About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years to my own pets, as well as caring for and spoiling others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor only cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I sit for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, with flexible scheduling to fit last-minute requests and regular routines alike. Whether your pet needs a quiet, cage-free home base, a midday potty break, or overnight company so they're never alone, I'm happy to tailor my care to what works best for them. A few things that set my care apart: - If your pet uses a crate at home, or if they tend to get anxious or chew things when unattended, I do ask that a crate is provided for overnight bookings. I do not have a spare crate on hand. One of my family dogs is crated at night, one is not. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs. - Competitive, transparent rates — no surprise fees. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed if I am provided with a feeding schedule. I have a flock of my own and have sat for friends over the last 8+ years. I can provide references if necessary. My pets are up to date on their vaccinations and flea preventatives. I have homeowners insurance, additional insurance, am well versed in loving on pets, and committed to being reliable and responsive — you'll always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'd love to meet you and your pet for a free Meet & Greet before your first booking! My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our furry guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience to accommodate that as necessary. We do not have extra crates at this time, so for overnight bookings we do ask that their crate is provided to us, but we do have the space in our home to accommodate that. All outdoor trips are on-leash as we do not have a fenced yard at this time, however we can provide long walks to adequately tire your pup out. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I do not wander around the home; it is strictly in and out, fill water and food as necessary, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for both your pets and your home.

“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”

“Gabrielle has been wonderful with my pup and has been taking care of her for several weeks now! She always updates me with pictures throughout the visit and dotes on my pup, always leaving her happy and full of snacks. She’s experienced with puppies and training and always gives me feedback and advice!”

About: I've had dogs all of my life. All of my dogs I rescued, Rosco from North Carolina, Athena from Puerto Rico, Otis a Maine resident (my other half best friend) ,Piglet from Georgia and Thia from Saint Thomas. I've always had a love and special way with dogs. It's all about time and patience they are 4 legged kids. Ive introduced a senior dog who was not fond of other dogs to his new sister and they lived happily in the house together. I've had alot of experience with senior dogs dealing with hip issues and mobility. I am also a pitbull mom so I know all about their attitude. I have went through obedient school and have learned alot and plain on continue training not just for my self but for the dogs we have to be trained just as much as they do. I'm currently working 7 to 3 M-F but have time at night and on weekends in my daily schedule that I would love to fill and what better way then spending with animals. I treat my pets as if they are kids because they are my kids! I'm a dog mom. My dogs have a fenced in back yard they always run around in.

With extensive experience in training puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets, I ensure that each animal receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to tailor activities and routines to suit individual personalities and requirements sets me apart, creating a comfortable and enriching experience for pets under my care. From basic obedience training to gentle senior companionship, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that fosters trust and happiness for both pets and their owners. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. I live in a private association and have a sizable, secluded yard that borders a stream and pond. Since I work remotely from home four days a week and have summers off, pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine. Each morning, I dedicate time to feeding, walking and playing with my pets before diving into work tasks. Throughout the day, I take short breaks to ensure they receive attention and exercise. During the summer months, I have the flexibility to extend our outdoor adventures and spend quality time bonding with them on the the trails or swimming. Regular grooming sessions, vet appointments, and training sessions are also scheduled into my weekly agenda to ensure their overall well-being. Essentially,d pets are an integral part of my daily and weekly rhythms. I provide pets with a quiet space, leash walks in safe areas, and separate feeding spots to ensure comfort and safety. I integrate visiting pets with my own for socialization and play. Opportunity for off-leash adventures for dogs with great recall. I have a sizable, secluded yard away from traffic.

About: Hiya! My name is Kristen, and I’m so excited to meet the pets and families of the Standish area! I have a unique background in animal care, with 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and over a year working in a doggy daycare. I also spent the past 5 years pet sitting for clients from my veterinary hospital in South Portland, building trusted relationships with over 20 families. My veterinary background gives me extensive experience with medication administration, injections, senior pets, special needs animals, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, elderly pets, pets with medical needs, and a variety of animals including goats and chickens. Your pets’ safety and comfort will always be my top priority, and I will communicate quickly to you, and sometimes shoot a personal text to a veterinarian friend, if any concerns arise while you’re away. My love for animals extends far beyond cats and dogs! I’ve cared for all kinds of creatures, from scales and feathers to even blubber. I had the amazing opportunity to intern with Marine Mammals of Maine, where I helped rehabilitate Harbor Seals. I am also a proud pet mom to two cats of my own, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your animals. My fiancé and I recently moved to Standish, and I’m looking forward to bringing my years of animal care experience to families in this community. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, playtime, enrichment, or simply a little love while you’re away, I will treat them like they are my own and keep your mind at peace. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or not-so-furry) family members! I currently work full time at the Maine Medical Center as an x-ray tech, but I have most weekends off and a lot of week days off. I also can do visits daily. I prefer in-home sitting, which allows me to provide house sitting as well. I love being able to keep pets comfortable in their own environment where they feel safest, while maintaining their normal routines, feeding schedules, medications, and daily habits. I’m happy to help care for your home while you’re away by bringing in mail, keeping things tidy, and making sure everything is secure. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pets and your home are being cared for while you’re gone.

“Hannah is the BEST!!! I had to be in and out of town for work for two weeks, although my schedule was not consistent at all Hannah was up for the last-minute challenge of watching over Maisey and adhering to my crazy schedule. Hannah showed up on time and spent her time with Maisey (a true senior citizen) giving her the love and attention I hoped for. Turns out I have another crazy week coming up and Hannah was quick to sign up for more visits. Hannah is a true 5 star!!!”

“Danielle has been a reliable, conscientious helper with visiting my anxious rescue dog while I’m at work. I recommend her very highly to anyone looking for help with doggy care!”

Becca H.

“Brianna did a great job taking care of my Boston terrier mix, Gunnar. He's a new dog to me although he's 7 years old, so I shared with her what I know about him, and they got along famously. She was very responsive and communicated well from the first contact, to setting up the meet and greet, to the day she came for two drop in visits while I was gone for a very long day. She took some very sweet photos of Gunnar and told me all about their activities, so I knew he was having as good a day as he could have, being alone except for her two visits. She gave him his treats and took him for walks, and it looks like they had a good time. He was happy when I got home and hadn't touched a thing in the house. I would highly recommend Brianna for your pet!”

Anne G.

“Liz is fantastic! she has been incredibly patient with my shy kitty. it’s obvious by her care and attention that she knows and loves animals. she is trustworthy, considerate, and communicative. She is my go to person for drop in visits.”

Aimee B.

“Eliot dropped in to visit our pup Beau for us while we were at work and we were very happy with her service! She came to meet Beau and see our space ahead of time, was mindful of Beau’s excited greetings, and was flexible when our schedules needed to change. Beau had a great time playing with Eliot and we felt confident and comfortable with her!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover for all 26 years, but I’d say I’ve been able to take care of dogs for 20. I’ve had four different family dogs I’ve helped raise. I was a friends personal dog walker for about a year, but I moved. My grandmother bred and boarded dogs most of her life so I grew up around dogs with someone who knows a lot about them. I’ve also helped friends raise and somewhat train their puppies. I believe I’m different from other dog walkers because I’m not just doing it as a job, I will love your dog as my own and will enjoy helping with them. I’m looking to see all dogs but I could also sit them if you ever needed or wanted! And I love all dog breeds and sizes I can handle them all. I’m currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open to help you with your cats and or dogs in my free time I will love your pets as if they’re my own. I’ll gladly take them for walks or play with them based off what you ask me to do!

“Heather is the best! She cared for our 15-year old cat who had some special needs, and Heather went above and beyond and gave him all the love and attention he needed. We couldn't be happier!”

Dave K.

“Jennifer has a heart for animals and did a good job caring for my bunnies. She left their pens super clean which was definitely going above and beyond! She was also willing to do an extra check on them when I was concerned for them. She asked good questions about their care and spent a lot of time with them.”

Sarah K.

“I was in a last minute punch after a cat sitter changed plans last minute. Nishat was exceptionally responsive and swooped in and saved the day! She also took great care of my kittens!”
