About: Hi! I’m a student at the University of Maine and a big animal lover. I have three cats back at home and experience watching small dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and making sure they’re happy and safe. I’m a student at UMaine and pet care fits well into my routine because I’m looking for flexible work. I’m able to plan my schedule around classes and make sure pets get consistent care, attention, and time throughout the day. I provide care for pets in their own homes, where they are most comfortable and familiar with their environment. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and always follow their routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions closely. I prioritize safety, trust, and cleanliness, and make sure pets feel secure, well cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have experience working with rescues with severe behavioral problems, working at a doggy daycare and I own my own dog grooming business. I’m currently in school for animal behavior and getting my dog training certifications I create my own schedule since I own my own business so I am available at most times to be able to provide for others dogs as well My pups get frequent outside time for play and potty breaks. They get treats throughout the day and lots of training / mental stimulation. We work to keep a safe environment while being able to play hard.

“Super understanding about taking on a last minute booking, super sweet and attentive with my high energy big guy. Highly recommend!”

About: I am an experienced Rover sitter that has recently returned to sitting as I've started graduate school and no longer working big girl business job :) I am a graduate student at the University of Maine and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up in the south with dogs of all sizes, then moved to Maine to start my program. I moved with my two cats: Nugget and Tripod (yes he has three legs, lol). They mean so much to me so I understand and have the utmost respect for the connection people have with their pets. Rover is a great way for me to love on all kinds of fur babies! I've been pet-sitting since I was a teen and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, chinchillas- you name it!- ranging from small to large, young to old. During the summer- I have greater availability as classes are out and I don't have to teach. I do ask that drop-ins honor a 1.5-2 hour window as things come up, but I try to be as available as I can at the times requested. As I have two pets of my own, I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them to watch your fur babies can be intimidating. I will make every attempt to ensure each visit is as stress-free for your pets as possible. I treat anyone's pets the way I would want someone to treat my own- with love and care!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years now, starting with helping out with my family. But now I have been pet sitting for friends and family, and around 9 months ago I started working at a dog daycare, helping them out there! As a current nursing student, I am willing to work on a schedule that works for you and your pup! I am able to help anytime before or after my classes, and even in between! When it comes to safety, I am willing to do whatever is most comfortable for you and your pup. Whether this is crating your pup during the day or letting them out of leash outside!

“Justin and Eva were very happy and enthusiastic about meeting my dog, Bruce. They listened to all my recommendations and did a successful 1 hour walk, even in the rain! Very pleasant people to work with.”

About: I grew up on a farm with horses, pigs, sheep, cows, a dog and a cat. I particpated at a young age taking care of them (feeding, brushing, removing manure). Throughout my life I have had personal pets as well as helped care for pets of family and friends. I currently work full-time remotely M-F 8:00am-5:00pm. I also have a 9 year old son. I am typically available weekday evenings after work and weekends. I have a runner that extends from the side entrance of my house to my detached garage with a partially fenced backyard. I live in a safe neighborhood and have great neighbors. Three of my neighbors on my street work for the police department.

About: My name is Tori Six and I am 31 years old. I’m currently living in Milford, but willing to travel to surrounding greater Bangor areas. I have many years of experience with all animals. I was the owner of a lab mix, a mini dachshund, many Dalmatians, and multiple cats. I’m comfortable with any animal usually, you could call me Pocahontas. I have many years of experience with all aspects of training puppies, including some doggie sign language for commands. I have connections and great resources to parks/areas to play outside and walk. I am available for any pet care needs. I have knowledge of taking care of animals with medical needs from assisting with walking, changing, medications, etc. could do some minor grooming but not certified. I am very compassionate with animals and will treat them like my own family. I hope to be booking with you! I work remotely so have a pretty flexible schedule for any pets needs. I do not have any animals currently. I am a homebody who always prioritize the animals needs. I treat every animal I work with like my own family. Whether it’s your senior animal needing hand feeding or a young animal needing play time I’m there! Always open to anything you need.

“Abby did a great job with my pup! I will use her again for sure.”

About: My whole family loves animals, and I grew up with a wide variety of pets—from dogs and cats to chickens and even snakes. I often helped care for many of my neighbors’ pets as well, which gave me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m currently in my third year of college at the University of Maine, and I truly miss spending time with and caring for animals. I’d love the opportunity to give your pet the same attention, patience, and affection I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a third-year student at the University of Maine, my class schedule is consistent, which gives me flexibility to plan walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. I’m used to organizing my day and sticking to routines, so I can be reliable about arriving on time and following any specific instructions your pet needs. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my week, and I love making it a priority in my schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking times, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, play, and affection, while also respecting the rules and expectations you have for your home. I keep a clean and safe environment, monitor behavior to be sure they’re comfortable, and will always communicate updates or concerns. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is happy, well cared for, and treated like family while you’re away.

About: I used to work in a Kennel and worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have worked with mean dogs and lovely dogs. I have worked with senior dogs as well. Growing up I have always had animals in my house and I always plan to. I work at a senior care facility in 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts. Seeing as I do work long shifts, my mother is able to run over and let dogs out during the day. I help a friend out at Dirigo Pines every so often, usually for 6 hours, but can take breaks. Other than that I just sit at the house I'm at amd relax. I dont get out of work late, usually six and feed dinner when I get home. I dont have any pets at the moment, but always have throughout my life. I have had a deaf cat, senior dogs and small animals. I can give medication if needed. I also try to take wals if the weather is nice.

About: I've owned a dog for the past 13 years. I now own 2 dogs. I have completed basic obedience class with 1 dog. I have fostered dogs, mostly puppies, and found them great homes. I am a medically retired disabled veteran. My schedule is extremely flexible outside of Mondays and Wednesdays when I take my daughter to school and pick her up. I am very trustworthy and caring with pets. I follow all instructions to the letter and make sure all animals are safe and happy under my care.

About: I worked at a full service Vet for several years. Have owned large guard dogs for working farm for 20+ years. Love to walk them. Can give meds, treat wounds, Experienced with Horses, Goats, Cows, Rabbits, Pigs, & Chickens. Volunteer with TNR to rescue & have fostered several kittens. Took a break to work remote from home, but back to helping with your fur babies🌻 I am currently retired with a hobby farm in Florida and a cabin on Pushaw Lake in Maine. I am home often. Love to Walk!!! I have lots of experience with several breeds and have watched pets for friends & family. In Florida, I have 5 acres of land and lots of safe trails. I have a dog that is here with me. In Maine, I have a wooded lot, lake access & a beautiful safe neighborhood for walking. Can cuddle your fur babies or get them out for a good walk. We can play games & learn tricks.

About: As a pet lover for my entire life, I am very open to who I will take in. I have taken care of my family’s dogs and cats. As well as friends’ pets as well. Not just our small pets. I worked on my family farm in the middle of Maine near Dover-Foxcroft. That included Horses, chickens, occasionally some cows and donkeys. I would love to take care of your pets for whenever you need me to. Just give me any details about them. Medical, whether they are in heat, spayed or neutered. I will be sure to accommodate accordingly. You can contact me via email, call, or text. For those who need service at their home, I would gladly organize that with you as well. Small, medium and large pets are all welcomed. As for cancellations and early pickups, I will do my best to be as flexible as I can. As this is for the pet, not the money. ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and I’m a mom of a little boy. I have pets of my own that I take care of on a daily basis. I have integrated my son into my pets lives and they’re all best friends. Being with animals has always been a major part of my life! Currently not offering in home services, or house sitting services. However, when checking in or walking pups I do make sure water bowl is filled if I notice it’s low and I make sure to bring a pop up water bowl on long walks in the summer.

“Jazlynne was our saving grace! When our care fell through, Jazlynne excitedly agreed to help care for our dog while we got some photos taken in Acadia. Her communication was 10/10, she was friendly, punctual, and incredibly helpful! I would absolutely recommend her.”
