House Sitting in Dodson

“Aaron was great with our White German Shepard and our kitty. He communicated very well and checked in daily sending pictures. We felt very comfortable on our trip knowing our girls were in good hands. We will hire him again! Thank you Aaron!”

“Erin was lovely and took fantastic care of our pups. Both of our dogs are difficult in their own special ways - one of them has a lot of attitude and energy and is aggressive toward other dogs; the other is blind, partially deaf, and incontinent. She seemed to handle them both beautifully with no problems and no hesitation. We received updates and photos of the dogs when we were on vacation. Erin kept us informed, was very responsive when we checked in, and was very organized and easy to work with. (She even went above and beyond and did laundry!) We felt that our pups were in very good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She has our highest recommendation!”

About: I’ve been pet/housesitting for the majority of my life! Growing up I was relied on heavily by many. I was consistently approached by family, friends, and neighbors. There were quite a few people that had me as their go-to whenever they needed the help and I made a strong connection with. I always get excited when people ask me to petsit for them! On top of that, I’ve done a lot of volunteer work at animal shelters, including dog walking, cleaning, and playing. I’m currently a SPED Educational Assistant, 8am-3:30pm every weekday at a school in Portland. Anytime around that I am free and willing, but I understand if that is too large a gap in the days as far as house sitting goes. Otherwise, my weekends are entirely free, as well as my summer break! I will accommodate to whatever needs must be met for your pet! I want to make sure your fur baby is completely safe, comfortable and happy with me. Every animal is different and I love to make space for them and learn about what they like, dislike, need, as well as their quirks and personalities. Connection and trust is very important to me.

“Maryola was on time, great communication, and fantastic with Meiji. She was very patient as he warmed up to her. She took him for his routine walk then interacted with him playing chase with tennis ball launcher. She really was tremendous and I highly recommend her. It's clear experience with her own pets and her working with them at doggy daycare developed skills to care for pets well!!”

About: With years of experience caring for animals, I’ve worked with elderly pets, high-energy breeds, and reactive dogs. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care schedules to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I take pride in being calm, attentive, and communicative so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love to see if I’m the right fit for your furry friend! I work from home full-time and have the flexibility to provide consistent care, walks, and updates throughout the day. I intentionally open my schedule on the days I’m fully available, ensuring your pet receives my complete attention and care. Safety and consistency are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk structure, medication needs, and home guidelines. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times and never introduce pets to unfamiliar animals without permission. In your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away.

“Cali was wonderful with our 2 dogs. She was a delight to have looking after our dogs. We definitely hope to use her again. Thank you Cali!”

About: I provide calm, attentive care shaped around each dog’s temperament, routine, and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who benefit from extra movement and outdoor time, whether that means neighborhood walks, time at Sellwood Riverfront, Elk Rock hikes, Mt. Tabor, or any of your dog’s favorite spots. I also have experience with dogs who enjoy water play and understand how to balance activity with safety, pacing, and comfort. My goal is to offer a grounded, dependable presence so pets feel secure, engaged, and well cared for while their people are away. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care, including regular walks, outdoor time, and structured activity for dogs who benefit from a steady, active routine. Grounded, attentive care in SE Portland’s most walkable neighborhoods—Sellwood, Woodstock, Inner SE, and along the MAX Orange Line. Each day includes regular walks, outdoor time, and activity suited to your dog’s energy level, along with calm time to rest. I aim for a balanced routine that keeps dogs engaged, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Libby had great communication, and great energy when she came to meet our dog before the first booking. While we were away she was good about sending updates and photos, and our house felt great once we returned.”

Rhonda S.

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”

Autumn S.

“Karen is everything you want when leaving an anxious weimaraner alone with a pet sitter for the first time. She’s communicative, sending updates by text and video to keep the anxious pet parents at ease. She’s compassionate, understanding Poppy’s need to speak out loud and sleep really close. She’s calming for all of us. We are confident we have found the perfect dog sitter.”

Theresa L.

“Hazel cared for our home and two cats and all was wonderful when we returned. Thank you Hazel!”

Acacia C.

“Did an amazing job of taking care of my two pups. Especially with one being dog aggressive she took extra precautions and did everything I asked. She sent me tons of pictures which I loved and was a very good at communicating. She stayed the night and had the house as I left it and even washed my sheets and made my bed after! All in all I’d recommend macynn for all your dogs needs will be going back for sure!”

Nathan H.

“What a pleasure it was to go away knowing my little man was in good hands. Mariela did a great job taking care of our Chihuahua,Bear, which at first is no easy task, but she mastered it. I would highly recommend Mariela and will use her services again in the future without hesitation. Wonderful job, everyone was happy. Thank you.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was in middle school. I have been a pet sitter for many people for a few years now (usually cats and dogs) but I am open to other animals. I have two cats of my own who I love with all my heart! I am trying to build my portfolio to eventually work in the veterinary field. I am currently taking a break from college but will be restarting this spring. Untill I start school again I am available most days. I will update my availability when it changes. I follow care instructions to a t. I love playing with animals and some good lap time. I can do pretty much anything whether an animal has special needs/ care instructions. And am open to taking care of other kinds of animals besides dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, the first dog I got was when I was 5 and I would walk her and play with her and teach her tricks. We currently have 3 dogs at my dads with a cat and 2 dogs at my moms house. I love spending time with animals and having fun with them I am currently in college playing softball and am home for the summer so I am free and looking to spend some time with animals and make some extra money! I can provide whatever care a client wants/do what they normally do for their animals and follow whatever a schedule an owner has setup for their animal.
