About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”

“Heidi was fantastic with my four cats. The cats immediately warmed up to her and I felt very confident and secure with Heidi visiting my home while I was away on a trip. Heidi is conscientious and trustworthy and relieved any stress related to the safety of my home and care for my pets.”

“Our dog loved her! We would definitely hire Adelyn again.”

About: I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, crazy cats and shy cats. I know each animal has a different way of life. I take into consideration all of their favors and sensitivities. I want each animal to feel loved and as comfortable as possible while they are away from their parents. I mostly have open availability. I usually only work at night for about five hours for about only three days a week. I have a pretty flexible schedule and if you contact me, we can work something out! I live in an apartment. I have a small backyard with no fence. I have a park nearby where I can walk dogs. I am also willing to come to the animals home and care for them there as well.

“Great communication, reliable, would book again without hesitation!”

About: I have a great love for animals, but especially, dogs. I've been dogsitting/dogwalking for around fifteen years, starting with sitting for my friends pets. I'm a very loving caregiver, so when their dogs would see me again, they'd spin around in circles, full of joy, and follow me around wherever I went. They started recommending me to their friends, who'd recommend me to their friends and so on, until I was sitting for all kinds of dogs. I decided I wanted to learn everything about dog care and to take it seriously as a profession. I took off to Peru and volunteered at a dog shelter. There I cared for 50 lonely street dogs. That's also where I learned about how to be an intuitive dog leader in groups of up to fifteen dogs. The feeling of fifteen strays running up to you every morning for some pets and affection is one I'll never forget. Now I spend my days sitting for dogs like yours. I also work in a doggie daycare. I spend a lot of my time off volunteering at the Humane Society. At this point, I'm confident and knowledgeable in dog behavior, alone and in groups. I can tell when a dog is anxious, or lonely, etc. I can read a dogs emotions, when it signals through its mouth ears, tail or body tenseness. I've learned a lot and I'm dedicated to learning more. I want to meet all the dogs! I'd love to meet yours! I'm sure we'd get along! I have a part time job in a doggie daycare, just because I love dog care and want to learn everything about it. Otherwise, I'm doing a lot of dogsitting. I like to dedicate a lot of my day to my furry clients, walking them and giving them bellyrubs. Housesitting: When I'm housesitting, I spend as much time as possible in your home with your dog. I love to take them to parks and to explore your neighborhood. Boarding: I have a big house to for them to run around in with fluffy, comfy couches and a cupboard full of treats. I also have a grassy back yard where we can chase balls and play tug-a-war. Lents Park is around the corner from me so take walks there several times a day.

“Another great booking with Angela! She is communicative, friendly, easy to work with and so great with my cat, I loved all the pics/videos she took for me and I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“Chrissy did drop in visits for our 13 week old puppy. Our puppy was well taken care of and Chrissy made sure to tire her out so she slept the between visits. We will definitely be using her pup services again!”

“So greatful for Melissa's help taking care of my cat Luna. At the time of my trip, Luna was recovering from a wound that needed special care. Melissa was not only able to manage her care and monitor progress, but also somehow managed to get my extremely shy cat to warm up to her, despite all the meds and special care routine. When I got back Luna was in tip-top shape and a lot less mad at me for leaving than she usually is. Melissa will definitely be my first call next time I need to travel.”

About: Hi, I’m Brad. I’ve been working with dogs since 2012 and I have been walking and watching them independently since 2001. I love what I do. I put in 12-16 miles a day with my paw friends. Rain or shine. I have taken care of puppies all the way up to senior dogs going through chemotherapy. “I live for the dogs “ is what I like to say. I look forward to meeting your pal and spoiling them with love and exercise. Dog care is my life. I have 2 dogs of my own and for the last 5 years we’ve been driving around Portland walking and taking care of as many dogs as we can. It’s the dogs world, I’m just happy to be a part of it. I make sure they are safe, happy and comfortable at all times.

“Hannah did an excellent job taking care of our kitties while my husband and I were out of town for a long weekend. She was very timely in her responses to my messages and she provided updates and photos throughout our trip. She came over to meet us and the kitties before hand and was very polite and professional. I would definitely use Hannah's pet sitting services again in the future.”

About: I was a veterinary technician (2 years) with experience caring for both small and large animals, and I spent four years rescuing and fostering animals. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic with a strong focus on emergency medicine, so I’ve seen firsthand how quickly things can go wrong and know what to watch for when it comes to your pet’s health and safety. I was a hospital technician for one year, meaning my job was to monitor patients, give medication, and notify the vet to any health changes. I plan to attend veterinary school in the near future, and in my free time I do TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for feral cats and volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I also minored in Human-Animal Relations, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and how they think. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, and safety is always my number-one priority. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall health, and I will never put your pet in an unsafe situation. Mostly, though, I’m just a HUGE animal lover. Getting to spend time caring for your pet genuinely feels like a treat to me. My favorite dog breeds are probably pit bulls and corgis, but my favorite animal will always be a cat. :) Boarding & Day Care I also have the perfect property for boarding, overnight stays, or day care! I live on a beautiful 5 acre property with 3 acres being a large fenced pasture where dogs can safely stretch their legs and explore. I’m a horse trainer, so I’m on the property every day and your dog will have plenty of supervision and attention. I’m also very careful about keeping dogs separated when appropriate. I do have a very friendly Lab who loves having dog friends, but they only interact if you’re comfortable with it and give me permission. The property has everything a dog could want for a little vacation- large grassy pastures, a creek, and wooded areas to explore. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and downtime. Most dogs leave happy, tired, and ready for a good nap! :) I’m also located less than 2 minutes from Silver Creek Animal Clinic, which provides emergency animal care. I pray nothing ever happens but it is conveniently close. Currently all proceeds are going towards childhood horse’s cancer treatment 😔 she took care of me as a youth so now it’s my turn to take care of her. I recently started my own horse training business, so I work primarily from my property and have an extremely flexible schedule. This makes pet care a really natural fit into my day! I feed and care for my horses around 8 AM and 5 PM, and I spend the middle of the day working and training them. I work with my Mom so she can care for the horses when I need to take care of your pets. During breaks between rides and training sessions, I’m able to spend time with the dogs, whether that means letting them run and play in the pasture, going for a walk, giving them some one-on-one attention, or just hanging out together. Working a horse takes about 45 minutes, where your dog will be left in a covered run where they can potty if needed. Because I’m on the property throughout the day, I can also accommodate early-morning or late-night drop-offs, bathroom breaks, walks, and other schedules that might be difficult for someone with a traditional 9–5 job. Your pet gets to be part of my everyday routine rather than being left alone for long stretches of time. I have plenty of space for dogs to exercise and explore, and I’m able to give them frequent attention throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent routine for my horses. I do not mix dogs and horses! I keep them very separate. Your dog’s stay will feel more like a little vacation than a traditional boarding facility! I have a 3-acre fenced pasture where dogs can safely run, explore, and get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I’m here throughout the day to supervise and spend time with the dogs. I keep all boarders separated from one another, unless you are dropping off more than one dog :) I also have a very friendly Lab who absolutely loves having dog friends, and I’m happy to let her play with your dog if allowed. You can see her in my photos. Otherwise, your dog gets their own space and one-on-one attention. I can get away with the your dog never knowing there is other dogs on property. There are several comfortable options for your pet depending on their needs and your preferences. Dogs have access to comfortable dog mats and fresh water, as well as a covered run where they can go outside and potty even when the weather isn’t cooperating. I also have large, heated horse stalls that can be used as comfortable private spaces. For dogs who are potty trained and comfortable in a home environment, they can also spend time inside my house or have their own room. I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re most comfortable with. Oregon winters can be rainy, but your dog won’t be stuck inside all day. When the weather is wet, they can run and play in my indoor arena or barn, which are both warm and provide plenty of room to move around. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and supervision. I’m on the property every day, keep boarders separated, and make sure every dog has fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and attention. Whether they’re running through the pasture, exploring the property, relaxing in the house, or curling up for a nap, I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re here.

About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

“Renata has been a great sitter - we've utilized her services a few times now and she's always been communicative and reliable. Highly recommended!”
