1. Kailie G.
“We have used Kailie now 2x for our rescue dogs, cat and fish. She has stayed at our house while we on much needed vacations, and we always came home to well cared for animals, a clean house and no surprises. She sent us pictures every day, which we greatly appreciated. To have someone stay in your home and care for your animals is a big ask, and Kailie made us feel relaxed about this each time. I cannot recommend her enough!”
2. Tim C.
“Tim was great. We booked a 5 hour whale watch tour and needed someone to walk/ take care of our dog in Bar Harbor while we were out. He works for the company to was able to help check us in and then take care of our dog for the day. We very much appreciated his willingness to help us!”
3. Kate B.
“Kate is an exceptional dog sitter. She is a person whose expertise, love of dogs and excellent care make her an excellent choice for your dog's care. We have English Setters and Kate brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our dogs' needs, from puppy to senior years. Kate stays connected, provides regular updates and lets me know that our dogs are in the best possible hands. This makes leaving home without our beloved dogs a stress-free experience. I highly recommend Kate to those seeking a knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate caregiver for your beloved dog(s). She treats them as her family!”
4. Richard & Hope R.
“Richard has been renting from me for about six months and helping with the dogs I have here when I get busy. He has helped in the past when I have needed an extra helper with some of the dogs I have. He helps me to organize the feeding and sometimes brings them out for walks so we can get them out in a timely manner. He is a loving and responsible person who can be trusted with your dog as he has always had dogs in his life, getting his first dog (a Great Dane mix) when he was ten years old. He has cared for my dog Maebe numerous times and she loves him dearly.”

6. Bambi D.
“Bambi was so easy to work with. The pups and kitten were in such amazing spirits when we returned, and the house was even cleaner than we left it! She was very responsive, and even took a trip to the house before the stay to meet the gang, and get to know the place. Highly recommend.”

“Amelia has taken care of my house and pets (dog, cats, bird) for years. She is conscientious, kind, reliable, and great with dogs and their people. I highly recommend Amelia for your pet care needs.”

I plan to pet sit on my days off/up to the first night I have to go into work, which would be Wednesday afternoon around 3pm is the last time I am available for a drop in varying on location could be earlier or a tad later. I love animals very dearly as I have 5 of my own and work in the veterinary medicine industry to help as many as I can. I will make sure your pets are well taken care of. Whether that be a bath, given treats, taken for a walk, let them run in your backyard, car ride, or even just relaxing in the living room. I will treat them as if they were my own.
