Dog Sitting Cape Elizabeth

About: I have provided pet car for family, friends, neighbors and more since I was a teen. I love spending time with pets of all shapes and sizes and helping their owners too! I am spending one month in Portland while I am on break from medical school and hoping to find some work pet sitting! My schedule is open and flexible to work with all pets at a time that works for their owners :) I will strictly follow instructions for the care of your pets ensuring that they are both safe and happy upon the return of their owners.

“Shannon was great with all 3 of our furries! The pictures we received were much appreciated. We felt very at ease with her coming as drop in / out. Will be booking again!”

About: I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether they’re energetic puppies or sweet seniors. I’m experienced with things like sticking to training routines, giving medication, or just making sure your dog feels extra loved and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work three days a week—usually Wednesday, Thursday, and one weekend day—so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your dog the attention they deserve on my days off. In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have a sweet senior dog who is calm and loves lounging on the couch, so the environment is quiet and cozy. I make sure to provide a safe, comfortable space where pets can feel at ease. Whether it's in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and trust, keeping your dog’s routine and comfort in mind in everything I do.

About: I have 10 years of animal care experience! (Dogs, cats, and bunnies). I have 5 years of dog handling experience, pups that are big or small! I am beginning my journey to be a Veterinarian this fall at UMA 😊 I currently work part-time as I am attending school! But my passion is to spend most of my days with my puppy and cat at home. I am a reliable caretaker and have reliable transportation! I will be offering dog walks and pet sitting. I’m here to offer an extra hand and exceptional care for your four-legged friend

“Great communication and service!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life—from Cavapoos to Corgis to Wheaten Terriors to Doodles, to Boxers! I’ve also had the pleasure of having a Goldendoodle of my own as well! My sweet pup was in an accident and required lots of specific care such as wound care and medication administration for many months. I am a very patient and dedicated pet sitter and will treat your pet like my own. I’ll keep them safe, make sure they get the attention they need, and assure that you get the updates you crave while away from your bestie. I absolutely love animals and I also know how challenging it can be to have peace of mind while maintaining your life responsibilities outside of your furry friends—I hope to have the opportunity to take that stress off of your plate! I’m currently in grad school for Speech Language Pathology (classes are online until January 2027) and work per diem at the hospital. I have two shifts per week serving at a restaurant in Portland as well, they are typically 6-8 hour shifts so if booked for an overnight, there may be a day or two that I am away for that amount of time! Otherwise, my schedule is super flexible and perfect for that mid day potty and play break! Safety is first! You tell me how you like things to go in your home and what makes your pet the most comfortable and I’ll make sure it happens! Let me know if your pet has any anxieties in public and I’ll keep in mind ways to keep them happy and calm on walkies!

About: I’ve taken care of small, medium, and large dogs including low and high energy breeds. I grew up with labs and border collies, and have an understanding for providing love and care for dogs along with exercise and discipline. I will take care of your pet as if it were my own, and am adaptable to any specific needs your dog may have. I am a fire door inspector and repairman which takes up my week days, but guarantees my availability every Saturday and Sunday to provide fulltime care for pets. I live in an 800 sq/ft apartment with my cat Max that has a back porch and yard. It is able to accommodate 2 medium/small dogs or 1 large dog. My cat has lived with a large variety of dogs throughout her life and is calm and friendly towards them. Each dog under my care is treated with love and my absolute attention. Their Saftey and discipline will be ensured with positive reinforcement only. I am also willing and ready to travel to any clients home to care for your pets where they will be most comfortable.

“We recently moved to the area and had to find a new dog sitter which is always stressful. As soon as I met Silvia and saw our dog instantly fall in love with her, I was totally at ease and relieved. We feel so lucky to have found Silvia! She took great care of our dog Beau and was very easy to communicate with. We felt totally comfortable having her at our house and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future when we need help with our dog!”

“Accepted a last minute drop-in visit which was so nice of her. Stevie was so happy to have someone to feed her and play outside. So happy that I found Catherine!”

“Grateful for Rachael‘s availability! I was in a bind when my husband was out of town and I needed to go into the office. Rachel quickly agreed to come over to walk our Maizy girl. With the reunion the day before, Maizy recognized Rachael immediately, even though it had been three months!She greeted her with a happy smile and tail wags! Thanks again, Rachael for taking such good care of our girl!”

About: I have a dog of my own and have been dog sitting for friends for years. I’m not afraid to give meds and clean up messes. More than happy to help :) Unfortunately , I’m currently working part time Door Dashing and as a traveling hairstylist and need to make more money. I’ve definitely got time to help :) My dog gets a daily allergy pill in the morning before his 10min walk. I clean his ears once a week … unfortunately, he’s prone to ear infections so I have to keep a close eye on them.

About: I take myself out for walks anyway, dogs are just amazing company! I'm excited to get your dogs moving outside in a safe way that burns off some energy and allows exploration! I love being outdoors in any weather condition. Being away from home, I dearly miss my own dog, so spending quality time with some of the best creatures in the world is an amazing added bonus. I’m available weekdays before 11:30, and any time on weekends! I work in the afternoons, so my availability is before 11:30 and after 6 pm on weekdays. I’m happy to be flexible to suit your changing needs, especially if something comes up last minute that you need support with! I know it’s an act of extreme trust to have another person interact with your fur babies and I take that responsibility extremely seriously!! Whether in your home, my home, or just walking around the neighborhood, I promise to pay attention to, care for, and love your pets like they are my own!

About: I am a true animal lover. I’ve had dogs my whole life, but also lived with cats, medium dogs, even the largest dogs (I used to have a St. Bernard so I’ve seen it all.) I’m hoping to get some extra walkies in with new fur friends here and there. Or maybe check up on your fur baby while you’re at work or out of town. I treat all animals like my own and will respect them just like I do with my own sensitive girl. I have to give my dog her oral meds on a strict schedule every day and check her for side effects throughout the day, such as bruising, thirst, blood in the stool… I monitor her daily for all of this as well as giving her outside time every couple of hours to run, play ball or tug-of-war, and then end of day walkies. I definitely have her built into my every day routine. I plan my weeks around her appointments and pill times. My top most consideration is always what does my pet need and what do they expect of me for their unique day-to-day? Do they like to snuggle or do they want to run outside? I like to consider what the specific pet needs out of me and accommodate. My girl is very anxious and high energy so she needs lots of running time, but she also loves her night time cuddles before bed. I will care for pets the way they need me and that’s on their terms because they’re all different.

About: Thank you for checking out my rover profile! My name is Emma! I have a huge passion for animals and have experience working in doggy daycare! I love breeds of all sizes and shapes and use Pawsitive reinforcement training. I’m always very adaptable base on each individual animal. I’m always prepared for treats unless they’re provided. I look forward to meeting your pets and will treat them like they are my own. Please reaching out for additional information ! My schedule is flexible since I currently work part-time, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I’m available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 9am–3pm, as well as Friday afternoons. This schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care during visits or house sitting. I always do my best to work with each owner’s routine so their pet’s day stays as normal and comfortable as possible. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored just for them. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of encouragement to help pets feel safe, confident, and happy. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so I can adapt my care to what they need—whether that’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or maintaining training cues. I’m also happy to house sit in your home so your pet can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: I grew up with dogs, went to a school to study canine ethology and have a companion who is a high energy, blue heeler. I have always had a gift where animals respond well to me, treat animals with and have been known to like animals more than people. I own my own business so just send a request and we can make it just about any schedule work. Feel free to let me know what you need and we’ll make it work. An ACD owns me so we run often, but they are the type to respond well to positive reinforcement and leadership. Every dog is different, but most of the time patience and positivity wins out! #treats

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes from 10lbs to 100+ lbs, ages puppy to senior, all with various temperaments, energy levels and medical needs. I’ve also cared for many cats ranging from 2 years old to 13 years old I’m a middle school teacher on summer break with A LOT of availability. I regularly free weekdays during the day through the evening and even available at night and through the night most days of the week. I have a large fenced in yard with that’s mostly shaded by surrounding trees. With easy access from a back deck. We also have a screened in porch for good airflow on hotter days. I live in a nice and walkable neighborhood and I regularly visit local walking/hiking trails in the area.

About: In the past, I had a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix who was 100lbs. His name was Huckleberry. I loved taking him on walks, grooming/brushing him, and giving him lots of pets. My friends also hired me to take care of their dogs who ranged in different breeds and sizes. I also love taking pictures of all animals. You're sure to get some pretty pictures of your pooch! I am currently working part-time at The Maine Mall and have some free time to help out as much of the Portland dog loving community as possible. Dogs make me happy and feel good about what I do! I make sure your pet(s) are cared for by giving them plenty of water on walks, making sure they are not acting out of the norm (panting heavily/having heat exhaustion). I was working at a veterinary hospital in Chicagoland, so I feel confident at making sure your dog is well taken care of, kept hydrated, fed well, and that all the normal everyday tasks (peeing, pooping, breathing) are being well monitored. I will also send pictures/videos if I suspect something is not right/concerning. I hope to take care of your cute pooch soon!

About: Hi there! I grew up on a farm in Maine surrounded by animals, so caring for dogs (and just about every other kind of pet!) has always been a natural part of my life. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, I’ve had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. During my childhood, there was never a time when I didn't have at least three dogs in the house, so I know how to handle multiple pets and their unique personalities. Over the years, I’ve helped friends and family with dog walking, sitting, and general care, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet cuddles, or energetic playtime, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know Portland well and enjoy exploring its many dog-friendly parks and trails — perfect for keeping your pup active and entertained. I’m also looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love: spending time outdoors with amazing four-legged friends! I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and help make your life a little easier. I work as a fellow with a hybrid schedule, so my week has plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, and overnight stays. I’m always remote on Fridays, which makes long weekends easy for me to accommodate. I have two cats of my own that are not fond of sharing space with other animals, especially dogs. Therefore, I am currently unable to offer in-home boarding services.

“Maria was great! Very communicative and friendly with our dog Noodle. We look forward to inviting her to drop in again!”

About: Sincerely nothing has been more important in my life than animals. I’m very particular about the care of my dog jolene and my needy cat Marlow and because of that no little detail is too small! I would be honored to care for your babies in anyway you need me to. Thanks for reading! Certified in Canine Body Language & Communication By International Boarding & Pet Serivces Association I work two days a week and otherwise just do odd jobs and sewing. I’ll be traveling somewhat often with my husband Matthew but otherwise I’m home a lot! Talk to me! I have a fenced in side yard a dog friendly dog of my own and a dog friendly cat as well! They’ll have constant supervision of course inside and outside. My own dog is a little trouble maker and causes mischief all day so my house is fairly baby proofed and I understand not every dog is a chill dog!
