“Couldn't have picked a better person to be our puppies pal for our 20 days away. We didn't have to worry at all! The pups were very happy and healthy when we got home. Kyle is clean and and very concientious individual and we already set up for our next jaunt with him. Thanks Kyle.”

About: I live an active lifestyle that involves going on walks and hikes around the beautiful Columbia Gorge. I grew up with dogs around the house and would love to take care of yours! I can provide the following services; walks, med administration, poop patrol, and expert belly rubs. Currently I am a graduate student that works from home so I am avalible on the days that I do not go to classes. With this flexible schedule, it should be easy for me to fit you and your pet during the week. I have indoor cats that I love and care for. Therefore, I will not be able bring any dog or another cat into my home.
About: I have trained puppies to be mobility service dogs from when they were eight weeks old to two years old. I have also lived with dogs for the past 17 years. I am highly proficient in training basic skills (sit, down, stay, heel) and well-versed in positive reinforcement and praise-based training methods. I also have experience with exercising dogs both physically and through mental enrichment. I am currently working a Wednesday to Sunday schedule and am generally available after 5 pm on those days. I have much more daytime availability Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to find appropriate walks for your pets of all ages and abilities in the area. I will make sure to meet your pet's physical and mental needs and communicate clearly and effectively.

“What a pleasure it was to go away knowing my little man was in good hands. Mariela did a great job taking care of our Chihuahua,Bear, which at first is no easy task, but she mastered it.

“Katie is a wonderful sitter, would highly recommend! We arrived home to happy pets and a thoughtfully cared for space. She did a great job making our pets feel comfortable with her. Her communication is friendly and prompt. Would definitely book again!”
“Tara was great! She took time to come meet Virginia and see the house pre sit, which put me at ease as I find discussing everything in person is more impactful than messaging back and forth. Tara left our home in perfect condition and Virginia was well taken care for. We would ask Tara to sit again in the future.”
“Amethyst was very kind and loving with our senior girl, Muki. Upon our return Muki had enjoyed several outings and was clearly fond of Amethyst. Senior dogs can be a challenge with medication, feeding habits and potty schedule! Amethyst was wonderful!! We highly recommend her services.”
“Sydney did a fantastic job caring for our furry boy and our home. She was highly responsible, following care instructions, took impeccable care of our garden and home. In fact, she left our home cleaner than she found it, over the top and unexpected. Her communication was awesome, she often sent texts and pictures and that was a great feeling when you are missing your fur baby.”
About: My love for animals started very young. I lived and took care of large and small dogs, kittens, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, birds, and cats all throughout my childhood. I am an active, energetic person and I love playing with animals and ensuring that they stay healthy throughout their lifetime. I know how to handle all ages of animals from newborns to seniors and am experienced in giving oral medications. I would appreciate the opportunity to care for your animals during your time away! I currently work full time and I am available to watch your pets before or after the work day and on weekends and many holidays! I enjoy building trust with animals so when I am caring for a pet in your home, I will respect their space and routines while giving them all the attention they deserve. I also enjoy being active with animals, whether that is playing with them in the house, taking them on walks, or going to the park. I also enjoy rewarding pets with treats when they have good behavior and teaching them new tricks.
“Jaleh was a great fit for my active doggy. We came home to a clean house and a happy pet. Would definitely recommend for house sitting and taking care of animals. Easy communication and reliable.”
About: My experience petsitting begun when I was very young, taking care of neighbors beloved pets. It helped me in understanding many different types of animals. In my adult years I was able to take those skills to people and pets I did not know as well. Each pet I have encountered has a different set of needs and expectations, to which I have worked on understanding. I am currently working part time for a non-profit so I have time to take care of higher need pets and ensure play time as well as facilitating other house needs. I have my own dog in my home, but because of roommates, I unfortunately cannot offer my home as a service for your pet needs.
