About: Pets bring comfort and joy to your home! You deserve a sitter you can trust and will care for your pet as thoughtfully as you would. I'm currently working part time, so have plenty of free time to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible to meet your needs. My own cat is joyful fluffball who makes me smile everyday. I also take care of my sister's dog when she needs help. I love animals and will enjoy taking care of your pet.

“Can't recommend Kimberly enough. She goes above and beyond taking care of my dog, Indy, who loves her. I'm really grateful to have found her.”


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: 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.

“Christine was very reliable, great communication through the app and was so lovely with caring for our newly adopted 1 year old dog Annabelle. We will be booking her again soon!”

About: I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals. I have had dogs since childhood and currently have two of my own. Both of my dogs are rescues, a senior rat terrier/chihuahua mix and a reactive min-pin, so I understand how important it is to have a reliable and trustworthy sitter. I work from home full time and have a flexible schedule. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have. I work from home full time and can work around your schedule.

About: Hi I’m Nishat! I was born and raised in Manhattan and I moved out to Maine shortly after graduating college. I’m currently working remotely. I’ve always loved being around animals and loved taking care of my friends pets. I currently have my own fur baby named Cruise (she’s a 5 year old Black Maine Coon). I can’t have more pets at the moment, but I definitely want to spend more time with animals. My schedule is very flexible so I’m always happy to figure out how I could fit your pets into my schedule! I can do check-ins through out the week as long as they work around my meetings. As you can tell by my reviews I will love and take care of your pets like they are my own. Not only will I take care of your pets, but I will always make sure to tidy up before I leave your place (depending on whether you hire me for house sitting or Check-ins). I’m responsive and I’m good at communicating to make sure I meet your pets needs. I live in an extremely safe quiet, clean, and friendly neighborhood. There’s tons of field space in the back for your puppies to run around and play.

About: I’ve cared for family dogs and a cat my whole life, including senior pets with complex needs—so I understand how important patience and gentle care can be. For the past 5 years, I’ve also pet sat for friends and neighbors, from energetic puppies to older animals needing medication or extra help. I recently moved from Atlanta to the Portland area for a full-time job, and leaving my family dogs behind was one of the hardest parts. I work 4 long shifts a week, which makes having a pet of my own tough—but I have plenty of free time, love, and experience to offer yours. Pet sitting and walking helps fill that gap in my heart, and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time Wednesday through Saturday from 9am to 7pm, but I’m available for walks or check-ins before or after my shifts. I have open availability on Sundays through Tuesdays and plenty of flexibility to offer quality time with your pet. I’m also available for overnight stays—even on my workdays, as long as I can head out by 8am. Pet care fits naturally into my life, and I genuinely enjoy making time for it. While I can’t have pets in my apartment, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in your home where they feel most comfortable. I offer overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks, and can help with feeding, fresh water, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I’m also happy to transport pets if needed. I treat every animal like they’re my own—keeping them safe, happy, and relaxed while you're away.
