Pet Sitting Raymond

About: Who's a good dog? All of them. My step-dog is the love of my life, and I'm the person who talks to animals more than humans at a party. I have experience with: Dogs, cats, fish, rodents, horses, chickens, other birds, reptiles, and more. As a former field biologist, I handled a wide variety of animals and completed Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) training. I'm open to caring for almost any critter. Send me a message so we can discuss what your critter needs. New-ish to Rover. Previously, all my clients were by word of mouth in extreme southern Maine and New Hampshire. We recently moved, and I decided it was time to join Rover. My schedule is variable, so just message me so we can discuss what your critter needs. This summer I have lots of availability. Thank you! I am currently not taking client's pets into my own home. I am open to a variety of conditions for home visits/walks/play dates/check-ins. Just send me a message so we can discuss your set up and what your critter needs.

“Incredible pet sitter/house sitter and animal lover. We have had Zayne both drop in and stay over to watch our pack. Taking care of four dogs can be a lot and she nails it. Even with two dogs needing meds, she was totally on top of things. We highly recommend you choosing Zayne as your pet sitter.”

“She was great with my girls! And she accommodated a last minute notice for needing drop in visits. The girls loved her and she spent more time with them than was required. I will definitely be using her again the next time.”

About: I’m Cody! I grew up with 3 dogs, and I worked at a dog daycare for over a year. I’ve done on and off pet-sitting and walking through craigslist and friends over the years as well. I have 2 cats and a rabbit at home, so I’m good with all different types of animals. I can do pet sitting, check ins, and walks. I have a car with a large backseat so I could also transport your pet to a park or a preferred walking trail if you’d like. I am available weekday mornings before 8am and afternoons after 4pm. My weekends are completely open! Thank you for considering me to hang out with your pets and I hope to hear from you soon! Cody

“Stacy was absolutely wonderful with my dogs while I was gone. It was the first time I’ve ever left them and I was apprehensive to say the least. After our meet and greet I felt very comfortable and confident with Stacy and so were the dogs. It was wonderful to be able to have them stay in their home while I was gone. Stacy took wonderful care of them and sent me pictures and updates twice every day that was wonderful and comforting. I have already booked her for another trip I am going on and feel very comfortable knowing they will so well cared for. I would highly recommend Stacy in a heartbeat to care for your fur babies.”

About: I grew up on a farm where I was surrounded by large animals like cattle and horses, which gave me a deep appreciation for working with animals from a young age. My passion for animal care led me to become a veterinary technician, where I spent several years working in a large animal hospital. During this time, I gained extensive experience handling various animals, assisting in surgeries, administering medications, and providing routine care. I also have a 8 year-old German Shepherd named Nala. These experiences have strengthened my skills in animal health and care, and I truly enjoy working with animals of all sizes. Currently work part time so I have plenty of time for your pup/animal! I am very flexible and will do my best to accommodate yours and your animals needs Will love on your pet like my own ! It truly is fun to spend time with different animals and if I could have more than 1 dog I would personally!

About: Hello! I am a graduate student looking to give pups some love in my free time. My parents started their own dog daycare, lodging, grooming and training center that will be 15 years in business this summer. For over a decade I spent my school breaks and many weekends helping out will all things dogs so I have quite a bit of experience including training! I also have my own pup, Nova! I am in a full time graduate program so my availability may change week-to-week but I will be available for a few hours each weekend day at the very least! I have experience with dogs who like to pull a bit and/or like to try to chase birds so I am able to safely redirect and walk pups of all sizes and temperaments!

“Bella took such amazing care of my Higgins like she was one of her own! She was extremely respectful of our home and all our wishes while we were away. I would have Bella back in a heartbeat in the future!!”

“Kyla was recommended to us for a booking she could not make. We met and thought she was so nice and our Pup seemed to love her so we booked her to have drop in visits. She took such great care of our girl while we were out of town! I couldn’t be happier to recommend Kyla! Thank you so much, we will see you again soon.”

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.

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.

“Nicolette was responsive right away when I messaged about doing drop-ins for our dog the following day. She listened to what works well for our dog, and I felt confident that our dog was in great hands! We’ll definitely continue to have Nicolette do more drop-ins for us!”

“Meghan has been terrific with our little old anxious dog! She has stayed with him twice and taken care of our house, filled bird feeders, etc., and she came during a holiday week (most recently) to let him out mid-day, staying long enough to play, give him treats, and take him out a 2nd time. And send a pic! Really appreciate her willingness to do this the day after Christmas!”

About: ☀️Visiting the lakes region for the summer? Enjoy your day on the boat or a nice dinner without worrying about your pet! ☀️ Hi! My name is Ashley, I'm a psychology student at the University of New England in Maine. I am a life long animal lover and I have a passion for dogs! I have extensive experiencing caring for and training my own dog to be a service dog as well as caring for family and friends dogs. I strive to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for every animal I meet. I am comfortable with shy or nervous dogs (non aggressive) who need a little bit more patience and attention. In addition, I understand that every dog's personality is different, so I take the time to understand their personality, to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. No matter the pet, I treat each of them like my own. I am very flexible depending on you and your dog's needs. I ensure that every visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure your pet gets my full attention. ***Please note, I am unable to accommodate pets in my home, drive pets, or care for pets overnight When your pup is with me, it’s all tail wags, wiggle butts, and adventures, but safety always comes first. That way you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and quirks. Communication is key, I’ll keep you updated with pup report cards and lot's of photos. All I ask of you is that if your pet requires a specific routine to please put it in writing so I can follow it correctly!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and even donkeys. I grew up on a farm, and have experience with all kinds of animals. I currently have full days and nights available. I can fit any time or day into my schedule as requested. Taking cars of your pet would be my main priority. I can accommodate any situation needed. Plenty of flexibility. I grew up on a farm, and also have had half a dozen dogs and cats.

About: I have been taking care of dogs big and small since I was 10 years old, as well as pet fish, hamsters, guinea pigs. I’ve always offered to help family friends neighbors take care of there’s as well wether it’s walking, bringing them on rides, feeding, bathing, or just giving lots of love to them while there owners are gone. I’ve also worked at a couple farms before so I have plenty of experience with all sorts of animals and a very big heart for every single one of them. I am working full time locally with Sundays and Mondays free! I have a big vehicle so if they are ok in the car I can bring them to the lake, for a walk on one of the local trails, or just for a ride on a nice day. I love spoiling my own pup so yours are gonna be spoiled just as much! Most dogs I’ve been around have been put in crates weather they were being trained as a puppy or can’t be left out in the house alone so I know how to handle that if needed at any time. I make sure there water bowls are ALWAYS full and when to feed them. I clean up there messes if needed and try to keep things tidy even if they just take everything out again. I give them lots of pets and attention and learn there attitudes and personality as well as I can so I know them better and they can trust me.

About: Something that sets me apart is I have experience with cats recovering from surgery and procedures as well as administering medication in a gentle positive way. I work full time but have ample time on weekends and extra time during after work hours. I can also make time in mornings during the week before work! I will not be bringing pets into my home just for the safety and respect of my own cats. But in your home I would be happy to tend to litter and any other necessities to make the cat’s environment comfortable.

“This was Lola’s first time with me and my 5 furry friends. She did a wonderful job, and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her.”

“Julianne was great and definitely comfortable with a big dog. Moe really took to her. She was prompt and responsive. Looking forward to having her come again.”

About: With 30 years of experience, previous dog training, your pup, senior, any age dog is in caring and attentive hands. I interact, play, talk and walk your pet. They have my attention 24/7 full time. I don't split my attention with work from home job so your loved one has literally 24/7 attention! Let's meet or chat and say HI ! I have a small dog of my own, a little whipper snapper Klee Kai who is a retired service dog. But he respects older dogs too. I am a good pet human to those I am caring for. Your dog has safe and spacious areas to play and there are walking/snowmobile trails very close by where I take longer walks 3-4 times a day weather permitting and depending on your dog's energy level . I have had hens, rabbits, dogs, birds, farm animals and plenty of other critters over the years so am very accustomed to caring for animals on a daily basis. I have dog training experience. Your dog must be house trained, spayed or neutered and know basic commands,be non aggressive and leash trained and have topical flea/tick treatment and be up to date on all vaccinations. Unless you direct, I don't put pets in a crate though I do have 2 available if you prefer I use it at night. Your pet is with me 24/7 so has company and supervision. I have a fully fenced area but it's NOT SUITABLE if your dog digs under fences or can jump a 4' fence! I live walking distance to really nice hiking/snow mobile trails. I keep dogs on a leash at all times except in my fenced area where they can stretch and for bathroom and play. I adjust my routine to your pet. This is my full time passion. I'm not a kid filling in time and do this because I absolutely love having your pup! I take your dog on multiple walks every day. If I am taking care of your pet in your home, they get the same attention while I'm at your home, though I do prefer boarding at my home. I require owners permission to transport your dog in my vehicle to the hiking trails since I won't cross any busier roads with any pet on a leash. It's safer to drive to them a few minutes away. Your pets are NEVER EVER left unattended and alone in my vehicle. Dogs must come clean (no bad or strong smells), food dishes, adequate food for the time they are with me, a favorite toy (though I have a full box of clean toys) and vet info in advance. PLEASE NOTE, DOGGY DAY CARE is any 8 hour period until 5:30 PM daily. Prefer 8:30 AM arrival but earlier is definitely possible too. After 8 hrs, it's an additional $10 hr. This site doesn't let me customize schedules with time frames. This is full time for me. Pick up/drop off is between 8:30AM - 5:30 PM but can be earlier or later with advance notice. Extended hours are available with prior notice and additional fee of $15 hr. Doggie day care is between 8:30AM- 5:30 PM (8 hrs per session between those hours. Day care is no more than 8 hrs for the flat daily rate. Overnight rates are 24 hrs and $15 hr will be added after 24 hrs I have a fenced yard which pets are free to be in unleashed. My front deck is gated so pets can be outside under cover. Back deck is also enclosed into the pet area and has a roof.
