“this was our first time using Megan as a sitter and she was super awesome! She sent a lot of updates and gave my dog a lotta lovin! I definitely would book again.”


2. Erin P.
“Let me start by saying that Erin is an incredible dog sitter who clearly knows what she is doing and cares for doggies. She asked questions about how my dogs need to be cared for/ if they have any special needs, she asked about behaviors and how they like to be loved. I could tell when I picked them up that they’d been given everything they needed. (Plus, she has the sweetest dogs of her own). Will use Erin again for sure!”


3. Lindsay S.

“Lindsay was wonderful,if I could give her additional stars I would!! Teddy has separation anxiety but she made him feel right at home. She sent daily updates and pictures. We are so grateful for her and will use Lindsay the next time we need a sitter.”


4. Ava S.

“Ava took great care of Abby for a last minute weekend getaway. She communicated often and sent pictures. I highly recommend Ava. We will definitely book again.”


5. Christina P.


“Christina was incredible. My boxer Logan is my best friend. We are very connected and I dreaded leaving him in someone else’s care for the weekend. But after a meet and greet with Christina I knew that Logan was being left in the best hands possible. And now that we’re at home on the couch, I know for sure he was in the best hands possible. This dog rarely lacks energy, and he’s cuddled up with me snoring. He didn’t want to leave Christina’s when I picked him up which I’ve never seen him do before. Christina provided pictures and multiple updates to ensure us Logan was doing well. Logan was bummed his vacation had come to an end! Thanks so much Christina!!!”


6. Jessica H.


“Jessica was wonderful with our high energy pup! She was patient and willing to work with our pup that’s a bit shy at first, and she quickly felt as ease with Jesica and her family.”


7. Alex L.

“Alex took great care of our lab. She communicated well, staying in touch with texts and pictures. We would definitely book another stay with Alex!”


8. Katie J.
“Katie is amazing with animals, dedicated, caring and competent. My dog Moose is excited every time he sees her house. She provides plenty of exercise and attention. She communicates very well, kept me updated and sent a few pictures. Highly recommend her.”

About: People say I am an animal whisper. Specifically pets. However, I don’t consider myself a whisperer. I call it RESPECT. I treat any animal like it’s my own (I have 5) and I get on the same level with the furry friend (both literally and intellectually). And yes, people may think I’m weird because I talk to the animals out loud but I believe animals who are living organisms (like people) get RESPECT! I currently work part-time. But that won’t stop me. I have 4 days off usually through out the week. Depending on my schedule I’m going to provide services on my days off of my part time job. If a time will not work for both you and me then I will make a priority to try and arrange a time to provide a service as soon as possible. I will walk your furry companions as long as you would like. If it’s really hot out no matter if it’s a short or long walk, I can bring a container and a thing of water as well as during the walk. I will provide rest breaks in the shade. Pet sitting I will play with them, make sure there food is always available (clients preference) and if they need to go out I’ll be happy to take them out.


10. Alanna R.

“Amazing sitter, kept us updated the entire time and sent photos with every update. Alanna made sure our little girl was well taken care of and comfortable. Will definitely return for any future trips. ☺️♥️”


11. Tanya W.

“Tanya did such an amazing job! I will definitely use her again. She took my sweet boy in over Christmas and really went above and beyond to make him feel at home.”


12. Jennifer M.

“We had a great experience having Jen care for Jadie. We loved that she had a lot of knowledge dealing with high energy dogs and provided a positive experience for Jadie to play with her dogs. We will definitely use Jen to care for Jadie again!”


13. Deborah P.

“We really appreciate Deborah taking such good care of our dog, Blu, while we were away for several days. He enjoyed having other dogs to play with and the ability to play outside in her fenced in yard. He came home tired and happy! Will definitely use her services again in the future.”


14. Adriane T.

“Adriane is amazing and my fur babies love her. Spoiled the whole time we were away. Can’t thank you enough. Hope you’re available for my next trip!! Thank you, thank you!”


15. Erin D.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little kid and helped my parents at my uncle’s farm. I truly love all animals and enjoy their individual personalities. I have experience dog/house sitting dating back to 2000 in the Camden area. Since we moved last year, I’m looking to meet new clients and help you with your furry loved one in the Waterville area. I worked in animal hospitals in my early 20s so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from in many areas (but not exotic pets, as none of the veterinarians I worked with had that as a specialization.) I’m currently working from home doing some freelance work and have many opportunities to go for walkies. We are currently without a dog in our home, and I’m looking to get out more. Any pet I take care of is treated as if they’re a member of the family. I believe in spoiling pets with love, but keeping the boundaries of the owner so as not to undo any training. Reinforcing good behavior is always a priority.


16. Emma B.
“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”


17. Adam B.

“From the moment we met Adam outside his lovely home, we felt felt very comfortable leaving our two senior dogs with him for 6 days. He seemed very comfortable with our guys and introduced them to his dog pack he had there. He managed their personalities and made sure everyone was safe. We received daily texts with pictures and updates to their goings on, and our dogs were doing very well. He told us they were getting along with lots of dogs and that was really comforting especially since our dogs get very little interactions with others dogs at home. When we came to pick them up, they were relaxed, happy and got right back to their usual routines of lounging. We were very happy with the care Adam gave our dogs and would absolutely bring them back to him next time we need doggie care in the Belfast area. Thank you, Adam!”


18. Vanessa H.

“Vanessa did a great job with our old dog, Finn. He had great walks on the farm and got to explore some new territory. Thanks Vanessa for keeping the old guy happy while we were away.”


19. Ana L.

“Ana was great! She provided daily updates and lots of pictures! My Bentley has a great time playing with her two boys Jack and Bailey. I will definitely rebook with her again in the future!”


20. Dakota M.
“We had a great experience using Dakota to care for our 1 year old golden while we visited family for a weekend. She was very responsive and provided pictures and details of his activities which gave us peace of mind our first time using her and first time being away from our pup. We would recommend her to others and will use her again.”
