Dog Sitting in Orono

“My cat was so calm when I came back from my trip. That tells me in her two 1-hour visits Alex gave him the TLC and attention he needed while I was away. She sent pictures and updates to me while she visited which was very nice. Highly recommend!”

About: With over 4 years of dog sitting experience for multiple families, and nearly 2 years in pet hospitality, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and varying health conditions! I have experience in safely administering medications to numerous dogs including oral medications as well as eye and ear treatments. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs! I am available throughout the week, including weekends, and can provide consistent supervision, exercise, feeding, and administer medication if required. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I believe pets are happiest in their familiar environment, so I work hard to maintain their normal schedule while you're away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding, exercise, medication administration (such as oral medications, eye drops, and ear drops), and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing attentive care, and plenty of affection to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you're apart.

About: A welcoming and gentle environment for your dog. 15-30 minute meet and greet needed to assess chemistry between your dog and my dog, Roxy. I try to be a good pack leader (like Cesar Milan), but I'm more of an indulgent uncle. This means I'm a perfect fit for nervous dogs but less of a fit for dogs who require regular reminders of who the boss is. I'm semi-retired from tech support, so I have plenty of time to focus on your dog. House is dog-safe too; treats are out of reach and garbages bins don't have treasures for even a hound to find. Fenced backyard with no obstacles. Dogs are allowed on couch and bed. Toys available to all dogs in family room. Feeding is done with consideration of the natural resource aggression present in all dogs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

“Leah was amazing with my cat, Lizzie! She sent daily updates with photos, and I came home to a very happy, loudly purring kitty. When Lizzie got sick unexpectedly, Leah graciously cleaned everything up and kept me informed right away—which was such a relief while I was away for the week. I can’t recommend Leah enough!”

About: I'm a dog lover who relishes time bonding with pets. I have two of my own who some (my husband!) think I over indulge with attention. I'm responsible and reliable. I'm self employed and work from home so have complete flexibility in dates and times available. I prefer to avoid late nights, but can be flexible if needed. I'm available to do any of the basic in-home care, including feeding, walking, playing. I'm happy to crate if needed, or any other requirements including administering medicine.

About: Hi, I’m Brock 👋 I’m a dependable, active sitter based in the west metro area, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My fiancée Sara rescued our dog Maya when she was 2 years old, and since then I’ve seen firsthand how much patience, consistency, and calm energy it takes for a rescue dog to feel safe and comfortable. That experience really shaped how I approach every pet I care for—respecting their space, reading their body language, and never rushing trust. I understand that every dog is different. Some are social and playful, others are shy, protective, or need slow introductions to new people. I’m very comfortable working with dogs that need a little extra patience or structure, and I always prioritize safety and comfort above everything else. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I make sure they feel relaxed, cared for, and secure. I’m reliable with communication and will always keep you updated so you have peace of mind. I’m active, responsible, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs—especially getting outside for walks and helping them burn energy in a positive way. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I have a structured but flexible schedule. I work as a golf professional, which keeps me active and organized, and allows me to plan my days in advance. Outside of my golf schedule, I dedicate specific time blocks during the day and evening for pet care. This includes walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure each visit gets my full attention without rushing. I typically have the most availability during weekday mid-mornings, afternoons, and some evenings, depending on the day. I’m also able to accommodate weekend care when scheduled in advance. Overall, I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine and take pride in being reliable, consistent, and attentive with every animal I care for. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and each pet’s individual needs. In a client’s home, I respect the space and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, medication, and behavioral guidelines. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and provide consistent updates and photos for peace of mind. I work as a golf professional, which gives me a structured and organized schedule that allows me to plan dedicated, uninterrupted time for pet care. This ensures I can be fully present during each visit without rushing or overlapping responsibilities. During walks and drop-ins, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with shy, cautious, or rescue dogs and always take a calm, patient approach to building trust. My goal is simple: dependable, high-quality care that keeps pets safe, relaxed, and well looked after while their owners are away.

“Michelle was available short notice for a drop in visit with our new puppy. She was prompt and detailed with her communication. I will book her again.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of advanced reptiles since I was twelve, and have experience walking dogs for the better part of three years. I currently work with two senior dogs (lab and golden retriever), and assist with: daily walking, brushing, and feeding. I have a part-time job, but I'm more than happy to spend my afternoons helping with anything pup-related! With proper notice, I have exceptional availability for a variety of tasks! I believe the compassion, respect, and structure are the cardinal rules of pet care, and strive to demonstrate those with each and every client. My ultimate goal is to do what's right for the animals in my care, including fostering a good relationship with the human guardians of my clients.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have had multiple dogs to take care of over the last 10 years. Along with the daily tasks of my own animals, I would sometimes watch those of friends and neighbors as well. I have also recently assisted in boarding and walking services through Rover and in my free time like to volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. As a current college student away from my animals, I would love to help someone else out where needed to care for their companion! I currently have a flexible schedule that would allow me the perfect opportunity to care for pets! Any and all instructions given will be taken seriously and followed intently. Safety and health is of the utmost importance when it comes to caring for animals and I understand it is my role to do such.

“Kolleen was so helpful to do drop-ins for a few days while we were away and our primary dog watcher was at work during the day. As a beagle owner she understood our crazy beagles very well and I could tell they were excited to see her each day from the photos she sent! She made sure to capture their cutest angles too! I would absolutely trust her again with our dogs for boarding or a drop in visit!”

About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!

About: I have a very wide range of skills when it comes to caring for pets from dogs and cats to small animals. For four years, I had my own dog care business in which I boarded and walked dogs. For the past couple of years, I have spent my time studying and learning medical care of animals. I also have experience of working at an animal shelter with cats and dogs of all ages, behavior needs, sizes, and breeds. I have experience handling large breeds, aggressive animals, and animals with anxiety. I believe that my wide range of skills and experience with pets of all ages will make me a great match for caring for your furry friend! I'm currently working part-time at an animal shelter. This position requires about 15 hours of work per week, primarily on the weekends. Besides these shifts, I will devote all of my free time to caring for your pet! I have many parks near my home and am willing to take your pet on long walks. I would say that I am lenient with the animals' range in my own home as I will allow them on furniture and in any room.

About: Have taken care of family’s dog since I was in middle school. I also have taken care of other family members dogs too. I have experience with obedience training. Have fostered dogs too. I have a flexible work schedule so, I’m flexible to the dog’s needs! I go to the gym and workout everyday so taking the dog outside before and after the gym would be a priority of mine! Keep the dog on a consistent schedule they are on with their humans, I don’t want to disrupt that too much. Keeping the dog calm, content, and safe is my top priority!!

“Molly took great care with our two dogs and gave us detailed reports after each visit. I can tell she loves and respects dogs. We'll use her again!!”
