“Alison met and exceeded our expectations! She provided excellent care for our puppy and made sure he had plenty of playtime while we were away and was ready for bed when we got home.”
“Whitney is incredible! She dropped in to walk our two dogs twice a day while we were out of town. She was very thorough with her check ins and I felt great leaving them in her hands. Would highly recommend Whitney!”
“Camille was wonderful! She was communicative, on time, & attentive to my puppy. I loved the updates & photos. Camille made me feel at ease that my puppy was taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Camille :)”
“Angela is AMAZING. She's always willing to come by - even if she is already in her pajama. Literally, no matter how comfortable or happy she is doing what she's doing, she'll drop it to ensure you can keep doing something that is making you happy. On top of that, my dogs LOVE her. They are visibly happier and less rowdy every time she stops in. USE HER! ”
“I had to leave for a few days for a work trip, and I was extremely anxious about leaving my little-old-man of a cat home alone. I wanted somebody who I felt was reliable to check in on him and to be available in case of an emergency. Anna was very friendly, helpful, and attentive to my pet's needs. She did a great job and gave me some much needed peace of mind for my trip.”
“Aileen provided feedback continuously and was down to follow through with an intensely specific feeding routine. She was kind towards us even as we were anxious about our first vacation away from our kitties.”
“Chew is enjoying his time with odalis he is less anxious/sad when I leave for work, there has been a lot of changes in his life and having a new person has really helped, thank you odalis!”
“We had to book a last minute sitter and Kathryn did not disappoint. Even our cat who is scared of everyone came out to say hello to Kathryn! Kathryn was kind, great with communication and made sure the experience was as easy as can be. Would definitely have Kathryn watch our pets again.”
“Jennifer was amazing with our cats! She sent daily pictures and notes about how they were doing. She had a knack with getting cats to play. Would recommend her and would like to have her back next time!”
“Alyssa was a wonderful pet/house sitter! She went above and beyond what I had hoped for. She not only fed and watered, she loved on every single animal. She brushed and scritched the cats, gave the chickens snacks, and fed my squirrels. She sent me sweet narratives and adorable photos. Thank you, Alyssa!”
About: I used to work at a Humane Society and I own 3 big dogs myself! I come to you with 5+ yrs of vet professional experience, as well as currently being an employee at a specialty vet in the area! I'm currently working full time at a small local vet clinic in Tualatin and I'd love to be more involved in the animal care game and in touch with the community. I have full availability on my days off, but am open to walks/drop-ins after work! Pets deserve their space and to be cared for on their own terms. I want every pet to feel loved and safe in my care. Let me walk your fur babies!
About: Hi I'm Kenzee! I live in Happy Valley, OR and I love hanging out with animals! I'd love to care for your pet if you’d let me! I have a quite a few years of pet and house sitting experience and have watched 3+ dogs at a time. I've been taking care of my own pets since I can even remember! I also am a certified Pet Care Specialist Lead at PetSmart PetHotel and Doggy Daycare, where I watch & work with up at 16 dogs at a time per play room! I am a very energetic and hard working individual. I am very responsible and am able to care for multiple dogs at a time. I am also able to care for any cats or other pets you may have. Thanks for trusting me with your furry friends!
About: I really don't what sets me apart from other sitters. I've had pets all my life. I've only just started dogsitting for neighbors about 2ish years ago and so far they like me. I'm currently unemployed so pet care fits perfectly well into my daily and or weekly routine. It's a good way to earn some money in between job searching. I can easily follow instructions if you have a pet who has a more strict schedule or I'm pretty chill if your pet does not need lots of care.
About: I’ve been caring for small dogs and cats for the past two years, helping out local neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping them company, I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy learning each pet’s unique behaviors—every critter has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them special. I’m a full-time student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s daytime check-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I’m available and committed to giving your pets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I also keep the home clean and secure while you’re away.
