“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!!”
“Emma watched our kitties for a long vacation period and as always gave the most amazing updates, pictures, and most of all - comfort knowing they were the most looked after and taken care of when we were gone! Thank you Emma!”
“Great first visit with Melissa today. My dog immediately liked her. We look forward to many future drop in visits.”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking our Moose for what looked like the best walk! Love that you took such great pictures!”
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.
“Lexi enjoyed her time with Jamie. Jamie had a quick response time and very accommodating to my schedule! Look forward to booking with her again!”
“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.
“We loved having Michaela look after our puppy, and or puppy loved her! We’ll definitely be rebooking her next time we go on vacation.”

I have a puppy of my own and she is the light of my life! She is full of life and I love brininging her on walks and playing with her. I would treat your furry friends as I treat my own !
About: I know dogs need exercise, discipline, and affection. I know it can be challenging to find the right pet care that is trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to give your pet the care they need! I am a massage therapist for part of the week and I homeschool my children when I’m not working. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have extra time to fill here and there with pet care. I will feed, walk, or give your animals attention based on clients request and animals requirements. Whether it’s In the yard, taking them for a walk or just sitting petting them, I’ll give them what they need.
“Very attentive and so good with my dogs! Alexis is an amazing sitter and takes such good care of my dogs!”
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: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds - dogs and cats included. I love animals and wish to make a career out of providing pet care. I am pet first aid & CPR certified and I am bonded and insured. I strive to provide nothing but the best care possible! I have trained my service dog all by myself and have trained my other dog myself! I also have experience with training other dogs — I specialize in service dogs and problem behaviors in dogs! I do my best to be very flexible with scheduling. I do have occasional appointments but those can typically be worked around. I would very much appreciate having recurring customers, this also makes it easier to fit new clients into my scheduling. I have a portal system for easy scheduling and invoicing as well! I enjoy being active and I wish to work to become more active. I have a standard poodle who is my service dog. I also have a younger standard poodle that I have trained myself. I do not always bring my service dog with me, it is all dependent on how our dogs interact. Also if you would like for me to teach your dogs I would be happy to talk more!
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 absolutely love all types of doggies and I’m an avid jogger and love to get outside and get exercise. I’m very respectful and kind. You won’t be disappointed hiring me. I’m available during the week between the hours of 8 and 3. Those hours can vary and sometimes I might be available outside of those hours We live on 20 acres on the lake and our neighbors are not close so it’s nice to get outside in the property and play fetch or go run around

“"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.

Kristen’s pets are her fur babies, and any pet in her care will be showered with attention and affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly devoted, Kristen is the perfect choice!"”
