Abbie (Dog Walker and Pet Sitter)
I have been with Greater Portland Pet Sitting for 7 years. I work full-time as an occupational therapist in a nursing home, where my dog Millie comes along daily to bring joy to the residents. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I have always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure every pet I care for feels happy and loved. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.
Lucie (Pet Sitter)
Hello! I am a career restaurant person and started pet sitting officially in 2025! I love animals and especially cats. I am a volunteer cleaner at HART. in Cumberland every week and have two black cats of my own. I consider myself to be very cat savvy and understand their body language well. I'm particularly a sucker for senior cats since volunteering at HART. I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.
Katey (Cat Sitter)
Hello! I have been professionally working with animals for over 10 years. I have worked with a variety of species and breeds. I am originally from Pennsylvania where I first began my pet-sitting journey. I now live in Portland with my rescue cat named Onion!
Miranda (Cat Sitter)
Hi! My name is Miranda. I am an animal lover, especially cats. I have four of my own at home. I am a volunteer at HART. I socialize with the cats but primarily I am a medical volunteer where I allocate and administer various medications.
My work experience is mostly in sales and marketing, but I have always loved working with animals, cats in particular! Each is so special and I love learning their quirks.
Helena (Cat Sitter)
Originally from Europe, I settled in Portland over 25 years ago. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t share my life with a cat, and my favorite breed is hands down the Maine Coon. I have also cared for parakeets, a turtle, lizards, fish, dogs, and rabbits. I recognize the value of patience, attention, and respect when dealing with animals. I genuinely love animals and make sure all pets in my care feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
Rebecca (Cat Sitter)
I recently joined Greater Portland Pet Sitting, and I can't wait to meet your cat(s)! I grew up with dogs, but I rejected the dog-person/cat-person dichotomy when my cat Rey appeared on my fire escape on my birthday in 2016. Rey taught me everything I know about cats, including (unfortunately) how to medicate a chronically ill one.
