House Sitting Bagley Downs

“Anthea is amazing! This is our second time having her watch our dogs and it is so nice knowing the level of care and attention they will get while we are away. Anthea had great communication during the entire stay and sent us daily updates with lots of photos. If you are looking for reliable and exceptional care for you pet, look no further. We already have our next stay booked with her later this summer.”

“Eva was wonderful with our two dogs Carly and Rose!! The dogs were content and happy and we could tell she spent time with both of them making them feel comfortable. Thank you so much Eva, will definitely use you again!! 💞”

“Amy was great to work with. She gave us daily updates and adorable photos, took Winter for lots of walks and backyard play time, and left the house in great condition. We would absolutely rebook with her!”

Michelle H.

“Went above and beyond watching our two dogs. We had a very last minute trip planned the day before we left and Kayden was very professional and quick to respond. Our two dogs were super happy and clearly very comfortable and well taken care of when we got home. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip and got regular updates on how the dogs were doing. He followed all instructions and even our smaller dog who can be shy and afraid of new people became his shadow and played with him the whole time we were gone. Kayden even left our house cleaner than when he arrived. He is clearly very compassionate and caring towards animals and we will definitely hire him again for our next trip!”

About: I’ve spent much of my life caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, many cats, and other pets! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, whom I trained in basic obedience as well as agility-course tricks (although I am not a formally trained or certified dog trainer), and cats. More recently, I’ve pet-sat for the cats and dogs of family and friends. This has included caring for an older pet with mobility limitations and a pet with complex health needs and a medication schedule. I understand how important it is to follow an owner’s care instructions carefully, especially when medications or special routines are involved. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to play, provide enrichment, groom, go for walks, or simply give plenty of attention and snuggles while their people are away. I’ve even walked cats! I’m detail-oriented and appreciate thorough care instructions. As a graduate researcher, I’m accustomed to following detailed protocols, keeping careful track of schedules, and paying close attention to small changes—skills I also bring to caring for animals. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a graduate researcher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care throughout my day. My research schedule varies from week to week, but I keep my Rover calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can reliably accommodate. For house sitting, I’m able to spend mornings, evenings, and overnight with your pets while working around my university responsibilities during the day. Because much of my academic work can be done on my laptop, I can often study, read, or write from your home while keeping your pets company. For drop-in visits, I plan visits around my daily schedule and make sure I have enough time to provide attentive care rather than rushing through a visit. I appreciate having a few days of advance notice whenever possible so I can plan my schedule around your pet’s routine and care needs. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions you provide, including feeding, medications, walks, litter-box care, and any household or safety precautions. I’m detail-oriented and genuinely appreciate thorough written instructions, especially for pets with medical needs or established routines. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal behavior, feeding and bathroom habits, medications or health concerns, and anything that might frighten or trigger them. For dogs, I also want to know about leash behavior and how they respond to other dogs, people, wildlife, and unfamiliar situations. I respect each animal’s boundaries and won’t force interaction with a pet who is frightened or wants space. I also pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, drinking, bathroom habits, or mobility and will communicate with you promptly if something seems unusual. In an emergency, I will follow your emergency-care instructions and contact you and/or your designated veterinarian as appropriate. When house sitting or providing drop-in care, I treat your home respectfully and make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secured when I enter or leave. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Heidi was amazing with our two boys! We just moved to Portland from out of state and it is a scary thing to have to find someone that you trust with your fur babies, but Heidi was great from the start. She came over a day before her stay to meet the boys and for us to show her around. I felt at ease right away. We have her booked for two more stays and have no hesitation booking her again.”

“Jung was so patient and sweet with my nervous pup. She took so much care to help her feel comfortable and loved. Jung was very responsive in our communication and asked questions to make sure she was attending to my pup’s needs. Jung is a highly responsible, dependable, and communicative sitter that I would absolutely trust to take care of my pup again. Plus she’s just a cool person all around. I’m fortunate to have found her! Thank you so much, Jung!”

“Alexis is a great sitter. She watched my puppy Lucy overnight and communicated very well things that came up. Not only that, she is caring and compassionate. I will use her again and recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to large lizards, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I believe in providing the highest quality of care and an enthusiastic about engaging with your animals. A lot of people tend to thing that animals, especially cats, only require the bare minimum, but the reality is that for the best quality of life they need consistent and engaged care. To me this means deep cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they’re cleaned at least once a day, cleaning bowls regularly, engaging in active play and exercise/mental stimulation, and being patient when shy animals need time to warm up. Leaving your animals is hard—on both of you—having someone you can trust and rely on makes all the difference. I am so excited to meet your pets and give them love. I currently work from home full time but can flex hours where needed or work from any home that has wifi and a place for me to set up. I am passionate about making sure that spaces I am in are safe, comfortable, and clean for your pets. This means that I am also available to provide light cleaning while I am there. I am especially skilled with shy or easily scared animals and have a lot of experience working with them to get used to people. I currently only take pets in my home that are comfortable and non aggressive towards cats. The animals will be separated by floor (boarded animals stay on my first floor) and a baby gate to minimize any potential issues.

“Crystal was great with our pittie mix Daphne and was a fantastic house sitter! Would recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight dog sitter!”

“Brigit was amazing taking care of our dogs and house while we were away for a week. We got daily updates and she was very aware of our dogs' moods and what they needed. It really made it so we could enjoy our trip knowing our girls were being taken care of.”

“Kaitlyn was great! She communicated clearly and often! Sent pictures of our dogs and made them feel loved! Would definitely have her sit again!”

“Rachelle took great care of our active dog, senior cat, and our home while we were out of town. She came over on her own for a pre booking meet and greet, checked in with us regularly while we were away, sent photos and kept us updated, and left the house clean and respected the space. We'd def book her again. Thanks Rachelle!”

Jacquelynn Y.

“Carmen was wonderful and very communicative. She took great care of Pugsley and left my apartment cleaner than when I left it. I’d 100% book with her again!”

“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. ​"I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”

“Brooklyn is a dog whisperer! She took incredible care of our two dogs! She was so sweet, our dogs loved her, very communicative, lovely photos, and extremely reliable. Highly highly recommend her! We will be booking with her again.”
