House Sitting in Bowdoin

When my husband insisted we go away for an extended European holiday, my primary concern had been animal care as we have never left them for so long. We feel so fortunate to have found and booked with Craig & Chelsea. Craig's affinity for animal care was paramount through every step of the booking. He took great care to acquire background information on our animals in order to have a successful meet and greet. And he was happy to accommodate and book a couple of info/walk sessions before our trip to help acclimate him to our home, trails, and allow our dogs and cat to become familiar with him. Craig was communicative throughout our trip, and shared the right amount and interval of photos and anecdotes to keep us in the loop. In fact, one of the photos shared is now my phone background, Craig managed to capture their personalities better than we ever have with a lens. Upon return we're so happy to be back with our animal family and find our home also well cared for. We spoke with a neighbor on our first dog walk back, who complimented the demeanor the dogs had with Craig (more calm than with us) and how well cared for they were. They also even noted that Craig discovered a struggling Cardinal that he tried to medically assist the poor bird for 20 minutes the other day. A true heart of gold. It's clear that this is a calling for Craig and Chelsea and we couldn't be more grateful for the peace of mind we had while so far away. We hope they found some joy here in our neck of the woods and that we get the chance to secure their services again.

Kourtney is amazing! I have a 9 yo with a lot of anxiety. She sent me photos throughout my trip, and my dog was so relaxed. I am so grateful for her presence and help to allow my fur babies to stay home and be happy. She is so great with dogs. I highly recommend!!

She is amazing with our animals. This is the second time we have used her and will probably reach out again the next time we need an overnight sitter. She always makes sure to tell us house the night went and sends us amazing pictures of the animals.

Lena did a great job watching our fur baby. She kept us updated the entire time and responds back in a timely manner. We knew our pup was in good hands and had nothing to worry about. Would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Lena!

Lauren took great care of my older puppy with separation anxiety on a holiday weekend! He was in good hands while I went away for the evening. Would be happy to have her house sit again.

I’m overwhelmingly pleased with the care Atlas took with our dogs while we were away. She responds quickly to messages and is proactive in sharing information and asking questions. And she was pleasant to interact with! I would ask her to watch our dogs again in a heartbeat!

We chose Avery because our dog is fearful of men and we wanted him to get used to being around men more. Avery won our Travis over. He patiently waited for Travis to get used to his presence. He took him on walks which Travis loves. We would definitely use Avery again. Thanks Avery for keeping our Travis while we explored the area.

Olivia is truly great! Good communication and a pleasure to work with. Will def hire again

Charlotte was amazing with our animals. We have 2 kitties with seizures that required medication and we left them in such good hands. She was responsive and kept us updated on things at home. Definitely will call her again to housesit and stay with our animals.

The best pet sitter there is! We are forever thankful for Felicia she takes the best care of our pup and our house ! Couldn’t recommend more !

Amanda is a dog whisperer!! She cared for our two rescues and our kitty and they loved her!! Her communication is stellar and we did not worry about our fur children once while we were away! Highly recommend!! Will definitely be asking her again.

Sarah was amazing! Watched our pups two weekends in a row and they loved her. One of our pups is very skittish to new people and she had him cuddling with her in no time. Thank you so much, will request her again!

Ievet is wonderful! She took care of our 4 month-old puppy and 9 year-old cat for 8 days. She kept us informed of all that was going on at home, sending us many pictures and videos. The puppy is still learning and working on house training, but Ievet was so patient and he had learned a great deal more when we arrived home. Ievet is honest, reliable, and trustworthy, and we have already booked her again! Her communication while we were away was wonderful! She even cleaned our house before we arrived back home, which was a beautiful surprise! I highly recommend Ievet to take care of your pets. They will be happy and well-cared for when you arrive home!

Taryn is such a pro — she knows how to handle dogs AND their owners. We felt very comfortable being away knowing that she was so capable and communicative. A+++ ear scratcher, also. (For dogs, not people. Cannot confirm for people.)
