Pet Sitting in South Paris

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for 25 years. I currently have 7 cats ranging 2 months to 16 years, 2 dogs, and 2 lizards. I groom my own dogs, and administer medications to my pets. I currently check in on neighbors cats periodically and walk neighbors dogs I currently work from home with a flexible schedule and am about to schedule work around caring for animals. I can make myself available around your pets needs I have a fenced in yard and various sized crates if crating is necessary. I also have a large barn and multiple rooms with doors if pets need alone spaces.

“Marcie was easy to communicate with and available for a last minute request. She sent great pics and a thorough report about how the visit went.”

“Eliot does drop-in visits with our two wild hound dogs on their long home alone days and is literally the best!! Reliable, punctual, and professional. The dogs are always relaxed when we get home, and even our nervous coonhound feels comfortable enough with Eliot to eat her lunch when she’s there. We get cute photos and a summary of how the visit went each day. Eliot even caught one of our goats who had escaped and put him back in his pen safely. Highly recommend!”

“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for to 20+ years in many different capacities including but not limited to daycare, grooming, training, veterinary kennel technician, in-home pet sitting. I have impeccable references upon request that will confirm my experience. Senior/puppy care available. All ages! I am retired and available upon demand. Dogs are my passion and my references will confirm this. I can come to you or your dog can come to me. Overnight stays will be in my pet-safe home. I have a safe fenced in pen for playtime. I live in the country with many walking paths available for the dogs to exercise and I have a large back yard. I live with my Blackmouth Cur rescue dog and he loves playing with 'fur-friends'. He is extremely submissive and plays well with all size dogs. I will closely monitor your pet while in my care as I am retired and stay with the dogs 24/7. Rest assured!

“Rosie was great! This was the first time I’ve used a cat sitter to check in before and I felt totally comfortable having Rosie pop in after I met her. Luna liked her instantly and all went really smoothly!”

“Arrived ontime every day and spent the visit playing with boots. Came home to her very happy. Would rebook in a heartbeat.”

“Annie was so great with our pups! We have 4 dogs which can be a lot, but she made a visit beforehand to get to know the dogs! On the day she came over to let them out, she stayed with them and made sure each one got a nice walk, lots of snuggles, and she sent photo updates to us! It made us feel so happy knowing that our dogs were in good hands. I will always use Annie because she is a trustworthy, loving dog owner herself and I know she treats our dogs like she would treat her own!”

About: My first Jobs as a child were farm sitting for my neighbors and working on an angora rabbit farm. I have always loved and cherished animals. Animals have been drawn to me my whole life. I developed my skills going into the veterinary field as a technician, I've worked with large animals horses , pigs, cows, llamas , alpacas , tortoise , lizards , snakes, monkeys, even helped in surgery on a lion. I have experience with medications , injections, transdermal , and oral medications . Also subcutaneous fluids . I also have experience with handicapped animals that may need bladder expressions or need potty walks in wheel chairs , experience with this is work and I also had my own wheel chair bound dog. I'm honest and would let you know if I'm not comfortable or feel qualified enough to take care of your babies I will let you know. I've been in the veterinary field over 25 years. I've worked in general practice , urgent care , and specialty /emergency . On weekends I'm available to house/pet sit pretty much anywhere within Maine and even possibly NH , of course allowing me time to get there . Try me I'm always up for a road trip extra fees may apply . Weekends for me are Friday after 6 pm through Tuesday morning when I head out to work . During my work week Tuesday morning through Friday . If you have dogs that need to be let out mid day , you need to be within a 10 minute drive from Warren ave in Portland . That way I can go let them out on my lunch break . If you have cats only or other pets that do not need midday care I can house sit /pet sit anywhere within an hour from Portland Maine . I can travel back and forth to work but be there at night and morning to take care of your pets needs . Always reach out if this doesn't make sense . Your pets care is priority and I will try to help you out but if my availability is not what is best for your friends I will be the first to let you know . I currently do not take pets into my home , just because I am not here most of the day . I will let people know if this changes

“Great communication. All of us very happy! Dogs voted to have her come back soon😉”

About: I’ve had animals in my house sense I was born and have had a role in taking care of them for as long as I can remember. I now have my own very spoiled creatures I’m working and going to school but I’m home a lot to I’m mostly looking for something to do in my spare time for a little extra cash Currently living with my parents while I finish school. My room is small but there is a big open yard for my pup to play in and my cats enjoy watching the wildlife from inside the house

About: I have always had a dog growing up. Currently have a two-year-old pup named Anna K. I also house sit for a friend our mine down the road every now and then. I can be very flexible making myself available. If you can, a couple days notice would be better. But if not, you can still ask! Have tried multiple training techniques with all the dogs we have had, electric fence, leash, a tie-out cable, and some we eventually let out on their own when they are ready. No small objects around, especially as a puppy, try not to feed them anything but their required food.

“Katie took great care of my dogs while we were away! My girls had a harder time with me being away than I was expecting but she did a great job with notifying me with any questions/concerns!”

“Amanda responded quickly to a last minute booking and made me feel comfortable as a first-time user of rover. She took great care of our cats and house, was communicative and sent photos of the cats.”

“I was so happy to find Jillian, as a sitter myself I have high standards and Jillian stepped up to the task. She followed all instructions left and sent detailed updates each day. Definitely felt at ease while I was on my trip, I came home to happy pups and a clean doggie room!! Highly recommend Jillian!!!”

About: Experience with raising and training puppies, deaf dogs and high drive hearding dogs. I Know lots of brain teasers for mental stimulation. From walks, hikes and playing to training and games, I love spending my free time with my four legged friends. Weekends i am free when not taking care or spending quality time with my own pup. I like morning playtimes and long trail or town walks. Always respect the owners wishes for their pet and any restrictions or limitations the dog might have. Having a fearful pup I understand the need to keep environments calm!

“Mia was great. Unprompted she played with our dog on the lead we had gotten without letting her know after they finished their walk. She always responds quickly if I have any notes or concerns to add about the day. Thank you so much!”

“Ricky was so great with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation for a week. He was Very responsive to text messages, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. My cats were a bit elusive and hesitant at first, but once I saw pictures of both of them interacting with Ricky, I was put at ease knowing they trusted him.”

I am proficient in reading body language and using "fear free" techniques to make pets comfortable. I am currently working a four day work week, so my last three days of the week are my free time to spend with your pet! I currently do not offer pet care in my own home. However when I am at yours, I will follow your pets individual routine to make your absence as easy on them as possible. Each pet is unique and whatever they need, I will provide!
