2. Christina P.


“Christina was a life saver today last minute booking. She has a big area for the pups to play and kept me update all day long Mia came home happy and healthy. Will definitely use her again!!”




3. Natalie R.

“My very anxious senior dog and my crazy 1 year old who never leave the house stayed with Natalie for the day while my family and I took a day trip. We had so many concerns”


4. Chelsea G.


“Chelsea has been watching my brand new pup for a couple of days while I am at work and when I come to pick him up he wants to stay and play! She has kept me updated throughout the day which I so appreciate!”


5. Sam P.

“Sam was great with little Mack the dachshund. We needed emergency sitting and Sam came through!”


6. Craig R.

“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”


7. Lindsay S.

“Lindsay was totally accommodating to our changing timeframe for Seven's care today. He clearly loves his time there. We literally have to drag him away '-) Thank you Lindsay !”


8. Molly P.

“Molly is so sweet and kind it made leaving our baby a little easier. She was so understanding with our timeline changes and open to do whatever we need. She sent pictures and let me ask a million questions and it was peace of mind. I would 10/10 recommend Molly!!”

About: Love animals! As my nest has emptied - my love of pets has grown! Available to care for your furry family members when you need to be away! More availability to board cats than shows on the calendar so we can talk if desired. Flexible with scheduling! Three full days off per week. Pets are already a part of my every day routine! Easily welcome yours to join the crew! I have a dog park in our community and also space in our home for your dog or cat if you are seeking boarding services. I love to walk too!


10. Colleen M.

“So great! Looks like the girls had some big off-leash adventures and were happy to play with Colleen’s dogs! They came home happy and tired. Thanks for taking good care of our 7 month old puppy as well as our older girl.”


11. Henry L.
“Henry absolutely loves animals, particularly dogs. He seems to innately understand their needs and feelings. He’s kind, patient when training them, and extremely responsible in their care, often going above and beyond what is asked of him. He’s affectionate and loves to have fun with dogs, particularly outside, in fields, on hikes in the woods and mountains, and playing in the water. I recommend Henry highly.”


12. Jaclyn S.

“Jaclyn is amazing! Sable went for daycare with the plan to get her comfortable for future boarding and it's great. Her home setting allows Sable to socialize but still get individualized attention.”


13. Jennifer S.

“Jennifer was amazing with Rocket. She played ball with him before we picked him up to tire him out for our long drive. She had a large enclosed yard and Rocket had a great time running around in the yard. Will definitely rebook her next time we’re in the area.”


14. Oksana L.

“Oksana was wonderful. My dog can be weary of strangers and he liked her immediately! He even went right into her house without me. She was gentle and kind and took Lou and another dog on a nice long walk at a park while we were enjoying the Botanical Gardens. She also sent photos. I definitely recommend Oksana!”


15. Paige G.
“Paige is a phenomenal house sitter and dog sitter. She stayed at my house for a week watching my dog, and I got sweet pictures and updates every day. She was communicative and always went the extra mile to make sure my dog was calm and well-loved. When I came back, my house was frankly cleaner than I left it—everything was in its place and I had a very happy dog on my hands. I would absolutely trust her with my home and pets again, and cannot recommend her highly enough.”


16. Kaily H.

“Kaily was flexible when I needed her last minute! Bentley came home absolutely exhausted from all the play time! Kaily made sure to send me pictures of Bent throughout the day to keep me in the loop about where they were going and what they were doing! 10/10 would recommend Kaily and would definitely use her again!”

About: ***New Note on Profile*** I recently welcomed a new addition to my family, an Austrailian Shepard puppy named Sapphire 🤗 she was born May 12th 2024. With her being my new best friend & fur baby, I am most interested in entertaining clients and bookings where she is welcome to come along with me. If this is not possible for you or your pets & home, please skip requesting me and pursue another sitter. Thank you! About me: I have been actively building my pet sitting network of beloved clients (2 legged & 4 legged) since 2020. These past 4+ years sparked the beginning of a dream come true I didn’t even know I had. From all the positive experiences, connections, and adventure I’ve had with animals during this time in my home state of Maine, the future is looking bright as my network and experience grows. My favorite part of this all by far is the growing connections and continuing relationships between me and my favorite pets and their owners. From weekly repeat dog walks to being families go to for overnights in their home or mine, I really love deepening connections with returning clients as well as meeting and forming special loving connections with new pets and their people as well! And, of course, the adventures, snuggles, hugs, kisses, toys, and treats make it all the more fun. 😊 As a person with a background in holistic energy work and the healing arts - yoga, reiki, herbalism, permaculture- I have a strong connection with the heart & soul of each animal, plant, person, and all of Nature. When it comes to pets, I recognize they are our allies and best friends, as well as often times our healers, teachers, and of course our beloved family. Since I was born and throughout my childhood into adulthood I have always had multiple pets in my home at any given time so I always love and am most comfortable with animals with me and around me. As an animal and plant person by Nature, I “speak their language” and make it a priority and joy to tune in with their needs whether just being together sharing space or enjoying exploring life together. When at home (mine or yours) I am quiet, peaceful, tidy and neat. I believe that being a strong loving presence wherever we are and improving the spaces we visit to leave them better than we I found it is one of our greatest purposes in Life. Your pets and home will be very well taken care of, at ease, and loved with me by the grace of God. I have somewhat of a green thumb (I have been studying, learning, and practicing year by year) and am an aspiring herb & food grower, forager, folk herbalist, and novice yet passionate baker. So, your plants and gardens can also be well cared with me with your instructions. I have some homestead and farm experience - horses, chickens, goats, gardens, and am willing to learn other livestock care as well. I also have also had experience caring for reptilian pets in the past and am open to snakes, birds, lizards, rodents, fish, you name it. If we agree it’s a good match and I’m taking care of your home, just tell me what you want & need taken care of and I’ll do whatever I can to make sure you come home to a happy and comfortable home, almost like you never left! Rover is fun for me because you never know who you’re going to meet! I am open to all kind and loving humans and animals. As long as you have good virtues, love life and all around you to the fullest, I’m sure it will be a good match and it will be an honor to support each other. I currently am nearly full time pet sitting and also work very part time as a co-manager of a coworking and event space in Bath, Maine. On any given day I can be found taking dogs on adventures in the midcoast area peppered in with 2-4 hour shifts a couple days a week at the coworking space managing daily operations and helping host events. When pet sitting in your home for your animal(s) I am typically available to accommodate your pet’s normal schedule, to spend time with them, drop in throughout the day for visits, or bring them along with me on adventures with other dogs throughout the day. I prefer bookings where your pets can be left home unattended for 2-4 increments to accommodate my part time work schedule. (5 hours ultimate max including commute time depending on your location from Bath for when I work 4 hour work events). In your home I will follow your instructions and duplicate however you care for your pet & home with the utmost care & respect. You tell me! I love going on walks, hikes, beach or dog park adventures, playing ball, frisbee, doing doggie playdates or custom adventures. I am as adventurous or relaxed as your pet needs me to be. Does your dog loves a walk on the beach or a fun hike? I know a spot! Jump in, let’s go! But if they’d rather stay home, take short strolls, play in the yard, and snuggle that’s great too. 😊

“Hannah took great care of our dog and we will definitely book again in the future. Thanks for the walks, toys and company. Arleigh had a great time!”


19. Haleigh T.
About: I have a 3 year old mini sheepadoo and my boyfriend’s dog who is a rescue from Tennessee, he’s a 11-13 year old German Shepherd/Rottie mix and they are the best dogs. I trained them to be off leash and they get along with most dogs. Mushu is a little shy at first but once he’s warmed up he is nothing but a cuddle bug!! Working from home is very beneficial when it comes to caring for pets. It is very convenient to take a break and take walks or stop in and play. Safety is the top priority with fun being a close second! Pet safety is so important and will range from client to client. I am flexible and willing to work with you.

“Annaliese was reliable and took great care of my pup! She woke up early to receive him and was punctual when I came to pick him up and read and followed all my notes!”
