“Yiran was so great with our two cats! Especially with our shy cat who takes awhile to feel comfortable with new people. Yiran is communicative, kind, and responsive! I felt like my cats were in great hands while I left to go camping.”

“Julia was a great help while I was away. She responded quickly and provided great care to my cat. Her update left me feeling relieved that my cat was well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”

Mallory M.

“Priscilla is amazing! She took such good care of my two kitties, and my shy boy even cuddled with her. She followed guidance to the letter, and her updates and photos were always thorough and lovely. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I swear Emmy was Misty's mom in her past life - that is how much she loves her and is comfortable around her- which as an owner, is the best feeling. Emmy has watched Misty for 3 long trips (7+days) and a few other nights and we are always at ease during our time away because of her. She sends pictures, gives us updates if we ask, is comfortable taking her both on and off leash, has given her medications when required, and has had play dates with other friends & dogs, too. Our dog is so comfortable with her that she's always snuggled up to her and even perks up when we say Emmy is coming. Emmy is always our go-to when she is available !”

“Madison was very communicative leading up to and during our trip. We came home to happy, relaxed animals. This was our first time using Madison's services after our former pet care specialist moved out of state. We are very pleased and highly recommend Madison.”

Jesse C.

“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.”

“Rika did an amazing & very thorough job with my two kitties!! - she had no problem navigating a very shy kitty (with strangers), giving medication, and tolerating a very precise & anxious owner (my cat care instructions are embarrassingly long 😳). Will definitely reach out to Rika again for further assistance 🙏🐱🐱❤️”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m attentive, patient, and prioritize safety, routine, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. As a med student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my classes around pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week. I follow all care instructions carefully and prioritize safety in both my home and clients’ homes. I’m respectful, attentive, and ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

“Jake did a good job taking care of my girls. He was very diligent in asking questions about their care and they were in good hands.”

About: I love animals and have been caring for them for since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, ducks, and chickens. On my own, I’ve had a dog and I currently have two bunnies at home. They’re the most silly little creatures. Other experiences I’ve had include pet sitting for friends and volunteering as a dog walker at the Animal Welfare Society. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Great Pyrenees to chihuahuas and I loved them all. I’m a very calm, friendly, and responsible person. Animals feel very comfortable around me. A little more about me - I’m a teacher. I moved to Maine about 4 years ago and I love it here. I love being outside and exploring coastal trails. Hiking is one of my favorite activities. I’d love to care for your pets while you’re away. I miss having dogs and cats and I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets as though they were my own. I currently work full time as a teacher. Outside of my regular Monday to Friday work schedule, I’m happy to care for your pet’s and accommodate your pets schedule. I’m not able to care for any pets in my home, but I’m happy to house sit or do drop in visits for you. I’m responsible, respectful, caring, and organized. I’ll take care of your pets and your space as if it (and they) were my own.

“Hannah was such a sweet babysitter for our cats. She was on time to do a meet and greet the week before, and let us add on extra days to accommodate our travel. She took lots of pictures of our cats and seemed like she played with them a bit during her visits. I highly recommend her service and will book with her again!”

About: I enjoy being outdoors and exercising, so adding a dog makes it that much better! My favorite activity is finding new parks in Portland, so adding your pet is a perk! Exercise and care are the most important aspects of pet care. I am currently not able to have my own dog, so this is an excellent outlet for me to destress and make some money. Also, prior to college, I owned a dog for 7 years and still dog-sit occasionally for friends. Housesitting is one of my favorite ways to hang with your pets. I also love drop-ins and regular walks! I am flexible and available. Dog or cat, I already love your pets! I work downtown and often work from home. Regardless of my daily location, this gives me opportunities to get out throughout my work day and after while also making some money. I am always happy to provide most requested details from pet parents. I will always be attentive to your requests as well as the needs of your pets.

“Viva is so attentive and dedicated to our dog when she comes to walk her! We always get the best photos and reports back from Viva after her visits. She asks about our training goals to keep things consistent for our dog! Highly recommend!”

“Marna was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was very reliable and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing vacation and our pet was well cared for! I would highly recommend her! :)”

“I’m so happy that Stacey was there to check-in on my cat over a holiday weekend. She responded right away to my initial inquiry and had great communication while I was away. It was such a comfort to know she was taking good care of my pet - will be using her services again, and highly recommend Stacey to anyone!”

Beth H.

“Saras is fantastic!- accepted my request at the last minute on a holiday weekend & was super responsive & timely! Will certainly ask for her help with my kitties again!! 🙏”

Ida R.

“Can’t say enough about Jackie! We feel very lucky to have her take care of our fur baby! He is an anxious sweet boy who needs someone to be understanding and patient. Jackie was all those and more! She is very profesional, attentive and an overall nice person. With the pics she sent we could tell that our guy was calm and happy around her. Which was such a relief! Highly recommend!”
