1. Christina P.


“Christina is the absolute best at what she does and is so caring. She has been an absolute blessing for ourselves and our pupper Astro . Astro always lives his time with her and the other pups . This was the first time that we have ever had anyone watch Astro overnight. Christina made us feel so comfortable and honestly we didn’t worry at all . Thank you again”


2. Kelly A.

“We couldn't feel more lucky than to have found Kelly to take care of our dog. If you are in the midcoast area, you'll feel the same if you ask her to watch your pup. We have an older dog, and he was so comfortable and loved at her house, but I'm guessing any dog of any age would feel the same. Really, not a thing could have gone better, and we couldn't be more grateful”


3. Alissa B.

“Our puppy Mabel had the most wonderful experience with Alissa! Even though we were on vacation it felt like Mabel was too with how well she was treated. She had daily playtime, fetch, special treats, enrichment toys, cuddles, and even her own space. We never had to worry about her with Alissa providing daily updates and photos. We would recommend Alissa to any dog owners who may have anxiety about leaving their pup in good hands. With Alissa, your dog is in a great hands!”

7. Molly P.
“Best experience I've had on Rover. Molly is incredibly nice and went above and beyond. Our dogs were so happy. She's very confident and able to handle even my more nervous/ skittish dog and made her feel happy in her home. I'll definitely use her again!!”


8. Erin P.
“Erin is excellent with dogs of all kinds. She herself has cared for a variety of dogs with different conditions. She has watched my 70ish lb male dog several times and he's been very well cared for. He enjoys spending time in her yard and getting lots of pets from Erin. My dog (Jack) fits right in with her dogs who are all very friendly. Highly recommend!”


9. Lindsay S.

“We haven’t been on vacation in awhile. This was the first time leaving our puppy with Lindsay. They were very well cared for! Teddy loves going and now Tigger loves it also. I can’t imagine anyone else caring for our dogs!”


10. Jennifer M.

“We had a great experience having Jen care for Jadie. We loved that she had a lot of knowledge dealing with high energy dogs and provided a positive experience for Jadie to play with her dogs. We will definitely use Jen to care for Jadie again!”


11. Kari M.

“We are so picky with who watches our doggy, and we know that Kari always takes fantastic care of him! He gets plenty of exercise and love while he is there, and Kari is great with communication and sending lots of pictures. Definitely a comfortable second home and family for our dog that we can use on repeat.”


12. Craig R.
“I have known craig for years and his kind demeanor and fun personality makes dogs instantly drawn to him! He is well versed in dog body language, play styles, first aid care, and knows the best spots for walks! My dog and his dog penny are best friends and I always feel at ease leaving my girl with him. A true dog lover that would do anything to keep any pup happy!”


13. Terry & Sheree J.

“We have used many dog sitters in the long life of our old dog and this was one of the best we have ever had. I so appreciated how very thorough they were at the meet & greet obtaining all the pertinent info needed about my dog, with notepad in hand, above and beyond what I would have remembered to impart. So I knew right away she would be in very good hands. Top of the line in knowledge about dogs, home, neighborhood, fenced in yard and conscientiousness. Paisley had a great stay. We are always grateful to have a home away from home for our girl that leaves us worry free about her care. Terry & Sheree are very responsive, shared photos to us, they walked her and made her feel right at home. We highly recommend them for your pets but please leave room for us to go back. Thanks Terry & Sheree. Hope you don't get so busy you can't fit us. We will be back!”


14. Colleen M.

“Colleen is amazing. Full of ideas to get the dogs out and running. Our dog, who does not tire easily, came home wiped..... He obviously enjoyed his stay very much. Colleen kept us up to date on his activities and was very accommodating as we traveled back to Maine from international connections. She's easy going and sincerely has a great rapport with dogs. We hope to have Oban stay with her in the future.”


15. Ava S.

“My family and I highly recommend Ava! Nala received more care and attention than she needed, and she loves Ava!❤️ Ava also provides a grooming service so you can pick up a fluffy pet home. 🥰Something I like about her grooming is Ava rounded Napa’s nails to ensure her paws are not sharp after nail cutting. We will send Nala back to Ava.”


16. Rose R.

“This was my dog-Sophie’s- first time away from family in her almost 2 years. She loved it. The large outdoor yard and Rose’s dogs made her feel welcome and a part of the pack. We would use Rose’s sitter services again for sure!”


17. Chelsea G.


“Chelsea and her family are the sweetest. They were so so helpful and flexible for my schedule with keeping him. Harley also definitely came back well loved and cared for. We are so so appreciative of them and would recommend to anyone!”


18. Alex L.
“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”


19. Marissa G.

“Literally couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitting experience! Our two dogs had the best time and we were provided with pictures and updates throughout! Perfect environment for pups and we will definitely be returning!”

About: People say I am an animal whisper. Specifically pets. However, I don’t consider myself a whisperer. I call it RESPECT. I treat any animal like it’s my own (I have 5) and I get on the same level with the furry friend (both literally and intellectually). And yes, people may think I’m weird because I talk to the animals out loud but I believe animals who are living organisms (like people) get RESPECT! I currently work part-time. But that won’t stop me. I have 4 days off usually through out the week. Depending on my schedule I’m going to provide services on my days off of my part time job. If a time will not work for both you and me then I will make a priority to try and arrange a time to provide a service as soon as possible. I will walk your furry companions as long as you would like. If it’s really hot out no matter if it’s a short or long walk, I can bring a container and a thing of water as well as during the walk. I will provide rest breaks in the shade. Pet sitting I will play with them, make sure there food is always available (clients preference) and if they need to go out I’ll be happy to take them out.
