a note pad and you tell me all the details of there regiment. I will follow them to a T and give you live updates on your little friends whenever you need!!

About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.
