Dog Sitting Gladstone

“Megan is always such a pleasure around our dogs :) Every experience is a great one with her and we are so thankful to have found someone so reliable and kind with our babies”

Katie H.

“Kate was great. We booked a 60 min drop in and she left them all tired out and gave them Kongs on her way out the door. We plan on rebooking with her soon.”

Scott K.

“What great dog sitters! Couldn't have been happier with the care, attention, and love my dog received while we were gone. Went above and beyond the call of duty. We feel very lucky to have found them!”

About: With over two decades of animal care experience, my journey began as a child caring for our family's English Springer Spaniels and cats, where I discovered my natural affinity for animals. This early passion made me the go-to caretaker for classroom pets throughout my school years. As an adult, I've owned several dogs, including a beloved Boxer who shared 10 wonderful years with me, and currently care for two rescue dogs - a Labrador Mix and a Pit Bull Terrier Mix. Through my extensive volunteer work at a local dog shelter since 2021, I manage the daily care and cleaning for up to 25 dogs, many with complex medical needs or behavioral challenges. My professional pet sitting experience spans over three years with private clients, and I've developed expertise in handling medium to large breeds with high energy and prey drive. I'm equally comfortable caring for shy and timid smaller breeds, reactive dogs, and senior pets requiring medication. My feline experience includes managing a Maine Coon cattery of 10-20 cats, and I've cared for cats in all life stages, from newborn kittens to pregnant mothers. Beyond cats and dogs, my animal care expertise extends to reptiles, aquarium maintenance, and farm animals including chickens, goats, and horses. I've also managed large populations of show rabbits, sometimes exceeding 100 animals. I'm comfortable administering medications to all species and have extensive experience managing special needs pets. My clients receive focused, individual attention as I do not combine pet sitting assignments. I currently work full-time Monday - Thursday (7 am-5 pm). I also volunteer on Sundays (7 am-11 am). During the months of May- October I travel weekly of out town for work, but available during weekends. I’m open to weekday availability during the months of November - May, as long as the pet owner is aware of my work and volunteer schedule. As your dedicated pet sitter, I believe in providing comprehensive care that goes beyond the basics. During my visits, your pets will receive personalized attention through engaging playtime, appropriate exercise, and mental enrichment activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. I follow your detailed feeding instructions carefully and maintain clean food and water dishes throughout my stay. Understanding your pet's dietary needs is essential - I'll note their treat allowance and any food or environmental allergies to ensure their safety and well-being. Getting to know your pet's unique personality, quirks, and daily routines is a priority for me. I take time to understand their comfort levels, favorite activities, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is to create a stress-free environment where your pets feel secure and content in your absence. Housekeeping is equally important - I take pride in maintaining a clean environment and will ensure your home is in pristine condition upon your return. As part of my service, I'm happy to handle additional tasks such as watering indoor and outdoor plants, collecting mail, and managing trash bins. Your peace of mind is my top priority, both for your pets and your home.

“Caitlin did a great job with our 3 cats and rabbits. She was very communicative, very good with all of our animals, and super kind as well. Would definitely have her sit again. Thanks so much Caitlin!”

Amanda M.

“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: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.

I currently have three cats of my own who are a big part of our family, and I previously cared for two beloved dogs for many years before I lost them to old age. Through my own pets, I've gained hands on experience with feeding, administering medications when needed, daily walks, playtime, grooming, and recognizing when something isn't quite right.

Whether your pet needs drop in visits, playtime, feeding, walks, or just some extra companionship while you're away, I'd love the opportunity to help and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a full time stay at home parent so my availability is pretty open to check up on your fur babies. I am available anytime after 8am Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pets with the utmost respect.

About: Hello, I'm Taylee, a long-time pet owner with a passion for making new friends and providing quality pet care! Whether it's taking your companion for a walk, tossing a chuck-it, using indoor toys, or just making sure they have familiar company, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved, happy, and safe. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I strive to create a stress-free environment where pets can feel comfortable and enjoy their time while you're away. I'm currently putting all my focus into this - so my schedule is quite flexible! I primarily travel via public transit which can limit short notice availability. When caring for pets in my client's home, I treat it with the same respect I’d show my own. I ensure pets are safe by securing doors, gates, and any areas they shouldn't access. I prioritize keeping their space clean, feeding them on time, and providing regular walks or play sessions based on their usual habits. I also send photo updates and communicate often to reassure pet parents that their furry family members are in good hands. Unfortunately I am unable to provide care in my personal home.

About: I have had experience raising farm animals and caring for children as a nanny and daycare provider. Caregiving is what I am most passionate about. I have a very open schedule currently and I’m willing to start building those connections with your sweet pets as soon as possible. Thank you! My kitties live inside and enjoy heading out on adventures in backpacks and harnesses! I enjoy walking dogs and ensuring that animals are loved and fed.

“Chelsey was very responsive and checked in with us whenever she had questions! She also took such great pictures of our kitties and they seemed to love her 😊”

About: What sets me apart is my background in both veterinary medicine and animal behavior. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary settings with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, including anxious, senior, and high-energy animals. As a Zoology student at Oregon State University, I’m especially passionate about understanding animal behavior and making sure pets feel comfortable, enriched, and safe while in my care. I also have experience handling medications, monitoring health and behavior changes, and providing patient, individualized care for every pet. I am also very active and am always looking for a running partner who would like some good exercise and fun! I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time at the Boys & Girls Club of Corvallis, but I have a lot of weekend availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for dog walks, pet sitting, drop-in check-ins, and general pet care, and I’m happy to work with each family’s schedule and routine! I love staying active and creating a good balance between playtime, exercise, and cuddle time. My current house doesn’t allow animals, but I have reliable transportation and would be happy to take your pet on walks, hikes, or to explore new parks if that’s something they enjoy. I’m active enough to keep up with high-energy dogs or cats, while also being patient and calm with pets who prefer a slower pace and plenty of downtime.

“Deanna did a fantastic job caring for our 3 kittens. Never having left them before we didn’t know quite what they were capable of.. Deanna was creative and good humored, communicated frequently and honestly probably saved our house from complete kitten destruction!”

About: You and your pet can always look forward to scenic walks, adventures in the car, extensive play time, and even longer snuggle time! My lifelong experience with animals aids me in creating the perfect pet sitting experience for you and your pet. I've cared for many unique animals from senior to special needs, and have learned how to cater to their exact needs. I'm thrilled to get to know you and your pet! I am usually available seven days of every week for over night stays. I am located in Southeast Portland and am not currently employed elsewhere, so my pet care schedule is very flexible. I do my best to follow your pet's usual and familiar schedule in order to make them comfortable and meet their needs. I try my absolute best to fully meet and protect your pet’s desires and will not put them in any situation that is potentially dangerous or out of their comfort zone. My relationship with animals comes out of respect and I nurture their trust on my end.

“Jayne took great care of the critters! I really appreciate all the photos documenting all she did and the time she took to let the cat know it wasn't forgotten. Experience with chickens is a definite plus. I recommend Jayne for my neighbors and will happily call her again.”

Donna S.

“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!”

About: Since I’ve been old enough to remember, I’ve been around animals. I have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for years. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they were out of town or busy. I can do a multitude of tasks from bathing to walking! I work 7-3 daily, which leaves me plenty of time each day to play with your pets! I love walking- I even walk my dog two miles every morning! There is always time in my schedule to play with pups! I live in Milwaukie so I can easily access most of the Portland area! While caring for your pet, I will ensure I keep a close eye on them while they are outside. I love going on walks and being outside. So, most likely we will catch me and your fur baby anywhere but under a roof!

About: Raised cats and dogs with my kids. Learned from a friend about how to handle dogs who are reactive on the leash. I enjoy being with your pets in your home so the pets feel comfortable with you being away. I do work a full time job and therefore I am unavailable during the day. I do realize most pets may need a midday check in and that can always be arranged. I am able to work from home as a special request. I am very honest and caring of all pets in your home. I take pictures and write daily story of our adventures. Everyone loves pictures and stories of their pets. I want our experience to be fun for both of us.
