Dog Sitting North Waterboro

About: I have been taking care of my family's pets since I was a young girl, but I officially started dog sitting when I was around 16. I have been a dog walker, stopping by houses when families are out of town or at work. I have been a dog and house sitter, staying for as long as two weeks with multiple large dogs. I absolutely love all dogs and have a lot of experience with big "scary" dogs and how to manage them, having grown up with and trained German shepherds. I typically have class from 9 to 2 Monday through Friday with some variability. I am available on weekends, early mornings, and afternoons after 2:30. I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a calm, clean environment either inside your home or when on a walk with myself. I follow each pet’s routine closely, use positive reinforcement, and ensure constant supervision, trust, and gentle care.

“Catherine was very responsive, helpful, and a great fit for the drop ins we needed her for while we made a day trip! Definitely would hire again and also recommend ◡̈”

“Nishat is kind, professional, and reliable. I have two cats, one of whom is high-needs, skittish, and receives many medications. Nishat handles it all with aplomb!”

“Amy is perfect. Our kitties liked her right away, she gave them lots of play time, and she was kind enough to take in a few packages and water our poor basil plant on the kitchen counter that we had forgotten about. Amy was also kind enough to share pictures every day we were away, and she clearly communicated her availability and timing for each day in advance. We are very happy and hope Amy will be able and willing to take care of our kittens again in the future (next time we're away). Thank you Amy!”

“Thank you to Ashley for checking in on our dog Otto in a last minute request. Ashley was incredibly thorough in her update and care for Otto. We will certainly be booking her again.”

“This is the second time Jessica has catsat for Woody during a vacation and it was another fantastic experience for all involved. She is very reliable and sends great pictures every time she visits along with helpful updates. She even brought in my packages from the deck. Highly recommended again!”

About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover offering dog walks, drop-in visits, pet check-ins and house sitting for all kinds of animals. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, potty break, feeding, medication, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to help. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and lots of love. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, with availability for pet care most days. I work independently doing sewing and alterations, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate your pet’s individual routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. I ensure they’re safe, supervised, and comfortable, with plenty of love, play, and outdoor time. I respect routines and follow all care instructions closely.

“Megan was amazing! Nadia loved her, and I am very grateful she was able to check on my girl.”

About: Friends, family, coworkers and mutual friends have trusted me to care for their fur-babies for many years. I have experience with all types of dogs and all types of situations. Whether it be a feed and a quick potty break, walks, or a week long stay, I have consistently provided a safe environment for these dogs. I’m a middle school teacher with a lot of free time in the summer and open afternoons during the school year! I am hoping to fill my time helping your family! I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes in the home. Although, I avoid these messes by being consistent with walks/letting dogs out to use the bathroom on a regular basis. I love creating a safe, but stimulating environment for dogs to spend their energy. As the weather warms up, I love being outside and/or going on walks to get both me and the dog(s) out of the house!

About: I've had dogs all of my life. All of my dogs I rescued, Rosco from North Carolina, Athena from Puerto Rico, Otis a Maine resident (my other half best friend) ,Piglet from Georgia and Thia from Saint Thomas. I've always had a love and special way with dogs. It's all about time and patience they are 4 legged kids. Ive introduced a senior dog who was not fond of other dogs to his new sister and they lived happily in the house together. I've had alot of experience with senior dogs dealing with hip issues and mobility. I am also a pitbull mom so I know all about their attitude. I have went through obedient school and have learned alot and plain on continue training not just for my self but for the dogs we have to be trained just as much as they do. I'm currently working 7 to 3 M-F but have time at night and on weekends in my daily schedule that I would love to fill and what better way then spending with animals. I treat my pets as if they are kids because they are my kids! I'm a dog mom. My dogs have a fenced in back yard they always run around in.

About: I’m a school nurse, and animal lover looking to make some extra money this summer. I have grown up around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, fish and horses. I currently live in Arundel, Maine and have a French bulldog, and two cats. I would love to help take care of your cherished, furry family members. I’m available for daily walks, feeding, and overnight sitting in your home. I have availability this summer through out the weekdays, and some weekends available for pet sitting. I will be diligent in following your care instructions and schedule for your pets to provide them kind, compassionate care. This should help to keep them calm, and still have normalcy and fun while you are away.

“Brianna did a great job taking care of my Boston terrier mix, Gunnar. He's a new dog to me although he's 7 years old, so I shared with her what I know about him, and they got along famously. She was very responsive and communicated well from the first contact, to setting up the meet and greet, to the day she came for two drop in visits while I was gone for a very long day. She took some very sweet photos of Gunnar and told me all about their activities, so I knew he was having as good a day as he could have, being alone except for her two visits. She gave him his treats and took him for walks, and it looks like they had a good time. He was happy when I got home and hadn't touched a thing in the house. I would highly recommend Brianna for your pet!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. I’m patient, gentle, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m available for pet care Sundays through Tuesdays. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of free time those days to give your pup the attention they deserve! Whether it’s boarding, drop-ins, or just playtime and walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog that love meeting new friends. Your pup will have a safe, loving space to stay in. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always make sure they’re comfortable and cared for like one of my own.

About: Every pet is unique, and I take pride in providing personalized, loving care while their owners are away. My top priority as a pet sitter is to ensure your companion feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for in their own environment. We'll get to know each other at their pace, and with love (and a little luck!), we’ll become fast friends. I go beyond basic care by offering one complimentary professional-grade photo of your pet—perfect for your desk or home, delivered digitally (dependent on pet cooperation). You’ll also receive daily updates and adorable snapshots so you can have peace of mind while you're away. 🐶🐱 Whether it’s daily walks, fresh meals, or simply extra attention and affection, I strive to provide the same level of care your pet receives from you. 📌 Note: An additional charge may apply for pets with a history of aggression or additional needs (ex.specific lengthy procedures, additional time socializing with owner, ect) I'm currently working part time as a photographer/videographer and location sound mixer which is contract work so if I've accepted care for your pet I consider it a contracted time. This means other contracts that would infringe will be turned down unless I can find you an agreeable replacement in a timely manner. I care for my pets in my home the same manner I care for others pets in theirs, with love, patience, and attention. Owners being away can be a stressful time for them and I seek to meet that stress with as much comfort as I can provide.

About: I had had cats for as long as I can remember, I have also had Guinea pigs and 45 chickens at one point in time I am currently a full time student at central Maine community college so my schedule carries, but I am always available after 2pm. I have modays and Fridays free and I am available most of the day on Wednesday I have 2 cats currently and my girlfriend has 2 dogs. I make sure that all of the animals in my life get plenty of play time and attention.

About: I am currently in school getting my masters in Human Animal Interactions (psychology). I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I am currently working in the school district as an Ed tech and my schedule is 8:30am - 3:30pm. I can fit pet care around my work schedule as I don’t work long shifts. I am also completely free on the weekends. I will make sure the pet eats and goes out before I leave for work and will go straight back to them and let them back out when I’m done. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.
