1. Kelly A.
“Kelly is one of the most caring people I know! She cares for other people's pets as she would her own. She truly cares about animals and their well being. I would trust her to come in my home and care for my animals. She is the type of person to go above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy and taken care of. You can rest assured with your pets in her care, I do not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”
2. Christina P.
“Christina was very responsive to my initial request (especially important since we were in the position of booking last minute over a holiday weekend) and any follow-up questions. She provided daily updates and fabulous photos of my pup throughout his stay and made sure he had extra snuggles on his first night to help him adjust. I would definitely use Christina again!”
3. Natalie R.
“Our dog obviously had a good time. Natalie played with her, as did some cats and another dog. It was heaven for our dog. Yes, I'd recommend Natalie for sure!”
4. Alissa B.
“Alissa was so great! She took such a good care of our boy. She had a splash pad and took him for walks. Even doing a puzzle game with him which he loves. She also sent us the most wonderful pictures of him while he was there. She made home made treats. Our pup really enjoyed his time with her! Can’t praise her enough!”
5. Breanna P.
About: I have years of experience with caring for animals and love them all dearly! I am caring, patient, and understanding. I have a home with a very large back yard in a country setting, with plenty of space to play and find a good potty spot! I am willing to give baths, go for walks, host your pet at my own home, or care for your pet at your own home. I would love to get the chance to get to know you and your fur babies, please contact me if you are interested in any of my services. Thank you! I am currently going to school online, this makes my schedule very flexible for caring for your fur babies and their needs! I have open availability currently! I have 3 small friendly chihuahuas and a cat, they can be kept on a seperate floor if needed for comfortability, but they have never had trouble getting along with other pets!
6. Lindsay S.
“Lindsay is paws down the best! She took care of our Shih Tzu, Sasha, like she was family. We could see the love and kindness she poured into every moment with Sasha. It meant the world to us knowing our fur baby was in such good hands.❤️❤️”
7. Colleen M.
“I had no worries about my dog when I left her with Colleen. My dog is a little skittish with adults she doesn’t know but warmed up to Colleen easily. Lola had a blast with her and other dogs. So happy.”
8. Skyler N.
“Skyler recently took care of our dog, Rosie, while we were on vacation. It was the first time we were leaving Rosie and we were incredibly nervous. Skyler took extremely good care of Rosie and calmed all our nerves. She even sent us photos of Rosie while we were on vacation. Skyler was very understanding of Rosie’s dog reactivity and managed it well. I would highly recommend Skyler if you are looking for someone to lovingly care for your dog.”
9. Jordan W.
“Jordan was absolutely incredible for our 2 red pups! We were getting married and decided not to use our kennel due to kennel cough going around. Jordan watched, looked after and walked them happily. We received plenty of photos and it was clearly obvious they were very much comfortable being with her. Thanks for your help!”
10. Molly P.
“Molly and her family took great care of our three pups, especially taking them on plenty of walks. Communication was a breeze and they were flexible about pick-up and drop-off times.”
11. Terry & Sheree J.
“We have used many dog sitters in the long life of our old dog and this was one of the best we have ever had. I so appreciated how very thorough they were at the meet & greet obtaining all the pertinent info needed about my dog, with notepad in hand, above and beyond what I would have remembered to impart. So I knew right away she would be in very good hands. Top of the line in knowledge about dogs, home, neighborhood, fenced in yard and conscientiousness. Paisley had a great stay. We are always grateful to have a home away from home for our girl that leaves us worry free about her care. Terry & Sheree are very responsive, shared photos to us, they walked her and made her feel right at home. We highly recommend them for your pets but please leave room for us to go back. Thanks Terry & Sheree. Hope you don't get so busy you can't fit us. We will be back!”
12. Rose R.
“This was my dog-Sophie’s- first time away from family in her almost 2 years. She loved it. The large outdoor yard and Rose’s dogs made her feel welcome and a part of the pack. We would use Rose’s sitter services again for sure!”
13. Sam P.
“Sam was absolutely wonderful! We had to find someone last minute to watch our sweet Braxton for a week. We are from Alabama and travel a lot for our jobs. Sam was super quick to respond and offered to take care of Braxton with no hesitation! She has the sweetest kids who gave Braxton all the loves and cuddles he could ever want! We got updates all week and the cutest pictures of him! She really made our Brax feel at home and cared for! If we ever make it back to Maine, we will definitely reach back out to Sam!”
14. Audrey C.
“Audrey is warm, friendly, communicates very well and took great care to send updates and photos. I will definitely trust her with my pup again!”
15. Jifka M.
“Jifka took good care of our pup and sent lots of pictures and updates while we were gone for an out of state wedding. Her high fence kept our jumper in check and she was able to give him his medications without any problems.”
16. Kyle & Mariah H.
“Our pup had an amazing time! He seemed right at home and we had great communication throughout his stay. We would definitely reach out again if we need a sitter in the future!”
17. Kari M.
“This was my first time boarding my puppy somewhere else. We couldn’t be more happy with Kari and her husband. Both treated Rosie like their own and kept us updated with photos and activities. They were able to accommodate us last minute and have been super friendly through this whole experience. Thank you so much Kari and Brian!!”
18. Joyelle W.
“Joyelle is a terrific dog sitter! She’s responsible, responsive and caring. She understands dog behavior, which is helpful. As a good worker, she aims to please.”
19. Gabriella S.
“Gabriella is a very reliable young adult attending SCAD and LOVES dogs. She owns her own dog and takes extra special care of her dog Ollie including being responsible for annual check ups etc. She would take the extra steps and go above and beyond what you would expect from a dog walker, as she is more than that! She has done alot of dog babysitting as well as walking the past few years and is highly sought after to do this. I highly recommend Gabriella to help you with your dog's needs.”
20. Lindsay W.
