“Emma was wonderful and our dog seemed right at home with her. Emma was very responsive to our messages and also send a few pics of our pup to let us know he was happy. While it was a short stay this time, We will absolutely have Emma watch our dog whenever we are in Portland.”
“Gwen was great! We took a last minute holiday trip to Portland and she was able to watch our dogs last minute while we tooled around the city. She lives in a cute, very clean condo about 10 mins from Old Port. Picked up two very happy pups!”
“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!”
“Extremely pleased with the care my anxious pup receives while at daycare with Aaron, especially since this is Hemi’s first daycare experience. Aaron was very in tune with his needs and preferences, helping him socialize with other dogs in his care but also allowing him to have some alone time when he needs it. Also, really pleased with the flexibility Aaron allows around pick up and drop off times. Hemi always comes home happy and tired.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I am so grateful to have found Nicholas to help care for my 4 m/o puppy. I adopted her as a stray rescue and he has provided the perfect family home setting to keep her safe and happy during my long shifts working in a hospital. He is always quick to respond, and it means so much to not worry about her while I am at work. Most importantly - she is always excited to arrive, and so content and exhausted when I pick her up at the end of the day. To anyone considering booking Nicholas, you will not be sorry!!”
“Rose was a delight to work with and scout had the best time.”
“Alexandra was fantastic! She took wonderful care of my Rusty. She shared pictures and responded immediately to my inquiries about him. Rusty had a great time. I will definitely use Alexandra again.”
“Loon is a very high energy pup, and he came back happy and tired! Anderson did great wrangling our crazy dog!”
About: I was born and raised with dogs, and animals continue to be a huge part of my life. I have an associates degree in veterinary technology, and am a licensed veterinary technician. I have fostered senior and special needs dogs, volunteered with shelters and rescues, and spent years working in a busy shelter/clinic in NYC. I also have a great love and respect for birds, having fostered many pigeons and doves through my former job at a wildlife center. I have extensive experience with feeding, caring for and medicating several species of animals, but my original and enduring love of dogs and cats is at the heart of what keeps me working in this field. I believe that each animal is an individual who is deserving of love, respect and consideration, and improving the lives of all creatures is my mission! I"m currently working part time and from home, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability to arrange time to care for your furry or feathered friend. I currently have one pet of my own - a dove. He lives part time in his cage and part time free-range, so any dogs I take in for boarding would have to do a meet and greet to make sure everyone will be able to peacefully coexist!
“Our Archie loves hanging out with Katy and her dog, Zuni, for doggy day care! Katy is very quick to reply, took great pictures and Archie always seems very happy and well-taken care of when we pick him up:)”
About: I have owned pets my whole life - cats and dogs but also: rabbits, iguanas, rats, ferrets. I have pet-sitted extensively for friends, family members, and coworkers. I have spent countless weekends with dogs and cats, but also the less common - lizards and snakes. I have my own cat - raised from a kitten, and I know how hard it is to leave your animal when you travel. I would love to be that source of comfort - snuggling your pet and sending you lots of photos. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and zoos. I will provide the best of care - and make sure your pet knows they're in for some loving, even in your absence. I am in full-time grad school, so I have a flexible schedule - meaning all my evenings and nights are free and I'm off every Friday - Sunday. I would love to be your weekend sitter and can arrange for morning and evening visits as well. I will follow all your routines, ensuring the pet has consistent and predictable care. I also love sending you photos and anecdotes about their day. I want you to rest assured that I will learn the ins and outs of your pet and their care and step up to the plate!

“We couldn’t say enough about our dogs’ stay with Melissa. We needed dog-sitting on super short notice and Melissa was available and fantastic. Communication was constant, she took our pups out frequently for exercise and bathrooming, and we got pics throughout the day. She was accommodating to both of our dogs, one that is a little hyperactive and domineering, and the other one a little nervous and anxious, and she was great with both. We’d love to have our dogs stay with her on future trips to Portland.”
“Victoria was wonderful and it was clear when I picked him up how comfortable and happy my pup had been with her. She was responsive when booking, communicative during her time with him including sending a photo, and flexible when I was a bit unsure of my timeline. I will definitely book time with her again!”
