“Gwen was great! We took a last minute holiday trip to Portland and she was able to watch our dogs last minute while we tooled around the city. She lives in a cute, very clean condo about 10 mins from Old Port. Picked up two very happy pups!”

“Lindsay was great! She gave us tips on where to find vegan food, where we could park our RV as we were going on a whale watching tour. She took Maddie for walks and sent us pictures. Maddie was very comfortable with Lindsay. Lindsay was always quick to answer when we had questions. We highly recommend her.”

Susan J.

“Audrey was great! She watched our very active puppy who is a handful!! She took time to work with Lizzie’s pulling on walks. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl!!”

Patricia L.

“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”

Melissa L.

“I couldn’t recommend Stacy more. She took good care of Olive and I felt confident leaving her for the day. Olive was well exercised and she enjoyed making new friends with Stacy’s dogs. I will definitely come back!!”

Cindy H.

“A very safe wonderful place for my pup for the day. Easy access to their place and an adorable clean neighborhood. Lots of pics and walks. Ideal situation for us. Rachael was wonderful.”

Kaitlyn V.

“Bri watched my pup on relatively short notice on a holiday weekend. She was very responsive, provided lots of updates and pictures, and overall took great care of my energetic girl, and we even went home with some homemade dog treats! I definitely recommend her!”

Jake W.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Jennifer watch my six-month-old golden retriever, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we met, Jennifer's warm and friendly demeanor put both me and my puppy at ease. She was incredibly attentive to all of my instructions and made sure to ask all the right questions about my puppy's routine and preferences. Jennifer has a natural way with dogs. My golden retriever, who can be quite a handful at times, was calm and happy when I returned. It was clear she had received plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. Jennifer also provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my puppy was in great hands. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals truly stand out. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”

About: About five years ago, I began fostering animals—mostly dogs—and quickly discovered how much I enjoy spending time with them. Since then, I've fostered dozens of dogs of various sizes and breeds. Each one has had their own unique and often hilarious personality. Fostering comes with its own set of challenges, especially building trust with an animal in a short amount of time. Over the years, I’ve done a considerable amount of training, as pets with basic obedience skills are more likely to be adopted. I work from home and understand how important—and sometimes difficult—it is to find someone reliable to care for your pet. I'm highly communicative, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is being cared for with the utmost attention and love. I live in a great suburban neighborhood that’s perfect for dog walks and playtime. I am a remote employee for a tech company and have a very flexible schedule. I work out of a clean room with a lovely patio off from it that overlooks the backyard. Because of my work schedule, I’m flexible to look after pets with differing needs, walk schedules etc. I don’t have any pets or young children in my home, so visiting or boarding pets get my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My top priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When pets stay with me, I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or administering any medications. I know how important consistency is, especially when they're in a new environment. If I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I treat the space with respect and follow all instructions carefully to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for the pet. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.

“Nicolette is the best! She treats my puppy like family. She is always well cared for and happy when I pick her up.”

About: I live alone with no pets but miss having my own. I do travel and play golf so I don't want to own a pet at the moment but I miss having a dog or cat around. I have a flexible schedule and even better is your pet likes to ride in the car for short errands or a trip to the lake or the park. I have a nice yard in a quite neighborhood where I can walk a dog on a leash. Bright, clean and sunny home in Windham.

About: Every dog has their own unique personality. I take great joy in getting to know every dog I meet and spend time with. They are not just pets they are our companions our best friends, our family. I have two dogs and two cats of my own so I understand how hard it can be to leave them and know that they will be well cared for. I look forward to helping to ease some of the stress involved with that. I have many years experience with special needs dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I would love to care for your pet in anyway I can. I have a pretty flexible schedule so reach out and find out if I am available, I will do the best I can to accommodate. I very mindful of your home and will leave things as is or as instructed. Our pets can sometimes have accidents and I will always clean up in anyway needed. I try and send you lots of photos of your pet(s) and provide updates. I am the first to reach out if there is anything of concern or in need or urgent attention. My goal is to leave your pet happy, healthy and ready for a nap by the end of my visit.

About: Heyyy! Want to know a little bit about me? Well here goes nothing! I have a 3 year old crazy hound at home! I got her as a puppy and shes been my best friend ever since.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud pup parent to Koda.

You’ll receive updates and photos during the day, so you always know how your dog is doing. Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests, I’m happy to discuss! Koda, my playful and friendly Australian Cattle Dog would love to spend the day with your pup! I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family—and that’s exactly what I aim to do! I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays and open my home to pups for daycare on those days. We have a spacious deck and a fenced yard that's perfect for playing, exploring, or just soaking up the sun. Koda loves having a buddy around, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day.

When outside, your dog can be on a secure lead and supervised closely to ensure they can enjoy fresh air and playtime safely. There will be fresh water constantly available and if the shade disappears or if it gets too hot outside, inside to the ac they will come!
