“Cats were well taken of and loved the daily pictures and feed back.”


“The kitties had a great time with Haley. She provided us with excellent, detailed daily updates, photos, and kept an eye on some health issues we’ve been tracking. She made sure our lady got her medication twice daily and cleaned up and notified me of some vomit from our older boy with kidney disease. Haley came by for a meet and greet before our booking and we were very impressed by her; she’s very personable, professional, and we could tell she loved kitties and animals and would give them great care while we were gone. She was super flexible when I had to push our trip forward a week due to a personal health reason and I’m glad we made the decision to book with her !”


“My dogs had a great time with Alexander. He is very professional and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend and use his services in the future.”


“Stacey is wonderful! She is friendly, reliable, and great with our cat. Our cat has some behavioral issues and is not the easiest to take care of. He's no sweat for her and he's even starting to warm up to her. Stacey is attentive and thorough with her visits with him. We will be using her again and again! :)”

“Thank you again Nishat. We highly recommend Nishat to watch your pets. Our kitties were happy and so are we. Even though we don’t have strict time expectations, Nishat was prompt every day with pictures!”


About: I am known to my friends as the “crazy dog lady” or the “dog whisperer”. I love dogs. I love being outside. So walking dogs is a no-brainer and my dream retirement job! I work part time from home with my three furry supervisors (my two dogs plus my grand dog sometimes). As I cut back on my professional career, I’m trying to fill that time with things that bring me joy, most notably, dogs. As I mentioned, I have two to three dogs at home, and a fenced yard to keep smaller dogs in. Our dogs enjoy a life of leisure in beds by the fireplace, beds in my home office, on our furniture, and in our bed!

“Julia was great at caring for our pups. She did an hour long drop in and made sure they had some time outside and our pup was not in his kennel while my wife was working. Thank you for taking care of them and helping us out.”


“Jean was wonderful with our aging dog! Because he is diabetic she administered insulin twice a day in addition to feeding, walking, etc. She was great about sending updates and photos. Highly recommend!”



“As always, Amy is amazing with our pup, Kaya! We’re so grateful to Amy for really getting to know Kaya and making her feel so comfortable while we’re away!”


“Viva is so attentive and dedicated to our dog when she comes to walk her! We always get the best photos and reports back from Viva after her visits. She asks about our training goals to keep things consistent for our dog! Highly recommend!”


About: I am an animal lover who specializes in enrichment walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. I have a completely flexible schedule and I’ll be solely focused on Rover this summer and growing this business. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. My pet passed in February due to old age and so we have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into, and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.

“Heather was amazing with our two cats! She was able to give one her pill each morning without trouble. Plus they ate well for her and she sent lots of pictures and lovely notes! We would absolutely hire Heather again.”


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. Although I have two dogs of my own, I have time to care for others. I have been a dog sitter/walker many times throughout the years and have two of my own. I am respectful of other people’s homes and will make sure your pet is safe and cared for.


“Karen and Steve were great with Crosby. He had only been there one other time, but ran to the door and settled right in. This is not his typically behavior. We had a 100% confidence he was well taken care of and will definitely book again.”


“Julie was great! Our kitty Ripley was happy and well taken care of! Julie did exactly what we needed and asked for. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday and not have to worry about if Ripley kitty was okay. Julie was easy to communicate with and checked in so we were sure all was well. We would absolutely reach out and trust Julie to check in on Ripley again. Thank you Julie!”


“As always Lindsay took great care of Tilly! We will continue to have her as our sitter as long as she’s available. Lindsay is the best!”


“Joanna is awesome. Prompt in both the meet and greet and check-in visit. We came home to happy cats and she sent the cutest pictures of the kitties getting lots of lovin’. If you’re considering time away and are unable to bring your furry friend with you, highly recommend Joanna :)”


About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and have enjoyed the experience of teaching my daughters the joys and responsibilities of caring for our dogs. As lead parent, I've been passionate about opting for daily outdoor adventures with my daughters and dogs and have often heard, "Boy, you have your hands full!", to which I have always replied, "I need to keep everybody happy somehow." Romps on the beach or marsh, trail running, and biking or rollerblading the Eastern Trail are just a few of our favorites. Over the past few years, we've said goodbye to our beloved Boss and Kona. We're still craving dog energy around our home and outdoor adventures, and want to assist other families in the Scarborough community to achieve "a tired dog, a happy dog" experience that we've known and love. We feel blessed to have a doggy daycare buddy, Finnegan, with us most weekdays and he is dog friendly. I work from home while my daughters are in school and am off with them during the summer months. We are available to care for your dog throughout the day and evening, and love boarding dogs for overnights. Summer hours are very flexible for walks. During the school year we can walk your dog weekdays after 3:30PM; or as scheduled outside of those hours upon request. My Mondays and Fridays tend to be light on my primary work and I carve out time for doggy adventures and exercise. We can accommodate based on your needs and recommendations specific for your dog(s). Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues beforehand. If any medication needs to be administered, I'd be glad to assist.

“Jayson was very responsive on Rover and extremely reliable. More importantly, he was so patient and kind to our old lady dog even though she was a bit territorial in the house. He understands how pets tick including older pets. I recommend him highly!”


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.

Kimberly T.Star Sitter
“Kimberly has a connection with animals that makes her the perfect fit for taking care of your pet. I have known Kimberly for 20 years and have seen first-hand what an amazing amount of love and caring she has not only for her own pets but any animal she meets. Kimberly is kind-hearted, patient and calm which makes animals, especially dogs, instantly comfortable with her. She has taken care of my dogs many times over the years and they are always excited to see her when she visits. I highly recommend her as a trusted, responsible, responsive and caring person to spend time with your pets.”

Rachael G.
Star Sitter

“I might be biased, but I got to see firsthand just how incredible Rachael is with animals. She treats each dog with the same love, patience, and attention she gives our own. She’s the kind of person who remembers every pup’s quirks, notices when something’s off, and genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure each dog has the best experience — whether it’s adjusting routes for comfort, bringing extra treats, or just offering a calm presence for nervous pups. It’s more than just a job for her — it’s something she truly loves doing. If you’re lucky enough to have Rachael walk your dog, you’re in the best hands possible.”

Brooke L.
“Brooke has been amazing for my dog Finn! Finn is a one year old boarder collie/lab mix, so he has lots of energy. Brooke has always been on time and helpful in taking him out for walks during the day, and she feeds him as well if I'm out later than expected. She replies promptly and updates me throughout the day. I fully trust her with my dog and would highly recommend her for any animal needs!”
