“Olivia is so wonderful! Not only did she come meet Mia and I quickly, she was willing to start the next day! Mia LOVES her and it makes me so happy to know she’s with someone who really cares about her. Even my somewhat timid cat immediately said hi and let her pet her. ❤️”

About: Hi there! I’m a college student home for the summer with over 6 years of experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a special bond with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have taken care of senior pets, and multiple dogs as well. I love making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’d be thrilled to spend my summer doing what I love, which is caring for your furry friend! I'm working on Monday and Wednesdays around 4pm so I am available anytime before then for drop-in visits or walks! Fridays, Sundays, and Tuesdays are typically days that will not work for now! I'm attentive to notes about proper care of your pet and their special needs, and I will follow through with any specific requirements you need.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since 2014 and have been actively caring for them since 2015. I love both cats and dogs and am very familiar with playtime, feeding, and bedtime routines. I have a flexible schedule at my full-time job. So I would have to compare my schedule to make sure I have your pets care as a priority. Depending on routine, I'm okay with walks, outdoor playtime and any other needs you have for your furry friend. I'm not allowed dogs in my home. However, before my move I had a dog run and a big yard where my dog at the time could just run and feel like a puppy again.

About: Experienced dog owner with 3 dogs. Two dogs are reactive/timid, one of which has allergies and pancreatic issues so I am familiar with pilling and dogs with special needs. I am currently a full time law student looking for something with a flexible schedule. I have availability in the morning, late afternoon, and evening as well as weekends. I think it’s important to be attentive to your animals needs, and also make sure to follow the rules of the house. Please let me know if you have any specific dos or donts for your pet!

“Repeating costumer! Have already booked for another walk. They are so sweet with my dogs. Give great feedback back and pictures. Always reliable. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and am keen to understanding their needs, behaviors and views. Personally, I enjoy building relationships with my own dogs based on trust, training and adventure. I understand that all dogs have different upbringings and different needs. They and their owners may have different expectations, which I always try to accommodate. I have experience house and pet sitting for multiple high-energy dogs. I am a very active person with a flexible schedule. Keeping pets exercised and mentally stimulated is always enjoyable. I have an SUV which can fit multiple dogs. I am able to visit homes multiple times a day, and I am also available to house sit for extended periods of time. Thank you for visiting my profile I’m currently working part time, and have a flexible schedule. I’m available most days with little advanced notice. Available tmes of day vary by day. I have a fenced in yard and child/ pet proof house. I pay close attention to the demeanor and behavior of the pet to provide adequate supervision.

“Sydney is very reliable and has great communication! My dog loves her. She is also super flexible about scheduling which is so appreciated!”

“Stephanie was great with our puppy! She updated us with how he did and was very attentive to his needs. We will continue to use her anytime!”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was young, pet-sitting for our neighbors. I have experience with all sorts of breeds of dogs of all ages and cats. I have experience with feeding, walking, training, and bathing dogs. I am currently working full-time throughout the weekdays. I would be available for daytime care on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am available throughout the week days after 5 pm. I can take your dogs out for walks around town, the dog park, or your neighborhood. If transporting in the car I have multiple ways to make sure they are safe including harnessing them, crating them, etc. I am also able to bathe the dog if desired.

About: My unique approach lies in understanding cats on an individual level from their quirky preferences to their distinct personalities. With a keen eye for feline nuances and a genuine commitment to creating a stress-free environment, I go beyond routine care. Your cat isn't just a client; they're family, and my personalized attention ensures they feel loved and content in their own whisker approved kingdom. As a committed pet sitter, I tailor my schedule to accommodate the specific needs of the pets under my care. Whether it's daily check-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I prioritize their well being. I prioritize a pet-friendly environment by ensuring a comfortable and safe space. Regular feeding schedules, engaging playtime, and cozy sleeping areas are incorporated. I'm attentive to their needs, whether it's administering medications, maintaining cleanliness, or providing ample affection. It's about creating a loving home where their well-being is the top priority.

About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel

“Great sitter will hire again!”

About: I have one year of pet-sitting experience, mostly for family and friends, along with volunteer work at animal shelters. As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve always had dogs and cats, often multiple at a time. Currently, I care for 4 dogs and 4 cats, though when pet-sitting, each pet will be separated for their comfort and safety. I’m passionate about providing a loving, safe environment for your pets! I’m currently Working part-time, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m mostly available on the weekends or anytime after 1 pm on weekdays! I have a fenced in back yard, outside of that a very large yard to play in. I have 4 dogs myself but they are gated off and will be on a different floor than any pet I am sitting. This will ensure all the pets are safe and comfortable. Your pet would be with me in our downstairs area with plenty of room to play inside and outside.

“She is amazing. So reliable and amazing with dogs!!!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!

About: I’ve always been around dogs and got my own dog 8 years ago. I have have always taken care of dogs in my neighborhood for long amount of time or for even just to feed or let out. I have a full time job Monday thru Thursday but I’m free on the weekends. I’m most likely will not be available for major holidays . I live in a new apartment building that has a small dog park. I usually take my dog on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.
