About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a child- when I turned 18 I started getting professional experience with working as a dog trainer and becoming a puppy raiser for service dogs! In the last 10 years I’ve become an AKC CGC evaluator, Do More With Your Dog fitness coach/Trick Dog Instructor, and am a recent KPA graduate! My personal dogs are CGC title holders, trick dog champions, and one is Search and Rescue in training. While your animals are in my care I will continue training practices, or if no training, at least promote good walking behavior. I have experience with all types of dogs from fearful to high-drive! NOTE: I do usually accept intact males for daycare services, just not boarding services. Please contact me directly about any questions! My daily schedule is a bit different day to day but I do have availability everyday. Please reach out with what you are looking for! I will take the upmost precautions with your dog, I carry extra leashes in case of a malfunction. If pet sitting, I check fences daily, never leaving dogs outside unattended and always being aware of surroundings.

About: I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention! I’ll take your dog for walks to help burn off any excess energy and ensure they have a chance to go potty. I’ll also provide the right amount of food to keep your dog healthy and happy. Whenever I can, I love to play fetch or have a fun race with dogs—keeping them engaged and active! For cats, I’ll provide a calm and caring environment, making sure they’re fed, hydrated, and get some playtime or cuddles if they’re in the mood. I understand that cats can be more independent, so I respect their space while ensuring they feel safe and loved. I understand how important it is to treat pets with love and care. As a pet owner myself, I always strive to give my dog the best, and I would do the same for yours. I’ll make sure they feel right at home with plenty of affection and attention. I have flexible availability and am excited to get to know your pets. I truly enjoy meeting new animals and giving them the care and love they deserve. I hope I can be a great fit for your pet! Pet care fits into my routine easily because I’m flexible with my schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or just some playtime, I make sure to prioritize pets and give them the attention they need whenever I’m caring for them When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions they provide to ensure their pet feels comfortable and safe. For walks, I stick to their usual routes and routines. For feeding, I ensure I’m giving the right portions at the right times. I also provide plenty of attention—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company—while respecting their space. I clean up after them, whether that’s cleaning their feeding area or ensuring their potty spots are tidy. Ultimately, I treat each pet as I would my own, making sure they feel loved and well-cared-for.

“Kiana was AMAZING. I last minute booked her for a few days on and around Christmas and she was so gracious and flexible. She took great care of my dog (drop in visits) and even got her a toy!! I didn’t have to worry about my dog while I was out of state because I knew she was in good hands. Thank you Kiana!!”


About: I have been around animals my entire life. I've been involved in the training of 5 puppies, and have a lot of experience caring for larger breeds, particularly active and playful doggos. I have a cat of my own whom I love dearly, and love to make new furry friends. My past experience includes volunteering at a local boarding kennel, caring for senior dogs and administering medication, taking active pups on fun activities like swimming or hiking, and being a live in sitter during week-long getaways. Whether you need someone to stop in and check on your pup or someone to give your companion love and affection while you're away, I'm happy to help! I currently am taking one summer class and am working part-time jobs, so I have time particularly during the morning/midday and on weekends free to take care of your pets. I have a car cover for the backseat of my car, so any adventures we take I am prepared for. I like to earn pet's trust, so letting them come to me and show me what their comfortable with is key.

About: Hi! My name is Madeline. I am a passionate animal person and have been caring for animals pretty much my entire life. I've personally owned dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hamsters and cared for ferrets, snakes, and a variety of livestock/farm animals. I label myself as a true animal lover and pride myself on being able to connect with animals on a special level. I have been a professional sitter/dog walker for over 8 years now, and am ready to take on more clients. I do have a small home so I can only take 1-2 bookings at a time. I always aim to have a respectful relationship with owners and try to be as honest and helpful as possible! I have many, many references available. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am super flexible and always willing to hear your needs and see what we can make work, especially with the busy-ness that is the holidays. So feel free to reach out and I’ll see how I can best accommodate you and your pets 🙂 I do work a full time job M-F, but from home with lots of flexibility. My schedule is designed to be flexible and meet multiple pet owners needs. Let me know what your fur baby needs and we’ll get it arranged. I have a small cat who prefers to keep to herself. My home is dog proof and although I don’t have a fenced yard but I have wonderful walking areas in my community so your pet will end up with more walk time and socialization than just staying in a yard.

About: I have cared for a multitude of different animals my whole life since I grew up on a farm. I have lots of experience in sitting, walking, and bathing dogs. I love animals and would love to look after yours! I’m currently working part time, so my availability ranges by the week. I will always be communicative and responsive to be as reliable as possible. I have two friendly dogs and a large field. I like to put them on a long leash so they can run, and practice recall with treats. I’m very good with dogs on and off leash.

About: Hey! My name is Allie and I am a total animal lover, and work as a nurse. I have an 11 year old dog named Roxy, as well as two cats. I love animals, and love making sure everyone is comfortable and happy. I have a very flexible schedule and am excited to meet you furry friend! I work as an RN, working three 12 hour shifts a week, so my schedule is very flexible to fit the needs of your pet. I have my own senior dog, Roxy. Because of her age I have become very comfortable with giving dogs medicine. I also live with two cats, so I am well versed in caring for them as well.

About: I've had pets my whole life and, in the last 15 years, have rescued, fostered, and re-homed dozens of cats, working with Save Our Strays and Trisha Bruen in the Bangor area. I've been petsitting that long as well, for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I love every animal like my own. I'm mature and responsible and respectful of privacy/property. I work full time weekdays at UMaine, but can do drop-in care mornings, noons (if needed), and evenings. Walking dogs is a great way for me to get some exercise as well! I am not doing care in my own home now (I rent, and have two cats of my own), but in clients' and friends' homes, I am perfectly happy to follow all instructions for pet care, feeding, attention, and exercise, and happy to do a few extra tasks such as plant watering and picking up mail for those out of town.

About: In addition to owning my own dogs and cats since I was little, I’ve been volunteering to walk dogs for a local shelter since 2017 I work part time, so I have plenty of time to help care for your pets! I’m available weekdays but can be flexible on weekends if needed I can easily crate and watch your animals if needed, I have lots of experience with even the most resistant dogs to help ensure their safety

About: My family has five dogs, training has been one of my hobbies since childhood! When it comes to dogs I have been there and done that- there is nothing your dog could do to surprise me. I come from a farming veterinary family so I am equipped to look for any warning signs should your pup need any care during my visit. I also have two cats of my own that are dog friendly and very curious. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and entertained! If your pet has any special medical needs or needs to be administered medication, I am more than happy to accommodate that. I am also a pet parent to two adorable kittens, I know the patience they require and how rewarding they are. Hope I get to meet you and your furry friend soon! Do you have more than one pet? No worries! I only charge +$5 per pet, the more the merrier! I am a law student with a summer internship, meaning I am unavailable during the work week 9-5. I am available the rest of the week and would love to coordinate a schedule with you. Communication is key! If I notice anything is off, I will alert you right away. Every pet is different, some are simply quirky- it is important that I let you know if I see any abnormal behaviour. I have experience with dogs with severe anxiety, injuries, joint problems, behaviour issues, you name it. If your pet needs any sort of special care, I will be happy to help. If I see any concerning behaviour I will let you know immediately and we can plan from there the course of action that needs to be taken.

About: I've been in the pet world professional since 2013. I own a pet grooming salon, am CRP/First Aid certified, Fear-Free and Low Stress Handling Certified, and AKC SAFE Certified. I work from home, so I'm able to care of pets in my home anytime. I have a fairly open schedule between taking care of my own life. Pets in my care are treated exactly like my own dogs are. They are welcome to sleep where they please and spend lots of quality time cuddling on the couch or in bed with us.

About: I’ve had hands on experience taking care of my family’s animals, like an English bulldog, a lab, and a German shepherd. I’ve been responsible for feeding and giving water, cleaning the water and food dishes, brushing, trimming nails, bathing, potty breaks and playtime. I have a great attention to details. I took animal science in high school for all 4 years and was also able to have hand on experience with animals like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. During senior year, me and my class practiced veterinary techniques for handling animals and administering medication in both pill and liquid form. It was honestly one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. Taking that class also helped me learn more about animal behavior and how changes in behavior could be the result of changing health conditions. I’m currently attending university at Maine, I live on campus and have a pretty open schedule, especially on Tuesdays and Thursday’s. During summer break however I’ll be back in Delaware. Back at my home I’ve been able to help raise a puppy named autumn. I’ve helped crate train her and make sure she is happy and healthy. And don’t worry, she’s got plenty of treats for all her good behavior. I can do the same for your pet/pets if wanted.

About: I use to dog sit my grandma's dog, Ava, all the time before she passed away, giving her baths and walks as well as the occasional 5am pee time. I also have taken care of my friends one year old Corgi for a few days while they were out of town. I am a musician so my days are usually very open. I drop my partner off at work at 3pm and pick her up at night. During these times I am completely free to take car of your furry child. I will let them sniff and roam where they may when on leash or in an enclosed area. I will take long walks and play with them as needed so they feel worked out. I love rewarding good behavior so I'll help in basic commands with little treats as rewards.

“Madison was a great help when my cat (Ichigo) was gravely ill with liver disease. She had help administered medicine, feed and changed her bedding. even cleaned her when she had accidents. She made it easy for me to care for her in that stressful time. Madison even went with me to the vet visits, even to her last breath. She truly loves and care for them like their her babes.”
