Hound + Hearth provides calm, relationship-based in-home care for sensitive, deeply attached pets who thrive on familiarity, routine, and gentle presence. I intentionally work slowly and on a small scale, focusing less on “pet sitting” and more on preserving the rhythm, cadence, and quiet feeling of home while you’re away. This is not high-volume, high-stimulation commercial-style care. It’s steady stewardship for animals — and homes — that feel safest with softness, predictability, patience, and a trusted human presence woven naturally into their day. I serve greater Bangor, Ellsworth and the surrounding Central and Downeast region.
