“Kate was a gem and truly saved us when we were in a pinch. My dog had a severe allergy flare up when we were on vacation and was in need of a rest day with some TLC. Kate and family went above and beyond to give him all of the blankets, cuddles, and relaxation he needed while we continued hiking in high humidity and wet conditions. I’m super careful about who cares for Tux and am glad I put my trust in Kate! We made it home without worsening Tux’s allergies, and he’s doing much better now.”

“Joseph was great; our dog came home happy and clean. From the pictures Joseph sent it looks like he had a good time playing with a few other dogs. I would highly recommend Joseph!”

“Bailey took excellent care of our beagle Sam! He had a great time playing with the other dogs and exploring their big yard and farm fields. Bailey sent regular updates and photos so we knew Sam was happy and not missing us too much. We are so grateful to have such a great place to leave him when we travel!”

“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both in my own home and for friends and neighbors. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and am very in tune with their needs. I now have a sweet and playful Morkie puppy of my own who loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy if they enjoy canine companionship! I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved-just like family, while you’re away. I’m a homemaker with a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m home throughout the day and available to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just a calm presence nearby, I’m able to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I create a calm, loving, and safe environment where dogs can feel right at home. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and take special care to ensure their comfort and safety at all times. While my yard is not fenced, I always take dogs out on a leash for fresh air, bathroom breaks, and walks as often as needed. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I’m dedicated to making sure your pup feels secure, cared for, and happy during their stay. I also share my home with a small, quiet cat who keeps to her own gated-off area, so your dog will still have their own peaceful space without feline surprises.

“Nieves & Joey were AWESOME with my pup- she adored her time there, and we were very appreciative of their accommodation of an early drop off and a late pickup. Will definitely look into booking with them again!”

“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”

Kim H.

“Daisy did a great job taking care of my precious dog Bailey on 10/26/23! She sent unsolicited pictures and texts throughout her stay to keep me up to date with how things were going and was very quick to respond whenever I texted her! Lastly, when I picked her up, Bailey was all brushed out and looking great!”

“I was so comfortable leaving my dog with Karen. She was highly experienced at caring for dogs (hers and others); offered a warm, comfortable family for Mickey to adapt to; and was super communicative. Strongly recommend.”

Alexandra B.

“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

Blair K.

“Jaclyn took wonderful care of our dog. She clearly loves dogs and took her on lots of walks and field trips. I received several photos of my dog on outings as well as in her home. She responded quickly to our initial request and was flexible when we had to adjust our schedule.”

Phoebe G.

“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”

About: I have 20+ years experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. From young puppies to elderly dogs. I can go at your pets pace to ensure their comfort and happiness when you are away. I previously owned a dog with extensive medical issues, including epilepsy, so I am very experienced in taking care of special needs pets, administering medications and handling medical emergencies. I am available any time of day and any day of the week. Very little notice is needed for me to fit you in my schedule. Pets are welcome to be on the furniture in my home if that is something you allow in yours. I have a peaceful and quiet home with a fenced in yard and lots of loving attention for your pet.

“William was responsive in answering my nervous nellie questions before I decided to book a two-night overnight stay of our two dogs with him. He was prompt with ongoing communication and listened carefully to our questions and concerns when we met in person for drop-off. He was on time and shared a photo of our dogs each day.”

Julia C.

“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: I know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. I am currently in school part time and I work as a house cleaner on the days that I do not have school. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them, while checking on the pups throughout the day and staying overnight with the pups! My partner, his 6 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together. While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!

About: We are an energetic family that love animals. We will make sure your animal is well looked after and receives the love it deserves ! I will be off this summer and will be home throughout the day to take care of your animals. We can also look after your animal over night. We live in a dead end neighborhood where there are not many cars that pass through. We will make sure there is always a set of eyes on your animal.

About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request this summer has been from folks on visiting who would like me to day sit at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. This summer I am taking a sabbatical to my career job which means more hiking, walks and freedom to spend time with your pet- with flexible scheduling :) While my home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence, pets are never left unattended in the area. Happy to board with your routine in mind in terms of crating or free range of our home and total pampering. Pet sitting at your home is welcome too!

About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was a child. I am a natural animal lover. I can also say the same for my husband. We love animals ! I am currently my friends go to dog watcher/walker. Your fur baby will be treated with love and respect in my care !!! I am currently working from home. My husband and both have remote jobs. Your precious baby will have access to our back yard all day long. It is very rare that we leave the house for more than 6 hours. They will also be able to stay in a separate room if needed. We will often take our dogs to the neighborhood park to play fetch and run out some energy! IAce ( mini Aussie) is 8 years old and we also have Nala ( chocolate lab) is 5 years old. Playing fetch and running around is part of our daily routine.
