“Erica was super responsive and treated our puppy dog like her own, we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again! From the first time she met our dog we could tell they would be fast friends. We feel so lucky!”
“Chloe was great - she sent very detailed messages and pics each day and the cats really seemed to like her. We came home and they acted like we hadn't even been gone (because Chloe took such good care of them). Chloe was lovely and we'd definitely use her again in future!”
“Lily provided excellent care for our cat Hobson. Our directions were followed completely and we enjoyed the daily photos. Hobson is in excellent condition after this booking. We are very grateful.”
“Glendon was absolutely amazing with my two fur-babies! My boy doesn't warm up quickly to people but I can tell by the video and picture Glendon sent that Copper was a huge fan too! Excellent communication, timely and very attentive to any requests/special needs of my pups! Highly recommend and will be using him again!”
About: I grew up with both dogs, cats and rabbits. I’ve cared for various other mammals throughout my life. I have experience with senior and sick animals as well. I house sat for many neighbors and their various pets over the years. I also have worked in animal clinics and pet laboratory environments as I originally intended on becoming a veterinarian. Working to become a wildlife conservationist currently. I currently work a very flexible job from home which takes up less than 20 hours a week so I have plenty time to spend with your pets. I have always loved all animals. I currently live with 3 cats our rental doesn’t allow dogs. I will have plenty time for pets, walks and playing outside in the safety and comfort of your pets home. I strive to make transitions for your pet as stress free as possible.
“Taylor H. was great! Our cat Max really liked her (and we did as well, of course). She took such great photos of him as well. Very reassuring for us, since we'd never left him alone before. We cannot recommend Taylor enough!”
“McKenna was a GREAT pet sitter. She was on time and did all the tasks asked and even filled the bird feeders. Best of all, Stormy was excited to see her each day for food and pets. Her photos were so appreciated and so well done. I really appreciated her daily updates.”
“Constance went WAY above and beyond for my fosters! She was patient and stayed over her time with Amelia who is a bit skiddish and reserved to help her get more comfortable. THEN!! Asked if she could help me pooper scoop!! I'm keeping her for all things dogs. Even offered her services at home with her dogs to help socialize my puppies!!! If there were 10 stars she would get them all.”
“Jessica was amazing! I am a new “dog mom,” to my 10 week old puppy! I reached out to Jessica to check on him during the day while I was at work. This was the first day he had been left alone since I picked him up at 8 weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to check on him! She had amazing communication throughout the entire day and was incredibly flexible when I needed to change some plans at the end of the day! I felt much better being at work with Jessica looking after him! She made the whole process easy and relieved a lot of stress and worry I had! Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life, and I currently have 3 of my own. I worked in veterinary emergency and critical care for 2 years and spent several months at a fear-free general practice before needing to take a step back from vetmed. I have 6 years of personal experience with dog training and behavior, and spent some time volunteering for a rescue on the administrative end. I am very knowledgeable on dog behavior/body language and I am comfortable working with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and breeds. Puppies, medical/behavioral needs pups, and seniors are my specialty! I am also RECOVER CPR certified. My schedule is wide open most days, and we are a very active family! We frequently go for hikes and spend time with our dogs in nature. My whole world revolves around animals and I love being able to experience the great outdoors with dogs. I use reward-based/force-free handling techniques with any dog I interact with. I try my hardest to set dogs up for success in my interactions with them - I am not afraid to spend as much time as needed to gain the trust of a fearful dog before attempting to interact directly. I am a strong believer in using body language, reward, and moving at the dog's pace to ensure dogs make good choices and have a positive experience every time they interact with me. I treat all pets I interact with as if they are my own!
“We are so impressed with Bailey! Great communication on time and such a great personality. We felt so comfortable in leaving her with our pets and home. Definitely would love to have her again”
“Alison did a fantastic job! She was reliable, loving, and communicative. It was easy for us to relax on vacation knowing she was taking care of our fur babies. The peace of mind this provided was priceless!”
About: I grew up on a farm which meant caring for all types of domestic and farm animals. I’ve cared for and trained horses since I was 9, I have owned reptiles and rodents and even cared for opossums lol! I’m currently on summer break from college and I’m available 7 days a week! I live in the Bangor area and I have reliable transportation. In client home only and my goal is to care for your pets the same as you do when your home… including call play, leash walking, etc…
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a child. Fish, lizards, snakes and dogs and cats. I've had a lot of experience with senior care. I'm currently working overnights on the weekends, leaving my day time availability flexible for your needs. I try to make time to get outside everyday and would love to have your pet join in on the fun! Your pet is in safe hands with consistent picture, video and text updates. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment for your fur family while you're away.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and am looking to get into pet sitting. I’m familiar with both small and large dog breeds and have never met a cat I don’t love! I am a college student so I have a relatively open schedule, especially during the summers. I don’t mind early wake ups or late nights! I do not offer sitting services in my own home, but am eager to care for your pets in their comfortable home environment. I will treat your pets as if they are my own and make sure they get the best care.
About: I have 30 years of experience in caring for my own dogs and boarding for friends and family. With flexible scheduling, I am able to be there for your pet(s) at all hours of the day and night so there is constant care while you are away. My family and I have worked with many kinds of pets including dogs, small rodents, rabbits, lizards, parakeets, and other birds such as outdoor ducks and chickens. My family even raised our own ducks! I am especially open to puppy care as I am patient and happy to work with house training and such. My patience for senior care is also extensive so I'm glad to work with your pets in their golden years as well. I am an artist who works from a home studio and I do not have any set hours. Because of this flexibility, I am available at all hours of the day and night in my own home for your pet. While I would prefer to sleep in my own house to be available for my family, I'm happy to make early morning or late evening visits to your home for your pet or have them stay with me where I can tend to them all night if necessary. My goal is to work out the best set up to make your pet comfortable. I leash pets at all times when outside with them in my yard and have a designated area for them for potty breaks. I also have crate options if you prefer crate training. For pets other than dogs, we keep them separated in a designated area depending on what type of pet it is and what their habitat requires (cage, crate, tank, etc). Visits to your home is entirely up to you! Whatever instructions and requests you have for that scenario is something we could plan out beforehand, and I can even send you daily updates.

He is always helpful to have with me on my visits and I know he will do a great job himself as well.”
Nicole D.
“I am more than happy to provide my testimonial in behalf of Nichole! You will not find a more caring and responsible pet owner anywhere! We met 6 or 7 years ago when I purchased some duck eggs from her “Half Acre Homestead”. At the time she had a dozen ducks (4 different types, times 3) that they were raising as a family enterprise. What a great way to educate her young daughters about animal husbandry! I was so impressed by that! Their own three dogs live an envious life. They are thoughtfully fed. They are included in numerous family activities and get along beautifully. This contentment is for certain in accordance with the loving vibe of Nichole’s family life. ❤️”
