“Thank you as always for taking such great care of my boys! The photos you capture of them are always hilarious and I know I can trust they are getting the very best care while I’m away 💕”



“As always, Rhea was absolutely incredible with our Clover! Leaving for a week or more is so hard knowing your pet has to stay behind but the assurance is someone as caring and attentive as Rhea makes it a lot easier. Not only does our cat have her food, water and litter taken care of, she gets plenty of love!”


About: Hello! My name is Amy, and I am a nursing student at USM! I have a deep devotion and love for all animals and I grew up with many different kinds; my favorites have always been dogs and cats! I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages in the workplace and in my personal life, even my dad’s police K-9 dog. To me animals are angels on earth and deserve a loving, caring, and compassionate atmosphere! Whether you are on a trip, at work, or in need of some extra help, you can count on me to keep your furry family member happy and safe! I am currently enrolled full-time in college, and I am looking for a flexible but beneficial job! On days that I do not have classes I am available to give all of my attention to your pets! I’ve always loved working with dogs and cats, and I love spending time with animals in my free time. I am a very aware and cautious person who will constantly advocate for your pets safety. It is always my top priority that your pet is having a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience! I am sensitive to the needs of animals and I will always do whatever it takes to keep them safe and happy!

About: Hi! I’m Sofey, and I work as a kennel technician in Scarborough, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities every day. I’ve spent my entire life around animals—volunteering at shelters, helping out with farm animals, and caring for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets, including guinea pigs, rabbits, and more. I’m experienced with walking, basic training, administering meds, and handling all kinds of temperaments. I live with my own sweet dog, Freddie, and two adorable guinea pigs, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pet is shy, playful, energetic, or just needs some extra love and patience, I’ve got them covered 💛 My schedule revolves around my job, which has no set days, but I work four 10-hour shifts a week, usually gone from about 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM including my commute. On my days off, I love focusing on caring for animals, whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or just spending quality time with them! I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my apartment due to a no pet policy, but I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home, stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs!

About: Professional Pet Snuggler, Dog Walker Extraordinaire, and Treat Giver Supreme 🐾 I’m a mom of two young wild and wonderful kids (three, if you count my husband 😄) and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve lived with pets so long, I’m basically fluent in meow, woof, and squeak. With over 5 years of dog-walking experience, I’m comfy with pups of all sizes — from pocket-sized pooches to gentle giants. I’m also totally cool with cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even horses. If it has fur (or whiskers), I’m in! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, your cat needs a snack and a snuggle, or your pet rat just wants someone to chat with — I’ve got you covered. I treat every animal like part of the family (and yes, I do talk to them like they’re tiny humans). Ready to bring joy, treats, and tummy rubs — can’t wait to meet your whiskered pal! As a stay-at-home mom, part-time admin, and dance instructor, I’m no stranger to juggling schedules — and I’ve got the flexibility to fit in pet care when you need it most. Whether it’s during the school year or the summer shuffle, I can usually make it work. Need a midday walk? A last-minute drop-in? A cuddle buddy for your cat while you’re away? I’ve got you covered! I don’t offer pet sleepovers at my place (our house is already a zoo!), but I’m more than happy to come to yours. Your pets will stay comfy in their own cozy corners while I handle the food, walks, belly rubs, and more. I'm super respectful of your home and always treat it like it’s my own. I’m also very mindful of home safety and security — you can count on me to treat your space with respect and care while you’re away.

“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”


About: I will love your pets as if they are my own! I also am comfortable with reptile and small animal care. Having a dog of my own i know all the best adventure spots surrounding Sanford. I will work hard to make sure you and your pet are comfortable with me. I am happy to do meet and greets to better get to know each other. I am very flexible so don't be afraid to ask anything about scheduling or special needs. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently available during the week for check-ins and walks. I will consider home stays depending on the circumstances. I do have flexibility around my full-time commitments. Safety and trust is of the utmost importance to me. When I am away from my pets I look forward to regular updates and pictures to make sure everything is going smoothly and I would provide the same level of care for my clients.

About: I have a deep affection for dogs from all walks of life, old, young, special needs you name it! I have been lucky to get to have 10 years of experience with many large breed high energy dogs. Whether your dog loves to snooze on the couch or play for hours on end, I will be there for their every need and wish! I currently work 4x10 hour days, and am fully available Thursdays, Saturday and Sundays. Schedule may be flexible for different days depending on the circumstance. I am usually available for last minute care requests as well! It's my primary goal to make sure your fur baby first and foremost feels safe and comfortable when I care for them. It can be stressful having someone new come into your space, so allowing time for slow introduction and bonding are very important. I want to be able to build trust and a loving bond with your pet, so both you and them know they're getting top quality care, love and affection from their new human friend.

“Thanks Faith! I appreciate the help very much :) my only feedback would be I’d love some more photos of all the cats each day along with a little more description on how they’re doing :)”


About: Who's a good dog? All of them. My step-dog is the love of my life, and I'm known as someone who talks to animals more than humans at a party. I've sat for a variety of dogs. I have additional experience with: Cats, fish, rodents, horses, chickens, other birds, reptiles, and more. As a former field biologist, I handled a wide variety of animals and completed Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) training. I'm open to caring for almost any critter. Send me a message so we can discuss what your critter needs. I'm currently booked for home sitting and have other employment obligations through August. My schedule opens up in the fall, and I'll update my availability and radius then. Now through early September, I'm only available for walks and check-ins within 10 miles of Alfred. I am currently not taking client's pets into my own home. I am open to a variety of conditions for home visits/walks/play dates/check-ins. Just send me a message so we can discuss your set up and what your critter needs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember dogs, cats even bunnies and guinea pigs, i love animals they are gentle and sweet and easy to talk to. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my little one year old so I am always available days nights or weekends whenever you need. If bringing your animals here I can provide bowls for food and water you can bring your own if you would like. It’s a pretty open concept house, we have locks on cabinets so your little fur balls can’t get in

About: The importance of your pet and their health are very important to me. As a dog owner I am educated and have personal experience with pets. My whole life I have always had a furry friend with me and could not imagine living without one. I am very patient and understanding of shy pets. My dog, Ruby, is a rescue from Georgia who was abused. When we first got her she was very timid and would get startled by any noise around her. Now that we have had her for 2 years she is like a whole different dog. With lots of love she has finally gotten to a point of safety and happiness to enjoy her environment without worry anymore. Hopefully my story helps with your decision!

About: My family has owned dogs my whole life, and I got my own puppy last summer! I have firsthand experience caring for dogs. I will take your dog out for walks, runs, and play with them. Knowing their favorite activities will help me to make sure they have the best time when I'm able to be with them! I am full of energy and love to share that with dogs. I have experience around Guiding Eyes dogs in training at college, and have learned some basic training skills with my own puppy as well. I have almost completely open availability, and am flexible about time! I am always open to learning new things about taking care of dogs. If your dog has any special accommodations required I am happy to work with you to provide the best care possible.

“Kaden visited my pup two times over the course of a weekend and kept me in the loop with pictures and frequent updates! We were very happy with our experience! Thanks again!”


“Stephanie rocks. She was friendly, responsive and thorough. She even brought homegrown catnip for our cats. When our previous sitter bailed just before Memorial Day weekend, Stephanie took over seamlessly.”


About: For since I can remember I used to walk around my neighborhood and go door to door asking to walk peoples dogs and I did it for free just so I could be with the animals bc at the time my parents would let me haha! And now I’ve been doing as a side job for a while I am currently working a part time job so I can be available anytime after 2pm on weekends and weekdays. Starting august 26 I will be doing school online so I will be completely free to spend time with both pups and cats! My pets And clients pets are always my first priority when it comes to taking care of them and making sure there safe because they are like kids
