House Sitting in Jefferson

“Stephanie was great! She was a huge help when another sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our dog and home and communicated well through the experience. We would definitely re-book with her if ever needed! Thank you, Stephanie!”

“Liseli did an amazing job taking care of my dog and 2 cats when I went away for the weekend. We even had a minor medical emergency with my dog that she immediately called me about and got him the medical care he needed and stayed in close communication with me through the process. All my animals seemed relaxed and content when I got back. I can tell she made them all feel safe and loved, which I so so appreciate. I highly recommend her and definitely hope to hire her again in the future.”

About: I'm a work at home pet mom with a large yard, lots of toys, and a calm and welcoming house. I've always had large dogs from mixed breeds to Great Danes, but love and appreciate all types of well mannered dogs. My house sits well off the road, so its quiet and I hike or trail walk almost daily. I am adept at giving medicine, cleaning wounds and dealing with incontinent dogs, but I will only board dogs who are respectful of my cats. I am currently working from home on my own schedule. Boarded dogs who enjoy car rides can come with me on errands or outings. While each day may different, my activities will be built around the needs of the animals I am caretaking, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will care for your animals as per your instructions and the capabilities of your pet. I do not have a fenced in yard, but have installed a run line in the past. If a dog is used to being crated, receiving treats, or sleeping on the couch - no problem. Conversely, I don't give animals people food, and if you want your pets to stay off furniture I will strictly honor that as well. My house is small but open, so it is easy to keep an eye on them.

“Penelope stayed in our home and took wonderful care of our pup and home while we were away. She is kind, responsive, and was a thoughtful and responsible guest — even going above and beyond to clear our deck and sidewalks after a snowstorm. We came home to a happy dog and clean home, and we couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: I am a former Special Education Teacher primarily booking house/pet sitting clients in the Portland area. I work minimal hours remotely and enjoy the novelty and companionship that Rover clients offer my lifestyle. This means I have a lot of time and attention to devote to your pet when you cannnot. I live on a lovely property in the country with a large yard and access to miles of wooded trails for long walks. I’m primarily interested in house/pet sitting clients but am open to boarding or pet sitting for a repeat client I am familiar with. I have experience with large breed and high energy breeds over the years. I do not qualify myself a “trainer”, however, I competed therapy dog selection and training through the University of Maine and have studied animal behavior for my professional work. I look forward to getting to know you and your pet! I when I am not hanging out with your pets or working, I am an active outdoorswoman, gardiner, and yoga instructor. I am available for your pet care needs while you are away. I currently am working minimal hours remotely and would devote time and attention to your pets needs while you are not able to. I am a minimalist and tidy person who enjoys accommodating your pet in my space. I feel equally comfortable adjusting to new environments and homes to provide a service. I am confident working with you, if you have complex safety issues with your pet I am here ti listen and form a plan with you to ensure you are able to relax and have confidence in me and my care giving skills while you are away.

About: I’ve never not had a pet in my house hold, owning cats, dogs, and even lizards and hamsters over the years. Growing up I also pet sat for birds, snakes, dogs, cats, and fish. My own personal dog is a senior lad at the age of 14 years and have a kitten at home. Ive worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior pups, kitten and full grown cats. I love to spend time playing and petting them (if thats what they want) and will do my best to love them a fraction of what you do to keep them happy while you’re away! I work in Portland until 4pm every week day and get back to the area around 5. I would be free to care for your pets from around 5:30pm-6:20am. I can feed, walk, brush, pet, and/or play with any of the animals you may have tailoring to whatever best suits their needs, I am an animal lover and want to best support the critters in any way I can in your absence.

“I couldn’t be happier with Erin! From start to finish, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. I came home to a spotless house and a very happy pups. What more could you ask for? It’s such a relief to know our furry pack was in such capable, caring hands. Will definitely book again! 100/10!”

Jennifer C.

“Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!”

Carrie S.

“Hayleigh was so attentive to our dogs and their individual needs. She was great at communicating while we were gone. Hayleigh even made an extra trip to our house to meet the dogs and learn about their daily routine. I will definitely be booking her in the future and recommend her to any dog parent!”

About: I have experience working in a vet’s office and a doggy daycare facility, giving me hands-on knowledge of pet care for animals of all sizes—from small dogs to large breeds and even horses. I’m comfortable with both trained and untrained dogs and can administer medications as needed. Whether your pet needs extra attention, exercise, or just some love while you’re away, they’ll be in safe and experienced hands! As a self-employed photographer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or drop-ins, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care that fits your pet’s needs. I’m looking to spend more time loving on some pets and making sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away! I live alone with no pets, providing a quiet and stress-free environment for your pet. I have 17 acres of walking trails for dogs to explore and plenty of space for private playtime. Your dog will be the only dog, and your cat will be the only cat, ensuring they get my full attention and a safe, one-on-one experience tailored to their needs. If you choose to host me in your home, you can rest easy knowing that I’m a respectful and tidy guest. I used to own a cleaning business, so keeping spaces neat and organized comes naturally to me. I always clean up after myself, ensuring your home stays just as you left it. Your pet will receive loving care in their familiar environment, and you’ll come home to a clean, well-maintained space!

“Anna did a great job with our dog, Vessy. She sent daily updates, and Vessy was clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Anna and will for sure ask for her to dog sit again in the future.”

About: Lots of love and lots of experience. Small and large, feisty or chill, cat or dog, any age, any needs, I can provide excellent care in your home, mine, or out and about! I work remotely - have laptop, have car, can travel - so my schedule is flexible. I am available for periodic care or longer term. In your home - your guidelines and with the utmost respect for you, your pets, your home, and your privacy. I can provide excellent references. In my home - I have separate living quarters in a home with two small dogs. There is a fenced in yard and lots of accessible neighborhood walks. Safe and secure, whatever works best for you and your pet.

“Atlas was absolutely amazing! She watched my two dogs while I was away on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I chose her specifically because of her expertise with nervous dogs—my chihuahua is usually very shy around new people, but the second they met I felt completely at ease. Atlas sent frequent updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. She will definitely be my go-to dog sitter from now on”

Maggie L.

“I can’t recommend Heather highly enough. She was so sweet with our dogs and very thorough during our initial meeting. While we were out of town, she stayed at our house and went above and beyond caring for babies and our space- she vacuumed at the end of her stay and even shoveled our deck, both without being asked. Each day we were gone, Heather sent us multiple photos and updates. We would book with her again in a heartbeat!”

Jen W.

“Carla was wonderful. She was great with my pups, communicated well and took great care of our home. We will have her take care of our pups again!”

Kara B.

“Amanda was amazing. So communicative and responsible. And she was an incredibly sweet person on top of it all! I will definitely have her come back again and again!”

Mitzi B.

“What can I say? Gillian is great! She came over a couple of times to meet my dogs a week before I was leaving. She was very warm and engaging and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her for a week. When I returned, my dogs were happy and I could tell they were well taken care of. I think my house was even cleaner than when I left! In addition, she kept me informed of how they were doing and sent cute pics. She was also quick to respond whenever I reached out. I would definitely recommend Gillian and would love to have her come back to pet sit.”
