Highlights
Pet care experience
We love your pet like family! 😊🐾
Dylan and I both have had dogs our whole life. We have been taking care of others' pets in the Greater Portland Area for almost three years now. What started as a way to make extra income, became a passion to care for others' animals. We have hosted/ cared for puppies to senior dogs. -Pick up and drop off is included (greater Portland area) -Offering Wedding Services to drop off and pick up your dog during your ceremony!

Ratings and reviews
Kathleen & Dylan are incredible sitters. Our golden puppy Chief had the best overnight stay with them and their dog, and they were responsive and sent pictures throughout his stay. Will definitely be having them watch Chief in the future! 😊
Thank you for taking such great care of Chloe- and for your flexibility when our travel plans changed! She always returns to us so happy - you and Dylan are gems!
Easy to work with and took such good care of our big dog! Thank you!
Kathleen and Dylan are amazing - they have watched our little pug several times over the past year and she always returns to us happy and at peace. They are professional, flexible, super friendly and a joy to work with. I cannot recommend them enough.
Great communication, happy dog! Will definitely book again.
Kathleen was very accommodating of our dog. She (the dog) had never been boarded anywhere before, so we were not sure what to expect. She is usually friendly with other dogs and well behaved but this was a new experience for her. She also has a special diet that we provided which Kathleen was happy to serve to her. Our dog started out well and went on a walk the first afternoon with Kathleen's dog and got along with her cat. But at dinner, she got food aggressive with Kathleen's dog. Kathleen separated the pooches at meal time and they subsequently got along well again. Unfortunately, our dog - because she was in an unfamiliar place and probably nervous - urinated around Kathleen's apartment. Kathleen was prepared to continue caring for the dog, but it just felt like too much to ask and better to get our pooch back to familiar territory. So our kids came and got her. I think this experience illustrates the lengths that Kathleen will go to provide good care for a pooch. Just was not something that our pooch was ready for.

Schedule
I work from home so I am able to meet your pets needs for their daily routine. If staying with me, I have access to the Eastern Prom at my doorstep. Frequently we visit my mother in law's house that has an outdoor fenced in yard.
