Pet Sitting Foster Powell

“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”

About: I found my first stray in 1996 in SE Portland. He was amazing and our hearts have been full ever since. I have 12 years experience as a vet tech. I’ve since retired and have been walking dogs for the last 6 years. I volunteer at Oregon Humane and help out at my husband’s pizza shop. I have a steady base of walks with room for a few more. Available Wednesday through Saturday (and occasionally Monday and Tuesday.) I am currently not offering dog boarding, but have a fenced in yard. I have two reactive dogs and may offer that in the future.

“Raven took it slow with Molly on her first visit, gave Molly time to smell things out and wander around the house with her there. Within a short period of time, Molly was all kisses and cuddles with Raven, even got her out for a walk on the first visit. Raven is so patient and calm with hesitant/nervous dogs. She's a bit of a dog whisperer. Molly loves you Raven, looking forward to the next visit 😍”

“Gera deamlessly stepped into our medical routine for our geriatric cat. She was very communicative, reached out with clarifications in places our instructions weren't explicit since she knew how delicate our cat's health can be. We really appreciated her diligence and care of our high needs cat.”

“Grace was amazing - prompt responses, lots of photos of my cat and she followed care instructions perfectly. Her communication was great and she provided not only fresh food and water but also playtime and pets for Kichka to make sure she wasn’t lonely. I knew Kichka was in caring hands and was safe with someone who knows how to treat animals - even though my cat is usually shy around strangers she was comfortable enough to hang out with Grace and get lots of videos taken! I felt so at ease knowing Grace was taking care of her and updating me in detail. She is very knowledgeable and kind”

“I cannot recommend Angela enough. Our cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes and requires blood sugar checks and insulin injections. Angela handled this perfectly and provided thorough updates on his status. She came over to learn how to care for him and took detailed notes. Angela is very professional and clearly has a deep love for animals. She is a pleasure to work with. Look no further— you’ve found your pet care angel!”

“ChristyLynn was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request. She was great with the dogs, they sense right away if someone is a dog person and she definitely is. She asked if it was ok for her girls to come for an evening visit and the dogs loved that. Great communication and appreciated the pics. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I love all dogs like they are part of my family and treat them as such under my care. I have experience with all ages (including puppies and seniors) and many temperaments. I will meet your pup where they are at and make them as comfy as possible during their stay. I have a long history of both owning and caring for dogs. To me, a fur baby is family and any pet entrusted to my care is treated with the same love and affection as I would with my own. I would be honored to spoil your pup (with what you and your fur baby are comfortable with). I have experience caring for many different sizes, temperaments, personalities, limitations, and quirks that dogs come with.

About: I work for a doggie daycare and dog walking company and I walk up to 10 dogs at a time by myself in all kinds of weather. In hot weather, I bring them to shaded parks. I use healthy treats for training and every dog improves, some dramatically. My business partner and I have given sick or injured dogs wagon rides on paved bike trails to get them fresh air and socialization with their friends. At the time of this writing, between the daycare and Rover, I have worked with 80 dogs. I am currently working full time on weekdays, but I’m available on weekends for dog walking, house sitting and drop-in visits. Dog walking is included with house sitting. I am available to pet sit in client’s homes and walk dogs. I am an avid hiker, so I would take them for walks and runs if appropriate. I double check to ensure harnesses are adjusted properly and comfortable. I use a dog walking belt to attach leashes to, keeping my hands free to pick up after them. If another dog passes, I distract my dogs by offering treats for sitting, staying and directing attention at me. I love taking them to play in parks or the yard, and give lots of love, head scratches and belly rubs! I take time to train so they will trust me and come to me when called. I use a happy, excited voice to encourage them to walk, and a calm, gentle voice when giving them a treat so they learn to take it gently from my hand. I even learned commands in Spanish to help a dog who understands that language best. In addition, I have earned online certificates in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University and Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.

“Kay kept our cat well taken care of. She took care of us, too! I hadn't booked the number of days we were going to be away. When Kay realized this she let me know! I am very grateful she caught my mistake. Our cat was happy with food, water, and good attention when we returned home.”

“Charles was an exceptional dogsitter! I needed him last minute and he was very flexible as we figured out logistics. My dog warmed to Charles immediately. He was very caring and responsive to my anxious dog. Charles communicated with me throughout the stay and sent me photos. I would not hesitate to use Charles again and would highly recommend him!”

Megan S.

“Natalie did an amazing job caring for my cat. She was right on time for each visit and very communicative. I felt completely reassured that my cat was in good hands and I plan to continue having Natalie watch her in the future.”

“Charlie is the best cat sitter! I feel at ease when I leave because I know Charlie will love and take sweet care of my kitty! Thanks for the photos and texts showing how happy Biddy is when I’m gone. Thank you so much Charlie!”

Diane C.

“Ann is a senior cat whisperer!! She took wonderful care of our two senior cats who have many medication needs and eating trickiness. She sent daily updates with pictures and text to let us know how things were going. We felt lucky to have her help and would definitely ask her to watch them again. Thanks ann!!”

Kristine A.

“Shannon took very good care of our kitties and even brought in the Chewy packages that arrived while we were gone. This was our second time booking with Shannon and we were able to leave for our trip knowing our kitties were in good hands.”

“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!”

Rachel L.

“You could feel their kindness upon meeting them, & our very selective bengal honored them with a head boop right away! Megan allowed us to have peace of mind after a very stressful morning, & honestly we couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you so much!”

Katie Jo C.

“Raphael was fantastic with my cat and elderly dog. He was communicative, respectful, on time, and most importantly, treated my precious fur babies as if they were his own. Highly recommend him! Thank you, Raphael!”

Ivana M.

“Jeff is a great communicator, reliable and treats my boys like his own!”

“Webb is absolutely amazing and was amazing with my two pups! I could tell my dogs were super comfortable and happy the whole time. I got cute photo updates and little check-ins that made me feel totally at ease while I was away. The communication and flexibility was very thoughtful, which I appreciated beyond words. It’s always hard to leave my dogs, but knowing they were in such good hands made it so much easier. Couldn’t recommend Webb more — we’ll definitely be rebooking!”
