House Sitting in East Boothbay

“Avery takes such great care of my dog Bub and is a wonderful communicator and very reliable! Bub gets a bit nervous to be with a sitter, but always seems like he's had a very fun and relaxing time when I come home from a trip. Thanks so much for hanging with Bub, Avery!”

“Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!”

About: I’m more than just a sitter — I’m someone who’s dedicated my life to understanding and caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs, and my passion for their well-being has only deepened over the years. I’ve worked hands-on in both doggy daycares and animal care facilities, where I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — as well as other animals. I’ve also personally trained my own dog to become a service dog, which has given me deep insight into canine behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m currently pursuing certification as a professional dog trainer and working toward a bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior — so I bring both real-world experience and science-backed knowledge to every walk and visit. Whether it’s puppies needing structure, seniors needing gentle care, or high-energy dogs that need a good workout, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, respect, and consistency. Right now, I have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s care. I'm currently in between jobs, so I’m flexible and able to accommodate last-minute bookings, daily walks, and extended stays. Even when I’m busy, I always make time for my own dog — caring for animals is just a natural part of my routine. Once I’m working part-time, pet care will still be a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll continue to provide consistent, loving care with reliability you can count on. In My Home: I offer a safe, spacious, and fun environment for your pup! I have a large home with a secure, designated dog run for added safety. Your dog will also have a built-in playmate — my own well-trained and friendly dog, who’s great at matching energy levels and knows when to give other dogs space. It’s a great setup for high-energy dogs who love to play, but also calm enough for dogs who just want to relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as you leave them, and I always treat your space with respect. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adjust to your pet’s needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

“Christi was a terrific house/pet sitter for us. She sent daily updates of activities and pictures of our cat, Lucy, and young golden retriever, Pepper. Pepper is a bit of a handful and Christi spent a lot of time with her on walks, car rides and clicker training. We really appreciated her efforts. The daily communications reassured us that our pets were in good hands. It was nice to see how Lucy snuggled right up to her. We were greeted by happy pets on our return and a tidy house. We highly recommend Christi for a pet sitter.”

About: We each have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. We truly love animals and enjoy giving them dependable, loving care while your away! We both have flexible schedules, so pet care fits easily into our daily routine. We’re home most of the day, which allows us to give pets regular walks, playtime, and attention. We’re able to follow each pet’s normal routine and keep things as consistent as possible. We take safety very seriously. We follow all instructions, keep a secure environment, and make sure pets are always supervised, especially on walks or outdoors. We respect our clients’ homes and routines, and we keep owners updated so they can trust their pet is in good hands.

“We could not ask for a better person to take care of our pups! Emily is so attentive to our dogs needs and takes amazing care of them and our home! We are extremely grateful for her!”

Cris A.

“Lauren treated our baby and our home as if they were her own! I didn’t worry while I was away- she sent pictures and updates regularly and let me know that Comet was in good hands. I feel so happy to know that we have a truly caring and trustworthy sitter who we can trust to watch our girl again in future!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!

“Esther loved on my pets and kept my home in good order. We loved her!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for several years. I'm comfortable and capable of taking care of pets with medical needs including but not limited to insulin. I started fostering cats, kittens, pregnant cats, puppies, and dogs for Midcoast Humane in 2020. I currently work full time as a teacher meaning early mornings and late afternoons free. I also have a comfortable amazing amount of time off with school vacations and summer vacation. During the work week I can be available for early morning walks and afternoons after 3:30. I can also stay with your pet overnight while still working and or have your pet stay in our home. I live in a very peaceful and safe area of Boothbay with very little traffic. We have an unfenced yard with an aerial dog run. We have two older children ages 11 and 13. We also have one female cat age 10 and one small terrier mix age 1 male, both animals have been fixed. Our pets are family and yours will be as well. Lots of cuddles and comfy spaces as well as walks and play.

“Daniel was very communicative and reliable. He stayed at the house with our dogs and took very good care of the dogs and the house. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Katie is the best dog care ever💯🥰”

“Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!”

Cheryl F.

“Nicole is very communicative and caring. She jumped in to help with a very last minute request. She is calm, and is really sweet with the dogs. We had to end the booking early due to concerns with my dog’s behavior but I’m thankful she was able to flag the issues early on. She is easy to work with and your dogs wills be in great hands.”

Heloise P.

“Liseli is kind, loving and cared for our golden retriever, Fletcher in our home. We felt very safe leaving our senior pup in her care. She sent texts and photos to us each day to let us know how he was doing. Since he is a rescue, it is important for him to stay at home when we have to be away. We will definitely be having her stay with Fletcher again!”

About: Every animal has a story. Mine began long before I ever thought of pet care as a service — it began with connection. From the shy pup curled in the corner to the elderly dog whose slow steps spoke of trust earned, I’ve learned that every animal communicates in its own language of wagging tails, soft purrs, and trusting eyes. Over decades, I’ve walked alongside puppies discovering grass for the first time and supported senior dogs whose gentle steps reflect a lifetime of loyalty. With every house sit, I’m not just caring for pets — I’m honoring the bond you share with them, giving reassurance through consistent routines, heartfelt playtimes, and quiet moments of comfort. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my ability to read body language, anticipate needs, and bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. Pets are the rhythm of my day — they shape my mornings with excitement and my evenings with calm connection. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to be present for walks when the air is crisp, for quiet cuddle time when hearts need soothing, and for check-ins that give owners peace of mind. I simply ask for a day’s notice so I can plan the best moments with your beloved companion. Your pet’s safety is my promise. In my one-story home filled with warmth and gentle energy, two rescue cats have taught me the art of patience, play, and respect for personal space. Our quiet neighborhood offers leash-friendly strolls and ample paths to explore at a comfortable pace. I ensure a calm, structured, and loving environment that supports routine, comfort, and trust.

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. In my more recent years I have dog sat for family members and neighbors. I have enjoyed being able to give peace of mind to them knowing their pets are safe, happy, and cared for. Owning a dog and cat myself I understand the stress and fear of having to leave your pets. Whether it’s work, vacation and other life events it can feel like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind while you’re away. I strive to bridge that gap and be able to provide peace of mind. My dog is a rescue and came to me with some behavioral challenges: fear, reactivity, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors. I know from experience leaving a pet that has some big feelings at times can be even more challenging and thats where I come in. To offer you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat will be safe and cared for with me. I firmly believe in the saying no bad dogs and would love to get the opportunity to take one worry off your plate while you are away! I have summers off and am able to be around as much or as little as needed for your pet in the summers as that is a busy time for vacations. I do structured schedules with play, train walk and rest times with pets. I can also create scheduled enrichment times throughout our time together. I try to cater what we are doing based on needs of the dog so they are fulfilled.

“Beth is fantastic! We were away for more than a week and she stayed with our cat (a sometimes challenging cat!), and he was incredibly cared for. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely have her care for our kitty again should the need arise. I can’t recommend Beth highly enough.”
