Personalized care for your dog or cat - Milbridge

“Polly was great with our2 dogs. She’s definitely a “dog person.” Knowledgeable and compassionate. Our dogs didn’t seem to notice when we left they were happily playing with her two friendly, well behaved dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Our dogs loved her. And they were pretty well worn out when we got back to our cabin and they slept all night.”

“I had to cancel at the last minute because my dog had to go to Er because she got something stuck up her nose. Yep that’s right she a smart one ? Would book with Karen again when in need”

About: Your pets didn’t book the trip. They still expect room service. I provide calm, reliable care for cats, dogs, small animals, chickens, and the occasional household plant that has been left in my emotional custody. Most pets do best when their routine stays familiar, so I keep things simple: food, water, walks, litter, meds as instructed, photos, updates, and a steady human who shows up when she says she will. Many of my clients are away for a weekend, a work trip, a vacation, or a longer stay in Maine. Whether you live here year-round, are visiting for the season, or are here temporarily, I help keep pets settled while their people are away. I’m especially comfortable with cats, senior pets, shy pets, multi-pet homes, and animals who need patience before they decide I’m acceptable. HOUSE SITTING / OVERNIGHT CARE Overnight care is limited and best suited for planned trips, established clients, and pets who need a steady routine. I keep care selective so pets stay comfortable and the house stays sane. Before booking, please share your pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, quirks, and anything they believe is legally theirs. DROP-IN VISITS Best for cats, dogs, small animals, chickens, and pets who prefer their own home and their own couch rules. Visits may include feeding, fresh water, litter, outdoor breaks, medications as instructed, basic tidy-up, and photo updates. Extended visits may be recommended for multiple pets, senior pets, or more involved routines. DOGGY DAY CARE Small-group day care is offered on a limited basis for dogs I already know. Care is calm, structured, supervised, and not a chaotic free-for-all. This is not a high-volume facility-style service. I plan my schedule intentionally to support well-defined care needs and clear timelines. This allows me to provide consistent, attentive care whether you’re traveling nearby or farther from home. Safety and consistency are always a priority. I follow established routines, respect household instructions, and pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort. Clear communication helps ensure a smooth experience while you’re away.

About: Hello! I'm Ashley. I am 35 years old. I am from Stuart, FL. I am working in Bar Harbor for the summer and have recently decided to stay through winter until April 2026. I have always been an animal lover and if I could afford a farm and have every type of animal in it... I would. I have owned, dogs, fish, and birds. I have had dogs most of my life. I had a Jack Russell who lived to be 11 years old named Romeo...He was a ball of energy, he had eye problems and needed drops daily. I also had a Rat Terrier named Oliver, we bought him at a year old. He lived to be 14 years old. Most recently my sister currently has a mini golden doodle, who is 4 years old. I loved taking my dogs on the trails in the parks. If I didn’t travel so much, I would love a dog of my own. I work seasonal contract jobs outside the National parks, mainly in the summer season. I go walking everyday & I would love to bring your pup with me. I am renting an apartment but I also work downstairs from it so I can check on them and take them out throughout the day

“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”

Barbara L.

“Second time booking Kirk, and everything was just as great this time around! Kirk watched my dog for nine nights over the holidays while I was out of town. I got picture/video updates every day, and he continued to make my shy/anxious guy feel comfortable and happy. He even took him out to the large open area near his place where he could run around and have fun off leash. Super appreciative of Kirk and highly recommend!”

Josie M.

“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”

Kim H.

“Cleo took wonderful care of our two kitties while we were gone. Would feel totally comfortable and leaving them in her capable hands in the future.”

Gena S.

“Jill is excellent with our cats! She engages with them, is very observant of their habits and behavior, sends adorable photos , and lets us know if something is off. We highly recommend her!”

About: I am a cat mom of 1, but soon to be 2! I have always had a cat in my household since the day I was born! That’s 21 years of living with cats! At the age of 10, as one of my chores, it was my responsibility to feed our cats and give them water and I loved it! I left the litter box up to my dad! I do now have that responsibility as an adult though! I have always loved being around cats and there were times where there were no cats in our house and it felt very strange! I’ve had a total of 10 cats in my 21 years of life that I absolutely adore and soon to be 11 when we receive our newest addition! Overall, I am very experienced with cats and absolutely love them! I love their cuddles most of all!

“Phenomenal experience with Charlotte!!! My puppos had the best day with her visits. Having the updates and photos made me so happy. She was attentive and truly went above and beyond with the care of my dogs. Thrilled to have connected with her and cannot wait to use her again!! 🥰 Thank you again for going above and beyond!”

Hannah P.

“Sonia took great care of our very shy cat, and even coaxed him out from under the bed during her last visit. Thank you, Sonia!”

“Polly is a fantastic person and she exudes love for dogs. Our border collie felt instantly at home with her and her dogs Dexter and Blondie. We give her the Nobel Prize and our thanks 🙏”

“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of Rosie! Communicative and caring!”

Kayla B.

“Karen was great with our 2 dogs. She was very accommodating in terms of picking the dogs up and she gave updates (including pictures) throughout the day. Our dogs seemed comfortable and well taken care of. I would definitely use Karen again.”

Robin H.

“I cannot say it enough, Kirk was a life saver for my family and I. I will forever be grateful for Kirk being able to accommodate our dog last minute so as to not negatively impact our ski trip. You are simply amazing Kirk!! We most definitely will choose you any time we're in town and need doggy day care! Thank you so very very much!!”

Nicolette T.

“Debbie was very kind and our dog was definitely happy spending the day with her so we could go sightseeing in Bar Harbor! Debbie communicated with us professionally! She took our dog on a few walks he didn’t get bored! Her home is definitely a dog lovers dream! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I grew up with several different animals and have always loved being around them and taking care of them! At a very young age I really wanted to work with animals and that same passion of working with them is still the same today! As of right now, my schedule varies! I could be working any shift from 6:30-2:30, 7:30-4:30, 9:15-5:15, or 12:15-5:15. I am a new mom who is trying to make ends meet but working still isn’t helping because daycare is so expensive! I am really trying to pet sit part time or even full time! My weekends and holidays are always open except for the occasional family trips in the summer! I do not have a fenced in yard at my home so that means that your fur babies will be kept on a leash when taking them outside. Your fur babies will also be kept company by 2 friendly dogs and 2 friendly cats! I also have to crate one of my dogs so I can easily crate dogs if needed!
