House Sitting in Elmwood

“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 took excellent care of our dog who is currently recovering from heartworm. She communicated clearly and left our home clean and tidy. Her calm demeanor and attention to our training goals made it easy for us to be away for the weekend. We will definitely work with Sara again!”

“Meghan did an amazing job with my pup! She kept me updated on how everything was going during the week, and took great care of Coda. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to Meghan for future trips!”

“Elizabeth took excellent care of our dog while we were away for a weekend. Our dog is a rescue and sometimes takes a while to warm up to new people, but before the end of the first night of her stay Elizabeth had won her over. Elizabeth was respectful of our home and left things very tidy, and she also kept in communication throughout the weekend with lots of pictures and videos. Would highly recommend to anyone”

“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 stayed overnight and took wonderful care of our rambunctious lab. We returned to a well exercised and happy boy. We will definitely use him again.”

Karen C.

“Nicole was great with my dog and my house! She communicated daily with photos and updates and my house was spotless when I returned, linens in the dryer and everything in it's place.”

“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!!

“100/10 recommend Sydney. Did not worry one bit about my pets for my whole trip — received frequent updates without asking which I super appreciated. My shy girl warmed up to her instantly which says it all to me! So happy with my choice in a sitter and will book again :)”

“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!”

“Julie is an excellent sitter and she went above and beyond for us while watching our 1yr old chocolate lab puppy and house when we were on vacation. She made it really easy for us and had excellent communication the whole time, sending us updates while we were away to let us know our fur baby was OK. Julie was flexible to our needs and requests and really stepped up to help us and did an amazing job all around. When we came home, our house was very clean and our dog was very happy! All around great experience and I would highly recommend Julie and would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you SO much Julie you are the best and we really appreciate you!”

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!

“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!”

Kimberly L.

“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 absolutely phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our Ellie. She sent us updates, photos, and communication was top notch. She was devoted to our pup during their time together. We are truly happy and will definitely be using Nishat again!”
