“We are so lucky to have found Glendon!! As always, he proves to be reliable, kind, and overall amazing. Our pup loves him too! Looking forward to having him over again and again :)”
“This was our first time having Chloe house sit for us. We have a senior dog, and a bunny. We’ve used other sitters before, and Chloe is the best we’ve had. After 5 days away we return to happy animals, and the house was clean, and tidy. She even went above and beyond watering all our plants, and our garden. Great communicator. Plenty of pictures of our happy pets. Highly recommend Chloe as a sitter.”
“Emily was amazing! She's very communicative, seemed genuinely thrilled to get to know our animals, and left our house exactly as she found it. Loved having her pet sit for us and will definitely request her in the future. Thank you Emily!”
About: Hi, I'm Greta, and I'm thrilled to offer my pet-sitting services! As a lifelong animal lover, I've always felt a special connection with our furry, friends. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to horses. This early exposure taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and responsible care. I believe that every pet is unique and deserves personalized attention. Whether it's a playful pup who needs plenty of exercise or a timid kitty who prefers gentle cuddles, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your beloved companions. I'm experienced in feeding, walking, administering medication, and, most importantly, showering pets with love and affection. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they'll be treated like family. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can stay connected and worry-free while you're away. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and create a positive and memorable experience for everyone!" My schedule tends to stay pretty open. I work at a cafe, but my shifts are usually just 4-7 hours so I can provide full care outside of that time. I care for pets according to whatever their needs are. I will happily follow any instructions given to me, whether the pet needs special medication or specific care, I am open to most.
“Della was amazing! She took excellent care of our dog and chickens while we were away. It’s obvious that she truly cares about animals and was very considerate of our home space in and outdoors. Great communication and beautiful picture updates made us feel comfortable being away from our pets. 10/10 recommend Della!”
About: I majored at the University of Maine in animal and veterinarian sciences with a Prevet concentration. I have had the honor to work in vet offices, in zoos and on farms. So I have been around many different types of animals in multiple ways. I believe that all animals are the most selfless, caring beings and truly are a man’s best friend. Everyone I know, refers to me as an animal lover and because of the veterinarian side, I will always make sure to keep an eye out on your animals health as well. I have plenty of time to be attentive and spend with your animal :). I even included the days where I can housesit full-time preferably, which would be over the weekend and into Monday. But obviously, there can always be exceptions, all I ask is for a check in/heads up. For housesitting, I will obviously follow any guidelines you leave me, whether that be walking your animal on a leash or some type of harness; or letting them out into a fenced in area. I will follow feeding guidelines and anything else that is a concern of yours.
“Our pups were so happy with Kirsten. She walked them daily cuddled with them and sent lots of pics to let us know how things were going. She was amazing and we would not hesitate to book with Kirsten again. Great experience for all of us!”
