“Annagrace has been very easy to work with and does great with our excitable and strong pup Morgan. As long as she is available we hope she’ll be our regular midday dog walker !”

“Lauren is a fantastic dog walker and sitter. Her knowledge of dog training and care is unmatched, and she takes every possible measure to ensure dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for. When we adopted our dog, Lauren went above and beyond giving greet advice that made a huge difference in helping her adjust. She’s dependable, trustworthy, and treats every dog as if they were her own. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs. Your pup will be in amazing hands!”

“To whom it may concern, My name is Chloe and I have known Jill for roughly 6 years. In those years Jill has pet sat for me on several occasions. During Christmas she watched my kitty, Squeak, for two weeks. I came home to a happy healthy kitty. She scooped the litter, fed her, changed her water, ect. A few years later Squeak became geriatric and needed meds daily and extra care. Again, I came home to everything above and she left my home as I left it. Additionally, she brushed Squeak daily to keep her coat healthy! I was impressed as Ms. Squeak is very difficult with her medication. On another occasion she pet sat two of my other kitties, Rory and Frankie, who were both a bit more difficult with their temperament. Frankie also needed medication, and she did extremely well and played with them. My partner and I have agreed that Jill will without a doubt be the one to take care of our pets if we were out of town. I would trust her with anyone's pet! She is also amazing with dogs and other critters.”

“If you're looking for someone to watch and care for your pets, then you have found him. Tommy puts his heart into everything he does and is one of the best petsitters I've encountered. Considerate, caring, and communicative, you can be confident that Tommy will treat your pets like his own. They will thrive in his care, and you can rest assured that they will receive the attention they deserve when they are with him. Kick your kennel to the curb and reach out to Tommy to care for your furry friends when needed!”

“Sammi is absolutely incredible! Our pup just loves playing with her and she gives him all the love in the world. Sammie is super attentive and provides great updates and even gave us some very helpful tips with our new puppy. Highly recommend!”

“Hedda has been watching my cat Harrison when we are out of town for the last couple of years. Harrison always enjoys his time there. When I go and pick him up he always looks like he has happily made himself king of the roost. Hedda is fantastic about making sure his dietary needs are met (he is on a special diet) as well as giving him his meds. I highly recommend Hedda to anyone looking for a loving, trustworthy sitter for you fur kiddo(s).”

“We had a great meet and greet and Jackie showed up on time for her play date with Wally! She took great pictures and gave us awesome updates. Wally had a great time. Will definitely book again!”

“Few people are animal people, truly animal lovers, Jackiellen is one of us. I’ve known Jackiellen for nine years and I trust her with my cats and dogs, no one else. I’m confident Jackiellen will do whatever is needed for any animal in her charge, whether it be extra loving or an emergency trip to the veterinarian. It takes an animal lover to know one, I am and Jackiellen is. We are fortunate indeed to have her on overwatch of our four legged critters.”

About: - LVT | Licensed Veterinary Technician - CPDT-KSA | Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge and Skills Assessed - CPACO | Certified Professional Animal Care Operator *Grooming now available - more info at the bottom* I have worked with animals for almost two decades in shelters and emergency veterinary hospitals. Now I strive to provide the best pet care service you can find! My home, in the Parkside neighborhood of Portland, is a dog’s dream. I’ve worked hard to engineer my space to be the ultimate dog retreat to ensure your furry family members are not just cared for… here they will thrive! -Private, secure high fence (8’) backyard with locked gate and full security camera coverage (including in home as well) -Training reinforcement and advice done and given freely if requested. -Medication administration (including injectable) free if needed -Frequent walks, barring any health restrictions - Easy drop-offs; just bring their food. I’ve got leashes, bowls, toys, treats, poop bags, etc. - Flexible scheduling: this is what I do, and I’m here 99% of the time. Be late or early… I’ll work around your needs, so this is the last thing you can be worried about while you’re away! I don't currently have any pets of my own. My best friend- my first and only dog Fizban the Fabulous- passed just over a year ago from cancer. I am not ready for my next companion yet, but I fill that void by caring for yours. The hardest part is when they go home, but it's also a happy moment because I know they're going back to where they belong. GROOMING: Select the bath option, and your canine companion will come home fluffy and clean. I use high-quality shampoos and conditioners and use quality tools like the Furminator to deshed, brush, wash, and condition your dog so they come back fresh and clean! Puppy products are specifically used for puppies, and all products are free of nasty crap that doesn't belong anywhere near your dog. Nails are done as well, either clipping or grinding. Let me know your preference! My day revolves around caring for your pets—they are my routine! My favorite part of the day is waking up and sitting on the porch, hanging out with the furry friend you've left in my care, and enjoying a hot cup of coffee while they watch the squirrels traipse around the trees overlooking my backyard. I'm starting a new business, and much of my day is filled with planning and creating. Your furry friend helps me by being a muse and a source of calm. I help them by providing care, guidance, and support while you're away. It's a symbiotic relationship invaluable to me and, I hope, also to them. As a licensed tech and certified dog trainer, I know how to create a safe and enriching environment for your furry friend… canine and feline! I can identify medical issues early, should they develop, and provide care as needed. I also know when to take appropriate steps to escalate and will always err on caution. I will treat them with the same level of care that I would my pet. No temperament or need is too extreme, and in almost two decades of veterinary work, I have never been injured, even when dealing with some of the most fractious pets you can encounter. When accepting a booking, I consider temperaments, age, development, and needs. I will never put money before safety. If I have a fractious pet in my care, I will only care for that pet and not accept other bookings during that period. Please be aware there is a surcharge for this exclusivity as it does have a financial impact. Intuition, experience, and love go into every stay, and I strive to provide the best possible experience for you and your furry family member(s) you leave in my care. My rules are your rules. I will reinforce the behaviors you're trying to encourage. This won't be an Uncle Aaron situation, where they come to me for candy and go home to you for discipline. Consistency is critical in their growth and development, so they must hear and feel the same message with me as they do with you.
