About: I have been sitting family friends dogs and cats for years! I have a great deal of experience for special needs animals. I have worked with puppies as well as senior pups. I also have taken care of single or multiple kittens, a mix of cat ages, and cared for senior cats. I have done a great deal with special needs animals including those with diabetes, epilepsy, and anxiety. I recently moved to ME! My husband took a job here promoting our relocation. I will begin my shift work health care job come July. Therefore, I am currently very flexible to get to know your beloved pet and provide you/them with what services you need. I have been animal sitting for family and friends for 6+ years now. I am a responsible individual with a huge heart for furry friends. I have worked in apartment like homes as well as five bedrooms large homes. I am clean, trust-worthy, and active if your animal wants to be! I promise the tails will be wagging!

About: I am home most of the day….providing a warm and comfortable atmosphere. Having lived with several pets over the years any special condition your pet may have (medication, injections or special activity). Will be addressed. I have owned and cared for several 4 legged friends throughout my life each with their own wonderful personality. I will look after your Pet as my own. I have a great walking paths around my home. And a large yard. Your doggie will be part of our family….. I work from home with plenty of time to spend with your pet. My hubby and will enjoy your pets company as much as hopefully they will enjoy ours. Our house is very quiet with few visitors & Easy to fit right in….. visitors. I take only one dog at a time to attend to all their requirements. I love to send photos to keep you updated. Having boarded my own doggie I understand the toll of leaving your loved one behind. Your pet will have and a no worry, safe and fun atmosphere so you can too….
“Kylie and John were absolutely amazing with Fenway! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She sent me regular photo updates, and it was clear he was happy, relaxed, and having a great time. I could tell he got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Fenway will definitely be staying with them again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a Portland educator who loves to bike, hike, and adventure around town. I grew up with two large dogs and miss caring for pups! I am considering adopting a puppy, but before I do, I want to experience pet care more consistently. I am available for long walks, beach runs, and couch cuddles. I work until 3pm M-F, with some time around noon to walk and play. I will have much more flexibility this summer. I love to run after work! I love playing with dogs just as much as I love a good couch cuddle. Depending on the dog's personality, I am available for hanging at home or running on the beach.
“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”
