“Excellent care for my elderly diabetic cat. Always conciensous and making sure everything was as it should be. The cat seems bummed out when I come home and hes not getting visits from her anymore.”
“Cindy is the most wonderful cat caretaker!! My little guy has special needs and she handled his care like a pro. She is super communicative, trustworthy, and easy to work with. It felt so good to be away knowing my baby was in good hands. 10/10!”
About: I am an animal lover who specializes in enrichment walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. I have a completely flexible schedule and I’ll be solely focused on Rover this summer and growing this business. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. My pet passed in February due to old age and so we have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into, and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.
“Elizabeth was great! We met before the reservation to go over medication and feeding. Bing and Elizabeth got along great together. If I go away again, I will definitely try to book her again.”
“Samantha has been such a lifesaver! All my dog needs is a quick trip outside to potty during the work day, but Samantha goes above and beyond every day. She gives Mona pets and out-of-crate time and will refill her water or change her blankets if that’s needed! I can tell how much she loves dogs because she is a great caretaker! She is also a great photographer and gets better pictures of my dog than I ever have. Because of Samantha, Mona is much less anxious when I am gone and she no longer pees in the house! I am very grateful for her!!”
“Thank you Aria for taking such good care of George and Gracie - as much as you could. You put my mind at ease with your postings and your daily pics of George in the same chair. But they were eating well and pooping a lot. That’s the best a mom could hope for. Till next time”
“As always, Rhea was absolutely incredible with our Clover! Leaving for a week or more is so hard knowing your pet has to stay behind but the assurance is someone as caring and attentive as Rhea makes it a lot easier. Not only does our cat have her food, water and litter taken care of, she gets plenty of love!”
About: I am a dog lover at heart and they know it! Wherever I visit I often find their fur baby right by my side. I have taken dog training classes and lean on my naturally loving and patient talents to create that bond. I'm looking forward to being there when you can't be.❤️ I work from home and your fur baby will be great company. My work schedule has some flexibility which allows me the time to give them the time and attention they need. I do have a backyard where pets can play. The yard is not fenced in but I do have a long leash that allows them the ability to enjoy the space in the backyard. I'm close to the Eastern trail and a dog park that I always enjoyed taking my little Joey to! He always enjoyed being right by my side when home and know your fur baby will too. 😊
“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”
“I love vacationing but I HATE leaving my cats home alone as they’re both rescues and I’m scared of them feeling abandoned. Sarah somehow managed to get my extremely shy and skiddish cat to come out for pictures, so essentially, she works magic. I came home to two happy cats and felt better about leaving them knowing Sarah took such good care of them!”
“Isabella helped me out on short notice when my typical sitter became unavailable, and she was awesome. Reliable, experienced, friendly, and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Faith was absolutely wonderful to work with. She communicated well, was friendly and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs! Thank you again!”
About: Professional Pet Snuggler, Dog Walker Extraordinaire, and Treat Giver Supreme 🐾 I’m a mom of two young wild and wonderful kids (three, if you count my husband 😄) and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve lived with pets so long, I’m basically fluent in meow, woof, and squeak. With over 5 years of dog-walking experience, I’m comfy with pups of all sizes — from pocket-sized pooches to gentle giants. I’m also totally cool with cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even horses. If it has fur (or whiskers), I’m in! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, your cat needs a snack and a snuggle, or your pet rat just wants someone to chat with — I’ve got you covered. I treat every animal like part of the family (and yes, I do talk to them like they’re tiny humans). Ready to bring joy, treats, and tummy rubs — can’t wait to meet your whiskered pal! As a stay-at-home mom, part-time admin, and dance instructor, I’m no stranger to juggling schedules — and I’ve got the flexibility to fit in pet care when you need it most. Whether it’s during the school year or the summer shuffle, I can usually make it work. Need a midday walk? A last-minute drop-in? A cuddle buddy for your cat while you’re away? I’ve got you covered! I don’t offer pet sleepovers at my place (our house is already a zoo!), but I’m more than happy to come to yours. Your pets will stay comfy in their own cozy corners while I handle the food, walks, belly rubs, and more. I'm super respectful of your home and always treat it like it’s my own. I’m also very mindful of home safety and security — you can count on me to treat your space with respect and care while you’re away.
About: I'm highly dependable and punctual, and I always provide clear updates so you know how the walk went. You’ll never be left wondering—just happy to see your dog getting great care and exercise while you’re away or busy. I work a full-time job Monday - Friday, with remote work at the beginning of the week and an hour-long break each day for those local to my office in Portland. My weekends are typically open, as I have Saturdays and Sundays off work. Generally speaking, I may be able to accommodate walks before 8 am and after 5 pm throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and their routine with respect. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, wiping paws, or giving meds—and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves to explore or a senior who enjoys a slow stroll, I make sure they’re getting the right amount of exercise, enrichment, and love. After every visit, I send an update so you know how things went and how your pet is doing!
About: I frequently petsit my friend dogs and cats when they are out of town. I grew up with dogs and really miss having one at home. I work full time, but my hours are a bit flexible. I'm available most days and if I have a blocked off day you really need petsitting, please let me know and mostly I probably adjust my schedule. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks! I typically enjoy spending as much time as possible with your pet! I love going on long walks and quick runs with pets. Please let me know if you have any particular care needs for your pets!

Rachael G.
Star Sitter
“I might be biased, but I got to see firsthand just how incredible Rachael is with animals. She treats each dog with the same love, patience, and attention she gives our own. She’s the kind of person who remembers every pup’s quirks, notices when something’s off, and genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being. I’ve seen her go out of her way to make sure each dog has the best experience — whether it’s adjusting routes for comfort, bringing extra treats, or just offering a calm presence for nervous pups. It’s more than just a job for her — it’s something she truly loves doing. If you’re lucky enough to have Rachael walk your dog, you’re in the best hands possible.”

Alesha M.
“When I needed a responsible and enthusiastic sitter for my two dogs, Alesha was the one who answered my call. I travel for work often and have always worried leaving my pups in a strangers care. Since finding Alesha I haven’t had to scramble for a caregiver; now she’s my go to gal! Alesha is compassionate and always excited to see my dogs. Pongo and Gloria are always excited to see her too! As rescues they can be shy and timid around new people, but Alesha was able to befriend them instantly with lots of walks, tug of war, and tummy rubs. She excels at giving them the love and attention they need. Alesha is open and easy to talk to, and I am comfortable welcoming her into my home while I’m away. Every experience with her is a positive one. I recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter or a walker! I plan on using her for the foreseeable future and beyond!”
Kayla S.
“Kayla was wonderful with our dog, Morty. He was well taken care of and had a yard to enjoy during his stay at her home. He also knew exactly which door to go to when he went for a second stay.”
