Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Deering Center, Portland, ME

“Julia was great. Responded immediately, on time for each visit and communication was perfect. Highly recommend. Our special girl Bridget would also give five paw stars.”

“Julia is as such a wonderful cat sitter! We were so grateful to receive her updates while we were traveling for the holidays and would gladly hire her again.”

“So sweet and understanding when I miscommunicated instructions to her about accessing my place. She waited around to hear back from me about where the key was- which she had no obligation to do. She played with my kitty and sent lots of photos, which was a big comfort to me as I always worry about him when I’m away. She’s great and very sweet :)”

“Katey provided great care for our cat while we were away for the holidays. She cuddled and played with him to his heart’s content. She was on time every day and sent many pictures and updates to ease our minds. Definitely recommend!”

“Cassie was patient and understanding with my dog that has anxiety and is nervous around new people! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again soon!”

“Thank you so much! Really was a huge help. I will reach out in the future for any other drop ins needed!”

“Jackie is our #1 sitter! This was our first time using Rover and Jackie made us big fans! Buddy absolutely loved her, and it put my mind at ease knowing he was safe! She even went above and beyond and came to take care of him when the roads were icy. We recommend her to everyone!”

“Julia looked after my cat, Bastet aka Bas, for 3 weeks. It was the first time I had left Bas alone so wasn't sure how she would respond. Julia did an excellent job. Bas was shy at first and would hide, but Julia was patient, after a couple of visits Bas not only stopped hiding but trusted Julia enough to show her belly. That photo told me I had nothing to worry about. My apartment was neat when I returned and she even watered my plants. Thanks, Julia. Highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to sit with Bas again.”

“Very responsive. An obvious dog lover. I’m excited to rebook Jennifer.”

About: I have worked at my local humane society, dog sat and walked dogs in the past. I also had my own pup that I cared for until this January, when he passed away of old age. I love dogs with all my heart and have had my fair share of experience with them in terms of handling, socializing and walking them. I love to run so I am open to running/ playing with dogs who need an extra energy release. As I work full time, I am available on the weekends or in the evenings during the work week to walk dogs. I am flexible with certain weekdays however. I always keep pups on a leash and am cautious of interactions with other dogs/pets. I stay in let-safe areas and stop periodically for water and treats.

“Rose watched my senior cat while I was away for a few days, she was great! Professional, timely and each visit sent a few pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible sitter.”

“Lizzy was great! She took good care of my pet. She sent an update and photos every day ❤️”

“Josie was super sweet and did a great job with my two cats! She asked questions to better take care of them and was even kind enough to take in the mail for me when I was away for an extended period of time. Will definitely book her again!”

“Harrison was great. He took amazing care of our little fur babies. Will use him again.”

“Maggie speaks cat and dog and recognizes and celebrates the bond you share with all your four legged family members. She is a professional, a consummate pet provider, on time, responsible and a good communicator. If following the family's directions, providing loving companionship and exercise and a peaceful heart and active or slow motion time in nature is who and what you want for your beloved pet(s), then you could not make a better selection than Maggie.”

“Melissa is fantastic! She is very responsive, professional, and caring. I have been trusting her with my kitty Lucy for several months now and always know she is in great hands!”

“Seth is fantastic! So kind and reliable, my kitties warmed up to him right away. Everyone is looking forward to his next visit - thanks Seth!”

“Nicole continues to be incredible. While we were gone our home lost power and she helped ensure that our cat was warm and well cared for. It was hard not being here to care for our pet but we felt much more comfortable knowing she was in Nicole’s hands. So grateful for Nicole!!”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats & dogs for my friends & family for several years, and have my own 9 month old Aussie mix pup, named Fran! I currently have a very flexible schedule, and am available Mondays, weekends, and early mornings / evenings throughout the week. Starting in late May, I will be available any time throughout the day Mon-Fri! :) I am organized & very neat, and I have a 9 month old very calm, gentle & friendly Aussie mix who can play & keep your pets company—only if you & your pup are comfortable with that, of course!

“Haley Jo was fantastic! We felt very comfortable with her when she came to do the meet & greet and our first impression was spot on. We are so fortunate to have found her. Luna (our cat) liked her right away. We got great pictures after every visit and a detailed report about the visit. I would definitely recommend Haley Jo, and will definitely have her watch Luna again!”
