About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.
“Hannah is an all-star! She went above and beyond caring for my nine-year-old and puppy yorkie mixes. Not only did she ensure they were tuckered out on their walks, she took the time to engage in play with them and give them extra treats before she left to aid in the transition process. I feel lucky to have found such a caring companion for my dogs when I’m at work/school and need someone I can trust to check in with them throughout the day. I noticed a significant mood boost in my dogs when she started caring for them. Thank you, Hannah!!”
“Shiying has been excellent with our two dogs on their daily walks! She’s quick to respond and follows the instructions we’ve left for the dogs perfectly. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”
“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.”
“Grace has been walking my two pups for almost a year, and has always been 100%! One of my furbabies has been a puppy for most of the time, and I trust her to be under Grace's care!”
About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember and have cared for countless pets over the years. I previously had a Shepherd/Akita mix and currently share my home with two very loved Shih-Tzus, ages 12 and 6, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels and ages. I work from home, which means your dog gets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My home has a fully fenced backyard and a dog door for pups who enjoy having easy access to the outdoors. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family. I’m attentive, dependable and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. And, of course, belly rubs are my love language. ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals and plenty of attention. Your pup won’t be spending long stretches of the day alone—I genuinely enjoy having some four-legged company while I work! I have a fully fenced backyard, a dog door for easy outdoor access, and two friendly Shih Tzus who are used to sharing their home. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and sleeping routines and will make sure they have a safe, comfortable place to relax. Since I’m home throughout the day, there’s plenty of supervision, attention and, naturally, belly rubs.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my beloved canine to Sequoia's trusting care. Not only was Sequoia punctual, she sent me pictures of my dog during their walk. This made me so happy at work!”
“Nigel and Ruby are the absolute best when it comes to taking exceptional care of my babies! I know that when they have my littles I don't have to worry about a thing. Honestly, I wish I would have found these guys sooner!”
“Andi is SO GREAT. She walked Ellie again several times this week and it’s been a breeze. She is really knowledgeable about dog psychology and different breeds, has a calm assertive energy and a common sense approach which I appreciate so much. I’ll be booking her services again and would definitely recommend her to others. Andi is just a very pleasant person and I’m so happy we found her! Thank you Andi!!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs in the house, even one gerbil! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals since the age of 12, and I have experience administering medication and feel comfortable with any extra care your pet may require. I am a freelancer and my last contract ended recently. I am appreciating this downtime, which means I have an open schedule to provide care throughout the day for your pets. I would like to meet your pet in their own environment to keep continuity, and am happy to set up a check-in schedule with you for updates about your pet’s day and routine, including pictures if requested.
About: Hi, I’m Karissa — a lifelong animal lover with a calm, reliable presence and a genuine passion for helping pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs structure, gentle reassurance, or just a fun companion for the day, I show up with patience, consistency, and a lot of heart. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same level of comfort and security they feel at home, and to give you total peace of mind while you’re away! I’m in school and have time throughout the week to help out. Most days are a thumbs up for me! Hey Thanks for stopping by! Animals are the principals of our world. They teach us to live our lives! There is no leash tugging from me, consistent phone use, leave poop on the ground going on here. My walks and check ins are safe, reliable and fun with all animals.
About: There are few things I love more than animals. Walks maybe. Or good food. All animals have a special place in my heart, and it is an honor to help care for yours. To me, animals are people too. I am currently working full-time but dedicate time every afternoon and evenings to take walks. I’m up for whatever your pet(s) need whether that means a meandering stroll in your neighborhood, a social experience in a dog park or up some hills to get the glutes working. I am always ready and willing to try new hikes and walks. I prefer care in the clients home. The pets are more comfortable at home and my job is not to disrupt the animals routine. I love learning what works for your pet and implementing that routine in a fun healthy way for your pet.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been dog sitting for family friends, which has given me experience with different dogs, personalities, and routines. I’m also a CNA, so being patient, responsible, and attentive to the little things comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I work as an on-call CNA and am currently in an online BSN program I have lots of flexibility and can work around other peoples schedules! Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime while also respecting their space. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, make sure everything is left the way I found it, and send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
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.

Phoenix has a depth of knowledge I’ve yet to see in any other pet handler, such as breed-specific needs, training methodology, and difficult-to-spot signs of concern. I trust nobody as much as her to care for my animals as if they were her own, and cannot recommend anybody highly enough. Will always come back to her, fantastic job.
For the last 1.5 years, Sequoia has been adding joy to my dog’s life with all her adventurous walks. Not only does Sequoia send me updates about how my dog (Laika) did that day, she also adds little but important details about their walk together! This lets me imagine what a great time Laika had on her walk. A happy dog makes for a very happy dog-mom, and I don’t feel quite as guilty while at work. Thanks, Sequoia, for being so wonderful! We appreciate all you do.
10/10 Colby is the best! He's extremely reliable, trustworthy, and is the sweetest to our pup, Heidi! She absolutely LOVES when Colby comes over for walks and is sad when he leaves, which is actually the greatest praise ever :D And we have dozens more walks planned ahead already. We highly recommend him for your pup care and walks!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
