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 worked at a vet clinic for 3.5 years but due to life changes I now work at a pet store and petsit to continue to work with animals while I work towards my goal of working in vet med again. I’m reliable with my own transportation and am very knowledgeable in proper pet care. I am communicative, compassionate, and attentive to animals and their needs. I have been my own friends’ and family’s pet sitter for the past 5 years and I treat every animal as if they were my own while in my care. My whole life revolves around animals; I have 5 cats of my own and have fostered over 20 animals ranging from cats of all ages, dogs, and guinea pigs. I also work directly with animals at my job and am looking to continue that path. I have multiple rooms in my home to separate the animals in my care if needed, I have access to professional services if an emergency were to arise while also having knowledge of what to look for in with different medical conditions that can be present in animals. I have a good understanding of animal behavior and I understand their needs.

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.

About: Hi! I’m Nicole — a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog mom to my sweet 10 year-old Australian Shepherd, Gunnar. We provide a calm, loving, home-based alternative to crowded boarding kennels, with lots of attention, outdoor time, and personalized care for your furry family member. We live near beautiful hiking trails, parks, and open space, so your pup will get plenty of walks, playtime, fresh air, and affection. Gunnar is incredibly friendly, gentle, and gets along wonderfully with other animals. Because of his easygoing nature, I do ask that dogs staying with us are non-aggressive and well-socialized. I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, dietary needs, and individual personalities — I understand every dog is different and deserves thoughtful care. Whether you need help during a busy work week, a last-minute business trip, or an upcoming vacation, I’d love to help make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and strive to create a warm, relaxed environment where they can feel right at home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! I’m home all day. I have a big vehicle and am dedicated to getting outside! We will have lots of fun around here! Not to worry! I have a fenced grassy yard and right by a big park. I like to do at least 3 walks per day and am fine with doggies sleeping with me if they want or need!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and dogs & got my first taste of hands-on pet care when I got my sweet pup for my 8th birthday. Fast forward, I now have the privilege of loving that same dog’s two puppies (who are now 10 years old). I work from home and walk my girls every 2-3 hours. I can exercise high energy dogs or make walks shorter and easier for senior pups. I’m very affectionate and love cuddly pups and kitties. I’m happy to tailor care to your animal’s needs & love them like my own! I’m also comfortable administering medications. I work from home full time so pet care is easy and flexible for me. I walk my girls every 2-3 hours and will be happy to do the same for your pup. Whenever I do leave, I try not to be gone for more than 4 hours to ensure no one is left alone for too long. I live in a two bedroom townhouse with a small front yard for quick potty breaks. The neighborhood is great for walks and is very safe. My two dogs are 10 year old chihuahuas and are very relaxed, friendly, and lazy (they love to sleep all day). While caring for your baby, I can provide separation if needed or preferred, or if it’s comfortable for you, everyone can happily co-exist. I also have a small crate available if needed at any time. I work from home and am home with my pets all day. I also have a living room camera to check on the babies whenever we are out of the house. I can use the two-way audio & microphone to talk to them with this. :)

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.

Over the years, I’ve also trained and guided many dogs into maturity, helping them develop good habits, confidence, and a sense of calm within their routine.

Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I bring a reliable, attentive presence to every I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter.

I’m currently based in Molalla and can serve nearby areas as well. I do my best to keep my schedule updated and respond promptly to requests so we can find times that work well for both you and your pet. As I transition to the Milwaukie area, I’ll also be expanding my availability to include overnight pet sitting. I approach every home and animal with care, respect, and attention to detail. I provide a calm, steady, and safe environment with a loving presence, always prioritizing your pet’s well-being and comfort. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to each animal’s behavior, energy, and needs.

I bring an attentive presence to every animal I encounter and treat your home with the same level of care and respect as I would my own. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in reliable, grounded hands.
