About: I’ve had pets all my life and have raised a dog since he was a puppy. I have been a trusted pet sitter for years and tend to get along well with pets and have experience with all sizes of dogs. I work full time, but can work from home when needed. If there are any days I have to go into the office, I will be sure to let you know ahead of time. Caring for pets sometimes differs between homes. I abide by all house rules, give regular updates on pets, and am happy to give them all the love and attention they need.

About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.

“Janyl was wonderful with my dog Joy. She was always on time and left detail messages along with several pictures after each time she walked Joy. I would use Janyl again”

About: Hi I’m Natalie! I love animals and have grown up caring for them my whole life. I’ve had a range of animal care experience from mice to sea turtles and everything in between. I currently have two dogs and two cats and a betta fish. I have experience with large dogs like my Saint Bernard boxer mix and small dogs like my frenchie. I’ve also had experience caring for an elderly dog the past feed years administering medication frequently and cleaning her ears. I also volunteered for three years at an animal clinic where I also interned granting me more animal care qualities! I usually let my dogs out in the mornings for breakfast and feed them and then again at night. I also have given them baths and groomed them regularly. I even have had to give my older dog medicine regularly throughout the day. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a dog run that I will use and also have two of my own dogs to play with them.

“Alex managed a very excited and energetic 2 1/2 year old on her dog walk. She took some great pics .... Yuki looked like she was having a great time !”

“Averi was very easy to work with. She is flexible and understanding. When I booked her for four-days, then had to cancel due to a change in circumstances, she immediately responded and helped process the refund. The one day that she took our dogs out for a walk, she walked them for a mile, ensured they had food and water, and she even helped mop up their accidents. When we came home to greet our dogs, they were much calmer than normal. I believe this is due to the time, attention, and care that Averi put into her duties. If we ever need a dog-walker, again, in the future, we will consider Averi first!”

“Tux loves seeing Tim! He is always excited for his walks and attention from Tim! Tim has been dependable and flexible in meeting our needs!”

“Super! Kayla was wonderful with my 3 dogs who all have varying needs: young to old. She was very responsive, caring and my dogs felt comfortable with her on all her visits.”

About: I live in Waterville and would love to watch your fur babies. I have had a dog my whole life mostly labs but I really enjoy dogs and watching their interactions with humans and with other pets. My pups go everywhere with me especially on hikes they are troopers. Wouldn't mind having some other dogs to accompany us. I am currently working full time from home with a flexible schedule. I take my dogs for walks around the neighborhood on breaks and lunches. I have a large back yard with a lot of room to play ball or to fetch. I have other friendly playful dogs that would love to have some play mates.

About: I am an avid animal lover who owns two dogs (a 5 year old cocker spaniel-poodle along with a 3 year old cocker spaniel-poodle). My animals are my life and I love meeting other fur babies :) I take my own dogs on walks and car rides nearly daily and I have been trusted to care for my extended families’ pets as well. I am very protective over all of my animals, making sure they’re safe and healthy, but I also spoil them with treats often. I feel I am very prepared to take care of other people’s animals because I understand the importance fur babies are in people’s lives, and I would do everything I can to protect them like they’re my own. I do work at Kelberman Monday-Friday 8-4, but I am available to stop in before or after work as long as I have a proper notice. At my own home, I have a fenced in yard where I play fetch with my dogs for HOURS. I love a good walk and love taking dogs for walks :)

About: I have had dogs in my house for the past 17 years. I am looking to care for your animals and show them love and joy. I enjoy being around animal friends very much. I am a very big animal lover. I love cuddling animals and making them feel loved. I love it when pet parents leave me great directions and I love sending them notes or pictures back of their babies to brighten their days. My favorite thing is sending pet parents their pictures of their babies so they can see how they're doing. Please let me know what special treats, blankets, or toys make your pets happy because happy pets are the best and they make their owners happy. Feel free to contact me with any other inquiries. I currently work a part-time job. my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have early enough notice. I typically have shorter shifts and am available whenever I’m not working. I do not have a fenced-in yard but I can keep your pup on a leash and play with them in the backyard we have.

We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family.

That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love.
