“Rachael was loved immediately by my pup! She helped me in a pinch last minute when I needed overnight care. She is kind, punctual, sent me updates & stayed in touch. It’s really nice to not have to reach out about your pet, and to already have updates and photos when you check your phone!!! Delilah and I look forward to working with you again. 😊”


“So thankful for Felicia! She truly is top notch and takes such good care of our sassy pup!! Our doggie is very selective to whom she likes and she loves Felicia ! That speaks for itself!!! 10000% recommend!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets and homes for over 5 years, with experience ranging from daily visits to long-term stays. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and needs, including those who require medication or special diets. 🐾 I work from home, which means I can spend the majority of the day keeping your pets company, making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. 🏡 I’ve grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes from tiny Teacup Pomeranians to gentle Irish Wolfhounds and I adore cats just as much. My priority is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by keeping your pets happy and your home well cared for. I also love sending regular updates and photos so you can see your furry family is safe, happy, and in loving hands. ❤️ *I am willing to travel for pet-house sitting longer distances* I work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to be with your pets throughout the day. Whether it’s taking them for walks, playing in the yard, or just keeping them company while they nap, I’m able to give them plenty of attention and care. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches, they’ll have a buddy by their side. 🐾 I am offering pet care, & house sitting in a clients home, walking, feedings, and maintaining your home. I look forward to taking care of your fur-babies, with the same love and care as my own pets.

“Liseli is an absolute delight-our dog Winnie was super comfortable with her from the first meeting. Winnie was in great spirits when we got home. The house was in A+++ condition! Thank you, Liseli! So happy!!”


“One of my favorite Rover sitters! Communication was great! Fallowed directions. I came back after a long day to happy tired dogs. Falisity walked and played with my dogs. If you are at Shore Hills campground look for her on Rover”


“This was our first time having Natalie house sit with our two dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Natalie communicated with us the entire time and asked questions to make sure she was taking care of the dogs the same way we would. She also stopped by to check on them later in the day since our flight came in late. We came home to two happy pups and a very clean house. Thank you, Natalie! We’ll definitely book again :)”


About: I've always had a love for animals, especially dogs, and I've always grown up around them. My family has me take care of their dogs when they're out of town, including my cousin who has five dogs. I'm currently home for the summer, looking for some extra income. I love dogs, so I figured this is the perfect environment for me. I can walk or sit with your dog based on my current work schedule. As of current, I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday; however, I can always make time after work and anytime on my days off. My dog at home loves to be surrounded by her family and to be included in everything we do, from hanging out while we do dishes to sleeping in my bed. I am available to take your dog for long walks, while at the same just provided them with some company.

“Kym was great! I enjoyed getting to know her before we left. She came twice to visit and meet with YellowCat. He's generally shy around strangers but warmed up to her during her stay in our home. She took care of him and the house. Clean, Responsive, Responsible...I felt very comfortable having her stay and grateful to find her for YellowCat!”


About: I’ve been a dog owner since I was in middle school and rescued Lily from a shelter. She was an anxious but loveable Australian Shepherd who needed lots of exercise and attention, and that’s exactly what I gave her for her 17 years of life. Over that time I also owned multiple cats, and looked after the dogs of friends and family. I love spending time with animals and I know what it takes to keep them happy and healthy . I’m currently working remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to animal or house sitting. Since my setup is mobile I can spend as little or as much time as is needed and at your convenience. I have a large outdoor property as well as access to local trails for walking. I’m an active person but I also know how to stay safe when caring for an animal in a rural or busier environment.


“Taryn was fantastic! We were so nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but she was even better than we could have hoped for. She gave updates, sent pictures, and gave our dog all the snuggles she needed. Thanks, Taryn!”



“Sarah was fantastic! We booked her for our 2 labs because we were getting married ! We didn't have to worry about them once, she played with them, and kept them happy. We would absolutely recommend her !”


“WOW I can't rave about Kelsey enough! She took unbelievably good and seamless care of my pup Milo and my home for the 10 days we were gone. Milo suffers from anxiety and can be reactive in certain settings but Kelsey is incredibly in tune with animals and really took the time to bond with Milo and put him at ease. She worked to maintain his routine and I was sent pictures of their off-leash trails adventures almost every day, which is something we feel comfortable doing with him but many of his caretakers haven't. Kelsey took the time to learn all his commands and reinforce all our house rules with him while we were gone which was obvious in his calm demeanor when we returned home. And we were left a fresh baked loaf of sourdough bread inscribed with "Milo", come on! Kelsey is an absolute dream and I truly can't recommend her enough!”


“Our pups love Selena! They are both adult rescues and are fearful of most people and Selena has the best approach and way with them. They warmed up in record time! Took wonderful care of our home as well.”

“I can’t say enough about how INCREDIBLE Annette was. She stayed at our home with our shy little schnauzer Spidey while we went away for a few days. She sent so many wonderful photos, videos, and reassuring messages that gave as the peace of mind we needed to enjoy ourselves. She is so kind, sweet, and caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to love our little guy. I can’t imagine using anyone else! Thank you thank you thank you, Annette!!!”


About: I’ve been around and taking care of pets for just about 12 years. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, fish, and a tortoise. This has helped me to learn and understand how animals need things just like humans do! I love animals just as much as humans! I am currently in Bath and looking for a little side work and some time with furry friends! My schedule varies as I work full time as well, but I am more than happy to coordinate and figure out a time that works for you! When looking after your fluffy friends at your home, I like to take some time to learn their normal patterns in their own comfy space, and just get comfortable with them! If you have any special requests and/or instructions then I will work to achieve those with your furry friends, and make them as comfortable as possible!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for several years. I'm comfortable and capable of taking care of pets with medical needs including but not limited to insulin. I started fostering cats, kittens, pregnant cats, puppies, and dogs for Midcoast Humane in 2020. I currently work full time as a teacher meaning early mornings and late afternoons free. I also have a comfortable amazing amount of time off with school vacations and summer vacation. During the work week I can be available for early morning walks and afternoons after 3:30. I can also stay with your pet overnight while still working and or have your pet stay in our home. I live in a very peaceful and safe area of Boothbay with very little traffic. We have an unfenced yard with an aerial dog run. We have two older children ages 11 and 13. We also have one female cat age 10 and one small terrier mix age 1 male, both animals have been fixed. Our pets are family and yours will be as well. Lots of cuddles and comfy spaces as well as walks and play.

“Stephanie is truly a gem! She makes it so easy for us to enjoy our time away, knowing our pets are happy and our home is in the best hands. Our dogs and cats absolutely light up when she arrives — they know they’re in for love, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. She’s responsible, respectful, and treats our home like it’s her own. What we love most is that she’s willing to travel, so whether we’re at home or up at our place in New York, she’s always happy to be there. Having Stephanie watch our pets feels like leaving them with family, and we’re so grateful to have her in our lives!”
