House Sitting in Skowhegan

“This was our first time using April to sit with Aspen…will absolutely be using her in the future. Aspen was happy and content when we got home, house was just as we left it, and April sent us pix while we were gone - great communication as well ??”

“Melissa was a great house and pet sitter for a long weekend. Excellent communication in advance. Treated both our house and pets with great care. Will definitely use her again for future get-aways.”

About: As long as I can remember,I’ve had a love for animals! I’ve been house/pet sitting for 8 years I care for every animal there is including farm animals and even exotics such as snakes!!!! I currently work for myself primarily cleaning houses and pet sitting! This is my specialty! I love all animals (except spiders!) but so long as they are in a tank I’m okay !!!! I will care for your fur babies as if they were my very own. I will make sure they are happy and safe while you’re away! My husband doesn’t call me the animal whisperer for nothin!!! ☺️

“Madelyn watched our 3 dogs for 2 nights at our house. Our dogs loved staying with her and got lots of exercise while we were gone and our house was clean upon our return.”

“Grace was so wonderful with Annie and Ollie and our home! She gave us daily updates and pics. We also appreciated how well she communicated with us. We will definitely book her again!!”

“Jason was fantastic. He helped me in a pinch and was prompt, communicative and generally happy to spend time with Chloe (my dog). Received photos and updates. Very good experience, will certainly book again. Thank you Jason!”

“I highly recommend Susan for anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter. Susan has been boarding my dogs for many years anytime we go on vacation and I couldn't be happier with her services. First and foremost, Susan genuinely cares for the well-being of my dogs. She takes the time to understand their individual needs, preferences, and routines, ensuring that they are comfortable and happy while in her care. I can always trust that my dogs are in good hands when they are with Susan. Not only does Susan provide excellent care, but she also goes above and beyond to keep me updated on how my dogs are doing. She sends regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my furry friends are enjoying their time with her. I also love the private property on the lake for my dogs to have the freedom to run around, play and swim.”

About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! Love animals :) I volunteer at the shelter, so I work short shifts at odd hours but I am fully available at almost any other time of the day! I have three cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade pumpkin puree treats (if allowed) and plenty of attention and play time!

“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”

“Deborah has been an animal lover since the first time I met her over 25 years ago... she has watched my dogs when needed and has shown me that she is the kindest person and a very responsible dog owner herself. I would trust Deborah with any type of pet, not only dogs. She has owned dogs, chickens, sheep and horses and is very loving and attentive to all! I would also have no second thoughts of having her stay in my home if need be. She is as honest as anyone I have known. Bottom line.... choose Deb if you would like to have absolutely no worries about your pet while you are away! She is the best person around.”

“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”

About: I pride myself in providing high-quality care to your precious loved ones, when you’re not able to! I ensure that high-quality care is provided by understanding exactly how you would provide care to your pet, and aiming to Exceed you and your pet’s expectations! I ensure responsible and safe care by maintaining liability insurance to mitigate risk as well as adding security and comfort to pet owners and myself. I remain knowledgeable and educated about best practices, training techniques, and grooming techniques. I spend my free time, educating myself on all things pets, from body language to responding to commands, to health concerns, to the most tasty, natural, homemade dog treats! I’m experienced with various pets and animals of all kinds, from livestock, to small farm animals, to pets like dogs, cats and birds (house birds or large birds like an African macaw) reptiles, and rodents, but I do Prefer dogs (🤭🤫). This does not mean that I provide better care to any one animal over another; it just means that I personally receive the most joy from my interactions and experiences with dogs and it’s generally the most rewarding experience for me. My ability to care for other animals is not hindered by my preference in any way, and I’m not bias. I truly care for every living animal, and I absolutely adore nature! My goal is to continue to live happily while providing specialized, high-quality care for those in life that bring me organic passion, drive, and joy! I hope you will allow me the opportunity to meet you and your pet/family member, and start building a valuable relationship! ☮️ Pet care is my schedule and my priority. I am dedicating 100% of my time to caring for animals and the needs of others. This fits very well in-alignment with my passion and purpose for helping others in this life! I am currently located in JAY, Maine, as reflected in my profile however, I am planning to relocate back to the shoreline in Connecticut, where I have called home most of my life. I currently blocked out my calendar for anything that is beyond where I will be located in Maine, so I ensure that I schedule appropriately and don’t miss any appointments while getting near the time I’m relocating. I plan to update my profile and unblock all of the dates, most likely the first week of July and continue providing services however they will be on the shoreline in Connecticut, and surrounding areas. My plan is to open a business that provides pet care services and has a facility to provide doggy daycare services on a regular basis (eventually… one thing at a time)! 🐾 I care for pets in my home or in my clients home, as they would expect me to. If there are specific wishes, once, desires, needs, I absolutely follow those instructions ensure that I am paying close attention to detail. Unless the home/pet owner is aware, I would not bring any outside animals into the home while caring for them. I offer general companionship services, walking/hiking services/grooming services - inclusive of bathing, ear, cleaning, and nail trimming, and basic training.

I studied grooming, I worked a at a very professional kennel that boarded, trained dogs and groomed. Im certified in Pet Safe Handling , CPR/first AID. Basic and Advanced.Im fully insured as well.

It Varys on distances, nights, chores, how many animals, visits per a day, etc🐾 I’m currently working on my farm and working my other business but I have lots of time to fit grooms, visits, overnights and dog walks in. I don’t do in home till my kennels built. I follow the directions they leave and follow up if anything changes. Med sheets, scheduling, grooming appointments, etc.

About: I always tune into the unique personality of each animal and I don't rest until I'm sure the animal knows its safe, loved and cared for. Since I was born I have loved animals so genuinely and patiently that I've never encountered a problem, even with the hard to figure out ones. I love them all and my husband does as well. Therefore we treat our pets like they're one of us, with plentiful attention. We are complete home-bodies. We like spending time outdoors, and going for walks. Our home is very inviting as well, with a fenced yard, multiple spare rooms, close to many trails near by and lots of spare blankets and pillows. Feel free to give any advise on how to care better for your dog, and I will be more than happy to accommodate.
