4. Jazlynne W.
“Jazlynne is wonderful! She gave us lots of updates and pictures- and as first time users of this app made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. It’s easy to tell she genuinely loves animals. I would ask her to care for our dog again in a heartbeat!”
5. Melissa H.
“Melissa was awesome with our dog, very communicative and took care of Einstein with the affection that we had hoped for. We will certainly look to use Melissa again!”
6. Geoffery O.
“Geoffery took great care of our dogs and farm animals!! We were away for two days for a family wedding and it was helpful leaving our dogs with someone we felt we could trust. Geoffery visited us to meet the dogs and learn how to take care of things a couple of weeks before he cared for them, which was good to ensure it would all work out. While we were gone we received a few updates, which was nice and reassuring, and when we got home our dogs were tired and happy! Geoffery had taken them on so many walks and made sure all their needs were met. We will definitely request to book again for our next family wedding!”
7. Alison M.
“Alison was very conscientious and thorough in staying with my two Cavaliers. They were VERY happy pups while she stayed with them! She kept me informed about how they were doing, which allowed me to relax while I was gone. She also left my home in excellent condition—i never would have known anyone was here! I highly recommend Alison.”
8. 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.
9. Elizabeth C.
“The dogs adored Elizabeth and seem very content. She was really communicative and timely. I really felt like I could trust my fur babies with her while I had to leave town. We really look forward to working with her in the future!”
10. Bohni K.
“We are very appreciative of the care and love Bohni gave to our sensitive little guy. She was very respectful of our home as well. We were very happy to have found her. Highly recommend Bohni.”
11. Libby N.
“Libby was an excellent sitter. I was in town for a graduation celebration at the University of Maine and Libby watched my puppy while I attended an event. She arrived on time at my vacation rental and took excellent care of my puppy. I am so grateful that I was able to leave my puppy with someone I could trust and he had so much fun with Libby. I highly recommend Libby for all your pet needs.”

13. Bryanna M.
“I had great experience with Bry while I was working a long shift. She’s great with animals and did everything I asked. Highly recommended! :)”
14. Jill L.
“We were away visiting family for a month and it was the first time in a long time that someone besides a good friend of mine stayed at our house with our 3 cats. Of course I was a bit nervous with having a new sitter but Jill quickly put my concerns at bay. She was wonderful with communicating and sending photos of the cats so I was ensured that they were getting great care. Jill was also fantastic with keeping me up to date on other house issues. When we returned home, despite her being there for a month, the place looked like nothing had happened! Jill left the house so clean and had also take very good care of the outside areas. We could not have been more pleased and grateful with her stay and help!”
15. Rachel Y.
“Rachel is one of the most caring people in the world with animals. Not only has she taken in animals no one else cared for, she’s gone above and beyond for the animals in her life that aren’t even hers”
16. Candi W.
“Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!”
17. Jessica S.
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.
18. Jessica S.
“Jess was amazing. She took great care of my kitties (and my husband's seedlings) and the house was in great shape when we returned. Will definitely hire again!”
19. Shiela C.
“Shiela has a loving passion for every animal she meets. She is extremely reliable and will love your animal just as much as you do! She is definitely an animal lover at heart, and will treat your fur baby like they are her own!”
20. Claudia P.
“Claudia is a wonderful caregiver. She is sweet and kind to all sorts of animals, and knows how to treat them well. She has her own pets, so she also has a great understanding of any behavior and body language that pets may give off. Claudia is very responsible and will make sure that your pet is loved and treated right!”
