House Sitting in Elwood

“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”

About: I’ve started walking dogs since I was walking in diapers. Throughout the years I’ve taken care of different sizes of dogs~ puppies to seniors. I’ve taken care of dogs that needed medical care and trained my dog and my grandma’s pup. I can say I know a bit of things when it comes dogs. I’m currently going to school in the afternoon and working at a part time, my mornings are almost always open and some of my nights. I’ll Still be willingly to work something out between those times. I like to take my dog out every 4 hrs even if he isn’t waiting at the door just to make sure he gets a nice breeze of the outside. I usually give him a cup of food every morning.

“Once again I needed a dog sitter for a few hours so of course I reached to Brooklyn. She is definitely who will be called to help with Wally when I need some time away. She's prompt, great communication with me and very attentive to my 7 month old T-Rex of a basset.”

About: I have my own car, I'm on time, I will take care of them like they were my owns. I've grew up with all sorts of animals. I've had dogs my whole life. I know how to control a dog fight it is happens. I'm a responsiable person. I don't leave the animals unattended for a long time. I let them out, give them water and food. They will get walked at least 4 times a day, makes sure they get some energy out and go to the bathroom. I love animals and I love helping people out. I feel like helping people out goes along ways. Will help you in the future sometime. I would love to have my own business when I'm older

“Aidan did a wonderful job caring for our two goldens and house while we were away for a week. He communicated consistently, sent regular photo updates, followed routines for our pups, and kept our home neat and well cared for. When we returned, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly tired from having so much fun and attention during the week. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book Aidan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Lyra was kind, soft spoken, reliable, friendly and took great care of our big boy. She stayed with in at our home and left our house as clean as she found it. We highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I have school during the weekdays from 8-9 am to 2 or 3. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.

“The best dog sitter we have ever had. Communication was outstanding, ours dogs and house were taken such good care of. Will 100% use Steven next time we need our dogs taken care of!”

Caitlin G.

“River is the best! She took exceptional care of our 80-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever for two weeks and truly went above and beyond by keeping our hummingbird feeders filled while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Her communication was excellent throughout—always quick, responsive, and reassuring. We highly recommend River and hope to have her care for our dog again soon!”

“Amir (and Tiana) were great! It was our first time leaving our puppy Nova for an extended period of time and first time using Rover but Amir sent plenty of pictures so we knew she was well taken care of. He checked in about giving her extra treats which we really appreciated. We'll definitely be booking them again!”

Lindsey R.

“These two are the absolute BEST. They’ve watched my frenchie a number of times and take the absolute best care of him. Not only that, they take great pics of him and my house is spotless every time I come home.”

“Amber did a phenomenal job taking care of my dogs and home for a week. She was communicative, responsible with our space, and a delight to work with. I would definitely rebook with Amber!”

Kate M.

“She was great! She gave us updates and ensured that our dogs were in good hands. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Sarah for taking care of our dogs.”

About: My family has had 2+ dogs and 3+ cats since I was very young, which has taught me how to care for animals long term. I've also raised and trained a German Shepard puppy into teen years. I've also had brief experience with a diabetic dog, who required shots twice daily. I am currently between jobs, so I love short-term (weekends) or long-term stays (1-3 weeks) with pets and getting to know them well. In my own home, pet care is a constant daily routine. This includes feeding all the animals 2-3 times per day, cleaning litter boxes, freshening water bowls, walking the dogs 1-2 times per day, and playing with the cat (to her abilities). My family currently has 2 small/medium dogs and a senior cat, who I take care of on a regular basis. The safety of your pet is the MOST important thing while you are traveling. As a sitter, I love to send small update (and pictures!) of how your pet is doing, to lessen anxiety while you are gone.

“Momo is amazing! She took such great care of Anouk and Klaus— treating them to long walks and lots of attention. Staying on a routine is the best things for my pups, and Momo honored that and more! She’s also a great communicator which gave us extra peace of mind while we were both traveling. I HIGHLY recommend Momo!”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

About: I have taken care of animals on and off all my life. As a kid, we had dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. As an adult, I’ve cared for fish, dogs, cats, birds and even some goats. I’m pretty open minded although I am not available for large reptiles. I work online as a Workflow Automation Engineer. I have a flexible schedule and am ready to meet most reasonable requests. I am based in Lake Oswego and have easy access to most areas of the Portland Metro area. I do my best to be a good stand-in for you and care for them in whatever way I’m instructed. They will be safe, well fed with plenty of play to keep them happy.

“Sparkle, as always, is an attuned and attentive sitter for my two kitties. I have one who is particularly sensitive that has cuddled right up to them and feels very grounded when I return home. My space was very clean and they sent cute pics throughout! Thanks Sparkle ✨!”

About: I provide calm, attentive care shaped around each dog’s temperament, routine, and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who benefit from extra movement and outdoor time, whether that means neighborhood walks, time at Sellwood Riverfront, Elk Rock hikes, Mt. Tabor, or any of your dog’s favorite spots. I also have experience with dogs who enjoy water play and understand how to balance activity with safety, pacing, and comfort. My goal is to offer a grounded, dependable presence so pets feel secure, engaged, and well cared for while their people are away. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care, including regular walks, outdoor time, and structured activity for dogs who benefit from a steady, active routine. Grounded, attentive care in SE Portland’s most walkable neighborhoods—Sellwood, Woodstock, Inner SE, and along the MAX Orange Line. Each day includes regular walks, outdoor time, and activity suited to your dog’s energy level, along with calm time to rest. I aim for a balanced routine that keeps dogs engaged, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Courtney did a great job with Watson. She took him for a walk and made sure he didn't feel all alone while I was gone. I would use her again if I need a dog sitter.”
