About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 5 years, with experience ranging from daily visits to long-term stays. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and needs, including those who require medication or special diets. 🐾 I work from home, which means I can spend the majority of the day keeping your pets company, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. 🏡 I’ve grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes from tiny Teacup Pomeranians to gentle Irish Wolfhounds and I adore cats just as much. My priority is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by keeping your pets happy and your home well cared for. I also love sending regular updates and photos so you can see your furry family is safe, happy, and in loving hands. ❤️ *I am willing to travel for pet-house sitting longer distances* I work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to be with your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s taking them for walks, playing in the yard, or just keeping them company while they nap, I’m able to give them plenty of attention and care. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches, they’ll have a buddy by their side. 🐾 I am offering pet care, & house sitting in a clients home, walking, feedings, and maintaining your home. I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies, with the same love and care as my own pets.

“Puppy seemed very happy with her walk. Jennifer is very responsive and professional.”

“Recently Aleisha did dog walking, check ins for over a 6 week period. She did house sitting for us over a five day trip and found her to be extremely responsible and responsive to all of our two dogs needs. One of our dogs has extreme separation anxiety and is very timid and has difficulty trusting new people. Aleisha came for dog walks a few weeks before our trip and gained Sadie's' trust over that period. While we were away, Sadie accepted Aleisha wholeheartedly. Upon our return, the dogs were excited but very calm and at ease – a real departure from other vacation experiences. Aleisha also spent several nights at our home house sitting. Again we found her to be a true pro and very reliable and respectful. We would have no problem using her again and would recommend her services to anyone who would ask. As a matter of fact, we will be using Aleisha for occasional walks to keep in touch with Sadie and keep their bonds intact. Just such a pleasure to have someone as reliable and trustworthy for both us and our pets.”

About: I have owned and cared for animals for the past 30 years. I grew up on my grandparents farm helping take care of a variety of animals. I worked for 3 years in a veterinary clinic and worked in an emergency as well. I currently own a small farm of my own and plan on providing the best and most fun experience to any pet that I provide care for. I am currently looking to build a client base to begin building my own business of pet sitting and pet care. I have a flexible availability to provide services. I currently own a small farm of my own with horses, goats, chickens, dogs and cats. I have a vast knowledge of animal health needs and care needs. I am open to providing services at client's homes and am available to travel.

About: Your pet's health and happiness is my priority and I will follow instructions to the smallest detail. I absolutely adore all animals! I've grown up with dogs and cats, and have spent at least 3 years pet sitting. I currently own two crazy senior cats who I'm obsessed with. In the recent past I had two sweet and mellow rescue pups. Throughout my childhood I took it upon myself to take care of the family pets. Looking after animals comes naturally to me and you can count on me to be that person at a party who spends more time with the cat than the people. I am available most days and times and am able to be pretty flexible. Weekends can get a little busy but I can fit a visit or two in if needed. Every day I pay attention to the animal's health and mood. I'm quick to notice if something is amiss and take care of it right away while communicating closely with the owner.

“Great communication, and I really appreciated the pictures ☺️ Finley looks like he had a great time on his walk!”

About: I work year-round at a summer camp, and I love to take care of animals on the side. I can come to your home and look after your dog where they might be more comfortable. I have a cat at home, but I am missing my time living with dogs, so I thought that this would be the perfect compromise! I am also available to take care of any cats or other small animals that you may have at your home. When camp is not in session, I work remotely. That means I can work wherever there is wifi! More time to spend with your fur babies. I can do whatever works best for both of our schedules. I love having dogs (and cats!) come to my house, but sometimes I think it's easier for them to stay in the environment where they are the most comfortable. I am willing to accommodate what you think is best for your pet.

About: I love to foster animals of all kinds, as well as take care of my own cats and chickens! I wish I could take on the time commitment for a pup of my own but working long weekends makes it impossible. I have a fenced in back yard, and grew up with large dogs. I love each pet that I get to take care of as my own! I work as a waitress Thursday night through Sunday, leaving me with a lot of week day availability! I take care of my chickens (feed, water, collects eggs) daily and give lots of love to my cats as much as they let me. I have a fenced in back yard and a great quiet neighborhood to walk animals in. My parents have 2 large dogs that I grew up helping take care of. I make sure to give lots of love and attention to all animals, as well as ensuring they’re fed and taken out!

About: I know dogs need exercise, discipline, and affection. I know it can be challenging to find the right pet care that is trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to give your pet the care they need! I am a massage therapist for part of the week and I homeschool my children when I’m not working. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have extra time to fill here and there with pet care. I will feed, walk, or give your animals attention based on clients request and animals requirements. Whether it’s In the yard, taking them for a walk or just sitting petting them, I’ll give them what they need.

About: Hii!! I’m a patient, caring sitter with 3 years of experience of caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’m skilled at giving medications, calming anxious pets, and provided the attention your furry baby needs. I’m happy to send frequent updates to keep you at ease, treating your pet with all the love and care they deserve. I am currently looking for some time to spend with pets when I am not working. I have a passion to be with animals and it brightens my day to help someone and spend time with a cute furry pet. I love to be active and create an environment that the pets can thrive and be loved. I have free time throughout the week to tend to their needs and get them out of the house or play with them to get their jitters out. For dogs, I love to play with them and go for walks or runs so they can go explore. For cats, I make sure their environment is clean and give them constant snuggles and comfort.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15 mostly for my moms coworkers and family members who were going on trips. I would stay overnight for them and watch over their pets. I've fed, watched, bathed, and walked their pets for a day or overnight at times as well. I'm currently working part time but only work on Tuesdays from 3:30-5 as of right now. My classes end relatively early but also start later depending on the day so early/mid-day/evening walks/visits are very flexible with my classes and work schedule. I need another source of income and LOVE dogs :) I will give your pet 100% of my attention the entire time I am at your home. I will take them on walks if you request me to and I will play with them until they fall asleep. I will give your dog as much love and care as I would give my own.

About: My fourth birthday I asked for a dog, and continued to do so every birthday thereafter. Growing up my family was not in a position to have a pup, so I found every other way to engage with them. I walked family and friends dogs, pet sat, and read all the books about dogs and cats I could find in my little school library. As an adult I have been graced with the opportunity to rescue my own pup, and have since learned a whole slew of new skills and knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, reactivity, nervousness, and anxiety. (Let's just say my rescue experience really gave me a crash course in how trauma can effect dogs well after they are safe in a home). I have done hours of research (and application of that research) into how to effectively train and respond to behaviors. I personally prescribe to a positive reinforcement system and 'protecting their bubble' dual training method. I would love to meet you and your pup, and find out how I can best help to meet your dogs needs for a happy and healthy life! I'm currently working part time summer hours. I work in behavioral health care for kids and have plenty of time available to care for your pet! My dog is a rescue and we put in time training every day to help build her confidence and trust in the world. She's very nervous of other people and dogs, so unless it seems like a really great fit personality wise between our dogs, I will love providing your pup love, walks, and engagement in your home or out in the community! I prescribe to positive reinforcement training and protecting a dogs bubble. I would love to hear about your dog and that they need. You are their expert and I am here to provide you both support how ever you may need it. If your dogs is like mine and doesn't get along with other dogs, I know lots of places to walk and adventure where it's easy to avoide other pups and also have strategies use if we do come across them such as the Banana method, and training a "center" position, and skills and drills to do before a walk to ensure a dogs engagement and focus is on me before the walk.

About: I am an animal lover who would love to provide care to your pet so you don't have to worry about leaving them at home while you're at work or on vacation! My services include dog-walking, drop-in visits to check on and play with your pup, overnight boarding if you're away on vacation (at my home or yours), or dog-sitting for the day while you're at work. I have experience with volunteering at various animal shelters, caring for dogs on Rover for several years, owning several family dogs growing up, and spending time with my parents dog, Boomer (a rescue Shih-tzu yorkie mix), my sisters dog Lola (a mini schnauzer) and my in-laws’ golden retriever, Remi. As of June, we also have a golden retriever puppy of our own who adores other dogs, so it is important that your dog gets along with other dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I love hanging out with the doggos and will be flexible with our activities based on their age, activity level and owner preferences. I love exercising and being outdoors so I’m always willing to go for walks or hikes with your dog! Or if they’re older I can stay in and relax with them too 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule and am home a lot so will be able to devote lots of attention to your furry friend. My husband and I live in a home on 5 acres on a quiet rural road in Maine that is perfect for taking dogs for walks or a swim in the pond (if their parents say yes!). Your dog will have plenty of room in the house and on our land to play and go for walks down our quiet road. I also am able to travel to your home to watch your dog too.

About: I am just a young 18 year old kid that loves dogs and is looking to spend some more time with them. While also making some money! I am currently taking online classes at the University of Maine Orono and am looking for a part-time job like this to make some money at the same time. Ever since I can remember my family and I have had 2 dogs in our house that each have problems of their own. But we love and care for them no different then we love and care for each other.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have been pet sitting for family, friends and anyone in need for the last three years! I have experience with both puppies between the ages of six months and two years old and senior dogs up to the age of 13. I am currently working part-time as a nanny most Thursdays through Saturdays, I am typically always available during the beginning of the week and work some half day shifts nannying so my schedule is open to changes. I always ask my clients to provide me with a strict set of rules and requirements, so that both myself, and the client feel comfortable with me being in the space.

About: I volunteered at the SPCA when I was a child have owned and cared for many animals and I was a Animal Control Officer for 2 years. I work part time for many post offices, But I truly enjoy being with animals, I am very flexible most of the time I have been covering many vacations, I would someday be a full-time dog walker/animal caretaker My dogs are always leashed or in a fence in yard. I would do the same for someone else dog. I would treat them as I do my own

About: I'm a farmer's daughter and was raised by animals. My grandfather trained wild animals (the newspaper clipping) and fostered that passion in me. A relaxed, healthy individual perceives and interacts with the world differently than a stressed one. I was formerly an emergency room veterinary technician. As much as I love it, I'm no longer physically able to be a vet tech. Caring for them as a sitter brings me joy and satisfaction. I travel with a big Sitter Bag of Tricks. Puzzles, snuffles, licky mats, a potpourri of balls, frisbees and leashes for the pups. For kitties, I have a tube full of wands, nip, pompoms, laser lights, and I'm not afraid to offer puzzles and mats. Kitties like them, too. Everyone enjoys pet relax playlists. My goal is to take care of them physically, emotionally and psychologically. Además, hablo español por si les ofrece. I've done summits with Drs Julie Lee, Judy Morgan, Edward Baissingthwaite and others regarding wellness and holistic care. I'm committed to learning from experts the best ways to help them live their longest, best lives. I know intimately the bond between pets and family, pets as family, and your family will be loved and cared for when you can't be home yourself! I am a certified Fear Free Sitter and a member of PUPS (Professional United Pet Sitters.) I keep it basic: good nutrition, tons of fresh water, exercise, environmental and mental stimulation, good hygiene and husbandry, regular healthcare, physical and spiritual closeness. I work from home so I’m with them 24/7 as needed. When we're separated from our family, even confident, resilient pets can experience some stress. I try to balance that out for them between love and fun. Their care is determined on an individual basis. I care for a variety of species and each is their own person. Learning what they love and sometimes learning new things is half the fun!
