Pet Sitting Pownal

“Jonas has been great with our cat, spending videos and keeping us updated. They also waded through 17” of snow when we were out of town to feed our cat, and changed around their schedule to bring a package in for us before the snow came. Would highly recommend!”

“Words cannot adequately capture how superb James was. I had so much anxiety leaving my babies to take a vacation, but it’s clear I had nothing to worry about with James. He was kind, caring, and attentive to the intricacies of managing my four pets. I’ve had a lot of people pet sit in the past, including friends and family, but nobody has done it better than James. I cannot recommend him highly enough!”

“Maricela took great care of our kitties and provided wonderful updates and photos while we were away in our trip. I knew they were safe, happy, and well taken care of while we were gone. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Yesenia was wonderful with our dog. We used her for check ins. She made the time to come over prior for a meet and greet, and gave thorough updates (and asked appropriate questions) while we were away. It was our first time trying Rover and it went great. We would definitely work with her again.”

About: I've always had a love for animals, and being able to care for them is something I genuinely enjoy. As someone who works in the medical field, I understand the importance of trust, attention to detail, and treating every family member with compassion—including the four-legged ones! For the past two years, I worked for a luxury dog walking and pet sitting company in Washington, D.C., where I cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, personalities, and temperaments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a shy rescue, a reactive dog, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience, I'm happy to meet them where they are. Every pet is different, and I love taking the time to earn their trust and learn what makes them feel comfortable. I'm also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. Because of my background in the medical field, I feel confident administering oral medications, eye drops, and ear medications for both dogs and cats. If your pet has a special routine or requires extra attention, you can trust that they'll be in great hands. Communication is incredibly important to me. For each visit or stay, I'll send detailed updates and plenty of photos! My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without worrying. I also have experience walking up to five dogs at once and am comfortable with everything from leash training to energetic pullers and leisurely senior strolls. No matter your pet's age, personality, or needs, I'll treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own. If I'm staying in your home, I'll care for it with the same respect and attention that I would my own. I'm happy to bring in mail and packages, water plants, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your home feels just as you left it. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and complete peace of mind. I'm currently working part-time while completing my remaining prerequisite courses as I apply to Physician Assistant programs, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. Whether your furry one needs regular walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or a little extra attention, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits. Clear communication is important to me, and I'll always be upfront about my availability so you can feel confident your pet is receiving the care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know that pets are happiest when they can stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to learn their daily schedule, favorite activities, feeding routine, and any special instructions before you leave. I am certified through Red Cross for Cat and Dog First Aid as well. Whether we're going on walks, playing fetch, enjoying cuddle time on the couch, or simply keeping each other company, I make sure every pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment based on their individual needs. If your pet requires medications or extra care, I'm comfortable following detailed medical routines and will always keep you updated. I also believe caring for your pet means caring for your home. If I'm house sitting, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean and tidy, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out the trash if needed, and making sure everything is secure while you're away. After each visit, I'll send detailed updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in good hands. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and complete peace of mind.

“Lauren took good care of my dog Titus, while I was away, and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. She was incredibly attentive and loving, taking the time to understand my dog's needs and personality. She provided regular updates and cute photos, which really put my mind at ease. I could see that Titus was happy and well cared for. Upon return, Titus seemed relaxed and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Lauren.”

About: Hi! My name is Amy, and as the owner of a rescue dog and an animal caregiver of almost a decade, I know every pet is an individual that deserves patience and kindness. I provide trustworthy, compassionate care and regular updates while you’re away! I volunteer at Midcoast Humane, have worked with certified trainers and veterinary technicians, and have handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I use positive reinforcement and fear-free methods to form a long-lasting, trusting relationship with your dog. I am currently a full-time student with half of my classes online, so I have lots of flexibility for morning, afternoon, or evening care. I use fear free techniques to ensure your dog is confident and relaxed in my care. Slow, positive introductions and gentle care is my specialty. For large, strong, and high energy dogs, I will run and play with them to match their intensity! My goal at the end of my visit if for you to have an enriched, content dog.

“Ricky was so great with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation for a week. He was Very responsive to text messages, and made sure the cats were well taken care of. My cats were a bit elusive and hesitant at first, but once I saw pictures of both of them interacting with Ricky, I was put at ease knowing they trusted him.”

“Jackie was great. She came back for an extra visit to be sure our pup had another chance to go to the bathroom. We'll definitely ask for her help next time we have to leave our pup at home.”

“Breanna is a life saver. We lost a sitter last minute and had to scramble, and she was there the next day for the meet & greet, prepared and taking notes and asking good questions. The Boys took to her immediately - she even got the shy one out on her 3rd visit. Good communication, great photos. Booking again right away!”

“Craig and Chelsea make us feel very comfortable leaving our fur babies while we’re away. They always provide detailed summaries on what the dogs did while they were visiting and always take lots of pictures. They go the extra mile with little things like seeing a package on the porch and bringing it inside. We are very thankful to have such reliable care nearby and our dogs always seem so well taken care of when we get home! Highly recommend their services”

About: I’ve owned, sat for, fed, and walked dogs of all different sized since I was a child. Current owner of two small pups, but lots of room in my schedule to look after a few more. Former Cat owner, with raging kitty fever. I am available for temporary visiting/sitting jobs in the Greater Portland & Gardiner Areas, where I am Working & Located respectively. I have plenty of time in my day before & after work to visit, and room for sitting SMALL dogs. I first start by showing the pet that I am a friendly presence, I understand familiarization can take time, which is why patience is key. As soon as your pet allows me to show it affection, it is my pleasure & love to match that affection back to ensure that an environment of trust & care is effectively fostered. I can & will feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pets so I can help them still have some of the enjoyment that they get when you’re at home.

About: I have had dogs all of my life and love to spoil them! I have several dog beds and plenty of toys to play with. I allow dogs on my couch and beds. My home is air conditioned in the summer. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. I am home during the day; therefore, I have the ability to care for doggos and ensure they have plenty of playtime and potty breaks throughout the day. My house sits far back from the road and is almost completely wooded front and back. I have 1+ acres of land with a 400 sq ft fenced in play area they can access as they wish during the day. I can also take them out on a lead or leash. I spray my property for ticks every 3 months Mar-Nov.

“Kelly was great! She was so attentive with any requests I had and gave detailed updates! I know my kitties were well taken care of while I was away!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have both a dog and a cat, which has given me hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I take my dog on daily walks, so I’m comfortable handling dogs and making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or overnight care, I will treat them with the same love and attention that I give my own pets. I currently work part-time during the summer and am a full-time college student during the academic year, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. This summer, I have ample time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you're away, I am committed to providing reliable, caring, and attentive service for your furry family members. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box care. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and secure.
