Jess communicated well before and throughout the stay, sent updates and pictures, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. When our travel plans were delayed, she was flexible and stayed later than planned so Rollo wouldn’t have to be alone too long, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, Rollo was happy and content when we got home.

About: I am always the first to be called when a friend needs doggy daycare or house sitting with dogs, cats, and often other animals. I’ve fostered and found homes for rescues internationally and domestically. I’ve worked for a doggy daycare where I was responsible for 50-70 dogs with a crew of 2-4 people. I also spent a few months off and on taking care of 10-22 huskies while part of the herd were sled racing. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and enjoy seeing all of their unique personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was small. We always had cats when I was little, as well as ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, my turtle boy China B, parakeets, and a Senegal parrot foster. I was surprised with a rescue dog when I was 10, Hemingway. It was an amazing experience and I helped train Hemmy to be a service dog for my grandmother who was visually impaired. Winter rates are now $250/day for basic overnights, includes 3 pets. Will adjust include extra rates accordingly to animals and household needs. I’m self employed and have the flexibility to set my daily schedule around your animals needs and regular routine. Lots of scritches, play time and love are part of my commitment to your pets. I am available for short and long walks (depending on your animals needs and ability), playtime, companionship, love and affection, meals and snacks as well as monitoring medication if needed.

Kirk is incredible and we are already brainstorming reasons to have him pet sit :P He takes such good care and consideration of the pet’s needs. I saw how the other pets looked up to him for safety and comfort. He took great care of our anxious girl. Thanks Kirk!

Our little dog was in the best of hands with Jessica. She kept us updated with how he was doing, stayed attentive to his needs throughout the weekend, and offered a safe, comfortable indoor and outdoor space to explore. Highly recommend!

Charlotte was a fantastic sitter for my two dogs, one older and slower, one younger and very energetic. She sent me pictures throughout her stay with them and left the house beautifully clean. She even came back and gave them an extra walk when my plane was delayed. She is caring and clearly loves her job! I highly recommend Charlotte to everyone!

About: I have had and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I have left a 20 year career in the medical field to pursue my dream of spending as much time as possible with fur babies (mine and yours!) I am trustworthy and understand fully how much your pets mean to you as I have two pups of my own. They will be safe and loved under my care. I am currently in the process of taking a dog walking and behavioral course through IAP College to further educate myself on caring for dogs. Whether I am walking, visiting or spending the night with your pup they will be my only commitment and they will have my undivided attention. I believe it is best for dogs to remain in their own home when their families are away if possible. I feel that it eases their stress to be able to stay in their own environment with their regular routine. My goal is to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible.

Ann was a great pet and house sitter. Our pets (Oscar & Lacey) loved her, I actually think they miss her. She was a great communicator and sent us photos while we were away. We would definitely ask Ann to sit again and again!

Julia was terrific! Our Stanley can be a little shy around new people, but she came and met him before spending several nights with him, and the second time she came he was so excited to see her! She sent us daily pictures, took him on lots of hikes, and took such great care of our little buddy. We are so thankful for her and won’t be using anyone else!

Kirsten did an amazing job watching our dogs! They loved her and she provided diligent, attentive care to them. Our dogs aren’t easy, from daily meds to allergies, they can be a lot to take care of and Kirsten managed it all perfectly. She kept us very well informed while we were gone, sending lots of photos and updates. She also was very neat and clean while she stayed over. I would recommend Kirsten highly to anyone seeking a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter! We are so grateful to her and can’t wait to use her services again!

About: My name is Tori Six and I am 31 years old. I’m currently living in Milford, but willing to travel to surrounding greater Bangor areas. I have many years of experience with all animals. I was the owner of a lab mix, a mini dachshund, many Dalmatians, and multiple cats. I’m comfortable with any animal usually, you could call me Pocahontas. I have many years of experience with all aspects of training puppies, including some doggie sign language for commands. I have connections and great resources to parks/areas to play outside and walk. I am available for any pet care needs. I have knowledge of taking care of animals with medical needs from assisting with walking, changing, medications, etc. could do some minor grooming but not certified. I am very compassionate with animals and will treat them like my own family. I hope to be booking with you! I work remotely so have a pretty flexible schedule for any pets needs. I do not have any animals currently. I am a homebody who always prioritize the animals needs. I treat every animal I work with like my own family. Whether it’s your senior animal needing hand feeding or a young animal needing play time I’m there! Always open to anything you need.
