“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”

Aiden T.

“Destiny was great and I will totally hire her again! My dog takes a bit to warm up to people and she was so patient and understanding of Kona. She also left my place tidy and clean! Great communication and felt very comfortable leaving Kona while I was away!”

Rene Q.

“Amanda watched our dogs at our house while we were out of town for the week. We got tons of cute updates of happy dogs playing frisbee and hiking and tired on the couch after fun days. Great communication, happy pups, and house was left in perfect shape! We would definitely recommend Amanda for dog/house sitting.”

Josh T.

“Jackie was awesome. She was flexible and fully attentive to my injured little guy. She dealt with a relatively complicated medication regiment that I sprang on her somewhat last minute. When I got back Theo was happy and noticeably healthier. On top of that she was communicative and easy going.”

Nate S.

“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.”

Lani H.

“Sophia was fantastic. She sent lots of pics and updates while taking care of my dog. She even took him for four walks in one day! Four walks! I think my dog had a better vacation than I did. I highly recommend Sophia.”

Matt C.

“Viva is a wonderful communicator, consistently sending photos and videos of my happy pup. This is my second booking with her. She’s reliable, has high energy and my home looks like she hasn’t been here. 🙂 Highly recommend viva and will continue to book with her.”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! I grew up with both cats and dogs - over 20 years with both and I love them all. From a Shetland sheep dog to a Great Dane to lovely shelter mutts, I love getting to know pups' unique personalities. I also have a special talent for winning over standoffish cats - just give me a couple of days. About me - I'm and education and training professional working a hybrid job based out of Portland, Maine. From northern California originally, I love exploring the coast, traveling, reading, and sketching & painting (poorly - but no one says you have to be good at your hobbies!). I travel too much to have a pet of my own right now, so I hope you'll let me play with yours! I work a hybrid job, meaning my schedule allows for full-time with your pets Thursday evenings through Monday evenings (in the office Tuesday through Thursdays). I am happy to discuss specific needs and schedules with each client. I will do everything I can to provide safety and comfort for your pets while you are away. If you'd like any addition house care for your home (e.g., watering plants, picking up mail) please let me know! Outside of caring for your pets, I am open for general house sitting.

“Stephanie is super reliable and take extra good care to make my nervous dog feel comfortable. I get regular photo updates and can tell that my pup is in good hands.”

“Sergey was great! We hired him for house/dog sitting while we were away for a long weekend and he made it so easy for us. The dogs liked him, and he clearly gave them a lot of attention. When we came home the house was spotless. You would have had no idea someone had been staying there for 4 days. He was very easy to get ahold of, and followed up a few days before the booking to confirm and schedule a second meet & greet. Would absolutely recommend.”

Josh W.

“Madeline the best dogsitter I’ve ever had. My pup, Piglet, is slow to warm up and incredibly anxious and Madeline went above and beyond to meet Piglet on her terms and make her comfortable. They quickly became best friends. Madeline was super communicative with me, sending updates and pictures and you could tell she truly loved Piglet even though it was her first time watching her. She also did great at walking her, giving her meals twice a day and her complex array of medications. And she left my house cleaner and nicer than I left it for her. I cannot recommend Madeline enough.”

Raka S.

“I truly can't say enough good things about Heidi—she was absolutely amazing! From our very first meet and greet, I knew my dogs were in great hands. Throughout her stay, she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Heidi is incredibly thorough, a fantastic communicator, and was completely on top of my dogs' needs. It was such a relief to know they were with someone so attentive and trustworthy. My dogs absolutely adored her—and so did we! We will definitely be having her back. Highly recommend!”

Dani M.

“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.”

Susan C.

“Emily took amazing care of Fraiser! Every photo update showed a big smile on his face! She took great care of my place as well! I highly recommend her for your pet are needs!”

Janelle A.

“Crystal watched my pup for a weekend when I took a last-minute trip out of town. She was communicative and sent pictures of my happy dog throughout the weekend, which made me feel so at ease. I came home to a relaxed dog and my apartment was even cleaner than when I left it! Would hire Crystal again.”

Jasmine & Alexis L.

“I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.”

“Leea stayed at our house with our dog and parakeets. She took good care of them and of the house, and she sent us pictures to keep us posted. We hope to work with her again in the future. Thanks, Leea!”
