“This is the first time Jessica has come to my house and was a last minute request on my part. She came as requested and kept me informed. My normally shy, hide in my bedroom, cat Pippen really hit it off with Jessica on the first day and enjoyed lap sitting and playing with her. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and learned early on the importance of giving them love, structure, and consistent care. From daily walks in all kinds of weather to making sure bowls are full, paws are clean, and leashes are secure. I’m attentive and proactive—always watching for other animals on walks, checking gates and doors at home, and ensuring every furry friend feels comfortable and cared for. What sets me apart is my mix of reliability and playfulness: I provide the dependable care you can trust while keeping tails wagging with fun, engaging activity. Caring for pets isn’t just a responsibility to me—it’s a privilege and a joy. I currently work full-time, but after 6 p.m. I’m available for evening walks and/or drop-in visits. Weekends are when I have the most flexibility, making me available for longer walks, extended care, or even overnight stays if needed. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care during the times many families are busiest or away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always ensure I have a clear care plan to follow using instructions and information I’ve gathered from the client. This is important as I want to ensure that the care I provide is consistent to what the dog or cat is used to. I’m attentive to safety—making sure leashes and harnesses are secure on walks, keeping an eye out for other animals, and double-checking that gates and doors are properly closed. I also maintain food and water bowls as needed and give plenty of love and playtime. Whether it’s a game of fetch, hide-and-seek, or just extra cuddles, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their family is away.

“Mary Anne is a super sittter! Very professional, responsive, and friendly. Mary Anne provided drop-in visits for my cat while I was away on vacation and I couldn’t be happier. I will be rebooking her services.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, beginning with growing up alongside a German Shepherd. My lifelong experience with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their needs, personalities, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. I know how much trust pet owners place in someone caring for their animals, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently in school, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. I’m available every day for walks and will do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone is caring for your pet in your home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m mindful of keeping things clean, secure, and in the condition you left them. I’m dependable, respectful, and attentive to your instructions and your pet’s routine. I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pet is being cared for and your home is in good hands.

“So grateful to have found Elizabeth on Rover! She was incredibly attentive, understanding, and caring with my puppy ! and truly worked magic with her! My dog is usually very shy and scared around new people, but by the end of her stay with Elizabeth and her kids, she looked so happy and confident. I couldn't be more thankful! Elizabeth also sent me regular updates and lots of adorable photos, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone loving and trustworthy to care for their pet! :)”

I am starting a new business and I will be working from home. I will have plenty of time to take care of furrr babies I have a large courtyard where our dogs can run around. My dog loves to play with other dogs. I also have room for crates if desired

About: I've owned and worked with animals my entire life! Anything from Mice and bugs to horses and dogs. I've worked at barns and as a dog trainer, even as far as being a grooming assistant at dog shows. I have experience caring for sick, chronically ill and senior animals as well, and am used to routine ear cleanings and pill-givings. I'm currently in school full-time and my classes vary Monday through Thursday. But don't fret! I still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies before and after classes. While I do not currently offer in-home boarding, I am fully capable of providing fun and consistent care for your furry friend in your humble abode. I've done many house visits over the years, ranging from hamsters to ponies!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. Finding someone you trust to care for your pets is incredibly important, and I strive to provide the same attentive, dependable care that I want for my own dogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, rabbits, fish, and have spent time around horses and other barn animals. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication administration, plenty of cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I also know how much reassurance matters when you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and treated like family. As a dog owner myself, I have firsthand experience caring for pets with anxiety, behavioral challenges, and ongoing medical needs. I have a background in positive reinforcement training and believe in using patience, consistency, and rewards to encourage good behavior. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, medication schedules, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Whether your pet needs extra reassurance, a structured routine, or specialized care, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate support. My schedule is fully open and am dedicated to pet care in the Beaverton/Portland/Tigard/Hillsboro area. Due to having my own dogs, I am unable to Provide overnight care in your home but can offer boarding services for friendly dogs. In My Home: Your dog will be treated like part of the family during their stay. I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks and outdoor time, and Hazeldale Park is just a short walk away for additional exercise and enrichment. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines, rules, and training expectations to help them feel comfortable. In Your Home & On Walks: Walks are tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and individual needs. Whether we’re exploring your neighborhood, staying at home, or enjoying a relaxed sniffari, I’ll provide safe exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of positive attention. I have a large dog stroller and use positive reinforcement techniques on walks. We will go over anlso review any training cues, commands, or routines you have established to help maintain consistency and good habits.

“Julieth saved the day! We had a medical emergency and since Julieth has taken such great care of our buns in the past, we were able to leave with a peace of mind 😊 She did an amazing job and kept us up to date while we were away. Thank you so much Julieth!!”
