House Sitting in Downtown, Portland, ME

“We had a great experience with Destiny. She looked after our reactive and anxious pup (and our home) for long weekend with minimal orientation or prep, and they formed an amazing bond. Our neighborhood is not easy for dog walking! Destiny was extremely diligent with our dog's daily schedule, needs/wants, med administration, and separation anxiety. It is clear how seriously she takes her responsibilities. Our home was very clean upon our return. We will definitely reach out to Destiny again the next time we need to leave town without our pup.”

“Jackiellen has been perfect for us every step of the way! She's an excellent communicator, flexible and accommodating, kind and considerate. She made the whole process super easy and worry-free. And maybe most importantly, she has a very natural connection with our dog and cat, from the first moments they met. We felt super confident leaving our animals in her care and will absolutely call her again. She asked good questions to be sure she was clear on everything needed. She took great photos and sent just the right amount of updates while we were away. She took great care of our home, leaving it even neater than she found it. Honestly, I can't recommend Jackiellen enough.”

“Sydney was absolutely wonderful and took great care of my pup. I was so grateful to find her on short notice, and really appreciate she made time to come by for a quick meet and greet before my trip. She kept me updated on how my pup was doing, and I came home to a happy, snoozy dog. I hope I’ll have a chance to work with Sydney again!”

“Ayreal was thorough, attentive, communicated at every step and kept in touch throughout the whole process. She sent photos and updates and made sure all our fur babies were well taken care of. She was very patient with our female cat who is usually the less social one and also took great care of our house and plants as well! We would definitely work with Ayreal again, a trustworthy sitter all around.”

“We booked Bryan last minute for dog sitting. He was SUPER responsive and booked a meet and greet right away. He was timely, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and took great care of our dogs and our house. We loved the pupdates and really appreciated the communication. We adored working with Bryan and highly, highly recommend him!”

“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.”

“Laura was amazing with our pups and took great care of our home. She regularly checked in to give updates and the girls really enjoyed their time with her. Highly recommended!”

“Jackie made a wonderful connection to our kitty at our initial meet greet, and they seemed to have a wonderful time together. She sent photos of their snuggles, playtimes and outdoor adventures. We arrived back from our trip to a clean, tidy house and a contented cat.”

“We are so happy we found Viva! Viva quickly evidenced attentiveness, experience working with dogs with needs, and overall care and enthusiasm for our dogs. Viva was punctual, easy to communicate with, and proactively shared photos throughout. Thank you, Viva!”

“William was an awesome house sitter for us! He was a great communicator, very friendly, and most importantly, our dog had a great time with him! We would definitely use him again!”

“Taylor was responsive in advance of our trip, and gave us great updates each day while we were gone. Our dog is often anxious when we go away, and it seems like he warmed right up to Taylor. She left our house spotless, too. We are already planning to have her come back again soon!”

“Joshua was a great house and pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive. We were able to travel with confidence knowing our two dogs were in good hands. He also went above and beyond with our home; we came home to a very clean space. Thank you, Joshua!”

“Celine loves animals! She is reliable, friendly, detail oriented, organized, and will always make sure your furry friend is well cared for. I have trusted her with my animals many times and I could never tell who was happier my pets or Celine. She’s excellent!”

“Elizabeth house/dog sat for us on short notice due to a family emergency. It was her usual outstanding service with a clean house and happy dog! She even endured the March '17 blizzard without complaint. I am so grateful for her help.”

“Katey was our Pet Sitter for a few years and did such a phenomenal job taking care of our cats, loving them, and playing with them. She was reliable and trustworthy. She was also there when one of our fur babies passed away, and we were out of town. She stayed in touch with us and gave our fur baby the love that she deserved when we couldn’t be there. We always felt comfortable leaving our cats with her, knowing they would be in the best of care!”

“Heidi is a dog whisperer. She has been best friends with our first dog, Copper. He was a Vizsla who needed a LOT of exercise. Heidi did not disappoint! We were happy Heidi is still around to walk Murphy, our golden doodle. She is very responsible and very active. Our dogs come home happy AND exhausted, no matter the weather. She has cared for our dog when we go away for days at a time. She has a lot of common sense and life skills so I don't worry if we leave in the winter. She's got it. I would not hesitate to have her care for your animals.”

“Ruby is a wonderfully responsible dog walker/animal care taker. She engages with animals very well and understands the responsibility associated with caring for a dog or another animal. She is kind, warm, energetic, and I’m sure those qualities and more would translate over to her dog walking abilities. She is loving and caring and any dog would be lucky to have her as a dog walker!”

“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.”

“Kelsie is great with our mini poodle Murphy. I know she takes great care of Murphy both when I have a super long day and he just needs to be fed and let out, as well as when we leave town for a few days and she stays at our house with him so he feels comfortable. I treat my dog like a family member and Kelsie does the same when she’s with Murphy. I recommend her as dog caregiver and trust her caring for my dog completely.”

“Leah did a wonderful job watching our two older dogs, one of whom is on daily medication and doesn’t get around well anymore. She communicated with us over the long weekend and took great care of them and our house.”
