I’ve also house/pet sat for family in recent years. Currently I am a full time college student with some days less packed than others, so im happy to work on setting up times and dates that work best for you! 47 acres of woods, if dog has poor recall a leash will be kept on to avoid getting loose or lost. In own and clients home, dietary needs and feeding times will be stuck to as to ensure that your furry friend is as comfortable as possible.

“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!”
“Hayley was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the time she spent at our home. We immediately felt at ease leaving our senior dogs in her care for a week, and would definitely recommend her as a pup and house sitter.”
“Emily immediately connected with Frankie, kept him calm and happy in a new setting (we were traveling for a wedding). I’d hire her again in a heartbeat when I’m next in the area. She even gave him an insulin shot which she’d never done before! Top notch sitter.”
“Jackie was incredible with our frenchie!!! Milli was so happy every day to see her and spend time together. They formed a close bond after a short time :)”
“Brandy was fantastic! My dog is not easy due to anxiety and fear (she is a rescue). Elly didn't take that long to warm up and once she did they were able to stick to her regular schedule. Brandy was understanding and compassionate to where Elly was emotionally. She took her for great walks and played with her. Brandy sent pictures and lots of updates. Also Brandy was respectful of our house and left it as she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely ask her back. Thank you!”
About: I am a well experienced dog owner, having had at least one dog since I was 8. I currently have two dogs, Moose and Banyan. They get along well with other dogs and people. I love dogs, cats, and animals of any kind. I am highly respectful and dependable, with references I can provide if desired. I have reliable transportation and a private property that I own. There is no fence, however, there are six acres. If you want to get pictures and check ins, even videos I’m your pet sitter! If you want minimal updates and to not worry about a thing, I’m also your pet sitter! I also have experience providing medications and can keep continuity with your training preferences. Thank you! I work from home most days. Other days I am flexible to come home for restroom breaks or bring them along. When I work from home I am near the animals. A client’s pet will be treated like my own. I have half the house where pets are allowed and if needed I can separate animals into different areas of the house.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, always including dogs and cats. Since moving out on my own I miss spending time with them regularly and I’d love to help out with your pets! I live with bunnies and love to play with them and also regularly feed and clean them. I miss having dogs and cats and would love to make some new pet friends! I have a fenced in yard that can be used for easily taking care of dogs outdoors. I have space to board dogs as is needed!

Elias V.
“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”

Coryn B.
“Coryn was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had so far. She was always on time and so good with my two dogs and three cats, who are no easy clan to deal with. I am very picky with who I let watch them because they have specific feeding and care instructions, she followed all of them well and devoted a lot of time to their care. I can tell she is an animal lover and really cares about their well being. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
Atreyu S.
“Atreyu is a kind, intuitive soul who has spent his life growing up with animals. He is always happy to bring a dog (or two or three) along with him as he walks about on various adventures. Whether in the country or in towns, the dogs in his care learn good manners and enjoy his easygoing companionship. I wish that Atreyu still lived near me as my dogs love and miss his caring presence.”
