Sunshine watched my dog three times during my visit to Portland and I highly recommend her. She was responsible, communicated very well, and we were able to work together so that I could explore some non-dog activities, while she kept my nervous-nelly well cared for.

About: Hello my name is Qingru and I have 12 years of experience looking after cats and dogs. I can help train them and I enjoy playing with them. I do pet care full time and I can do long walks with your dogs. I also can do short or long visits to cats. Hello, I always make sure the dogs are well leash stop before exit the home. And I always double check if the home is locked behind me. I also make sure that your pet doesn't interact with other animals when we are taking our long walks.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. Our family dog passed a year ago and caring for my son’s dog has made me realize how much I love having dogs around. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with ample room for play. Your furry friend will love the fresh air. The yard is a partially shaded space with grass.

About: Hi! I’m Gage—a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets, I’ve done it all. My own furry family includes Greta, a friendly 3-year-old Shar Pei, and Phil, my laid-back cat. I currently work from home, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available every day of the week, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. I live in Portland’s Pearl District, right above Fields Park. This is where I typically take dogs for walks—unless you have another preferred spot! Fields Park offers plenty of green space, safe walking paths, and a fully fenced-in dog park for off-leash fun and exercise.

About: In my free time I like to take my cats for adventures & outdoor hikes! 🥾I’ve also had and taken care of my dogs since I was about 7 or 8 years old. I was previously a pre-vet major and now have my BS degree in Animal Science! I have volunteered, interned, and worked at a vet clinic as a vet assistant & know a fair amount about animals in general. I am currently a recent graduate and am new to the PDX area so I have availability that varies between weeks but feel free to contact me and we can make adjustments 😁! I have lots of experience with pets such as dogs and cats, I have cats on my own as well and overall I feel very comfortable handling dogs and cats and understanding their needs !

I can’t say enough good things about Trish as our dog walker! From the very first time she met our dog, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Trish’s nurturing nature and kindness shine through in every interaction. She always takes the time to connect with our pup and ensures they feel comfortable and happy during their walks. Not only is she incredibly caring, but she’s also highly professional, always showing up on time and providing updates with photos and notes after each walk. I can tell that our dog looks forward to their time with Trish, and it brings me peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and thoughtful dog walker!

I’ve known Gage for years and one of the things I’ve appreciated the most about him is his love for pets. Last year I was in overseas for my job and Gage took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cat while I was away. He was the only person I would have trusted with my fur-babies! He provided frequent pictures, videos, let me talk to them on the phone - ANYTHING I needed. My pets were in amazing care with him and I would definitely have him watch them again!
