Pet Sitting in North Turner

“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”

“Sophia did a great job with our old, difficult girl while we were away for a week. She can be hard for anyone but me and her dad to deal with but Sophia made it seem like an easy task (after the first meeting jitters were gone). Everything went great and she was quick to contact with any problems or questions. Definitely glad we found her, especially so far away from any major cities or towns. Will definitely book again!”

“Katie took great care of my dogs while we were away! My girls had a harder time with me being away than I was expecting but she did a great job with notifying me with any questions/concerns!”

“Another great visit by Aleisha! Sadie is getting to know her and it's paying off with a less stressed animal when we come home. We know that the next few weeks will bring them closer still and we can't wait for that to happen. Sadie likes her new pack mate!”

About: I’ve had animals in my house sense I was born and have had a role in taking care of them for as long as I can remember. I now have my own very spoiled creatures I’m working and going to school but I’m home a lot to I’m mostly looking for something to do in my spare time for a little extra cash Currently living with my parents while I finish school. My room is small but there is a big open yard for my pup to play in and my cats enjoy watching the wildlife from inside the house

“Amelia came through in a pinch, got on our dogs’ energy level and gave our nervous, reactive one a chance to warm up without pushing him. Excellent communication. During the meet and greet she asked good questions and had good instincts on what to do to help our dogs and cat get comfortable with her. It was clear they were in good hands with Amelia. Thank you!”

About: I grew up on a large farm with show dogs! I have had dogs, cats and all farm animals my entire life and their happiness, care is always top of my priority! I work from home full time, so there will never be a period your fur baby will be left alone unless I need to run a quick errand. I have two dogs ( a shih tzu (7) and a mini schnauzer (6 months), we have two well behaved cats and 6 chickens that are enclosed in an outside area. We use a bell system on the doors for our dogs to tell us when they need to go outside and positive reinforcement at all times.

“My dog loved her! She was reliable and I'll definitely hire her again.”

About: My fourth birthday I asked for a dog, and continued to do so every birthday thereafter. Growing up my family was not in a position to have a pup, so I found every other way to engage with them. I walked family and friends dogs, pet sat, and read all the books about dogs and cats I could find in my little school library. As an adult I have been graced with the opportunity to rescue my own pup, and have since learned a whole slew of new skills and knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, reactivity, nervousness, and anxiety. (Let's just say my rescue experience really gave me a crash course in how trauma can effect dogs well after they are safe in a home). I have done hours of research (and application of that research) into how to effectively train and respond to behaviors. I personally prescribe to a positive reinforcement system and 'protecting their bubble' dual training method. I would love to meet you and your pup, and find out how I can best help to meet your dogs needs for a happy and healthy life! I'm currently working part time summer hours. I work in behavioral health care for kids and have plenty of time available to care for your pet! My dog is a rescue and we put in time training every day to help build her confidence and trust in the world. She's very nervous of other people and dogs, so unless it seems like a really great fit personality wise between our dogs, I will love providing your pup love, walks, and engagement in your home or out in the community! I prescribe to positive reinforcement training and protecting a dogs bubble. I would love to hear about your dog and that they need. You are their expert and I am here to provide you both support how ever you may need it. If your dogs is like mine and doesn't get along with other dogs, I know lots of places to walk and adventure where it's easy to avoide other pups and also have strategies use if we do come across them such as the Banana method, and training a "center" position, and skills and drills to do before a walk to ensure a dogs engagement and focus is on me before the walk.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 25 years. I currently have 7 cats ranging 2 months to 16 years, 2 dogs, and 2 lizards. I groom my own dogs, and administer medications to my pets. I currently check in on neighbors cats periodically and walk neighbors dogs I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and am about to schedule work around caring for animals. I can make myself available around your pets needs I have a fenced in yard and various sized crates if crating is necessary. I also have a large barn and multiple rooms with doors if pets need alone spaces.

About: I am an animal lover who would love to provide care to your pet so you don't have to worry about leaving them at home while you're at work or on vacation! My services include dog-walking, drop-in visits to check on and play with your pup, overnight boarding if you're away on vacation (at my home or yours), or dog-sitting for the day while you're at work. I have experience with volunteering at various animal shelters, caring for dogs on Rover for several years, owning several family dogs growing up, and spending time with my parents dog, Boomer (a rescue Shih-tzu yorkie mix), my sisters dog Lola (a mini schnauzer) and my in-laws’ golden retriever, Remi. As of June, we also have a golden retriever puppy of our own who adores other dogs, so it is important that your dog gets along with other dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I love hanging out with the doggos and will be flexible with our activities based on their age, activity level and owner preferences. I love exercising and being outdoors so I’m always willing to go for walks or hikes with your dog! Or if they’re older I can stay in and relax with them too 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule and am home a lot so will be able to devote lots of attention to your furry friend. My husband and I live in a home on 5 acres on a quiet rural road in Maine that is perfect for taking dogs for walks or a swim in the pond (if their parents say yes!). Your dog will have plenty of room in the house and on our land to play and go for walks down our quiet road. I also am able to travel to your home to watch your dog too.

“Amanda again did a wonderful job with our beastie boys. Loved and cared for on each visit. Also dealt with the bad weather and our weird heating system with ease. The best!!”

About: I have always had a dog growing up. Currently have a two-year-old pup named Anna K. I also house sit for a friend our mine down the road every now and then. I can be very flexible making myself available. If you can, a couple days notice would be better. But if not, you can still ask! Have tried multiple training techniques with all the dogs we have had, electric fence, leash, a tie-out cable, and some we eventually let out on their own when they are ready. No small objects around, especially as a puppy, try not to feed them anything but their required food.

“Great sitter! Sent nice pics of my cats.”

About: My first Jobs as a child were farm sitting for my neighbors and working on an angora rabbit farm. I have always loved and cherished animals. Animals have been drawn to me my whole life. I developed my skills going into the veterinary field as a technician, I've worked with large animals horses , pigs, cows, llamas , alpacas , tortoise , lizards , snakes, monkeys, even helped in surgery on a lion. I have experience with medications , injections, transdermal , and oral medications . Also subcutaneous fluids . I also have experience with handicapped animals that may need bladder expressions or need potty walks in wheel chairs , experience with this is work and I also had my own wheel chair bound dog. I'm honest and would let you know if I'm not comfortable or feel qualified enough to take care of your babies I will let you know. I've been in the veterinary field over 25 years. I've worked in general practice , urgent care , and specialty /emergency . On weekends I'm available to house/pet sit pretty much anywhere within Maine and even possibly NH , of course allowing me time to get there . Try me I'm always up for a road trip extra fees may apply . Weekends for me are Friday after 6 pm through Tuesday morning when I head out to work . During my work week Tuesday morning through Friday . If you have dogs that need to be let out mid day , you need to be within a 10 minute drive from Warren ave in Portland . That way I can go let them out on my lunch break . If you have cats only or other pets that do not need midday care I can house sit /pet sit anywhere within an hour from Portland Maine . I can travel back and forth to work but be there at night and morning to take care of your pets needs . Always reach out if this doesn't make sense . Your pets care is priority and I will try to help you out but if my availability is not what is best for your friends I will be the first to let you know . I currently do not take pets into my home , just because I am not here most of the day . I will let people know if this changes

“Eliot dropped in to visit our pup Beau for us while we were at work and we were very happy with her service! She came to meet Beau and see our space ahead of time, was mindful of Beau’s excited greetings, and was flexible when our schedules needed to change. Beau had a great time playing with Eliot and we felt confident and comfortable with her!”

“Sarah took great care of our kitties even though I admittedly dropped the ball on an important instruction. She was very understanding and I really appreciated her commitment!”
