House Sitting Alabama Hill

“I know Laura as Rene and they did an amazing job watching our husky Luna while we were on a cruise! We expected to have cell and Wi-Fi reception for the duration of our trip but as it turns out we did not. That didn’t phase Rene as they still sent us photos and updates throughout and was able to keep Luna calm during 4th of July fireworks. Rene is a super sitter and we will definitely be using them again. Luna can’t wait for more either”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I can remember. My family has had three dogs, four chickens, and a cat in my life with different needs and routines. I love animals and am able to adapt my pet sitting style based on their needs. My pet sitting experience ranges from a miniature schnauzer puppy to an old farm dog retriever. I will be shadowing at a Physical Therapy clinic, as well as peer mentoring for summer courses, so I will most likely be gone during the day. I am a morning person, so I don’t mind having to wake up early to make sure the pets need to go to the bathroom or get fed. I can adapt my schedule to fit the needs of your pet pretty easily, I am able to juggle many commitments at once. I am very detail-oriented, so I can follow any routine or set of care instructions precisely. Pets can be like an extra family member, and I understand how it is important to find someone you can trust to take care of them like so. I approach every new pet I meet with love and care, and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If there are any special needs or time where a pet needs, I make sure to set alarms and reminders so I don’t forget. When I interact with a pet, I make sure to read their body language so I don’t overstep any boundaries they may have.

“Malia was an excellent dog sitter for us when our regular sitter was out of town! Our boy can be shy, especially when we leave for a vacation/overnight, but Malia was extra patient with him and won him over quickly. We got updates with pictures and Malia was a great communicator! We will definitely be having her stay with our pups again in the future!”

“Maddy was a fantastic house/cat sitter for our two cuties. Her communication is excellent, she carefully followed our sort of OTT directions for feeding and we returned home to happy kitties and a sparkling house. Thank you, Maddy!”

Stacey N.

“Matt was fantastic! My dog can be a little challenging at times, but Matt was determined to make Baxter comfortable with his stay and to become good buddies. He was communicative, took Bax on great walks, left the house clean, and my dog seemed so happy when I arrived home! Will definitely be using Matt in the future and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a great dog sitter!!”

Meagan L.

“Skylar took great care of our house and 3 dogs. She exhibited great communication and sent us pictures of all three pups! Would highly recommend and will use again!”

Adam Z.

“Katarina was an amazing sitter for Zuko. She was incredibly accommodating, gave me continuous updates on Zuko, and went above and beyond with her care. Zuko ended up having some tummy issues and Katarina immediately updated me on the problem and even picked up his prescription from the vet on my behalf. She took great care of the home and was always available to help where she could while I was away. I would 100% book her services again and I am incredibly grateful for her care. Thank you so much Katarina!”

“Sophia came over the day before for a meet n greet and I immediately knew it would be a great fit. She stayed the night with my elderly dog and pup and gave them lots of love. I felt confident they were well taken care of. She sent pictures throughout her stay (which I love)! I plan on using her for over night stays in the future!”

Ali D.

“Jada is fantastic. Took great care of my Bella. Was a fantastic communicator, sent lots of photos which I enjoyed. I will be booking with Jada again in the near future.”

Sam B.

“Trinity did a great job caring for our two dogs and rabbit. She asked questions, was in good communication, and our pets all seemed happy and well cared for upon our return.”

Emily B.

“Angela knows what she is doing! We have two english bulldogs that are very... extra... and are very much our fur children. Not only did she take awesome care of them, but she somehow managed to keep our house clean too! :) Angela goes above and beyond, and we look forward to having her stay with our bullies in the future!”

Lexi T.

“Karson was awesome with my two pups! They were well loved and she communicated throughout our trip. Will book her again.”

Katie B.

“Melia is amazing !!! my puppy and dog adore her and she goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable. Amazing and communication with me. Highly recommend Melia!”

Patti G.

“Adrianna was the perfect pet sitter! She was on time for the meet and greet and Lucky and Nova loved her. When we got back from our trip, our dogs acted like they were well treated. I would definitely recommend and use Adrianna again.”

Kathy R.

“Shayla was very sweet with our kids, especially with our very senior Lady Ume. She kept us updated texting and with photos. Shayla was respectful of our home and we returned home to a clean and tidy house. We have already reserved Shayla for a second visit.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, dogs that have complicated medical needs to dogs that are lax and can do everything on their own. I’ve always grown up with cats as well as a plethora of other animals including fish, lizards, birds, and frogs. I’ve housesat for multiple people over the years and have received much positive feedback! I’m working evening at a restaurant from 3pm to 8pm, so it doesn’t cause much shift in my capability to care for your furry friends! I am more than happy to stay at your place in caring for your pets or if easier/preferred, I can stop by intermittently throughout the day to give your pet the care it needs.

About: Ready to adventure with your pets! 🌲 *For more videos & pictures check out my IG: petcarepdx ABOUT ME Being raised with 3 Pugs, a mini Aussie, and 2 chihuahuas, my transition to professional pet care was very smooth! I started at a dog walking company in Portland in July 2021 and recieved a promotion within 3 months. And by Winter 2022 I transitioned to full-time employment as an independent pet care provider. I am very familiar with high energy large strong pups that like to pull sneaky tricks and play 🐕‍🦺 Alongside dog walking, I cat sit frequently! 🐈 I have also cared for specialty pets such as rats, bearded dragons, bunnies and guinea pigs! 🐁 I've taken care of many special needs & rescued pets, and spent a year fostering a sweet kitty! I’m open to every pet! I moved to the bay in August, but prior to my relocation I had established many trusting relationships with clients and provided reoccurring care for their sweet pups & kitties for over a year. It was definitely tough to say goodbye. However, I’m very excited to be creating more wonderful relationships with clients and pets here in Oakland! I am open and looking to take house sitting gigs in Portland and traveling up to visit! I always approach with a gentle and calm demeanor, so animals aren’t overwhelmed. Safety and ensuring their needs are met is #1! I am always willing to follow training practices owners have in place. Please note combo walks are not a requirement and will be up to the individual dogs' needs and client requests. I lean towards R+ walking and prefer to walk pups with harnesses and no prong or choke collars. I love to take pictures and give detailed updates as I find communication to be very essential to pets’ care! Please say hello, I’d love to chat about how I can help take care of your sweet pals!

I currently live in Oakland, California but previously lived in Portland for two years! SCHEDULE -I accept reoccurring walks M-Thr 10 AM - 5 PM -I accept one-time walks outside of those days & times Please include an acceptable time window of arrival in your request. OVERNIGHTS I can provide walks, enrichment time, and attention for pups! I unfortunately cannot watch pups that are unable to be alone as I would like to spend some time outside of the home. Depending on the pups and their needs I’d love to take them on adventures! If adventures aren’t in the cards for them I am still able to provide care in the form of walks, quality time, and enrichment.

“We have some anxious dogs who can take a while to warm up. Charles was great with them, giving them time, being extra patient, but still loving and friendly when meeting them. He came for a meeting and spent time letting them get comfortable with him. He sent updates and photos, and when we got home, the house looked extra nice and the pets were happy and obviously well cared for. I will hire him again and recommend him highly.”

Laura A.

“It's obvious our pup was super comfortable with AJ. Lots of the pics they sent showed him happily chewing on his toys, laying on their laps, and enjoying the local trails. AJ was communicative and flexible around our travel plans which made traveling during the holidays a lot less stressful. Would def use AJ again.”

Angela G.

“Karla was amazing with Suds! I had way too many instructions, and he can sometimes be difficult so I was worried he would annoy a sitter. Karla listened to all my requests for updates and made Suds very comfortable. Would definitely work with her again!”
