About: I grew up very hesitant of dogs, but I’ve grown to adore them! Spending time with animals has been like a form of therapy for me and being outside makes it even better! I’m currently on summer vacation and I don’t have a job at the moment, so I’m free for pet care at any time! Being able to walk and care for animals is something I would love to make a main part of my day. I am a very big rule follower, so whatever you say goes! I am very big on safety and if a situation seems risky, I will avoid it at all costs. My main priority is the health and safety of the animals I am watching.

“Camille responded to my request within the hour and was able to come for a first time, last minute, dog walk when the dog walker I had lined up cancelled. Judging by the smile on my pups face in the photos she sent, I’d say she took good care of him. Thank you Camille!”

About: My mom raised my brothers and I with animals since the day we were born. I’ve learned to take care of many pets growing up from our own family pets, my friends pets, and my neighbors. I’ve done everything there is…cleaned throw up, walked the animals, cleaned litter boxes, and played ball.. and I’ve loved every second of all of it! (maybe i don’t LOVE the throw up LOL) I was in elementary school when I learned to take care of animals as a part of a daily routine. My mother and I took turns waking up early to let the dogs out or walk them around our block. Even now while I’m home from college, I help walk, feed, and play with my dog while my mom works extra hours at her job. I am respectful of other households having dog-sat for family or friends before. I love playing with animals and making sure they feel loved in their homes or when I’m walking them.

About: I've been around and taken care of dogs my entire life, from puppies to seniors. I've participated in multiple veterinary internships at various clinics, and also interned at doggy daycares! I've taken animal science and behavioral classes and am comfortable dealing with a range of situations, and I have also taken pet first aid classes in case of an emergency. From helping out neighbors and friends with taking care their dogs while away, as well as taking care of my own dog and pets. I have a dog of my own, and we're currently working on his advanced obedience training, as well as dog sports! I have handled and am comfortable with any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I'm on the path to becoming a dog trainer and currently employed at a local training facility. Dogs are my passion, and you can assure your pups will be getting quality care the same I would for my own dog! I'm currently in college studying as an Animal Behavior major, I have full weekend availability for your pups, with overnights as well as drop-in times during the day for walks, feeding, etc. While taking care of your pets you can assure they have my full attention while they are in my care. Dogs are my passion and every pup deserves quality care and patience! Plenty of mental and physical exercise will be provided for your furry friends as it's what they deserve!

About: I live in Waterville and would love to watch your fur babies. I have had a dog my whole life mostly labs but I really enjoy dogs and watching their interactions with humans and with other pets. My pups go everywhere with me especially on hikes they are troopers. Wouldn't mind having some other dogs to accompany us. I am currently working full time from home with a flexible schedule. I take my dogs for walks around the neighborhood on breaks and lunches. I have a large back yard with a lot of room to play ball or to fetch. I have other friendly playful dogs that would love to have some play mates.

About: As a current pet store employee, I’m constantly refreshing my knowledge on all animals so that I can better help any pet parents that come in. This includes staying up to date on care and training practices, as well as knowing what products are useful and needed and when they may be needed. I also work closely with the grooming and training team, so I have a bit of knowledge in those areas as well! As a college graduate with a biology degree who’s main focus was on animals of all kind, I take animal care very seriously. I constantly am reading up on care and learning to understand animal body language as best as humanly possible. My animals mean the world to me, and I know others feel the same way about theirs. If theres any way I can assure people their pets and comfortable and safe while they’re away, that’s what I try to do. I am very vigilant while I am watching any type of pet, meaning I’m always making sure they are not getting into anything they shouldn’t, that they are properly restrained when outside of the home, and that they are living in a clean home while I am there. Cats litter boxes scooped daily, dogs walked daily and well engaged in activity, and any other pets properly cared for as well.

About: I am an avid animal lover who owns two dogs (a 5 year old cocker spaniel-poodle along with a 3 year old cocker spaniel-poodle). My animals are my life and I love meeting other fur babies :) I take my own dogs on walks and car rides nearly daily and I have been trusted to care for my extended families’ pets as well. I am very protective over all of my animals, making sure they’re safe and healthy, but I also spoil them with treats often. I feel I am very prepared to take care of other people’s animals because I understand the importance fur babies are in people’s lives, and I would do everything I can to protect them like they’re my own. I do work at Kelberman Monday-Friday 8-4, but I am available to stop in before or after work as long as I have a proper notice. At my own home, I have a fenced in yard where I play fetch with my dogs for HOURS. I love a good walk and love taking dogs for walks :)

“Responsive and reliable! Great to know her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Neighbors, friends and family have allowed me to take care of their dogs for years. I currently have a 9 year old lab and had a lab for ten years before him. Currently I am available all day and every day of the week. I am looking for a new job doing something I love to do. We have a large backyard but it’s not fenced in. I can take the dog out on a leash if needed. There is a park near my house where I walk my dog every morning. My father and mother are both home and can give your pet extra love, attention and help when needed. I have a 7 year old male lab who loves everyone and is great with other animals.

We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family.

That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love.

Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)

About: I've been caring for my three dogs and one cat since 2017 and since then I've had several opportunities to help friends and family make sure their pets are taken care of during vacations or business trips without having to pay for expensive and stressful kennel services. I love caring for all animals and especially love meeting new ones I have a very open and flexible schedule as my primary occupation is as a freelance writer and I make my own hours. I love visiting and caring for animals since it's almost like a break from working for me I keep my visits organized by making use of check lists to make sure everything gets done well and in the correct order. If your pet is very particular or has a strict routine then no worries! As long as you let me know what's needed I'll make sure it's done.
