Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Carter Park

“Felicia took great care of my two cats while my husband and I were away for several days. I received updates every day with photos and details on the visit. I have already rebooked! ☺️”

“Natalee is great with animals. We were on vacation for a month and she took great care of our pets. I would definitely ask her to help us again.”

Angela H.

“Rebecca was great! She’s so kind and sweet and our cat immediately took to her. Asked questions to make sure she had everything covered and that we were comfortable with her. She was great about updating us with photos and what she was doing. It took off so much stress from us. We will definitely be using her again!”

Hanna D.

“Jennifer is absolutely amazing. She has watched my two cats on numerous occasions since the start of this summer and it is so great to have one less thing to worry about knowing she's stopping by. She always helps with extra things like making sure my garden is watered and checking if doors were left unlocked by accident. She is incredibly flexible and is always kind enough to help when work keeps me away from home longer than expected.”

Kara H.

“Sheila was great with our cat! She spent extra time and sent lots of great photos and videos. Great communication throughout. Would happily recommend and rebook.”

About: Aside from my professional history as a wildlife biologist and former Oregon Zoo keeper I am a life long lover of dogs, cats, and all animals. I am experienced in all aspects of animal welfare from puppy training to administering senior dog medication and clipping cat nails. I'm in shape to handle any sized dog in the event of aggressive leash pulling or needing to lift a dog in case of emergency. I bring professional animal handing experience and an innate understanding and empathy towards animals. Recently furloughed Government wildlife biologist, I am currently available 24/7 if needed. I have my own animals at home I need to care for but between my wife and myself I have a flexible schedule and should be available whenever you need me. I'm experienced with all level of dog, cat, reptile, etc. care at all ages, including training. I can do multiple feeding a day, administer medication, walk, play, crate train, etc. I have an enclosed backyard in a quiet neighborhood that is safe for dogs of all sizes.

“Carol was absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs. I could tell from the photos that they truly felt happy and safe. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work Thursday/Friday & Sunday/Monday from 10-6:15. Besides that I’m fully available to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Sadie was so helpful making daily drop-ins on our cat, while we were away. She was gracious in having to clean up quite a few messes he made, she made sure his food, water, and litter box were kept fresh, and she spent some time with him each day to keep him from getting too lonely. She was very easy to communicate with during our trip. Thank you, Sadie for taking such good care of our kitty!”

“We left our Cat and Rabbit with Nicole for over a month while we had gone overseas. Based on a pre agreed schedule Nicole promptly came for a visit. She did all the chores for the pets and spent time with them. Both the pets were well looked after. I would gladly use Nicole again and would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”

Rittu P.

“Claire has truly gone above and beyond. She connected us to our new vet after we recently moved to the area, and after Luna had a pancratitis flare scare, she talked me through a similar experience she'd had with her own dog to set me at ease and checked in on Luna to make sure she was safe and comfortable, sending frequent video updates. We could not possibly be more thrilled to have found such a compassionate, caring, knowledgeable sitter. The peace of mind she has given us is priceless. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!!”

About: Hello, I’m Fran—a devoted dog lover and experienced guardian offering a highly personalized, in-home care experience for a select few dogs at a time. When you’re away, I offer your dog more than just care—I provide a true holiday of their own. Each dog is welcomed into a calm, thoughtfully held environment where they are not just looked after, but genuinely known, understood, and cherished. I believe we don’t own our pets—we’re entrusted with them. My role is to ensure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and deeply loved, with a sense of ease and belonging. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Each one arrives with their own story and personality, and it’s a joy to watch them settle in, open up, and truly thrive. Because I work with a limited number of families, I’m able to offer an experience that is unhurried, intuitive, and deeply personal—something both dogs and their people can feel completely at ease with. If you’re seeking a more intentional, personalized experience for your dog, I invite you to get in touch and explore availability. I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses. I live in Vancouver, Washington, with my 8-year-old black lab mix, Murphy, who loves humans and other dogs and is non-aggressive. My home is well-maintained with a large deck where dogs can play and relax.I work from home which means your 'kids' are never left alone for long periods.

“Excellent care for our kitties while we were away for a week! Marcus gave an update daily and it was clear he picked up on the kitties’ personality quirks right away. We came home to happy cats. Would definitely book with Marcus again.”

Julia H.

“Makayla was wonderful. Very nice polite respectful and communicative. She kept me posted and I feel comfortable having her in my home while I'm away.”

James W.

“Autumn was a great caretaker for our critters! She was very detailed in her updates and we felt comfortable leaving our pets in her care. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on dog care experience, We’ve fostered more than 20 dogs since 2020 and spent 3 years volunteering at a dog rescue, focusing on training, exercise, and support for both reactive and rescue dogs. We also have two cattle dogs and specialize in positive, consistent puppy training. We have two cats as well. I (Zach) work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. I'm happy to adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in your absence. I (Janexis) I'm a Teacher and I'm available after 4pm and weekends. One of dog required weekly shots, so we have experience administering injections. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we follow a structured, consistent routine tailored to each pet’s needs. We use positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behavior, always prioritizing your pet’s comfort and well-being. We're experienced with crate-trained dogs, but we’re also more than happy to share the couch or bed with your furry companion, just like home. Our goal is to maintain your pet’s routine while providing a loving, stress-free environment in your absence.

“Sienna is so amazing with our cat, hallow! She is usually so shy with others but warmed up to Sienna right away. 🖤”

“So appreciated Julia being available last minute and working with my crazy life! Dogs were fine when we got home and she left a card and sweet little candle too. I don’t get to go much, but, when i do I will be looking for Julia.”

About: Molly, my 10-year-old Border Collie-Beagle mix, has been my girl since she was just 6 weeks old — and honestly, caring for her has been one of the greatest joys of my life. We walk about 7 miles together every single day, so I take pet care seriously. She has my whole heart, and so does every animal I’ve ever cared for. Over the years I’ve looked after lots of dogs and cats, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality — figuring out what makes them feel safe, what gets their tail wagging, and how to give them exactly the kind of care they need. Every animal is different and they all deserve to be treated that way! When your pet is with me, they’re not just being watched — they’re being loved on. I know how much it means to trust someone with your bebe, and I genuinely don’t take that lightly. Bonus: I’m a portrait photographer and nothing makes me happier than documenting a perfect pet — just say the word! 📸 I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and presence to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-ins and walks throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests — I know life doesn’t always give you a heads up! For drop-in visits, I treat your home and your pet’s routine with the utmost respect — I follow your instructions to a T and make sure your bebe feels safe and comfortable in their own space. I have a dog of my own, Molly, who has been well socialized her whole life, and I approach every pet’s environment with the same care and attentiveness I bring to hers.

“Mandi was fantastic! She made sure my kitten got plenty of exercise and stayed active, and she was incredibly responsive throughout. I felt totally at ease knowing my pet was in such caring and capable hands.”
