House Sitting in Mount Desert

“Maggie was great with our cats. Super responsive and a great problem solver. House was well taken care of and the cats weren’t anxious upon our return.”

“We are so lucky to have found Glendon!! As always, he proves to be reliable, kind, and overall amazing. Our pup loves him too! Looking forward to having him over again and again :)”

“William went above and beyond and sent many photos! Highly recommend again!”

About: I have been looking after animals my whole life. I love them so much I made a career out of it as a Vet Tech and get to comfort and take of them everyday! I am happy to care for anything from puppies to senior dogs and medical case animals. 💖 I currently have a dog of my own. I work part time and am in school the other half. I am free most days and am very flexible with my schedule to accommodate your needs. I have 2 fenced in yards. I have a quite space separate from the household and provide lots of calm positive love for any animals in my care. I'm happy to play and acclimate to each animals needs

“Sonia was wonderful watching our dog for the day while we were on a tour of Acadia National Park. She was friendly and took our dog on a walk to the park.”

“Emily has cared for our beloved 5 year old cavachon, Divot on several occasions. By our second drop off to Emily’s home, Divot was eager to go with her. Emily is a careful listener. I gave her Divot’s instructions. She explains things well so you know what to expect as she will understand your expectations as well. Communication is one of the number of things Emily does well. She had Divot blend into her family. Which wasn’t hard to do as it is a perfect setting. If you are lucky enough to book with Emily you are sure to be pleased with her care of your pet.”

“Josh was wonderful with my pup. He was confident, yet patient and sensitive to Mashuq’s need for careful and thoughtful introductions. It is clear that Josh is thoughtful and knowledgeable about dogs, and his default is to be thorough, and prioritize the pup. We’re so very appreciative!”

“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”

“Nicole was great. Bella was happy to see us when we got back, but not stressed at all. It was a huge relief to us to have someone we trusted watching her while I took my husband to the hospital for an outpatient procedure. Turned out well all the way around and I would use her again.”

“Charlotte is wonderful with all types of pets. Be it a cat, dog, fish what have you. Charlotte is one of very few people I can depend on to take exceptional care of my 12 year old grumpy old lady of a dog. She treats every pet like her own with love and compassion. Anyone hiring Charlotte to watch their pet would be able to rest assured they are in good hands.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life—both my own and others'. My most recent dog, Dozer (a dopey 70 lb pit mix who looked like a cow), was with me for 9 amazing years. I’ve regularly walked and pet-sat for friends, coworkers, and even former customers from my barista days. I’ve lived with both large and small breeds and feel confident handling a range of personalities and energy levels—from mellow seniors to spirited puppies. I genuinely love spending time with dogs! I'm calm, patient, and attentive to each dog's unique needs—whether administering meds, sticking to a specific feeding routine, or offering extra playtime and affection. I also love being outdoors, so if your dog enjoys adventures, they’re in good hands! Don't worry, they'll get a tick check before I drop them off! I work full-time but offer evening walks during the week and full availability on weekends. I'm also available for house sitting any night of the week, and always make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I work full-time on weekdays, so I’m available for dog walking or playtime after 5 PM on weekdays. On weekends, I have full availability and love spending the day outside with pups—whether it’s long walks, hikes, or just hanging out and relaxing. I’m also available for house sitting any night of the week. I’m committed to fitting pet care seamlessly into my routine so your dog gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you’re away or busy. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure the environment is secure—checking gates, doors, and any escape routes—so your dog stays safe. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care needs. During walks and adventures, I keep your dog on a leash unless you’ve specified otherwise, and I’m vigilant about avoiding hazards like busy roads, toxic plants, or wildlife. I treat every dog with patience, respect, and kindness, making sure they feel calm and loved whether we’re at home or out exploring. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“I’m pleased to recommend Grace as a reliable and caring pet sitter. She has always shown responsibility, maturity, and a genuine love for animals. Grace is attentive, follows instructions well, and is great with pets and children. She’s dependable, kind, and someone I trust to care for my own animals. I’m confident she’ll be a wonderful choice for anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter and will treat your pets as if they were her own!”

“Tiana was absolutely fabulous! Professional. Personable. Intuitive. Our young pugs had the absolute best time with Tania. She bonded with them instantly and them with her. Due to their bond, Mademoiselle and Captian (sister and brother), were very responsive and attentive to Tania. She took them on numerous daily outings such as: Little Long Pond; Pretty Marsh; Blue Horizon; and a hiking trail within walking distance from our home. Returning from our ten day trip, we were greeted by our two very happy little furbabies. Our home was immaculate (cleaner than when we left), bed linens, etc. were laundered and folded. Our plants looked better then ever and all our mail was organized neatly on our dining room table. To boot, early on in our trip, I needed help from Tania to put together an order placed on my Etsy shop. Having no experience in doing so, however, in no time Tania processed and shipped the order. Tania is truly exceptional.”

“So nice and accommodating! Took great care of our boy and kept us updated very well”

“Truly was so happy and relaxed with Caitlin!!”

“David is a reliable sitter that takes great care in his clients. My dog always comes back tired from walks and he is able to administer medicine to both the cats and dog.”

About: I have 4 years of pet care experience professionally as well as lots of informal experience. I’m comfortable walking and sitting all kinds of dogs- different sizes, personality, and needs! I love animals and I love getting to know new dogs. I have experience with giving oral meds, working with reactive dogs, and not afraid to clean messes! I currently work Thursday-Saturday, but am available the other days of the week. I can work morning and evenings and I am flexible with scheduling I always ensure I have a secure grip on leashes so that they won’t slip out of my hand if a dog lunges or starts to run. I stay aware of my surroundings and monitor what’s on the ground and whether there are other dogs around. I am also happy to communicate with owners as much as they would like and give updates on their animals!

“Harmony was great! Our dogs had such a good time with her they weren't all that excited to see us when we returned. We have a tracker for one of our dogs so we know they were walked a couple of times a day. Harmony brought her own dog, and he got along great with my "girls." We will definitely ask her to sit again.”

“I have never met anyone who loves dogs more than Theresa. I’m not kidding. The love and care that she gives her own dogs has always been paramount and a true testament of how much she cares for the emotional and physical well-being of our four-legged friends. I would not trust anyone more than her to care for my animals.”
