About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, I started working at a dog kennel when I was 14 then I moved to a daycare and I also worked at a rescue. I've had lots of experience in the animal care fields, I've done bathing, nail trims, administered medication, light training, and just all around pup exercise! I've cared for senior pets as well as pups around 5-6 months. Animals are my passion and I treat each one with the respect and care they need to feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Im currently working, but I've been pet sitting for years and wanted to expand now that I have more availability. I'm home from 3:30 on and on Wednesdays and Thursdays all day. My doggies at home run and romp around during the day while I'm at work, I come home on lunch to let them all out to potty and play for a bit and then after work it's non stop until bedtime! :) I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run and play, also an unfenced front yard for those off leash friends! I have 4 dogs of my own 2 little and 2 big, to keep your furry friends company while they stay. I have numerous crates to use if needed to make your pup comfortable. Your dogs will become my family during their stay here! I send pictures and updates of your pups during their stay, to make you feel more comfortable and see what your furry pal is up too! Having many dogs makes it hard for company but, I come right to you once you arrive, or can sometimes offer pick-up service.

“I’m so glad I boarded my two cats with Elizabeth! My drop off and pick up times we’re pretty late and she accommodated me perfectly. Everything was super convenient. She sent me updates on my babies while I was away which gave me peace of mind and overall her and Steve are just pleasant people. 10/10 stars! Would definitely board again.”


“Zoe took amazing care of my cat while I was away on a trip. Took pictures every day, played with her for a good period of time, and made sure she was happy. Will definitely be reaching out to Zoe when I need her services again. Thanks Zoe!”


About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)

About: I have a personalized approach and am dedicated to meeting the unique needs of every furry friend. With extensive experience in training puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets, I ensure that each animal receives the attention and support they deserve. My ability to tailor activities and routines to suit individual personalities and requirements sets me apart, creating a comfortable and enriching experience for pets under my care. From basic obedience training to gentle senior companionship, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that fosters trust and happiness for both pets and their owners. I am Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. I live in a private association and have a sizable, secluded yard that borders a stream and pond. Since I work remotely from home four days a week and have summers off, pet care seamlessly integrates into my routine. Each morning, I dedicate time to feeding, walking and playing with my pets before diving into work tasks. Throughout the day, I take short breaks to ensure they receive attention and exercise. During the summer months, I have the flexibility to extend our outdoor adventures and spend quality time bonding with them on the the trails or swimming. Regular grooming sessions, vet appointments, and training sessions are also scheduled into my weekly agenda to ensure their overall well-being. Essentially,d pets are an integral part of my daily and weekly rhythms. I provide pets with a quiet space, leash walks in safe areas, and separate feeding spots to ensure comfort and safety. I integrate visiting pets with my own for socialization and play. Opportunity for off-leash adventures for dogs with great recall. I have a sizable, secluded yard away from traffic.

“Kaden visited my pup two times over the course of a weekend and kept me in the loop with pictures and frequent updates! We were very happy with our experience! Thanks again!”


“Hannah is the BEST!!! I had to be in and out of town for work for two weeks, although my schedule was not consistent at all Hannah was up for the last-minute challenge of watching over Maisey and adhering to my crazy schedule. Hannah showed up on time and spent her time with Maisey (a true senior citizen) giving her the love and attention I hoped for. Turns out I have another crazy week coming up and Hannah was quick to sign up for more visits. Hannah is a true 5 star!!!”


“Amy was personable and professional, and she kept in touch with photo updates when we were away. I believe our sweet kitty was well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”


“Ashley was great! She was prompt with pictures and updates. The cats warmed up to her by the second day, and she fed them on schedule and played with them each day. It is evident she loves animals! We would highly recommend Ashley if you are looking for a pet sitter! Ashley seems to have a gentle, loving spirit. She will provide TLC for your pet(s).”


“Josephine did a great job with my cats, including giving my old girl her medicine. She realized she had not seen one of my cats after a couple visits and found her in a closed room. Two of my cats are shy, so it’s not unusual to not see them. My cat snuck in my room before I left, so grateful she found her!”


About: Hi, I'm Steve! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud human to Millie, my sweet and energetic 7-year-old black Lab. Millie and I are inseparable—whether we’re walking wooded trails, splashing at the beach, or just relaxing at home, she keeps me active and always smiling. I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I understand the unique needs of each stage in a dog's life—gentle attention for older pups, structure and patience for young ones, and plenty of love for all in between. I'm also comfortable administering medications and adapting to dogs with special diets or mobility issues. What sets me apart? I treat every dog as if they’re my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I'm reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy companion, I’m here to help. Millie and I can’t wait to meet your pup! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. My dog Millie and I start every morning with a walk—rain or shine—which sets the tone for a calm, structured day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. In the evenings, we usually head out for a longer walk or spend time at the beach or park. Caring for pets isn’t a side task for me—it’s part of how I live. Whether your dog needs an active routine, quiet companionship, or extra TLC, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I respect your space and your dog’s routine. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and crate training to play preferences and special care needs. Whether you have a shy senior or a high-energy pup, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs and keep stress to a minimum while you’re away. No matter the setting, my priority is your dog’s well-being—and your peace of mind.

About: I was raised along side many animals and have always loved caring for and raising pets! We live on a beautiful 31 acre farm/homestead with our 3 dogs and 1 cat and many other farm animals! I have done fostering for litters of kittens and have experience bottle feeding and raising puppies. I love it! I am a Stay at Home Mom to 2 little boys, 3 dogs and 1 cat, pet care is a regular part of my daily routine! We have crates available for at night crating, and a large yard and long driveway for walks! We would love to care for your pet while you are away!

“We have used Jen a number of times. We are very happy with her and our pets are always in good Speers and well as the house is in great shape. Thank you Jennifer O!”


“Ethan answered our "short notice" request for a dog visit. He walked and visited with Jack; checking his water and food for us. He responded with text messages when he arrived and departed. He is a "Super" dog sitter! Thank you”


About: I've always loved all animals -- and had my own little neighborhood pet sitting business when I was 10. I grew up with cats, and adopted my own cat as soon as I graduated college and got my own apartment. I had her for 10 years, until I had to put her to sleep due to kitty breast cancer (in 2018). In 2020 I adopted a puppy through a rescue organization, and then added another dog to my family when I married my husband who had a bassett hound. My friends have had me pet sit over the years for a variety of breeds of dogs. I'm a self-employed entrepreneur with an Airbnb business and an interior decorating business. I work primarily from home (in Hiram ME ) and have a lot of control over my schedule. I am presently only offering drop-in visits and dog walks at my clients' homes because I already have 2 dogs at home and would like to keep things separate. When visiting my clients' homes I truly enjoy quality time with your pets, and take care to enter quietly and gently as to allow them to adjust. For cats, I make every effort to pet & play with them the full amount of time for our visit. If they choose to hide, I make an effort to coax them out. For dog visits & walks, I adapt to your dog's personality! I'm happy to sit & pet, or run around & play in the yard -- to their (and your) preference.

About: I love being outdoors and exploring, so I would be happy to take your best friend wherever their heart desires. I have always grown up with pets, and I currently have two pups, Kona and Angie. Safety and following owner's requests are always my number one priority, followed by fun! My availability fluctuates some on the weekends, but I currently own my own business and attend college online making my schedule very flexible and accommodating during the weekdays. Ensuring safety and trust for your pets is top priority. In my home we take measures to create hazard-free spaces. Outside of my home, adapting to your pets environment is their top need, and my main focus. No doubt, your pet will receive the dedicated love and care they deserve.

Hilary L.
“Hilary has stayed with my dog Brookie many times (both in my house and in hers) and I always know he’s in good hands. As pet owners, we always worry that nobody will love our baby the way we do but Hilary will! Brookie is always so happy to be with her: he gets lots of outdoor time and play time, snoozes happily in her cozy house when it’s time to nap, and has a built-in bff with her dog Penny. At this point, Aunt Hilary is a household name for us and she’s one of the few people I truly trust when I go away because I know he’ll be given the attention and love I want him to have, and then some!”


Amber C.
“Amber has taken care of my cat Maple many times! She always feeds and scoops little and spends extra time giving cuddles and love! I’m always super satisfied with Amber’s care and never have to worry being away when she is taking care of my pets!”
