Dog Sitters in Portland, CT

Brooke

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Brooke and Kirk took excellent care of our elderly cat, and they left our house in pristine condition. Brooke sent daily texts, and it was clear that our cat felt at ease with them. We welcome Brooke and Kirk back anytime!

Jagoda

Jagoda and Clayton were such reliable sitters for our cats while we were away - they left the apartment so clean and were a pleasure to be in contact with during their stay. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a very self sufficient sitter for their pets!

Jeannette & Jonathan

Jeanette and her family took great care of our home and our fur babies. They were easy to communicate with and went the extra mile. We came home to happy pets and a nice, clean space. I would invite them back any time.

Lisa & Jim

This is the second sit that Lisa and Jim did for us, so that tells you right away that we liked them enough to ask them back! They are a fun and personable couple whose company we have enjoyed. They stay in regular contact with pictures, and upon our return home the cat is healthy and happy, the house is clean, and they even left a lovely meal for us, truly over and above. We highly recommend Lisa and Jim as pet sitters.

Ayesha

We loved having Ayesha watch our best boy Spot, and our home. She asked thoughtful questions, and she really took great care of both our dog and our home. The house was spotless when we returned and Spot was happy as can be. We would love to have her back any time.

Christine & Mark

Christine and Mark were the perfect pet and house sitters! We went away for 6 days and left our 4 animals (!!) in their care, 2 senior dogs and 2 cats. By night 1 our skittish cat was already comfortable with them (which is rare!) and hanging by their sides. Christine and Mark are both animal people and it shows. They even brought along their own pet first aid kit in case of emergencies! We returned to a sparkling clean home and happy, healthy animals. What more could you ask for? Thanks Christine and Mark!

Cynthia

Cynthia was a great sitter! Sammy had a good time with her and our house was spotless when we returned. We’d have her back to sit anytime.

Kelsey

Kelsey took excellent care of my home and two cats, I highly recommend her as a sitter! I love getting daily picture updates and info about how the sit was going. Kelsey went above and beyond to make my return from my work trip as smooth as possible, including washing linens and remaking the bed.

Marquita

As before, Marquita was wonderful in every way. Took great care of my dog and cat and was flexible when air traffic took a U-turn! She's just the best!

Susan & Joseph

Susan and Joe have continued to sit at various times for our 2 old dogs - one is very frail indeed - and our cat. We remain ever-grateful for their patience, kindness, and common sense care. They also leave the house spotless, the laundry done, and bed remade, along with fresh cut flowers to greet us on our return. We look forward to having them back again in the near future.

Richard & Alessandra

Richard and Alessandra did a good job taking care of our cats while we were away for a week. We appreciated the care and felt our pets were in safe hands. The cats seemed well when we got back, and we’re thankful for their help.

Sarah

Sarah was great with our Yorkie. He's an older guy and Sarah took him all over town with her during her adventures in Charlotte. She sent picture updates occasionally and kept me in the loop on packages received while I was gone. She is super friendly and has a nice disposition. Our Yorkie fell in love with her and would follow her all over the house if she left the room so she is AWESOME with dogs. He never does that. The most important thing I wanted from this experience is to know that my pup was well cared for and Sarah did just that. He got his medication every day and she made sure he ate his food even though he usually doesn't due to the stress of me being gone. The smile on his face during their adventure walks was priceless. She came in the night before I left so I could show her around the house and answer all her questions and meeting her before I left put my mind at ease. She left the house clean and left a sweet note of thanks upon her departure. Her gratitude was heartfelt. Overall Sarah was awesome for our Yorkie. The only reason Sarah didn't get 5 stars is that I've had other people sit for me that went above and beyond what she's done but in no way does that diminish Sarah at all. I can see why she has repeat clients all over.

Julia

I think this was my fourth(!) sit with Thierry Giselle and it was perfect once again - this time she looked after my cat Georgina for a little over two weeks. 

She's so kind and communicative, flat was left perfect and the cat was so happy in her care.  I feel lucky to have had someone so lovely care for my cat over such a long sit, it made my holiday so relaxing. Thank you Thierry Giselle! Georgina misses you already!

Justyna

Beth was an amazing sitter for my cat Franek, I honestly couldn't ask for a nicer, more caring person to take care of my fluffy friend. First of all Beth has agreed to meet few weeks before the actual sit to get to know Franek and also find out everything about my flat: I am eternally grateful for that as it was my first cat-sitting experience via zeewoi and gave me a much-needed peace of mind. 
Beth was very patient, calm and caring around Frank, she did not rush things and really cared about his well-being. She followed my instructions, sent daily updates, I felt completely at ease knowing Frank is in good hands. 
She left the flat immaculately clean and dropped the kitchen with the concierge as agreed before. 
I'd recommend Beth to anyone who needs a responsible sitter for their beloved pet and I hope it wasn't the last time we meet!

Kathryn

Mike and Faye were wonderful sitters!  When our plans changed at the beginning of our trip they didn't even bat an eye.  They had wonderful communication leading up to and during the sit.  We felt totally comfortable leaving our our three high maintenance cats in their hands.  Highly recommend them and would gladly host again.
