“Britt was extremely accommodating, flexible, and professional. She was very calm and loving with my pups (one of which is anxious and leery). Definitely recommend and will be asking for her help in the future myself.”
“Ashley was wonderful and went above and beyond for our lab, Baron. She came by to meet us before the visits. It is obvious that she cares for animals and Baron took to her right away. Ashley played with Baron in the backyard and send photos showing us what a good time he was having. We will definitely contact her again if we have another trip where Baron can’t come.”

About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.
About: I grew up with 3 dogs at a time, if not more, for most of my life. I’ve had 4 cats. I also grew up with nine goldfish caught from the fair that are all still alive today. I currently have one family dog, one family cat, and nine goldfish. I am a full time student at USM and an active member of the sorority, Delta Delta Delta. I will make this job one of my top priorities. At home, my dog is well trained and she is an outside and inside dog. She loves going on boat rides and we make sure that she gets plenty of love all the time. For clients, I will precisely follow instructions and treat the client’s pet like my own.
About: I grew up rescuing dogs all of my life & have personally taken care of pets in my home as well as in their homes. I have reliable references to back it up. Your pets care is my top priority. I work part time & have a very flexible schedule. Children are at school during the day. I have 2 dogs & 1 cat of my own. I have a fenced in back yard & large vehicle for transporting animals. If service is required at your home I have reliable transportation. Also experienced with cage trained animals.
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember. We keep our pets until they pass that rainbow bridge. I am very reliable and will always send updated photos every time I am with your pet to remind you they are in good hands. I am also experienced with large breeds and the tiniest of pets! Early mornings before school, or in the evenings are great as well. I usually sit outside with a cup of coffee in the morning so they can run around, then in the evening the door is open with free roam to come in & out. If care is done in my home we have a fenced-in backyard and two of our own dogs to play with. I also have two playful children who can play fetch for hours! If care is done in your home depending on being watched in a fenced backyard or on a leash. Your dog will be watched and given the attention they deserve.

About: I have grown up with having at least 3 dogs in my family at a time, pets are definitely family. I love animals and have always had a passion for any type of animal. I would love to take care of yours! I have 2 dogs of my own, Murphy & Niko.Murph is a small Terrier mix and is 4 years old. Niko is a 3 year old lab/german shepard mix. I’m a stay at home mom with my toddler. I would be glad to stop by and let your pet out and visit with them.

I’m usually at home or in town all week unless I go out of town. Reach out to me and i’ll see if i’m available!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was young and have plenty of experience with being a sitter. I also have a degree in biology/zoology which provides me work more information on the furry friends I work with. I am currently a pilates instructor who makes my own schedule so I am plenty flexible. I will most likely be available on the weekends. I live in a safe apartment with my husband. We have no pets or kids. We have a large field in the back of our apartment which would be great for a leashed fur baby to play in.
About: I have dog sat for many years now for 3 toy poodles and the occasional Yorkie. I’ve given lots of love, baths, attempted grooming, and given them lessons in Spanish. Not only that, I’ve also owned cats for the better part of 11 years. Currently am not working, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available primarily Monday-Friday and can drop in to check on your fur family from 7 AM - 6 PM. I am very punctual in taking dogs outside for potty time and during feeding time. Because I do not have a fenced in yard, I am unable to care for larger dogs. I tend to have many petting sessions and napping sessions with the dogs I care for and will do the same for your furry companions.

Laura Lee was a great fit for our two shy kitties. They are young and not use to being away from us but Laura Lee definetly knows cats, how to quietly approach them and comfort them so they can get use to us leaving them for periods of time. We feel so fortunate to have met her and will absolutely use her again as she is a real keeper!
Ashley was a fantastic choice to take care of my pup Ollie while I was traveling! She’s kind, attentive, and sends great photos during the visits! Ashley picked up this booking as a last minute request, but it never felt like an afterthought. I would absolutely recommend her services!
