1. Gillian L.
“Gillian was amazing! My partner and I went to CA to live it up and I’ve always had family watch my puppers. When I met Gillian, I knew right away she was going to be a good fit and sitter for my fur babies. She was responsive and responsible. She has an amazing attitude and energy about her. Gillian even tidied up my house so when we got back, we could just settle right back in! 🤯We surely will be using her again (if she’ll have us ☺️) Thank you Giselle…I mean Gillian!!!! 😜”
2. April M.
“April did an amazing job with my two Bernese mountain dogs. She gave constant updates and I felt very comfortable that everything was well taken care of. My home was exactly how I left it. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for sure.”
3. Tarsha & Dexter H.
“My dog can be a handful so it was important for me to choose the right caregivers while I was away. Tarsha and Dexter were/are those right caregivers. They obtained as much information about my pets and home as possible so they could be prepared for anything unexpected that might happen. This made me feel comfortable that if something should happen they would successfully handle it. (Thankfully, nothing popped up!). The light housekeeping was also extremely appreciated. The last time I left my dog she refused to eat toward the end of my time away and that didn't happen with Tarsha and Dexter. I came home to a dog that was clearly loved and cared for in my absence. I will definitely look to book Tarsha and Dexter first when I need dog care again. Thank you Tarsha and Dexter!”
4. Wyatt G.
“Wyatt was able to accommodate a last minute request for watching Duke in my home. Great communication and loved getting the pics.”
5. Grace B.
“Grace was so wonderful with Annie and Ollie and our home! She gave us daily updates and pics. We also appreciated how well she communicated with us. We will definitely book her again!!”
6. Melissa H.
“Melissa took excellent care of our pups while we were away for the weekend! She kept in touch and sent pics and videos of them frequently. Our house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs were well loved and cared for. Melissa is great with animals and made us feel good about leaving the dogs with her. She is friendly, communicative, and upbeat- a great sitter!”
7. Jason F.
“Jason did a great job looking after my Tucker and Trixie. Even suffered through my pestering him as this was the first time I've used a service like this with a smile. I was nervous. Lol. Would definitely use Jason again.”
8. Elizabeth C.
“The dogs adored Elizabeth and seem very content. She was really communicative and timely. I really felt like I could trust my fur babies with her while I had to leave town. We really look forward to working with her in the future!”
9. Alexis V.
“Alexis is a wonderful cat sitter! She is professional and sent photos of our cats during her visit. We will continue to have her come by when we need a cat sitter.”
10. Lilly G.
“Lilly saved us after our dog had knee surgery. We had a vacation planned and she couldn't go to her normal kennel, so Lilly housesat and kept our dog entertained without letting her wreck the knee repair. She was very prompt, kept us updated and our house was immaculate when we got home. So grateful, highly recommend her services!”
11. Michael L.
“We’ve been lucky to have Michael L. care for our pets, Eli and Juniper, and we can’t recommend him enough! Michael has a natural gift with animals—Eli and Juniper are always excited to see him, which speaks volumes about the trust and bond they’ve developed with him. Whether it’s for a walk, a play session, or simply some TLC while we’re away, Michael treats our pets like family. He’s attentive, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for our beloved pets. Thank you, Michael, for your exceptional care and love for Eli and Juniper!"”
12. Geoffery O.
“Geoffery took great care of our dogs and farm animals!! We were away for two days for a family wedding and it was helpful leaving our dogs with someone we felt we could trust. Geoffery visited us to meet the dogs and learn how to take care of things a couple of weeks before he cared for them, which was good to ensure it would all work out. While we were gone we received a few updates, which was nice and reassuring, and when we got home our dogs were tired and happy! Geoffery had taken them on so many walks and made sure all their needs were met. We will definitely request to book again for our next family wedding!”
13. Erin D.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little kid and helped my parents at my uncle’s farm. I truly love all animals and enjoy their individual personalities. I have experience dog/house sitting dating back to 2000 in the Camden area. Since we moved last year, I’m looking to meet new clients and help you with your furry loved one in the Waterville area. I worked in animal hospitals in my early 20s so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from in many areas (but not exotic pets, as none of the veterinarians I worked with had that as a specialization.) I’m currently working from home doing some freelance work and have many opportunities to go for walkies. We are currently without a dog in our home, and I’m looking to get out more. Any pet I take care of is treated as if they’re a member of the family. I believe in spoiling pets with love, but keeping the boundaries of the owner so as not to undo any training. Reinforcing good behavior is always a priority.
14. Bryanna M.
“Bryanna is an exceptional pet caregiver, combining responsibility with genuine love for animals. She is attentive to every detail of a pet’s needs, from feeding schedules to playtime, ensuring their safety and happiness. I highly recommend Bryanna for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring person to look after their pets.”
15. Abundance D.
“Abundance did an amazing job taking care of our two girls in our home. Will definitely use again!”
16. Jessica S.
About: I provide one-on-one, personalized care, ensuring each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with senior pets, dogs with anxiety, and those with special medical or dietary needs. I send daily updates with pictures, so you’re always in the loop about how your pet is doing. I offer flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings, and I’m always reliable—your pet’s care comes first. For active dogs, I can offer long walks, hiking trips, and plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re exercised and entertained. I am self employed and manage my day to day schedule with lots of flexibility. I am happy to coordinate my schedule to accommodate you and your pet's needs! When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment that caters to each pet’s specific needs. My home is fully pet-proofed and provides cozy spaces for lounging, sleeping, and playing. I ensure that pets have access to toys, beds, and safe areas to explore. I follow the pet's regular feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent. I take time to learn about their habits to make them feel at home. Depending on the pet’s needs, I offer regular walks, backyard play, or indoor activities to ensure they stay active and happy. If the pet is anxious or shy, I provide a quiet space to relax and make sure they feel secure with gradual introductions to new surroundings. In your home I maintain the pet’s normal routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I ensure their home is kept tidy and comfortable for both them and the pet parent. Many pets feel more secure in their familiar environment. I take care to create a calm atmosphere by minimizing disruptions and ensuring they have their favorite toys, bed, and comfort items. I offer tailored care based on the pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, specific diets, or behavioral routines. Just like in my home care, I update the client regularly with pictures and reports, ensuring they are always in the loop.
17. Rachel Y.
“Rachel is one of the most caring people in the world with animals. Not only has she taken in animals no one else cared for, she’s gone above and beyond for the animals in her life that aren’t even hers”
18. Emma B.
“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”
19. Gabriel K.
About: I’ve worked with animals all of my life, I recently was a canine/feline technician at my job and am now the canine manager. I’ve worked with animals big and small, and that includes farm animals as well.

20. Shiela C.
“Shiela has cared for multiple of my pets countless times and I couldn’t be more pleased, she loves animals more than anything and you can tell just by how quickly she is able to connect with them. Anytime she would show up to take care of any of my pets they would go bezerk seeing her. They were always well cared for in her hands. They would always be playing, going for walks, any time I needed help with pet sitting she was always there. I think Shiela is the best person to be taking care of anyone’s pets.”
