“Cat is always so amazing with our pups/kits. She is incredibly reliable and we always rebook for in home visits, if she’s available. Absolutely a trustworthy sitter!!”



“We are beyond thankful for Emily, taking care of our cat and dog for an extended holiday weekend! She was great with communication, updates, and was flexible with some additional sudden needs when our dog was sick right before Emily was scheduled to take care of her. She was great with administering all medications. We will definitely being using her again soon!!”


About: I began walking and offering dog washing services in my neighborhood at 10 years old. Since then, I have many years of experience walking, sitting, and boarding pets for clients in Maine. I have raised two cats of my own and childhood dogs. I am training to be a physician at LCRH in Somerset, KY. I am in my fourth year of medical school and training to be a physician and have ample time available to care and walk your pets. I can take social dogs on hikes and walks in the area, or keep more solo dogs on quiet walks around the neighborhood. I can board pets in my house and I have the basic necessities to care for your pets. I do not have a kennel.

About: Animals are my biggest passion! I’ll take care of them in every way i can. I’ll make sure they get all their playtime in and make sure they’re all clean and fed. If your doggo has special needs just let me know! If your pupper is the kind to jump and kiss, that’s great! If they’re shy and anxious to new people that’s just as alright! I’ll make them feel as comfortable as i possibly can. :) I hope I can satisfy you with my service because I know your puppers and doggos will exceed my expectations! My part time job mainly requires me during nights and weekends, so i’m free most weekdays during the day. If you have any concerns or questions just contact me! I’m currently enrolled full time in college and looking to make extra money. My current availability is Wednesday through Monday as I have in person classes on Tuesdays for the next few months. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and I can crate your dog if necessary. I live out away from the city and don’t have a busy street.

About: I have been caring for pets of my friends and family for years. I would love to provide care for your pets while you are away. Medication administration is ok. I am flexible and ready to accommodate your pets at any time. Providing care and attention to pets while their parents are away is my main goal. In my home dogs are welcome to enjoy a large back yard to play in while inside they will have free reign of the residence. I can provide walking if yards are not fenced and can stick to any boundaries a client has.

About: Started as veterinary assistant at 13 yrs old. Have had dogs, cats, chickens, goats, rabbits. ferrets, horses. Bred Dobbies. Animals have more heart than us. I work only two days a week in equine therapy. So I have a couple days to walk 3/4 dogs a day. Not looking for a huge clientele. Part time I am only offering dog walking for the time being. My home is pet friendly, however I would prefer to go to the pets home for pet family care.

About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet at any point this summer! I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby. I love him so much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me happy, and so I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too.

About: Hello! I am Baileigh and would love to get to meet your furry family! I am an owner of a dog and 2 cats within my own home and have a heart for helping families and pets when needed. I am open to staying with animals overnight and am flexible with schedules. I have previous experience with pet/ house sitting and would love to hear from all! I am working full time M-Th and until noon on Fridays. I am off the weekends. I am available to do visits into the home for potty breaks during my lunch break during the week and able to stay at the home once I am off. I am able to stay within the home once I get off Friday at noon and throughout the entire weekend. I have experience with staying at clients homes to pet/ house sit. I am an active individual and enjoy playing with animals throughout the time I spend within the home. I am diligent regarding instructions left from clients (feeding times, potty routines, walk limits, etc.)

About: Hi, I’m Randy! With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality, I’ve seen (and loved) it all—from tiny teacups to gentle giants. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight care, or just someone to shower your pet with love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like family and tailor care to match their energy, routine, and needs. Senior dogs? High-energy pups? Nervous rescues? I’ve got the patience and know-how to make them feel safe and happy. Let’s chat and see how I can give your furry friend the care they deserve! 🐾 I work full time with a hybrid schedule—Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and Fridays from 8 AM to 12 PM. I’m in the office just one day a week, and the rest of the time I work from home, which allows me to give your pets attention throughout the day. As a full-time mom and a proud dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find reliable, loving care. I build my schedule around making sure your pets feel safe, seen, and cared for—whether it’s quick potty breaks, cozy overnight stays, or playful visits. I’ll always communicate clearly about availability and work with you to make sure your pet gets the best care, even with a busy schedule! While I no longer provide care in my own home, I’m happy to travel to yours to care for your pets where they feel safest and most at ease. Whether it’s drop-in visits, daily walks, or in-home sitting, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and close attention to their unique needs and routines. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and slow to warm up. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by keeping up with feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and most importantly—giving them companionship, affection, and reassurance while you’re away. With over 15 years of experience and a dog of my own, I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. You can expect consistent communication, thoughtful care, and plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

About: I had many cats & dogs growing up as well as worked in doggy daycares so you can rest assured they are loved & cared for by me! I’m currently working part time which leaves me with a great amount of availability for your pets! I can do short notice runs as well. My husband and I can care for both pups and kitties in my home since we have no animals of our own at the time :)

About: I have always had personal dogs and I’ve also taken care of family and friends pets as well. I’ve dealt with a wide array of different dogs, including a full grown energetic Doberman, husky, German Shepherd, and a corgi and a Maltese I’ve handled young, old, everything in between and I personally enjoy taking my dogs out for a long walk I believe every dog has a right to proper care and long walks! I put pet safety first in my walks taking extra precautions when crossing roads as well under hot sidewalk conditions! I currently work M-F 8AM-4:30PM. I am a pretty active person so I am always open to a walk before, or after work! I love dogs, and would love to help them get their energy out and walks in on the weekends! In my personal home my dogs go out four times a day on a leash, and gets fed in the am and pm, as well as going on two 30 minute walks daily.

“Clara did a great job with Murphy for an entire week. He is a very energetic 8 month old beagle. She took him on walks, played outside and went on field trips. We are very happy to have her as our dog sitter.”


About: July 2025 update: My work experience now includes training from veterinary clinics, and wildlife rehabilitation experience; I'd be able to spot any problems as well as take extra good care of your pets and their health. Many of my clients prefer me because of the time and extra care I put into their babies. Apart from the health side, I'd be able to work with your pet on any issues and special needs they may have with round the clock care. Pets are not crated unless otherwise instructed. Their comfort and protection always come first when they are with me. My summer internship is over, so now I have some free time opened up. My last semester at UC begins at the end of August, and I will update my calendar accordingly. Aside from that, I am usually at my house with my own pets. As of now, I am very flexible with my time for any pet care. I don't mind going to a clients home nearby when I am free. I'll follow any instructions the owner gives me as well as just generally being playful and making sure they are safe, fed and comfortable
