“We were staying in an Airbnb out of state and were in need of a Pet Sitter for a family wedding and, after reading reviews, we found Carla. Carla came a few weeks before her scheduled time to stay with our golden doodle and we felt immediately at ease with her. She was easy to reach and communicative throughout the whole process. When the time came for her to watch our pup, she arrived in ample time so that we did not feel stressed about leaving on time. She immediately began playing with our dog. Throughout the stay she sent pics and we felt very at ease. Our pup was happy and had a lot of play time. Upon return, the house was clean, bed was stripped and everything was in order. If we were to return to the area, we would absolutely book Carla again in a heartbeat!”
“Erin was amazing! She answered promptly and took me on very last minute. My two dogs loved her and she made me feel very comfortable: as someone who has never used a sitter before! Will be booking again !!”
“Jazlynne took great care of our cat. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates. I would definitely recommend Jazlynne.”
“Glendon was absolutely amazing with our reactive pup, Desmond while we were out of town for a few days. He has separation anxiety and can be tough to settle but Glendon was patient and persistent and they soon became buddies. This was a major accomplishment because Desmond usually prefers females over males. Glendon was also available on a very short notice and flexible with the times we requested which helped us out immensely. Our house was clean when we returned and he even made us food so we didn’t have to cook after traveling all day. This was the first time a new person has looked after Desmond and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands :)”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. I went to school and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I am also Pet CPR Certifed. I have my own pet/house sitting business and offer feline grooming! I work full time but am able to pet sit every night, on weekends and do checks on pets during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. Your pets will get lots of play time, go on walks, and get lots of attention. I do like to relax with them and just hang out as well, depending on the pet.
“Our family, including our dog, are very anxious, but we felt completely calm, relaxed, and happy with Stacey caring for the pets. She kept the house exactly as we left it, she sent photos every day, and it is clear the pets felt comfortable and relaxed. Her communication was excellent, contacting us daily but unobtrusively. I could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for such a great experience.”
“Melissa took excellent care of our pups while we were away for the weekend! She kept in touch and sent pics and videos of them frequently. Our house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs were well loved and cared for. Melissa is great with animals and made us feel good about leaving the dogs with her. She is friendly, communicative, and upbeat- a great sitter!”
“Caroline did an amazing and thorough job with our fur baby! We had last minute travel plans come up and she was still able to accommodate our crazy schedule. She took multiple walks with Zeke and was great at communicating and sending pictures. Zeke is a pretty anxious dog, but he was comfortable with her right away, as were we! She asked questions that showed she genuinely was interested in making sure he was comfortable. We will definitely be booking Caroline again and would highly recommend her!”
“Our dog Charlie is very shy and takes time to warm up to people. He loves Atlas. We know he is very well taken care of while we are gone. Our flight was delayed and she came back the next day to take care of him until we got home. She even cleaned up before she left. We are so grateful for her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. As a child-teen, I helped bring puppies to the vet every year, as well as bathing them, playing with them, and watching them. I’ve been paid to take care of multiple dogs and I volunteered in the Waterville Humane Society as an adolescent. I have lots of freedom and flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day Monday-Saturday and am willing to provide overnight care as well. I make sure that dogs in my home are fed and watered according to their normal schedule, walked, bathed when necessary, played with, and paid attention to.
“William went above and beyond and sent many photos! Highly recommend again!”
“Alexis is a wonderful cat sitter! She is professional and sent photos of our cats during her visit. We will continue to have her come by when we need a cat sitter.”
“Sydney petsit in our home this past week, taking care of our cat and dog. She was incredibly responsive and sent sweet pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Our neighbors often pitch in to help with each other's pets, and Sydney coordinated with these neighbors to provide seamless care. Definitely will be working with Sydney again!”
“Libby was an excellent sitter. I was in town for a graduation celebration at the University of Maine and Libby watched my puppy while I attended an event. She arrived on time at my vacation rental and took excellent care of my puppy. I am so grateful that I was able to leave my puppy with someone I could trust and he had so much fun with Libby. I highly recommend Libby for all your pet needs.”
“Geoffery took great care of our dogs and farm animals!! We were away for two days for a family wedding and it was helpful leaving our dogs with someone we felt we could trust. Geoffery visited us to meet the dogs and learn how to take care of things a couple of weeks before he cared for them, which was good to ensure it would all work out. While we were gone we received a few updates, which was nice and reassuring, and when we got home our dogs were tired and happy! Geoffery had taken them on so many walks and made sure all their needs were met. We will definitely request to book again for our next family wedding!”
About: I have volunteered at my local humane society for 3 years, walking dogs and cleaning their kennels. I grew up with three dogs, and farm animals, and have always loved animals. I am currently a freshman at Umass Amherst, with availability Fridays, Monday and Wednesday mornings until 2pm, and occasional weekends. I am available to do check ups if given enough time to plan and respond! While I cannot house sit in my own house, I can in the client's home. I will follow specific directions given, and make sure the pups are fed, played with, and let out.
“Bohni was a treat on all levels!!! She stayed with my cat for 3 nights and 4 days.. I think my cat likes her more. The house was better than I left it.. Angel was calm and happy.. I was able to be away from her for the first time and feel confident in her STELLAR care.. if there were 10 stars she would get them all!!!!! Got photos all well everyday!!!! Happy customer”
