About: Hello! I've been pet-sitting for friends and families since I was a young teenager and have cared for all sorts of animals. I moved to Portland about a year ago and teach elementary school. I look forward to meeting you! I am a teacher so I work from 8:30 - 3:30 during the week. I'm able to let your pets out before and after school! I take great care to make sure the pets both in my home and in their own home feel safe and comfortable. It is important to me to understand any routines and schedules so that I can make your pet feel as relaxed as possible while their owner is away!

About: I have a beloved rescue pup (lab/pit mix) and am a responsible and reliable pet sitter/dog walker. I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of family members’ and friends’ cats and dogs for over 15 years. I love animals of all sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments. I look forward to meeting your furry creature :) As a public school social worker, I have a flexible summer schedule. I love being outside and meeting new animals so I’m happy to make time in my schedule for your pet. I have a friendly dog (1.5 year old lab mix puppy) who will keep your pet company and show them the ropes of our household. My home is clean, safe, non-smoking, and already puppy proofed with no children.
“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”
About: Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with plenty of love, patience, and care. I’m also great at following specific instructions and can provide regular updates and photos, so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I am Registered Nurse and it allows me have a very flexible schedule. I have most mornings, and afternoon free to take care of your pet. Your dog will be in good hands—and you’ll get photo updates and walk summaries every time. I’d love to meet your pup and give them the care, exercise, and attention they deserve!
“Welcoming and safe environment, grateful my dog got exercise, played with the kids, and was treated like one of the family. Appreciate this very much”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Kathleen B. She welcomed our dog into her family for the weekend and cared for him like he was her own. I highly recommend Kathleen B. I look forward to having her watch our dog again in the future.”
“My dog Porter was so excited to see Anne! He loves hanging out with her and her dogs. We never have any worries or concerns leaving our pup with Anne. 100% recommend her!”
“Kris took great care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. She was sensitive to all of her particular needs, habits and routine, snuggled with her on the couch, let her sleep in the bed with her and treated her as if she was her own while I was away. She gave great, personal and personalized care and attention and put my mind at ease that I knew my dog was being well looked after and taken care of.”
“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”
“My dog Molly had such a great time spending the week with Lucy and Ike! Throughout the process they showed they cared very much for my furball by sending updates on how she was doing and I immediately felt like the pup was in safe hands when I met them.”
“Rachel was wonderful. Lots of updates and pictures which really put my mind at ease as an anxious dog mom! She made sure to ask lots of questions to make sure she knew how to care for him as I would. He came back happy but tired from all the walks! Would definitely book Rachel again 😊”
