“Carla took extra time to get to know our anxious little dog before she came to stay with him while we were traveling. He was relaxed and happy when we came home and she was the perfect guest, so considerate. We have already asked her to return.”


“Always great having Gillian watch my pups. She's very communicative throughout the entire stay, always sending photos and messages. She's my go to when it comes to a sitter choice!”


“Alison was very conscientious and thorough in staying with my two Cavaliers. They were VERY happy pups while she stayed with them! She kept me informed about how they were doing, which allowed me to relax while I was gone. She also left my home in excellent condition—i never would have known anyone was here! I highly recommend Alison.”


“We had Shaun watch our 2 active Doberman pups at our home for 2 nights. It was our first time leaving them overnight so both the family and the dogs were a bit anxious. Shaun did an excellent job with easing our nerves. She sent us updates with photos and when we came back home, the house was clean & she even did a load of the dog laundry! I would have her dog & house sit again in a heartbeat!”


“Glendon was wonderful. We had great confidence leaving our dog with him. He sent daily messages that included photos and videos. When we returned the house was immaculate, and Glendon had prepared dinner for us. We could not have had a better experience. We will try to get him any time we need a dog sitter in the future. Thank you Glendon!”


“This was our first time having Chloe house sit for us. We have a senior dog, and a bunny. We’ve used other sitters before, and Chloe is the best we’ve had. After 5 days away we return to happy animals, and the house was clean, and tidy. She even went above and beyond watering all our plants, and our garden. Great communicator. Plenty of pictures of our happy pets. Highly recommend Chloe as a sitter.”


“Sydney petsit in our home this past week, taking care of our cat and dog. She was incredibly responsive and sent sweet pictures of our pets throughout our trip. Our neighbors often pitch in to help with each other's pets, and Sydney coordinated with these neighbors to provide seamless care. Definitely will be working with Sydney again!”


About: >> I share this account with my daughter Ellie << Hey im Sarah! I have always loved animals and have taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was 12. My sister and I trained our own small terrier puppy when I was young and I have always had a dog ever since. We now have a wonderful Berniedoodle in our family, who gets along great with other dogs and is always ready for a play date. So maybe you would like us to help train a puppy, walk your dog or spend time with your cat. My schedule is normally quite flexible and we would love to get to know your animals! Hey im Ellie! I grew up with my family always owning and caring for dogs. I have taken care of my friend’s doggies and have taken care of other dogs. I also have experience with cats and love them! I have had 5 kitties in the past, but I have also cared for more. I am looking forward to pet-sitting your pets! Please let me know if you have any questions :) I have a very flexible schedule and will usually be able to rearrange things to accommodate your needs. Let me know, I can probably make it work. I prefer to come to your house to care for your pets, take them for walks and play with them, but I do also have a fenced in section of my yard and a friendly dog named Moxie to play with, so that is a possibility. There is also the Belfast dog park that we could visit. Lots of options and lots of fun to be had.

“Amber did great (as always) with keeping me updated and taking care of our little guy. I cannot recommend her enough. I’ve used her services twice now and I will continue to do so in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Amber!”


About: My name is Molly and I am an Ed Tech/BHP with availability and energy in the summer months. I have a four year old son and a ten year old dog, Zoe. Also popular in our household are Gracie, the seven year old bearded dragon, and Gus, the beta fish. This summer, I have an especially flexible schedule, but am happy to support you and your pet’s needs all year around. Although it is not my primary career focus, I have been involved in pet care for 20 years as a source of outside income and great passion. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss things further and determine if I would be a good fit for your pet family. I am currently working during the day, but am available in then afternoons or for boarding. I have summers off and would be available all day/week for walks, hikes, swims, playtime, and long term stays. My dog stays in the yard at the end of our private road. I adhere to the owner’s instructions for their pet’s safety while outdoors.

“Rachel was wonderful! She looked after our pups when we went for a day sail and they were happy and content when we returned. She was very thoughtful and calm with our slightly nervous Aussie Shepherd X and kept us updated throughout the day. Thank you Rachel!”



About: I've owned dogs my whole life. I know how hard it is to leave your dog home during the day so I'm here to play with them or give them lots of love and exercise. I'm a student so I have flexible hours during the weekdays. During the weekends I have mostly unlimited availability. I'm happy to take your dog to the park or just on a walk around the block. I know everyone has preferences on what their dogs likes and does not like. I'm happy to accommodate anything, just ask. Above all I love dogs and would rather be with dogs than humans on any given day. They bring so much joy to my life! I'm so excited to meet your pups and spend time with them!

“Taylor was fantastic! Her communication and follow through was perfect. She sent many photos and left our house just as we had. Thank you for taking the anxiety out of us going away!”


“Della was amazing! She took excellent care of our dog and chickens while we were away. It’s obvious that she truly cares about animals and was very considerate of our home space in and outdoors. Great communication and beautiful picture updates made us feel comfortable being away from our pets. 10/10 recommend Della!”


About: I am the dad to a crazy and highly energetic 2 year old dog, and have loved dogs all my life. I am good at asserting control, and love playing and giving them all the attention and love I work remote, so I have lots of availability during the week to be able to help take care of your dog. I also have very few meetings, so scheduling shouldn’t be a problem It is important to me that I perform exactly what the owner wants me to do in terms of walking, what the dog is allowed to do etc… I will make sure the dog is fully loved and attended to

“Geoffery took great care of our dogs and farm animals!! We were away for two days for a family wedding and it was helpful leaving our dogs with someone we felt we could trust. Geoffery visited us to meet the dogs and learn how to take care of things a couple of weeks before he cared for them, which was good to ensure it would all work out. While we were gone we received a few updates, which was nice and reassuring, and when we got home our dogs were tired and happy! Geoffery had taken them on so many walks and made sure all their needs were met. We will definitely request to book again for our next family wedding!”


About: Experience the Difference: I've always had dogs since I was little, and I have 2 of my own at home. Family and friends always trust me to take care of their dogs. At any gathering, you'll find me petting the closest dog. I love dogs and make sure to greet every single one I see! Currently, I'm working part-time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your furry friends. My availability changes weekly: I'm available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Every second week of the month, I'm available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Additionally, I'm available every other weekend after 4:30 pm. My overall goal is to make your pup feel comfortable and loved, just as they would with their own family! I ensure they receive the utmost care and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided to maintain their routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and medication if needed. I’ll spend quality time playing with them and always make sure their environment is clean and safe!

About: I’ve had animals since I could remember! At 3 I got my first 2 dogs, and at 5 I got my first cat! I’ve helped feed, care for, and love on my animals since I can remember! I now have a beautiful Maine coon cat and a Dog named Willy 😊 I work from seven to three Mondays through Thursdays, I am available after 3 on those days and any time on Friday Saturday and Sunday! I care for my own pets in my home. I am willing to walk and check on your dogs, and check on cats as well! I treat every animal with the love and respect that they deserve, my fur babies are my world!
