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.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication. I work from home with a lot of flexibility so with proper planning and coordination I can be there to meet you and your furry friends’ needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog who doesn’t mind the company of other well socialized animals. We do have a cat and small child so please consider that before booking. If staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy.

“Madeleine was a wonderful sitter for my little pup! Rusty really liked her right from their first meeting. She stayed at my house which was perfect because Rusty is used to someone being home all the time. When I returned, the house was exactly the way I left it. I would highly recommend Madeleine for per/house sitting!”


About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)

“Grace is wonderful! She took great care of our needy pets, sent lots of pics which we loved and her communication was perfect! This was our first Rover experience and it could not have been better! She took great care of our home and our pups loved her! Thank you, Grace!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. I grew up with a dog and a rabbit, and I’m now a proud dog mom to two wonderful pups, Mola and Edwin. I understand how much love and attention pets need because I give it every day! I also regularly dog sit and walk for friends and family, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply making your pet feel safe and loved, I’m here to help. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM, but I’m available for late afternoon, and evening visits during the week. I’m also open and flexible on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. If you’re looking for someone dependable outside of standard work hours, I’m happy to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t offer boarding in my home, I’m committed to providing reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment or through drop-ins and walks. I always follow your instructions carefully and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own dogs. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, respected, and well-cared-for every step of the way.

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: Since I was 16, I’ve been taking care of pets owned by family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. I am reliable, passionate, and loving to all animals! For the summer, I am mainly working during the day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but I am typically available after 4pm. Otherwise, I can spend full time with your pet! I can easily follow instructions for however your pet needs to be taken care of in your home - feeding, walking, crating, etc. are no problem.

I’m so grateful to have found someone nearby so reliable and compassionate. Highly recommend!”


Melissa C.
“My family and I have known Melissa for more than a decade — as a neighbor, a key player on the soccer team we coached, and as a fellow animal-lover. When in middle, high school, and beyond, she was one of only two teens we trusted to pet-sit for our multiple cats, fish, and high-intensity dog. She simply is that “Wonderful Human Being” —caring, loving, RELIABLE, responsible, resourceful, strong, smart, etc. Melissa has a calm, steady presence — always aware — and follows-through. When needed, she is consistently responsive and communicative. Perhaps most importantly for Rover is that Melissa has a lovely way with animals and their humans:). Any client, company, or pet would be lucky to have her on their team.”


Owen H.

“Owen is an awesome pet sitter! Reliable and caring. Communication was great.”


Molly E.

“Molly did an excellent job watching Odin while we were away! She was very communicative and responded promptly when we sent texts. I would highly recommend her!”

A trusted professional. Communicative, honest and followed our directions perfectly. We will be using Molly again in the future. We never had to worry for a minute while we were on vacation. A++++

Leaving your pups with Wendy means that you can feel confident that they are getting the best care! We were able to fully enjoy our vacation while she stayed with our doodles. She checked in daily with pictures and an update. We will definitely be asking Wendy to stay with our dogs the next time we go away!

Rylee was an excellent choice for a pet sitter. When I met her I knew right away that she would take excellent care of our senior dog. Her communication was excellent and she arrived on time for our meeting and for the pet sitting. Our dog was calm and happy and the house was as we left it! I appreciated that she was open to doing only a one night visit that was short notice. I would have her stay with Paisley again without hesitation!
