Pet Sitting Aims

“Thank you for everything. Orion is happy his family home now but you helped him greatly when we couldn't be there, including brushing him and talking to him.”

About: I can be excited and outgoing, or calm and quiet, depending on your dog’s personality. I’m able to gain their trust quickly, and that’s something I’m extremely proud of. Dogs deserve all the love, support, attention, care (and treatos!) we can give them—and that’s exactly what your dog would receive in my care. I truly care about how a dog is feeling, not just checking the boxes of the basics. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels heard, understood, safe, and cared for to the best of my abilities. I recently got laid off, unexpectedly, so if you need a time/day that’s not listed, please send me a message and I might be able to make it happen! I have a 4 year old mini golden retriever that gets along great with other dogs and she loves little kids too. I’m in a small apartment and don’t have a yard, so it might be best if I travel to you so your dog feels safe and comfortable in their environment.

About: Hi! My name is Bailey! I’m currently a small animal veterinary assistant while also in school to get my CVT.I work with all of animals, and I personally own my own dog, cat, horse and more. I can work with any type of animal. I work Tuesday through Saturday, I have an hour lunch in between the day, which I go and do potty break during that time. Then with them off, I go straight to your house and take care of your pet. I take care of someone’s pet like they’re my own. As a vet tech, I treat every single animal like they are my own and my family.

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

About: Animals have always been a major component of my life. They tend to be drawn to me and trust in my patient compassionate nature. I enjoy training puppies basic manners and have even taught my cat a few tricks. I love being outdoors and engaging with those around me. Dogs appreciate my high energy and positive reinforcement. My schedule is pretty limited at this time. Every day but Tuesday I am either working or attending classes 11am-730pm. Depending on distance of travel it is possible to provide walks beforehand, after, or on a Tuesday. Let's connect and see how I can best assist caring for your fur baby (: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Our activities are structured around a schedule that they'd typically experience to keep stress at bay. Lots of walks, treats, snuggles and play time! Respecting pet parents requests is my top priority. Let me know your needs and we will find something that works (:

“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”

“Merry was absolutely phenomenal! ❤️ She loved our cats, gave them all the attention and care I had asked for, treated them like her own, and sent us pictures every day. Knowing our girls were in such loving and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Merry kept in constant communication, which made us feel even more comfortable and reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our fur babies! I will definitely be booking with Merry again for any future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares! 🐾💕”

“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have been pet sitting since I was young! I have my own dog Ziggy who gets along very well with other dogs but he also has alternative options to stay if your pup needs solo care! Dogs help me fill my days and nights with love and company which we all need in life! I have a flexible schedule, am personable, caring, and responsible! Your dog will feel like they are on a staycation when they are with me in a place that feels like home💖 I'm currently unemployed and have full availability to pet sit! I have a car so I'm able to offer pick up and drop off as well. Overnights and extended stays are more than welcome! I am attentive and give all my attention to the pets in my care. I’m much more patient with dogs than people lol. Making sure they not only have what they need, but also want! I love taking walks with my dog and lounging in my downtime. I don’t have a yard but live in a beautiful NE PDX neighborhood with plenty of options for adventures!

About: Nothing is more important than your furbaby’s safety and happiness! For dogs, I understand leash control, situational awareness, and the value of structured walks. I’m happy to follow your handling instructions so your pet’s routine stays consistent. I have completed clicker training along with foundation and advanced canine fitness courses. For cats, I know they need gentle, calm, and stress-free care. I have experience caring for cats with different personalities and am familiar with cat behavior and body language. I provide reliable drop-in visits that prioritize your cat’s comfort and individual needs. I have a lot of hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I read their body language well and know how to help them feel relaxed and at ease in new situations. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available on weekends from 8am–4pm, and weekdays work too with at least one day’s notice. Tell me what times you’re looking for, and I’ll accommodate as much as possible. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat sitting services. Dogs get structured walks with time to sniff and light play. Cats receive interactive play, enrichment, and calm attention based on what they enjoy. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each pet’s comfort level. Feeding is included as part of your pet’s regular routine, and my focus is on keeping pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free.

About: I've had dogs ever since I was a little kid. From small dogs to big dogs, I have had my share with both. I can walk, run or watch your dog for you. While you take that vacation or time off you always wanted. I work full time, but that doesn't stop me from taking my dogs out for a walk or run. I go home for my lunch to let my dogs out in the yard. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me. I work a full-time job but will still excercise the dogs on the weekdays. On the weekends, your dog can have my full attention. Please, contact me if you have any specific questions for me.

About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m very excited about meeting you’re sweet dog/(s). I have been around dogs my whole life and so they hold a special place in my heart. I love getting to meet new fur babes and I am excited to get to hang out with yours! I am fairly flexible and am happy to accommodate your pups special needs or routines. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text! I will also send you updates throughout our time together. I have a really flexible schedule so I am able to provide whatever kind of care needed. Whatever your dog likes to do I am down for! I like to take dogs to park and go on long walks or car rides depending on your dogs preference. I have experience with all kinds of dogs so I can provide them with the kind of care they receive at home!

“Rachael was awesome with keeping me updated when she dropped in to visit my cats! Even though my cats were super shy she took the time to try to play with them and get them to socialize (even though they were not into it at all). She really cares about animals and is super sweet! Will definitely book again”
