About: As long as I can remember,I’ve had a love for animals! I’ve been house/pet sitting for 8 years I care for every animal there is including farm animals and even exotics such as snakes!!!! I currently work for myself primarily cleaning houses and pet sitting! This is my specialty! I love all animals (except spiders!) but so long as they are in a tank I’m okay !!!! I will care for your fur babies as if they were my very own. I will make sure they are happy and safe while you’re away! My husband doesn’t call me the animal whisperer for nothin!!! ☺️

“Emily is great! I appreciate the notes she leaves for me on how the baby did.”

“Annette was great.”

“It is apparent when you see Ievet, interact with your dog that she's a dog lover and she enjoys her job. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog loves her and that is important to me. She has knowledge in canine care and that is important when considering a dog sitter. I highly recommend Ievet.”

“Malala and my dog are perfect for one another. My dog was attracted to Malaea immediately. My dog has separation anxiety but not with her. Mila was happy to go for her walk and it took no time for her to warm up with Malaea. One gets so much from hiring Malaea. She’s showing me how to train my dog but thie steps she gives are easy to follow so I’m not overwhelmed. I can tell Malea is trustworthy and very capable of providing a wide range of services. I’m so glad to choose her!”

“Sarah is a genuine pet lover. She has watched my dogs on numerous occasions and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences. I would highly recommend her as a pet caretaker. You really couldn’t have a more caring and responsible person to watch over your animals.”

About: I pride myself in providing high-quality care to your precious loved ones, when you’re not able to! I ensure that high-quality care is provided by understanding exactly how you would provide care to your pet, and aiming to Exceed you and your pet’s expectations! I ensure responsible and safe care by maintaining liability insurance to mitigate risk as well as adding security and comfort to pet owners and myself. I remain knowledgeable and educated about best practices, training techniques, and grooming techniques. I spend my free time, educating myself on all things pets, from body language to responding to commands, to health concerns, to the most tasty, natural, homemade dog treats! I’m experienced with various pets and animals of all kinds, from livestock, to small farm animals, to pets like dogs, cats and birds (house birds or large birds like an African macaw) reptiles, and rodents, but I do Prefer dogs (🤭🤫). This does not mean that I provide better care to any one animal over another; it just means that I personally receive the most joy from my interactions and experiences with dogs and it’s generally the most rewarding experience for me. My ability to care for other animals is not hindered by my preference in any way, and I’m not bias. I truly care for every living animal, and I absolutely adore nature! My goal is to continue to live happily while providing specialized, high-quality care for those in life that bring me organic passion, drive, and joy! I hope you will allow me the opportunity to meet you and your pet/family member, and start building a valuable relationship! ☮️ Pet care is my schedule and my priority. I am dedicating 100% of my time to caring for animals and the needs of others. This fits very well in-alignment with my passion and purpose for helping others in this life! I care for pets in my home or in my clients home, as they would expect me to. If there are specific wishes, once, desires, needs, I absolutely follow those instructions ensure that I am paying close attention to detail. Unless the home/pet owner is aware, I would not bring any outside animals into the home while caring for them. I offer general companionship services, walking/hiking services/grooming services - inclusive of bathing, ear, cleaning, and nail trimming, and basic training.

About: I have always had a furry friend around my house. I believe animals are the best company. I enjoy spending time with animals no matter their breed and believe every animal deserves a solid chance at a day well spent. I am currently a full time college student. I plan to help out whenever I am able to around my class schedule. I am flexible with my availability around my class schedule and will work with anyone to find a schedule that works best for them. I am comfortable caring for your pet in whatever way you prefer. I have always crated my dogs while I’m not home for their own safety, however, I understand that that technique may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

“Sam was energetic and perfect for Chloe. She brought her out of our neighborhood and let her socialize at the local park which is just what she needs. She even sent pictures! Definitely will be using her again”

About: I’ve had dogs & cats my whole life, my mom worked full time so it was my responsibility. I also nannied for 5 years so I have plenty of patience & know what it takes when it comes to little buggers! I recently moved to the area so my availability is extremely flexible. I can do mornings, afternoons, nights, and most weekends. While you’re out skiing or enjoying the winter, you don’t have to worry about your furry friend getting enough attention or exercise! I have animals in my home already so I will only be doing over nights or day care in your home! I’m extremely respectful & as long as there is clear instructions everything should go smoothly. I can feed, water, bathe, let them out, bring them to appointments, whatever is needed. These things should be stated & apart of the agreement before the plan is set & stone. I look forward to me you & your little one!

About: Experience with both senior and young cats and dogs. Have given animals meds, eye treatments, and have experience with clipping nails and grooming. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I am a full time student so my schedule is currently limited to Tuesday& Thursday after 12 and all day Friday I do appreciate scheduling at least a day before, but I will accept same day bookings! I appreciate information about your animals routine (wether they are crated at night, times they usually go out, high enery, low energy, feeding schedule, and other things that will allow me to give the most thorough care I can) so I can properly care for them. Also please give me a heads up about food or toy aggression before hand (it doesn't necessarily mean I'll deny service I just want to be warned so I can be extra cautious)

About: I've been in contact with dogs as long as I've been walking and talking. My parents always had a pack of 4 running around the house and my brothers and I were frequently helping out with feeding, walking, etc. I used to spend a lot of my weekends with my mom’s poodle, trimming his unruly coat! I also have owned rats, fish and cats, and am comfortable caring for them, as well as birds. Just let me know if you have a smaller critter that needs some care! I have experience with farm animals such as horses and chickens, and am happy to watch goats, cows, you name it!! My Service Dog in Training, Artemis, and I are currently travelling across the US together! We’re currently in home in Maine again and offering services all over! I’m available any day of the week, all hours of the day to hang out with your pet :) I clicker train my dog, Artemis, my service dog, and have mini training sessions everyday with her. I'm more than happy to include your dog if you let me know what you'd like to work on. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my late mastiff mix came into my care with an extreme case of stranger reactivity that I managed. So if your pup is timid or shy, I will for sure still take them on and give them the best experience catering to their specific fears. I know owning a reactive dog can be isolating and stressful. Let me take some of that stress away by being understanding of your pups and their needs! I’m more than happy to arrange meet and greets to discuss fido’s specific needs, and let them get used to my presence. Understanding and listening is important in managing reactivity, and I’m more than happy to be that person!

About: I always tune into the unique personality of each animal and I don't rest until I'm sure the animal knows its safe, loved and cared for. Since I was born I have loved animals so genuinely and patiently that I've never encountered a problem, even with the hard to figure out ones. I love them all and my husband does as well. Therefore we treat our pets like they're one of us, with plentiful attention. We are complete home-bodies. We like spending time outdoors, and going for walks. Our home is very inviting as well, with a fenced yard, multiple spare rooms, close to many trails near by and lots of spare blankets and pillows. Feel free to give any advise on how to care better for your dog, and I will be more than happy to accommodate.

About: I have been caring for animals basically my entire life. I have spent two weeks at a clients home before to watch their dog while they were on the road. I have experience with my own animals as well as have raised many types of animals including but not limited to dogs,cats, reptiles, farm animals, etc. I was the person that fed them, walked them, provided comfort and performed any other necessary tasks needed in order to make sure the animals needs are met. Currently I have a very open schedule. I am busy most Tuesdays right now from 1-4 pm. Besides that my schedule is open to play, watch, feed, walk or whatever you need me to do. I will make sure your pet is safe while in my care whether it be on a walk or playing outside and I will supervise your pet around any other animals.

About: I live on a 26 acre farm, with all sorts of animals, I have grown up with them and have learned how to love and care for them all.
