House Sitting Westbrook

“Renee was great with Olivia and was prompt about checking in and sending photos. She gave her antibiotics along with regular care. Will definitely ask for her back!”

“We LOVED working with Christina! She gave us reassurance during our meet + greet that she was going to be a perfect match for our pups and she certainly went above and beyond! We came home from our trip to happy, well fed and well loved pups. :-) Christina provided many picture updates and feedback on how the pups were doing throughout her stay. Most certainly will be asking her to house sit again in the future!”

“Shannon did an amazing job sitting our dog on two occasions! Kept us updated and was super accommodating. Highly recommended for any pet service you would need!”

About: If begging my parents for a dog since birth counts, I’ve been a dog lover for 50+ years. In terms of actual pet ownership, I’ve owned and loved my cats and dogs for the past 25+ years. In addition to having my own fur family, I’ve also happily sat or walked my friends and families. I’m heading into retirement and will have oodles of time to keep your pets company while you’re at work or taking a fabulous vacation. I’m available for house sitting at any time. And currently available for dog walking Friday though Monday. In a few months, my dog walking schedule will free up to 3-4 days during the week. Having raised animals and kids, I know routines help everyone feel confident and safe. I respect whatever you know your animals need. As an example, if you need me to take them on long walks, cuddle on the couch, or bring them for a fetch and swim in the lake, I got you covered.

“Sparrow took great care of our pets and house. They kept us informed of their stay and were very responsive! They asked great questions and clearly have a lot of experience house sitting.”

About: I am an experienced dog walker and pet sitter! I love animals of all kinds but I feel especially comfortable with dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs (you'll see my family's dog in my profile picture!). I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for friends and family for years. I enjoy spending time outside and I am a very reliable worker. My priority is your dogs safety and comfort. I feel very comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I have been interested in dog training since I was a kid. I have a flexible schedule so please let me know what works for you! I am looking forward to meeting your pup! I have a very flexible schedule right now! As a graduate student I am able to take on pet care during the day at any time. I am committed to ensuring your pet’s safety! I always make sure harnesses and collars are secure before leaving the house. I will always wear a mask as I come into the home!

“Shirley was wonderful with Sammy. She was very communicative and provided great updates. Our pup was sad to see her leave. We'll be sure to have her sit for us again without hesitation.”

About: I’ve had an animal in the house since I was 8, giving me years of experience. I’m comfortable caring for all types of pets, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and at home.

Message me to discuss how I can care for your pet! Your pet's safety and comfort is my priority. I provide a secure, pet-friendly environment at your home, with constant supervision and personalized care.

“I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! Leaving my high-needs, anxious dog for a work trip is always a source of stress, but Ryan completely put my mind at ease. From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Ryan is not only a true animal lover but also incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My dog requires a lot of extra attention and can be quite nervous with new people, but Ryan handled him with such a calm and confident demeanor. I received regular updates, including photos that showed my dog was not just being cared for, but was comfortable in Ryan's hands. This consistent communication was invaluable and allowed me to focus on my work knowing Oliver was okay. Ryan went above and beyond to alleviate his anxiety and let him have the space he need to feel comfortable. I returned home to a happy, relaxed dog, which is the best indicator of the excellent care he received. In addition, the house was spotless which is always nice to return home too. If you're looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, compassionate, and truly understands how to care for anxious or high-needs pets, Ryan is absolutely the one to choose.”

About: Hi!! I'm Mia, a student living in Portland, Maine. I grew up with dogs and have cared for family and friends' pets for years, so I'm comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, and routines. I have hands-on experience giving dogs insulin injections, so if your pup is diabetic, I can stick to their schedule and keep an eye on how they're doing. I also have a cat with medical issues of my own, so I understand how much patience and attention a pet with health needs takes. I send photo and text updates after every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. With my current schedule I prefer drop-ins and walks, but I'm open to boarding, house sitting, or anything else you need. • Mon/Wed/Fri: afternoons and evenings (after about 1 PM) • Tue/Thu: lunchtime walks and drop-ins • Sat/Sun: wide open for walks, drop-ins, and overnights But can be flexible Walks and drop-ins (in your home) • I'll go over your pet's routine, feeding, meds, and emergency contacts at a meet-and-greet before the first visit. • Dogs stay leashed on walks, and I use your preferred collar, harness, and route. I don't let them off-leash or approach unfamiliar dogs unless you've okayed it. • I carry waste bags and water, and I'm careful about ice, heat, and busy roads, especially in Portland's winters. • I lock up when I leave, and I never share your address or key details. • I send a photo and text after every visit, and I'll tell you right away if something seems off. • I follow your vet's feeding and medication instructions exactly, and I log doses and times for pets on insulin or other meds.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. I have experience taking care of my own dogs and helping care for family members’ and friends’ dogs as well. I love spending time with pets, whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding them, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I am currently taking a course on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the morning. I am available for pet care after 1:00 PM on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. I can be flexible with my schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and calm environment. When caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. I am attentive to their behavior and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. I also respect the client’s home and keep it clean and secure while I’m there.

About: I’ve been dog-sitting for families in Portland on and off for the past two years, along with caring for dogs in my own family. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to senior dogs who need extra patience, gentleness, and care. I’m attentive, loving, and gentle, with a strong ability to read dogs’ cues and recognize what they need to feel comfortable and happy. I understand that younger dogs may need plenty of activity and playtime, while older dogs often benefit from a calm, patient sitter who moves at their pace and provides a warm, reassuring presence. Every pet and family has their own routines, preferences, and expectations. I’m committed to following your instructions carefully and caring for your dog the way you would, so they feel safe, loved, and right at home! I work remotely from 9–5 Monday through Friday, so I’m available every evening and on weekends for pet care. Since I work from home, I’m also happy to provide longer daytime stays or overnight care, as long as I’m able to work from your home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication for every pet in my care. Before a booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications, exercise preferences, and any potential concerns. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets so I can respond quickly if anything seems unusual. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep doors, gates, and other escape routes secure, maintain a clean environment, and make sure pets have access to fresh water, food, and a comfortable place to rest. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away!

“Silva did amazing! Teddy was so sad when I came home and was looking for her lol. I felt like I had a friend taking care of him with all the photos and conversations. Thank you so much for taking care of him ♥️”

“Avery did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Mia! She was very communicative and texted photos and updates throughout the stay. She double checked our return timing and made sure our flight arrived on time prior to leaving. Avery also handled all requested housesitting tasks, and the house was tidy upon our return. We are very appreciative and would certainly book with her again!”

Julie F.

“Alyssa was AMAZING! She sent me so many photos, numerous updates, and everything was so detailed. I felt great having my dogs alone with her and can’t wait for her to come back and take care of them. Highly HIGHLY recommend!”

“Andrew is on top of his class! Not only did he provide the utmost care and attention to our 14 year old dog (Ninja) all day and night, but he kept us informed about Ninja’s adventures and sent pictures and fun stories. Andrew stayed in our home overnight for 4 days and he kept our house immaculate and safe. When we returned home, he had a crackling fire in the fireplace (on the TV), and soft classical music playing in our home. A first class experience all around for sure! Thank you Andrew. You’re the best, and Ninja seconds that! Woof award!🥇”

About: I am an active woman who specializes in tiring dogs out! Great with high energy dogs that you maybe don't have time to exercise every day. Also great with snuggly couch potatoes! Want to get your dog some socialization? I’d love to take them to the dog park, if they’re comfortable there. I have many years experience with my own dogs as well as prior experience working in an animal shelter with a wide variety of pups from different backgrounds, with lots of energy levels and socialization needs! In addition to running or walking your dog, I can also stop by to let them out for bathroom breaks or a romp in the yard if you unexpectedly work a little later than usual. I am an artist that works primarily from home, so I am able to hang out with your pup all day! I am a homebody & enjoy the company. This also means your pet will get constant attention! Provided your dog is okay with cats, they will either have free range of the two-story house (with plenty of nap spots) or they will be baby-gated into a cat-free zone. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a small yard, so walks would be on leash to wherever we wish to explore! Dogs are allowed on furniture here if that is okay with their parents ☺️
