1. Destiny R.

“What can I say? Destiny was amazing! She provided plenty of updates and pics, was super patient and attentive with both my pets (who both took to her VEYR quickly) and she even left the house in better condition than when she arrived! Destiny went above and beyond. I'd give more than 5 stars of I could!”


2. Stephanie J.

“Stephanie was very responsive to any questions, and best of all the animals were all very calm when we got home. They usually are overly excited when we return from a trip so this was a relief. We feel she did a great job of looking after our 2 cats and dog.”


3. Heidi S.

“Heidi was a wonderful choice to watch Pip while we were away for the weekend. She kept him super active and entertained him. She provided lots of updates/pictures along the way and we knew he was well cared for. My wife and I highly recommend for others needing pet sitting. We will absolutely use Heidi’s services again when traveling in the future.”


4. Viva L.

“We love having Viva watch our dog, Gretchen! She is so good with our pup and sends lots of pictures and updates. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”


5. Sergey T.

“Sergey was terrific! He came by to meet our dog before the pet sitting appointment and was very patient and caring. He was on time and dependable. If we visit Portland again we will definitely ask for him to pet sit our dog again.”


6. Bryan R.

“I have a reactive dog and stress when we have to leave her but after meeting with Bryan and him interacting with my dogs I wasn’t worried at all. Highly recommend. Literally never met someone so passionate about dogs and their wellbeing.”




7. Josh R.

“Josh did a great job at communicating with me throughout the entire time that he took care of Chance. I feel like he gave him lots of attention and seeemed to really enjoy spending time with him. I will definitely use Josh next time I need a walker.”


8. Tamara H.


“We had Tamara come for a few hours to watch our two dogs!! They loved her and their walk. We came home to two very happy pups! She also left us a lovely card wishing us a Happy Anniversary with sketches of our dogs. We look forward to booking her again soon.”


9. Jessica W.

“Jessica was easy to work with, sent me frequent updates and everyone seemed happy and calm when I returned home!”


10. Sydney B.

“Sydney was great! She took excellent care of our three dogs and two cats while we were away and it was clear from the photos that they had a great time!”


11. Jackiellen B.

“Jackie was awesome..though Buster was whining when I left Jackie sent me a picture of him as happy as could be. This alone made me feel that my best friend was in great hands..”


12. Katey B.

“Katie is wonderful with our animals. We have used her services numerous times. She is extremely knowledgeable about animals, their care and their demeanor. Katie is very patient and also stays in constant communication, in case you have any questions or concerns about your fur babies. I would recommend her to everyone!”


13. Crystal T.

“Crystal watched my pup for a weekend when I took a last-minute trip out of town. She was communicative and sent pictures of my happy dog throughout the weekend, which made me feel so at ease. I came home to a relaxed dog and my apartment was even cleaner than when I left it! Would hire Crystal again.”




14. Amy Y.

“Amy was a gem house sitting with our two kitties. One kitty loved her and our neurotic kitty hid most of the time, but that wasn’t Amy’s fault. Amy offered to wash sheets and towels and dishes, which I thought was extraordinary. She communicated well with us while we were away and sent us pictures of the kitties too. I would definitely hire her again.”


15. Amelia P.

“Amelia was wonderful. She made the extra effort to have a meet and greet with our puppy, Mojo, before the evening she did her dog sitting. As for the dog sitting itself, she went the extra mile to make our puppy feel safe with her as a stranger, and by the end of the evening, Mojo and Amelia were good buddies. She also kept us informed how our puppy was doing while we were away. I would recommend Amelia for pet sitting without any reservations whatsoever.”


16. Jeanelle D.

“Jeanelle took great care of our girl Gretchen while we were out of town for a few days. Very communicative with us and attentive to our pup. Highly recommend!”


17. Dana D.

“Dana was a fantastic dog sitter for my two dogs. She provided several photos and walked the dogs outside 3 or more times daily. Highly recommend.”


18. Robert B.
“We - and our cats - were very happy with Robert’s house sitting. We were in regular contact during our 3-week absence and Robert took very good care of everything.”


19. Alexandra E.

“Alexandra was awesome! She responded to a last minute request, came over to meet our doggies and both of them loved her! She was so good with them, took care of them and our house, sent updates and pictures of the dogs playing. When we came back the house was clean and our dogs were rested. We’re super happy and would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again anytime! Mega recommend!”


20. Bryanna W.
“Brie is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to working with dogs. Currently owning a dog alongside her and having witnessed her interactions with her family pets, I can vouch that she is a wonderful owner and cares deeply about animals. She has experience with training working dogs, and I’ve seen her effectively utilize this knowledge when caring for my uncle’s dogs, whom are all trained with either bomb sniffing or drug sniffing, as he previously handled dogs for security and military/law enforcement purposes. She was able to work with them as efficiently as anyone i’ve seen besides him. She also has assisted neighbors in caring for their dogs on multiple occasions, and she has shown to be able to quickly build trust with dogs with her knowledge of animal behavior and natural affinity toward caring for animals. She is also able to organize her time well and has shown excitement for getting to interact with more pets, which is great because when she gets into something, she becomes very efficient in the area of interest.”
