Trisha was so helpful in agreeing to watch Peyton for us on only a couple of days notice. Peyton had such a good time playing with Trisha and Dan's dog Stout - she slept in the next morning until 9am (she had been waking us up at 5:15am every morning!). Trisha was so flexible and easy to work with - thanks again! :) ”

She was also super sweet to allow me to adjust the pick up time. I had no doubt Jerry was in great hands. Thank you again Kseniia!”

We will definitely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her!””

We were both able to fully relax knowing our kitties were in safe and reliable hands 🖤 let me know when you’re back in the area!!”

About: I grew up with a Maine Coon and currently have 2 cats of my own. I got my first cat at 15 that I have been the sole caregiver of since then. She’s 11 now and has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well as senior care. I got my second cat in 2020 as a rescue when he was still a kitten. He’s been leash trained, sits on command, and is the biggest cuddle bug. From young to old I have experience with all sorts of cats.
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I have had cats my whole life, and have familiarity with all types of behaviors and personalities. If your cat needs extra care or medication, I am trained and able to provide that.

“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.”
About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.
“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.”
“A very safe wonderful place for my pup for the day. Easy access to their place and an adorable clean neighborhood. Lots of pics and walks. Ideal situation for us. Rachael was wonderful.”
“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!”
About: Hi, my name is Michael and I am a proud owner of a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and my dog and I would both love to have your pups company. Please let me know if you have any special instructions and I promise your pup will have a comfortable stay with many fun walks. Thanks! I provide 5 walks a day for my own pup and would love for your dog to join. I work from home so your dog will have ongoing company throughout most of the day. I have one friendly dog in a quiet calm environment with no children. I will feed and walk your doggy as requested, and can provide lots of pets as well.
“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.”
“Marna is just wonderful with our little dog. Marna is conscientious and kind . She is great at keeping us updated with posts and pictures. We highly recommend her.”

About: Hi! I’m Ashleigh, a dependable and compassionate animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventure or prefers a slow, relaxing stroll, I’ll make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll treat them with the same love and patience I’d want for my own pets. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout every visit. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently work a full-time job, but I’m actively building my dog walking and drop-in care services with the goal of making this my full-time work. I’m dedicated to providing reliable, attentive care and treating every visit like it matters—because it does. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, potty breaks, attention, and care they need. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep them safe, and make every visit a fun, positive experience. You’ll also receive updates and photos so you know your pup is happy and well cared for.

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. Additionally, 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 I have been walking dogs and doing drop ins for cats and dogs professionally for over 13 years. I am now available full time for care in the Standish and Gorham areas. I LOVE my job! 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. When caring for dogs in my home, they have constant supervision and are free to roam the living space. This is ideal for dogs with separation anxiety! I will do all walks, outdoor playtimes, and potty breaks on leash, as often as they need. If the dog likes, they will sleep in bed with me and my pug mix!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of pet sitting experience caring for all kinds of furry (and feathery!) friends. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including diabetic care, incontinence support, young puppies and kittens, and pets who just need a little extra patience and attention. 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. I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of my own family—with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. Whether your pup needs a fun walk or your cat needs quiet companionship, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm available for daily dog walks, cat-sitting and house-sitting, and occasional weekend or weekly boarding. 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.
