Pet Sitters in Merepoint, ME

Matt & Jacquelyn

Matt & Jackie were wonderful sitters - really great with the dogs and the house & love to cook & made a delicious meal for my husband before they left. They are very responsible, easy going & caring - they are welcome back any time!

Kerry

Kerry turned out to be exactly the person I hoped would show up: cheerful, responsible, smart and appreciative of my (disobedient) Dachshunds. The house was in perfect order upon my return, and during my absence I was totally at ease and confident that the situation was in excellent hands. I can only hope Kerry would be willing to sign up for a repeat performance when the occasion presents itself.

Ciara

This was our second time having Ciara at our home with Ellie. We had such a great experience we wanted to bring her back. My favorite things about Ciara as a sitter is her quality care of Ellie, daily communication, and how self sufficient she is. She walked our dog almost daily and sent photos updating us on Ellie's activities each day. Ellie had a little bit of a health scare and Ciara stayed right on top of everything + maintained awesome communication throughout. We live on an island and if you have, you know island living isn't always the easiest. Ciara was comfortable with our home's quirks and didn't need hand holding during her stay. Would absolutely have her back in the future.

Gabrielle

Gabrielle was responsive, clean, and respectful house-sitter. She took care of our pitbull who was recovering from some injuries and on mediation and did a great job!

Catharine

Catharine was an awesome sitter. She was communicative, organized and Enzo loved her. Clearly he was is good hands. Hope she will come back and sit another time!

Carissa

Carissa was very responsive and my cat seemed significantly less stressed after staying with her than when I have someone come check on her while traveling. I would definitely have her come sit again! This was my first experience with homesitters and I learned a lot. I think I would have liked to hear from Carissa more during the sit but whenever I reached out I got a prompt response. My house was clean and my cat was happy - can't ask for more!

Laurie

This is the second time Laurie and her wonderful adult son flew from the East Coast to house and pet sit for us and we couldn't be happier...especially as they have truly turned into dear friends. We were away for our daughter's wedding (stressful!) and had NOT EVEN A TINY BIT of stress about our furry and feathered children or our home. Not only did our giant Labradoodles, Charlie & Harper, have the time of their lives...they were actually included in most of Laurie and Jamie's activities and got to go places even we haven't taken them. We returned to happy dogs, a blissed out cat, and contented chickens. Our property was tidy and fresh and Laurie and Jamie were in the highest spirits after having a wonderful week exploring and enjoying time together (with a herd of animals to accompany them). We are already forecasting their next visit! LOVE this platform!!! :)

Pasha

Had a great experience with Pasha. She took excellent care of our cats and home. The cats were relaxed and happy upon our return. House was well cared for and clean, even came home to cleaned sheets. Gardens were watered and thriving. I would not hesitate to have Pasha back and would highly recommend her to my closest friends!

Krista

Krista looked after my three very demanding cats for just over 2 weeks in the north of England in the winter of 2018. She arrived a couple of days before I left and so I was able to meet her and show her around and I knew immediately that my cats would be in excellent, caring hands! My 18 year old cat needs 2 sort of medication twice a day and Krista dealt with that superbly. She sent me almost daily emails while I was away with photos of the cats so I never had a moment's worry. While I was away, the UK was hit by terrible weather dubbed The Beast From The East, which also didn't seem to bother her at all. On my return, the house was spotless and the cats acted like they hadn't even noticed I had gone! I have told Krista she is welcome back any time and I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a responsible, caring sitter.

Alisia

We were extremely happy with the way Alisia not only took care of our house, leaving it clean and tidy, but also - more importantly - how well she treated our pets, our three dogs - Siog, Lugh and Einstein. When we returned after six weeks away, all ‘Three Musketeers’ were in great form, having been exercised every day (and cuddled when a cuddle was necessary). Sensitive to our concerns about their welfare in our absence, Alisia also sent us photographs and videos of them every day which eased our concerns immensely and helped make our holiday all the more enjoyable and worry-free. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alisia as house and pet- sitter as we have every confidence, thoughtful and sensitive as she is, that she would do as good a job for anyone as she did for us. Thank you Alisia.

Amanda

Amanda was a fantastic sitter, who cared wonderfully for my Lenny while I was out of town for the Christmas holiday. She followed the instructions to a tee, was always communicative with updates and pictures, and overall is a lovely, kind, and helpful person that felt easy to trust with my home and my boy. She handled a slight curveball with absolute grace—my Len forgot his manners and wasn’t terribly nice to her service dog, Wally, but she took it in stride and kept both pets happy and healthy. I’d absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone in need of a sitter, she left the place spotless and was a fantastic sitter!

Abigail

Abby was amazing! Animals were all very happy when I came home. She even did some cleaning for me which she definitely didn't have to do! This was a very short notice sit for 5 cats and a dog who needs medication. Can't say enough good things about Abby!

Zandi

We loved taking care of Lulu, Tula, Bubbles and Buddy. Beautiful home in Stellenbosh that is so comfortable and well-setup. We got to working quickly and easily the next day. Quick WiFi.

Good handover with good notes on what was needed. We loved walking Tula and Lulu around to all the parks. These two sweet doggies are absolute darlings, and so well mannered. Already miss them. Thank you so much for an excellent experience, we would love to be back in the future.

Many blessings to you both!

Nadine

I had the best time looking after Albert - he is the sweetest and most well-behaved boy! Nadine is also lovely and really easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend sitting for them!

Don

First of all I’d like to thank Penny and Don for their utmost patience and help in getting the mystery of my lost luggage solved! They welcomed me with open arms, and I spent a lovely day getting to know the two pups, their routines, and the workings of the house. Penny also prepared wonderful dinners before they left and after they returned from their trip…..we also enjoyed some tasty wine and fun conversations.
Churro and Piper were an absolute pleasure and joy to take care of. Piper is a real snuggle pup and Churro tries to do everything he can to please you. They were both well behaved and fun to walk in the many beautiful local parks. I quickly grew very fond of them both and will miss them.
Don and Pennys home is absolutely beautiful with the most extraordinarily breathtaking views I’ve ever seen.
My girlfriend joined me for the second half of the sit and we were able to explore some local sights and walk lots of great trails with the dogs. (Piper is a senior gal and although a feisty little Whestie, not able to do the much longer walks). And because the house was so comfortable and well appointed, we spent a lot of time just chilling out on the deck, soaking up the incredible ambiance.
Penny and Don… we feel very blessed to have been given the opportunity to meet you both, share some time together, and most of all take care of your sweet pups and home, and would return in a heartbeat if the opportunity arises down the road.
Cheers…..Lynette and Janyce

Seneca

What a wonderful sit!!! Moses and Leroy were absolutely amazing pups to take care of. Although Moses is a big strong dog, he is such a softy!! He is strong but we did not find him difficult to walk with using lots of commands which he was super responsive to. 
They are the sweetest and happiest pups!!! 
Lovely house in a great neighborhood with wonderful walks into the mountains from down the road!! 
Seneca is great with communication and we had a wonderful stay!
