Pet Sitting in Hollis Center

“Cats were well taken of and loved the daily pictures and feed back.”

“Kara is amazing!! She has cared for Izzy in the past. It's been several months since we needed a sitter, but since we found ourselves needing someone recently, she was immediately our choice to go to! Kara very happily responded right away that she would love to take care of our girl again! Super smooth visit, Izzy remembered her right away! Kara was even completely confident with giving Izzy important medications during their visit. Fantastic communication, lots of pictures. We were totally at ease knowing Izzy was well cared for ❤️ 12/10 Kara is amazing. We will always look to her for all our dog-sitting needs!”

“Amy was great at communicating and thorough in her check ins. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for and looked after.”

About: I am an animal lover who specializes in enrichment walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. I have a completely flexible schedule and I’ll be solely focused on Rover this summer and growing this business. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. My pet passed in February due to old age and so we have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into, and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.

About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from all walks of life, especially high-energy large breeds. Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever, and I guarantee I will treat your pet just like my own—with the utmost love, care, and respect. Whether your pet loves snoozing on the couch or playing for hours, I’ll be there for their every need and wish! My current listed rates are a reduced introductory price to help me meet and care for more pets in the community. As demand grows, my prices may increase, but I’m committed to being upfront and transparent about any changes—and I’m always happy to answer any questions or concerns! Repeat clients will have priority for discounted pricing, making it easier for you and your pet to get reliable, consistent care. ☺️ I am fully available Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I also offer a discounted rate of $23 for house sitting stays on M T W + F, as I do work outside of the home from 7:45 am - 5:45 pm those days but will be there for mornings, evenings and overnights if you have a pet who is comfortable with that time frame or have someone to let them out mid-day. 😊 I am usually available for last minute care requests as well! It's my primary goal to make sure your fur baby first and foremost feels safe and comfortable when I care for them. It can be stressful having someone new come into your space, so allowing time for slow introduction and bonding are very important. I want to be able to build trust and a loving bond with your pet, so both you and them know they're getting top quality care, love and affection from their new human friend.

“As always, Rhea was absolutely incredible with our Clover! Leaving for a week or more is so hard knowing your pet has to stay behind but the assurance is someone as caring and attentive as Rhea makes it a lot easier. Not only does our cat have her food, water and litter taken care of, she gets plenty of love!”

“We are so thankful we found Melissa on Rover! She was undeterred by our dog’s initial excessive barking and excitability. She was very responsive to messages and when our schedule wasn’t predictable she was understanding and flexible. She was extremely generous with her time and attention to our pup and truly treated him like he was her own. She left a light on for us when we were expecting to be home after dark. It’s clear she loves caring for dogs and helping their owners!”

About: Honest, Experienced, Reliable pet sitting and care. We take great pride in forming a bond with each pet we take care of. This is something that we love doing and will love yours like our own. As an added bonus you should get a few great photos of your favorite creature! We have taken care of Dogs, Cats, Parrots, Turtles, Fish, Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Pigs, Horses, worms, snails, etc. If you have some fun and interesting animals we would love to come, meet you and them, and take care of them while you are out of town, or just at work! We welcome pets that love to snuggle in bed, elderly pets, as well as difficult and anxious pets. Sometimes our posted rates don’t meet your special needs pets, and appreciate your patience in the negotiation process. You will get the best available and individualized care of your pets in our home, or yours. Daily updates along with photos and videos of your pet, and have the peace of mind they are being loved and cared for just like you would at your own home. We welcome training opportunities, and can continue treat and/or clicker training and potty training as well. My husband worked at a local Donkey rescue and I have been rescuing Strays since 1985. We both just love and care for animals. The nitty gritty details: We only watch pets from 1 family at a time. This lessens the stress on them, and us, and allows us to give them the BEST care possible. This also costs a bit more. Our time is valuable, as we know yours does as well. While we are capable of hosting multiple pets, we choose to focus our time and care on your families pets 1 at a time. We do require a meet and greet, and sometimes a “trial run” for certain breeds, elderly pets, or pets we will be watching for over 2 days. In most circumstances this is NOT required, but we do want to meet those who are known to have separation anxiety, barking issues, food aggression or aggression in general, have high energy needs, special diets and medications and any pet that doesn’t do well with strangers. Day care pets during the week do need to be fairly well mannered, and not have barking and/or major anxiety issues. Drop off before 8:00am and Pick-Ups after 8:00pm will be charged an additional $10 per hour. Pets not picked up within 15 minutes of the scheduled pick up window will be charged an additional $20/hr. I currently work full time remote, so will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! We have a regular schedule of play time, including walking or outdoor time every 2-4 hours for 15-30 minutes. We have a fully fenced backyard, and ALWAYS leash ALL pets when outside our yard. We have had several “runners”, corgis and cats that want to bolt for the first sign of freedom… or squirrels/birds etc. We take great caution to make sure your pet is safe at ALL times.

“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have had the pleasure of caring for them from childhood through adulthood. I love showering pups with lots of love, snuggles, treats and walks! I currently work full time, but my schedule allows for drop ins after 330pm on the weekdays, and all day on most Saturdays and Sundays I'm more than willing to keep to your pups routine and ways. I can and will send cute pictures of your happy fur baby if wanted.

About: Professional Pet Snuggler, Dog Walker Extraordinaire, and Treat Giver Supreme 🐾 I’m a mom of two young wild and wonderful kids (three, if you count my husband 😄) and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve lived with pets so long, I’m basically fluent in meow, woof, and squeak. With over 5 years of dog-walking experience, I’m comfy with pups of all sizes — from pocket-sized pooches to gentle giants. I’m also totally cool with cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even horses. If it has fur (or whiskers), I’m in! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, your cat needs a snack and a snuggle, or your pet rat just wants someone to chat with — I’ve got you covered. I treat every animal like part of the family (and yes, I do talk to them like they’re tiny humans). Ready to bring joy, treats, and tummy rubs — can’t wait to meet your whiskered pal! As a stay-at-home mom, part-time admin, and dance instructor, I’m no stranger to juggling schedules — and I’ve got the flexibility to fit in pet care when you need it most. Whether it’s during the school year or the summer shuffle, I can usually make it work. Need a midday walk? A last-minute drop-in? A cuddle buddy for your cat while you’re away? I’ve got you covered! I don’t offer pet sleepovers at my place (our house is already a zoo!), but I’m more than happy to come to yours. Your pets will stay comfy in their own cozy corners while I handle the food, walks, belly rubs, and more. I'm super respectful of your home and always treat it like it’s my own. I’m also very mindful of home safety and security — you can count on me to treat your space with respect and care while you’re away.

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)

“Caroline is a kind, caring, and loving pet sitter! She is reliable, and goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are comfortable and happy! My dogs loved her! She took great care of everyone, and I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Caroline!”

About: Throughout my life I have always been drawn to animals. Ive had several small pets and have also had family dogs and cats my whole life. Prior to moving out, I would take my dogs for two 3 mile walks a day and enjoyed being active with them. Im a working professional in the mental health crisis field, and while I am extremely dedicated to that work, it doesn't pay the bills and am looking for something fun and meaningful to add in! Availability: Sunday: 6am-8pm Monday: 6am-8pm Tues-Fri: 430pm-8pm I am available in the hours that I do not work my full time job. Available by request prior to 6am. I do not bring pets to my home at any time and ideally will have full conversation with the pet owner to learn about their pets individual personality, needs, and what makes their pet feel safe. I understand that everyone has different living experiences and all pets have different needs. I also understand that owners have their own preferences for their pets which I shall follow.

About: I'm highly dependable and punctual, and I always provide clear updates so you know how the walk went. You’ll never be left wondering—just happy to see your dog getting great care and exercise while you’re away or busy. I work a full-time job Monday - Friday, with remote work at the beginning of the week and an hour-long break each day for those local to my office in Portland. My weekends are typically open, as I have Saturdays and Sundays off work. Generally speaking, I may be able to accommodate walks before 8 am and after 5 pm throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and their routine with respect. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, wiping paws, or giving meds—and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves to explore or a senior who enjoys a slow stroll, I make sure they’re getting the right amount of exercise, enrichment, and love. After every visit, I send an update so you know how things went and how your pet is doing!

“Kaden visited my pup two times over the course of a weekend and kept me in the loop with pictures and frequent updates! We were very happy with our experience! Thanks again!”

About: I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I’m available and can work pet care around my daily and weekly schedule. I’m in between jobs right now so I have a lot of flexibility. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.

“Faith was absolutely wonderful to work with. She communicated well, was friendly and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs! Thank you again!”
