“Emily took amazing care of our 2 ferrets every day for over 2 weeks. She kept their pen clean, gave them lots of attention during her visits, and ensured our disabled girl received the extra care and help she needs. Super communicative and dedicated to caring for them! We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and caring sitter! :) Thank you, Emily, for watching our babies!!”
“Eliot is our favorite dog walker. Ted (our dog) is very picky about who he trusts and warms up to and he took to Eliot immediately. She has an amazing/calm/kind presence with our dog and tons of helpful knowledge. She’s attentive and observant, very attuned to changes in Ted’s mood and physicality. She’s more than a dog walker - like an in home dog expert. Highly recommend her services.”
“We had our first well of recurring visits. Sophia did a great job visiting 3x a week to care for our 5 month old puppy and older dog. She has taken her for a walk, fed her, plays with her to get some energy out and makes sure she gets a bathroom break. We are so grateful that she is coming to let pets out while we are at work!”
About: I grew in a home full of dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs from young pups to older dogs as well. I truly want to help and support pets and people in anyway I can. I am a teacher so I am available on weekdays after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I cannot welcome your pet into my home in my current housing situation but I will provide any necessary care to your family including walks, drop in visits, and house sitting.
About: I grew up with dogs, since I can remember, I was watching all of my neighbors dogs before I was even old enough to work. I have no problem, administrating medication‘s, or even giving them a bath or doing their nails. I love animals so much that one day I hope to grow up and have a big piece of land so that I can hold a sanctuary for all the animals I can give a good home too and rehabilitate. This is my full-time job watching your loved ones and helping out in anyway I can so I am fully and completely at your disposal. I have an un fence yard currently so unless you’re comfortable with having them be off the leash I’ll take them for a walk or to a dog park with your permission. I don’t mind animals on my furniture, but if I were in your home and that’s not cool with you, just let me know. All I wanna do is provide comfort and enjoyment while giving you the ability to relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Richard was awesome! He was very responsive and took the time to learn about Ada and her anti-social ways. I didn’t worry a bit while I was away, knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely work with Richard again.”
“Another great visit by Aleisha! Sadie is getting to know her and it's paying off with a less stressed animal when we come home. We know that the next few weeks will bring them closer still and we can't wait for that to happen. Sadie likes her new pack mate!”

About: Hello! My name is Haley. I grew up in a pet loving home my family always had such a fondness for all animals. My house can be somewhat of a zoo with two dogs, two bunnies and a handful of cats but I wouldn’t change it for the world. We all recently relocated to Maine! It’s been terrific seeing the dogs play out in the snow. A true joy. Looking to get out meet people and their awesome pets. I would love to help you take care of your pup, big or small, and whatever the need may be to keep our furry friend’s tails wagging happily. Feel free to ask me anything else.

Years of leash experience with one or more dogs at a time. Can easily administer medications. Monitor play time and keep a watchful eye for any possible issues.
About: I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycares in the last few years where we did boarding. I’ve also worked in a cat boarding facility and have worked at pet stores for about 5-6 years. I was trusted with cleaning up after and giving medications to pets that needed it. I’m currently working part time in Freeport so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets and spend time with them and take them on walks depending on weather. I live in a wooded area with access to tie outs so your pets and I could sit outside on good days and play. I have an extra room in the house where I can easily board your pet but would require you to bring a crate if they’re crate trained depending on the size of the pet. I do have two crates available that I could use if you’re unable to bring their crate. I have 2 cats in the household along with my fiance so they would have to be cat and man friendly.
