About: Hi! I'm Nieves. I have been caring for animals all my life. My pet sitting experience includes many breeds of small, medium, and large dogs and cats. I have also taken care of rabbits, turtles, fish, and many kinds of reptiles. I understand how hard it is to care for pets when you are busy with work and life's responsibilities, that's why I am dedicated to devoting my time and energy into helping you care for your pets in the best way possible. Your pet is also welcome to come to my house. I am willing to have them on my bed, couch, or bed of their own- whichever you prefer. I have a large yard and two acres of unfenced land. I would be happy to take your pet to the vet, monitor and administer their meds, and take care of them and love them as much as you do. I really believe that pets should be treated with the same respect, caring, and love that we as people expect. I hope to meet and your pet soon! I am available Monday through Friday after 4:00 p.m. and on weekends. Please get in touch with me and we can work out a schedule that works best for you and your pet. I'm more than happy to meet your pet's special needs and requirements--just let me know!

“Great job! Jaclyn was thorough and professional, and I appreciated seeing pictures of the dogs while we were away. Our pooches were relaxed and happy when we picked them up. Thanks Jaclyn!”

About: I’ve taken care of all dogs big and small and love every one of them (especially the big ones). My family has owned dogs since I was a young child. I am a trained EMT so I understand the basics of administering medication if your dog has specific needs. I have an extremely flexible routine and work primarily from home, so I have a lot of time to spend caring and playing with your dog. I’m an active person so if your dog likes to run that’s a plus! Our home is located on a large plot of land, so we have lots of space for your dog to run around and play outside, safely. Soon we will have a large, fenced area to play off-leash.

“Jessica was so kind! And kept me updated on Indie all day and sent as many pictures as I asked for and more!! I am so happy with the care and love Indie received and Indie was too! Will definitely reach out again!”

“Molly and Caleb were amazing to my golden, Harry. They genuinely cared about him and he came back a tired and happy pup. Molly is responsive and responsible, and a trustworthy person and awesome communicator.”

About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was a child. I am a natural animal lover. I can also say the same for my husband. We love animals ! I am currently my friends go to dog watcher/walker. Your fur baby will be treated with love and respect in my care !!! I am currently working from home. My husband and both have remote jobs. Your precious baby will have access to our back yard all day long. It is very rare that we leave the house for more than 6 hours. They will also be able to stay in a separate room if needed. We will often take our dogs to the neighborhood park to play fetch and run out some energy! IAce ( mini Aussie) is 8 years old and we also have Nala ( chocolate lab) is 5 years old. Playing fetch and running around is part of our daily routine.

About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request this summer has been from folks on visiting who would like me to day sit at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. This summer I am taking a sabbatical to my career job which means more hiking, walks and freedom to spend time with your pet- with flexible scheduling :) While my home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence, pets are never left unattended in the area. Happy to board with your routine in mind in terms of crating or free range of our home and total pampering. Pet sitting at your home is welcome too!

About: 🐱🐶 Animals have been my whole world my whole life! I have experience with a variety of animals from fish 🐠 to turtles🐢 as well as dogs🐕 and cats🐈‍⬛. I use positive reinforcement training techniques with our three rescue dogs and I use worship all cats techniques with our cats 😆. I am comfortable and familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. So medication💊 and physical therapy💪 exercises are something I am happy to provide! I went to college for animal behavior and animal sciences and have a degree in Ecology 🌎 I completed a 2 year course in wildlife rehabilitation. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and that means they get the utmost care and attention. 🫡 I will respect and follow whatever your babies' needs and preferences are as well as yours when it comes to them and to your space. 💓 We love taking our dogs on all sorts of outdoor adventures but safety is always our top priorty⛰️🦺! I am great at reading animals and understanding the different personalities and quirks they each have so I can provide them with the best care that works for them 🧐 Every animal is different but they all deserve our best! I have a flexible schedule and my own car that allows me to be an adaptive and on call care giver. I don't mind late bookings or cancelations as I understand that things come up. I am new to rover and still figuring out what works best but am always willing to work with clients on what works best for them and their pets. Animals are my first priority but I also believe homes and personal spaces are sacred and I will always treat them with respect and attention. All animals are different so its important to use to always be aware of anything potentially unsafe. Our home is for animals first and there is nowhere they aren't allowed although animal guests and clients are always fully supervised to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Our home is very easy going and has a lot of space for different needs and comforts. In your home, I will defer to your personal preferences always.

“My dog had a great time with Lincey and her family and I received updates throughout the day confirming that she was safe and having fun. I was visiting the area for a few days and Lincey’s willingness to accept a last-minute booking made it possible for me to go kayaking secure in the knowledge that my fur-baby was well cared for and having a grand adventure of her own. Thanks Lincey!”

“Jillian took good care of our dogs over 4 days of boarding and later during a day of dog sitting. Her location in the forest made for exciting walks and time outdoors. Her dogs were good company. And Jillian was sensitive to the needs of our dogs and expert in knowing how to draw them out when everything was new.”

LouAnn H.

“Joy provided a safe and comfortable space for Sprite.”

About: I love animals! Cats, dogs, horses, pigs, and peacocks, I've cared for them all. Let me show you why I love animals, and more importantly, why they love me! I currently work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. Let's chat and see how we can align your pet care needs with my work schedule. My own pet is a huge part of my life. He's spent his 15 years of life with very few days without me. My care for him will be mirrored in my care for your own furry family member.

About: I have 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, and I actually love being around them, and putting my skills to good use. They bring me great joy, and I try to reciprocate that. I would love to work locally so I am able to work my own hours around my grandsons educational needs, while providing income by doing what I love. I have my Veterinary Assistant certificate, and have experience in applying some medications. I am aware of the drastic New England temperatures, as I've lived her all my life, and I take that into great consideration when caring for the animals entrusted in my care. I appreciate your consideration. Thank you for your time. I am available seven days a week, 24/7 I can work a schedule with you, or be on call. I will send you pictures and updates, you can call to check in at anytime at all. I have always practiced safety first when working with animals. I truly love them all, and will take necessary precautions to prevent anything negative happening. I make them feel at home while in my care, they are allowed free range of my home. I know some dogs can go unleashed, but I do NOT let them off leash while in my care. I apologize for this, but I will walk them on a leash as many times as they like!

“Bethany was great. Rex came back ready to sleep. Got some pictures of him having fun throughout the day!”
