About: I have experience working in a vet’s office and a doggy daycare facility, giving me hands-on knowledge of pet care for animals of all sizes—from small dogs to large breeds and even horses. I’m comfortable with both trained and untrained dogs and can administer medications as needed. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, or just some love while you’re away, they’ll be in safe and experienced hands! As a self-employed photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or drop-ins, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care that fits your pet’s needs. I’m looking to spend more time loving on some pets and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away! I live alone with no pets, providing a quiet and stress-free environment for your pet. I have 17 acres of walking trails for dogs to explore and plenty of space for private playtime. Your dog will be the only dog, and your cat will be the only cat, ensuring they get my full attention and a safe, one-on-one experience tailored to their needs. If you choose to host me in your home, you can rest easy knowing that I’m a respectful and tidy guest. I used to own a cleaning business, so keeping spaces neat and organized comes naturally to me. I always clean up after myself, ensuring your home stays just as you left it. Your pet will receive loving care in their familiar environment, and you’ll come home to a clean, well-maintained space!

“I want to give a shout out to Marisol, who has now come several times to walk our dog and provide support if we are away during the day. She is always a great communicator, responsible and caring, and I have total confidence that our dog is in great hands when she comes.”

About: I’ve been working in dog care, training, and professional grooming for the past 7 years including teaching puppy classes, training for invisible fence, and working as a professional pet stylist. I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs and I love every one like my own! You can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being spoiled and loved in my care. I also offer nail trims upon drop in visits for an additional cost, cats and dogs :) I am currently available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I am okay with short notice, and I would love to meet you and your fluffy friend! I am experienced with pets of all needs, I currently have 4 active sporting dogs. I am comfortable handling reactivity, escape artists, and high energy pups!

About: Currently I am between caregiving clients trying to decide what my next move is. I was born into an animal loving family, extended family, etc. I am 59 years old and have never been without at least a cat or two. I've also had 2 of my own dogs since 2005. My last senior dog passed the rainbow bridge in 2024. Born in Connecticut, lived for 45 years in Maryland and now I am living in Maine where I love it! One reason I fell in love with Maine is you can bring your dog almost anywhere here. They are a pet loving no-kill state! I have administered just about every kind of pet med out there. Every single pet has their own personality and I am very patient to learn that personality so we will become friends. I have a pretty open schedule with no real deadlines, so when ever your pets need walks, feeding, medications or just spend time with them, I am there. My own pets get feed twice a day. The time varies depending on my pet sitting schedule. But usually Its about 10am and 7pm. Whatever instructions left for me for a pet sit, I will follow to the letter. I will ask questions or text later to make sure I understand everything your pet needs. I've never run into an animal not liking me, but I am very aware of them not be comfortable with me at first. That can be stressful for them of course, so its very important that their care instructions are followed to keep them as anxiety free as possible.

About: * Rates vary based on responsibilities * Ask about my drop-in rates Thank you for being here! My name’s Amanda, 30 years old, animal lover born and raised right here in Maine. Caring for animals is one of life’s greatest joys, so I do it full-time while writing my book! My 3 year old Mixed pup Wally loves making new friends and comes along when possible. He is 20 lbs, neutered, and fully vaccinated. I am attentive, gentle, communicative, and responsible. You’ll never wonder if your pets are in good hands as long as they’re with me. My experience includes pets with anxiety, high energy puppies, senior care, and administering oral medication. I've been told I have a nurturing spirit animals are drawn to. They’re such important parts of our family units, and understanding and appreciating them comes naturally to me. It’s my top priority to be an excellent source of stability and comfort for them while their humans are away. I’ll also send tons of picture and video updates to ensure your peace of mind as well. Please reach out with any questions or requests. Thank you for reading and talk soon! Amanda & Wally I provide pet care full-time and will be sure to structure my out-of-home time away based on how long the pets can be alone for. I am highly attentive and in tune with wants and needs. I provide customized care based on them as individuals, so activity, meals/potty breaks, desire for affection, etc.

About: With over 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s second best friend while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide, my strong communication with pet parents, and my flexibility to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and energy levels. I work full-time as a pet sitter, so your pet’s well-being and routine are my top priority. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, large breed dogs, and high-energy pups that need extra playtime. I also offer overnight stays with discounted rates for multiple pets, and I’m happy to discuss custom bundles based on your needs—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates consistently, and treats your pets like family—I’d love to help. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—I’m a full-time sitter, so my schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I also block off time for overnight stays and am available on weekends and holidays with advance notice. Since this is my primary focus, I’m flexible and responsive, making it easy to accommodate custom routines or last-minute bookings when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping in for visits, I treat every space with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow all feeding, potty, and medication instructions closely, and always double-check doors, gates, and locks. I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort level and body language, especially when it comes to shy or energetic pets, and I adjust my approach to match what they need—whether it’s quiet company, active play, or just a little extra patience. For overnight stays, I create a peaceful and familiar atmosphere by keeping to your pet’s bedtime routine, favorite toys, and walking routes. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Really sweet young lady and my dogs love her. Punctual and very responsible. Would highly recommend.”
