About: I’ve always been peoples go to for checking on their pets. From house sitting in high school to current short term fosters, I make sure your furry friends get the love and care they deserve ! I have experience with obedience training, senior pet care, and over night stays. Some may even call me an animal whisperer! Whether in your home or my own, your pet will have a new bestie! I’m currently available for any type of care, walks in the morning or evening, overnights, long term stays, everything! I work in a dog friendly office, so they can join me (if they get along with other dogs). I live in an apartment with no pets, so your fur baby will be getting all my attention! I’m situated in a cute little neighborhood so long walks are perfect. I’m also close to a dog park for them to get all their energy out. For cats, I have more than enough space for several litter boxes and a cat tree already so they’ll feel right at home. For house sitting, we can discuss your pets needs but I am open and flexible!

About: I am a dog mama to a 13 year old chihuahua who I've had the pleasure of caring for throughout every era of her life. Before that I cared for our family dog until his passing at the age of 18. I love pets of all ages, but find caring for senior animals to be a particular honor. Our pets bring so much joy to our lives and my goal as a pet sitter is to provide comfort, care and love to all animals. Especially while there human counterparts are out of town. As a pet mama, I understand the importance of sharing updates and communicating with my fellow pet parents! Btw I work from home so if I'm watching your babies, I'll be with them most of the time. I work as a freelance fashion designer and stylist, so as long as we discuss scheduling ahead of time, I will be very available to care for your pets! At this time I am only taking on clients with pets who are okay with me bringing my dog along. My pets practically run my household and I build my work and social schedule around whatever my pets may need!! While caring for my clients home/pets I make sure to provide all fur babies with the love and affection they not only require, but deserve. I implement enrichment practices such as walks or playtime as well as whatever each individual pet parent requests.

About: Growing up in a dog-loving family with parents on the board of an animal shelter, I have experience with senior, fosters, puppies, reactive, and diverse dogs! I have three years of dog walking experience at Citizens for Humane Action. I love all types of dogs, but now am a dog mom to a corgi named Juno! I'm currently working part-time as a clinical researcher so I have a flexible schedule on weekdays and weekends for dog-walking, playing with your pup during drop-in visits, and for house sitting. I have the most flexibility in the mornings, but am happy to accommodate all schedules! I have an anxious, but explorative corgi myself, so I know the importance of giving dogs of all personalities the space to feel comfortable and happy on walks. I like to let dogs lead, but be aware of my surroundings to ensure that both your pup and other pedestrians are safe! In the home, I take it slow and again, let the dog lead! I would love the opportunity to get to know your dog!

“This is the second time we have used Ali for drop in visits for our three girls. We loved her so much the first time, and we were thrilled when she worked with us very last minute as a family emergency came up. I can't say enough good things about how professional and trustworthy she is. Thank you again, Ali!”

About: Hi! I have an apartment with no pets for boarding, have lots of experience with cats and dogs and wfh so I can give them pretty constant company. I love animals and will treat them like my own! I work from home so as long as your pet can cowork with me, weekdays are open! Besides that, evenings for walking/overnights and weekends will work. I have an apartment with no other pets, can walk them, feed them and play with them. Would spoil them by choice as an animal lover! <3

About: I have worked with dogs at doggy day cares, dog hotels, shelters, fosters, and even movie sets! While my profile focuses on dog sitting, I'm happy to take care of your rabbit, hamster, guinea pig, reptile, fish, bird, etc! Let's chat. I work part-time for a yoga studio and my husband or I are always home at night! We love watching movies with our two pooches, and can’t wait to have a movie night with your best friend! I have two friendly chihuahua mixes that love meeting other dogs. I’ll be sure to send you plenty of photos of your dogs during their fun stay!

“Michael was fantastic! He gave my husband and me updates on Ringo and sent pictures! I think Ringo was very happy and we'lldefinitely hire Michael again to hang out with Ringo!”

“It was our first time leaving our little guy alone for an extended time, and Amari really helped us feel good that he was being taken care of. She was communicative, professional, and thorough. I highly recommend her to look after your pet. We have a cat, and she was wonderful with him.”

“Alex is honestly the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. He goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is taken care of and comfortable, as well as keeping us informed with great updates and pics. Truly one of a kind.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed their pets, and drop-ins are where I really shine. I show up, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. I’m currently working part-time on larger projects, so the flexibility fits perfectly around drop-in visits. I can build your pet’s visits into my day without a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, and I’m happy to adjust timing to match their routine. For drop-ins, I do a full walkthrough of your home routine first so nothing feels unfamiliar to your pet. I follow your feeding, medication, and play instructions exactly as given, and I always double-check doors and gates are secure before I leave. Your pet’s comfort and safety in their own space is my top priority.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs/cats/rats/snakes/etc since I was 7 years old. Always the friend that family/friends relied on to care for their family pets. Nothing brings me more joy than connecting with a pooch and caring for a new best friend. I’m currently an online business owner, selling clothing through my website and a p/t social media manager. I mainly work from home which allows me to be available for your furry babes 99% of the day. I have a small fenced yard that is fully secured although I wouldn’t leave pets unattended for any extended period of time. I love walking new areas, checking out new parks, meandering around new neighborhoods. My place is very dog-friendly and pooches are allowed on the couch/bed.

About: I’ve always had a special connection with animals, but adopting my dog, Chica, taught me just how important it is for a pet to feel safe, understood, and at home when their family is away. Because Chica experiences separation anxiety, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog and wonder if they’re feeling stressed or lonely. That’s why I offer a quiet, home-based boarding and daycare experience where I care for only one family’s dog(s) at a time. My goal is to provide personalized attention, a peaceful environment, and a routine that helps each dog feel comfortable and secure. Chica is a small senior dog with a calm personality. She is used to sharing her home with other dogs and cats and is respectful of dogs who prefer their own space. Her relaxed nature helps create a comfortable environment for dogs who may be nervous or overwhelmed in busier boarding settings. I have experience caring for anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who need oral medications. Before each stay, I like to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and consistent. I also know how important it is for you to stay connected while you’re away. I’ll send regular photo updates so you can see how your dog is doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for. If you’re looking for a calm, personal alternative to a crowded boarding facility, I’d love to meet you and your dog. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so your dog can meet me, Chica, and get comfortable in the space. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already organize my days around my own dog, Chica. Since she has separation anxiety, we make sure someone is always with her, which means guest dogs also benefit from having companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention and adapt to their routine whenever possible. If I ever anticipate being away for a short period, I will always discuss it with you beforehand so we can make sure it works for your dog's needs. I live in a quiet first-floor apartment with a small fenced patio. For safety, any time spent outside on the patio is always supervised, and dogs are kept on a leash unless we've agreed otherwise. If you prefer that your dog doesn't use the patio, I'm happy to follow your preferences. I tailor each dog's routine to their individual needs. Whether that means quiet walks, extra potty breaks, or more time to explore, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys getting out, I can also take them to nearby parks, and I regularly enjoy spending time in nature with my own dog. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while they're with me. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated with photos, and make sure both your dog and Chica are comfortable throughout the stay.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I have always had pets in my home and understand the love, patience, and responsibility they need. My friends and family often trust me to help care for their pets when they are away. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide walks, visits, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s needs. I am responsible and will make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need. I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment. In a client’s home, I will follow the owner’s instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, playtime, and care. In my home, I will make sure pets feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention. I always respect each pet’s personality and needs and make safety my priority.

“Pups were well tended to and seemed to be very relaxed with Cheslea (and that’s saying a lot for these puppers)! We are so grateful for the quality care and attention Cheslea provides and will definitely have her back in the future!”

About: I've taken care of neighbors' pets since I was a kid, and was always asked back! Growing up, my family was graced with Hannah, a lurcher greyhound rescue. I've also cared for my sister's turtle Monkey while she was living with me, and love visiting the pets of my friends and relatives. (Shout-out to Monkey, Sophie, Abby, Hari, Kiwi, and Starbuck!) I recently finished immunotherapy and am no longer allergic to cats! I'm happy to announce I can now accept cat bookings. I'm working part-time with a theater company, and my schedule with them is very flexible! I can easily build my schedule around the needs of you and your pets. A pet's safety and well-being are my primary concerns. I want to make sure they're eating healthy, getting plenty of exercise and stimulation, and are happy whenever I'm around. I keep a pet's individual behavioral patterns in mind while outside on walks, and do everything I can to make sure there are no incidents between pets and other people. I am attentive to any irregularities in appearance or behavior that may indicate an issue, and am quick to alert the owner or reach out to a vet.

About: I grew up in a home with a dog, a cat, birds, fish, and rabbits. Throughout my life, I’ve opened my heart to many a pooch, including a beautiful epileptic Dalmation, a feisty pocket Shih Tzu (that one of my students brought to school in a backpack), an adorably lazy Bijon-Maltese mix who came to stay for a weekend and stayed 10 years -- and most recently a spirited 13 year old Terrier mix that we brought home after his person died unexpectedly. All were loved and doted upon until they crossed the rainbow bridge. The smaller ones vacationed by car, truck, and plane and were with us 24/7. I’ve often cared for my friends' dogs and am known for giving good doggy massages. I’ve also shared my space with an African Sulcata tortoise for the last 17 years. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I own a small business that allows me to come and go easily, allowing for long walks and/or lounging around. I have a fenced yard, leashes, bowls, a medium sized dog crate if necessary, lots of healthy snacks and lots of time for walks and doggie massages. In your home, I will care for your special friend as instructed. If your pooch loves toys, we will play, if snoozing is their favorite thing, I will happily sit nearby and chill too.

About: I started dog walking and doing cat play dates out of high school 11 years ago and loved it! I grew up with two large dogs and two cats in Portland, Oregon. Calm or animated, tall and long, short and stout, I take care of dogs & cats with all types of personalities, needs, and routines. I know dog & cat first aid through the American Red Cross and will go above and beyond to be a steward of your space. I study critical theory around the subjects of visual culture and land use at Portland State University online, so my schedule is open and adaptable to yours. My availability is completely open. I'm currently a student online, so I can adapt my schedule around whichever days and times you need help. I'm a patient, soft-spoken caretaker that allows a new fur friend to get to know me first. I'll walk the greenest routes in the area and cross the streets at the safest points. I walk at a steady pace and can check in with you and your pet during the walk or pet sit. We can play games or lounge around if that's more their style. I'll tend to your pet's grooming, diet, activity, and behavior specificities as well as any household tasks that accompany the visit.

“That’s a lovely sentiment! Here’s a polished version if you’d like to share it as a review or thank-you note: Vicky took such wonderful care of our pets—you can truly tell she loves animals. Her kindness and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind.”
