About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!

About: I have over 20 years experience taking care of dogs (and cats and chickens and hamsters etc) I moved to Lewiston to start a small farm and care for animals. I have 5 acres to walk our furry friends on and two separate large fenced in areas for dogs to play. We have a 2 year old husky mix who loves to play with other dogs. I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of animals, whether it be frequently letting them out or giving medication at certain times, I can make it happen! Our pets are our family and we treat them as such. I provide a lot of love and attention, and know how to show your pet respect.

About: I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town. I work in the field of film, which is typically 3-4 projects a month, so I have pretty open availability for pet care in the days between. I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.

About: I’ve always had animals in my house growing up. Anything from fish and turtles, hamsters, and many cats and dogs! I will never live in a home without an animal. I’m available any day of the week to walk, groom, or even board them overnight. I will just need a day ahead to note it. My yard is un-fenced, but I live in a small neighbor hood that is not busy. I also go outside with my dog to go potty and play.

About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.

About: I have been around animals since a very young age. I grew up having to care for my dogs, cats, horses, cows, and sheep! I participated in 4-H for 10 years showing both cattle and sheep. Throughout high school and college I worked at a doggy day care, that cared for both cats and dogs, either for day visits or overnight stays. I was responsible for making sure the animals were as comfortable as possible. This involved cleaning their kennels daily, feeding, and medications. Later, I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 months. I have house/dog and cat sat for various friends and family members throughout the years as well. I am very flexible! I am more than happy to stay at your home while pet sitting or simply come by to care for the pet a couple times a day. Open to working with you to figure out the best solution for your pet. Unfortunately my current lease does not allow pets. I am more than happy to work with you and figure out a schedule/plan that would fit your needs! While I am at a clients house I would stay in good communication with them. In the past, I have sent daily pet photos to the client and sending them updates whenever possible.

About: I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and consistency. I’m comfortable with dogs who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra time to warm up.

I’m also detail-oriented and great at following specific routines, which makes me a reliable option for drop-in visits and regular walks. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, a potty break, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help keep their tail wagging and their day on track. I am available for walks and drop in’s Monday - Friday from 9am - 3pm EST. Just let me know in advance and I’ll be there! I treat my client’s home with the utmost respect. You have nothing to worry about when you invite me to drop in on your pet.

About: I have been fostering for almost 10 years and have taken care of cats, dogs and horses growing up my whole life. I am familiar with giving meds and special needs for dogs and cats as well. I am working part time to spend more time with my kids and dogs and my kids also love new companions we take in and care for. I have just been wanting to care for more animals in my area. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dobermans and a doberdoodle. They are all dog and kid friendly. My dogs are vetted and up to date on everything. My dobermans are the reason I started fostering as they love new friends! My doberdoodle was my foster fail that I love dearly. I do have a couple kennels but if your dog does better with no kennel I do that as well!

About: I've worked at a doggy daycare and boarding. I have learned so many things about animals at my time spent there and they make me so happy. Being around animals is the best feeling in the world. So far my schedule is really open at this point in time. I have Wednesdays and Thursdays off. I would like to be notified early if plans change. I will care for the pets in the clients home and walk the dogs as well. I will ask the client if they have any special routines for their pet and how they feed them.

About: With over 10 years of experience in dog walking, dog sitting, and house sitting, I’ve had the pleasure of building lasting relationships with my clients.

I also cared for another client’s two dogs for over a year, walking them daily and keeping their home in order. For another client, I would take their dog on hikes in the woods nearby every weekday while they were at work.

You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, accident-free environment. Trust is key in building a strong connection with both pets and their owners. I keep you updated with regular check-ins, so you always know how your pet is doing. If you have any questions or concerns, I’m always here to address them and offer peace of mind. As for the environment, I treat your pet’s space like it’s my own. I ensure their home remains clean and comfortable, following their usual routines to make them feel at ease. I make sure they have access to their favorite places to relax, along with food and water, so they feel as comfortable and secure as they would when you're home.
