Pet Sitting in Mechanic Falls

About: My first Jobs as a child were farm sitting for my neighbors and working on an angora rabbit farm. I have always loved and cherished animals. Animals have been drawn to me my whole life. I developed my skills going into the veterinary field as a technician, I've worked with large animals horses , pigs, cows, llamas , alpacas , tortoise , lizards , snakes, monkeys, even helped in surgery on a lion. I have experience with medications , injections, transdermal , and oral medications . Also subcutaneous fluids . I also have experience with handicapped animals that may need bladder expressions or need potty walks in wheel chairs , experience with this is work and I also had my own wheel chair bound dog. I'm honest and would let you know if I'm not comfortable or feel qualified enough to take care of your babies I will let you know. I've been in the veterinary field over 25 years. I've worked in general practice , urgent care , and specialty /emergency . On weekends I'm available to house/pet sit pretty much anywhere within Maine and even possibly NH , of course allowing me time to get there . Try me I'm always up for a road trip extra fees may apply . Weekends for me are Friday after 6 pm through Tuesday morning when I head out to work . During my work week Tuesday morning through Friday . If you have dogs that need to be let out mid day , you need to be within a 10 minute drive from Warren ave in Portland . That way I can go let them out on my lunch break . If you have cats only or other pets that do not need midday care I can house sit /pet sit anywhere within an hour from Portland Maine . I can travel back and forth to work but be there at night and morning to take care of your pets needs . Always reach out if this doesn't make sense . Your pets care is priority and I will try to help you out but if my availability is not what is best for your friends I will be the first to let you know . I currently do not take pets into my home , just because I am not here most of the day . I will let people know if this changes

“Marcie does a great job watching my dog, she is always on time, takes good pictures and really seems to enjoy her time with my dog Sam! She has watched Sam many times and I will be using her many more!”

About: My experience includes puppy training and group integration, command training, end of life palliative care, medicine administration, grooming, and lots of recreation/enrichment/engagement! As for dog types all are fur babies and I'll see that they are treated as such! Currently in-between full-time employment, ready to devote my time to the lovely care of our fur companions. I tend to be free on the weekends and the beginning of the week. I follow set instructions laid down by the owners, any preferences or quirks of individual pets will be accommodated for your pets' and your family comfort.

“Amanda did an awesome job with my old kitty who needs some extra attention with his prescription meds. She is always super prompt with her communication, takes awesome cat photos that really made me feel at ease when I was gone and gives my cat some extra loving attention. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet parent. Thanks, Amanda!”

About: Pets have always been a big part of my life, gaining responsibility with them as I grew up. I have two family dogs currently: a 14-year-old medium-sized rescue mutt and a 7-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog that I love and cherish! I also have one cat. I have helped in caring for and training them for quite a few years. I am used to following feeding schedules and I love a good dog walk. I have basic training skills and also have experience dealing with minor behavioral issues. I also have helped care for my older siblings' dogs (both of them have sweet Golden Retrievers) and my aunt's two labs. I love all of these dogs (and my cat) and I would love yours too! I am currently self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Occasionally I work weekends and would be away, but I will update my Rover availability as that comes about. I am open to stays of any length because of my current schedule! I am not able to offer stays in my own home, but I am available to stay at your home and care for your dogs there. I have reliable transportation so I can commute to and from your home as needed. I will keep your pets company in a space that is familiar and comfortable to them.

About: I have always had a dog growing up. Currently have a two-year-old pup named Anna K. I also house sit for a friend our mine down the road every now and then. I can be very flexible making myself available. If you can, a couple days notice would be better. But if not, you can still ask! Have tried multiple training techniques with all the dogs we have had, electric fence, leash, a tie-out cable, and some we eventually let out on their own when they are ready. No small objects around, especially as a puppy, try not to feed them anything but their required food.

About: I have many years of experience with cats, all types of personalities. Dogs as well, frequent walking. I do have 4 cats of my own :) I work 3 days a week, not a set schedule, but usually have open availability the other 4 days during the weekdays/weekends. I have a job that requires taking call, so there are times I could have to go into work during a scheduled time, majority a very flexible schedule :) I do not take requests for services in my own home. I am able to spend the nights in your home as needed for cats and dogs

“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”

“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”

“Krista is absolutely amazing! It’s always so hard for me to leave my cat home but Krista puts my mind at ease knowing Cory will be loved and taken care of !”

About: Hi, my name is Natalia! Full time security officer and full time animal lover. I have a cat and two rabbits! I’ve had pet care experience for about 8+ years, pet sitting and dog walking as well as staying overnight from time to time. I give the animals all the attention they need. I will put them first always. Not only is dog walking fun, but it’s great exercise. Or just relaxing on the couch with a kitty after a long day of playing. Whatever needs to be done for your fur baby, I will be more than happy to accommodate. Our pets are the things we should always hold close and I will treat them like my own. I hope to hear from you! I can also take tons of professional looking photos of your fur baby so you live through them while you’re away!

“So reliable and sweet with my kitties! I felt reassured with the great updates and photos- I would 100 percent recommend Jess and will be a repeat customer.”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life, so caring for them isn’t just a job - it’s second nature to me. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, and I tailor each walk or drop in visit to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every dog like my own - with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Whether it’s an energetic walk or a calm, check in visit, your pups, safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. I currently work a couple short days per week. Happy to check on your pet or take them for a walk before or after I work as needed. Sometimes my days change (but rarely, so please reach out if there is a day not directly available on my calendar). I’m at home studying the other days I’m not at work. So I would love for a reason to get outside and take your dog for a walk! Or simply go check on your dog and play with them for a bit, while you’re away. Your pets safety is always my top priority. During walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, use leashing practices, and avoid unsafe areas or extreme weather. For drop ends, I make sure doors, gates and crates are properly secured before leaving. I follow your pets routine carefully and provide updates so you can feel confident in at ease while you’re away.

“Danielle has been a reliable, conscientious helper with visiting my anxious rescue dog while I’m at work. I recommend her very highly to anyone looking for help with doggy care!”

“Jennifer is the very BEST. I never worry about my fur baby because she also loves him and he loves her. Jennifer takes care of our boy like he was hers. We are so lucky to have her!”

“Richard was excellent, he responded to our communication quickly and sent us daily pictures. We felt that our cats were in good hands while we were away, and when we came home everything was as it should be. I would highly recommend Richard to watch over your pets!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, people tend to come to me to watch theirs when out of town or busy I currently am in between jobs, so I will have plenty of time for these animals. I will be getting a job pretty soon though. I will fallow all instructions you may have. I also have 3 fur babies of my own, so if I were to bring them to my place they would have plenty of company.

“Haley took excellent care of my cats while I was out of town. Knowing they were taken care of really allowed me to relax and enjoy time away. I’d 100% book again, and would recommend to others who need reliable care. Haley also sends really great photos during check-ins - what a bonus! :)”

“Rebecca was a wonderful sitter. She was excited to meet and take care of our kitties, thorough in learning their routines and following feeding instructions, and a great communicator/picture taker! We would definitely recommend her to others as well as ask her to sit for us again.”

Karalee O.

“Olivia was very professional and easy to work with. Her updates and photos helped us feel at ease while we were away. Our cat can be needy and challenging sometimes so I appreciated her patience and caring nature when working with him! Thank you Olivia!”
