“Highly recommend Madelyn for taking care of your animals. She was amazing with my 3 dogs and cat. Plenty of updates through photos, videos and daily paragraphs. We had a storm while we were on vacation and she did a few extra tasks to help us out as well as taking care of the pups. All of my animals loved her even on the first introduction. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies on our vacation!!”


“Another great visit by Emma. My dog clearly likes her! She responded today on short notice freeing me up to have some fun after a stressful work week, and weekend. She is awesone!”


“Alex was amazing and my dogs love her! I was nervous leaving them for the first time and Alex came over and made me much better! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable! Highly recommended!”


About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.

“Erin was awesome! My cats were well taken care of, fed, watered, played with and litters were cleaned. MY shy Sophie girl usually hides from everyone, and she took the time to find her and sent me a pic to show me she was okay. Highly recommend!”


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 were specialtists.) I’m currently working with the ability to come home during lunch. I am available for walkies before work, during lunch, after work and prior to bedtime. 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.

About: I’ve had dogs in my house for as long as I have been alive and have a great love for dogs and cats alike. I have years of experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work a full time job but have Sunday through Tuesday off every week and have plenty of time to drop in and feed or play with your pet as well as take your pet for a walk. I am un able to take dogs into my home as my current residence does not allow dogs, but I am more than happy to drop in to your home and take care of your pet.

About: Having previously worked at a humane shelter and a doggy daycare, I understand that dogs require a lot of care, love, and patience! I'm pretty good at reading their body language and I love putting in the extra work to get shy or reactive dogs to trust me. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for! My schedule is wide open to housesit, dog walk/enrichment, and check-ins whenever it's needed. Let me know what you and your pet need, and we can schedule something! I will do anything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, entertained, and loved while you are away. You'll return to see the house just as you left it (with absolutely no judgment if it's cleaned or cluttered) and a happy pet!

About: I have dog sat for 2 families, cat sat for two families, reptile sat, and generally animal sat for a few families. Animals are my happy place. I strive for the animals I take care of to be entertained, fed, walked, and most importantly loved. I am currently working part-time over the summer, while looking for an English teaching position (high school preferably). I have graduated college from the University of Maine at Farmington with a bachelors in Education. I find I am passionate about the things I strive to achieve and work for. I am organized, honest, and kind. I made sure the house I am caring for is clean and safe for the animals that live there. I will always follow the rules that the client will give me. I will try my absolute best to make sure the pets safety is my top priority.

About: I have lived with and cared for many dogs for as long as I can remember. I now have two of my own dogs and coming home to them makes me so happy! With my two dogs included I live with 5 dogs! Crazy I know! But they are so loved and happy! I have cared for rescue animals and dogs through every phase of life. I have taken care of dogs on medications, special diets and when recovering from surgery and procedures. My dog Jackson and I have traveled across the country together and I loved experiencing all the new sites with him. I can’t wait to meet your dog(s). Because I live with 5 dogs and 4 cats, pet care happens everyday! When I’m home with them they are always around and getting attention and affection from me. I take time to make sure each animal we have has there needs meet. This includes walking, playing ball, grooming, feeding and all the cuddles! I care for my pets in a loving and stable environment. Because we have so many pets we all take care of the animals we have, they even have the ultimate sitter (auntie) who comes over when we don’t have someone at home. Dogs are family in my house!

About: I’ve been around animal my whole life, including larger/more difficult to handle dogs. My amazing labrador Lincoln is around 105 lbs and VERY energetic (we call him a wolf), which has greatly helped my experience with larger dogs. I’ve also gone through puppy training and sitting, so I can handle dogs of all different temperaments! I cannot wait to meet your furry best friend!! I’m currently a student at the University of North Florida, seeking a part time job of dog walking. This is along with my other job as a bartender. I don’t offer pet sitting as I am currently living in the dorms at the University of North Florida for the Fall Semester full time.

About: In the past when I’ve done some house sitting I ended up bonding with the animals which they had to call me Uncle Bobby which required visits even when the owners were home! I work 3 on 3 off and occasionally some overtime! So I actually do have a lot of time of but different days! So weekends and weekdays I actually can have time off! Outside time on a leash or what ever the owner prefers! I would prefer the animals get to know me on leashes! If it’s a fenced in area no problem! Run free my fury friends Lol! I was former certified law enforcement officer and Army Veteran! I can be trusted in your home! Look forward to meeting your animals and the animals owners Lol!

About: Hello, I am available to care for your pet 24/7. I have domestic pets, farm animals and caged exotics at home. The more, the merrier! I am a caring, calm person. I am a nurse for humans. I am currently between jobs so I have all the time to care for your pet. I can board, visit or walk your pet at most any time. I am a nurse for humans by trade. I have the ability to keep pets separate that need to be. They can be free range or crated at times if needed. We can go outdoors leashed or be in an outdoor kennel to play outside.

About: I am an outdoor 4 season enthusiast! At home full time with lots of time, energy and love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Over the years I have owned and cared for many different breeds from Yorkshire terriers, Siberian huskies, Cheasapeake Bay retrievers, Brittany Spaniels, Australian shepherds, golden retrievers, poodles for starters. Ready, willing, able to provide discipline, some training and treats! The environment is a safe, country setting with play area and an enclosed, fenced back yard.. There are no other pets or children in my home. Your dog(s) will be TOP dog and the focus of my care, play and concern. Lots of room for exploring and learning here with a capable, eager handler. I really enjoy meeting new people and their pets. I am a home body and an avid adventure seeker. An active community member and local volunteer for several non profits. Leave NO trace! Be safe out there. Always. There is plenty of room to explore or just snore the day away here. A large fenced in area provides a safe space for several dogs. I can host (2) dogs from the same family.

“"I can't recommend Kristen enough as a pet caregiver! She has an incredible passion for animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. With a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health and Behavior and a perfect GPA, she’s not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally responsible. Since 2018, she has lovingly cared for her cat, and in 2023, she welcomed a dog into her life—both of whom she absolutely spoils with love, treats, and thoughtful care. Kristen’s pets are her fur babies, and any pet in her care will be showered with attention and affection.
