House Sitting in North Deering, Portland, ME

“Sergey was great! Very easygoing and laidback. Communicated well, and the animals enjoyed his company. Sergey sent photos and provided regular updates.”

“Jeanelle took great care of our girl Gretchen while we were out of town for a few days. Very communicative with us and attentive to our pup. Highly recommend!”

“Madeline the best dogsitter I’ve ever had. My pup, Piglet, is slow to warm up and incredibly anxious and Madeline went above and beyond to meet Piglet on her terms and make her comfortable. They quickly became best friends. Madeline was super communicative with me, sending updates and pictures and you could tell she truly loved Piglet even though it was her first time watching her. She also did great at walking her, giving her meals twice a day and her complex array of medications. And she left my house cleaner and nicer than I left it for her. I cannot recommend Madeline enough.”

“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.”

“Our boys had another awesome stay with Viva!!! She takes such wonderful care of them at our home and always sends plenty of updates and pictures! Thank you!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life and it instilled my love for animals. While I don’t have pets of my own (yet) I have many fur-nieces and nephews I care for. I currently also live with my roommates two cats who I care for as my own. More experienced with smaller and medium sized dogs but comfortable with any and all sized pets. I work full-time from M-F usually from 9:30-5:30. I have the flexibility with my job though to take time off in the day, if needed, to run errands or attend to anything important (ie. pet sitting). I don’t have many outside activities that would be difficult to schedule around and typically have most nights and weekends free. I have taken care of pets that have different requests and requirements so I am able to adapt to whatever you may need. I’m comfortable crating pets when/if needed. I’ve dealt with multiple pets at once and taking them out on walks or bathrooms breaks.

“Michelle was awesome! She came to our house a week ahead of the stay to meet the pups and get the lay of the land. She stayed with them at the house for two nights and sent us updates and photos throughout the weekend. She is attentive, responsible and caring. When we got home, the dogs were excited to see us but also calm and clearly had enjoyed their time with Michelle. Can’t recommend her enough and we hope she’s available for a home stay the next time we are out of town!”

“Jay stayed with my dog Lucy while I went on a business trip across the country and she was so wonderful with my sweet old girl. She was very curious about Lucy’s needs and communicated with me and shared some pictures along the way. I came home to a happy dog and I’m so grateful to Jay for taking such good care of her!”

“Sara is a bona fide Cat Whisperer. Our cat enjoyed the time she spent with Sara (we have the pictures to prove it!) and was loving and comfortable when we returned from our trip. My husband and I highly recommend Sara is you ever need a cat/house sitter.”

ELIZABETH K.

“Renee was great with Olivia and was prompt about checking in and sending photos. She gave her antibiotics along with regular care. Will definitely ask for her back!”

Shanley D.

“Amy is our favorite sitter for our dog Lady! She always sends lots of photos and is a great communicator. Lady has some behavioral challenges and we know she’s safe with Amy.”

Tess M.

“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.

“Miranda was amazing! I was so nervous having a house sitter to watch my dog for the first time but Miranda made it such a good experience. She communicated with me so well before and during my trip and put my nerves at ease. She gave me daily updates and photos/videos and did so well with my dogs medications and eye drops. I’m so happy that Miranda was available to watch my dog and I’ll be forever grateful that the experience went smoother than could’ve wished for. I’ll definitely book with Miranda again in the future for any of our dog sitting/dog walking needs.”

Kelsey O.

“Jamie was a fantastic sitter for my dog Oscar. She will be my go to from this point forward. She was communicative from the point of inquiry through until the end of the booking. She sent regular updates with photos and was happy to respond to any inquiries in between updates. She was respectful of our home and I came back to a well exercised and relaxed pup! It is difficult to trust someone with your animal but Jamie definitely has both mine and Oscars! We can't wait to use her services again!”

Emma A.

“Absolutely amazing job and really saved me. Raisin is so happy and I loved the updates. 10/10 will book again.”

Margie L.

“Lea was friendly and communicative, and took great care of our two dogs (even dealing with one that unexpectedly had tummy issues.) Highly recommended.”

Joe A.

“Savannah is the kindest, most responsible cat sitter of all time. Her immediate care and attention put my mind at ease quickly. I feel so grateful to have met Savannah because leaving your pets can be stressful and this time I could actually relax while I was away knowing that she was pet sitting our two cats. Thank you Savannah!!!!”

About: Hi, My name is Muriel and I am originally from France. I moved to the US 9 years ago and I miss having cats in my life! I used to cat sit there (home and people's home) for 4 years. My family also owned cats when I was younger. I am used to them and they get easily used to me! I'll keep good care of your cat! At home, it's me, my husband and our 4.5 year old girl. Tyler and Julia are both big fan of cats. Julia is very gentle with animals and i taught her to respect them. We have a house with a fenced yard. If your cat is not supposed to go outside, I'll make sure to keep the doors and windows closed. Can't wait to meet your cat! I am working full time from home, from 8 to 5 pm. I'll be happy to have a cat keep me company! Our daughter goes to school from 8:30 to 5pm. We allow cats to use our furniture and sleep with us (hopefully!!!!) Because I work remotely, I spend most of the day at home with your cat. I love to play with them using little strings or aluminum foil balls. My daughter Julia will also help with that part of course! I change the litter several times a day to avoid smells. I am also happy to brush/comb your cat :)

“Tiffany was wonderful with the pets and with our house. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
