House Sitting in Readfield

“Marissa took great care of our senior dog for the weekend! She was super communicative even before the stay began, and sent us great pics of our guy to keep us updated. She also checked on our chickens and made sure they were all ok, super helpful since they are in different areas and life stages at the moment. Overall Marissa was responsible, kind, and friendly- a great combination for pet sitting! We would welcome Marissa to care for our pets again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a child. I also have experience with a variety of large and small livestock and bearded dragons including one that has special needs. Will gladly look after a variety of pets. I currently work from home so I have a flexible schedule to provide what your pets need while you are away. I am available on weekdays and weekends. I prefer to look after your pets in your home as I feel they are happiest in their familiar environment. I have one mature cat that can be a bit anti social.

“Kim was fantastic- she house sat and took care of our two dogs for one week. great communication before and throughout. Hardy and Mav loved her! And she left our place spotless! 1k% recommend :)”

About: I’ve never not had a pet in my house hold, owning cats, dogs, and even lizards and hamsters over the years. Growing up I also pet sat for birds, snakes, dogs, cats, and fish as well as worked on a horse farm for two summers. My own personal dog is a senior lad at the age of 14 years and have a kitten at home. Ive worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pups, kitten and full grown cats. I love to spend time playing and petting them (if thats what they want) and will do my best to love them a fraction of what you do to keep them happy while you’re away! I work in Portland until 4pm every week day and get back to the area around 5. I would be free to care for your pets from around 5:30pm-6:20am. I can feed, walk, brush, pet, and/or play with any of the animals you may have tailoring to whatever best suits their needs, I am an animal lover and want to best support the critters in any way I can in your absence.

“I will definitely book Paige again as a pet and house sitter. My dog loved Paige as was evident from the photos showing my little Bear smiling from ear to ear that she sent to me while I was away. I could relax on my vacation knowing my pet and home were in good hands with Paige.”

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals in professional and non professional settings for years and have found that it is my passion. I am excited to work with your furry friends! I am an online college student so I have an abundance of flexibility and availability to work with animals during the work week and possible weekends. I am reliable and a fast learner and a great communicator! I will care for your pet however you need and keep you updated when you would like!

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. In my more recent years I have dog sat for family members and neighbors. I have enjoyed being able to give peace of mind to them knowing their pets are safe, happy, and cared for. Owning a dog and cat myself I understand the stress and fear of having to leave your pets. Whether it’s work, vacation and other life events it can feel like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind while you’re away. I strive to bridge that gap and be able to provide peace of mind. My dog is a rescue and came to me with some behavioral challenges: fear, reactivity, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors. I know from experience leaving a pet that has some big feelings at times can be even more challenging and thats where I come in. To offer you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat will be safe and cared for with me. I firmly believe in the saying no bad dogs and would love to get the opportunity to take one worry off your plate while you are away! I have summers off and am able to be around as much or as little as needed for your pet in the summers as that is a busy time for vacations. I do structured schedules with play, train walk and rest times with pets. I can also create scheduled enrichment times throughout our time together. I try to cater what we are doing based on needs of the dog so they are fulfilled.

“Jason was fantastic. He helped me in a pinch and was prompt, communicative and generally happy to spend time with Chloe (my dog). Received photos and updates. Very good experience, will certainly book again. Thank you Jason!”

“Highly recommend Erin for your critter care!! 11/10!!! She watched out 2 dogs, cat, chickens, and house for a week and a half and did such an amazing job. She was very communicative, giving us updates every night. She left the house cleaner than when we left and just did such a good job with our animals. We will absolutely be having Erin help us again and you should too!!”

“Once again Liseli provided us with a piece of mind knowing our beloved Elvis was being looked after with the same level of love and caring we would bestow upon him. And our house was also cared for as we would care for it- it was in perfect order when we returned. We feel so lucky to have found Liseli!!!!”

About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.

About: I am just a young 18 year old kid that loves dogs and is looking to spend some more time with them. While also making some money! I am currently taking online classes at the University of Maine Orono and am looking for a part-time job like this to make some money at the same time. Ever since I can remember my family and I have had 2 dogs in our house that each have problems of their own. But we love and care for them no different then we love and care for each other.

“Haley was awesome! She took care of our puppy and cat for a week. They were both so happy! She gave them so much attention and kept us informed while we were away. When we came home the house was spotless! Our pets were relaxed and you could tell she spent a great deal of time with them to keep them entertained. We will definitely hire Haley again!”
