“Emma was fantastic! She communicated with us and gave us video/pics of both cats. I appreciate that she took the time to hang with our kitties as they do not like to be alone. We’ll definitely use her services again.”
About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.
About: I grew up with both dogs, cats and rabbits. I’ve cared for various other mammals throughout my life. I have experience with senior and sick animals as well. I have house sat for many neighbors and their various pets over the years. I currently work a very flexible job from home which takes up less than 20 hours a week so I have plenty time to spend with your pets. I have always loved animals but I currently don’t have any pets of my own. We will have plenty time for pets, walks and playing outside.
“Our kitties had a great time with Erin on her first visit to our house. I gave her a lot of helicopter mom instructions and she met the challenge! We got cute photos of our babies each day and she played with them and took care of our baby boi’s weepy eye, brushed them, and spent time on the porch.”
“Chloe was great - she sent very detailed messages and pics each day and the cats really seemed to like her. We came home and they acted like we hadn't even been gone (because Chloe took such good care of them). Chloe was lovely and we'd definitely use her again in future!”
“Nicole did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were on a work trip. She was communicative, kind, and sent plenty of pictures. We absolutely recommend her if you're looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s)! Thank you, Nicole!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my house for as long as I have been alive and have a great love for dogs and cats alike. I have years of experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I currently work a full time job but have Sunday through Tuesday off every week and have plenty of time to drop in and feed or play with your pet as well as take your pet for a walk. I am un able to take dogs into my home as my current residence does not allow dogs, but I am more than happy to drop in to your home and take care of your pet.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little kid and helped my parents at my uncle’s farm. I truly love all animals and enjoy their individual personalities. I have experience dog/house sitting dating back to 2000 in the Camden area. Since we moved last year, I’m looking to meet new clients and help you with your furry loved one in the Waterville area. I worked in animal hospitals in my early 20s so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from in many areas (but not exotic pets, as none of the veterinarians I worked with were specialtists.) I’m currently working with the ability to come home during lunch. I am available for walkies before work, during lunch, after work and prior to bedtime. Any pet I take care of is treated as if they’re a member of the family. I believe in spoiling pets with love, but keeping the boundaries of the owner so as not to undo any training. Reinforcing good behavior is always a priority.
“Geoffrey was amazing! He took great care of our cat, excellent communication, he sent photos from his visits and he really cared about making sure our cat was getting company and time to play. I highly recommend Geoffrey and I will book with him 100% if I need to go out of town again.”
“McKenna was a GREAT pet sitter. She was on time and did all the tasks asked and even filled the bird feeders. Best of all, Stormy was excited to see her each day for food and pets. Her photos were so appreciated and so well done. I really appreciated her daily updates.”
“Melissa sat our four cats while we were out of town for the weekend and she did an excellent job. She was communicative and she was attentive to our pets. We’ve always had some minor issues with them at meal time; Melissa is the one who figured out a viable solution. We so appreciate her effort and care. We’ll definitely be calling on Melissa again and have no hesitation in recommending her for your pet sitting needs.”
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 been grooming dogs for about 2 years, and still adding to that! But looking to spend a little extra time on the other end of pet care! (Walking and sitting) with that being said I could also do in home grooms for a small extra cost! I’m currently working part time so I would have plenty of time to fit you and your loving babies in to my schedule! And I’m willing to travel! I live on a long dirt road away from the traffic of the main road, perfect for safe walks with my personal dog, who would love to chase balls with friends!
About: Leave your pets with someone who makes them feel like you never left them. I will treat your babies like my own. They will not go a second without feeling they’re loved and cared for. I have a full time job besides this. It’s a 7:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday. I also have a part time job. You will know my schedule when we talk to see if it will be a good fit! Eventually I wanna do this as much as I can. So once I get frequent accounts I will be dropping my part time job and go from there! Taking care of someone else’s pets is a privilege. Yes, I am getting paid but I also take your trust in me taking care of your babies seriously. I will do as told and not do anything you wouldn’t approve of. I will take care of your pets the way I would want mine to be cared for. I always like to message frequently to give updates and picture! * ILL BE TAKING A DOG FIRST AID AND CPR CLASS SOON*

Kristen P.
“"I can't recommend Kristen enough as a pet caregiver! She has an incredible passion for animals and treats every pet as if they were her own. With a Bachelor of Science in Animal Health and Behavior and a perfect GPA, she’s not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally responsible. Since 2018, she has lovingly cared for her cat, and in 2023, she welcomed a dog into her life—both of whom she absolutely spoils with love, treats, and thoughtful care. Kristen’s pets are her fur babies, and any pet in her care will be showered with attention and affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and truly devoted, Kristen is the perfect choice!"”

Shiela C.
“Shiela has cared for multiple of my pets countless times and I couldn’t be more pleased, she loves animals more than anything and you can tell just by how quickly she is able to connect with them. Anytime she would show up to take care of any of my pets they would go bezerk seeing her. They were always well cared for in her hands. They would always be playing, going for walks, any time I needed help with pet sitting she was always there. I think Shiela is the best person to be taking care of anyone’s pets.”
