About: * Please ask about walk/drop-in rates * Added fee for livestock, reptiles, etc. Thank you for being here! My name is Amanda Dickey, 30, animal lover born and raised in Maine. Caring for animals is one of my greatest passions and joys in life, and the perfect way to supplement my income while I focus on my writing this summer. My 2-year old mixed pup, Wally, is 20 lbs and neutered. He loves people and pets and can come with me if everyone gets along, but can also stay with my mom no problem. I am responsible, communicative, and have extensive experience in pet care — from daily check-ins on a 90lb Pit-bill to administrating oral medications, managing dogs with separation anxiety to farm-sits and volunteering at animal shelters. Our pets are an important part of our family units, and providing the proper attention, affection, patience, and nurturing spirit has always come naturally to me. As well as following all instructions very carefully. It is also my priority to ensure you are confident in leaving them with me. I will always do in-person meet and greets beforehand so they will recognize me when I return. I will also send tons of pictures and videos and can even do FaceTimes so you can see how we're doing. I know it's hard being away from your pets so anything I can do to set your mind at ease is my pleasure :) I've been told I have a positive and loving energy that animals are drawn to. Each animal is unique with their own special little personality, and understanding and respecting that helps me build rapport. I realize what a sensitive (sometimes confusing) time being apart from their family can be, so it's really my top priority to be a great source of comfort and stability for them and to provide as much warmth and positive energy as I can. Thank you for reading my notes and considering me as your pets' loving caretaker and temporary companion! Please let me know if you have any questions and hope to hear from you soon. Very best, Amanda and Wally I am currently writing remotely so can be there majority of the time. There may be a family event, appointment, etc. I’ll need to go to, but can adjust depending on how long the pet(s) can be alone for (ex. not more than 4 hours) I’m very attentive and make sure to give the pets care and affection how they want it. From high energy play and walks to low energy cuddles with lots of pets in between.

This summer, I have an especially flexible schedule, but am happy to support you and your pet’s needs all year around. Although it is not my primary career focus, I have been involved in pet care for 20 years as a source of outside income and great passion. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss things further and determine if I would be a good fit for your pet family.

Cannot train but am trained on proper handling, walking and administering oral medication. 19 years of experience with dogs from pup to elder (including dogs with medical issues) and 5 years experience with cats from kitten to elder (including cats with medical issues). I am currently not working and have a flexible schedule for anyone looking for booking!

My current schedule includes every day except for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings due to current client bookings.

About: 🐱🐶 Animals have been my whole world my whole life! I have experience with a variety of animals from fish 🐠 to turtles🐢 as well as dogs🐕 and cats🐈‍⬛. I use positive reinforcement training techniques with our three rescue dogs and I use worship all cats techniques with our cats 😆. I am comfortable and familiar with the needs of puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. So medication💊 and physical therapy💪 exercises are something I am happy to provide! I went to college for animal behavior and animal sciences and have a degree in Ecology 🌎 I completed a 2 year course in wildlife rehabilitation. I will treat your animals as if they were my own and that means they get the utmost care and attention. 🫡 I will respect and follow whatever your babies' needs and preferences are as well as yours when it comes to them and to your space. 💓 We love taking our dogs on all sorts of outdoor adventures but safety is always our top priorty⛰️🦺! I am great at reading animals and understanding the different personalities and quirks they each have so I can provide them with the best care that works for them 🧐 Every animal is different but they all deserve our best! I have a flexible schedule and my own car that allows me to be an adaptive and on call care giver. I don't mind late bookings or cancelations as I understand that things come up. I am new to rover and still figuring out what works best but am always willing to work with clients on what works best for them and their pets. Animals are my first priority but I also believe homes and personal spaces are sacred and I will always treat them with respect and attention. All animals are different so its important to use to always be aware of anything potentially unsafe. Our home is for animals first and there is nowhere they aren't allowed although animal guests and clients are always fully supervised to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Our home is very easy going and has a lot of space for different needs and comforts. In your home, I will defer to your personal preferences always.

“Coleen is a fantastic dog walker. Our dog Elsa is a very high-maintenance terrier that needs a lot of attention. Coleen has consistently handled her well and Elsa really enjoys going for walks with her. Coleen is very reliable and prompt in her communications, arrives on time and is a total delight to work with. I would highly recommend her.”

“Autumn was great. We were traveling on a long, RV trip, and needed someone local to walk our pup when we were out touring. Autumn did everything we asked, and everything went very smoothly. Great communication. We would definitely use her again if we were back in the area.”

“I want to give a shout out to Marisol, who has now come several times to walk our dog and provide support if we are away during the day. She is always a great communicator, responsible and caring, and I have total confidence that our dog is in great hands when she comes.”

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. I went to school and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I am also Pet CPR Certifed. I have my own pet/house sitting business and offer feline grooming! I work full time but am able to pet sit every night, on weekends and do checks on pets during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. Your pets will get lots of play time, go on walks, and get lots of attention. I do like to relax with them and just hang out as well, depending on the pet.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets since I was a child. Fish, lizards, snakes and dogs and cats. I've had a lot of experience with senior care. I'm currently working overnights on the weekends, leaving my day time availability flexible for your needs. I try to make time to get outside everyday and would love to have your pet join in on the fun! Your pet is in safe hands with consistent picture, video and text updates. I strive to create a calm, comfortable environment for your fur family while you're away.

About: I love animals! Cats, dogs, horses, pigs, and peacocks, I've cared for them all. Let me show you why I love animals, and more importantly, why they love me! I currently work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. Let's chat and see how we can align your pet care needs with my work schedule. My own pet is a huge part of my life. He's spent his 15 years of life with very few days without me. My care for him will be mirrored in my care for your own furry family member.

About: I am a service dog handler for the past 7 years. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I'm the go to person in my friends and family for training and care advice of animals big and small. I have owned and cared for everything from small snakes to rodents and horses. I have worked as a dog trainer, a horse trainer, a groom, and I have worked on dairy farms since I was 14. Every morning starts out with letting the dogs out and farm chores. Followed by breakfast for the dogs. After breakfast we do 30 minutes of rest in kennels while I feed the family. The rest of the day is spent with enrichment toys and puzzle games. Training is spaced out throughtout the day in 10-15 minute sessions. At 8pm the dogs are let out on last time then kennel and dinner time for the night. Our dogs are friendly and out going. We live in a very rural area on 81 acres of hiking trails and farm land to explore. The dogs are always watched when outside. We do have a wireless fence system for dogs that are trained on the e collar and long lines for dogs that are not off leash trained. We have experience crate and rotating dogs with aggression/reactivity problems. I have rehabilitated and socialized dogs with traumatic past.

About: With over 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s second best friend while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide, my strong communication with pet parents, and my flexibility to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and energy levels. I work full-time as a pet sitter, so your pet’s well-being and routine are my top priority. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, large breed dogs, and high-energy pups that need extra playtime. I also offer overnight stays with discounted rates for multiple pets, and I’m happy to discuss custom bundles based on your needs—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates consistently, and treats your pets like family—I’d love to help. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—I’m a full-time sitter, so my schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I also block off time for overnight stays and am available on weekends and holidays with advance notice. Since this is my primary focus, I’m flexible and responsive, making it easy to accommodate custom routines or last-minute bookings when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping in for visits, I treat every space with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow all feeding, potty, and medication instructions closely, and always double-check doors, gates, and locks. I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort level and body language, especially when it comes to shy or energetic pets, and I adjust my approach to match what they need—whether it’s quiet company, active play, or just a little extra patience. For overnight stays, I create a peaceful and familiar atmosphere by keeping to your pet’s bedtime routine, favorite toys, and walking routes. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alex did great with my dogs! She made time for a meet and greet with them so they would feel comfortable when she came. Loved the updates and photos of their walk. I will be contacting Alex to walk them again in the future!”
