“Alyssa was wonderful! She came by the day before we needed her to meet Bella and go over everything. She was extremely communicative the whole day and took excellent care of our baby. I highly recommend her!”


“Yoko took great care of my cat, who is 6-7 years old. I felt complete confidence in her as soon as I met her I returned home after an absence of four days to find a happy cat! I hope to be able to have Yoko as a drop-in sitter in the future.”


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.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2015, although I’ve always grown up around animals. What started as helping friends and family while they were out of town—sometimes for weeks or even months—quickly became something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I believe that building trust with both pets and their owners is key to providing the best care possible. Before any stay, I like to meet the pet and owner together to get familiar with their routine, any special activities they enjoy, and any health needs I should be aware of. This helps ensure a smooth transition and allows me to care for each pet as if they were my own I recently moved to Maine in May, and I am excited to make this my forever home. While I’m currently job searching, I’m fully available and would love to focus on pet sitting in the meantime. I have open availability and can be flexible with scheduling to meet your needs At our home, I have a spacious 1.1-acre property with a beautiful front yard, a peaceful pond, and a large backyard all of which are unfenced. Pet guests enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time in these open areas. I always meet with the owner ahead of time to learn about the dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. From there, I create a care plan that helps your dog feel comfortable and keeps their routine consistent while they’re with me.

About: I have worked as a vet assistant and groomer. Pets have been a part of the family for my whole life, everything from bearded dragons and guinea pigs to a wonderful St. Bernard. I might actually be part cat. I'm a stay-at-home mom. Every morning I give the insistent critters their breakfast and some play time before letting the dogs out. Play and cuddle time happens all day. There is a big basket of toys for both dogs and cats in the living room and jars of treats are scattered around the house. Our yard isn't fenced yet, but there is a runner and the yard is surrounded by woods. We're also on a dead end road, so there's no traffic. The cats have litter boxes in the basement, with a cat door for access. That gives them a bit of privacy, the dogs aren't allowed down there. The cats also have a water fountain and food bowls high enough that the dogs can't reach.

About: Hi there, my name is Olivia. I started dog walking at my university in California to get my “pet-fix,” only to realize how much I love caring for other people’s pets! I seriously love all animals, from geckos to cats to dogs, and I would be happy to care for your friendly family members. I have been a pet caretaker for 20+ years (personally) and 4 years (professionally). I am a certified foster parent for Best Friends of Los Angeles, a certified foster parent for Midcoast Humane Society, and I have also spent two summers as a volunteer dog Walker for the Animal Humane Society. I most recently fostered a pregnant mama cat who gave birth to SEVEN kittens. I am happy to encourage any training techniques that you have been practicing as well reinforce (the much more necessary) attention and cuddles. I am also happy to arrange bathes, training strategies, or different medications per your necessity. My schedule is very flexible right now, as my last job recently ended, and I’m taking some time before starting my next chapter. In the meantime, I’ve been focusing on pet sitting, which has been a really fulfilling way to stay busy and do something I enjoy. I’m an active person who likes getting outside for walks and runs, and I love having animals be part of that daily routine. It’s been a great fit for both me and the pets I care for. I’m respectful, tidy, and organized, and I always aim to leave your home just as you left it—if not better. I’ve done both overnight stays and drop-in visits in the past, and I’m happy to be flexible depending on what works best for you and your pet.

About: I have been working with Dogs since I was young! I am comfortable with big dogs, small dogs, older dogs, and puppies! I am happy to feed them, walk them, give them oral medicine and love on them! I love doing brain games and fun trick training for mental stimulation! I’ll be your pets next best friend! I am currently working part time, and have lots of free time throughout the week for all of the Dogs and Kitties that need some attention! My schedule typically is pretty open so just send me a message if you are looking for a specific day or time! I will always come gentle and give your fur babies time to feel safe with me. I want your fur family to feel safe, happy, loved and have a blast!

“Selena was so great to work with! She came over before the actual day I needed her, to go over the "routine" etc. While she was with Bud she was super communicative and checked in with photos and texts. Bud was well taken care for :). She wa also flexible about timing. Would definitely work with Selena again!!”


About: I’ve taken care of plenty of family/friends pets for a few years. We have a 1yr old lab and a 2 yr old cat as well.

I currently work Monday-Friday but am happy to do evenings/overnights or even weekends for your favorite loved ones! I can also stay overnight during the week as well and go back after I’m out of work if that is ok with you and your pets schedule!! We have a 1 yr old lab who loves to play and is happy to if your pets allow it! We don’t use a leash on him at home as we live in the woods but if your dog is a runner I will keep them on a leash so we don’t have any issues. We have a run we can hook them on to play outside if they prefer to not be on a leash. Lastly our favorite place to hangout is in our basement because our big guy can run around and be in a safe place!
