“Naomi was great and Milo was happy and well taken care of. She did daily check ins and provided photos of Milo and how he was doing. I could not have asked for better care for Milo while I was on vacation.”
“Madelyn is always a communicative and through sitter. She truly goes above and beyond with our pets. We always have one less stress when we travel knowing the animals are in her care.”
“Emily took amazing care of our 2 ferrets every day for over 2 weeks. She kept their pen clean, gave them lots of attention during her visits, and ensured our disabled girl received the extra care and help she needs. Super communicative and dedicated to caring for them! We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter! :) Thank you, Emily, for watching our babies!!”
About: I grew in a home full of dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs from young pups to older dogs as well. I truly want to help and support pets and people in anyway I can. I am a teacher so I am available on weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I cannot welcome your pet into my home in my current housing situation but I will provide any necessary care to your family including walks, drop in visits, and house sitting.
“Emma watched our kitties for a long vacation period and as always gave the most amazing updates, pictures, and most of all - comfort knowing they were the most looked after and taken care of when we were gone! Thank you Emma!”
About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.
About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.
“Erin took super good care of our buddies as usual. I really appreciate her detailed notes about their care and always photos! We’re thankful she goes the extra mile to try and get them to eat their wet food. Cats are so easy, right ?? Sorry for my late review !!!”
About: I’ve had pet dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve always loved taking care of them, and being someone that they can rely on. Caring for animals is a big part of my life and something I hope to be forever passionate about! I am working full-time for the summer. I am a college student who will be going back to part time in the fall to finish my last year. I’m mostly free in the evenings and on odd days during the week since I work a rotating schedule. The fall will look different as I’ll be working part-time while also going to school! I’ve been handling large dogs since I was a young teenager, so I’m very comfortable with all types of breeds. I’d consider myself very gentle when it comes to animal care.
About: I have dog sat for 2 families, cat sat for two families, reptile sat, and generally animal sat for a few families. Animals are my happy place. I strive for the animals I take care of to be entertained, fed, walked, and most importantly loved. I am currently working part-time over the summer, while looking for an English teaching position (high school preferably). I have graduated college from the University of Maine at Farmington with a bachelors in Education. I find I am passionate about the things I strive to achieve and work for. I am organized, honest, and kind. I made sure the house I am caring for is clean and safe for the animals that live there. I will always follow the rules that the client will give me. I will try my absolute best to make sure the pets safety is my top priority.
About: I know dogs need exercise, discipline, and affection. I know it can be challenging to find the right pet care that is trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to give your pet the care they need! I am a massage therapist for part of the week and I homeschool my children when I’m not working. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have extra time to fill here and there with pet care. I will feed, walk, or give your animals attention based on clients request and animals requirements. Whether it’s In the yard, taking them for a walk or just sitting petting them, I’ll give them what they need.
About: Since I was 5 years old, I have been taking care of animals. My first job was as the neighborhood dog walker. Since then, I have walked and sat countless animals. You will be at ease leaving your pet with me. I currently live with two large boxers, so pet care is part of my daily routine - from walks to feeding and play dates. I am available regularly for walks and pet sitting. Each animal has a unique set of wants and needs / my 9 year old boxer has lymphoma and needs more frequent pee and water breaks. I am equipped with handling the specifics of each and every pet, and will ensure that your animal is taken care of.

With a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health and Behavior and a perfect GPA, she’s not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally responsible. Since 2018, she has lovingly cared for her cat, and in 2023, she welcomed a dog into her life—both of whom she absolutely spoils with love, treats, and thoughtful care. Kristen’s pets are her fur babies, and any pet in her care will be showered with attention and affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly devoted, Kristen is the perfect choice!"”
