About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!

“Nishat has been an amazing help to me with Jack. She’s responsible and trustworthy. I recommend her!!”

“Marlena is the best! My pittie and rottie love when she comes to pick them up for a walk. She treats them like family and brings them on great adventures. She is communicative, responsible and kind. Would trust her any day with my fur babies.”

Sarah W.

“Tiffany has done a great job with Madison! She is very responsive and checks in often. He looks forward to his walks and tlc time with her. Tiffany has been very flexible and patient with Madx especially since he has had a slight muscle injury and sometimes needs a modified walk. Would book again and again!”

“Simply the best! Thank you so much!”

“Jill gave my dog, Finn, an amazing day when I had to travel for work. I always hate to leave him for long stretches of time, but I didn't have to worry at all because Jill gave him walks, took him to the beach, and even kept him company! When I came back from my long day of traveling, Finn was happy and tired from having a great day. Grateful to Jill for taking such excellent care of him!”

About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve owned and pet-sitted both dogs and cats all my life. I currently have one kitty named Joni at home, but have lots of past experience with pups. I’ve cared for pets who take meds and tend to be on the anxious side. I’m excited to spend time with your best friend(s)! I work full-time, but have a fairly flexible schedule and can accommodate working from home and breaks to check in on your pet. I’m generally free on evenings and weekends, as well. I’ll follow your lead to make our time together the most safe and comfortable experience possible for your pet. Feel free to set up a meet-and-greet beforehand to go over any special instructions.

“Sarah is an excellent & reliable sitter for our yellow Lab. Our pup is crazy excited every time she sees Sarah and looks forward to her weekly walks”

About: My pet care experience began when I was a child. Grew up having dogs and other pets in the house. It was the norm for me. That is until college came about and then moved to a large city. Having a pet wasn't viable during those years. This pattern broke when I found myself being asked to house sit for friends that I was also being asked to hang out with their pets while they were gone. I soon began to be a go to person for a few close friends to babysit their pets and plants. The skills that I have with pets are being able to understand them with body language. Hence the nick name dog whisperer. I am currently working part time and have Wednesdays and Thursdays, including the weekend available. Any time of the day of those specifically are perfectly feasible to accommodate care from me. I follow the diet guidelines given to me and don't alter from it. Outside of that, I make sure they are treated with love and attention throughout my time with them. Walks, play time, relax time...it all has a moment through within the day.

About: I work at The Bark Yard, a fear and force free doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for dogs daily in a positive, stress-free environment. I’ve grown up with small to extremely large dogs—mainly Boston terriers and Great Pyrenees—and have hands-on experience with feeding, medication routines, enrichment, and reading canine body language. I also personally own and care for a cat, so I’m comfortable providing attentive, gentle care for both dogs and cats. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I work hands-on at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so caring for animals, following schedules, and reading behavior is second nature to me. At home, I care for my own cat with consistent feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and observation. Because pet care is built into my lifestyle—not something I squeeze in—I’m reliable, attentive, and able to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all written and verbal instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and household rules. I respect the pet’s space, read body language, and move at their comfort level—especially for shy or anxious pets. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and leave the home as I found it. My goal is for pets to feel calm, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: Whether taking care of my pets or my aunts or neighbors pets I always provide great care that includes giving the pet nothing but energy and attention Working part times so schedule is very open to different hours and asks, flexible in hours and really willing to work around the clients needs When taking care of clients pets in their home will follow all rules listed and showing nothing but respect for clients home and their belongings

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pups who require patience and gentle care. What sets me apart is my focus on making each dog feel safe, loved, and at home, whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to their exact routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and quick to notice changes in behavior or needs, which gives pet parents peace of mind. If your dog needs medication, extra exercise, or just a little extra snuggle time, I’m happy to provide it. Every dog has their own personality, and I love tailoring my care to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I am currently in medical school so my schedule is busy but with plenty of time free on the weekends! I have full days (8am-6pm) Monday and Friday, but only brief afternoon classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and would love to spend my non-class time with a pup! I am additionally free any time on weekends as my weekends mainly entail staying at home to study. I am currently unable to offer pet care in my apartment. I live in an apartment building that is not pet friendly. I am able to travel wherever is needed!

“Thank you! Baloo was so relaxed and happy when we got home, it was clear he had a great walk!”

About: I've taken care of dogs cats and other critters since I was a kid. I used to watch Molly the Collie, the neighbor's dog since I was a around 10. I have watched, walked, kept company during thunderstorms, fed pills, and played with many pets over the years. Often dogs and cats but I also have experience with parakeets and chickens and fish. Professionally I am an aquarist and I care for marine fish and invertebrates and freshwater species of fish and turtles. I have also cared, professionally for various reptiles and amphibians, including, but not limited to, a six foot long black rat snake named Edmund, an anxious king snake named Rex, an irritable baby alligator named Pickles and turtles of every shape size and age. I love animals and I want to treat your pet with the same respect and care they get from you! I'm currently working part-time, Sunday through Tuesday, 8:30-4:30, so I have a great deal of flexibility Wednesday-Friday to play with your pets while you are at work! I am excited to meet pets in their territory and maintain their routines and care. I am careful to learn and respect the norms at each new home so that I can give the best care possible to my critters and peace of mind to critter parents. I have a very small house with barely room for me so I am unable, typically to bring pets into my home, but am always willing to be flexible and accommodate in any way that I can.

About: Hi, I'm Mary! I have nearly 20 years of professional pet-sitting experience. I am very skilled at adapting to each pet's own personality and needs. I offer specialized care for pets with disabilities, elderly pets, and households with multiple pets! I also have experience administering medication. I have cared for dogs of all weights, breeds, and temperaments. Let's work together to figure out the best care for your pets! I love providing exceptional tailored pet-sitting services for all my clients! In 2024, I moved from Westchester, NY to Portland, ME! Before I moved, I had a list of nearly 50 pet-sitting and dog-walking clients. I worked with many families for over a decade! For some clients, I provided weekly care. For other clients, I would pet-sit for several weeks at a time while they traveled. I am flexible and willing to work with you to meet your needs! Are you disabled? I wear an N95 mask whenever I visit homes for dog-walking. I am happy to discuss other ways to make my services more accessible to you! My current schedule is very flexible! I have open availability, including weekends! In general, I am free every day of the week from 10:00am to 10:00pm. Before scheduling an appointment, I like to sit down with every new client to discuss each pet's routines, preferences, and medications. I also like to discuss any possible concerns! For example, do you take your dog on a specific walk every day? I want to maintain as much normalcy and consistency when caring for your pets!

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.
