“Abigail is the best! She provided excellent care of my cat while I was on vacation, and was even able to accommodate a last minute additional visit when I was unexpectedly delayed. I would not hesitate to have her back when personable, responsible, and professional pet care is needed. Thanks Abigail!”

About: I grew up with four cats of my own and have sit for friends’ and roommates’ cats in the past. I feel comfortable caring for a variety of ages/personalities. I also have a pretty calm demeanor that even the shyest cats seem to appreciate :)
“Faith has checked in on our two elderly cats on several occasions. She gives them food, water, and medication and cleans the litter boxes. Faith is reliable and easy to work with. We trust her in our home and to be kind to our girls, which is significant to us.”
“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
About: Friends, family, coworkers and mutual friends have trusted me to care for their fur-babies for many years. I have experience with all types of dogs and all types of situations. Whether it be a feed and a quick potty break, walks, or a week long stay, I have consistently provided a safe environment for these dogs. I’m a middle school teacher with a lot of free time in the summer and open afternoons during the school year! I am hoping to fill my time helping your family! I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes in the home. Although, I avoid these messes by being consistent with walks/letting dogs out to use the bathroom on a regular basis. I love creating a safe, but stimulating environment for dogs to spend their energy. As the weather warms up, I love being outside and/or going on walks to get both me and the dog(s) out of the house!
“Jean was wonderful! My shy cat was treated like royalty and was taken such good care of. I was so relieved on my vacation, knowing my cat was being looked after. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Vanessa is the first pet sitter we have tried since moving out of state and we feel very lucky we found her. She is very caring and loving and her house and yard are very well suited for safety and comfort. Both Princess and I felt comfortable after our meet and greet. Princess had an excellent day there with Vanessa and her pup Pepper who is a very sweet and good boy! I highly recommend Vanessa and will definitely be booking more stays with her!”
“My husband and I were in town for a funeral and needed a quick and great person to watch our 5month old Husky. We booked her 2x, back to back days and she was so quick to make space for our baby and we really appreciate that! Amanda was super easy to work with and Koda was so happy to see her the 2nd time around he jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. We also communicated throughout the day for updates and that was really appreciated as a first time puppy mama!”
“Khaila provided amazing day care for my almost 2 year old cockapoo when I had a long work day. She was patient and gentle with him despite him being a nervous boy at first. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“It was a pleasure to have our whippet puppy Fern cared for by Cassidy and Cody while on vacation in Cape May. Cassidy and Cody were so laid back, relaxed and flexible when it came times and days we needed care for Fern. Fern was nervous at first meeting and staying with new friends Gus, (their dog) and their 2 children, but she was wagging her tail and so excited to go back to their house the following day! Fern got extra walks, and even went to the beach with them! We felt very comfortable leaving our baby In their care! I also appreciated getting text and picture updates of how Fern was doing throughout the day. I would definitely reach out to Cody and Cassidy again for dog sitting when we are in the area.”
“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”
“Bailey loves Kate. They played together and went on walks. I felt he was in good hands. I completely trusted her. Such a nice feeling to know your dog is both safe and happy.”
“Catharine was amazing! She worked with us for a last minute booking and was very welcoming to our two doggos. We received photo/video updates that cheered us up while we were away. Our girls came back to us happy and exhausted :) we will be keeping her in mind for our next trip up to Portland. Thanks again, Catharine!”
“Kiley was amazing! She took excellent care of my German shepherd who has separation anxiety. She sent lots of great photos and even sent him home with a toy he fell in love with. She was easy to communicate with and was extremely flexible with my schedule.”
“Sara was awesome!! She took my little one Brody and her pup Moose trail walking. She sent the best pictures of the two of them having fun. I highly recommend Sara and will definitely be using Her for the future. Thanks again!”
“Hannah was excellent. She responded to me quickly—very important when you have left your search til the last day. She was clear, always very nice, calming, and she checked to be sure that my dog, Frances, had a temperament which did not object to the presence of her, evidently mellow, two dogs and one cat—she was just very good at customer service. I felt very secure with my dog staying in her (and her husband’s) care. She (and they) obviously knows and cares for dogs. I had useful feedback from the visit (my dog was fine with her cat—(and dogs)—though she has had very little exposure to cats—so it appears vibes are what count with Frances. ) Hannah was friendly even when I changed my time plans on the actual day, oh-so-gently informing me she would definitely modify whenever she could, but she was dealing as well with other customers’ sometimes conflicting schedules. She was very good!”
“Laura was amazing. She made every things so easy and bent over backwards for my scheduling with Spock since I'm a nurse in the Navy and my hours / my location change so much. Highly recommended. Spock loves it there”
“i would definitely book simon again! he was lovely and very accommodating. he gave a thorough report when i picked up my pet who came home calm and taken care of. i was also impressed by his own lovely, and nicely trained dog. that says a lot!”
“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced, dependable animal lover who understands that your pets are family. My goal is to provide exceptional care while giving you complete peace of mind whenever you’re away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets and have worked alongside my sister in her successful pet sitting business, which has proudly served the Greater Portland area for over 15 years. Through that experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, plenty of attention, and lots of belly rubs (if they approve!). Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and careful attention to any special instructions, medications, feeding schedules, or routines. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. To ensure everyone is a great fit, I require a meet-and-greet before all new bookings. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, answer any questions, and help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide the loving care they deserve! I work full-time during the weekdays, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, as well as overnight stays depending on my schedule. I strive to be flexible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I also require a meet-and-greet before new bookings to ensure we’re a great fit and to help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit.
“Ariana was a true professional and I was beyond happy with her services. She was the first person I tried to care for my Daisy girl and I couldn’t have found someone better. Daisy loved her. She came back exhausted from their adventure which was just what I was hoping for. She missed her when she left. It was a perfect match. Very dog knowledgeable and caring by nature, I feel very lucky!!! Thank You Ariana ❤️ Laura and Daisy 🌸”
“Catharine has been wonderful with our puppy, Casco. We have used her for dog walking several times this week and will continue to use her again when we need some help and are unable to make it home during the work day! She is very responsive, timely, and has followed all directions. I would definitely fecomment her!”
“Faith did a great job walking our two dogs! She was very kind and attentive to their needs during the initial meet and greet and my dogs had a great time on their walk. I feel very comfortable having Faith care for my pets!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for the past five years. I have come to know these pets that I have watched as family members, but have since moved back to California! I have experience with cats and dogs, both my own, and other people that I have watched as well as a few bunnies and even some rats! I am happy to help with cleaning around the house or small gardening activities if necessary during longer trips or anything else that might be necessary for someone to have a comfortable vacation! I hope I can be your go to pet sitter for years to come! I just moved back to the area so I have a part-time job at a winery till about 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but can work around that (just ask!) or any other day of the week! I love making pets feel comfortable and sticking to their given routine. I feel that when the parents are out of town, it can be stressful so keeping things as normal as possible is incredibly important! It’s great to go on walks for dogs and just to have some time lounging around for cats playing with one of their toys. I have experience with mildly aggressive or reactive dogs and semi feral cats and know some tips and tricks to make them feel more comfortable and less scared upon meeting me for the first time.

“Sara is the most amazing sitter I have every had. She was so accommodating, I could finally go on a trip and not worry the whole time that they were lonely. They were too tired. Sara also came on short notice when returning home was delayed due to out of state traffic! Freddy and Brinkley can't wait to see her again, and are looking forward to spending the night at Moose”
