“Peter is great! Excellent communication. He is prompt in responding to questions around availability. Very accommodating as far as setting up a meet and greet. My dog Lola immediately took to Peter and his adorable dog Zeffy. Which is saying something because she is very cautious with new people and situations. Lola really enjoyed spending time with her new friends and I will definitely be using Peter again.”
“Primrose had a good time at Kellie's playing with her two chihuahuas and running around their large fenced in backyard. She was a tired happy puppy when we got her home. Thank you for giving Rosie a home away from home for the weekend! :)”

Took amazing care of my two labradors, and kept me up to date on their daily activities, and is just a kind person. I would HIGHLY recommend booking her if you need help with your pets!”
“Ksennia took such great care of my dog Murphy for several days at her house! I got a lot of photos and updates on how he was doing and he looked super happy and comfortable in every one. Her place was very neat and she even had a kennel in their yard for the dogs. I will definitely ask her to dog sit again!”

“This was the first time I’ve left my older rescued lab for more than one night. Just seemed unnecessary. But we had to be out of town and I’m so happy I found Jeanne to take care of Buddy. She kept me up to date on how things were going and Buddy had a great time with the other boarders. Will definitely use Jeanne again!”
“Katie was great with drop off and pickup. She administered Clover’s meds and was quick to get back to me when I communicated with her. She was also very flexible with my late pickup when plans changed, and I really appreciate that.”

“Elizabeth was great! She always provided pictures of our two cats along with notes on how they were doing. It was nice to know that they were both being well taken care of. I would not hesitate to hire her again!”
“Abigail was great to work with, and very pleasant. She took super "wildlife" pictures of my Fur People, and was prompt in communications. One of my cats is shy, but Abigail was able to get him to warm up to her.”
“Lori was great. She was very communicative with us and sent pictures. And understanding of our cat who was shy. I definitely would hire Lori again to watch our cat thank you, Lori!”
“Casey was a great cat sitter for my elderly cats. She kept me well updated while I was away and was very responsive when I reached out to her also. My two cats seem very well cared for in my absence. Would book with Casey again!”
“Becca did an amazing job taking care of our 2 kitties! She sent thorough updates and pictures so we knew how things were going. She was very easy to communicate with and always responded quickly. One of our cats is on medication, and she was able to administer her pill and provide detailed updates so we didn’t have to worry about our cat’s chronic health issues. She went above and beyond taking care of the house, even taking out the trash for us when it got full. She was very detail oriented and we knew the cats were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Peter was excellent! He was really reliable and made an effort to keep to a consistent visiting schedule. Most importantly, he built trust and confidence with our cat and sent us updates and photos after every visit. We would absolutely recommend him!”
“So glad to have booked with Eva! She put me to ease with her experience and quickly understanding my cat's needs (and knowing when he didn't want attention anymore). She took pictures and kept me posted while we were away. I'll be booking with Eva again!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and goats! I love animals and I am a biology-pre vet major at the University of New England!

I have a nice big yard for yours pets to enjoy and I have lived with dogs my whole life so my house is definitely fit for a dog!
“Excellent communication on a daily basis. Catherine both housesat and watched our cats for several days. Our kitties were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We are grateful for her great work.”
About: Life-long pet lover with several years of dog walking experience. Also volunteered at the animal shelter, attended a dog training course, and took the vocational Health Occupations course in High School which included job shadowing at a vet's office. Scheduling should be pretty flexible. We are located in Wells & work part time locally. Please inform us what your needs are and we will try to accommodate! We live in an apartment so we will care for your dogs inside as well as giving them walks & allowing them in the yard on long leashes. Our two dogs will be overjoyed to have playmates, but if yours are shy or nervous we can keep them separated. Trips to the beach, dog park, or walking trails are also doable!

“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!”
“Kiley was amazing! She took excellent care of my German shepherd who has separation anxiety. She sent lots of great photos and even sent him home with a toy he fell in love with. She was easy to communicate with and was extremely flexible with my schedule.”
“Kseniia is the BEST! We had a family trip planned for Funtown Splashtown and needed last minute doggy daycare for our papillon while at the park. We were late to arrive and late to pick up, but Kseniia accommodated our unpredictable schedule changes with ease. She sent us several photos and made our little girl feel at home. I would highly recommend Kseniia and her family for doggy daycare. We will be saving her info for the next time we are in the Portland area. Thank you!!”
“Jeanne was perfect for what I wanted in a dog sitter while visiting a non-dog friendly town. She was flexible about days and hours, she had a safe and cool place for my dog, and she had just the right number of dogs so there was plenty of play time but everyone was looked after. The photo she sent me on my dog’s first day of him asleep on her kitchen floor was all I needed to feel entirely comfortable bringing him back.”
“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: I’ve loved animals and grew up with them my entire life. I’m most comfortable with dogs and cats, but I can accommodate additional pets with direction and can deal with all different pet personalities quite well! I’m currently working from home, so my availability is quite open for most situations. I’m also open and would love something regular where I can stop in and do house calls or walks for those pet parents that had to return to the office! I can be flexible! I understand that your pet is your family, and I take that very very seriously. I promise to always treat them well and have their safety as a top priority.
About: I grew up dogs from the time I was little- labs, retrievers, shepherds- and had a special needs rescue dog with my partner for many years who lived to be fifteen. When she passed, my partner and I started boarding and house sitting regularly and have built up a pretty cute little pack. I am comfortable giving oral medication and upholding your dog’s schedule, house rules, and love to take field trips whenever possible. My favorite is when a dog can come with me everywhere, so smaller senior pups have become my specialty, but I can’t help but love all the dogs who come along. As a videographer and Maine youth basketball coach I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule and spend a lot of time working from home editing videos. I’m fairly active, always happy to take breaks from work to walk around the neighborhood or find a pet-friendly beach to run around on. I’m in an apartment very close to Deering Oaks Park and the Western Prom. The apartment is a compact second story walk up and has been carefully maintained to keep it safe for curious noses.
“This was our first time leaving our newly adopted dog at someone else's home, and we felt anxious about it, of course. But, all of that anxiousness melted away after meeting Joshua and Ionna! Super nice folks, with very calm demeanors. Our sweet new pup, Olive, can be timid around new people and dogs, and they were very mindful of that, and very understanding. Their two pups, Charlie and Emma, are lovely, happy goofballs! We had a great experience with our Miss Olive staying there, and we plan to continue requesting doggie daycare with them whenever needed!”
“Emily and Kieran took a very good care of our dog! They were very accomodating even on the last minute notice, and were very flexible on the timing, which we really appreciate :) They took Ohsam out for a walk several times, gave lots of loves and cuddles. I can see Ohsam had a great time with the family! Would recommend them during our next visit in Portland. Thank you!!”
“Hannah was excellent. She responded to me quickly—very important when you have left your search til the last day. She was clear, always very nice, calming, and she checked to be sure that my dog, Frances, had a temperament which did not object to the presence of her, evidently mellow, two dogs and one cat—she was just very good at customer service. I felt very secure with my dog staying in her (and her husband’s) care. She (and they) obviously knows and cares for dogs. I had useful feedback from the visit (my dog was fine with her cat—(and dogs)—though she has had very little exposure to cats—so it appears vibes are what count with Frances. ) Hannah was friendly even when I changed my time plans on the actual day, oh-so-gently informing me she would definitely modify whenever she could, but she was dealing as well with other customers’ sometimes conflicting schedules. She was very good!”
“Peter T knows his dogs. He is the most caring, knowledgeable, compassionate guy. My Rosie loved him from the get go. Look no further for the person who takes as much care and love as Peter T. I would drive from Massachusetts to Wells ME for this guy!!!! My husbands stress level dropped when we left her with him. On a scale of 1-5, i’d give him a 5 being the best st what he does.”
“Ashley is amazing with dogs, and provides a safe yet busy and fun environment that all but guarantees leaving your pup happy and tired. We are so thrilled to have found her and plan to leave our mini doodle Sam with her again and again. Highly recommended!”
“We left our sweet Bichon with Cassidy while attending a wedding nearby. We received a pic of him during the wedding and felt reassured. We picked him up to find him in fine form, having played and cuddled like he does at home. Recommend.”
About: I've always had a natural connection with dogs since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated to my calm energy and ability to sense their needs. Your dog will not just be taken care of but will feel safe like they're spending time with an old friend. Retired computer nerd and musician available for dog walking and house visits most days of the week. Some dogs are welcome in our home with fenced in yard and 5 y.o. yellow lab Norma for playtime and companionship. My wife and I live in a wooded area in York with a large fenced in back yard. We are both retired and home most of the day to keep an eye on the pups. I am available for long or short visits to your home for dog walks and exercise to suite your needs. I am an avid walker and walk daily. I am fully insured with pet sitting/walking insurance.
“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!”
“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 pretty new to the community and have fallen in love with Maine. rates dependent on walk length and are negotiable!I work from home and am involved in the community.

“Becca is an a great dog walker. Our puppy can be mischievous and Becca was very good about managing her silly puppy behaviors. She was also flexible when I requested her to come a little earlier on a couple occasions. Highly recommended!”

About: I grew up with ferrets and guinea pigs, and currently have a dog! I've been pet-sitting for years, and have cat-sit for multiple families in my neighborhood. 🐈❤️ I'm currently working in Maine for the summer! I typically work 10-3 pm M-F, but am free most evenings and weekends. Feel free to reach out with any questions:) I am not currently offering in-home care, but I'm willing to come to yours! My main experience is with cats: providing them with wet and dry food, cleaning their litterbox, changing out their water, and playing with them. I have also dog-sit for dogs in my own home, with the main responsibilities being feeding them and bringing them on walks. However, I am flexible in terms of responsibilities and what works best for you and your pet. 🐾
“Ashley is so caring and thoughtful! She wants me and my dog to be comfortable, and really understands animals and thier needs. I feel very safe having my dog be taken care of by her! Thank you Ashley!”
About: I was a Certified Veterinary Technician in Colorado. I have been a dog walker in NYC and in Denver, I have walked many different breeds, and loved them all. I currently have 4 cats, two senior cats, one previously feral, and one with special needs. I am experienced at administering medication to both cats and dogs. Before I had cats, I had a Belgian Malinois/Australian Shepherd mix, so that's just to say I am also experienced with some of the more high energy and higher maintenance breeds. I have a good amount of availability these days. I currently set my own schedule of taking care of pets, and teaching private ballet lessons. I would offer dedicated care and attention to your pet while you are away. I'm happy to spend time playing or interacting with them as well as covering their other necessary needs ie. food, water, medications, bathroom breaks, or litter box cleaning.
“Kiley is amazing! We needed someone to fill in last minute to walk our pup while we were away, and she was so quick to get back to us. She's just wonderful with our dog, will definitely call her again the next time.”
“Catherine was absolutely great with our dog Maple. She did a meet and greet and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she knew the ins and outs of walking our pup. Catherine managed Maple incredibly well and took care in providing detailed rover cards of how the walks went!”
About: First of all, I have no reviews yet because I am new!! I am retired and have had dogs all my life. Always one to help out a friend with their dogs as well.

I would love to help you with yours :) I am retired and have lots of love, time and flexibility. I am available days, nights and weekend. You can reach out to me anytime. I would love to care for your dog in their own home. I feel that is where they are most comfortable. I am happy to stay overnight.
About: Hi there! My name is Clay and my Frenchie’s name is Vana. I am a work from home professional and dog sitter with years of experience caring for all types of pups. I am a huge animal lover and have always had a soft spot for dogs. In fact, I currently have a furry four-legged friend of my own who brings so much joy to my life. I understand that leaving your dog in the care of someone else can be stressful, which is why I go above and beyond to make sure your pooch is well taken care of while you're away.

I look forward to meeting you and your dog! As someone who works from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day to attend to the needs of the pets in my care, such as providing food and water, taking them for walks, and giving them the love and attention they need. I also make sure to set aside dedicated time for pet care in my schedule. For example, if I am providing overnight stays for a pet, I will plan my work around their needs to ensure they are well taken care of. Overall, pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily and weekly routine, and I am dedicated to providing the best care possible to the animals in my care. When caring for pets in my own home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. This includes providing plenty of fresh water, a clean and cozy place to sleep, and any necessary toys or other amenities. I also make sure to keep a close eye on the pet to ensure their well-being and address any concerns or issues that may arise. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I follow any specific care instructions provided by the pet owner and make sure to keep the home clean and tidy while the pet is in my care. I also keep a close eye on the pet to ensure their well-being and address any concerns or issues that may arise. Additionally, I am happy to follow any routines or schedules the pet is used to, such as feeding and walk times, to help make their time away from their owner as stress-free as possible.
