Pet Sitting in Waterville

“Erin was awesome! My cats were well taken care of, fed, watered, played with and litters were cleaned. MY shy Sophie girl usually hides from everyone, and she took the time to find her and sent me a pic to show me she was okay. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of all ranges of pets, from dogs to cats to fish to reptiles. Everyone is just as important as the other. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 12 years old and have been professionally been taking care of them for 8 years. What ever are your pet needs I’ll be sure to meet them at the best of my ability. I currently work full time at inland hospital Monday through Friday but all my free time outside of that can be devoted to taking care of your pet I’m a mom to 3 very spoiled cats and 1 dog. All of which translates over to your animal as well. All animals under my care will be treated as if they were my own

“Madelyn was great! She made sure my pups were well taken care of and sent lots of pics and videos. She even went above and beyond during inclement weather to make sure they were safe! We will totally be utilizing her services in the future.”

“Carla provided exceptional care for our cat during our 2-week trip. Communication was excellent and the daily photos of our cat assured us that all was well. Our cat is very emotionally expressive and she looked 100% happy to be in Carla's lap. We will definitely hire Carla again the next time we need a sitter.”

“Sarah was simply amazing!!! I can't say enough good things about her. She truly cared for our two kitties while we were away as if they were her own. It's so freeing to feel able to travel again knowing we have such a caring, reliable sitter. Will absolutely use Sarah's services again!”

About: Since becoming fully remote for my full time job in 2020, I have taken on the roll of “trusted pet-sitter” for over 30 families and almost 50 furry friends. Back home in Maryland, I connected with these families just through word-of-mouth and referrals from happy families. Now that I live here in Maine, I would like to continue my expertise and passion for animals, and connect with some loveable furry friends. I am an attentive, detail-oriented pet-sitter, who also knows the importance of respecting another person’s living space and maintaining routines for pets. After years of taking care of every size, shape and age of dog, no request from the owner is too wacky. From complicated medication directions to particular night time routines, I know your pet is part of your family and deserves to go about life as usual, despite mom/dad not being home. Reach out, I would love to connect! I work full-time fully remote! So while I will need WiFi and a desk to type on my laptop while I watch your pet, there is always time for walks, snuggles and whatever else your pet needs. My goal when I pet sit is to keep the pet in its normal environment and routine as much as possible. I am always very clean and respectful of any house I pet sit in.

About: I’m an experienced and caring animal lover who is comfortable with pets of all ages and types. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, as well as cats and small caged animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or gentle care for older pets, I treat every animal like part of the family. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy being around animals. I structure my schedule so I can provide reliable visits, walks, and plenty of attention for every pet in my care. I’m flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that’s energetic playtime, a relaxing walk, or gentle care for older pets. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I have two trained dogs that stay in our yard and run free. I have had pets who need to be leashed every time they go out so it’s no trouble at all if that’s the case. I also have experience with crate training and kenneling when leaving the home.

About: I love being outdoors and exploring, so I would be happy to take your best friend wherever their heart desires. I have always grown up with pets, and I currently have two pups, Kona and Angie. Safety and following owner's requests are always my number one priority, followed by fun! My availability fluctuates some on the weekends, but I currently own my own business and attend college online making my schedule very flexible and accommodating during the weekdays. Ensuring safety and trust for your pets is top priority. In my home we take measures to create hazard-free spaces. Outside of my home, adapting to your pets environment is their top need, and my main focus. No doubt, your pet will receive the dedicated love and care they deserve.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I know the importance of feeling confidence in your pet’s care while you are away – for the day or for weeks. I grew up with German Shepards, Labrador Retrievers, Weimaraners, and of course your traditional mutts. I’m comfortable with medium and large breeds with varying degrees of energy and structure needs. In adulthood I’ve dedicated myself to seniors and pups with special needs. My current pack is all neutered males - Riley (12), Vinnie (17), Gilroy (4, Cerebellar Aplasia), and Louie (4, Blind). Everyone in the pack is dog friendly and more importantly I know them well and how to navigate introducing new members. Pack management is a critical and advantageous skill I live in a single family detached home with a large fenced in yard. The dogs are allowed on the furniture. I have extra crates, cots, dog beds, and toys. With a traditional cape style, I can also keep pack members separate if needed, especially at mealtime to keep everyone safe. My home and I have been approved by three different reputable rescues in the last 3 years. I have established relationships with not only my local vet, Dirigo, but also specialists at Maine Veterinary Medical Center. I have experience with high needs behavioral and physical pups. Though I do not think taking in an aggressive dog into the pack for sitting is a good idea, I am comfortable and understand dogs with anxiety that might need some extra time or care. I have experience with dogs paralyzed in the back end, cerebellar hypoplasia (wobbly), cerebellar aplasia (no balance), hydrocephalus, blindness, senior needs, puppy needs and training. In the last year my pack has included three more pups (may two rest in peace, and one continue to live his best life with his forever mom) and so I open my home to boarding knowing that my current boys are already okay with new members. If you have any questions please reach out! I work from home five days a week. I work from home full-time and can navigate my schedule most days by the needs of the pack. Without a doubt they can go outside whenever they need. At most during the week I could leave the house from 1-3 hours. I will sometimes need to leave the house for 2-6 hours at a time especially on weekends, but can arrange any accommodation that makes your pup comfortable – free, crate, room etc. All dogs are allowed on the couch and my bed, though not all will sleep on the bed at night. I make sure to have a dog bed available for each pup in the house and have crate options too if individual space makes your pup feel more comfortable. The house is set up so that all living is on the first floor, so there are only two stairs into the home and two stairs off of the deck. During the warmer months I have a dog door for free access to the fenced in yard. However, in the winter months I maintain taking the dogs out at regular intervals. All dogs will be fed safely alone so no issues are allowed to develop. All stairs inside are blocked off either by baby gate or doors (for my blind boy). Pack management is key to safety and with lots of experience I know I can navigate it well.

“Kelly is the best!! The care she provided for our pets while we were away for an extended amount of time was top notch. We couldn't ask for a better pet caretaker! She was on task 100% of the time, She truly loves our pets and treated them as if they were her own. We can't thank her enough and hope to use her many more times in the future.”

“Sadie was really sweet! My dog Copper has terrible separation anxiety which intensified during covid. This can be really challenging and difficult to leave him on his own. Sadie really saved the day and Copper immediately loved her. I was also concerned about safety due to Covid, but she was incredibly knowledgeable and safe. I’m so grateful I was able to connect with Sadie and will definitely be asking her to return. Thank you Sadie!”

I’m consistently available for evening drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship before settling in for the night. On weekends, I have even more flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits, extended care, or last-minute bookings. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I build my schedule around giving them the time, consistency, and care they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and the service requested, whether I’m in my home or yours. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your space while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll receive lots of supervision, love, and attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to relax, consistent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive to details and experienced in administering medications if needed, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Melissa struck me as a mature, articulate, cheerful, and responsible adult. She did a wonderful job dropping in and taking care of my kitties and my home for 4 days. She also would’ve been available an extra day had my travel plans gone awry. Her communications and photos were timely and thorough. This trip was during a time of below zero temperatures outside, so it was nice to not worry about home/heat/freeze issues. My cats seem to have enjoyed her too. Thank you!”

“It can be difficult to leave pets at home while away on vacation, but this time around I had a lot less anxiety about it and knew that my cats would be well taken care of because of Kayla. She is so kind and caring! Magpie and Zephyr (my cats) warmed up to her quickly. She sent photo and text updates to let me know that the cats were doing well! And after coming home, the cats are very happy and not stressed at all. Thanks Kayla!”

“April was very attentive, open, and communicative while I was away visiting family. I will definitely rebook her to care for my senior kitty.”
