House Sitting Edgemoor

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I can remember. My family has had three dogs, four chickens, and a cat in my life with different needs and routines. I love animals and am able to adapt my pet sitting style based on their needs. My pet sitting experience ranges from a miniature schnauzer puppy to an old farm dog retriever. I will be shadowing at a Physical Therapy clinic, as well as peer mentoring for summer courses, so I will most likely be gone during the day. I am a morning person, so I don’t mind having to wake up early to make sure the pets need to go to the bathroom or get fed. I can adapt my schedule to fit the needs of your pet pretty easily, I am able to juggle many commitments at once. I am very detail-oriented, so I can follow any routine or set of care instructions precisely. Pets can be like an extra family member, and I understand how it is important to find someone you can trust to take care of them like so. I approach every new pet I meet with love and care, and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If there are any special needs or time where a pet needs, I make sure to set alarms and reminders so I don’t forget. When I interact with a pet, I make sure to read their body language so I don’t overstep any boundaries they may have.

“Madison is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home for 7 days with our two very large and excitable dogs. This is the longest we have ever been away from them in the almost 9 years we’ve had them. We were very anxious as these dogs are our children. Madison was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that us and our boys had a good experience. She did brushing, gave medication and helped them brush up on some of their training skills. The boys loved her, and her updates gave us great peace of mind. She left our house very tidy, and was considerate of our space. This was my first experience with rover, and Madison knocked it out of the park. Tucker and Toby can’t wait to have her back next time. 100/10 recommend Madison for your furry friends. ❤️”

“Sammari took great care of our dog while we were away. She always responded quickly to messages and made efforts to be aware of our dogs’ needs and be prepared for the house stay. Our dog and house were in perfect order when we returned.”

“Matt was fantastic! My dog can be a little challenging at times, but Matt was determined to make Baxter comfortable with his stay and to become good buddies. He was communicative, took Bax on great walks, left the house clean, and my dog seemed so happy when I arrived home! Will definitely be using Matt in the future and highly recommend him to anyone searching for a great dog sitter!!”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, dogs that have complicated medical needs to dogs that are lax and can do everything on their own. I’ve always grown up with cats as well as a plethora of other animals including fish, lizards, birds, and frogs. I’ve housesat for multiple people over the years and have received much positive feedback! I’m working evening at a restaurant from 3pm to 8pm, so it doesn’t cause much shift in my capability to care for your furry friends! I am more than happy to stay at your place in caring for your pets or if easier/preferred, I can stop by intermittently throughout the day to give your pet the care it needs.

“Taylor is a very communicative, enthusiastic, and attentive cat and house sitter. She provided lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, and we came back to a tidy home and happy cat. We will be booking with Taylor again if we can!”

“Charlie was great! He’s a repeat. We have two dogs that are hard to deal with because of their past but Charlie managed to win them over and even get one of them for a walk. I would strongly recommend him!”

Joaquin R.

“Skyler is top notch. Right from the start, communication was great. Unfortunately my dog decided to be a big jack@$$. He acted up right as I was packing to leave but petting on my bed. He ended up nipping Skylar and being a grumpface, making her job more difficult. She handled it like a pro and even given the option to finish the stay, with minor adjustments she gladly continued. I very much appreciated her commitment. 5 stars from me!”

Lizz R.

“Adrianna was great! She provided helpful updates and photos throughout her stay and left our home in great shape. Our cat was happy and well cared for. We plan to book with Adrianna again.”

Robin W.

“Katarina was communicative and helpful, I felt that my dogs were safe when I was out of town and service! She was so helpful at the last minute, and we will definitely book with her again!”

About: Ready to adventure with your pets! 🌲 *For more videos & pictures check out my IG: petcarepdx ABOUT ME Being raised with 3 Pugs, a mini Aussie, and 2 chihuahuas, my transition to professional pet care was very smooth! I started at a dog walking company in Portland in July 2021 and recieved a promotion within 3 months. And by Winter 2022 I transitioned to full-time employment as an independent pet care provider. I am very familiar with high energy large strong pups that like to pull sneaky tricks and play 🐕‍🦺 Alongside dog walking, I cat sit frequently! 🐈 I have also cared for specialty pets such as rats, bearded dragons, bunnies and guinea pigs! 🐁 I've taken care of many special needs & rescued pets, and spent a year fostering a sweet kitty! I’m open to every pet! I moved to the bay in August, but prior to my relocation I had established many trusting relationships with clients and provided reoccurring care for their sweet pups & kitties for over a year. It was definitely tough to say goodbye. However, I’m very excited to be creating more wonderful relationships with clients and pets here in Oakland! I am open and looking to take house sitting gigs in Portland and traveling up to visit! I always approach with a gentle and calm demeanor, so animals aren’t overwhelmed. Safety and ensuring their needs are met is #1! I am always willing to follow training practices owners have in place. Please note combo walks are not a requirement and will be up to the individual dogs' needs and client requests. I lean towards R+ walking and prefer to walk pups with harnesses and no prong or choke collars. I love to take pictures and give detailed updates as I find communication to be very essential to pets’ care! Please say hello, I’d love to chat about how I can help take care of your sweet pals!

I currently live in Oakland, California but previously lived in Portland for two years! SCHEDULE -I accept reoccurring walks M-Thr 10 AM - 5 PM -I accept one-time walks outside of those days & times Please include an acceptable time window of arrival in your request. OVERNIGHTS I can provide walks, enrichment time, and attention for pups! I unfortunately cannot watch pups that are unable to be alone as I would like to spend some time outside of the home. Depending on the pups and their needs I’d love to take them on adventures! If adventures aren’t in the cards for them I am still able to provide care in the form of walks, quality time, and enrichment.

About: I’ve always taken care of animals since I was a kid and always did a wonderful job with them and always got compliments and smiles! I currently work 9:30am to 2:30pm Monday-Friday with plenty of evening availability so I’ll have lots of time to take care of your pets and provide amazing care! I make sure they are safe and comfortable, I do my best to keep them hydrated and fed and make sure they have plenty of potty breaks and aren’t left alone for too long.

“Sophia was absolutely amazing! She took time to meet my pup ahead of the stay and then communicated and shared photos throughout the stay. She was beyond patient with Shadows needs, and navigated a challenging moment incredibly. She is a gem!”

“Absolutely incredible experience with Taylor 🌺🐾 From the moment we left, we knew our fur babies were in loving, caring hands. The constant updates, attention to detail, and genuine aloha spirit gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and clearly spoiled pups. Mahalo nui loa for treating our pups like part of your own ʻohana! We would trust you again in a heartbeat and highly recommend you to anyone looking for world-class care for their furry family members. 🌴☀️🐶”
