Top rated Cliff Island house sitters

“Maricela is so wonderful with our dogs! She is such a thoughtful house guest as well and was an excellent communicator about what she and the dogs were doing. We’ll definitely work with her again!”


“Jonas was very accommodating to our dogs needs. She was well cared for and we were kept well informed with lots of pictures of daily activities. They kept the house in great condition as well- even watered our many flower boxes and plants. Would definitely use Jonas again”


“Sergey was terrific! He came by to meet our dog before the pet sitting appointment and was very patient and caring. He was on time and dependable. If we visit Portland again we will definitely ask for him to pet sit our dog again.”



“Amy is always an incredible sitter. No matter what happens I know I can trust Amy to take very good care of my pet. Would highly recommend her to anyone seeking house sitting or dog walking services”


“Jeanelle took great care of our girl Gretchen while we were out of town for a few days. Very communicative with us and attentive to our pup. Highly recommend!”


“Craig and Chelsea did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our 3 energetic Vizslas! The communication and pictures were wonderful, it made it much easier being away from our pups. I highly recommend them!!!”


“Ayreal is a fantastic house sitter. Not only does she take great care of our young lab puppy, she also takes great care of our home for us. Cannot recommend her enough and will continue to use her in the future!”


“Viva was a wonderful choice for our stay in Portland. Our two Goldens loved their time together and she was a great communicator, trustworthy and sweet. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!!”


“Rachael was loved immediately by my pup! She helped me in a pinch last minute when I needed overnight care. She is kind, punctual, sent me updates & stayed in touch. It’s really nice to not have to reach out about your pet, and to already have updates and photos when you check your phone!!! Delilah and I look forward to working with you again. 😊”


“So thankful for Felicia! She truly is top notch and takes such good care of our sassy pup!! Our doggie is very selective to whom she likes and she loves Felicia ! That speaks for itself!!! 10000% recommend!”


“Madeleine was great! She communicated with me while I was gone about my dog and daily activities. She also left the house spotless and washed the sheets and towels. I will definitely use her again to watch my dog and house sit:)”


“Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.”

“My dog loves Nishat! She has such a calming energy and puts my nervous dog instantly at ease. Nishat came to the rescue when family emergencies left little time for making arrangements, and made sure Beesly was safe and happy while I was away. She sends lots of photo updates during her stay and really dotes on my dog. Beesly and I are so happy to have found Nishat!”


“Jamie was a fantastic sitter for my dog Oscar. She will be my go to from this point forward. She was communicative from the point of inquiry through until the end of the booking. She sent regular updates with photos and was happy to respond to any inquiries in between updates. She was respectful of our home and I came back to a well exercised and relaxed pup! It is difficult to trust someone with your animal but Jamie definitely has both mine and Oscars! We can't wait to use her services again!”


“Thank you, Lindsay! We could tell the dogs were in good hands from the first meet and greet, and that was confirmed with the daily updates and pictures where our fur babies looked so happy and relaxed. We really appreciate it. We have two dogs and a cat, all of whom would probably not do well in a boarding kennel situation while we are out of town. Lindsay seemed to tune into their energy and reservations right away and clearly has experience with dogs other than the perfectly behaved kind. She stayed at our house with them and communicated with us frequently so we knew how things were going. Lindsay left our place tidy and clean and we are so grateful to have found her! Thanks again, Lindsay!”


“Stephanie was very responsive to any questions, and best of all the animals were all very calm when we got home. They usually are overly excited when we return from a trip so this was a relief. We feel she did a great job of looking after our 2 cats and dog.”


“Saule was amazing with Arlo. She was sweet and caring. She sent me several photos which made me feel confident Arlo was in great hands. She made sure to ask questions before staying with little Arlo. I am looking forward to working with her again!”


About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature. I adopted my two cats at 18, and they’ve been with me through every chapter, college, a couple summers in Hawaii, and beyond. I grew up with a Boston Terrier and had a Great Pyrenees during college, both of whom I loved deeply and cared for daily. From energetic puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and gentleness, I’ve worked with pets of all ages and temperaments. I started pet sitting at 11, and my first real job at 13 was walking my neighbor’s Border Collies. Throughout high school, pet sitting and dog walking were how I earned money. I’ve continued to care for cats and dogs into adulthood, offering everything from walks and feedings to medication and companionship. I treat every pet like family and always show up with care, reliability, and genuine love. I’m a Pilates instructor here in Maine, so my schedule is super flexible. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks on most weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) as well as weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, medications, and giving pets the attention and structure they need. I’m respectful of your space and always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being.

Hope T.
“I can't recommend Hope enough as a pet caregiver! She’s looked after both my dog and cat during multiple trips, and every time, they’ve been in the best hands. Hope is incredibly reliable, she always shows up on time and follows instructions exactly. But what really stands out is how much she genuinely cares about the pets. She spends quality time with them, making sure they feel loved and comfortable. It’s clear that she has a true passion for animals, and that gives me peace of mind whenever I’m away. Hope is the kind of caregiver you can trust wholeheartedly.”
