About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
“Kai took great care of my 2 dogs! Took them on a nice long walk, and made sure they had everything they needed. Also, he was able to book on very short notice! Would definitely book another walk with Kai for next time.”

About: I have a 4 year old excitable spaniel of my own who certainly keeps my life exciting! I have always lived with dogs and can’t imagine it any other way. But I also love cats! Nearly all my friends have cats and I have lots of experience pet-sitting for many of them. I love spending time around animals and would love to take care of yours! I have a full-time 8-5 job, but do have flexibility within my week. I wfh at least one day a week - sometimes more. Evenings and weekends are usually super open for me! But feel free to reach out about availability as my schedule fluctuates often. I have a small fenced yard with space for your pup to potty and run. I also have a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I have a crate that can be used if your pup likes a place to settle. My furniture is my dogs furniture and it would be the same for your furry friend too! I also have an animal loving roommate - so double the love.

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
“Felicia has been walking Mocha regularly for a few weeks now and we have nothing but glowing reviews! She is an excellent communicator and very in tune with our Mocha and building trust with a nervous pup. Recently, our dog has been recovering from an injury and Felicia has done such a great job adjusting her activities with Mocha to fit her needs right now 😊”

About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.

About: I grew up in a bustling home with a Pomeranian mix, an Aussie, and two cats. I have fostered dogs and some experience with reactivity training. I have experience pet sitting for family. I recently moved to Portland after graduating college, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to availability and am welcoming any breaks from the job application process. I am always alert to the pup and our surrounds to catch any hiccups before they might happen. In past dog training sessions, I learned a lot of skills like safety holds and how to swiftly redirect a dog.
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
“Kat is incredible with my dog. She is very patient and in-tune with her needs. She's very communicative and I fully trust that my pets will be in good hands when they're under her care.”

“I was so lucky to find Dillon to be our dog walker while I was taking care of the family dog. He is very experienced which was a huge help especially since Bogey (the dog) is a large pitbull. He was able to give me pointers which made my walks go much smoother as well. Dillon always responds to communications in a timely manner and he's a friendly and understanding person! I could tell he really loves dogs, and they love him. Should I need dog walking again I will not hesitate to reach out.”


About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!
About: I’ve owned dogs for over 20 years and currently have two corgis, so I’m very experienced with daily care, walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m comfortable with different personalities, basic medications, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as a corgi owner. I plan my days around walks, feeding, and playtime, so adding another pup fits in naturally. I’m consistent, attentive, and make sure every dog gets plenty of care, structure, and love throughout the day. I stick to each dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention in a safe space. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect their space while making sure their pet is happy, cared for, and on schedule. 🐶✨

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and even have my own fur baby of my own. We love animals and making new friends! I am currently working a remote flex job so I am able to choose my hours and prioritize pet care to ensure I’m able to give your pet what they need! I have my own dog, and we usually go out for walks around my neighborhood and visit the PSU campus and park blocks to allow my pup to be in more greenery! I also have a grass block that is right next door to my apartment so I am easily able to take the pets potty!
About: I have been a dog person all my life, taking care of family pets and in more recent years, pet sitting for friends, family, and new people. I’ve recently become a cat person, too, and I have a 2 year old black cat called Fig. She is the light of my life. I love spending time with animals, and getting to know them! Some experience with harness training cats, lots with potty training puppies. Seeking pet sitting gigs while I get settled in to the city! Open to continued work with families and pets that are a good fit. In your home, I always want to meet with you and go over the basics beforehand if possible. I respect your privacy, so want to make sure I know exactly where to find things that I might need (treats, cleaning supplies, extra food). I am a chronic door-locker in my own home, and will be the same in yours! Your safety and privacy and the safety of your pet are my top priorities.
“Julia has been very helpful pitching in for midday walks whenever we have schedule changes and cannot be home. We appreciate her flexibility, communication, and thoughtful attention to our dog!”

Violet is the sweetest! My pup is unusually anxious right now, as we're new to Portland. But Violet met Heidi where she was at-- letting her sit, sniff, or walk at her own pace, and was just so considerate. Heidi came back home a happy, tail-wagging girl! And so we've already booked Violet for future dates. 10/10 can easily recommend!!

Alexander came for a first solo walk with our 65 lb dog-reactive girl, and reported that everything went well! We were sent a lot of great pictures. At the meet-and-greet, Alexander really listened and absorbed all the mitigation strategies that we have for the leash reactivity (even taking notes!). Thank you, Alexander!

Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.

Scout loves Mathew! And she doesn't warm up to strangers easily. He asked thoughtful, detailed questions when we first met that demonstrated he was highly experienced and proactive. I'm grateful I found him and strongly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, experience help.

We couldn't be happier with the care our pets received! Yana took amazing care of our two dogs and our African Grey parrot for four days while we were away. We received regular updates and photos and it was obvious that my pets were loved, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Yana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking again.
