House Sitting in Chapman Landing

About: I have had dogs since I was 3 years old. Currently do not have a dog of my own but still dog sit for my mom when she goes out of town or comes visits me. Have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes and puppies. Young professional in seasonal type job. My work is currently in the slow season so have plenty of time for dogs/puppies. I also have all my weekends available to puppy sit. I live in an apartment but there are plenty of walking trails and parks nearby. I also have plenty of time off and no weekend commitments so I can stay at your home so the pups are more comfortable.

“Mike took excellent care of my cat and my home. The kitty was happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything seemed ship shape otherwise. Thank you!”

“Savannah was such a huge help staying at our place with our dogs while we were away! The dogs loved her and you could tell by how they react to her when she comes by. Will definitely book again!”

“Erin was lovely and took fantastic care of our pups. Both of our dogs are difficult in their own special ways - one of them has a lot of attitude and energy and is aggressive toward other dogs; the other is blind, partially deaf, and incontinent. She seemed to handle them both beautifully with no problems and no hesitation. We received updates and photos of the dogs when we were on vacation. Erin kept us informed, was very responsive when we checked in, and was very organized and easy to work with. (She even went above and beyond and did laundry!) We felt that our pups were in very good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She has our highest recommendation!”

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

“Peter really helped us out in a pinch! We were going out of town and Momo wasn’t able to go to her usual daycare, so Peter stayed with her in our home. This was her first experience staying at home without us and she was definitely anxious and skittish the first day. But Peter was very sweet and patient with her. He took things slowly in order to get Momo comfortable with him. He sent lots of updates and pictures, which really put us at ease. He took her on daily walks, played with her, made sure she took her medication, and took such good care of her. Momo was in great hands and we can’t recommend Peter enough!”

“Felicia did a wonderful job watching our fur babies. I really appreciated the pictures and communication. She was responsible, friendly, and genuinely cared about our pups. 10/10 would book again!”

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”

“Our dog has separation anxiety when we leave and she was totally chill with Jordan. He is detail oriented and was really comfortable with our dog from the beginning. We will not hesitate to contact him again to care for our dog.”

Toni H.

“Rylee was amazing! Very communicative and incredibly attuned to our senior dog’s needs. So nice to have such peace of mind.”

Mia R.

“Danny couldn’t have been better. He was invested on my dog’s habits, routine, and was willing to take the time to really get to know him and take care of him. As long as he allows, Danny will be my first choice.”

Paulo A.

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Robert does a wonderful job caring for my dogs while I’m away. I get photos while I’m gone and when I get home it’s like I never left. They get lots of cuddles and play time too!”

About: Hiya! I’m the quiet attentive home you’ve been searching for—whether for a puppy, a senior dog who requires medications, or a fearful pup who needs peace, or reassurance during the workday. I’m home full-time and have been a certified veterinary technician since 2009, with 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, behavior, and humane reward based training. I also hold a certification as a Fear Free Practitioner. I’d love to welcome your dog into my home or visit yours and provide whatever they need while you’re away—extra puppy potty breaks, medication administration and monitoring, or simply a calm, loving environment where they’re treated like my own. I keep my home peaceful and serene, so I only host one dog at a time to ensure individualized care and attention. The needs of those under my care are prioritized. I will do my best to accommodate your pets schedules needs. Just let me know how to help! The pets that I keep in my home are prioritized, while your baby is under my care they are treated like my own! Bring whatever makes them feel more cozy

About: I volunteered many hours at an animal shelter for six months. During my time there, I took all-around care of the cats. I’ve had dogs (of many different personalities and sizes) my entire life, so dogs are part of my daily routine. I often watch my friends dogs and it’s always a pleasure :) Im not currently working so i can take close care of your pet during the time i watch them. I will always be there when food/ walks are needed I will watch over your pet for as long as needed, giving them attention, affection, and food/water and walks when necessary. Also taking care of special needs if they have them.

“Michelle took excellent care of both our medically fragile kitties! She sent us lots of cute photos them throughout our trip and gave us piece of mind that they were being cared for and loved on.”

About: I have had a variety of dog breeds my whole life. Mostly rescues across all ages. I have puppy experience as well as senior dog experience. Additionally I have done elder and developmental disability care for people. I believe in honesty, empathy, and compassion for those under my care. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work and have an internship part time 3x per week (both remote work) , so I would like to fill the rest of my time to support myself financially ❤️ *no school/ internship until August 2026* I am very attentive and keep a close eye on pets at all times. I try and service my clients by appealing to their needs and sensibilities and not my own. Having worked as a caregiver for people with dementia and adults with developmental disabilities has prepared me to be alert and aware at all times.

“James did an awesome job watching our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. He kept us updated, followed all our care notes, and the dogs absolutely loved him. We’d definitely book him again!”

About: Since I’ve been working from home, I’ve become pretty sedentary. I was contemplating getting a gym membership, when I realized that I could walk cute fluffy dogs instead! So, here I am! I had a little white fluffy Maltese for fourteen years named Henry. I lost him due to complications with old age a couple of years ago, and have been too heartbroken to get another dog since. I have a TON of experience with little dogs because of him. I also regularly walk and babysit my friend's and family's pets, so I have many years of experience with different sizes and breeds of dogs. I'm currently WFH with a flexible schedule, so I can adapt my daily or weekly routine to dog-walking or housesitting with ease. I would LOVE to get my steps in, or cuddle with a floof, or housesit somewhere I don't reside and take advantage of trying different restaurants. I don't currently have any pets, so this is my way of getting to pet cute fluffy animals and get paid to do it! Pretty sweet bargain. I have a deep love for dogs and cats and a respect for their preferences, personalities, and autonomy. Care for pets is different, depending on the animal and the pet parents. My sister has three cats. One of them wants nothing to do with humans, and one needs constant attention and pets and cuddles. So, one gets left alone when I babysit and one gets lots of cuddles. One former client of mine had an old dog that liked to be left alone, but didn't want to be alone in the house. So I stayed around the house and didn't bother them much. A different former client had a puppy who wanted to go explore and go for long walks and sniff everything in sight. So that's what we did. It's different for every pet, every family, every household. I'm flexible, and enthusiastic, and hold the belief that while pets are only a small part of our world, to them, we are their whole world. They deserve to have their needs met, and to feel good about the interloper invading their space. I treat every animal with the respect they deserve. I also treat every household with the respect the home deserves. I always leave homes as I found them, or better. I would expect anyone entering my home to hold a degree of respect for my space, and I always offer that same respect in return.
