“We have a pretty demanding routine with three cats and a Guinea pig, but Vai and Adam were more than up for it. They communicated well, sent pictures, and went above and beyond when one of our cats got sick. We would definitely recommend them because it’s clear that they care.”


About: I was born to a household of 11 puppies. Grew up with their mama and always had a good dog since. My black lab is now 18 years old, which is well beyond average lifespan, with a loving and healthy home. I trained her to be my ESA, and she helped me teach our Swissy puppy, who has already started mountaineering training at 4 months old. Recently I traded my engineering job for a free schedule to raise my puppy. Most days are spent hiking to train my puppy, I have all the time to focus my attention on the animals. We can make any time work. I have an apartment which makes for a great reason to go out to clean parks and experience the outdoors. Or when indoors animals can be seen at all times. I check in with animals often to try and understand them based on typical behavior, and I will respect them based on my assessment.

“From the start Theresa was very responsive and clear in scheduling and care info! She sent photos and updates daily with all the activities feom the visit and Achilles was happy and active when I came back home!”


About: I have been around animals for as long as I know. I have been entrusted to take care of my family and friends dogs in the past with ease from large animals to small. I will always show them love and take care of them as they are my own Im currently working later at night so I’m looking for something to fill my free time and I’m hoping to have fun with some furry friends! I will care for them as they are my own and give them as much love as possible. I will make sure with all my ability to keep them happy and healthy.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life. Helping with rescue situations with my family, walking our furry friends and pet sitting. I’ve personally have had special care pets and have cared for animals that need extra love. Between my family, personal life and clients I have worked with puppies and senior animals. My kiddos and I love animals. We love our furry family and can’t wait to provide love to yours. I am free most days as I am a stay at home mom to two kiddos. We love animals and have enjoyed caring for our furry friends together. Walking pups, pet sitting, weekend care to long term care. With a flexible schedule I can be available most anytime. Please note if your family would prefer no children around I can try and accommodate that if scheduling works. When I meet up with clients I make sure that kiddos are allowed with me, take notes, listen to the details needed to provide the best care. With personal animals at home I know how important all the little details matter. Provide photos or messages if desired when providing care so you can stay connected to your family.

“I appreciate Stephanie's quick responses. My flight home was very delayed and she helped me formulate a plan B if things took a turn for the worst. I have peace of mind when she takes care of my buddies.”


About: Hi! My name is Hanna and I have been dog sitting for around 4 years. I have only had experience sitting for neighbors or family friends so dog sitting for new people will be new and exciting! I make sure to follow every detail listed for me when sitting for the first time and I always make sure to go above and beyond for every dog and family. When it comes to dog sitting and staying at someone house for a period of time, I make sure to keep the space tidy and exactly how I left it. I only work 4 days a week at my ordinary job so I have 3 off days (mon, tues, wed) where I can easily dog sit. I have no issue dog sitting during my days of work though it would have to fit the schedule I am on. I currently live with my parents at my childhood home and we have 3 dogs that we each help care for. I personally have a chihuahua who I love more than everything and who loves me just as much. I take more of a personal role with him since he is more of my dog than a family dog. I have dog sit/house sit for neighbors of mine who have 2 dogs. I feed them at the correct times, take them outside to play at certain times and whenever they need, I walk them for however long they want and I keep the house tidy. When all the listed work is done, I hang out with the dogs just as I would with my own.

About: 🐶 About Me Hi there! I’m Jessica—a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet parent. After 16½ wonderful years with my own pup, I’m not quite ready for a new dog of my own… but I deeply miss the joy, snuggles, and companionship. That’s why I’m here—to give your dog a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have round-the-clock attention and care. Whether they love to play, nap in a sunny spot, or follow someone from room to room, I’ll be there for them every step (and paw print) of the day. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I had the joy of caring for my own dog for over 16½ years—from energetic puppyhood through her golden senior years. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how to adapt care based on age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s giving meds, managing special diets, or making sure senior pups get up and down stairs safely, I’ve been there. What sets me apart is my ability to create a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I work from home full-time, so your dog won’t be left alone—and they’ll get personalized attention, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m especially tuned in to dogs who need a little extra TLC—whether they’re shy, older, or adjusting to time away from home. I’m happy to stick to specific routines, administer medications, and support training habits you already have in place. This isn’t just a side gig for me—it’s a heartfelt way to stay connected to the dog energy I love so much, and to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Why I’m a Great Sitter 16+ years of hands-on dog ownership Full-time work-from-home setup = 24/7 companionship Calm, nurturing energy and personalized care Flexible schedule and great communication Comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and personalities 🏡 My Home & Yard Your pup will love my fully fenced backyard—it’s a secure space perfect for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and lounging in the fresh air. It’s also chock full of toys and “buried treasure” from my own beloved pup—a backyard with history, love, and tail-wagging energy. Inside, they’ll find a calm, cozy space with plenty of room to relax, play, and feel at home. Whether they’re crate-trained, couch cuddlers, or both—I’ll follow their routine to the letter. 📸 What to Expect I provide consistent updates, adorable photos, and check-ins so you’re never left wondering how your fur baby is doing. I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone—and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pup will be treated like family, because in my house… they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m here all day to keep your pup company! My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, walks, and feedings according to your dog’s usual routine. Mornings start with outside time in my fully fenced yard, followed by a mix of work (for me) and supervised lounging, cuddles, and playtime (for your pup). Midday walks and backyard breaks are part of our rhythm, and evenings are all about winding down together with lots of love and attention. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, your dog will have round-the-clock care and companionship. I never overbook, so your pet gets the dedicated attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment with lots of soft places to rest, space to play, and loving company throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time—perfect for sniffing, exploring, and soaking up the sun. I always supervise outdoor play, and dogs are never left unattended in the yard. Inside, I create a low-stress atmosphere with minimal noise and no other pets or small children, so your dog can settle in and relax. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, crate routines, or medication needs. I’m happy to provide frequent updates with photos and notes, so you always know how your pup is doing. This isn’t just pet sitting—it’s building trust and creating a safe, loving space that feels like home while you’re away.

About: Over the last 7 years I've had 2 small dogs, 2 cats, 4 ducks, 12 ducklings, 2 rabbits, and fostered 7 dogs and 20+ cats aged newborn to hospice and BFF to semi-feral. Growing up I had big dogs, cats, fish, and rats. I work from home, so I am very flexible for in-home care and free weekends and after 4 for dropins. Whatever your fur baby needs! I have a 6" fully fenced in yard. Separate rooms for cats or exotics. I have 2 small dogs, 2 cats, and 4 ducks, that all get along well. The ducks are fully enclosed when not supervised. I insist on harnesses for walking and am very familiar with using muzzles if needed. My house has no breed restrictions as long as they are safe for me to manage.


“Sarah is amazing. She took care of my cat as if she were her own. My cat loved getting to see Sarah. I would recommend Sarah anytime!! Thank you for everything Sarah!!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and started caring for dogs when I was just 11. Every pet I meet feels like an extension of my own furry family. I’ve had the joy of raising both playful puppies and comforting senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I bring patience, compassion, and attention to detail to every pet I care for, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. As a full-time accounting student, I thrive when I have a full, productive schedule — and spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I always make sure to dedicate time to give animals the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whenever possible, I also enjoy volunteering at special events with the Oregon Humane Society, which has only deepened my passion for working with animals and making them feel safe and happy. I’m able to give my full attention and extra love to the pets I care for. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, comfort, and creating a calm environment where pets feel at ease. I’m fortunate to live in a friendly community with plenty of beautiful walking spots perfect for outdoor time. I treat every home with great respect and always aim to leave spaces even tidier than I found them, ensuring peace of mind for pet parents while they’re away.

About: I love spending time with animals, especially cats and dogs. I’m a patient and caring person. I train my cat every day — she already knows 16 commands, and we both truly enjoy the process. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I love planning my day so I have dedicated time for playing, feeding, cuddling, and taking care of animals. It’s not “extra work” — it’s what makes my day feel complete. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or the client’s, I always aim to create a calm and safe environment. I stick to their usual routine, respect boundaries, and pay attention to every detail. Pets should feel safe, loved, and understood — and I make sure they do.

“Thank you so much for dropping in to check on our two kitties. We really really appreciate that you were able to visit around Mollee's bedtime and to see her in the photos all relaxed in her usual places. Della jumped down from the cat tree in the office when we got home, she was napping up top. Hopefully, as she gets to know you, she will come out and play with you!”


About: Been taking care of dogs since I was little. I have a Cavalier king Charles spaniel and looking for more walking buddies. Also a student at Pacific University looking to make a little money in my spare time. I have school from 8-5 and am free to walk dogs most times besides that. I work very part time and am free all day on most weekends. My dog has a fenced in backyard with lots of shade and room to run around. I take them on a walk at least every day and a longer walk 3-4 times a week.

About: Trained Veterinary Assistant with a decade of experience in the animal care field. I've been taking care of family's furry friends since I was a young girl, which is where I found my passion for animals. I am confident that I can provide the best care to your pet no matter the size, temperament or medical need. Please read my availability before booking weekdays. Thanks! I work a full time job at a veterinary clinic, and a part time student studying to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have started opening up my schedule to weekdays in addition to my normal weekend availability. When requesting weekdays, please keep in mind that I will be working 8 hour days, but will be able to stay the night with your pet. This may limit which pets I can care for unfortunately. I might be able to offer drop ins on my lunch break depending on proximity to my work. I expect to be provided with a safe environment for pets when staying in their home, including appropriate harnesses, collars and leashes for dogs and secure doors leading to the outdoors or other potential dangerous areas.

“Akaila did a great job doing drop in’s for my cat. Even with the behavioral problems that my cat had she was patient and understanding. I highly suggest if you are looking for a pet sitter!”
