“Natalie was awesome! From the photos she sent, our Seth looked comfortable and right at home. Communication was great and are looking forward to having Natalie look after Seth again. Thank you!”
“Finding someone that you can trust that will care for and love your fur baby as you do can be challenging. We were able to find someone and more in Robin. From the moment we started taking to the meet and greet to leaving Remy with her for a few days was fantastic. Her communication was excellent and fast right from the beginning. We weren't gone long before she was already sending pictures which is something we said we would take any time.. throughout our few days away we received many updates and pictures and from the pictures we could see that Remy was very happy and being cared and loved just as we do. Robin's compassion to take care of and spend time with animals is very clear. Remy even seemed a little sad after we picked him up and brought him home like he missed her and her fun dog Stella. We can't recommend Robin enough and we will definitely be using again!”
“Molly was super sweet and took amazing care of our pups!! She sent us updates everyday and lots of pictures to keep me at ease and to ensure my girls were doing okay. I would definitely recommend Molly!!”
“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have worked many different animal specific jobs over the years. From pet stores, dog bathing, to overnight doggie daycares. There have always been animals around me at home, especially dogs! Now that my childhood dog (Brownie) is getting older, I’ve also gained more experience with senior canines too. I am currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to give attention to and care for your precious fur friend(s)! I am available for check-ins any day of the week after 11am. My family is able to help with transportation, but please discuss details with me ahead of time for availability if needed. My house has a spacious front and backyard, including an invisible fence that both of my dogs are trained with. There are plenty of dog beds, water bowls, and a big bucket of toys laying around inside the house. There is also multiple doggie doors leading from the inside of the garage and into the house (both have slide door blockers as well). I am located on a quiet dirt road and can offer dog walks to get extra energy out. A bathtub is also on the top floor if you’re interested in giving your pooch a relaxing spa day. I love taking photos/videos, don’t hesitate to ask!
“Kym and Robert have taken care of our dog, Rosie, multiple times over the last couple of years. They are reliable, caring, and keep us updated with photos and messages while we are away. Rosie is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return home. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Rosie is in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kym and Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“We are so thankful to Lizzie for taking such great care of Houston for the week. She made sure he was comfortable and included him in whatever she was doing. Lizzie is so good she anticipate Houston's needs. We know when we leave Houston with Lizzie we are coming back to a happy and healthy dog.”

I usually take my dog on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.
“Gianni’s had a great time with Lindsey! She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well as being a great communicator. We loved the report card that was sent home with him. Will definitely be booking again if we take another trip!”
“Lacey and Jeremy were absolutely fantastic with our pups! We have an older dog and a young puppy, both of whom need to have frequent potty breaks. This was no problem for them. They were so welcoming and loving with our guys. Lacey carefully listened to all our concerns and directions about the dogs but I didn’t need to worry because everything went so well. They had a long stay and had such a wonderful time that I wasn’t sure they would want to come home. Lacey communicated with us regularly and sent adorable pictures. We were surprised and delighted that both dogs were given baths and looked and smelled great when we picked them up. Lacey and Jeremy definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“Alyx accommodated last minute changes in the booking. She communicated well while I was away and sent two photos. I have used her services once for in-home sitting and this time for boarding in her home and would use again.”
“Natalie was very friendly and comfortable with Millie and her requirements. Safe environment and provided a report and photos during the stay. Will definitely book other stays for Millie with Natalie.”

“Brooke was terrific! She sent us plenty of photos, kept us up-to-date on our diabetic cat and was very comfortable calling or texting with questions (since we hadn't provided all of the answers). She was on time and extremely caring. We'll definitely be hiring her again.”
“Latisha has been perfection! She is so great with my dog, dependable and very responsive. Communication has been a breeze. Latisha sends updates and photos so I know everything is going well. I’m so happy I found her! My dog was nervous and Latisha’s become a trusted friend so quickly, she’s gentle and a nice calm presence which is just what a nervous pup needs.”
About: I've had cats my entire life. The cat in my life now is a sweetheart. Lucy is so soft and silky. My wife and I got her from the town animal control officer. Lucy was such a cute kitten. Lucy is still very cute and playfull at two years of age. I enjoy her immensely.
“We were so thankful for Lucy taking care of our kitties while we were away for the weekend. It was such a good feeling knowing they were fed and happy. She’s a great communicator and I loved that she sent us pictures of our cats, too. Lucy also went above and beyond. She came over the day before to meet us, get the key, and learn where everything was. She also cleaned up from one of our cat’s throwing up and unloaded our MyOllie’s fresh dog food order into the fridge for us. Will definitely utilize her services again ? thank you, Lucy!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!
“Stephanie was wonderful with my two cats! She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent me photos of them everyday. It was so nice to go away and know they were being well taken care of.”
About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel

“Highly recommend Jacki for anyone in or visiting the Rockland area. Pick-up and drop-off were a breeze. Our dog happily went right with her as if she knew her for forever and on the second day our dog gave full body wiggles when she realized she got to stay a second day. She was a happy and TIRED dog when we got home. Jacki's dogs were wonderful doggie hosts and welcoming friends.”

About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I have a lifelong love for animals. I grew up caring for both dogs and cats and currently have two rescued German Shepherds of my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll do my best to follow their routine and give them the care they deserve. I have experience caring for large dogs, reactive dogs, senior pets, and cats with different personalities and needs. I am also comfortable giving oral medications and injections/shots when needed, following your pet’s care instructions carefully. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide fresh water, meals, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 Brooke Mathews, you’re pets new best friend :) My schedule is very flexible. I recently graduated high school and will be attending college locally at SMCC, where I will be studying Early Childhood Education. Since I will be commuting, I have availability throughout the week for drop-in visits and walks. Outside of school, I spend most of my time caring for my two German Shepherds, spending time with my two sisters, and enjoying walks by the water. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I love being active and spending time outdoors. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and trusted environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk, I take the time to learn their routine, understand their needs, and build trust at their own pace. For dog owners: I am confident handling both large and small dogs, including those who may be reactive or require extra leash awareness. I focus on keeping walks safe, enjoyable, and tailored to each dog’s comfort level and personality while maintaining close attention to their surroundings. For cat owners: I offer drop-in visits for a time frame we discuss beforehand and will make sure your cat’s daily needs are met. Whether that includes feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated with patience, kindness, and respect.
About: I’m more than just a sitter — I’m someone who’s dedicated my life to understanding and caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs, and my passion for their well-being has only deepened over the years. I’ve worked hands-on in both doggy daycares and animal care facilities, where I gained experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — as well as other animals. I’ve also personally trained my own dog to become a service dog, which has given me deep insight into canine behavior, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques. I’m currently pursuing certification as a professional dog trainer and working toward a bachelor’s degree in Animal Behavior — so I bring both real-world experience and science-backed knowledge to every walk and visit. Whether it’s puppies needing structure, seniors needing gentle care, or high-energy dogs that need a good workout, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. Above all, I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, respect, and consistency. Right now, I have open availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s care. I'm currently in between jobs, so I’m flexible and able to accommodate last-minute bookings, daily walks, and extended stays. Even when I’m busy, I always make time for my own dog — caring for animals is just a natural part of my routine. Once I’m working part-time, pet care will still be a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s walks, check-ins, or overnight stays, I’ll continue to provide consistent, loving care with reliability you can count on. In My Home: I offer a safe, spacious, and fun environment for your pup! I have a large home with a secure, designated dog run for added safety. Your dog will also have a built-in playmate — my own well-trained and friendly dog, who’s great at matching energy levels and knows when to give other dogs space. It’s a great setup for high-energy dogs who love to play, but also calm enough for dogs who just want to relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions exactly as you leave them, and I always treat your space with respect. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adjust to your pet’s needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I've had dogs, usually one at a time, my entire life. My current dog, Rupert, was adopted from a shelter. Rupert has enriched my life so very much. I know that my wife, the spare parent, is just a bit jealous of how much Rupert and I love each other. I'm working at a job with flexible hours. I would be available for pet care during times when I'm not working my other job. It would be great to be able to coordinate pet care jobs near my human care job. I make sure my dog goes outside for walks, and to go to the bathroom, several times a day. I also like to take Rupert on longer walks on nearby trails at preserves. I make sure he is well fed and watered. Lots of cuddle time. For Lucy, the cat, I am the one that feeds her and takes care of the litter box. Lucy cuddles with the wife more than with me, but still plenty of cuddles and play time together.
About: I'm a 53yr old, active woman who spent 15 years as an Animal Control Officer in my local towns and then with my local Sheriff's office. I've fostered and adopted numerous rescues and am a huge animal advocate. Caring for other people's animals has always been my dream and now I'm doing it. I'm available almost any day at any time. I'm happy to stay with your pets or just stop in for a visit. I do not offer pet sitting in my home as my two rescues do not do well with other dogs. I will adhere to your wants and rules for your animals. I love my pets, and I will treat yours as if they are my own. But I will not do anything, give them anything, or let them do anything you do not approve of.
About: Hi, I'm a Wildlife Conservation, Animal Behavior and Biology undergrad that LOVES being outside! I have grown up alongside animals my entire life, and I know how to recognize behavioral signs before the reactions occur. I have experience with all ages and breeds of dogs, cats, barnyard friends, and exotic reptiles/birds/mammals etc... I am very seasoned in the patience department, and I love making fun puzzles with treats or toys. I frequently go on long walks/runs with energetic animals, and I've got a mean overhand throw that is guaranteed to tire them out! With senior animals, I like to read out loud to them and sunbathe out in the yard (if they are outdoor pets). I am also able to take pups out on field trips to the beach and hikes :) I live by the fact that all animals deserve the upmost respect, love, and support. I have dedicated my life to conserve the animals that populate the Earth and the habitat they depend on. I look forward to the next adventure with you and your pet! I am incredibly flexible with my travel radius and scheduling, reach out with any questions! I am available every day of the week unless the space is booked. I simply ask for open communication and kindness when scheduling/canceling. I will be here until Feb 5th, then I am leaving for study abroad in Australia until June 29th. I will follow any directions given by the pet/homeowner. I treat any space I'm in with the utmost respect-it's your home and your safe space. I can provide a variety of services, don't hesitate to reach out and we can coordinate based on your needs!

Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was very young. I’ve been officially working in pet sitting for five years. Animals usually love me, and I’m willing to be as pateint as needed for the ones who are more shy and may take longer to warm up. I move at there speed. I also make sure that your house stays in the same condition you left it in. Maybe even cleaner lol. There’s no need for you to come home to a messy house after a much needed vacation. Leave the stress to me. This has become my full time job as well while I begin to build my writing career. So I am available for you whenever you may need me. I have an extremely flexible schedule and can accommodate your needs. I would love to have a meeting where we go over all your expectations and needs, every person is unique in how they care for there pet. I aim to make this process as easy as possible. I’ll bring a note pad and you tell me all the details of there regiment. I will follow them to a T and give you live updates on your little friends whenever you need!!
About: Greetings! I'm Daniel, I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking off and on for 17 years. I love animals: With me, you get a new friend for your pets, and a dependable steward of your home. I believe in the Hawaiian meaning of "Kahu," that we should be guardians and beloved attendants of our animal friends. I devote highly sensitive heart-centered care for your pets for two main reasons: 1) I am a remote worker as a writer and healing coach, so I can be at home with our furry friends. I am not just feeding and walking your dog(s) and caring for your cats; I am providing emotional support and plenty of care (frequent outdoor breaks and walks, playtime, pats, massage, energy work, etc.). 2) I am a professional in the practice of meditation and the healing arts, a path that cultivates empathy, which helps me bond with animals and be more attuned to their needs. I have been on this path for 17 years. I am highly intuitive. I practice Eastern techniques of energy work (qi qong and martial arts) and I am a certified Reiki practitioner, so I love to connect with animals as part of that practice (they are great conductors of energy, which is only ever healing and calming for them to experience). I aspire to the highest level of performance and etiquette. I promise to treat your pets and space as sacred; to maintain a clear boundary between me and your possessions; and to leave no trace. I understand that by inviting me into your home to care for your pets and space that I am with you as a new friend. From my many years of cultivation on my spiritual, healing, and professional path, I assure you my integrity is outstanding, and I would be happy to send you testimonies and references to confirm. Thank you for your trust. I would be happy to chat about sitting or walking for you. I look forward to joining you and yours' in friendship. Warm regards, Daniel I will be available to be at home with your pet for most of every day that I am sitting. My only obligation that takes me out of house are walking other dogs (1 to 3 hours per day) and then the occasional social or other engagement. I will never leave your pet alone for longer than 5 hours. As a remote worker, both for writing and offering healing/coaching services, I work from home and am therefore able to maintain a comforting presence for your pet and provide frequent outdoor time, play, and other care. I recognize the great trust that people grant me in caring for their homes and pets. Integrity is a guiding value of my life: You can rest assured that I will honor my commitment to care for your space and pets with the utmost attention and respect. I'll honor your instructions for being in your house and caring for your pets. I always live lightly, use no more than I need and am permitted to use, and I leave no trace. Thank you for your trust. Daniel

“Natalie was awesome! From the photos she sent, our Seth looked comfortable and right at home. Communication was great and are looking forward to having Natalie look after Seth again. Thank you!”
“Molly was super sweet and took amazing care of our pups!! She sent us updates everyday and lots of pictures to keep me at ease and to ensure my girls were doing okay. I would definitely recommend Molly!!”
“Breanna has been an absolute lifesaver! Her flexibility was quite remarkable. But, on to the dogs— she’s like a dog whisperer lol. My very difficult and reactive dog took to her immediately and my senior dog was comfortable as well. My dogs were well cared for, no doubt about it. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have worked many different animal specific jobs over the years. From pet stores, dog bathing, to overnight doggie daycares. There have always been animals around me at home, especially dogs! Now that my childhood dog (Brownie) is getting older, I’ve also gained more experience with senior canines too. I am currently unemployed, so I’ll have plenty of time to give attention to and care for your precious fur friend(s)! I am available for check-ins any day of the week after 11am. My family is able to help with transportation, but please discuss details with me ahead of time for availability if needed. My house has a spacious front and backyard, including an invisible fence that both of my dogs are trained with. There are plenty of dog beds, water bowls, and a big bucket of toys laying around inside the house. There is also multiple doggie doors leading from the inside of the garage and into the house (both have slide door blockers as well). I am located on a quiet dirt road and can offer dog walks to get extra energy out. A bathtub is also on the top floor if you’re interested in giving your pooch a relaxing spa day. I love taking photos/videos, don’t hesitate to ask!

“Gianni’s had a great time with Lindsey! She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times as well as being a great communicator. We loved the report card that was sent home with him. Will definitely be booking again if we take another trip!”
“Lacey and Jeremy were absolutely fantastic with our pups! We have an older dog and a young puppy, both of whom need to have frequent potty breaks. This was no problem for them. They were so welcoming and loving with our guys. Lacey carefully listened to all our concerns and directions about the dogs but I didn’t need to worry because everything went so well. They had a long stay and had such a wonderful time that I wasn’t sure they would want to come home. Lacey communicated with us regularly and sent adorable pictures. We were surprised and delighted that both dogs were given baths and looked and smelled great when we picked them up. Lacey and Jeremy definitely exceeded our expectations.”
“Alyx accommodated last minute changes in the booking. She communicated well while I was away and sent two photos. I have used her services once for in-home sitting and this time for boarding in her home and would use again.”
“Natalie was very friendly and comfortable with Millie and her requirements. Safe environment and provided a report and photos during the stay. Will definitely book other stays for Millie with Natalie.”

About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.
About: I have a genuine passion for dogs and all animals; my goal is to help families take off some pressure so both they and their pets can enjoy life to the fullest!

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have; I would love to help you and your pup (or kitty!) as much as I can! I work out of Augusta Monday through Friday from 7-3 but have some flexibility within that. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am flexible to the needs of the family and their pet. I live near plenty of trails/beaches, and can be available for longer walks/hikes when requested!
About: I've had cats my whole life.. they make life better and it's a big responsibility as well. I have taken many older cats in from the shelter and they had great lives with us. Would love to babysit your kitty or dog. I have 3 cats in my home and I've had many kittens and elderly cats. We have a catio and many toys to entertain your kitty. Catio, toys, food and love! I can give meds as needed as well, or special foods. I can also go to your home for visits.
