House Sitting in Sanford

“Sidney did a wonderful job sitting for us and our 3 small dogs for 4 nights. We hope she is available every time we need a pet sitter. She provided photos every day and there were no issues the entire time. Thanks again Sydney!”

“Caitlin was fantastic with our guy Walter. Very respectful of the place and the animal. Walter even followed her as she was leaving. Will for sure use her services again when we need”

“My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!”

“Candace took great care of our puppy while we were out to dinner! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. Josh was happy and well cared for when we got home. We'd definitely book with her again!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping family members, friends, and neighbors with their pets. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and enjoy spending time with them. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing fresh water, playing, and giving pets attention and companionship. I understand the importance of following the owner’s instructions, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am responsible, reliable, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I work from 2pm to 8pm every day, so I am available during mornings and early afternoons for dog walks, feeding, check-ins, and playtime. I am reliable, organized, and happy to help care for pets before my work shift. I will always make sure your pet gets attention, exercise, and care. Can do overnight care. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their home environment. I follow feeding schedules, keep fresh water available, and pay close attention during walks and playtime. I am patient, responsible, and will treat every pet with kindness and care.

About: I am looking to become a team player in your pet family! As a life-long pet owner, I am looking to care for animals as a part time job (however, full time passion), to bring some joy into my life. I am a dedicated, caring, patient, and attentive care-giver. I will treat your animals as if they are my own! I have experience working and loving dogs of all temperaments including; fear reactive dogs, human and dog reactive dogs, resource guarding behaviors, etc. I am a teacher and have a flexible schedule so please reach out to me if you need something booked even if it's not available on my calendar, likely I'll be able to figure something out with you! I am always open to meeting your pet prior to services to see if it's the right match! I want your beloved animal to be 100% comfortable and for you to feel like it's a good fit. I'm currently able to provide care on weekday mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I can provide more extensive care during the weekends. However, my schedule is typically quite flexible and can most likely accommodate requests. Safety is a top priority for me. As a teacher or young children I understand the complexities and necessity of monitoring environments for consistent safety. My own dog, who unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge, was fear aggressive and required a constant bond of trust and security. Having a personal experience of dealing with a dog that needed above and beyond attention has given me a deep understanding of what makes animals feel safe.

“Lee was able to help us last minute over a holiday weekend and still took the time to come meet us and our dog, Blue, beforehand. Lee sent pictures and updates while we were away and took great care of her. Blue seemed happy and comfortable, which let us relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Lee!”

“We loved having Faith care for our pets in our home, three cats and a dog. Faith had excellent communication throughout and sent us cute videos of our little fur babies. Our dog can be a bit high maintenance and has some anxiety and she did great with Faith watching over her. I would highly recommend Faith!”

Kayte J.

“We cannot recommend Ashley enough! Prior to the house sitting stay, Ashley came to meet us and our pup. Instantly, she made our shy pup feel comfortable. She is a great communicator and updated us throughout our vacation, which put us at ease. We highly recommend booking Ashley to take care of your animals!”

About: I had 2 dogs myself and I cared for them and made sure they were happy 24/7. I have a passion for any size, shape, friendly or non friendly. I love to cuddle with dogs, especially with the fluffy ones. My favorite breed are labs. I had a lab myself and they are the best dogs out there. I’m pretty good giving the dogs their supper at the usual time they eat. I always play with them and take them for walks. Just to be aware of for the dog owners. I have Tourette’s syndrome but won’t hurt anybody or any dog. Just an FYI. I’m looking forward of meeting anyone’s dog or dogs. Thank you for the time reading this. And god bless you all.

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.

“Kaden stayed overnight and took wonderful care of our rambunctious lab. We returned to a well exercised and happy boy. We will definitely use him again.”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Trie provided for our 13-year-old Maltipoo. He has a tough time with separation anxiety and often struggles with eating when we're away, but Trie was absolutely incredible with him. She stayed by his side, took him on several walks a day, and knew exactly how to encourage him to eat. Trie sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, kind, and attentive — exactly the kind of person you’d hope to find to care for your pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for any future travel!”

About: I’ve been caring for a variety of animals for many years. From dogs and cats to horses and chickens, I have a wide range of experience. I strive to find out what works for your pet as an individual to keep them feeling comfortable! I am dog and cat CPR and First Aid Certified by the American Red Cross. **Based in both Salem, CT and Wells, ME so my profile location may change, either location can contact me anytime! I work part time with some flexibility, making pet care available at the time you need it! Tell me what works for you and I’ll see what I can do :) In a clients home I would prioritize respecting their space while caring for their pets. Communication is an important part to trusting someone to watch your pets, I will be happy to work with clients to make sure they’re comfortable.

“Kelsey was so great with Zuzu and very considerate of her needs and desire for cuddles haha. I would definitely recommend her for your baby for check ins or as a sitter!”

“This was our first time having Savanna watch Yoshi since since we are new to the area and it was too far of a commute for Yoshi’s previous sitter. I’ve used Rover for years and have found some hidden gems, and Savanna is one of them. Savanna was very communicative and kept us updated with photos of their evening. Yoshi isn’t a difficult pup to watch, he’s quite lazy, but he is particular about who hangs out in his house, and there were no complaints! He loved having her here and so did we. It is such a relief to find someone you trust with your pup. Highly recommend booking with Savanna. We definitely will be using her services as Yoshi’s permanent sitter! ?❤️”

“Tara watched our rambunctious dog Wes for four nights at our home and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. She bonded instantly with him (which says quite a lot actually for our dog), was in touch every day with updates, and improvised on food when some of his food ran out. TRa also discovered a broken nail and was prepared to take time off from work to take Wes to the vet, although we elected to wait and see. She was professional and caring, everything you could ask for in a pet sitter. I would recommend her again in a heartbeat!”

Mark F.

“As soon as we met Madison we felt so comfortable. She was so kind and loving to our dear dog Angel and was flexible with our unique scheduling needs. I loved the photo updates and reports. I could tell that Angel was happy and well cared for while we were away. We are so grateful for Madison!”

Luann M.

“Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.”

Mary M.

“Heather was wonderful, my Husky pup seemed to feel very at ease with her and she understood him and his quirks very well. I also really appreciated all of the photos and updates she sent!”
