“Jamie was incredibly attentive and communication was fantastic during our time away. She took great care of our Clover and we would absolutely have her do it again!”
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: 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.
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!
“Rhea and Roman are fantastic! They got back with me promptly and were happy to help me out with last minute pet care. Roman did great medicating one of my kitties, and both Rhea and Roman went above and beyond to ensure my girls had everything they needed. I will without a doubt contact them with any future cat care needs!”
“Meira is always professional, reliable, and takes great care of our two tabby’s! We always hope Meira is available when we are on a trip. Thanks again Meira!”
“Ashley is super professional and Ranger loves her week day visits ! We are fortunate to have such quality care.”
“Taylor was wonderful, easy to communicate with, and left a great recap of her time with Biscuit, as well as plenty of pictures! Will plan to work with her again!”
“Kelsey took great care of our kitties! One of them is on meds and she was able to administer her pill. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. The kitties were in good hands!”
“Melissa always does such a great job spoiling our pup! She’s thorough and makes sure he has all his needs met and then some! He loves her visits!”
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 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 taken care of a variety of pets my entire life, ranging from cats, dogs, rabbits and other small rodents. I have an open spare room which I use for separate housing if needed for case by case bases. I have three cats and a dog of my own that are spoiled beyond measure but the spare room comes in handy for new friends to be separated. I have worked as a waitress for the last 5 years but after suffering a shoulder injury I am currently looking for opportunities to work from home. I am currently only working one day or two out of the week, meaning I have just about complete open availability. I do my best to provide a safe environment for all of the pets I chose to bring into my home. I do have camera set up in each of my hall ways and living room where I can watch what my pets are doing while I am awhile. There are few times, if any, when I am not one on one with the animal during their time staying with me unless they personally prefer space but I try and keep an eye or camera on them at all times. Plenty of appropriate toys and treats will be provided. There is a closed off spare room provided for pets that need to be kept separate, as needed case by case. I have a medium sized yard that is not fenced in. For dog cases where appropriate I will bring pet to dog park that is close by. Mainly will be walked on leash on side streets and around the yard. Your pet will be treated as one of my own. I do want to mention 2 flights of stairs are required to get in to the building so while I’ll do my best to accommodate all animals, ones who struggle with stairs and need frequent yard time need to know.
“Faith was absolutely wonderful to work with. She communicated well, was friendly and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs! Thank you again!”
About: I recently had to say goodbye to my 8 year old black lab due to cancer. I am looking to spend some time helping others with their pet care. As a pet owner I understand how stressful time away can be due to missing your animal. Let me make your work day, work trip or vacation a little easier. I work full-time from home so I have flexibility to pet sit in your home, be available for walks or potty breaks, etc. During my free weekends I am available to stay with your pet. I am able to care for your pets in your home to make them feel safe and comfortable. This helps to avoid transportation or any settling in period.
“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: 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: I’ve had cats my whole life and a little yorkie who is now with my mom. My goal is to help provide a safe and calm environment for your fur babies and give you a peace of mind that they are being given the best service possible. I work overnights so I have availability in the mornings 7:30AM-11AM on weekdays work best for me. With notice I may be able to make an exception. Let me know what your pets needs are and I will do everything I can to make them not only comfortable but feel safe with every visit.
