About: Hi, I have taken care of my own pets and other people's pets for years. I moved to Mid coast ME 5 yrs ago from Nantucket. I am also a professional gardener, so if you need watering etc while your away. I am currently self employed, so I have a flexible schedule. We can figure out a plan for your pet care. Look forward in planning w you. I have a dog Elka and 2 cats. Elka is easy going dog who loves other dogs and cats. I think the best way is to have the dogs meet and see how things go w them before a care schedule can begin. We have also traveled and cared for other dogs in their homes and everyone gets along.

“Atlas is the best dog sitter we’ve found on this app - probably that we’ve found ever. We cannot recommend her more highly. She went above and beyond for our dogs and was quickly our reactive dog’s favorite person. We’ll be booking with Atlas for all our future travel and dog sitting needs.”
About: Hi, I’m Lindsey! Over the past 25years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I believe pets are family, and finding the right person to look after them while you’re away is crucial. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every pet with the same love and care I give to my own. Caring is embedded in my nature and when I'm not loving on my pets or caring for others fur babies, you can find me working as a nurse. I'm currently the owner of a special needs dog and feel comfortable caring for those pets that need a little extra care. Ask me about my pet wedding service I offer! As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to have days off with no work obligations so I can give my full attention to caring for your pet. I know that ensuring your pet has a safe environment with someone they trust is of utmost importance, so a meet and greet prior to confirming services is required. I tailor my approach based on the unique needs of each pet and their owner. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe and comfortable environment with ample space to play, opportunities to potty and protected sleep space. My pets are used to a structured environment, which allows them + visiting pets to settle into the new arrangement with ease. In your home, I focus on maintaining the familiar routines and surroundings that keep your pets comfortable. I follow any specific instructions you provide and adapt to your pet's habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and loved. My experience has equipped me with the skills to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing extra attention and care. Overall, my goal is to provide seamless care for your pet so they feel safe, secure and calm while their owner is away. Daily updates with pics or videos will be sent to ensure the owner feels safe, secure and calm while they are away as well! Prior to your departure, a plan for emergencies will be discussed and I will ensure I have all necessary phone numbers and contact information.
“Taryn was great. she took the time to come over and meet our dogs ahead of time and get to know them and on the night she dog sat for us things went very well and the dogs really took to her. I love her enthusiasm and her love for animals and would definitely use her again should the need arise. Very trustworthy and reliable”
“WOW I can't rave about Kelsey enough! She took unbelievably good and seamless care of my pup Milo and my home for the 10 days we were gone. Milo suffers from anxiety and can be reactive in certain settings but Kelsey is incredibly in tune with animals and really took the time to bond with Milo and put him at ease. She worked to maintain his routine and I was sent pictures of their off-leash trails adventures almost every day, which is something we feel comfortable doing with him but many of his caretakers haven't. Kelsey took the time to learn all his commands and reinforce all our house rules with him while we were gone which was obvious in his calm demeanor when we returned home. And we were left a fresh baked loaf of sourdough bread inscribed with "Milo", come on! Kelsey is an absolute dream and I truly can't recommend her enough!”
“Anna did a great job with our dog, Vessy. She sent daily updates, and Vessy was clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Anna and will for sure ask for her to dog sit again in the future.”
“Sarah was fantastic! We booked her for our 2 labs because we were getting married ! We didn't have to worry about them once, she played with them, and kept them happy. We would absolutely recommend her !”
“I can’t say enough about how INCREDIBLE Annette was. She stayed at our home with our shy little schnauzer Spidey while we went away for a few days. She sent so many wonderful photos, videos, and reassuring messages that gave as the peace of mind we needed to enjoy ourselves. She is so kind, sweet, and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to love our little guy. I can’t imagine using anyone else! Thank you thank you thank you, Annette!!!”
“Our pups love Selena! They are both adult rescues and are fearful of most people and Selena has the best approach and way with them. They warmed up in record time! Took wonderful care of our home as well.”
About: Leaving for just a day, week or month and can’t bring your pet? I have you covered! With 10 years of experienced dog, cat and small animal pet sitting, I offer the best, full time attention to your furry loved one. Each day will be filled with active walking and love. I treat your pets as if they are my own. I will adapt to your pets needs so they have a comfortable nonstress visit while you’re away. I also like to keep in touch with a picture or a short FaceTime so you can know your pet is happy. I am very flexible and would love to help going away a little bit easier for you. Contact me today for a perfect stay or visit to your furry loved one! I am very flexible and have an open schedule to meet any needs. I will make your pet my top priority and give them the time needed. I focus my time with your pet with a lot of interaction. I tend to go on many walks, adventures to fun dog locations if acceptable/comfortable with owner, pampering them with grooming and lots of love. A pet shouldn’t feel stressed or lonely when their loved one is gone, so I try to give them the best time while you are away.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for several years. I'm comfortable and capable of taking care of pets with medical needs including but not limited to insulin. I started fostering cats, kittens, pregnant cats, puppies, and dogs for Midcoast Humane in 2020. I currently work full time as a teacher meaning early mornings and late afternoons free. I also have a comfortable amazing amount of time off with school vacations and summer vacation. During the work week I can be available for early morning walks and afternoons after 3:30. I can also stay with your pet overnight while still working and or have your pet stay in our home. I live in a very peaceful and safe area of Boothbay with very little traffic. We have an unfenced yard with an aerial dog run. We have two older children ages 11 and 13. We also have one female cat age 10 and one small terrier mix age 1 male, both animals have been fixed. Our pets are family and yours will be as well. Lots of cuddles and comfy spaces as well as walks and play.
