“Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.”

“Sara was awesome! She was fabulous with our reactive rescue pup. We got lots of pics and great communication. Our house seemed cleaner than when we left! We will book her again for sure!! Thank you!”

“Meghan is the absolute BEST! She’s so attentive, makes sure she’s got ALL of your pets needs addressed, and sends LOTS of update pics! She’s been in constant communication with me which puts me at ease! She’s awesome and cannot recommend her enough!! She WILL be asked to watch our fur baby (and ducks!) in the future ❤️”

“Elizabeth is the absolute best and I would recommend her to anyone!! She left the animals and the house in tip top shape, we are so grateful and hope to have her again.”


“Amy did an excellent job watching our dog Buddy and our home. She was very thoughtful with her questions during the meet and greet and very responsive throughout. Our house looked great when we got home. I would highly recommend”

“Kaden took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. The dogs were happy At the meet and greet meeting Kaden asked questions that would help him to best care for our pups and be respectful of our home. We will definitely ask him to care for them again!”

“Nicole was absolutely amazing. She is personable, kind, responsible, reliable and patient. We honestly thought it impossible for our extremely anxiety ridden pup to get comfortable with anyone, but somehow Nicole worked her way into Lulu’s heart and was able to get past the fear. Would that we could have Nicole as a dog sitter forever!”

“Marissa was fantastic! I will definitely use her again! My girls fell in love with her, and one likes to test people to see if she can gain control and run the house. Marissa was firm in who was in control, but loving to jot hurt feelings. She provided regular updates and together we got through some tummy issues to make it where I got back home. The house kitties, who were not part of her duties other than to accept snuggles, adored her as well. At one point she was surrounded by 2 dogs and 2 kitties touching her at once! When we got back, as excited as my dogs were to see me, they also looked around me to see if Marissa was there. My animals tell me all I need to know about a person, abd they adore her. Your pets will too!”

About: I've always had a dog throughout my entire life. At this current moment, I have 28 pets which include 1 dog, 1 bunny, 1 goat, 2 goats, and 23 chickens. During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs. If needed I can stay overnight with your pet to make sure he gets all of his bathroom breaks, water, and food!!
“Sydney is both very personable and professional. She bonded quickly with our dog and understood all of her care needs. We received daily photos at various times as well as text updates. We will be repeat clients and can't recommend her enough!”

“We had such a great experience with Emily! Taking care of three animals is no small task, but she handled everything with so much care, attention, and professionalism. From the start, communication was excellent — we always felt informed and reassured while we were away. It was clear our pets were not only well taken care of, but genuinely cared for. Each of them has their own personality and needs, and Emily took the time to understand and meet all of them. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-kept home, which says everything. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: Hi all! My name is Mariah and I live Raymond. I was raised with dogs and have one of my own, an Alaskan Malamute named Cosmo! I would love to take your pet on an evening stroll (anytime between 4:30p-9p) or come by and visit to feed/play/keep them company while you're away. If you need someone for a few evenings per week for walks, someone to feed your pup while you're temporarily away, or even on a more casual basis, please contact me as I would love to meet you and your best friend! -I also have experience giving meds and syringe feeding kittens. Mariah I work my full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-4 but I’m available anytime on weekends and I’m also available weekday evenings. Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun I’d prefer to stay in the Windham/Raymond/Casco area but Mon, Tues, Thurs I could also do Portland and Westbrook when I get out of work! If I was to come to your house I’m comfortable walking your dog in your neighborhood and I’m extra mindful of making sure your dog is safe and watched while in your yard if it’s not fenced!
“Julie is the best sitter I have ever had, and I have had many sitters. My dogs were calm and happy when I got home. They clearly got lots of attention. She responds to texts immediately and sends lots of great photos. My house is always spotless when I get home. I used her many times and she is always on point.”

“Heather was wonderful, my Husky pup seemed to feel very at ease with her and she understood him and his quirks very well. I also really appreciated all of the photos and updates she sent!”

“Sarah is wonderful! She stayed overnight with my dog for several days. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and energy level. She took her for long walks and to the dog park to run. She sent many photos and updates. I highly recommend!”

“Rachael absolutely crushed it. As someone with senior dogs who have specific preferences and routines (also are high-maintenance as heck), I’m very picky about their care when I’m not around. Rachael was communicative, gave updates unprompted and responded super quickly whenever I reached out. She was able to take on staying at my place with my 2 cats and 3 dogs on very short notice as well. I can’t say enough good things, 11/10”
About: I’ve had pets (ranging from dogs and cats all the way to bearded dragons and bunnies) for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up around animals and I’m now making it into my career! I’ve worked at a dog grooming salon for the past two summers, pet sit for the last 5 years, and am now shadowing at a veterinary office. I’m excited to gain more experience with animals as I look towards applying to veterinary school. I’m working part-time three days a week as a dog grooming assistant and shadowing at a veterinary office on Tuesdays. I’ll be available to pet sit for most of the week for the entirety of the summer, before I head back to college. I’m very vigilant with my own pets on always being leashed when outdoors, unless in a fenced in yard. I’m especially careful around open and closed doors, as I know how sneaky pets can be sometimes!
“Nishat was very accommodating considering we kept on changing the plan for the time we were leaving the day she was coming. She always takes great care of our animals!”

About: I’m Cody! I grew up with 3 dogs, and I worked at a dog daycare for over a year. I’ve done on and off pet-sitting and walking through craigslist and friends over the years as well. I have 2 cats and a rabbit at home, so I’m good with all different types of animals. I can do pet sitting, check ins, and walks. I have a car with a large backseat so I could also transport your pet to a park or a preferred walking trail if you’d like. I am available weekday mornings before 8am and afternoons after 4pm. My weekends are completely open! Thank you for considering me to hang out with your pets and I hope to hear from you soon! Cody
