“Craig and Chelsea were the most professional sitters we've worked with! They are extremely thorough and detail orientated and took great care of our two dogs!”
“Super reliable and had lots of amazing pictures of our animals. House was just as we left it. Updated us one how the animals were doing. Would recommend to anyone and will hire again.”
“We’re starting to think our dogs might like Jonas more than us 🤣. As always, our minds were at ease thanks to Jonas’ great care of our pups and frequent updates. We’re so lucky to have found you.”
“Stephanie did a great job with Luca, and they bonded after a day or two. She sent me pictures of him while I was gone, and even washed all the linens she used. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Avery takes such great care of my dog Bub and is a wonderful communicator and very reliable! Bub gets a bit nervous to be with a sitter, but always seems like he's had a very fun and relaxing time when I come home from a trip. Thanks so much for hanging with Bub, Avery!”
“Lauren treated our baby and our home as if they were her own! I didn’t worry while I was away- she sent pictures and updates regularly and let me know that Comet was in good hands. I feel so happy to know that we have a truly caring and trustworthy sitter who we can trust to watch our girl again in future!”
“Amy did an absolutely amazing job! My hubby and I left town for 3 weeks and we felt 100% comfortable knowing Amy was at our home. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better cat/house sitter! She went above and beyond. We were completely at ease knowing she was with our kitties. She sent us pics and vids regularly and was very responsive. Amy also took care of our houseplants, brought in our mail, and kept everything spic and span! We will definitely re-book with Amy. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Charlotte was so great to work with! She came and watched our two dogs and stayed at our apartment. She was so communicative and left the house the same as she left. We’ll definitely be working with her again in the future.”
“Ryan did a great job with our 2 dogs! He’s kind, was punctual, and had great communication! We have a puppy and adult dog and he managed both wonderfully! We’ll happily have him stay with our dogs the next time we need someone! Absolutely recommend Ryan!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have worked with all kinds of sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently volunteer with the ARLGP, and love the skills I learn every day from the dogs and other animals there. Whether your dog is the easiest to walk, or needs some special attention (and strength!), I am here to help! Your pets may come back with better manners than when they left :) I am a business owner, and am often home at my property in Topsham enjoying the sunshine or local trails with them. Despite my own travel, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible! We have a small portion of our yard that has a light fence, we usually just walk the dogs or take them to the nearby dog park. Our little guy is an ex-escape artist, so we are always double checking, paying attention, and increasing security on walks / outings! Safety is a huge priority!
“We could not ask for a better person to take care of our pups! Emily is so attentive to our dogs needs and takes amazing care of them and our home! We are extremely grateful for her!”
“We were so lucky to have Olivia watch our girl — she was incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely sweet. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and took such great care of our pup. I felt completely at ease the whole time — like I could truly trust her with anything. I honestly can’t wait to have her back again… just hoping she doesn’t get too popular, because we definitely want her back!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young, but just started pet sitting a couple years ago and have worked in the veterinarian field for 5 yrs now. You can also find me helping out in the kennel some days. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, usually 4 days a wk. I do work 10 hour days, but always make it a point to go back for a potty break at lunch when housesitting. I have a large, unfenced yard. I do have a tie out or can walk on leash. There are 2 cats in house, that are used to dogs being around. There is also a rabbit, but he is caged.
About: I’ve never not had a pet in my house hold, owning cats, dogs, and even lizards and hamsters over the years. Growing up I also pet sat for birds, snakes, dogs, cats, and fish as well as worked on a horse farm for two summers. My own personal dog is a senior lad at the age of 14 years and have a kitten at home. Ive worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pups, kitten and full grown cats. I love to spend time playing and petting them (if thats what they want) and will do my best to love them a fraction of what you do to keep them happy while you’re away! I work in Portland until 4pm every week day and get back to the area around 5. I would be free to care for your pets from around 5:30pm-6:20am. I can feed, walk, brush, pet, and/or play with any of the animals you may have tailoring to whatever best suits their needs, I am an animal lover and want to best support the critters in any way I can in your absence.
About: I am a flexible working professional. Most of my family members have either a dog or a cat that I have taken care of for as long as I can remember. I love all dogs no matter the size or breed. I am a previous collegiate student-athlete and am still very active, so playing with your pets and taking them for walks is right up my ally. I am happy to help with house sitting, dropping by, or taking them for a walk. I look forward to helping you out with your care needs for your pets and spending time with them. I am currently in the off-season of my full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. I will need to travel some weekends for work, but besides that I am flexible during the week and on weekends. My priority is to respect a client's home and provide the best care for their animals. I create an atmosphere built on trust and dependability.
“Many thanks to Toni for taking such excellent care of our pups! She was attentive to their needs and very careful with them, making sure to take into account their idiosyncracies! We felt very grateful that Toni spent the weekend with the "girls"! Thank you!”
“The best of the best! So thankful for Felicia and the car she gave to my pup while we were out of town! Lots of updates, professional and thoughtful!! Can’t recommend enough!”

Olivia was great with our dog and cat while we were away for a week. She was even willing to come a day early at the last minute due to a change in our plans. She sent plenty of pictures and kept open contact with us while we were away. I felt like our pets, and our house, were in good hands while Olivia was there. Besides being very personable and friendly with us, I think our dog Lily enjoyed Olivia even more. Would highly recommend and will be looking to use Olivias services in the future.

Molly thank you for taking good care of Teddy while we were away. I am sorry we did not get a chance to debrief with you upon returning. That said I would have liked to know about some of the things that went on in our home while we were away, for instance where there any pee or poop incidents inside the home either by our dog or yours and what is the nature of the stains left on our rugs and furniture. Just knowing that will help with the cleanup effort. If you can fill in the blanks there, that would be very helpful. Thank you.
