House Sitting in Buckfield

About: Hii!! I’m a patient, caring sitter with 3 years of experience of caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled at giving medications, calming anxious pets, and provided the attention your furry baby needs. I’m happy to send frequent updates to keep you at ease, treating your pet with all the love and care they deserve. I am currently looking for some time to spend with pets when I am not working. I have a passion to be with animals and it brightens my day to help someone and spend time with a cute furry pet. I love to be active and create an environment that the pets can thrive and be loved. I have free time throughout the week to tend to their needs and get them out of the house or play with them to get their jitters out. For dogs, I love to play with them and go for walks or runs so they can go explore. For cats, I make sure their environment is clean and give them constant snuggles and comfort.

“Kathleen is an incredible dog sitter! She is reliable, communicative and really cares about your pets! I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: My experience includes puppy training and group integration, command training, end of life palliative care, medicine administration, grooming, and lots of recreation/enrichment/engagement!

I follow set instructions laid down by the owners, any preferences or quirks of individual pets will be accommodated for your pets' and your family comfort.

About: Love for the outdoors, trustworthy, responsible I do work a full-time job, so I'm mostly looking to drop in, feed, give love, and walk your pups when needed. Depending on the time of the day or the day or the week, I can be flexible. Feel free to ask me! Calm by nature and love all animals Live close to wooded walking trails and would be happy to take your dog. Also have a decent sized yard for room to play. We have a dog who is a very easy going dog and loves to play. We have a cat as well and does well with our dog but is usually to herself when guests come over. Will provide updates with pictures!! I want you to be as comfortable as possible to be away from your fur babes. Looking forward to serving your dog's needs! I work full time Monday through Friday 8am-4pm. I can be available after work or the weekends! I’d love to be your go-to person for those times. I would always have my eyes on and provide outside trips as often as necessary.

“Ievet was very good with our fur babies. She sent pictures or videos of them every day we were away. We came back to a clean house. We would get Ievet again,”

“Rhonda was so kind and provided detailed information on how my elderly dog was doing while I was away. Her communication allowed me peace of mind that my dog was well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her, she took excellent care of my dog and even got her to eat her meds which she typically refuses to do’”

Therese L.

“Jillian was great! She came over to meet our fur baby a couple days before she was set to stay with him overnight. She got down on the floor and was playing with him and he was so excited! She sent us pictures throughout our trip so we could see how he was doing. Will definitely ask her to come back in the future!”

Holly P.

“Lauren is professional and reliable! She is sensitive to all of our pets needs and took great care of them for 5 days while we were out of town!! I loved getting pictures from her showing our pets. We will definitely be scheduling pet sitting and house sitting with Lauren again!”

“We had such a great experience with Emily! Taking care of three animals is no small task, but she handled everything with so much care, attention, and professionalism. From the start, communication was excellent — we always felt informed and reassured while we were away. It was clear our pets were not only well taken care of, but genuinely cared for. Each of them has their own personality and needs, and Emily took the time to understand and meet all of them. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-kept home, which says everything. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I have always had a dog growing up. Currently have a two-year-old pup named Anna K. I also house sit for a friend our mine down the road every now and then. I can be very flexible making myself available. If you can, a couple days notice would be better. But if not, you can still ask! Have tried multiple training techniques with all the dogs we have had, electric fence, leash, a tie-out cable, and some we eventually let out on their own when they are ready. No small objects around, especially as a puppy, try not to feed them anything but their required food.

About: I have worked at a Veterinary Hospital for about 5 years, working to keep their experience as comfortable as possible, along with growing up with cats, dogs, and farm animals.I do work another job so for house/dog sitting I would be getting to the location usually between 6:30-7ish depending on location, so keep this in mind when considering booking me While I work full time my schedule is set so there will not be likely to have unexpected changes giving your animals a good structure to work with I can come to your location to let your dogs out/take them for a walk, as well as feed them and get in playtime while keeping them in a space they feel comfortable.

About: Experience with raising and training puppies, deaf dogs and high drive hearding dogs. I Know lots of brain teasers for mental stimulation. From walks, hikes and playing to training and games, I love spending my free time with my four legged friends. Weekends i am free when not taking care or spending quality time with my own pup. I like morning playtimes and long trail or town walks. Always respect the owners wishes for their pet and any restrictions or limitations the dog might have. Having a fearful pup I understand the need to keep environments calm!

“Mac was in the absolute best hands with AnnaJulia and Raphael. I truly couldn’t have asked for better communication during my time away. I received consistent updates, great photos, and so much reassurance that my guy was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and loving life. It was clear he felt completely comfortable and at ease the entire time. After experiencing such a high level of care with a personal touch I can’t imagine trusting anyone else to watch Mac in the future.”

“Haley was awesome! She took care of our puppy and cat for a week. They were both so happy! She gave them so much attention and kept us informed while we were away. When we came home the house was spotless! Our pets were relaxed and you could tell she spent a great deal of time with them to keep them entertained. We will definitely hire Haley again!”

Tonja A.

“Lauren was an absolute pleasure. She gave my sweet girl lots of loving, adventures and snuggles. She left the house in great condition. I highly recommend her for all your pet needs!”

About: Growing up, I always wanted to have a dog as a pet - I was gifted a stuffed animal dog at a few days old and was lovingly referred to as "Dog Dog". As I grew up, most animals were in reference to dogs, for example, when I saw dear in my backyard, regardless of how much my parents tried to reteach me, I called them "Dear Dogs". When I was 11, my family adopted a dog (FINALLY), as a young puppy, and between my mom and I primarily, we trained and raised him to be our own, fun loving, laidback, dream dog. Whether it be high school, college, or as an adult, I have always found myself being drawn to animal care as more of a passion than a job - it fills my cup and brings me a lot of joy. Pet care has been a large part of not only my nannying experience of 3 years and babysitting, but also a way to help me pay for graduate school. I do over-nights, longer term stays, walks, and anything in between. For the last 6 years, I have lived with roommates that have both dogs and cats, who I have treated and cared for like my own pet. Additionally, I have experience fostering dogs, pet sitting multiple animals at once, as well as have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and needs (medical pills, drops, chemo, and wide range of anxiety levels). Overall, I have taken care of a wide range of animals of all ages, from puppies who are young and rambunctious, to older dogs and cats that need special care and attention. The only reason I don't currently have a dog of my own is due to a busy work schedule myself (I am a college rowing coach in the area for a team of 55 student-athletes) and I don't feel it would be fair to have a pet I could not give all of myself to. So, I am drawn and dedicated to helping care for other's pets as a way to fill that part of my void and make extra income. As a collegiate rowing coach, my schedule ebbs and flows depending on the time of year or time of day, but my day typically starts at 6:30am, with some flexibility in the day (if it is planned out in advance) and more availability in the evenings for pet care during the week. On the weekends, when I am not traveling for competition, I am very available and flexible. Because of my own experience with having pets in my home, whether they are officially mine or not, I take the love and care it takes to make a pet the happiest it can be, very seriously. Due to the fact that I wish I could afford to have my own pet, every pet I take care of receives the same level of care I would provide as if it were my own. I would want the same id someone was caring for a pet of mine.

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.

About: I am a big time dog lover! I work from home and am able to be here with the pets all day and take them out at least every 2 hours or as needed. I have a big house with a decent sized yard (NOT fenced). I'd love a few more companions hanging out with me and my dog, Lola! There aren't a lot of pet sitting options in this area so here I am making it an option :) Please come check me out! I work from home so i am here all day with the pets and able to tend to them as needed. i get an hour break for lunch and thats usually when i take my dog out to play/walk. I am available for day time pet sitting during the week. If needed me on a weekend we can most likely work something out-case by case basis-but it wasn't something i wanted to promote on my profile.

About: I am a flexible working professional. Most of my family members have either a dog or a cat that I have taken care of for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs no matter the size or breed. I am a previous collegiate student-athlete and am still very active, so playing with your pets and taking them for walks is right up my ally. I am happy to help with house sitting, dropping by, or taking them for a walk. I look forward to helping you out with your care needs for your pets and spending time with them. I am currently in the off-season of my full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. I will need to travel some weekends for work, but besides that I am flexible during the week and on weekends. My priority is to respect a client's home and provide the best care for their animals. I create an atmosphere built on trust and dependability.

“Richard was extremely patient with my rescue, when Richard arrived she decided she didn't like him. My other dog joined in. After some treats and patience on Richard's part, they warmed up and went out for him!”
