“Kym and Robert have taken care of our dog, Rosie, multiple times over the last couple of years. They are reliable, caring, and keep us updated with photos and messages while we are away. Rosie is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return home. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Rosie is in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kym and Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Baxter had such a great stay with Anne, we love her. This was my first time boarding him, he's a nervous but very social young rescue. He had so much fun playing with Anne's dogs and was so comfortable with Anne. There is a beautiful yard and a very comfortable house they have the run of. I got lots of pictures and updates! We'll definitely be boarding here again!”
“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”
“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”
“Sridevi took wonderful care of my dog, Sasha. I had to book with her at the last minute because of a funeral and she could not have been more accommodating. Sasha was so content at her house in such a short period of time, I was very impressed. Sasha does not usually warm up to people so quickly, so I knew she was in good hands. 🐾”
“I have a very anxious dog and it’s been difficult to find a sitter who gets along with him but Marna has been a total lifesaver. She has been very professional, accommodating, and just delightful to work with, and I highly recommend her.”
“I highly recommend Natalie as a sitter for anyone in need. This was my first time using her services for my dog Chloe, and I must admit, I was initially very nervous about leaving her with someone, as I had never left her in the care of another person before. However, from the moment I met Natalie, I could immediately sense her genuine love for animals. Chloe, who is a rescue and has a history as a breeder dog, is typically very cautious around new people. But, to my delight, Chloe was calm and even allowed Natalie to touch her, which was a huge step. When I expressed my concerns about Chloe potentially feeling abandoned, Natalie reassured me with warmth and confidence that Chloe would be just fine. Throughout my time away, Natalie was quick to respond to my check-ins, sending pictures of Chloe happily interacting with her children and another dog. It was evident that Chloe was having a wonderful time, which allowed me to relax and fully enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be using Natalie’s sitter services again in the future. She is truly amazing, and I am so grateful for the peace of mind she provided. Thank you, Natalie, for easing my worries and helping me have a fantastic time away. I look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Lou had such a great time again with Elisabeth while we were away! We absolutely loved all of the updates and she looked so happy and relaxed in every photo and video!”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
“I recommend Jake. He was friendly and attentive to my instructions for Jazzy. He sent me pictures of her regularly and she was happy and in good shape when I picked her up. I would leave Jazzy with Jake again!”
“Christine is a new favorite dogsitter! I left one of my dogs with her and her canine crew for five days—she came home happy, healthy, and tired after romping around the big fenced yard, dipping in the pool, and snoozing on the couch. Worry-free dogsitting from a true dog lover. Thanks, Christine!”
“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”
“Viva is an amazing Dog Sitter. She took care of a relatively elderly dog with lots of medication’s beautifully with excellent communication and I plan to work with her again many thanks.”
“Molly is so amazing! We love leaving Vargas with her and the pups. This time, we went away for a week and Vargas had an amazing time. We were always in the know with photo updates. Thank you, Molly!”
“Christina took great care of our dog! She provided fantastic photos and updates so we felt at ease. It’s clear how much she loves animals; highly recommend and will use her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a veterinary student home for the summer, and I’d love to help care for your pets while you’re away. I’m currently in vet school and have years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and more — both in clinical settings and at home. My experience includes walking, feeding, administering medications, and managing pets of all temperaments and sizes. I’ve also worked in animal hospitals and have a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and health. Growing up, I cared for my own pets and frequently dog-sat for neighbors and family friends — it’s always been second nature to me. Whether your pup loves belly rubs, playtime, or just needs a calm and reliable presence, I’ve got it covered. I’m responsible, responsive, and will treat your pet like one of my own. Let me know how I can make your pet’s day brighter while you’re away! I have a very flexible schedule with work right now, allowing me to take care of your pet's needs throughout the week whenever you need. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep your animals as comfortable and stress-free as possible by maintaining their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I make sure fresh water is always available and that your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and stimulation throughout the day. I will also make sure to be respectful of your space and tidy up after myself and your pet! Because I’m a veterinary student, I’m also trained to spot signs of illness or discomfort, and I’m confident handling pets with special medical needs or behavioral quirks. Whether your pet loves cuddling, playing, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what makes them feel at home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jenks Landing
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I raised, trained, and cared for my family dog from a puppy when I was in high school. Post college I adopted a senior dog and cared for him for the last couple of years of his life. In the meantime I have been a sitter for friends and family dogs and cats over the years. I am used to giving medications (even when it needs to be disguised) and staying on a feeding schedules. I am very up for caring for senior dogs who want to lay around the house, and equally ready to go on long walks with a dog with more energy. I work from home always, so will be around during the day for pups who like to hang! I'm on the East End of Portland with the Eastern Prom very close by so plenty of places to walk and explore. I am usually out and about in the evenings for a few hours at a time. On the weekends I like to be busy, but can certainly adjust my time when I have a dog or cat around. I have a large one bedroom, and am on the 3rd floor. So my place is likely not good for pets with mobility issues (unless they are small enough that I can carry them). I live very close to lots of nature easily accessible and make a point to get outside often.
“Alma was great with Reynard and sent photos and updates throughout the day. Reynard and Birdy got along well. Very happy that Alma was able to accommodate a last minute booking and we will certainly book her again!”
“Elizabeth amazing! Lots of pictures and great communication. You can tell she really loves caring for doggos and treated my little guy like he was her own. Pretty sure my dog was little sad to have to come back home to me. Ha! Will be using her again!”
“Robin is so great! I’m thankful to have found her and Stella (her pup)! My 3-month old puppy was able to be cared for while I was away. Robin was super communicative and easy going.”
About: Hi, my name is Michael and I am a proud owner of a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and my dog and I would both love to have your pups company. Please let me know if you have any special instructions and I promise your pup will have a comfortable stay with many fun walks. Thanks! I provide 5 walks a day for my own pup and would love for your dog to join. I work from home so your dog will have ongoing company throughout most of the day. I have one friendly dog in a quiet calm environment with no children. I will feed and walk your doggy as requested, and can provide lots of pets as well.
“Savannah was fantastic in taking in our pup for a last minute daycare stay. She was responsive, caring, flexible and so great with our girl Phoebe! Our pup is needy, anxious and a bit quirky but Savannah was great with her. Would absolutely use her again!”
“Marna is just wonderful with our little dog. Marna is conscientious and kind . She is great at keeping us updated with posts and pictures. We highly recommend her.”
“Lindsay was great! She gave us tips on where to find vegan food, where we could park our RV as we were going on a whale watching tour. She took Maddie for walks and sent us pictures. Maddie was very comfortable with Lindsay. Lindsay was always quick to answer when we had questions. We highly recommend her.”
“Annie was fantastic! Winnie is not the easiest of dogs and Annie was gentle and patient with her. She found ways around things that Winnie doesn't enjoy, like being picked up, which is necessary because she can't do stairs.”
“Emily and Kieran took a very good care of our dog! They were very accomodating even on the last minute notice, and were very flexible on the timing, which we really appreciate :) They took Ohsam out for a walk several times, gave lots of loves and cuddles. I can see Ohsam had a great time with the family! Would recommend them during our next visit in Portland. Thank you!!”
“Our pup was very happy at Kylie’s house. It was totally puppy-proof, she was attentive to our dog’s needs and she was easy to communicate with. Kylie and John seem like great people and we would be happy to use them again sometime.”
About: I genuinely love cats and dogs and I would own more if I could! I currently have two cats (Han and Solo) and a dog named Ollie. I understand different animals have different needs and routines. Here to help look after your animals for dog walks, drop in visits, potty breaks, babysitting! I currently work from home and can be fairly flexible and available for your pets needs. I can do early mornings, evenings and drop ins/walks during the day. As I have animals at home it will be best if I look after your pets in their own home. I walk my dog often and he loves other dogs so we would be happy to add another to our daily walk!
“Emilia took great care of my dog Louie who is a bit nervous around new people. Communication was great and I could tell my little guy felt very comfortable with her. Would 10/10 recommend!”
“Christine was a terrific sitter for our dogs and we look forward to using her services again for boarding later this month. She was attentive, kind, and understanding. Above all, she’s an excellent communicator. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: My husband used to train in the canine unit so he’s definitely taught me a thing or two! I’ve had cats my whole life as well! I am patient and loving towards all living beings. I enjoy pet sitting & loving them when their families aren’t around. I am also a nanny and have cared for many pets through the families I’ve cared for. I am available for boarding & daycare Friday-Sundays. Sometimes I have more availability but not always. I am open to being flexible as much as I possibly can. I have a large yard, house is a decent size so pets can all enjoy their own personal space or cuddle together. I don’t have an extra crate but I’d be happy to set one up (must be provided by owner).
About: I have been a pet carer since I could hold a spoon and scoop cat food onto a plate. My family had two cats for my entire childhood; they lived to 18 and 19 years old! I have cat-sat for friends and family for all my life and through this have become extremely comfortable with cats—from the grumpy to the cuddly. I have given cats medicine in most forms that don't require a certification (pills, syringe, in food, inhalers, ointments... just no injections!) and have sitted for kittens, cats with illnesses like chronic respiratory issues, cancer, and severe skin allergies, and have no queasiness when it comes to the realities of life with cats! With dogs, I have more of the proper pet-sitting experience. That has really ramped up in the last year, since we moved to Portland and into an apartment that is pet-friendly. I have loved getting to know each dog and adjusting so they have the best time possible (it can't be easy leaving home for a stranger's house!). For example, one dog tends to have a much better, more peaceful day if I get him out to the woods for a run/walk in the morning before work (who wouldn't!) Another loves to cuddle, so we put a blanket on the couch so that she can snuggle while we watch TV at night with constant pets. Another is whip-smart, so I try to make sure we do extra enrichment/play time. With all animals, I try to go above and beyond and see them as individuals with distinct personalities and needs. :) I am a work-from-home journalist who would absolutely love some company, playtime, cuddles, and more reasons to get outside during the day. Sadly, I travel too much right now to adopt a pet of my own. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to bond with and share my space with an animal! My work schedule is incredibly flexible, but in general I am home all day, with some sort of exercise in the morning that I would be happy to make part of the pet sitting experience, a remote work day wherein I have a lot of freedom to take breaks. I also have a small porch, a medium-sized fenced yard, a larger non-fenced yard, and a beautiful suburban area to walk with nearby parks. I am often away from home for a few hours in the evening, but I am flexible and happy to stay home with an animal if necessary. Flexibility is the name of the game! We live in a very safe area, in a pet-friendly home. It is just my partner and I, two young professionals, in an apartment that regularly hosts animals for boarding. As a previous long-time pet owner and sitter, I am aware of the best practices regarding animal safety (depending on the animal). I prioritize comfort and respect with animals. I think of animals as a member of the family, and will care for their interest and safety as I would a child who was in my care.

About: I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them like my own—with kindness, consistency, and plenty of playtime. I'm great with routines, quick to notice changes in behavior or mood, and always send updates to keep you in the loop. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe and loved. As a teacher on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m reliable, organized, and plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. Whether it's daily drop-ins, feeding schedules, or just making time for extra play and snuggles, I build pet care into my routine with the same consistency and attention I bring to the classroom. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, playtime, medications, litter box cleanup, and more—and I always respect the home like it’s my own. I take time to bond with each pet, offering plenty of love, attention, and calm companionship. I also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and your home is in good hands.
About: I have loved being with my dog Boomer for almost 5 years now, from 7.5 weeks on. I also handled my family dogs on numerous occasions. I am currently in between jobs, so my entire schedule is molded around being available for a pet at anytime. I understand the need to have someone as devoted to their pet as I am. My schedule is very flexible. I have a friendly dog named Boomer, he is almost 5 and loves to go on adventures. Living here in Yarmouth gives me almost immediate access to many parks, trails and dog parks for our pets to go romp around in.

About: I recently lost my 14 y/o Coonhound (Jazzy) She was the bestest girl in the world, and the best friend anyone could ask for.

My schedule is very flexible, in the event that I have to run some errands, I am happy to take your dog for a car ride with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large backyard and in close proximity to trails for long walks that I often frequent. Also, I could not be happier to have your dog hang out on the couch with me while I read or work from home.
