Carla was great in every way . . . with our 15-year-old male tiger cat and 19-month-old Havanese puppy. The animals bonded with Carla, thanks to her interaction and instincts with them. She sent us daily photos of our fur loves, so helpful as we were thousands of miles away. And, she left our apartment house impeccably clean! We will definitely connect with Carla the next time we are away.

I've known Josh for over 15 years and have seen first hand how he prioritizes the needs of his pets. He is reliable, attentive and patient. Above this, he is committed to the comfort and well-being of any dog in his care. On a personal note, Josh understands the unique bond between a person and their canine companion. I recently had to bring my own dog to his final rest and could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate friend during what was an awful time. Peace of mind is so valuable when you need to trust your pet to the care of another. I can say with complete confidence that both you and your pet will have a great experience when you book with Josh.

Maggie speaks cat and dog and recognizes and celebrates the bond you share with all your four legged family members. She is a professional, a consummate pet provider, on time, responsible and a good communicator. If following the family's directions, providing loving companionship and exercise and a peaceful heart and active or slow motion time in nature is who and what you want for your beloved pet(s), then you could not make a better selection than Maggie.

Jackie is amazing. I am so grateful. First, Sage loves her and she goes the extra mile to do interesting things with Sage. Second - Sage had a skunk encounter while I was gone. Jackie handled it with so much grace. She took Sage for multiple baths and aired my house out. I am so grateful for the way she handled it. Highly recommend Jackie!

Sarah has cared for my animals several times, including a bunny, Guinea pig, two dogs, and cat all at once. She manages her time and makes sure all the animals are clean and safe. she ensures that the dogs have gone outside to go potty and get some exercise. All animals have been very happy after her care!

Marly is an intuitive, responsible pet sitter that my dogs are naturally drawn to! They love her playfulness and attention when she's around - we trust her completely with our two large pups for both short drop in visits or nights away.

Lauren was great with my playful English Bulldog, Millie! She is very sweet and caring, and it was obvious how much she loves dogs. It was nice to see how excited Millie got when Lauren came to watch her each time. She was able to keep her busy and happy so that each night Millie was thoroughly exhausted, and we were all able to get a good night’s sleep! I'll definitely book Lauren again when my family visits Maine!
