About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on experience raising and training my own dog from puppyhood. As the owner of a large Shepherd-Husky mix, I'm comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I've also cared for and walked dogs for neighbors over the years, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide attentive care, walks, and companionship. As a dog parent, I'm already spending my days caring for an active, energetic pup and understand the importance of exercise, enrichment, and routine. I love getting outside for walks and exploring local trails and parks when the weather is nice, but I'm just as happy spending quality time indoors with plenty of cuddles. Whether your dog prefers adventure or a cozy movie day on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and needs. I treat every dog like they're part of the family! In my home, your pup will have access to a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. I share my home with my Shepherd-Husky mix, who loves making new friends and is always happy to have a buddy around. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, exploring all the exciting smells the outdoors has to offer, playing fetch, or curling up on the couch for a movie and some snuggles, I'm happy to match their vibe. I provide frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs with an extra-large crate if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I believe you know your dog best. I'll follow your routines, preferences, and instructions closely to help keep your pup comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! I have taken care of senior dogs, including a miniature poodle and a long-haired Chihuahua. I am an animal lover who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!

“Sara was super fabulous- she was timely, professional, and attentive!”

About: Hey there, nice to meet you! I'm Claire, and I've been doing petsitting for around 6 years. I really enjoy being able to spend time with pets and animals of all kinds, I find that it's very fulfilling and calming for me. Over the years I have cared for large and small dogs, cats, birds, and even baby goats! I also had some great pets in the past: a German shepherd who was super sweet, and ducks who had cute quacks and unique little personalities. Since I don't have pets currently (though I would love to one day), it's great to be able to help others out when they need care with their own! ❀ I have experience working longer term with senior dogs + dogs who require extra care, as well as experience with handling and administering medication as needed. ❀ I'm able to adapt to the needs of your pet, generally I am very detail oriented and I like to know how I can best care for them! ❀ I'm a recent grad, and my schedule is a lot more open these days! I'm looking to continue doing remote design work and different projects, and because of this I can be more adaptable to whatever you may need for your pet. ❀ I personally like having a detailed overview of what your pet needs and what their regular routine is, ie. how often they go out to the bathroom, go on walks, or feeding times. Also things like reactivity to other dogs, medication needs, or behaviors are all great to know about! Most importantly, It's my goal that your pet is safe and happy :)

“Our dog Saffron loves when Maleny comes to walk her. She's very communicative and prompt. Appreciate having someone reliable to help us out when we need it.”

About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I've been the primary caregiver for my dog for 8 years and my cat for 3 years, and I've also cared for birds, hamsters, and fish. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care and will treat your pets like my own. I work full time M-T and would be willing to do a later evening drop in, but have my Friday afternoons and weekends available any time! Your pet's safety is my top priority. As a pet owner, I understand that every animal has unique behaviors and needs. Having cared for dogs with a tendency to bolt, I am especially mindful around doors, gates, and leashes and always take extra precautions to prevent escapes. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home's rules, and provide a calm, secure environment while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind.

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”

“Trula did a great job taking care of my anxious fur baby. She took her on nice long walks, which is exactly what she needs when I am away for extended periods with my job. Trula posted photos and kept me updated each day on her activity and appetite. I would definitely like to use Trula again for my pet sitting needs.”

About: I have had animals my entire life. I currently have a dog and two cats. My senior dog, Pete, passed away on 8/6 at 18. I am comfortable with dogs and cats if all ages, meds, and any other needs they may have. I’m a teacher so I can care for pets before/after school, over weekends. I can do drop ins and long weekend care as well. I can also do morning and afternoon walks. In my home, I am happy to host any dogs over the weekends who are dog and cat friendly. My cats don’t do well with unknown cats, but I can definitely drop in at your home. My home is very clean, safe, and zoned off for various animals. I have gates on my stairs, a gated yard, and locks on all the interior doors.

About: Hello, my name is Terra and I am excited to be able to help you out with your fur baby! I have prior experience as a professional dog Walker throughout high school as well as having my own dogs for seven years. I work at one of the local children's hospitals so I have rotating shift availability but I am dedicated to making your family a priority. I am a passionate advocate of animal rights and have the utmost compassion for our furry friends. I am college educated and graduated from Portland State University in 2015. I have experience with giant breeds, cats and tiny guys. I have my own car and license so I can book at short notice if needed. I am a current foster for ODR. I am free three weekends out of the month as well as Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays since I work a rotation in the hospital my schedule isn't always the same. I do my best to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and at ease in their own home. My goal is to make it feel like you never left by providing all of their creature comforts and treating them just as you would. Going for regular walks and potty breaks as well as engaging and entertaining your pet is a priority.

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!

“I recently got a puppy and booked an hour with Erica as part of his socialization process, to get him used to spending time with strangers. Erica and her daughter did an amazing job and I could tell Raider warmed up to both of them right away and felt very comfortable. It’s SO important for young puppies (especially giant breeds) to have positive experiences with new people. Thanks for helping to make sure I don’t wind up with a 120lb dog that’s afraid of people 🤣🖤Very much appreciated! 100% recommend”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel a genuine draw and connection to them. I genuinely love to spend my time with animals and am happy to provide that as a service that both you and your pet can be happy with! I am a recently graduated college student just looking to fill my time with something that is fulfilling to me. I work full-time but each day looks different. I am happy to work with you to find a time and/or schedule that works for all of us! I will take time to protect and provide for all pets in a safe and gentle way! I have felt and been told my whole life that I have a special connection with animals and I think that translates in the ways I care for them with love and gentleness.

About: I’m a college student home for the summer who genuinely loves being around animals and making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, dependable, and patient, and I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and helping pets feel less anxious while their families are gone. I also have experience caring for both energetic younger dogs and older pets who may need a calmer environment and extra patience. I’m very attentive and will treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I always want both pets and owners to feel comfortable. I’m home from college for the summer, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine and gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of routines and instructions and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, food, water, and care. I pay close attention to behavior and safety during walks, feedings, and visits, and I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet.

“Heather’s awesome! She agreed to take our pup for walks at the last minute after our usual walker canceled. She’s been great, lots of pictures and timely communication. And she’s taken him to a dog park to let him run energy off. I’d highly recommend her, my pup likes her and she does a great job!”

About: I've had a dog (at least 1) in my household since I was born. I grew up for many years with 2 Rottweilers, shortly after I had 3 labs, and now have a pit bull mix. I love all sorts of dogs, all shapes and sizes! I love taking dogs on walks, to parks, or just playing fetch with them in the yard. I would love to watch your dog, take care, and love for him/her in his home where he is comfortable :) dogs are a love and passion of mine, and while watching yours I plan to give them the most enjoyable time they can while their moms and dads are away for a bit! Can’t wait to hear from you thanks so much!
