1. Megan K.
“Megan was great. She was very flexible with drop-off and pickup times, sent us plenty of pictures, and even sent us home with some homemade doggie treats. Would definitely recommend.”
2. Adam B.
“From the moment we met Adam outside his lovely home, we felt felt very comfortable leaving our two senior dogs with him for 6 days. He seemed very comfortable with our guys and introduced them to his dog pack he had there. He managed their personalities and made sure everyone was safe. We received daily texts with pictures and updates to their goings on, and our dogs were doing very well. He told us they were getting along with lots of dogs and that was really comforting especially since our dogs get very little interactions with others dogs at home. When we came to pick them up, they were relaxed, happy and got right back to their usual routines of lounging. We were very happy with the care Adam gave our dogs and would absolutely bring them back to him next time we need doggie care in the Belfast area. Thank you, Adam!”
3. Ana L.
“She is amazing with my timid dog and captured some amazing photo updates during his stay! Her set up and farm are perfect for any dog frightened of the vet or clinical settings. It has worked wonders on my sweet old dog and he loved his stay so much. Thank you for going above and beyond in all the wonderful updates.”

About: People say I am an animal whisper. Specifically pets. However, I don’t consider myself a whisperer. I call it RESPECT. I treat any animal like it’s my own (I have 5) and I get on the same level with the furry friend (both literally and intellectually). And yes, people may think I’m weird because I talk to the animals out loud but I believe animals who are living organisms (like people) get RESPECT! I currently work part-time. But that won’t stop me. I have 4 days off usually through out the week. Depending on my schedule I’m going to provide services on my days off of my part time job. If a time will not work for both you and me then I will make a priority to try and arrange a time to provide a service as soon as possible. I will walk your furry companions as long as you would like. If it’s really hot out no matter if it’s a short or long walk, I can bring a container and a thing of water as well as during the walk. I will provide rest breaks in the shade. Pet sitting I will play with them, make sure there food is always available (clients preference) and if they need to go out I’ll be happy to take them out.
5. Alex L.
“Alex took great care of our lab. She communicated well, staying in touch with texts and pictures. We would definitely book another stay with Alex!”
6. Tanya W.
“Tanya is amazing! Dexter loves staying with Tanya. He gets spoiled rotten in the best way when he goes to see Tanya. He gets so much outside time and even has his spot on the couch. I’ve brought Dexter to Tanya multiple times and will definitely bring him to her again. She really is the best!”
7. Eugene & Gale L.
“Gene and Gale were so great! Treated my little guy as if he was their own, so accommodating to his needs and gave him all the love! Highly recommend!”
8. Joy M.
“Our dog loved staying here!”
9. Pat T.
“I whole-heartedly recommend Pat for pet-sitting services! She is a dedicated and deeply caring person who understands dogs and their psyches very well. She also has excellent communication skills and patience! She went above and beyond during my dogs' stay with her to ensure their physical and - equally if not more important - psychological well-being.”
10. Bethany H.
“I am so grateful for Bethany and her family for the loving care they give to my Australian shepherd, Remi. They care for her and treat her as part of the family. My affection and confidence may best be expressed by sharing that Bethany is listed in my contacts as “ Remi’s Rover Mom. “ I highly recommend 🙂🙏🐕”
11. Jillian W.
“Jillian was very accommodating and flexible to us. Chadwick did have a good time under her care with the other dogs. I could not thank her enough for accepting Chadwick last minute. Thank you Jillian!”
12. Alanna R.
“Amazing sitter, kept us updated the entire time and sent photos with every update. Alanna made sure our little girl was well taken care of and comfortable. Will definitely return for any future trips. ☺️♥️”
13. David B.
“David was great with our dog Mack. He updated throughout the time he had Mack. I would recommend using David and I know we will use him again.”
14. Elizabeth C.
“Elizabeth is one of the most caring, dedicated people I have ever seen when taking care of her own pets, or “dog sitting” the neighbors/friends pets. She is so attentive and actually very intuitive to an animal’s needs. Animals feel safe and loved around her.”
15. Tiffany K.
“Wonderful as always! Took special care of my kitties, even willing to give one of the cats oral medication without a problem. Will always come back as I know they will be in loving arms.”
16. Melanie B.
“Melanie provided a safe, nurturing environment for our Lucy. She was warm and welcoming when we met, and clearly gave Lucy lots of love while she was in her care. She has a large yard for dogs to play. She sent me pictures every day, both of Lucy playing with the other dogs, as well as relaxing. I felt completely confident that Lucy was in the best of hands!”
17. Tiffany D.
“Tiffany (and Enzo) were great. She kept us regularly updated and she worked with some of my dog’s difficult behavior. She also included some nice long walks when my dog was ready for them.”

About: I provide one-on-one, personalized care, ensuring each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with senior pets, dogs with anxiety, and those with special medical or dietary needs. I send daily updates with pictures, so you’re always in the loop about how your pet is doing. I offer flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings, and I’m always reliable—your pet’s care comes first. For active dogs, I can offer long walks, hiking trips, and plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re exercised and entertained. I am self employed and manage my day to day schedule with lots of flexibility. I am happy to coordinate my schedule to accommodate you and your pet's needs! When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment that caters to each pet’s specific needs. My home is fully pet-proofed and provides cozy spaces for lounging, sleeping, and playing. I ensure that pets have access to toys, beds, and safe areas to explore. I follow the pet's regular feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent. I take time to learn about their habits to make them feel at home. Depending on the pet’s needs, I offer regular walks, backyard play, or indoor activities to ensure they stay active and happy. If the pet is anxious or shy, I provide a quiet space to relax and make sure they feel secure with gradual introductions to new surroundings. In your home I maintain the pet’s normal routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I ensure their home is kept tidy and comfortable for both them and the pet parent. Many pets feel more secure in their familiar environment. I take care to create a calm atmosphere by minimizing disruptions and ensuring they have their favorite toys, bed, and comfort items. I offer tailored care based on the pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, specific diets, or behavioral routines. Just like in my home care, I update the client regularly with pictures and reports, ensuring they are always in the loop.
19. Erin D.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little kid and helped my parents at my uncle’s farm. I truly love all animals and enjoy their individual personalities. I have experience dog/house sitting dating back to 2000 in the Camden area. Since we moved last year, I’m looking to meet new clients and help you with your furry loved one in the Waterville area. I worked in animal hospitals in my early 20s so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from in many areas (but not exotic pets, as none of the veterinarians I worked with had that as a specialization.) I’m currently working from home doing some freelance work and have many opportunities to go for walkies. We are currently without a dog in our home, and I’m looking to get out more. Any pet I take care of is treated as if they’re a member of the family. I believe in spoiling pets with love, but keeping the boundaries of the owner so as not to undo any training. Reinforcing good behavior is always a priority.

“We had a great experience having Jen care for Jadie. We loved that she had a lot of knowledge dealing with high energy dogs and provided a positive experience for Jadie to play with her dogs. We will definitely use Jen to care for Jadie again!”
