Pet Sitting in Skowhegan

“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!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for friends and family since I was a teenager and have always loved it! I am able to give insulin to dogs or cats as well as other medications! I am well versed in dogs of all ages as well as temperaments. I am in the process of learning grooming so can do basic grooms, not currently taking full grooms. I worked for a pet care business for well over a year, so have experience with multiple environments and circumstances! I currently work full time but I have an hour long lunch break and availability before and after work, as well as weekends! My mother takes care of my pets when I’m not home so it’s nice to get out and help other pet owners. I have lots of experience with all types of animals so I am comfortable with almost anything. I like to do my best to keep your pets routine as stable as possible to make the transition less stressful while you’re away from home.

“It was a pleasure to have Emma take care of my kitty. She is reliable and attentive to her pet clients. I will use her again and recommend her services.”

“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: 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: 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.

“Kayla was extremely attentive and made sure that I felt comfortable in sending pictures and updates as she visited the puppies. Thank you 😇”

“The kitties have a great time when Erin comes. They get to play and she goes the extra mile to clean up and give me an update on their food intake and mood for the day. Thanks Erin!”

Kelly L.

“Kelly is the best!! The care she provided for our pets while we were away for an extended amount of time was top notch. We couldn't ask for a better pet caretaker! She was on task 100% of the time, She truly loves our pets and treated them as if they were her own. We can't thank her enough and hope to use her many more times in the future.”

Carol K.

“Erin did great! Excellent communication, took great care of Bosco. An unexpected house accident happened (a window broke) and Erin handled it really well. Would definitely book again!”

“Morgen was outstanding helpful and understanding! I was in a tight spot and she took time out of her weekend to help me out. She went above and beyond with helping with my youngest pup whos still learning to not anxious poop. Shes the sweetest, most thoughtful (the pup and bonus cat pictures were the icing on the cake), compassionate person. She's so thorough with instructions that she makes it seem like shes always live in the house. 5 stars is not nearly enough, ten out of ten!!”

About: Experience with both senior cats/dogs and young cats and dogs. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently work as a vet assistant weekends, and sometimes have class during the week. Best thing to do is reach out and see when I am available! I appreciate information about your animals routine (wether they are crated at night, times they usually go out, high enery, low energy, feeding schedule, and other things that will allow me to give the most thorough care I can) so I can properly care for them. Also please give me a heads up about food or toy aggression before hand (it doesn't necessarily mean I'll deny service I just want to be warned so I can be extra cautious)

About: Hi, I'm Alex! I grew up around large dogs and have years of experience dog sitting and training for friends and family across all ages and breeds, as well as dogs with special medical needs involving medications, past trauma history, and assistance going up and down stairs. I have two friendly and cuddly cats at home, and someday hoping to have the right space and time to adopt a big floofy dog. My kitties are currently learning to come when their name is called and working on sensory training to feel comfy when I brush their teeth! All cats and dog sizes/ages are welcome, and I can't wait to meet your baby! :) My schedule: I am a speech-language pathologist currently working Monday through Thursday. I love my job, but missing spending time with animals. I am routinely available Fridays and Sundays. Per request, I can be available Saturday mornings or Thursday afternoons as well to check in on your furry friend! My home: I have a large, open concept home that is "baby proof" due to our two curious cats at home. If needed, our cats are comfy hanging out in our master bedroom where we have a screen door so they can still observe, if your dog isn't a fan of cats. If you decide to board with us, I only accept one family at a time. I want to make sure safety comes first, and this will also allow me to create a homey environment and give more attention! We currently do not have a fenced in yard (but hope to soon!). Aside from going on daily walks, if you are comfortable, I can link your dog to a run or a long rope, while supervised, to enjoy the outdoors as we have about an acre of open space in our back yard.

“Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!”

About: Hello, I am available to care for your pet. 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. My availability is open! I can board, do a drop in 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 into a fenced area.

“Sadie was really sweet! My dog Copper has terrible separation anxiety which intensified during covid. This can be really challenging and difficult to leave him on his own. Sadie really saved the day and Copper immediately loved her. I was also concerned about safety due to Covid, but she was incredibly knowledgeable and safe. I’m so grateful I was able to connect with Sadie and will definitely be asking her to return. Thank you Sadie!”

About: I raised my own herd of dairy goats starting when I was 11 years old. I have been working with dogs since I was 16, I worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years and I now work at a shelter. I have loved all sorts of animals from a very young age. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs that required specific medical care (diabetes etc.) I am always willing to learn the proper care for your pet. I currently work full time, but I will gladly stop by after work to give some love to your furry friends. Evenings typically work best! All of the animals in my home are very well cared for, up to date on all vaccines, and very happy. I have a variety of animals including reptiles.

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! Caring for animals has been a big part of my life, and I love spending my time with people’s precious fur (and scale!) kids. As I enter my 40s, I’ve decided to focus on what truly brings me joy—helping pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I previously ran a daycare and really miss working with my clients and their families. Taking care of others—whether children or animals—has always been something that comes naturally to me. I’ve been caring for pets most of my life and have always had a deep love for animals. When I was younger, I even dreamed of becoming a zookeeper! At home, I care for a variety of animals myself, so I’m comfortable with more than just cats and dogs. I also have experience with reptiles, ferrets, and sugar gliders, and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I’ve also worked in veterinary offices as a receptionist, which gave me valuable experience around animal care and the importance of communication with pet owners. In addition, I’m prior military, which means I bring reliability, responsibility, and strong attention to detail to everything I do. My goal is simple: to give your pets the same care, patience, and attention I give my own so you can feel confident and comfortable while you’re away. I work a full time job but I have time before 6am and after 3pm Monday through Friday and Saturday is open. Feel free to message me to ask i may be able to work you in! I care for your pet as you would want them cared for. I love taking pictures, it's up to you if I share them with everyone or just you!

About: I've always loved animals, particularly dogs. Animals respond well to me, and I have cared for many over the years. I treat every animal as if they are my own! Ever met that person who just randomly pulls over on the street to say hi to your pup? THAT'S ME! I work full time in the healthcare field, but can often modify my schedule. I routinely travel between Oakland and Gardiner ME for work, so traveling is not an issue. I like to be on the go! I also work part time with Animal Control in Sidney. Due to my other commitments, I do require that all of my furry clients be able to be left alone for at least 8 hours. Exceptions can be made for clients in my immediate vicinity, or if my schedule allows. Your wish is my command! Whatever you need simply ask! Whatever I can do to ease your mind and comfort your pet in your absence, i will do!
