About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little kid and helped my parents at my uncle’s farm. I truly love all animals and enjoy their individual personalities. I have experience dog/house sitting dating back to 2000 in the Camden area. Since we moved last year, I’m looking to meet new clients and help you with your furry loved one in the Waterville area. I worked in animal hospitals in my early 20s so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from in many areas (but not exotic pets, as none of the veterinarians I worked with had that as a specialization.) I’m currently working from home doing some freelance work and have many opportunities to go for walkies. We are currently without a dog in our home, and I’m looking to get out more. Any pet I take care of is treated as if they’re a member of the family. I believe in spoiling pets with love, but keeping the boundaries of the owner so as not to undo any training. Reinforcing good behavior is always a priority.
16. Michael L.
“Michael L. has done a wonderful job while watching my dog, taking her out on long walks sometimes on nature trails. He makes sure to clean up for her and also talks to other animals when going by. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a dog walker or for a animal sitter.”
17. Noah B.
About: I raised my own herd of dairy goats starting when I was 11 years old. I have been working with dogs since I was 16, I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and I now work at a shelter. I have loved all sorts of animals from a very young age. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs that required specific medical care (diabetes etc.) I am always willing to learn the proper care for your pet. I currently work full time, but I will gladly stop by after work to give some love to your furry friends. Evenings typically work best! All of the animals in my home are very well cared for, up to date on all vaccines, and very happy. I have a variety of animals including reptiles.

19. Bryanna M.
“I had great experience with Bry while I was working a long shift. She’s great with animals and did everything I asked. Highly recommended! :)”
20. Gabriel K.
“Gabby was terrific with our crazy household. She seemed to go out of her way to put us at ease while we were traveling! I would definitely book Gabby again!”
