Cat Sitting in Lincolnville

“Tessa is a gem. Loki loved her during the “meet and greet”, as she was playing with him and petting him. She followed our instructions and took excellent care of him. We look forward to the next time she can watch him!”

“Couldn’t be happier! She took such good care of my boys! I think they really would not have minded me being gone longer. Will definitely be asking her to sit for them again. She was great! Thank you so much!”

“Andrea was spectacular and took such good care of my kitties! She was communicative, kind, thorough and went out of her way to provide the best care she could. I came home to healthy, happy cats who got their meds, were well fed and watered and had clean litter! She even brought our mail in and watered plants so they wouldn't die - along with a detailed daily checklist of everything she completed. We will absolutely try to rebook with Andrea when we need a sitter again and will recommend her to others in the area!”

About: I've been caring for people's furbabies for many years in my home and staying at the clients homes. I'm very patient and flexible in caring for these pups (and cats!). Let me know what you need, and I will figure out how to meet that need! I live in Marion and am more than willing to travel the region. Again, I am flexible and willing to negotiate! Let me help you relax. Don't worry while you are away, I will help your furbabies chill and have a vacation of their own. I am willing to tidy up your house while you are away too! Just let me know what you need and I'd be happy to help! I work a flexible schedule so I can rotate my work needs around your pet's needs, no worries, I will get what is needed done! You can trust me to be gentle with your pet and give them the care and safety they need. If they need walks, play time, whatever, I can provide!

Again, I am flexible and willing to think outside the box to meet the needs of your family. I communicate frequently with the client to best understand the needs of the furbabies. I will make sure the animals (and humans) have the opportunity to build a relationship to establish trust and confidence in my ability to provide high quality of care.

About: For my career I am a zookeeper taking care of all types of species from young to old. I have provided medical care and geriatric care. I currently work full time as a zookeeper and am looking for some side work that encompasses my passion of animals. Pet care is my full time job and full time home life. My pets have a fenced yard, an in/out kennel that allows them the freedom to be in or outside all day long. They have heat in the winter in the kennel and fans/fresh air in the summer. They stay in our home when we are home.

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs(including puppies) since I was around 10 years old. Family members and neighbors relied on me to pet sit their dogs. I do also have a little experience with senior dogs. I am not currently working so I have more than enough time to come visit, go on walks, and play with your pets multiple times a day. In a client’s home I can crate if needed, give potty breaks and clean up, give food and water, take them on walks, play with them, and if the yard if fenced I can let them run around.

About: My name is Sarah and I have had a lifelong love for animals. Aside from my personal experiences, I have been working with and training dogs for over 8 years now. I am a professional dog trainer that is certified through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA). I focus on building a relationship with the dogs and helping the owners communicate effectively! Training can be done in my home, your home or in public. If you are in need of day or overnight care, I can also help! After we have met and introduced, I would determine if your dog would be a good fit to stay the night with us while you and your family go out of town. Each dog is part of the family when they’re here! We enjoy playing in our large fenced yard, going on walks/hikes, and cuddling on the couch. Dogs will be staying in a crate whenever they are unsupervised, eating, and at night. Owners must also provide an up-to-date vaccination record and NEGATIVE parasite fecal test. I am currently a stay at home parent, in addition to taking care of our 5 dogs and Kitty! My days revolve around playing, exercising, and training with the dogs. Our yard is secured with a 6 foot privacy fence. We have baby gates throughout the home to separate, as needed. Each dog has their own crate to eat and sleep in.

About: I have had pets my entire life, and I've also helped friends and family care for their pets when they were away or otherwise unable to do so. Personally, I have three cats, three dogs, and one miniature parakeet. Animals, big and small, I love them all. I am a teacher, so my evening, weekend, and summer hours are very flexible. I am able to drop by to care for pets, can stay in your home if that works best for you, and can drop by for feedings, outdoor breaks, and walks. In your home, I will follow your directions to ensure that your pets have consistency and receive the care they need. Communication is a strong trait for me, and I will be sure to communicate with you about any questions that might arise.

About: I grew up on a small farm with a few farm animals along with a couple family dogs. I also worked at a dog boarding and training facility. While working there I gained a lot of knowledge about our fury friends. I can administer oral medicines, complete various types of meals, and watch for social cues I’m familiar with. I do not own any dogs of my own currently. My partner and I have a cat. She gets fed on a schedule, lots of playtime, and of course lots of snuggles. I miss working at the boarding facility and having daily interactions with amazing animals. I look forward to meeting your sweet pups. In my experience with animals I’ve learned to be very observant. I can keep an eye out for social cues while having fun and caring for your fur babies.

About: I’ve had experience caring for horses, cats, and dogs. I have nursed many cats back to health in my youth on the farm. I have trained my two puppies and am happy to help in any way possible. I do have experience with diabetes and insulin injections. Senior care with blindness, deafness, and senility is something I’ve very familiar with as well. I am a stay at home dog mom of 3 and cat mom of 1 and have an open schedule to help care for your pets too. I am meticulously tidy and respectful of homes. I am honest and trustworthy and treat your home as I treat my own. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy environment while you’re away and for your pets to be as stress free as possible.

I currently work full time Monday-Thursday. Here for you long weekend needs or even just evening needs. Very flexible schedule in winter and early spring. I care for them as if they were my own.

About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.
