“First of all, let me start by saying this couple is by far one of the nicest families I’ve met out here. Last minute booking and they welcomed my pup with open arms. Cassidy and Cody kept me up to snuff with day to day life while I was away and even sent pictures of them on adventures. They took great care of my pup and their sweet kids spoiled him with hourly cuddles and brushes so he came home looking like a million bucks. Thank you to the entire family for taking such great care of my boy. Aloha”
“Heidi was fantastic with our pit mix Escanor. She is very knowledgeable about different dog breeds and their specific mannerisms and characteristics. She is very smart when it comes to who they interact with outside while still allowing your dog to get their exercise daily. Our dog had a great time and hope to use her services in the future for boarding and hopefully doggy daycare as well.”
“Our dog loves to visit Kimberly! Our dog is always very relaxed, happy, and has obviously been well taken care of every time we pick her up. Kimberly has been very accommodating to our schedule. We highly recommend her.”
“Khaila is incredible! She is a true dog lover and very knowledgeable. There are few people I trust with my dogs, and she's one of them! I know my dogs will be in good hands with Khaila, and she's my first choice in sitter in the Saco area. She's flexible with plans, responsive, and very communicative. I appreciate the updates she shares with me, and I know I don't have to worry when my dogs are being watched by her. Thank you Khaila!”
“Coconut's stay at Kelly's was fabulous. She took her out on an adventure, let her sleep on her bed, and overall showed a lot of empathy and understanding for pets. Her place is clean and very dog friendly. We would absolutely book with Kelly again!”
“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Stefany was amazing. She accepted my last minute request and responded to all my messages very quickly. She gave me lots of updates and bonded immediately with my dog, even though he can be picky about people sometimes. Would recommend for anyone who needs a dog sitter in Maine!”
“I will definitely reach out to Christina for any care for my pup. Her communication and attention to my dog was unmatched and I’m sure my dog will be excited to see her again!”
“Claudia and Jason were so thoughtful and communicative. Opie had an excellent week with them and they sent me pictures and updates regularly. I will book with them again!”
“Baxter had such a great stay with Anne, we love her. This was my first time boarding him, he's a nervous but very social young rescue. He had so much fun playing with Anne's dogs and was so comfortable with Anne. There is a beautiful yard and a very comfortable house they have the run of. I got lots of pictures and updates! We'll definitely be boarding here again!”
“What can I say that gives this couple the credit they deserve. Amazing. Pepe didn't even want to come home. He was clearly well cared for, evident from the daily pictures and comments. I truly believe he had a much better time with Trisha than if he had stayed home. Will book again, for sure. Thanks so much!”
“I’m so happy we found Sergey at the last minute. My two dogs stayed with Sergey’s for six nights. They came home tired, happy, and clean. Sergey was extremely flexible with our timing when our travel was delayed. I would not hesitate to recommend Sergey as a pet sitter.”
“Sridevi took wonderful care of my dog, Sasha. I had to book with her at the last minute because of a funeral and she could not have been more accommodating. Sasha was so content at her house in such a short period of time, I was very impressed. Sasha does not usually warm up to people so quickly, so I knew she was in good hands. 🐾”
“Molly and Ricky are very responsible and loving dog sitters. Our dog, Myla is so excited the moment we pull into their driveway! Their pups are wonderful playmates and accepted Myla from her very first stay. We’ll be back!”

“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”
“Lyndsay was great! This was our first time trusting someone who isn’t family to care for our cat Jose. We were a little nervous, and after the first drop in visit we completely relaxed. Jose is shy, but sweet and was comfortable with her immediately. Lyndsay sent photos and a report at each visit, she’s very fast to respond to messages. It couldn’t have gone smoother When we need a sitter again we will be reaching out to book Lyndsay.”
“Abigail was so great with moose! She worked through a snafu with our keys seamlessly and cared for moose so well. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our boy while we were gone for an evening. ❤️”
“We were so fortunate to find Lisa to care for our geriatric cat while we were away for two weeks. We were a bit anxious about leaving him for so long, but Lisa quickly put us at ease. Big Al’s needs go beyond feeding and cleaning the kitty litter. Lisa not only managed everything smoothly, but she went above and beyond to make sure Al was comfortable and stress free. Lisa’s daily updates were detailed and showed us that Al was happy and enjoying being spoiled by her. We will definitely request Lisa’s help for all our future cat sitting needs.”
“Faith has checked in on our two elderly cats on several occasions. She gives them food, water, and medication and cleans the litter boxes. Faith is reliable and easy to work with. We trust her in our home and to be kind to our girls, which is significant to us.”
“Sara did a wonderful job with drop-in visits for our two cats! Followed all instructions, sent detailed updates and lots of photos, and was vey patient with our shyer cat. Would highly recommend and book again.”
“Nikki watched our two cats while we were gone for a long weekend. She send lovely and detailed updates and was responsive to my questions. Upon returning home, our boys are happy and healthy! I would definitely hire Nikki again!”
“Elizabeth was great! We met before the reservation to go over medication and feeding. Bing and Elizabeth got along great together. If I go away again, I will definitely try to book her again.”
“Christina did a wonderful job caring for our cat and birds all week. Her updates and photos were much appreciated while we were away. She was easy to communicate with and responded promptly.”
“Sara always provides peace of mind when we travel. So much so that we already have her booked for our next trip. She is a bona fide "cat whisperer" who our middle aged Miss Puss seems to enjoy ... and she is a bit of a neurotic beast so that is saying something. Our family (Miss Puss and all) highly recommend Sara if you need someone to care for your feline while you are away from home.”
“This was the first time I have been away from my pets for an extended period of time. Nicole was great, very reassuring, and I was so thrilled to see her daily pictures. Even it was me. My cat was hissing at her.🤣 I highly recommend her for pet sitting”
“Thank you again Nishat. We highly recommend Nishat to watch your pets. Our kitties were happy and so are we. Even though we don’t have strict time expectations, Nishat was prompt every day with pictures!”
About: I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember. From the barn cats on my grandfather’s farm to the stray cats I’ve cared for over the years, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. I’ve been providing cat sitting and house sitting services since my early 20s and am comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I also have extensive experience caring for senior cats, including administering oral medications and injections when needed. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind.

“It was a pleasure to have our whippet puppy Fern cared for by Cassidy and Cody while on vacation in Cape May. Cassidy and Cody were so laid back, relaxed and flexible when it came times and days we needed care for Fern. Fern was nervous at first meeting and staying with new friends Gus, (their dog) and their 2 children, but she was wagging her tail and so excited to go back to their house the following day! Fern got extra walks, and even went to the beach with them! We felt very comfortable leaving our baby In their care! I also appreciated getting text and picture updates of how Fern was doing throughout the day. I would definitely reach out to Cody and Cassidy again for dog sitting when we are in the area.”
“Vanessa is the first pet sitter we have tried since moving out of state and we feel very lucky we found her. She is very caring and loving and her house and yard are very well suited for safety and comfort. Both Princess and I felt comfortable after our meet and greet. Princess had an excellent day there with Vanessa and her pup Pepper who is a very sweet and good boy! I highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely be booking more stays with her!”
“My husband and I were in town for a funeral and needed a quick and great person to watch our 5month old Husky. We booked her 2x, back to back days and she was so quick to make space for our baby and we really appreciate that! Amanda was super easy to work with and Koda was so happy to see her the 2nd time around he jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. We also communicated throughout the day for updates and that was really appreciated as a first time puppy mama!”
“Khaila provided amazing day care for my almost 2 year old cockapoo when I had a long work day. She was patient and gentle with him despite him being a nervous boy at first. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“i would definitely book simon again! he was lovely and very accommodating. he gave a thorough report when i picked up my pet who came home calm and taken care of. i was also impressed by his own lovely, and nicely trained dog. that says a lot!”
“Bailey loves Kate. They played together and went on walks. I felt he was in good hands. I completely trusted her. Such a nice feeling to know your dog is both safe and happy.”
“Lindsay is fantastic. She has been a lifesaver with our new pup. He always comes home happy and tired, and Lindsay always gives great updates so I know exactly how our pup has been throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

About: I have been working with dogs and cats professionally since May of 2012 with my primary focus on dog walking. From puppies to seniors, I have walked and pet sat all temperaments and ages of dogs. I have a year and a half of basic dog training experience, which also included working with reactive and anxious dogs. Being fluent in dog body language is essential! Subcutaneous injections are also a part of my skill set, as I used to have a diabetic cat that needed insulin injections twice daily as well as a client that needed Adequan injections twice a week. I am available any day of the week for walks and drop ins from about 7am - 8pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I would love to hear from you!

Taking care of dogs and cats was my heart’s calling and I’ve never looked back. Getting to know your furry critters and building a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship with them is my favorite thing in the world. Every dog and cat has a unique personality and I enjoy learning what works (and what doesn’t work!) for them and lovingly cater to their specific needs, likes, and dislikes.

My goal is always to keep your pets safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. At home, I share my life with my husband, step-daughter, our Golden Retriever, our cat, and our adorable Holland Lop rabbit, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your animals.

Rest assured that your furry friends will get plenty of attention and snuggles while in my care. I care for your pets as if they are my own. When coming in to your home, I am respectful of privacy and boundaries and will follow the routine provided with the utmost care and love.

“Ariana was a true professional and I was beyond happy with her services. She was the first person I tried to care for my Daisy girl and I couldn’t have found someone better. Daisy loved her. She came back exhausted from their adventure which was just what I was hoping for. She missed her when she left. It was a perfect match. Very dog knowledgeable and caring by nature, I feel very lucky!!! Thank You Ariana ❤️ Laura and Daisy 🌸”
