“I am writing to recommend Nathan as a pet care provider. Nate has been doing pet care services now for going on 10 years. (In addition to providing this service, he also does house sitting.) Nathan is a pet owner himself and has helped me whelp 3 litters of German Shepherd pups, as well as raise/train my current German Shepherd. Nathan is a very responsible pet owner and a consummate professional. If you are looking to hire someone who will give your pet(s) the care and attention they deserve, please consider Nate for the job. You won't be disappointed!”
6. Jamie P.
“We have had a great experience with Jamie! We have a new baby and a toddler, and getting our dog out for walks sometimes feels impossible. This is our first time hiring a dog walker and she has made us feel so comfortable, and our dog sure appreciates it! Our dog is a little nervous and Jamie has worked hard to make her comfortable going for walks with her. She is very communicative, flexible, and responsive. Cant say enough good things!”

10. Megan K.
About: I’ve been around animal my whole life, including larger/more difficult to handle dogs. My amazing labrador Lincoln is around 105 lbs and VERY energetic (we call him a wolf), which has greatly helped my experience with larger dogs. I’ve also gone through puppy training and sitting, so I can handle dogs of all different temperaments! I cannot wait to meet your furry best friend!! I’m currently a student at the University of North Florida, seeking a part time job of dog walking. This is along with my other job as a bartender. I don’t offer pet sitting as I am currently living in the dorms at the University of North Florida for the Fall Semester full time.
11. Kay B.
“Kay is great! Super communicative and great with our pup!”
12. Allison C.
“Allison is an awesome pet sitter! She's responsible, sends lots of pictures/text check ins (which we love!) and always leaves our house as clean as she found it. We love her laid back personality and the fact that she has experience working in a veterinary setting - plus, our animals love her :) It makes traveling so much easier knowing that our pets are being so well taken care of.”
13. Emma B.
“Emma did a wonderful job looking after my husky Luke. She was conscientious about his special needs and was a wonderful communicator.”
14. Carly W.
“Another great booking with Carly! Such a relief knowing Harley is well cared for as I have had to travel on short notice to deal with family health issues.”
15. Erin D.
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 were specialtists.) I’m currently working with the ability to come home during lunch. I am available for walkies before work, during lunch, after work and prior to bedtime. 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. Ilsa G.
“Great job! Lots of feedback”
17. April M.
About: I work year-round at a summer camp, and I love to take care of animals on the side. I can come to your home and look after your dog where they might be more comfortable. I have a cat at home, but I am missing my time living with dogs, so I thought that this would be the perfect compromise! I am also available to take care of any cats or other small animals that you may have at your home. When camp is not in session, I work remotely. That means I can work wherever there is wifi! More time to spend with your fur babies. I can do whatever works best for both of our schedules. I love having dogs (and cats!) come to my house, but sometimes I think it's easier for them to stay in the environment where they are the most comfortable. I am willing to accommodate what you think is best for your pet.
18. Kristen P.
“Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and great with our dog Sully. He absolutely loves her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone spoil and love on your pet when you cannot!”
19. Melissa H.
“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”
20. 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.”
