“Debbie has a safe and wonderful set up for boarding your dog. My dog Peter loved it there. He played and socialized with other dogs and was very well cared for. Debbie was great about updates and sending pics and videos of our boy each day! Will definitely board Peter with Debbie again!”

“My boy Peter had a great stay with Karen. She was kind enough to pick him up to save me time. I was sent a short update with a photo everyday. I don’t think he was excited to leave. I will book Peter a stay again in the future.”

“Second time booking Kirk, and everything was just as great this time around! Kirk watched my dog for nine nights over the holidays while I was out of town. I got picture/video updates every day, and he continued to make my shy/anxious guy feel comfortable and happy. He even took him out to the large open area near his place where he could run around and have fun off leash. Super appreciative of Kirk and highly recommend!”

“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”

About: I have had a dog for 14 years and a cat for 9 years, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I take pride in giving each animal the same level of love and attention I give my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the day but have plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends to dedicate to pets. My schedule allows me to give them lots of attention after work for walks, playtime, and cuddles, as well as focused care throughout the weekend. I make sure each pet’s needs fit naturally into my routine so they always get consistent love, care, and companionship. I care for dogs and cats as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and litter care, and I always take time to understand each pet’s unique personality. Since I have cats at home, I can only host dogs who are calm and friendly with feline friends. My goal is to keep everyone happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“My Australian Shepherd, Remi, had a great time with Melissa. I know Remi was well cared for and incorporated into their family activities including walks and hikes. I know Remi will be excited to return for another visit.”

“Cannot thank charlotte and her husband enough for all their help this last weekend. They were amazing with our pup and have such a great little spot. Charlotte was so sweet and super communicative which is always so nice and reassuring. Would highly recommend them and can't wait for our next visit!”

“Kate was simply wonderful for Poppy. Our instructions were carried out to a T, and Kate sent me lots of pictures and daily updates on her. I was not worried at all as I knew Poppy was getting the best care while I was away.”

“Daisy did a great job taking care of my precious dog Bailey on 10/26/23! She sent unsolicited pictures and texts throughout her stay to keep me up to date with how things were going and was very quick to respond whenever I texted her! Lastly, when I picked her up, Bailey was all brushed out and looking great!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs growing up in my household and was the main caretaker until my dog was 16 years old. I currently have a 3 year old golden, so I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I’ve been a consistent sitter for friends and family over the past few years and have been an active dog walker on other apps for the last 5. Whether your dog has puppy energy and needs a big hike or walk, or your dog needs a slow, gentle care, I’m ready to give your dog the attention they need. I’m current working part time on weekends. But during the week, am very flexible. i would be the perfect person to take your dog out in the middle of the day, while you’re at work! I make sure I understand your dogs needs. What is there daily routine? Do they have allergies, health concerns, or medicine needed? Are there behavioral tendencies I should be aware of (aggression, anxiety, socialization)? These will help me understand how to best care for your dog.
About: As a pet lover for my entire life, I am very open to who I will take in. I have taken care of my family’s dogs and cats. As well as friends’ pets as well. Not just our small pets. I worked on my family farm in the middle of Maine near Dover-Foxcroft. That included Horses, chickens, occasionally some cows and donkeys. I would love to take care of your pets for whenever you need me to. Just give me any details about them. Medical, whether they are in heat, spayed or neutered. I will be sure to accommodate accordingly. You can contact me via email, call, or text. For those who need service at their home, I would gladly organize that with you as well. Small, medium and large pets are all welcomed. As for cancellations and early pickups, I will do my best to be as flexible as I can. As this is for the pet, not the money. ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and I’m a mom of a little boy. I have pets of my own that I take care of on a daily basis. I have integrated my son into my pets lives and they’re all best friends. Being with animals has always been a major part of my life! Currently not offering in home services, or house sitting services. However, when checking in or walking pups I do make sure water bowl is filled if I notice it’s low and I make sure to bring a pop up water bowl on long walks in the summer.
About: I know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. I am currently in school part time and I work as a house cleaner on the days that I do not have school. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them, while checking on the pups throughout the day and staying overnight with the pups! My partner, his 6 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together. While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!
“We used to leave Rigby with the same pet sitter for many years, upon their closing we had yet to find a reliable pet sitter other than family and friends. We saw Krista's reviews and decided to try it out for a weekend. I am so glad we did, Krista cared for Rigby in her home just how we were used to! I will definitely be using her services in the future!”

“If anybody is looking for a great dog sitter, Molly is it! She absolutely loves dogs. Her dog Lenny is super chill and is so happy to have dogs come over and play. Molly will love them like they're her own. Thanks so much for your excellent service!”

“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: Animal lover who has had dogs and cats since I was young. My family and friends know they can rely on me to care for their pets because they know I will care for them as if they are my own. I am a registered nurse and I work 12 hour shifts, which means I work 3 days a week and have the other days available to care for your pets! I live toward the end of a dead end road. My house sits at an adequate distance away from the road and I have an open yard with plenty of room for your pets to play.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with special needs dogs for about 7 years and am experienced and handling and giving medication. I work at dog daycare when I’m at college and looking for a way to continue my love for animals when I’m home. I am currently not working any job and taking online summer course for college so I have 100% open availability and can come at any time. I don’t have a fenced yard but access to a park near by. I have 1 dog if your dog enjoys company. I also have 2 houses so if you have a more independent dog I can provide a space where they can be alone with no other animals
