“Cassandra was amazing! She loved on our sweet girl made sure she was all taken care of while I was out of town and even dealt with me forgetting to turn off the alarm multiple times. Will definitely have her back!”

About: I have had dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs. Both are Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Trinity is our senior girl 13 yrs old, and Shira who is 2. I have had the most experience with big dogs (mainly German Shepherds and now Rhodesian Ridgebacks). I have done Schutzhund with my shepherds and have done dog shows and obedience shows locally with my Ridgebacks. Our dogs and the ones I take care of are always my priority. I treat all dogs like they are mine so they get all the love, snuggles, and attention they want. I have a safe and secure home and yard. We have a 3/4 acre completely fenced back yard fenced to 6 feet high. We are in the country and have lots of bunnies for them to chase. We also have a creek on our property that in good weather would be fun for the dogs to play in. I have some agility equipment that I will break out when the weather is nice and let dogs go through those or show them how. For rainy days we have toys and dog puzzles to keep their minds active. We also have a shop that I can put up agility equipment when the weather is lousy and cold so they can chase each other around in there if they are getting antsy. I also do daily obedience with my own dog and any other dog that is with me and wants to join in. While most of my experience has been with big dogs, I will work with any style and breed of dog after I meet them and we get to know each other. I also have experience working with packs of dogs, as at one time, I had a large pack of both German Shepherds, and then Ridgebacks. I also have a lot of experience working with puppies and can help with basic training. I seem to have a knack to help dogs who normally don’t eat or are very nervous when being left with someone else. I have had many boarders who’s moms and dads said were picky eaters or wouldn’t eat for a couple of days and somehow with me they eat well, don’t miss meals, and many times expand their diets. If you have a dog that takes medication I can, and have, administered meds that their parents bring. But I will only administer prescription meds written by a licensed veterinarian to the specific dog with explicit instructions. Bottom line, I don’t just “board” dogs. They are part of the family and treated as such until you get back. They Are talked to, interacted with by my dogs and myself and my husband all day long. They aren’t just put in a room or left outside to fend for themselves. They are truly being loved and cared for from the minute they are dropped off until the minute you pick them up. My husband and I are retired so I am full time at home now. So I can board 7 days a week. And overnight care at my house will be my specialty as you never have to worry about your dog being left for hours during the day or night. I have a very “dog friendly” home. That being said my house is clean and fairly tidy. I clean daily to make sure the dogs are in the best environment. My goal is to have your dog go home with you better than when they came. If they are full of mud from playing outside in the rain they will be washed and dried before they go home. If their nails are too long I will cut them (if the dog allows). If they need to be brushed, I will brush them and often give them a massage…this is especially good for the nervous dogs. If they are scared and feel nervous they will be returned happy and calm from being pampered while you were away. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture including our bed and can play inside or outside with my dogs who are very friendly to other dogs and people. I don’t crate any of my dogs and don’t require dogs that stay with me to be crated during the day or night. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night I will follow your instructions if you bring the crate that they are used to. Many of the dogs that I board sleep in our bed but they also have very plush beds throughout our home that they can sleep on overnight or during the day for naps. Wherever they feel more comfortable sleeping is fine with me even if they don’t want to be in our room with us and our dogs.

“She is so helpful and compassionate toward my dog! 5 ++ stars!! I look forward to booking Jessica again”

“Susana has an amazing calming and friendly demeanor which was perfect for our sketchy little nervous cat! Susana understood what that meant, and knew how to react to a cat who didn't want to be touched or messed with. She sat next to Freya for the visit without touching her and Freya didn't run away or hide from her, which says even more about Susana. Kind, understanding, and thoughtful - exactly who Freya needed while we were gone. Will definitely book again next time we're heading out of town. Thank you Susana!! We would give more stars if we could!”

About: I have over 4 years of experience pet sitting and house sitting for family, friends, and others in my community. I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals with different personalities, routines, and needs, including dogs, cats, and other household pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication and special routines when needed, as well as keeping pets company and giving them plenty of attention. I also have experience house sitting and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable in their own home while keeping the house clean, safe, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule with most mornings and afternoons available, as-well as some evenings. I’m available for pet sitting and drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as weekends after 2:45 PM. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that fits their pets’ routines and needs. I prioritize keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m experienced with caring for pets in their own homes. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship. I treat every home and animal with respect and care!

“Shelby is reliable, excellent at communication, and goes the extra mile to ensure animals are well cared for. I appreciate knowing my pups and chickens are in good hands.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I have 2 kitties of my own as well! I’ve taken care of energetic Huskies to tiny Yorkies, plus a few other adopted cats along the way. I have experience helping to train puppies and keeping up with the daily responsibilities of both cats and dogs. I also have experience with goats, pigs, chickens and horses! I am currently studying to become a dental assistant, and I’m excited to share my love with your pets too! I have experience with my own independent pet sitting business. I did pet sitting for a couple years around my neighborhood in middle school as well! I currently work part-time 4-5 days a week, while taking 2 night classes a week. Which leaves me with plenty of hours to dedicate to your furry companions. Right now, I usually work mornings, and occasionally in the evening typically between 5-7 hours. So I have lots of availability in most evenings. Please keep this in mind if you are looking for a pet sitter to be fully supervising your fur baby/babies all day, this may not be the best fit. :) I’ve cared for dogs in a variety of settings, including fenced yards, cable runs, and supervised free roam. I’m experienced with crate training and handling dogs with different leash manners, from strong pullers to well behaved walkers. I have handled elderly dogs, administering oral and injectable medications. I have also dealt with young pups, and cleaned up potty messes. For cats, I’ve always kept them safely indoors and monitor them to ensure their well being. I do my best to clean up and leave the house how it was when I arrived! I do my best to stay connected to my clients, updating them frequently/or asking questions. I do not book house sits until after the meet and greet, and all information is disclosed. I am honest about my availability and will be sure to communicate that to my clients. Do not be afraid to pick someone else if we find it won’t be the best fit! I appreciate all transparency in order to make sure your pets get the best quality care they can.

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have a passion for making sure they feel loved! I always had pets growing up with my family having up to 3 dogs and 5 cats at one point! My fiance and I now have our own 2 year old Golden Retriever who is full of energy and loves making new friends! I'm currently a full-time online student at Clark College so I'm always home taking care of my Golden Retriever. Between my fiance and I there will always be someone home! We live on a acre of land and backyard is fully fenced in so there's plenty of space for your baby(s) to play and run!

About: I provide reliable, loving, personalized care for every pup, treating your furry family members like my own with patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care so every pup feels safe, happy, and at home. 🐾❤️ My home has a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and I share it with Penelope, my friendly two-year-old tabby cat. I prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated on your furry family member.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, from big to small and both cats and dogs and i’ve always loved animals more than anything. I’ve also dog sat and taken care of neighbor, family members and friends animals and it’s more of a hobby and less of a job! I will feed, exercise, bathe and comb animals if/when needed and will love every part of it!! I work part-time at Anthropologie with flexible scheduling—typically 4-hour shifts a few days a week. This gives me plenty of availability throughout my days to hangout, play, and care for your pet! I've always been comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. My schedule varies weekly, but I'm very reliable about communicating my work shifts in advance so we can plan accordingly. I live with my mom and our friendly pup Halbert, and we have a fenced backyard that's perfect for dogs to run around safely! I'm pretty active and love exercising, so any dog staying with us will get tons of walks, playtime, and attention. Between my mom and me, there's usually always someone home with the pets, though I'm the main one taking care of them. We're both huge animal lovers and understand the importance of good care. Our place is super dog friendly—we let our dog hang out on the couch and sleep wherever, but I can also put them in a crate if needed. I'm totally flexible though, so just let me know what your dog's routine is like at home and I'll stick to whatever works best for them!

“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She was caring, attentive, kind, understanding, and very flexible. I especially appreciated that she kept me updated and sent me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and made sure everything was going well. I would absolutely recommend Laura and would be very happy to book with her again!”

About: I’ve been dedicated to dogs for most of my life. My current best friend, Arty was a stray and then was at shelters for a long time before I adopted him. He had issues, but I didn’t give up on him. I took him to manners class and used marker training to work through his issues. He is now a well-balanced boy. He loves to pose for pictures, for treats, of course. I would love to care for your pet when you’re away, in your home or mine if your pet is a good fit with Arty. I am a fit and active retiree. I go for long walks every morning and work out at the gym four days a week. The rest of my days are dedicated to my dog and gardening. I have a large fenced yard that is perfect for dogs to play and do zoomies. I have a large dog door and my house is dog friendly, with dog beds and throw rugs on a hardwood floor. I have a rear gate in my car and a dog hammock on the middle seat.

“Roree did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I was in need of a last minute dog sitter to let the dogs out, feed them and then get them settled back in for the evening. I appreciated how kind Roree was and how well she got along with my 2 dogs.”

About: Hi! My name is Brooklynn and I have been pet sitting for seven years now. As an animal owner myself, I understand the fear that can arise when leaving your pets alone to go on vacation. My number one priority is to treat your pets with as much love and care as my own. I have experience with dogs big and small, as well as experience using doggy diapers and giving oral medications. I have experience watching up to six dogs at a time! I’m currently a nursing student, so with each day looking a bit different for me, it’s a bit difficult to work. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule however, thanks to no need for a fixed schedule! Communication is a must for me. I want you to know your pets are safe and I want to know I’m caring for your home correctly!

“My cat is very shy when it comes to meeting new people. As expected, she hid when Rachael came for a meet & greet, but she came out from hiding much quicker than anticipated and even allowed Rachael to pet her. I felt comfortable leaving her in Rachael’s care knowing she was comfortable with a new person!”

“Awesome Person and great with the fur babies. I will always work this person great with our pups along having a great heart.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have been pet sitting since I was young! I have my own dog Ziggy who gets along very well with other dogs but he also has alternative options to stay if your pup needs solo care! Dogs help me fill my days and nights with love and company which we all need in life! I have a flexible schedule, am personable, caring, and responsible! Your dog will feel like they are on a staycation when they are with me in a place that feels like home💖 I'm currently unemployed and have full availability to pet sit! I have a car so I'm able to offer pick up and drop off as well. Overnights and extended stays are more than welcome! I am attentive and give all my attention to the pets in my care. I’m much more patient with dogs than people lol. Making sure they not only have what they need, but also want! I love taking walks with my dog and lounging in my downtime. I don’t have a yard but live in a beautiful NE PDX neighborhood with plenty of options for adventures!

About: Currently a part-time nurse looking to make a few extra bucks taking care of your fur babies. I am a dog mom, myself, and would love to drop in and take care of them or help them get their daily exercise!! Working part time and schedule can vary. If my calendar says I’m unavailable, please don’t hesitate to still reach out — I may be able to work out a time on that day with you. I try to be as flexible as I can 🐾😊 I can either drop in to check on and feed your pets, or I stay and give them some attention and time to get their energy out. I can also take them out on walks around the neighborhood! I love mixing it up with running/walking, as tolerated by the pups. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but I’m happy to stop in and check on them!🐱

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.
