“Lindsay was great! She gave us tips on where to find vegan food, where we could park our RV as we were going on a whale watching tour. She took Maddie for walks and sent us pictures. Maddie was very comfortable with Lindsay. Lindsay was always quick to answer when we had questions. We highly recommend her.”

“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”

Melissa L.

“Trish took great care of my dog when I in a pinch and needed daycare for my dog while visiting Old Orchard Beach. I had never left my dog with a stranger before so I was a bit apprehensive, but Trish took photos, showing my dog being relaxed, happy and well taken care of. She took all of my worries away, and I will certainly be reaching out to Trish again for my doggy daycare needs.”

“A very safe wonderful place for my pup for the day. Easy access to their place and an adorable clean neighborhood. Lots of pics and walks. Ideal situation for us. Rachael was wonderful.”

Kaitlyn V.

“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”

Mike F.

“Bri watched my pup on relatively short notice on a holiday weekend. She was very responsive, provided lots of updates and pictures, and overall took great care of my energetic girl, and we even went home with some homemade dog treats! I definitely recommend her!”

Jake W.

“Nicolette is the best! She treats my puppy like family. She is always well cared for and happy when I pick her up.”

About: About five years ago, I began fostering animals—mostly dogs—and quickly discovered how much I enjoy spending time with them. Since then, I've fostered dozens of dogs of various sizes and breeds. Each one has had their own unique and often hilarious personality. Fostering comes with its own set of challenges, especially building trust with an animal in a short amount of time. Over the years, I’ve done a considerable amount of training, as pets with basic obedience skills are more likely to be adopted. I work from home and understand how important—and sometimes difficult—it is to find someone reliable to care for your pet. I'm highly communicative, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is being cared for with the utmost attention and love. I live in a great suburban neighborhood that’s perfect for dog walks and playtime. I am a remote employee for a tech company and have a very flexible schedule. I work out of a clean room with a lovely patio off from it that overlooks the backyard. Because of my work schedule, I’m flexible to look after pets with differing needs, walk schedules etc. I don’t have any pets or young children in my home, so visiting or boarding pets get my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My top priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When pets stay with me, I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or administering any medications. I know how important consistency is, especially when they're in a new environment. If I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I treat the space with respect and follow all instructions carefully to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for the pet. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Jennifer watch my six-month-old golden retriever, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we met, Jennifer's warm and friendly demeanor put both me and my puppy at ease. She was incredibly attentive to all of my instructions and made sure to ask all the right questions about my puppy's routine and preferences. Jennifer has a natural way with dogs. My golden retriever, who can be quite a handful at times, was calm and happy when I returned. It was clear she had received plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. Jennifer also provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my puppy was in great hands. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”

About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.

About: Every dog has their own unique personality. I take great joy in getting to know every dog I meet and spend time with. They are not just pets they are our companions our best friends, our family. I have two dogs and two cats of my own so I understand how hard it can be to leave them and know that they will be well cared for. I look forward to helping to ease some of the stress involved with that. I have many years experience with special needs dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I would love to care for your pet in anyway I can. I have a pretty flexible schedule so reach out and find out if I am available, I will do the best I can to accommodate. I very mindful of your home and will leave things as is or as instructed. Our pets can sometimes have accidents and I will always clean up in anyway needed. I try and send you lots of photos of your pet(s) and provide updates. I am the first to reach out if there is anything of concern or in need or urgent attention. My goal is to leave your pet happy, healthy and ready for a nap by the end of my visit.
