“Emily was patient with my shy guy, Earl. I think it says something that he warmed up so much; it takes kind people to win him over. Emily was timely and communicative. I recommend wholeheartedly!”


“Deborah has walked my dog Lucky twice now, and we have future walks scheduled. Deborah has been kind, on time, and has been great with communication. With their background, I feel comfortable trusting them with my boy.”



“Alex was responsive and left nice updates before and after the walk. He was very timely to respond to the walk request and was great with our pup who barks at men in general! He definitely knows what he’s doing.”


“Kathryn was great with our 9 month old puppy! We needed someone last minute to walk Theo and she was very responsive and professional. She came over the night before to introduce herself and meet him. She took great care of him on his walk and even went above and beyond to clean up a small mess he made. Will definitely book again!”


“We are so happy with Lacey!! She is 100% reliable, 100% punctual, a great communicator, and wonderful with our dog Otis! Otis cries with excitement when he sees her :) Lacey is also a really nice, pleasant, upbeat person :)”


About: i’ve been taking care of animals for a long time now, babysitting and lending a home for multiple cats. i worked at a dog training facility with dogs of all ages and sizes i love taking care of my pets and myself. i do not free feed, so i have a nice schedule in place. i can’t wait to take care of other pets! yard is PARTIALLY fenced so we could walk and play around but probably not off leash unless you trust your dog to stay with me!

“Jenna is so great with my puppy! She is patient and consistent. I love knowing that my pup is safe and having a great time. I will definitely keep Jenna as my dog walker! ❤️”


About: I have taken care of cats since I was young and for the past two years, I’ve taken care of my own puppy. I love all animals, providing for their needs, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. When I take care of them, I provide lots of photos and details of what went on during the visit to keep you updated. Your pets are safe with me! My schedule is currently very open, so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your fur baby and provide for their needs. If needed, I can crate your dog or keep them in a pen, whichever situation you have. I’m meticulous about making sure that there is nothing around that could harm your pet and I keep a vigilant eye.

“When we first met Frances, we weren’t sure how our reactive Chihuahua, Benny, would do — but her calm, patient approach won him over almost instantly. She took the time to understand his triggers, worked with him gently, and now he greets her with a happy tail wag. Frances also accompanies our senior family member on walks with our other dog, Bucket, making sure both dogs (and human!) are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time outside. Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals have made her an absolute treasure to our family. ---”


“Brynn was very grateful to have Acoya stop by and give him a potty break and some loving!! She sent a photo and a very accurate description of Brynn being his stubborn self that gave us a good laugh!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for eleven years. My oldest dog was a senior who came to us at 13 and lived to be almost 19, so I became very good at caring for dogs of advanced age. I'm available for house sitting, day checks, and walks! I'm currently unemployed and have access to a car 9am-10pm, so I can check in with your pet whenever, or stay overnight. I'm happy to walk dogs as much as they need, play with them until they're tired, give them cuddles, and I can crate them if necessary.


About: I have lived with dogs all my life and have experience with all types of breeds and dog personalities. Last summer, I housesat four dogs for three weeks and after that I feel I can handle anything. I adopted my dog, Harvey, five years ago. He's a sweet tempered dachshund, but he's got a tendency to wander like most hounds so I'm especially good with the escape artist dog as I know their tactics first hand. As a dog owner, I promise to give your dog the love and attention that I would give to my own.

“Sydney is terrific: always on time, communicative, and otherwise professional. She handled our pup with care, and he always looked forward to his walks with her. He invariably came back with tail wagging. Couldn't recommend her enough.”



“Bre was wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, was very prompt in her communication, provided pictures, and followed feeding instructions. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.”



About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child. My family owned cats, dogs, chickens, goats and a lama and I actively participated in caring for all of these animals. I am currently working part time and have some extra availability during the regular business week. I prefer to work in the mornings but am available and willing to meet any schedule requirements. As a pet care professional, being trustworthy and ensuring safety are top priorities when entering a client’s home. Clients are placing their confidence in me not only to care for their beloved animals, but also to respect their personal space and privacy. I approach each visit with professionalism, honesty, and a strong sense of responsibility. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain clear communication, and treat every home with the utmost respect—locking doors, tidying up after myself, and safeguarding keys and alarm codes. My goal is to build lasting trust through reliability, integrity, and compassionate care for both pets and their environment.

About: I've been around pets all my life, wether it be frogs, fish, cats, or dogs. I've had lots of experience with cats and dogs! I currently have 2 cats, so daily care is engraved into my memory. I love going on long walks with dogs, and playing for hours with cats! I can administer oral medication for both cats and dogs. Having 2 cats, daily care is a must for me. I clean their litter box at least once a day. They both demand to be brushed at least once or twice a day, not to mention they want to be played with and pet, so my schedule just about revolves around my 2 cats. I prefer to take care of pets in the client's home for many reasons. First and foremost is the animal's comfort, keeping them in a comfortable space and environment will help keep everyone calm. Second of all, this helps me see how the animal interacts with its surroundings, what are its habits, etc. Third, I don't have space to house more pets where I currently live, even if I did, my cats wouldn't be too pleased with another pet joining them in their living space.

About: 30+ years experience taking care of pets since I was a child. Everything from dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, fish, ferrets, are in my wheelhouse! medications, injections, or any other special needs or diets can be accommodated. I have a flexible schedule, so taking care of pets fits nicely into my day and routine. I love taking walks and spending time playing with pets of all shapes and sizes. I have pet friendly neighbors with an unfenced yard and secure entry. I take several walks everyday. I live near parks and the river, making strolls enjoyable for all.

“Alex did a fantastic job! Great communication, really helpful with flexible scheduling, and was prepared for the summer heat! 10/10 would recommend 👌”


Jett B.
“I have known Jett all his life and he is a compassionate lover of all animals! He has had his own dog for a short time when he was younger that mostly stayed with his Grandpa. He has also had his own cat Cheshire since he was 13-years old and even at that young age was taking great care of her. He has always shown her love and does not have an authoritarian protocol for guidance. He is more a lover and re-directs Cheshire's attention to something else to avoid whatever she might have been getting into. That all just came naturally to Jett, which I thought was wonderful. He also plays with her whenever she starts to get "frisky". That's Jett's signal to get one of her favorite toys he gets for her, like her favorite "Flying Feather" and she will do the most amazing acrobatics in the air just to try and catch that thing!!! It is amazing! Jett has also been around several other animals at the same time, all at once, it doesn't seem to overwhelm him, he just seems to get giddy inside and enjoys the ride, so to speak. When certain animals do become over-demanding and, let's say, a larger dog starts jumping up on Jett, he does try to calm the dog down and repeatedly asks the dog to sit. Or asks the owner beforehand if the dog has been through schooling or has been trained with specific commands and then will use those exact commands to settle the dog down for no more jumping up on Jett, or anyone else, or on anything that the dog isn't supposed to be jumping on. He has dog-sat several times before when his friends have gone out of town on vacation and stayed at their place for several days. That seemed to work out just fine, all parties were happy at the end of the vacation. Cheshire missed his dad, but Jett has a good network of loving people in his life that made sure that she had someone checking in on her while she was without Jett. There were times when Jett had the opportunity to go home and cuddle Cheshire for an hour or two so both of them felt the love they were missing. Cheshire also currently has an adopted brother, Oscar, so they keep each other company. They have a bubbling water fountain that is continuously running for them along with a scheduled timed feeder as well. Jett took training in High school to become an EMT, so he does have a varied medical experience background with humans as well as animals. He has a great friend that works in an animal hospital in Portland who has taught Jett how to administer shots and how to correctly give animals solutions like antibiotics down the throat, which I know cats and some dogs hate, and other wonderful things. Jett is a responsible pet caregiver, if he stays overnight, he always makes sure that the house he stays at is the way he finds it when the pet owner comes home, and not a mess. He also is able to do walks and drop-ins if needed. I hope you like Jett as much as I do!”
