“Natalie was the best. She is so kind and took such care of our Louie. She was really tuned in to him and what he needed and was in touch with us to share photos and updates. I don't see how we could have found a better sitter for our dog.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received during her stay with Alissa! Alissa sent regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how comfortable my dog was. She took my pet on frequent walks, which I could tell they thoroughly enjoyed. When I returned to pick up my dog, my dog was healthy, happy and even was given some homemade dog treats to bring home. It’s clear that Alissa is not only experienced but truly cares about the animals she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely hire her again!”


“Our dog Scout had a fantastic time with Colleen. She went on wonderful walks and adventures, had a few swims and lots of time in the outdoors. It's very clear that Colleen loves dogs and she went the extra mile to make sure that Scout felt happy and cared for. She sent lots of pictures and a daily diary so we could see all of the fun that Scout was having. We were afraid that she might not want to come home! We recommend Colleen highly.”


“Molly and her family took great care of our three pups, especially taking them on plenty of walks. Communication was a breeze and they were flexible about pick-up and drop-off times.”


“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”


“Lacey and Jeremy were absolutely fantastic with our pups! We have an older dog and a young puppy, both of whom need to have frequent potty breaks. This was no problem for them. They were so welcoming and loving with our guys. Lacey carefully listened to all our concerns and directions about the dogs but I didn’t need to worry because everything went so well. They had a long stay and had such a wonderful time that I wasn’t sure they would want to come home. Lacey communicated with us regularly and sent adorable pictures. We were surprised and delighted that both dogs were given baths and looked and smelled great when we picked them up. Lacey and Jeremy definitely exceeded our expectations.”


“Our dog squid had a fantastic time with Rose and her dogs while we went away for a 4 day trip. Rose was very easy to work with and sent pictures and updates all throughout squids stay with her. We are super grateful and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time we need a reliable dog sitter.”


About: Hi, I have taken care of my own pets and other people's pets for years. I moved to Mid coast ME 5 yrs ago from Nantucket. I am also a professional gardener, so if you need watering etc while your away. I am currently self employed, so I have a flexible schedule. We can figure out a plan for your pet care. Look forward in planning w you. I have a dog Elka and 2 cats. Elka is easy going dog who loves other dogs and cats. I think the best way is to have the dogs meet and see how things go w them before a care schedule can begin. We have also traveled and cared for other dogs in their homes and everyone gets along.

“The dogs were met by Lindsay. She has a welcoming routine that has been perfected. She communicated promptly. I brought home two tired girls so I know they had a lovely time.”


About: I have lots of experience working with animals, including time working at an animal hospital during high school, where I learned to care for pets of all kinds. I’m familiar with administering medications and meeting the unique needs of different animals. I am currently searching for a summer job while taking a couple summer classes while i finish my associate degree. My schedule is very open! In my home i have one dog a very friend golden retriever who loves playdates and we have a big yard by woods. I’m very attendant and anxious so i spend a lot of time outside with my dog and love going for walks

“We are so thankful to Lizzie for taking such great care of Houston for the week. She made sure he was comfortable and included him in whatever she was doing. Lizzie is so good she anticipate Houston's needs. We know when we leave Houston with Lizzie we are coming back to a happy and healthy dog.”


“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”


“Kelsey is wonderful. She is very responsive and responsible. She has been terrific with my anxious pup and put him (and me) at ease. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kelsey to any pet parent!”


“Jaclyn was wonderful. My 2year old Tiva hasn’t been left over night with a sitter and other dogs before. We were very nervous. Jaclyn sent pictures, videos and text stating how she slowly introduced other dogs to our Tiva. Tiva have a great time and we definitely will be taking her back to Jaclyn!”


About: I have worked as a vet assistant and groomer. Pets have been a part of the family for my whole life, everything from bearded dragons and guinea pigs to a wonderful St. Bernard. I might actually be part cat. I'm a stay-at-home mom. Every morning I give the insistent critters their breakfast and some play time before letting the dogs out. Play and cuddle time happens all day. There is a big basket of toys for both dogs and cats in the living room and jars of treats are scattered around the house. Our yard isn't fenced yet, but there is a runner and the yard is surrounded by woods. We're also on a dead end road, so there's no traffic. The cats have litter boxes in the basement, with a cat door for access. That gives them a bit of privacy, the dogs aren't allowed down there. The cats also have a water fountain and food bowls high enough that the dogs can't reach.

“Highest marks! Pat was super-attentive to Cody's special needs and gave us daily updates. We were particularly impressed by the way she introduced the other dogs in her care to Cody -- incrementally, to not overwhelm our little girl and also to get a read for who would get along best so she could manage everyone socially. We would absolutely use Pat's services again. Thank you so much!!!”


“Jessica and her husband are fantastic. We have a puppy and they took her in immediately like she was their own. They were accommodating in our situation, as we were staying somewhere close to them that wouldn't allow our pup to stay at the house. We were able to still see her during the day to play. Their Dog Ivy is a sweetheart with alot of energy. You can tell their Dog is well loved. She sent updates and responded quickly when I inquired. We will definitely stay with them again.”


“Tanya is amazing! Dexter loves staying with Tanya. He gets spoiled rotten in the best way when he goes to see Tanya. He gets so much outside time and even has his spot on the couch. I’ve brought Dexter to Tanya multiple times and will definitely bring him to her again. She really is the best!”
