Pet Sitting in Orono

“Lindy and Seth have been wonderful drop in visitors/feeders for my 2 cats while I was gone numerous times in May 2023. They communicated each time they dropped in and went out of their way several times. Once, they could find one of the cats and immediately text me to ask for her favorite hiding places so they could check for her there....they found her and took pictures to reassure me that she was safe and sound. Also, they thought I had run out of food so they went to the pet store to pick up additional cans! They go above and beyond to assure your pets are safe and happy. I will definitely be using them again!”

Heather took care of both the cats wonderfully, sending us pictures every day and also went above by bringing in an Amazon delivery. She also promptly returned the house key she was given the day that we returned home. All in all, she did a great job!”

About: I understand that leaving your beloved canine companion can be difficult. To ease your mind and ensure your furry friend has a wonderful time while you're away, I offer a personalized care program tailored to their unique personality and needs. My services go beyond simple pet-sitting. I'll get to know your dog's individual habits and preferences – whether they're a spirited adventurer who thrives on long walks and energetic games at the dog park, or a more laid-back pup who enjoys leisurely strolls and quiet playtime. We'll develop a schedule that incorporates engaging activities designed to stimulate their mind and body. This might include: * **Energetic Adventures:** Long walks exploring new trails, exciting visits to dog-friendly parks, or even fun trips in the car to change their scenery. * **Playtime and Enrichment:** Engaging in stimulating play sessions with appropriate toys and games, tailored to your dog's energy level and preferences. * **Gentle Training Reinforcement:** Positive reinforcement training to maintain good manners and strengthen our bond, focusing on building confidence and trust. I've been fostering dogs from a local rescue organization, and it's been an amazing experience. I've met so many dogs – big, small, fluffy, sleek, you name it! And each one is totally unique, with their own quirky personality. They're all so different, but they all have one thing in common: they crave kindness, attention, playtime, and lots and lots of love. It's been incredibly rewarding. My approach is always gentle, patient, and positive. My goal is to keep your dog happy, engaged, and feeling secure in your absence, minimizing any feelings of separation anxiety and ensuring they have a fantastic time while you are away. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and texts so you can rest assured your furry friend is in the best of hands. flexible services. I have availability throughout June, and July, and am happy to work with your schedule to find times that suit your needs. Whether you need occasional daytime care to allow you to run errands, attend appointments, or simply take a break, I'm here to help. My services include engaging playtime, assistance with potty breaks, and of course, ensuring your little one is safe and happy in my care. I'm also available for drop-in visits, offering a convenient solution for short periods of care. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific requirements and to arrange a convenient time to chat about scheduling. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Just wanted to let you know that while I love all dogs, I do have some size restrictions for boarding. To make sure I have space for your furry friend, shoot me a message and we can chat about availability! For in-home care, I really believe a dog's own home is their happy place – it's all about feeling safe and secure. I'll make sure your pup has a relaxing time, but we'll also have some fun, keeping in mind what they enjoy and need.

About: I have been a dog, cat, and rabbit parent for most of my life and I love animals. My beloved cat recently died and I am missing the love of a pet but I’m not ready to get another one at this time. I will take very good care of your fur baby. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and rabbits. I work 9-5 but can walk a dog during the day and my nights and weekends are mostly free to care for your pet. Any dog or cat is welcome! I have a two-level townhome with a balcony for outside enjoyment. I live in a semi-rural area so walks will include lots of trees and green areas.

About: I’m available for your animals’ needs - whether that’s caring for them at my house, staying at yours, or just swinging by for walks and pets. I have a sweet dog, two cats, and a 22-year-old ball python I’ve had since grade school. I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents, and reptiles. I am a full-time remote worker, so I am around throughout the day! Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines and give them lots of love. I’m also comfortable with medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs I love all dogs and am happy to hang with your pup at your home or visit for long walks. I do 3+ miles with my own dog and look forward to having different buddies with me on my walks. Boarding: I have an old-time Scotch Collie. She’s a well-trained, responsive, dog-friendly pup, but personalities don’t mesh, I keep dogs separate in our open-concept/split level house. If your dog is older or more reserved, I can easily separate the pups in our space. I live just off a bike path and walk or run daily with my collie. I’m happy to meet whatever cadence of walks your dog prefers. I also have a small fenced area where I offer potty breaks or I will walk them around our 1 acre property. My two long-haired cats are incredibly mellow. In past dog-sitting experiences, they’ve remained totally unbothered by barking, sniffing, or attention-seeking dogs. ⸻ 🐱 Cats If I’m sitting for your cat, I will provide a private room in the house, complete with their own litter box and space to climb, lounge, and settle in. I don’t believe in forcing intermingling with my resident pets—I want your cat to feel safe and relaxed. I will check in regularly for play, attention, and cuddles. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents I’ve had 6 pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals—smart, affectionate, and full of personality (I even broke a toe playing tag with one when I was little!). I’m happy to care for any small critter and always consider them part of the family. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. ⸻ 🦎 Reptiles Although I only have Rex right now (my 22-year-old ball python), I’ve also cared for a variety of lizards and feeder animals. From bearded dragons to leopard and crested geckos, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too. While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey if your reptile/s require them. As a full-time remote worker, I’m available throughout the day. I take regular breaks to go for walks, give attention, or check in on animals staying with us. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule—whether that’s medication timing, playtime, or feeding routines. Animals are never left unsupervised with each other until we know everyone is comfortable. New pets are introduced slowly and calmly, with plenty of space to decompress. Sometimes personalities don’t click, in which case we easily keep them apart so that everyone is happy.

“Outstanding care for our 12 1/2 year old Labradoodle. Jess was so accommodating with a last minute emergency that came up. Went beyond our expectations when we saw our daily photos. If there were 6 stars I would have given them to her! Highly recommend!”

Alecia K.

“Olivia is an absolutely amazing caregiver! I had another Rover person cancel on me mid-stay so I had to find someone to check on my pets while I was out of the country. Olivia was very responsive and took initiative when I didn’t have the best cell phone service to give fully detailed directions. Will definitely book again!”

Jackie P.

“Alicia did an excellent job taking care of my cat, Cloudy. She provided thorough and detailed updates every time she visited, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Cloudy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive sitter!”

Peter R.

“Marcie is great and and very thoughtful!”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.

“Katy did an excellent job of caring for Freddie and LuLu. She is a true animal lover and our cats picked up that immediately. She is a good communicator and kept us updated. We plan to work with Katy in the future!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have two of my very own, Stormy a petite bernedoodle and Stella our cockapoo who will be around during visits. We love to walk outside and can easily do solo walks or accompanied walks with your pet. Please let me know any specific details about your pet as we are happy to accommodate. I have a pretty flexible schedule, am usually home every day and can make sure I am home the days I have your pup! I never leave my own dogs alone for more than a couple of hours. Communicate with me your needs and I will be happy to help! We have two of our own small doodles. We love to go out for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. Let me know anything specific you would like for your pet!

“Brandi watched my cats while I was away on an extended work trip. I’ve booked her before and will book her again! She’s wonderful with the kittizens and takes care of them with the same love and attention I do! She will provide peace of mind when you leave your furry family members temporarily behind.”
