Chloe was great - she sent very detailed messages and pics each day and the cats really seemed to like her. We came home and they acted like we hadn't even been gone (because Chloe took such good care of them). Chloe was lovely and we'd definitely use her again in future!

Mae has been absolutely phenomenal. I needed someone to watch my rats while away for the holidays, and Mae did a fantastic job caring for them. She always made sure to ask questions for additional clarification and kept me thoroughly updated on their health and well-being. Mae truly went above and beyond on their care and sent me regular photo and written updates on them. I am grateful to have landed in contact with her and to come home to see my rats happy and healthy.

Glendon was absolutely amazing with my two fur-babies! My boy doesn't warm up quickly to people but I can tell by the video and picture Glendon sent that Copper was a huge fan too! Excellent communication, timely and very attentive to any requests/special needs of my pups! Highly recommend and will be using him again!

Constance went WAY above and beyond for my fosters! She was patient and stayed over her time with Amelia who is a bit skiddish and reserved to help her get more comfortable. THEN!! Asked if she could help me pooper scoop!! I'm keeping her for all things dogs. Even offered her services at home with her dogs to help socialize my puppies!!! If there were 10 stars she would get them all.

About: Hi there! I am Emily and I am 29 years old and I have had animals my entire life! I have been around all types of animals from dogs and cats to horses and pigs! I began professionally dog watching about 14 years ago and fell in love with it. I have experience with many special diets, supplements and any other health issues. I can be active with the dogs or have a snuggle day with lots of belly rubs! Let me take care of your animals and become your life-long trusted animal sitter for all of your needs! I am located in the greater Bangor area but can travel further for house sitting bookings. I work 12 hour shifts on the weekends (Fri-Sun) so I am available Monday-Thursday 24/7. I can sometimes provide weekend care as my schedule and pet’s needs allow for it. Safety is my top priority. I abide by parent’s rules and can crate dogs, if crate trained. Dogs will remained leashed and collared when outside of fenced areas. Parental rules/guidance always prioritized.

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.

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.

Emily has sat for our 10 yr old lab/shepard mix Charlie many times, since he was a puppy. Whether it's a walk, a few hours, or a week, she always goes above and beyond what is necessary! Charlie loves seeing her because she gives him so much love. I trust her in our home completely!
