Gabbi Was an amazing pet sitter for our two doxies! She went above and beyond. Very professional with us and yet caring and loving with our fur babies. We are so impressed and will continue to ie to use her again and again. She was on time for visits and took a bunch of photos. Our dogs adore her! Thanks Gabbi for treating Shylo and Tobi as if they were your own precious pups.

Highly recommend Deanna, she was so communicative, took great care of the pets, sent lots of pictures and updates, which put our minds at ease. This was our 2nd time with her and both times we were completely impressed. We will definitely be booking again.

Delaney was wonderful. It made me feel better knowing they could stop in to care for my dog when I had a last minute work event come up. They sent great pictures and were very communicative. And put up with all my information as a nervous owner.

Cameryn was great! She watched my 2 kitties while I was away and they loved seeing her. She stopped by each day, fed lots of treats, and sent me pictures each time. It’s nice to know I can trust someone with my boys when I go away. Thank you Cameryn!

Gianna was very sweet and patient with Ellie. She stuck with the schedule and tried to reinforce safe puppy play but redirecting with toys when Ellie would bite.

Thelma is awesome. She checked on Shaq and Dhaq made a new friend. She takes awesome pictures of the dog. I loved the fact she was quick to do a meeting prior to the actual assignment. And she was available and flexible. It was a blessing to coordinate with Thelma for dogsitting. Definitely using her again for future dogsitting.

Another great visit by Mike with Roscoe! He really understands how to work and play with Roscoe who can be a bit picky. Roscoe is always happy and relaxed when I get home.

Tiffani was so responsible and receptive to my “shy” guys. I was so relieved going out of town and using a new care person for the first time in four years to get the feeling that all was being done as if I were home. Takes a lot of pressure off the normal stress of being away from home.

We received updates and pictures with throughout their time together. We have already booked Busara again for Chance and will continue to use her when Chance comes to visit! Book her you will not be disappointed!!

About: Hello, my name is Jenny! I have my bachelor's degree in Pre-Veterinary Science and worked as a Vet-Tech for over 4 years. I have experience with senior dogs and can give oral or subcutaneous medications such as diabetes injections or seizure medication. I am able to do nail trims, paw pad fur clipping, ear cleaning, brushing, or simple baths. Also, I have ample experience with stubborn dog breeds such as huskies! I’m currently working from home and can be with your pups as much as they need me to be! I usually will let them out 5-6 times a day to run in the yard. If they need anything else or prefer walks, I can offer them as well! I have a half acre fenced in backyard for your furry friend to run free (perfect for pets that do not have a fenced yard at home). I am set back far from any main roads and live on a farm surrounded by open land. I currently have three huskies that are all dog friendly but if your pup doesn’t really like to play or is older I have two half doors installed in my home to keep my pets separated from your pets if preferred. I also have two entrances to the fenced in yard so they do not have to interact. Dog crates readily available if necessary. My dogs are all up-to-date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm & flea/tick preventatives.

About: I'm Jackie ! I'm a dog loving 28 year old who is just looking to make a few extra bucks a month around my full time job! I have 3 dogs of my own Ruger( 1 years old) Pepper (6 years old), and Sadie (7 years old). They all are sweet hearts who enjoy walks in the woods and playing fetch endlessly! They are very gentle with other dogs and enjoy the company very much as do I! Your dogs will be in great hands! I wish I could own many more pups but 3 is enough right now so this is also another good way to get a puppy fix daily ! I’m currently unemployed, and trying to find some income to pay the bills currently ! Why not walk dogs while trying to do so ! I have a fenced in yard, but prefer to keep the visits to drop ins and walks ! I’m a bit when it comes to safety of my own dogs ! So you can assure I’ll keep your fur baby in just as good care !

About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.

Melissa let our dog out during lunchtime for us for several weeks and she was truly great! She was great at communicating with us and was very flexible with our changing schedule. Our dog also loved her! I would not hesitate to choose her again to take care of our dog!! ?

Very prompt and professional, our cat threw up while we were away and without hesitation Gabbi cleaned it up and would never know it happened. Above and beyond care.

As always, Tiffani provided great care to my pups while we were away on vacation. I’ve booked this sitter multiple times and highly recommend her! She always shares photos on a daily basis and detailed notes on how my boys are doing. If she’s available, I definitely encourage you to book with her!
