I will treat every dog with the same love and respect as I would my own . I have Sundays and Mondays off . Also I am available in the early mornings during the week as well . Very flexible and easy to communicate with . I can easily navigate and assimilate myself in any way to ensure I am caring for the pet as best as possible . Whether that be providing treats for rewarding good behavior to maintaining a proper leash distance on walks as well .
13. Whisper W.
“Whisper has been a longtime neighbor and friend and is an all around amazing human being. Her empathy for both humans and animals is unmatched and she has at least 4 years of experience specifically caring for dogs with high needs and challenging temperaments. She has such a calming presence and my own sweet rescue pup Juni adores her with every ounce of her fluffy being. Whisper has helped me out with Juni many times with walks, feedings, and even sleepovers when I’ve been away and I have always appreciated knowing that my sweet girl is in the absolute best and most loving hands.”

16. Jaida L.
About: Experience with both senior cats/dogs and young cats and dogs. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently work as a vet assistant weekends, and sometimes have class during the week. Best thing to do is reach out and see when I am available! 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 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!
18. Atlas B.
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 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 work a hybrid job as a peer support partner that’s mainly remote, so you can rest well knowing they won’t be spending long hours alone. 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 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. I am a part time dog groomer so I am always surrounded one way or another! My availability to care for your animals is quite flexible, I work close to home and can work around my schedule to accommodate you and your animals routine. My home is a trust worthy environment for at home stays. I am currently working on a fenced in area but for now we have an open field to space to run with supervision.
