“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.”


“Rachael was loved immediately by my pup! She helped me in a pinch last minute when I needed overnight care. She is kind, punctual, sent me updates & stayed in touch. It’s really nice to not have to reach out about your pet, and to already have updates and photos when you check your phone!!! Delilah and I look forward to working with you again. 😊”


“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!”


“Ayreal was amazing! She was super communicative and cared for our younger dog’s changing needs at every turn. She went above and beyond keeping our dog happy and our house in great shape while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and we will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Jackie was awesome..though Buster was whining when I left Jackie sent me a picture of him as happy as could be. This alone made me feel that my best friend was in great hands..”


“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!”


“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!”


“Stephanie was very responsive to any questions, and best of all the animals were all very calm when we got home. They usually are overly excited when we return from a trip so this was a relief. We feel she did a great job of looking after our 2 cats and dog.”


“Crystal watched my pup for a weekend when I took a last-minute trip out of town. She was communicative and sent pictures of my happy dog throughout the weekend, which made me feel so at ease. I came home to a relaxed dog and my apartment was even cleaner than when I left it! Would hire Crystal again.”


“Devyn was very kind and attentive to our dog Merle! Great communication and truly enjoyed being at our home on an island and taking care of him. She walked him and fed him and followed everything that we talked about before we left. I will definitely have her again and would recommend her any time to care of your dog! Definitely made everything stress free! Thank you!! Merci Devyn!! A la prochaine!!”


“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.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication. I work from home with a lot of flexibility so with proper planning and coordination I can be there to meet you and your furry friends’ needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog who doesn’t mind the company of other well socialized animals. We do have a cat and small child so please consider that before booking. If staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy.

“Madeleine was great! She communicated with me while I was gone about my dog and daily activities. She also left the house spotless and washed the sheets and towels. I will definitely use her again to watch my dog and house sit:)”


“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.”


“The second Silvia stepped out of her car for the meeting, my dog loved her...and that's saying a lot, because he doesn't get along with every human. Silvia has a great personality, and my dog sensed it right away. She was great at getting to know Oliver's schedule and preferences. And she sent me lots of pictures and communicated when she had questions. Oliver had a great time, and I'd definitely ask Silvia back.”


About: I grew up with cats and dogs and have been responsible for walking, feeding, bathing, etc. for dogs of all ages. I am very patient, so whether it’s an excitable puppy or an old hound I’ll always keep my head. Currently I’m available for any days and times that fit the clients schedule, given proper notice. I mostly am looking for people who need walks in the mornings and early part of the day, however I am very flexible. I am very flexible with whatever clients are expecting in their home. I have other work I can always do and would make sure to keep pets engaged as needed. I’m big on treats and reward systems for pups, so I’d always keep those handy!

He is good with dogs of different breeds, sizes and ages- He’s pals with my young, super energetic Boxer/Mastiff mix as well as my older, anxious Bernese Mountain dog. He could also handle my brothers puppy- a mini bulldog with small dog syndrome. He is super easy going; a calming presence for people and pets alike. He’s trustworthy, reliable and communicative- definitely someone you’d want to hire!”
