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

“Eliot did an exceptional job with Nala - calming her nerves and making her feel comfortable! Nala was apprehensive at first by Eliot did a wonderful job of using her experience to take care of her. She also did a wonderful job of communicating and sending pictures — I definitely recommend and use her again !”

“I hired Amanda to look after my cat while I was away. She was great at communicating from my initial inquiry right through my trip. Amanda sent photos and updates daily which made me feel comfortable that my girl was in good hands. I will be a repeat customer!”

Kate J.

“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!”

Jaclyn W.

Shannah H.

“Krista was a lifesaver for my dad! Right before going on vacation he had to start his cat on medication so he needed someone to check on him multiple times a day, and Krista came to the rescue! She tackled the difficult task of oral meds and kept us informed on how it was going the whole time with pictures. We really lucked out finding her and will definitely hire her next time!!”

Melanie J.

“Great communication. All of us very happy! Dogs voted to have her come back soon😉”

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 taken care of various different fur babies my whole life. From my grandma’s elderly diabetic cat, to many little baby kittens. Making animals feel safe and cared for makes me feel so fulfilled. I also have been bathing and doing regular grooming since I was old enough to understand how to. I’ve taken in strays and helped regime them or reunite them. I also took in and nursed back to health a kitty that I witnessed get hit by a car. Some special skills that I possess would be I’m very patient loving person who has a very big heart when it comes to animals and I can’t wait to have a future caring for them. I work part-time and do an online education program I’m pretty much free for the rest of day. Currently working on getting my license so I can be more reliable with transportation to get there. I will respect your home and take care of your fur Babies in the comfort of their home listening to anything you ask of me. while we wait for your arrival

“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.”

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.

“Jennifer was great and my cats loved her! She sent pictures and videos daily! She was attentive to their needs and even though I’m an obsessed cat mom, she did everything I asked her to do and more! I would recommend Jennifer to anyone in need!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 16. I love every animal as if they are my own. I've been walking the neighborhood dogs for over 2 years now I work part time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and other animals if needed. I love to be outside and hands on playing with the dogs. I have an amazing neighborhood to walk your babies and take them for runs. Have a cute little yard so the fur babies can play

“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! :)”

“Olivia did a great job taking care of my dog! It was her first time sitting for him and I was away for a very long day so she came to walk him three times. Each time she checked in so I knew she was there, and she sent photos. She communicated well from the first contact, set up a meet and greet promptly, and got right back to me when I sent a booking request. She's clearly a pro with dogs, and Gunnar took to her immediately. Highly recommended!”
