Top rated Dunthorpe cat sitters
“Sara is a star cat sitter IMHO! The daily report details, the care, the many photos, the affection for my beloved cat, her excellent judgment on necessary tweaks put me at ease. I highly recommend her! I am having another sitter follow her for a remaining 14 days so I am answering these final questions about things I am not able to know yet, but I trust she left everything in good order, judging from her wonderful cat sitting.”
“Gretchen was amazing! She made sure everything we needed for our lil fur baby was taken care of and went above and beyond with monitoring her health for us as our cat had just started on new meds. We could not be more thankful and appreciative for the care she provided our needy girl.”
“This was my first time leaving my cat for a longer trip, and Victoria was great with taking care of my cat and giving me updates! And she helped me out when my flight was delayed!”
“Justin took amazing care of Michael and sent so many adorable pictures! She warmed up to him incredibly quickly and they seem to have had a great time together. Will absolutely be booking Justin again and recommend that you do too!”
About: 11+ years of personal experience with cats and dogs and also grew up with both cats and dogs in home. Now live in a super comfortable house in Lake Oswego with 1 dog, 1 cat and 2 kids under five. I work full time from home so am flexible with when I can visit or board a pet. Plenty of time to walk your animal or spend time with them while we hang inside. I have 2 large patios for lounging and live on a quiet street, which is perfect for taking a long walk. Love spending time and cuddling with animals.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs, two dogs and 4 cats over my lifetime. Both outdoor indoor pets and I am very active with them. Pets need love and support from us as much as we need it from them. I spent three years volunteering at the Oregon zoo working with animals. I am flexible and creative, easily adapting to pet's needs. I am also patient and calm with them. I have loved animals since I was a kid. I refused to hit a piñata at a party because it was animal shaped. I will love your pets as if they are my own. I am always happiest when I am around pets. I work from home on a salaried basis, so my schedule is flexible. Especially from early morning until 3pm. I can do quick drop ins and/or long stays if they need a little interaction. I pay attention to location of plants, making sure they are out of reach and not a hazard to pets. I make sure all toys left out are safe, not too small to chock on. Making sure toys don't have anything to tangle up with. I'll watch to make sure pets don't eat too fast and get sick.
“Lucinda was a great friend to our cats, sent us detailed updates, and was helpful when one of our cats was hiding out. We will definitely book with Lucinda again in the future!”
“If you are looking for a cat sitter look no further! Kristen is a cat sitter extraordinaire! When we go on trips we go into wilderness areas with no reception, so it can be a little nerve wracking to leave our four cats in a stranger's care, but after meeting Kristen and after seeing how she took care of our cat crew, we were able to truly enjoy our vacation. Anyone who knows cats know they need more than someone who just puts down food for them and checks their litter box. Every cat has a unique personality that requires attention and care. Kristen (and her husband Todd) took the time to get to know each of our cats and they really went above and beyond to make sure all the cats got attention and love while we were gone. We got a bunch of adorable photos and videos, and we always got detailed updates from each check in. Kristen also did all the classic cat sitter tasks perfectly, like making sure the water fountains were filled/clean, vacuumed the cat food mat area, and even cleaned up our catio area more than we asked her to. When we came home, she had stopped by several hours before and the cat food was perfectly prepared for the cats, the kitchen was spotless, and the cats were super content. It was pretty fantastic coming home from a long trip to a house full of happy cats and clean litterboxes. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“There is nothing better than coming home from a trip, and knowing that your pet has been well cared for. Sydney is so great with our cat, and when we got home today you could tell that she enjoyed her time while we were gone. Her coat looked wonderful from the brushings Sydney did, and she was clearly taken good care of. We also very much appreciate the great pictures that Sydney sends, and she is always great about communication!”
“Corinne was was a good sitter for us. She is very thorough and documents very well all that she does on her visits along with taking plenty of pictures! She definitely goes above and beyond. Thanks again!”
“Erin is so fantastic!!! We asked her to come on short notice since we had to leave and one of our cats needed eye drops. Erin went above and beyond to give our cat the medication each day and tried to make sure they were comfortable. Super reliable, super communicative.”
“Did an exemplary job looking after our cats — they loved her, they were obviously perfectly taken-care-of, and our apartment may actually have been cleaner than we left it. Having Christa catsit for us is a decision we feel great about and are eager to repeat.”
“I am so impressed with how organized Rachel is. She arrived with a pen and notebook to make sure she had all the information she needed. Lovely pics, timely visits. I fully recommend Rachel for your pet.”
“Charlie was amazing with our cat! She sent so many pictures and was super easy to communicate with when any questions or needs came up. I will definitely be asking Charlie to pet sit again!”
“Consistent communication, mishap on my part and she worked around it to make sure my boy was taken care of. Always cheerful and happy to come out check up on chief. 10/10 will request again.”
About: Friends and family chose me to pet sit because they know the care and attention to detail I’ll give their beloved pets. I have experience walking reactive and non-reactive dogs of all sizes. I’ll treat your fury family like my own. I work full time, 8 to 5-ish, M-F in the Tualatin area. Weekends I am in SE PDX. I’m available for before/after work and weekend visits/walks. My home is not currently set up for visits, but I’ll be happy to drive to yours. I’ll be happy to follow whatever instructions you have and I walk with a safety belt that includes noise maker, compressed air, air horn, and humane mace.

Marissa B.
“Marissa is a natural when it comes to caring for animals. She’s been a devoted pet parent for over 12 years—loving and caring for her sweet cat and energetic dog as true members of the family. Her experience juggling the different needs of both pets has made her incredibly attentive, patient, and reliable. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just quiet companionship, Marissa knows how to make animals feel safe and loved. She treats every pet she meets like her own, paying close attention to their routines, quirks, and comfort.”
David G.
“I have known David for the past 30 years, as he and his family are my next door neighbors. David and his family have had pets, both dog and cats, as long as I have known them. I think I remember that at one time he also worked or volunteered at the Metro Zoo. He is always friendly and enjoyable to talk with. I have trusted David to be in my house to care for my cats feeding and litter box cleaning while my wife and I are out of town. He even goes so far as to spend time socializing and playing with them during his daily visits. I will always consider reaching out to David first to watch my pets, and highly recommend him as a qualified and trusted pet caregiver to anyone.”
