About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
“My dog is a little timid with new people, but Renata takes such good care of him! She’s patient and kind and I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with him. She’s reliable and great with communication. Highly recommend her, especially for nervous/shy puppers. 🩵”

About: From having family dogs since I was a kid, to being hired as a reccurring sitter and walker for years for many clients/friends, and now owning 2 dogs of my own, I’m constantly with a furry companion and I wouldn’t want to live any other way. I love being outside, especially with my pups, so if your dog needs to get out and roam on some adventures I’m always up for a walk or some fetch, rain (especially rain), or shine. I’m also a big fan of lap dogs no matter what shape or size so if your pooch is a bit of a home body, and just needs some belly rubs or someone to sit with and talk their ear off, I’m your guy. I work part time during the week, most often Tuesday-Thursday starting at 9 am. I can flex my schedule to meet your schedule if you need an early morning walk or pop in as well as afternoons and evenings Having 2 dogs ourselves, my wife and I are very aware of things like doors being left open, or food being reached. We are hyper vigilant when it comes to our dogs safety as well as others. We always leash our dogs!
About: I have always been a pet sitter, even from a young age. I am trustworthy, communicative and will treat your pet like my own. I know how scary it is to leave your pet alone with a new person and I'd love to be the person that treats your fur baby exactly how you prefer. I am a Cincinnati transplant who just moved to Portland. I am currently working part time, and I would love to spend my free time hanging out with your animals. My schedule is very flexible and I'm more than happy to work with you to help meet your needs! My pets have always meant the world to me. I enjoy nothing more than spending as much time with my cat as possible, your animal is no different. I have 15+ years of experience caring for folk's animals while they're away or at work. I will do my very best to keep you updated with pictures and videos of your pet, as well as communicate any questions/comments and concerns right away.
About: I have lots of experience with cats and dogs and have2 cats of my own. I’m very flexible with my schedule and reliable. I love animals. I’m very patient loving and caring. I can walk, feed, play and give lots of love and affection. I’ve had dogs growing up and have had experience with pet sitting and walking. I’ve always had cats. I get a long very well with animals. I just need to know ahead of time of their needs. I have had asthma so I use an inhaler and can’t run but I can still walk them and make sure they get exercise. I don’t drive or have a car but I can take the bus or take an Uber or Lyft. I am disabled but still have lots of capability and time to spend time with dog or cats. I’m very flexible and reliable I make sure there’s lots of play time and opportunities to go outside to go on a walk or go to the bathroom. I can’t run due to asthma but I can still play and get exercise in. I give lots of love and attention just like they were my own I am disabled so I have a lot of spare time. I am a student but that’s part time so I still have plenty of time to spend with the pets I have an apartment with a small yard. I feed, bathe, walk, and play with pets staying in my home. They’re aloud on furniture or wherever they’re comfortable. In others’ home, I would care for the pets just as I would in my home unless instructed to do otherwise. Feed, play, cuddle, walk.
About: I have owned and been around dogs since a young age. I’ I have experience with different behaviors and mannerisms of dogs from all walks of life. Currently on summer break so I have open availability on the days I have outside of other part time work. Days provided on my profile. I live in a cozy apartment and provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, loved, and cared for with gentle handling and consistent, trustworthy attention.
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).
About: I've spent years hanging out with all kinds of dogs and have had a few of my own for years, so I know what makes them tick. Whether it's a bunch of playful puppies or a sweet old dog, I've taken care of them all. I have experience with newborn litters and taken care of my own elderly dogs. Because of this, I can give your dog the perfect care they need to feel happy and loved, no matter how young or old they are! I currently work a full time job but I get fridays-Sunday off. During the weekends I’m free to take your pup on walks or even house sit while you’re gone enjoying some me time. Weekdays I usually have short days and can be flexible with my hours. I have a fenced back yard, and a lovely park not even 10 min away. They can spend time with me inside and outside my home.
About: I’m a professionally trained animal caregiver offering reliable, high quality care for pets of all kinds. I hold a Veterinary Assistants Certificate, as well as multiple years of experience in dog and cat behavior, first aid, emergency response, and administering medications. Including care for pets with long term medical conditions. In my free time, I volunteer with WCGHS in their shelter and in the community. I’ve also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and the Salt Lake City Humane Society, working with animals of all temperaments, including reactive and behaviorally sensitive dogs. I have two rescue dogs and one cat of my own, including one pup with epilepsy. I bring a calm, confident energy that helps pets feel safe and supported. You and your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priority. My availability varies, but am able to provide potty breaks at least every 2hrs. I am flexible and willing to adapt to your schedule :D I’ve never met an animal I didn’t get along with! I am willing to watch/walk multiple pets at a time and can adapt to any preferred schedules or practices you have for your pets. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while in my care.

About: Had dogs my whole life. Mines a coward and we'd need to check that he gets along with yours first, he'll get bullied if I'm not careful, the poor thing I stay home all day and spend as much of my time as possible outside. Your dog may come back muddy though, the messier you get the more fun you had and all! I am home all day with eyes/ears on the pets nearly constantly. I also spend so much time in environments that encourage explorative play and will keep most dogs too busy to get bored and act out in the first place. If a pet did act out, there's more than enough space in my place to separate animals and allow them to decompress. If at your place, mine is kennel trained for the same idea.
About: I don't like seeing pets alone when their owners are away, so I love keeping them company! I make them feel comfortable in my home. As an animal lover and a deaf person, I appreciate having pets around for companionship. My schedule is available in anytime. Just let me know if you want me watch your pets as longer I don’t mind. I love to help. I always respect your home’s rule with your pets. As long you let me know with your concerns. I love to check your pets to make sure they’re ok.
About: I'm passionate about caring for animals and ensuring your home is guest-ready upon your return. My specialty is multi pet house holds. My goal is to spoil your animal friend following your specific instructions, whether that means lots of playtime and attention or a calm and quiet stay. Having my own amazing pets for many wonderful years, I understand the importance of love and respect in animal care. I can follow instructions and strive provide the same level of care you do. Whether you have a young or old companion, I'm committed to their comfort and happiness. I have extensive experience as a pet and house sitter for many years. I'm known for my detailed-oriented approach and ability to work with animals of all temperaments. I'm always happy to accommodate any special needs or routines. I will feed your sour dough starter. Additionally, I'm flexible with long-term rates and can help with pet supply shopping or consulting. I’m available for round the clock care or daily walks, and hour is best for an active dog but if we have an hour forest hike we don’t count the driving time. I have a fenced yard and wood floors, and a big cushy rug next to the heater. My area is great for taking long walks. My Partner sometime comes to share a meal or is available in case of emergency this is his profile below https://r.rover.com/j8v7qW
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlynn – your pet’s new best friend! I’ve grown up with animals and currently care for two of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs extra playtime, a shy rescue that needs patience, or a senior pet with special care needs — I meet them where they’re at, with love and consistency. I just moved to Oregon from Nevada and am currently settling in and building a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time and availability to focus on pet care. I’m not tied to a full-time job right now, so your pets will get lots of attention, walks, cuddles, and updates throughout the day. Whether you need someone reliable for daily drop-ins, long walks, or overnight care, I’m here and fully present for your pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone — and I don’t take that lightly. Your pets — and your home — treated with care and respect. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I understand I’m being trusted with something deeply personal. I approach every visit with respect, cleanliness, and attention to detail. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors locked, double-check gates, and make sure your pets stick to their routine so they feel safe and secure.

I also love teaching and training. There’s no better feeling for myself than when I can connect with an animal and build a bond. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of available time to get outside and play with your furry friends. I take my own cats on walks several times a day we eat three limited ingredient meals a day and take regular baths and grooming sessions.

I have a very clean home and a crate incase it’s needed I can also separate my cats away if needed pretty much can work around anything I’ve even got an elevator.

Brian is very patient and helpful with my two dogs, Snowy and Dutsch. Both dogs can be a little difficult on a walk, as they are working breeds without much training. Brian offered some tips and suggestions about using a gentle leader to avaoid pulling. He arrived on time and walked them for the full hour as promised.
