About: if you're busy and unable to walk your dog, then I'm your gal. I will provide them the much needed enrichment that they deserve while you're away and give you updates along the way. I work three days a week and have full flexibility with the remaining four. my schedule is set with my other job, so my reliability is as consistent as it can be. I will provide personalized one on one care for your dog or pet at your discretion. With my medical experience, I am also very comfortable and adept at treating common conditions in senior animals or in sick animals.

About: *GREAT AT LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS* Trying to establish a customer base, so prices are LOW and we can lock them in going forward. Im a great dog dad and genuinely love all animals. I have two dogs at home. A 12 year old chocolate lab and a 3 year old yellow lab. They have been with me since they were puppies and they are my best buds and two incredible dogs. Were often at capisic park pond daily, jewels falls, the beach, or a variety of different trails. We don't go places that require a dog leash as my dogs are trained fully off leash, and that's what they are used to. I of course would walk your dog on a leash if preferred, especially until a relationship is established. They are the happiest friendliest dogs. Perfect for a third to join us if you would like your dog to socialize, its an option for sure. I'm kind and love dogs so much but we have expectations and rules to follow in order to have a good time. I'm a teacher here in Portland and am available after school at 3pm, and open on the weekends. I'm a single man, so I am available to house sit overnight. I treat pets with the upmost respect and care for them like humans. My dogs are equal in my home and have the best quality food and treats, exercise 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and sleep (take over) my bed nightly. I respect dogs well being and put that as my top priority. I talk to my dogs all the time, anticipate their needs, and am very loving, yet at the same time have rules and expectations for them to follow. I'm very good at explaining things to my dogs if they need correction with a firm voice and a loving approach.

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and gerbils. I grew up with many dogs in my household of all sizes and ages. I've cared for many cats as well, including spicy and shy cats. I am active and enjoy running and playing with dogs! As a part time job I teach pickleball clinics. I know the importance of being respectful and patient with animals, tuning into their needs and individual personalities. Vegetarian for the animals! After a successful IT career for 11+ years, I am now a student going back to school to get my master's in social work and have open availability for pet care throughout my week. I am very respectful of the needs of my clients, and make sure that their pet and home is well cared for! Communication is my strong suit and I will make sure to send photos and texts regarding care!

“Anna was so wonderful. She watched our cat while we went away for the 4th of July. She was incredibly communicative and sent wonderful pictures/updates. Would recommend Anna to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter!”

About: I've been a pet owner my whole life and cared for animals of all temperaments. It's my dream to run my own animal rescue for sick, disabled, and elderly animals. I am going to school to be a veterinary technician and have volunteered at Safe Haven Humane Society. I have more experience with cats than dogs, but I love and am ready to care for any and all animals. Except for school and doctor's appointments, I have a lot of free time to spend with your animals. I'm very comfortable doing overnights and have a cat and hamster of my own. I am willing to spend quite a bit of time with your pet, and I am no stranger to feeding, grooming, brushing teeth, nail trims, and poop scooping. I've done more cat care than dog care, but I love going on walks and enjoy any time spent with animals.
