“Amy was great and took extra good care To make my nervous dog feel safe and comfortable. She took her to her favorite dog park several times. Amy provided a lot of updates and pictures. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Amanda was extremely flexible with her scheduling. I had 2 sitters in a row cancel last minute for today’s sitting job. Complete lifesaver and Thor absolutely enjoyed his time with her! Can’t thank her enough!!”

“Jackiellen has been perfect for us every step of the way! She's an excellent communicator, flexible and accommodating, kind and considerate. She made the whole process super easy and worry-free. And maybe most importantly, she has a very natural connection with our dog and cat, from the first moments they met. We felt super confident leaving our animals in her care and will absolutely call her again. She asked good questions to be sure she was clear on everything needed. She took great photos and sent just the right amount of updates while we were away. She took great care of our home, leaving it even neater than she found it. Honestly, I can't recommend Jackiellen enough.”

“Sophia was a dream pet sitter for our elderly Oreo. We had to be gone for almost a week and she was a dream!! She sent pictures and took fantastic care of our sweet guy!! Look forward to having her again’n”

“Wow is all that we can say! Amazing experience! Nishat truly went above and beyond for our 12 week old puppy and not only took great care of him but also took great care of our house while we were away for a week. Our puppy had to take different medications and had many needs that we were nervous about but Nishat put our minds to ease and met all his needs and I was amazed at her knowledge, care and treatment of our puppy and our place like they were her own. She sent us updates every day to let us know how he was doing and it was so clear to us that he was in good hands, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. She was so responsive and present and it was by far our best experience on Rover. I really can’t recommend Nishat enough for anyone looking for a sitter. We would not hesitate to hire her again. There’s no one else I would rather have watch my baby. She’s the best! Thank you so much Nishat we appreciate you!”

About: Hello fellow animal lovers! I grew up with both cats and dogs - over 20 years with both and I love them all. From a Shetland sheep dog to a Great Dane to lovely shelter mutts, I love getting to know pups' unique personalities. I also have a special talent for winning over standoffish cats - just give me a couple of days. About me - I'm and education and training professional working a hybrid job based out of Portland, Maine. From northern California originally, I love exploring the coast, traveling, reading, and sketching & painting (poorly - but no one says you have to be good at your hobbies!). I travel too much to have a pet of my own right now, so I hope you'll let me play with yours! I work a hybrid job, meaning my schedule allows for full-time with your pets Thursday evenings through Monday evenings (in the office Tuesday through Thursdays). I am happy to discuss specific needs and schedules with each client. I will do everything I can to provide safety and comfort for your pets while you are away. If you'd like any addition house care for your home (e.g., watering plants, picking up mail) please let me know! Outside of caring for your pets, I am open for general house sitting.

“Sergey was great! We hired him for house/dog sitting while we were away for a long weekend and he made it so easy for us. The dogs liked him, and he clearly gave them a lot of attention. When we came home the house was spotless. You would have had no idea someone had been staying there for 4 days. He was very easy to get ahold of, and followed up a few days before the booking to confirm and schedule a second meet & greet. Would absolutely recommend.”

“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:)”

Pearl N.

“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!!”

About: I bring a lifelong love of animals and a wide range of hands-on experience. I grew up caring for animals of all kinds, have walked dogs and supported adoptions in shelter environments, and have provided reliable in-home care through years of house sitting. I’ve also lived with and fostered cats for most of my life—including young, feral, and undersocialized ones—which has given me a strong intuition for reading animal behavior and offering calm, compassionate care. I'm skilled in administering all types of medications and am happy to handle the day-to-day tasks, from walks to litter box deep cleans, with real care and attention. As a self-employed person with a very flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week—including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to tailor my availability to meet the specific needs of each pet and household, whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or walks at off-peak hours. When boarding cats in my home, I provide a calm, private room just for them—completely separate from my own cats—to ensure they feel safe and stress-free during their stay. In a client’s home, I’m attentive to any specific routines or safety needs, including crating dogs if requested. I always prioritize a pet’s comfort and well-being, keeping their environment clean, secure, and aligned with what they're used to.

About: Hello! I have been professionally working with animals for over 10 years. I have worked with a variety of species & breeds. I am originally from Pennsylvania where I first began my pet-sitting journey. I now live in Portland with my rescue cat named Onion! I have a packed schedule of weekly regulars but I would love to help out with extra housesitting or vacation visits! I have worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, abilities, & temperaments! I have been trusted with animals for over 10 years & have created a great bond with all of my past clients (pet or human kind). I love to send frequent updates on your pet through text or email to help give peace of mind!

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and gerbils. I grew up with many dogs in my household of all sizes and ages. I've cared for many cats as well, including spicy and shy cats. I am active and enjoy running and playing with dogs! As a part time job I teach pickleball clinics. I know the importance of being respectful and patient with animals, tuning into their needs and individual personalities. Vegetarian for the animals! After a successful IT career for 11+ years, I am now a student going back to school to get my master's in social work and have open availability for pet care throughout my week. I am very respectful of the needs of my clients, and make sure that their pet and home is well cared for! Communication is my strong suit and I will make sure to send photos and texts regarding care!

About: Hello! I would describe myself as very patient, active, and involved! I have four years of experience pet and home-sitting for all pets! I am happy to help with household chores and enjoy working with families to provide the best care for furry (and not furry friends)! I am a doctoral student so my day to day time is somewhat flexible! I am a morning person who enjoys long walks, so energetic pets are welcome! I grew up with multiple giant breed dogs, rabbits, and lizards, so I have experience with most pet needs! I am happy to walk, feed, and keep your pets company!

“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.”

“We're so happy to have found Isabel! We had two unsuccessful meet ups with sitters who our dog reacted to. When we let Isabel know this prior to our first meet up, she came prepared & did everything she could to ensure it went well. The third time really is the charm because he took to her instantly! She was very communicative and sent us adorable photos of the two of them cuddling on the couch. We look forward to working with Isabel again!”

About: I've always been a reliable dog-watcher for friends and co-workers and am looking to bring that care and love to your dog! I don't have a dog myself due to apartment restrictions so I will shower your dog with all that stored up love and affection. I've had experience with dogs ranging from 1 year old to 6 years and small dogs (10-12 lbs) to larger ones (80 lbs) as well. I love dogs of all kinds! I am primarily available for house-sitting, drop-in and walking opportunities. I'm very communicative and would share pictures and updates as desired. I love experiencing each dog's unique personality. I'd love to meet your dog to make sure you're both comfortable and I can learn any necessary information about your dog. Reach out with any questions! I work remotely so taking care of a dog would fit around my meeting schedule as needed but I can be pretty flexible with what the dog needs. I primarily offer house-sitting opportunities as that fits in best with my work from home schedule and I'm not able to have dogs in my apartment.
