About: I have cared for my own family dogs since I was 10 years old (cats since I can remember), and my friends typically think of me first when they need someone to help taking care of their pets. I've held a lifelong passion for animals (fun fact: my first word as a baby was my cat's name) and I have a B.A. in Zoology, so you know there's a genuine interest! I am comfortable with large and small dogs of all ages, I can lift up to 50-75lbs. pretty easily for those senior dogs that need a little help getting around, and I have experience administering medications both orally and topically. I'm also comfortable with other health needs, just let me know and we can discuss details. I'm able to identify general health concerns including discerning those that may require extra care while you're away, and I will be an excellent and organized communicator so you'll get regular updates on your fur babies however much you'd like (but I'm fine giving you the break if you need, or if required!). I love engaging with animals and am usually that person who's playing with or taking care of the dog at any gathering. You can rely on your loved ones getting the best care under my watch. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me time to take care of your loved ones while you're away. I currently have two cats of my own at home, who are pretty low-maintenance so I have time and energy to spare on your fur babies. I provide companionship, basic training as needed, play and exercise, medication administration, potty needs and basic grooming. We can discuss your pet's needs when you inquire about my services.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for the past five years. I have come to know these pets that I have watched as family members, but have since moved back to California! I have experience with cats and dogs, both my own, and other people that I have watched as well as a few bunnies and even some rats! I am happy to help with cleaning around the house or small gardening activities if necessary during longer trips or anything else that might be necessary for someone to have a comfortable vacation! I hope I can be your go to pet sitter for years to come! I just moved back to the area so I have a part-time job at a winery till about 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but can work around that (just ask!) or any other day of the week! I love making pets feel comfortable and sticking to their given routine. I feel that when the parents are out of town, it can be stressful so keeping things as normal as possible is incredibly important! It’s great to go on walks for dogs and just to have some time lounging around for cats playing with one of their toys. I have experience with mildly aggressive or reactive dogs and semi feral cats and know some tips and tricks to make them feel more comfortable and less scared upon meeting me for the first time.

“Ashley was great. Everything went well and the dog enjoyed her walk. Highly recommended and I will certainly be contacting Ashley for any further dog walking needs.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and love “fur babies” of all shapes and sizes! Flexible schedule before the whale watch season starts (May 23). I just moved to Maine from Virginia. Back home I have a rescue basset hound mix from Puerto Rico, and here in ME my landlady owns a golden doodle who lives with us. Dogs are part of my every day life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am happy to take your dog on a nice walk around the neighborhood, trails, or wherever you’d prefer! Also open to stopping in for a quick visit to play or just let them out to go potty.

“Kara always does an expectional job when it comes to taking care of Nala! She always goes above and beyond with the updates and pictures. Will definitely use again !”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old as a pet sitter, but we got our own family dog as a toddler. Over the years, that experience has grown into a true passion, and I now have 2 dogs of my own. I’m used to all kinds of personalities, from high-energy dogs who love long walks and playtime to more relaxed companions who just want cuddles. I’m all about keeping tails wagging with lots of attention, exercise, and love. I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I am not tied to an office, I’m able to let sit in your home and be present for walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship—keeping your pets routine as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. I follow your pets routine closely—from feeding schedules to walks and playtime—so the feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and supervision at all times.
