“Anna was great! She took care of our dog and reported back very thoroughly. He was such a happy camper - highly recommend using Anna to care for your fur baby.”

“Jess is GREAT! She very quickly gained the trust of our senior and special needs dog. He is comfortable with her and benefits from her visits every week! She is punctual, trustworthy, sends updates, flexible schedule, communicates clearly and quickly, and we feel she truly loves our dog. It is very difficult to find someone who would care for your pet as you would and we are so grateful for Jess!”

“We had a 5-star experience with Madeleine. From the get-go, her communication was clear and proactive. And she was very quick with follow ups. We had no doubts our dogs were well cared for, and we'd definitely have her sit for us (them) again. ; )”

“She was so good to my cats?? They were comfortable with her very quickly. I was given photo updates of visits. Pet care, feeding, etc all kindly and competently done. Many thanks and will use again.”

“Jesika is great! I can always trust her to be kind to my pets, give them attention and take good care of them! She is mature, responsible and caring. Highly recommended!”
“Meagan is a fantastic dedicated caretaker for our triple whammy pups. They get lots of love and attention and I’m happy to have someone reliable to love on my girls and take such good care of them.”

About: Hi! I’m Nicholas, a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog sitter here in Portland, ME. I enjoy providing walks, hikes, playtime, and belly rubs to make sure your dog feels loved and safe while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs required for your dog. This could include administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and following your dog’s routine. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities! My wife and I are the go to dog sitter for our circle of friends, and hope someday to get a dog of our own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and provide them with excellent care! I work from home Monday-Friday till 5pm. I could do any dog walks after work, or any other care needed. I will be available some weekends. I would make sure to take special care of your dog, and make your dog feel comfortable. If I only did a house visit, I would make sure your dog has everything they need, before I left your house.
About: In the past, I had a Rottweiler German Shepherd mix who was 100lbs. His name was Huckleberry. I loved taking him on walks, grooming/brushing him, and giving him lots of pets. My friends also hired me to take care of their dogs who ranged in different breeds and sizes. I also love taking pictures of all animals. You're sure to get some pretty pictures of your pooch! I am currently working part-time at The Maine Mall and have some free time to help out as much of the Portland dog loving community as possible. Dogs make me happy and feel good about what I do! I make sure your pet(s) are cared for by giving them plenty of water on walks, making sure they are not acting out of the norm (panting heavily/having heat exhaustion). I was working at a veterinary hospital in Chicagoland, so I feel confident at making sure your dog is well taken care of, kept hydrated, fed well, and that all the normal everyday tasks (peeing, pooping, breathing) are being well monitored. I will also send pictures/videos if I suspect something is not right/concerning. I hope to take care of your cute pooch soon!
“Hannah was super cool and chill. We have anxious cats who do not like when we travel—Hannah clearly did well because they were both super calm and friendly when we got back. She sent lots of pictures and overall did really great. 10/10 for cat rating.”

About: I've done plenty of pet sitting in my past, but I have a 2 year old energetic, pit mix of my own so I'm versed in strong, big dogs. And love the little shrimps too. I'm a local math teacher on summer break, needless to say, I'm super available. Particularly, the weekdays are good for me during the day, while I contemplate the next big equation I will teach the youth. I love a long walk on the beach (or through town) with your little angel. And am more than happy to play a little fetch or just people watch at the park.

“We really appreciated Marna's communications; letting us know when she arrived and how Alphie greeted her. Alphie felt comfortable enough to give Marna some lovings, which was what we were hoping for. It felt good to trust our little man to Marna.”
“Katey is an all star! Even when a health complication for our cat occurred right before we left for vacation she was able to help us handle it. We returned to 2 happy kitties.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school. I currently have an elderly cat who receives medication by hand twice a day, so I have experience working with senior animals that need more advanced care. I would love to work with your pet!! I am available Friday - Saturday when you need me and can make myself available in the late afternoons and evenings Monday - Thursday as needed for repeat pet sitting! I am a calm, patient individual and want to get to know your pet at their speed. I am great spending time with your pet in your home where they are the most comfortable or taking dogs out for walks as needed!

“Katherine did a fantastic job looking after our cats! We have never had a pet sitter before so having one for the first time was a bit of a stress for my wife and I. Katherine eliminated all of our stress about our cats and made sure they were well taken care of. Receiving pictures of our cats every day was very comforting and the our cats, who are typically pretty shy around new people, seemed very comfortable with Katherine. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is need of a pet sitter.”

“Justine watched our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was very responsive and updated us with pictures and a note after each visit. We really appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness over the holiday!”

About: My first job was at Mainely Dog, a doggy daycare where I fed and entertained groups of dogs-all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up with many dogs in my family. We also fostered and took in dogs with behavioral difficulties, even had up to 5 dogs at once so I’m used to handling multiple dogs at a time! My dream has always been to own my own business to help and love animals. I can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently work a part time job where I work 3-4 days a week from 4:30-10:30 so I am available the rest of those days and my days off. I am attentive and can keep your pets safe whether that’s in your home or outside in the yard. When out on walks, I am skilled at reading your dog and other dog’s ability to interact in a safe environment from my experience at the doggy daycare.
East Deering pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jackiellen is clearly a "cat whisperer" who immediately established an affectionate relationship with Amigo, who greatly enjoyed her visits with him while we were away from home. She did a wonderful job of keeping us informed about how he was doing, and we will definitely use her again on our next out-of-town expedition!!
