About: I am a seasonal Maintenance Worker for Acadia National Park and year-round resident of Mount Desert, with a wide range of experience in dog and cat breeds, ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am available evenings (after 4:30pm) for visits and walks, as well as all day Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. My dog-sitting availability is mostly limited to weekends, but I can watch cats or other pets that can be alone for 10 consecutive hours any day of the week. I cannot offer pet boarding in my own home at this time, but hope to be able to in the future. . . . .

“It was wonderful to have Krista come and take our puppy for walks. She is kind, responsive, and took great care of our dog. We’d highly recommend Krista.”

“I would definitely recommend Karen, she was amazing with our four dogs while we were away. We had three small dogs and one big dog that didn’t always get along with the others. She did a great job keeping them all happy, getting along, fed and time outdoors.”

About: I’ve had almost every kind of pet since I was little and have worked on farms and taken care of pets my whole life. I’m familiar with senior pets, puppies, and animals with special care needs. I’ve taken care of possums,raccoons, goats, cows, you name it! I work from home with a loose schedule so your pet will be my first priority! I have many days off throughout the week as well. I have a cozy first floor apartment right in town with plenty of comfy carpet to snooze on and space for crates if needed. I’m always outside and right near a large dog friendly park and a 5 minute walk to acadia national park!

“Selena is incredibly responsible, compassionate, and reliable. She loves animals and connects with them deeply. Her empathy and intuition allows her the ability to discern the needs of people and animals. She also loves walking and being outdoors in all types of weather. I highly recommend Selena to care for your pet both inside and outside of your home.”

About: I've been helping raise animals since I was 12, starting with my families Rotweiller, Hershel. Since then I helped run our family owned and operated Irish Wolfhound breeding program, Dubh Cú Burrow. I have moved away from my family recently, and have been missing that aspect of rural living, the care, raising, and training of wonderful and amazing animals. If you have any specific training needs for your pet, I would love to assist with that while I am tending to your four-legged family! I am currently in my off-season from my primary job as an accountant, and will have more than ample time to care for your pet. Outside time is very important to me, and presumably your fur baby too! When I am caring for your pets, I guarantee two walks a day minimum, one in the morning and one in the evening, and I will only put them in their crate when absolutely neccesary, unless you want them crate trained. If your pet has different needs in regard to exercise, please let me know and I will adjust accordingly. I have two adorable kitten siblings of my own who are incredibly friendly to all animals they have interacted with. If your dog is not cat friendly, I have a separate room for them to stay while I am watching over your animal companion.

“Aria has taken care of my guinea pigs, my rabbit, and my several other pets over the years. She is very good with animals, and genuinely cares for every pet. She also sent photos of my pets every visit. It made me more comfortable being away from my pets knowing that someone who really care for them was taking care of my animals.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats rabbits and horses ever since I was 10. I’ve cared for new born kittens as well as senior cats at the Humane Society for almost 10 years. And cared for my neighbors’ dogs. From volunteering I’ve learn much about behaviors for both dogs and cats and have discovered I have a talent for working with them. I decided at retiring that I would like to begin in home pet sitting earning a living. I also manage an Airbnb with pets and have had great experiences with both dogs and and cats. I’m available all times but desire at least a week in advance notice. Daily weekly and hourly with breaks when needed for managing my Airbnb. Usually to clean after check out. Also per your needs I will need to have a brief break in the day to drive home to make sure my cats are fed and happy with some play time if I am asked to do overnights. I have 4 cats now. They get fed on special foods on a schedule. When they are eating I clean their cat boxes and when they are finished, I clean their bowls. Before they begin their daily naps , I play with each of them. They range in age from 19 to 1 yr. I also check their water bowls throughout the day or night depending. I can give them treats anytime. I also have learned various medical skills and hope to go back to school for a third degree as a vet tech and if life allows veterinary practice.

“I have known Min for many years and she has always been an animal lover. She has a way with them that is kind and loving yet firm, and all pets just love her. Her own dog is a great testimonial as Min has had her since she was a pup and she is extremely well behaved and happy. Min has also fostered dogs and assisted several rescues. I would highly recommend Min for any pet walking or sitting services. You’d be very lucky to get her!”

While he loves large breeds (particularly sporting breeds) he is tender and caring with small breeds as well. An outdoor enthusiast, Andy is willing to escort your pup around the neighborhood or for a good hike on your pups favorite trail.”
