Pet Sitting Centennial

“I would hire Adnan again in a heartbeat. He went above and beyond for us and was super nice and easy going. Could not have asked for a better pet sitter for our long vacation!”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. I know there are a lot of people on this site, who fluff their profiles and just do this for extra money. But, my life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a deep understanding of dog psychology and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining calm and assertive when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the east Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates and dog run fencing in our fenced backyard. Open to small dogs for boarding and daycare.

“Roxanne did a wonderful job with our very shy and scared Dolly. She did everything we asked, was prompt, very kind and communicative. We will look to hire her again in the future.”

Jezebel S.

“Heather is an enthusiastic pet sitter! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a cat sitter on rover, but she fit the bill! Her own experience with special needs cats and her obvious love of them means I will be calling her back.”

Lindsey J.

“Anna came for a meet and greet with me and Sunny. Everything went well. Anna stopped by a few days later to take my 8 month old goldendoodle outside for a potty break and to feed him dinner while I was at work. Anna was punctual, professional and provided me with awesome pictures of Sunny and an update text message of her visit. 10/10 recommend.”

Janesa M.

“Emily is absolutely amazing! We went on a day trip and had her stop by to play with our puppy. We had previously had her visit our cats during a week away and she was great! This time around, she come by twice to take our dog out, walk him and make sure he was doing okay. In addition to adorable photos of our dog, she also made sure to send cat updates - which we really appreciated! Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets - yet again!!”

A C.

“Kena did a great job & was very conscientious in her car of Murphy. She asked questions when needed to know something, which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her when booking another reservation!”

Leanna S.

“Jeff has been awesome with my boys, great communication and he treats them as if his own.”

Suze Q.

“Claire was wonderful! She took great care of my dogs during drop-in visits and gave special attention to my older dog as she was recovering from a surgery. Highly recommend her for drop-in care needs!”

Jessica M.

“Great attitude, prompt, communicative, and great with my pups! Lots of experience and knows what’s needed and able to take initiation! Terrific!”

Red M.

“Thank you for being there when we need you - the boys seem to enjoy their time with you. I'm sure we will be rebooking with you again before long.”

Chance C.

“Second time asking her to come and look after our 3 cats!! They like her & we don't have to worry about them when we go out of town. Thanks again for caring for them 😊”

About: We are gentle, caring, and experienced pet parents ready to welcome your pet(s) into our home. I (Alex) have been caring for pets of family and friends for well over a decade. I once worked at the WSU veterinary school and have experience volunteering at vet clinics and fostering. I have always been passionate about animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. My partner Dalton is a work from home dad to our three furbabies and one human baby. We have plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space for your pet(s) to roam. Whether they want to cuddle up on the couch with us, or prefer a quiet, secluded space of their own, we can accommodate your pet's needs. Our goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in our home. If you need drop-in visits or dog walking, I have availability for that too! Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. We value open, frequent communication and would love a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) to see if we are a good fit. I work night shift in healthcare- I have several days off in a row every other week which is when I would be available for pet sitting. This includes weekends and weekdays, as well as some holidays. My partner works from home full-time so is available to help out as needed. We have a large one story home with plenty of lounge spaces for your pet to get comfortable. We also have a large fully fenced, grassy backyard. Our two elderly dogs are good with other dogs, but we also have the ability to give your pet(s) their own gated off space, or crate, if needed.

“Brianna was great at taking on a special drop-in visit by taking Judi to a vet appt while I'm healing from an illness. She was on time. Made fast friends with Judi and got her to her appt.”

Shannon K.

“Angela is a great pet sitter and was wonderful with my two cats. She was communicative and made sure to leave detailed notes about how the cats were doing. Really appreciate her and would strongly recommend!”

Tara A.

“Anika came by for the meet and greet and was exactly on time! She is very friendly and personable. She took care of our two cats while we were gone (although she didn't see much of Zipper because he's shy). She sent pictures each day of playing with Pixie. I would recommend her to anyone.”

Lynda B.

“Cassidy thanks for taking good care of Archie. I am glad I was able to use your services for the second time and will definitely use in the future. I appreciate your communication and updates of my little guy. So helpful to know that he is left is good hands. Thanks again!”

DeShawn W.

“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”

Sherry M.

“Ash is a great communicator and excellent care provider. My cat has a number of different medications and she was able to easily provide essential care. It was a relief to know my cat was in good hands while I was out of town.”
