“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”


“Eliot was wonderful! My Stella is a rescue dog and she was so understanding of that. I truly appreciate the fact that Stella gets anxious with crates and she let her sit on the couch with her and sleep with her. If you’re looking for a kind, caring and truly wonderful person for your fur baby, Eliot is it!”


“Her and her family were so nice to my dog Hudson & I. On very short notice, she took care of my dog while I am battering a serious head cancer. I cannot say enough kind things about them, and thanks towards them. My dog was happy & well cared for when I picked him up.”


About: Dogs and cats love my hands-on, dependable care. Whether it’s timely feeding, active walking, tossing a frisbee or tennis ball or a soothing snuggle, your beloved dog will love to see me. You can rest easy knowing your companion is in good hands. I am available for overnight sits with advance notice as well as drop-in visits. Weekdays I can drop in as well as evening visits. I am also available for walks. Please note if you are farther than 15 miles from Bridgton, I will require reimbursement for fuel expenses. I am able to care for small dogs in my home but prefer to care for pets in your home due to restrictions in my HOA.

About: I grew up with dogs, since I can remember, I was watching all of my neighbors dogs before I was even old enough to work. I have no problem, administrating medication‘s, or even giving them a bath or doing their nails. I love animals so much that one day I hope to grow up and have a big piece of land so that I can hold a sanctuary for all the animals I can give a good home too and rehabilitate. This is my full-time job watching your loved ones and helping out in anyway I can so I am fully and completely at your disposal. I have an un fence yard currently so unless you’re comfortable with having them be off the leash I’ll take them for a walk or to a dog park with your permission. I don’t mind animals on my furniture, but if I were in your home and that’s not cool with you, just let me know. All I wanna do is provide comfort and enjoyment while giving you the ability to relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Our boxer had a great time with Nikki! We felt that Nikki did a wonderful job of caring for our dog and appreciated the pictures she sent us of the fun they were having throughout the weekend.”


“Susan was great. She was quick to respond to my initial email. We met before hand to introduce the dogs and see her home and then discuss logistics. I really appreciated her taking time to talk about all aspects of our dogs stay with her. Our dog Duke was spoiled. He was able to get out and play with her dog and run on the trails. Susan sent me a few emails to let me know Duke had settled in nicely and I even received photos - very nice! Needless to say, he had a wonderful time. When my husband picked him up, he said that Duke looked like he was one of the family! Thank you Susan (and your family) for providing a very friendly, safe environment for Duke. He loved being with you I am sure.”


“We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”


“Grace was fantastic! She watched our boy for our wedding weekend and sent us pictures through the weekend and even brought him to us at our venue to get pictures with us. She made sure she had all of the info she needed and had us meet the other pups our dog would be with for the weekend before hand to make sure everyone was comfortable and the dogs would get along. Our dog is our world and we are particular about who we leave him with and we will definitely be having Grace watch him in the future!”


About: We live in the country on Thompson Lake. We have almost 10 acres for walking and running with our dogs. We are retired and love our dogs. Looking for a little income and exercise to keep the old bodies from falling apart. So care for dogs and walking them while here or wherever we care for them fits the bill. We have two beagles (mom and daughter) both with great temperaments. Our land is mostly field we use radio collars and have no issues with our dogs staying in the yard. They hunt together every morning giving them lots of exercise.

“We were so relieved to find Celeste as we were new to the area and had been using the same sitter for years as our dog is far too anxious when left in kennels. Sula had a great time, got to play and run with lots of other dogs. Celeste was great with her and sent lots of pictures and updates. We know we had a happy and tired dog when we picked her up. Celeste was also super flexible when we had to modify our booking through no fault of our own. We definitely recommend and will be using her again next time we travel.”


“We adopted 11 year old Jafar just 4 months ago. I didn’t know how he would act around another dog or a small child, and I was worried about leaving him with Jessica who has an older Chihuahua and a 3 year old boy. I worried for nothing! Jafar loved the Chihuahua and would cuddle up with her, and he got along fine with the child! Jessica took great care of him. She sent lots of pictures showing Jafar enjoying his vacation as much as we enjoyed ours. This nervous pet mama HIGHLY recommends Jessica!”


About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I currently have one 30lb lab mix, Ruby, who is a year old- she is very sweet- loves other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a little dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🌟 Local residents of Chatham, Conway and Fryeburg looking for regular care (3 or more days a week) please reach out about joining the “Wolf Pack” for discounts/ local rates! 🌟 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have one pup who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.

About: I have been pet sitting for a long time now and even made it my summer job in college. My goal is to give your pet plenty of love and attention to make them feel comfortable. I have a 2 year old mini schnauzer who loves all dogs of all sizes and he will make sure your pet has plenty of play time that when you get home they are tired. I work fully remote so I am always home. I have a yard out front and then snowmobile trails behind my apartment where we can go for long walks. I work fully remote from home and will always be around :) I am usually up around 6:30 am and go to bed around 10/10:30 pm I offer a lot of love and attention to all pets. I love taking my dog out a few times a day and make sure he gets at least a couple long walks. I have a living room for them to play or my yard out front is just as great. My doors are always closed and I live in a safe area of Fryeburg and live on a dead end road. I promise your animal will get more attention not just from me but from my dog.

About: I love all kinds of animals. im here to care for your animals as if they were my own ands love them with all that I have. im work part-time but after 12 pm and certain days im able to petsit. I have certain days off so those days I will be able to petsit more my home I am not able to care for pets but once I am able to petsit at my home I will let clients know. if I am able to pet sit at my clients home I will care for them and show them the care and love they deserve

Sebastian G.
“Sebastian has watched our dog, cat and turtle on more than one occasion. Our dog has separation issues so we require Sebastian to stay in our home for multiple nights so she is with someone. Our dog loves him and excitedly greets him when he arrives. Sebastian regularly sends updates, pictures included, so we're able to enjoy our time away without any worries for our animals. He is a neat, trustworthy and very punctual person as well. I would highly recommend Sebastian for any animal care needs.”
