House Sitting North Deering

“Sophia was very attentive. I appreciated her wanting to know as much about Birdie as she could to make their stay together the best it could be.”

Amy L.

“Sergey was terrific! He came by to meet our dog before the pet sitting appointment and was very patient and caring. He was on time and dependable. If we visit Portland again we will definitely ask for him to pet sit our dog again.”

Jacqueline D.

“Madeleine took excellent care of my cats while I was away! She sent pictures daily and gave updates with each visit. I will definitely use her services in the future!”

Lea M.

“I cannot begin to say how much we have appreciated the care provided by Sara. Her timely communication with human owners as well as feline care skills are second to none. We highly recommend her as a house sitter/cat sitter should you ever need such support!”

ELIZABETH K.

“Celine did an excellent job caring for our pets while we were away! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog, taking her on lots of walks, giving her plenty of snuggles, and keeping her happy. We would absolutely recommend Celine to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

Suzanne R.

“Renee was great, checking in with questions when needed. One of my dogs is more needy and she let me know so I could offer suggestions. I've invited her to come back and she said yes, so that's a good sign!”

Betsy R.

“Kaylyn was absolutely fantastic. She watched our two dogs and cat for a week. I swear our house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. She was very trustworthy and responsive. We will definitely use her again!”

Cicily H.

“Viva house and dogsat for us while we were on vacation and she was absolutely great. She was very communicative before and during the stay and our dog loved her. She also sent lots of pictures, which was very appreciated! We will definitely look to book with her again in the future”

“I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.”

“Brooklynn did an awesome job watching our dog Sadie for the night. We reached out to her with fairly short notice and she was very accommodating in setting up a meet and greet beforehand. She was great with communication, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pics.”

Ashley G.

“Jamie was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Pete, over the Christmas holiday. Not only was she great with Pete, but she also navigated a big snow storm and power outage with ease. We felt so at ease knowing that she was holding down the fort when we were out of state. She is a great communicator, left the house in immaculate condition, and even gave Pete a handmade Christmas stocking! We'd love to have her back.”

Peggy R.

“Jessica was punctual and easy to communicate with (before and during), sharing pics of our dogs almost immediately to reassure us that all was well. Jessica was also very attentive to our dogs' individual needs, including separation anxiety and caution towards new people. Thank you!”

Christopher C.

“Elizabeth and Stephen took such great care of our Stella. They communicated often while we were away and sent some of the cutest pics. We will definitely be repeat customers!”

About: Longtime dog lover and owner, current parent of a 9-year-old Siberian Husky service dog whom I trained to myself. I love dogs of all sizes and shapes and personalities and I can't wait to meet all the wonderful furkids that I'll be looking after in the future. I'm always telling people "I may have trouble remembering your name, but I will always remember your pet's name." Though I am small in stature I'm actually quite strong and can handle large/muscular dogs (and the occasional feral cat when necessary), because I just know how to move with them/guide them. I'm also not intimidated by aggressive behavior in animals, nor do I meet it with aggression in return. I always try to calm the animal and figure out the issue, putting myself between them and anyone/anything that might upset them further. I have a personality/presence that dogs seem to love, from the timid to the social, the calm to the active. I'm a fast walker, so your dog will certainly get a workout they'll love as they keep pace with me, but I can also meander when needed for the older dogs and fumbling puppies. I have experience doing basic grooming for dogs: bathing, brushing, shaving away mats, clipping nails, trimming the fur between pawpads, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears. I do not have experience doing "style" cuts for dogs. I know snake pet care as well, so feel free to inquire if you need someone to look after your danger noodle! Pet care is my primary work focus right now as I work through completing my online schooling towards getting my degree and Vet Tech licence. I have a backyard for your dog to play in alongside my very friendly Husky. It's not fenced in, but I keep a spare long-lead on-hand, same kind as I use for my girl, for guest dogs. If your dog is an especially strong one please let me know and I'll make sure to have an lead appropriate for your dogs weight strength available. Inside the house is dog-friendly and spacious, and I can crate your dog if needed. My dog is allowed on the couch and my bed, so do let me know if those are no-go areas for your dog. If your cat likes outside time I can provide walks and/or put them out in the backyard on the spare long-lead.

About: Ever since I was born, my family always had dogs in the house as they would often provide foster care, we also ended up adopting a few of them! When I was older, around 14, I began looking after and caring for animals from my friends and family. Because of this, I have great experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles and even pigs! I'm currently searching for a new job - so I have plenty of time to fit in animal care daily. For the meantime, I treat this as my part-time job! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. My apartment has doors separate my room and the kitchen, so its easy for me to watch animals within my space. There is also an enclosed outdoor area for easy walks!

About: I’ve had my own pup since I was about 15. Love spending time with animals of all kinds. Over the years I’ve always been happy to house sit/walk dogs of friends and family. I’m responsible, reliable, and understand dogs on a deep level I work full time at Enterprise car rentals however I have 3 days a week where I’m out early afternoon. Most of my free time is spent running I’m SUPER excited to work dog walking (or running if they are up for it) into my schedule. I’m also more than happy to house sit. Working with animals makes my heart happy! I have an elderly pup my self so I understand the need for extra care with the seniors. Im good with taking specific directions for each dog and continuing training practices as described.

“It was great to have John stay in our house and watch our dear Dora for a week while we were out of town. He kept us in the loop throughout the stay and was a great guest and dog sitter.”

“Sarah is wonderful! She stayed overnight with my dog for several days. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and energy level. She took her for long walks and to the dog park to run. She sent many photos and updates. I highly recommend!”

Lauren S.

“Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.”

Susan C.

“Megan did an outstanding job looking after our pets (and home). She provided lots of pictures and updates which was really appreciated. Megan also went above and beyond with cleaning up our house from her stay. It’s always a relief to come home after a trip to a clean house and well cared for pets.”
