Pet Sitting Foster Powell

“Charlie is very kind and was super attentive to my cats and their needs! You can automatically tell he really loves animals and wants to give them the best care possible. He will be my go-to cat sitter from here on out! :)”

Hannah Noel N.

“Stayed extra long to make friends with my nervous orange tabby! Went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. Even had to play an impromptu game of hide and seek with him when he was hidden away. Truly appreciate how Karly really cared about my sensitive baby, Chonky. And jumped in when other care from a friend fell through. Thank you! Will definitely book again!”

About: We’ve all been there. Concert tickets in hand, no one to bail you out. The encore is gonna rip but it’s been 5 hours since your ninja has been fed. I gotchu! Enjoy the show! I’d love to help the same pets over and over again. No renegade owners or abusers Hit the town or enjoy the concert. I’m just relaxing. Your schedule is mine and mine isn’t in the way of your fun! Water, food, excrement. No particular order but all 3 are a must! Funny fish tank videos and WU-Tang instrumentals. Prolly some fetch and feats of strength.

“We have a bit of a high maintenance crew, & Raven not only made sure to keep their routine for us while we were away but also received approval nudges from our selective bengal, & affection from our shy ferret girl!! Which is the highest badges of honor in this household. Would highly recommend to anyone who has elder pets who need extra attention, & those who have anxious or selective babes. Thanks for giving us peace of mind, Raven!”

About: We have been pet sitting for over 12 years and have been lucky enough to own, foster, and dog sit many amazing warm little souls. We are highly experienced with deaf and disabled dogs requiring mobility devices as well. We have 2 fenced in yards (front and back). One yard is specifically a dog fun park with artificial grass, playground wood chips, a couple large rocks for dogs to stand on. Your dog will have unlimited access to outside with constant supervision. The house is well suited for your furry friend and they are welcome in all spaces in the house. We aren't afraid of accidents in the house, and have plenty of natures miracle dog cleaner on hand :). We will be loving and kind to your dog at all times. Dogs are welcome on all sofas and beds in our house. We currently 2 small dogs. Reading dog language and hearing all your dogs needs is something we find pride in. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!! Margo is a at-home artist and Joleen works from home full time at home. We are twin sisters who own our home together, so you get 2 sitters for the price of 1! We are always home and rarely are away at the same time, so your dog will always have a human by their side. We have 2 fenced in yards at our house. One yard is a garden and the other is what we call “the dog park” that we created and catered to dogs needs with turf, play ground wood chips, toys and much more. Both yards are fully dog friends and your dog will be able to explore both. We believe dogs should be able to go outside whenever they want so they will have unlimited access with constant supervision. We have 3 stair steps to access the house, if your dog has mobility issues, let us know and we will put up our dog ramp so your dog will not need to use the stairs. Dogs are welcome on all sofas, chairs and beds. We are easily able to separate dogs during feeding if that something your dog needs.

About: Hi! I'm Ignacio, but I go by Nash. I grew up with a dog named Scotty in the Philippines, and pets have been part of my daily life ever since. I recently moved to Portland, and now I take care of my sister's five animals: three cats and two dogs. That means feeding on schedule twice a day, giving medication to Earl, our 16-year-old cat, twice a day, and plenty of yard time with our medium-sized dog Nova and Rumi, a small Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix. Our cat Sebastian always tries to steal Earl's food, so feeding time takes some strategy to keep them both happy. I make it work. I'll send photos and updates so you know how your pet's day is going, and I always start with a meet and greet. It's the best way to know your pet is comfortable with me before you leave them in my care. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible, and I'm around during the day. That's a real advantage for house sitting, since your pet gets company for most of the day instead of an empty house. I'm available for overnight stays, and I can do walks or drop-ins most days with a bit of notice. I care for pets in your home, so my focus is keeping everything exactly as your pet expects it. I follow your feeding times, walk routes, and medication schedule, and I'll ask about house rules at the meet and greet, including which rooms are off-limits and what to do if something comes up. I'm comfortable giving oral medication to cats, and I'm used to dogs of most sizes, from a 16 lb terrier mix to a 45 lb Lab. If anything seems off with your pet, I'll reach out to you right away. We'll also go over your vet's contact info and what you'd want me to do in an emergency at the meet and greet, so there's a plan in place before it's ever needed.

“Thank you for being there when we need you - the boys seem to enjoy their time with you. I'm sure we will be rebooking with you again before long.”

About: My friends call me an animal whisperer. From the neighborhood cats and dogs, to the crows. I know that pets are more than just animals, they’re family. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility to heart. After all, what is life without our beloved pets? “What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? Would would this would be like without dogs?” Mary Oliver, Dog Songs: Poems I’m committed to maintaining a consistent routine for pets, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and is the star of the show while you are away. Your pet(s) safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I strive to provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your kitty feels secure and cared for in your home. I’ll respect your space, follow your typical routines, keep food and water fresh, maintain a clean litter box for the kitties, and make time for play, companionship, and affection at their pace. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and windows secure, and watch for any changes in their behavior or well-being. I will send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup or kitty friend is in caring hands. Every pet is so unique, and I’ll treat yours with the patience, gentleness, and love they deserve!

“Really lucky to have found Jessica! We hate to leave our finicky mature cat alone, but Jessica was patient and attentive during her visits, complete with photos and descriptive updates. It brought us comfort that Sascha was given such careful care and attention while we were away. Our home was kept clean and tidy too as an added bonus!”

Sarah O.

“Margaret did an excellent job with our two dogs. Her visits were prompt, and we really appreciated her care. We will use her services in the near future.”

Paul S.

“Simon was responsive and followed all instructions. My little dude was happy to see her during each visit and she left great summaries of each visit. Would book again.”

Paige P.

“Kathy went above and beyond to care for Saydee. We’re so grateful and 100% would recommend Kathy to anyone looking for attentive care for their pet. Saydee enjoyed a very comfortable stay at her house and we were worry-free knowing that she was really well looked after.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats in some capacity for the last 20+ years, but much more consistently for the last 18. Friends, family, and community members have relied on me to care for their furbabies in a multitude of ways. I have experience with pets of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs with high medical needs, as well as dogs of all sizes and a diverse array of breeds. I have experience working with chill and friendly dogs as well reactive dogs! I love stopping in during the day for walks, potty breaks, or playtimes in addition to overnight stays with feeding and all other responsibilities included. I am familiar with many basic training techniques and love working with pet owners on what routines/training they have in place for their pets so I can try to keep as much consistency for them as possible. Rest assured your pets will be in good hands. I currently work from home so am home most days with a flexible schedule. This gives me flexibility to do walks, feedings, and other things on a more flexible schedule to stick with any routines they might be on. My partner is also a pet lover and has a flexible work schedule so almost always one of us is home to keep your pets company. I have a fenced yard with room to romp and play. We also live close to several parks, including a large off leash dog park if your dog is able to go off leash. We have one indoor/outdoor cat that loves dogs and would be happy to smoosh up against your dog. If your dog isn't into cats, we can keep them separate. We used to have a reactive dog and managed this for several years. If we do need to leave your pet unattended in our home, we can crate them or leave them out. Our home allows several options.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner and experienced foster with a calm, home based environment ideal for dogs who need attentive, reliable care. I currently share my home with two of my own—an 8 year old Staffie mix and a 3 year old Heeler mix. Both are mellow, respectful, and gentle, creating a relaxed and welcoming space. We’ve fostered everything from teacup breeds to senior dogs, so they’re very comfortable around dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve fostered for many years and volunteered with several rescue organizations, giving me extensive experience with a wide range of breeds, behaviors, and individual needs. I’ve also worked with organizations supporting pet health in low-income and underserved communities, which reflects my commitment to thoughtful, dependable care. As a freelance photographer who primarily works from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and flexibility. I’m also a long-distance runner and can offer structured exercise for dogs who benefit from more activity. I have significant experience with brachycephalic dog breeds (including raising a Frenchie for 12 years) and am comfortable caring for dogs at all life stages, including seniors and those with special or medical needs. I have two teenagers who were raised around dogs, your pet will be in a calm, respectful, and dog-savvy household. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and truly home like environment where your dog feels at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. I’m a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule and primarily work from home when I’m not on assignment. I typically have my schedule planned at least a week in advance, which allows me to provide consistent, reliable care. A typical day here is relaxed and structured—dogs spend time lounging around the house or enjoying the yard when the weather is nice. We also do frequent shorter walks throughout the day, along with a longer walk for my younger, more active pup. I have a fenced yard with a grassy area and a pool. I’ve never had an issue with dogs going in, but I’m happy to set up a gate if needed for added safety and peace of mind. My dogs are calm and well mannered, but they’re also happy to engage in play if your pup enjoys interaction.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for over 20 years. Those wonderful years when they’re young and spry and full of ENERGY and also the wonderful years when they’ve slowed down and need meds and a lot of extra attention. They are all great years. I currently have all the flexible time I need to take care of your pets. Early morning to late afternoon work best for me and I can probably be persuaded for the occasional evening visit. We have a fenced back yard for our dogs and cats. Our dogs also get daily walks through our neighborhood. I’d prefer a fenced yard for my clients but indoor visits are also very nice.

“Claire was wonderful! She took great care of my dogs during drop-in visits and gave special attention to my older dog as she was recovering from a surgery. Highly recommend her for drop-in care needs!”

Jessica M.

“Highly recommend Kristy! Booked for drop-in with less than a weeks notice & Kristy replied promptly and cheerfully. Professional, very kind, trustworthy and my pup absolutely adored her. He looked so happy in all her sweet photos. Was our first time with Kristy and we’re looking forward soon to our next booking!”

About: I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking for over twenty years. I love Cats and Dogs and hope to provide them with the recreation and attention you may not have time for. Whether you're working late, or away for the weekend, count on me to help your pup get some exercise and TLC. At the moment, I have a pretty flexible schedule, available in the mornings or afternoons, seven days a week. I can be flexible for early evening bookings through the end of August as well. Your pet's care and well-being are my top priority. I work with clients to respect their boundaries and privacy and to meet any additional needs your cat or dog may have. Whether it's offering a meal or administering medication, I am happy to help.

“Lauren was great dropping in on my kitty over the weekend! She was on time, super responsive and communicative, and her update was very helpful! Would gladly book again!”
