Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Haden Island

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 have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

About: I've been taking care of dogs for the past 9 years. From owning dogs to dog sitting. I am comfortable walking, feeding, grooming, training, playing, and staying overnight with any age of dog. I really enjoy being around puppies and have a good understanding of what senior dogs need. I am comfortable with both high and low energy dogs. Have a skidish or shy dog? I have experience with them too. I am home from college for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I'm very flexable with times and am more than happy to wake up early or stay late! I will communicate with the pet parent to understand the pets needs and figure out plans to prevent or deal with various potential shenanigans the furry friend may come up with.

About: I have deep care for the animals we get to live with and I take this joyous role very seriously. I’ve been a dog mom myself and it would always bring me some anxiety to leave him with a new sitter. I’m here to answer any questions and meet your pup(s) to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies learning the ropes, to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m comfortable with specific care needs such as administering medications, following special feeding routines, and giving extra attention to pets with health concerns. I’m self-employed and split my time between working from home and from my office. My schedule is flexible most days, which means I can usually adjust my day to fit your dog’s needs — whether that’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. I make sure pets aren’t left waiting too long and always work around their normal routines so they stay comfortable and happy. I take care of pets right in their own homes, where everything smells familiar and feels safe. I’ve found that staying in their own space helps them relax so much more while you’re away. I really try to keep things feeling “normal” for them — same routines, same little habits, same comforts. I’ll follow your instructions closely so your pet’s day feels as similar as possible to having you home. I pay attention when we go on walks — checking leashes, making sure doors and gates are secure, and watching for anything that might make your pup uncomfortable. I’m more than happy to slow down if your pet needs a little extra care. Whether that’s meds, quiet time, or lots of cuddles, I meet them where they are and give them plenty of patience and love. I treat your home with care and respect, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax, knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and so well loved while you’re away.

About: Hiya! I’m a newer resident of the Portland area with a longtime background of caring for pets of friends and family hoping to fill a need in you and your pet’s lives. I love going on longer walks/excursions with dogs but also love just spending time in the neighborhood. I’m currently a part time post grad student looking to do some pet care during the day on weekdays, I can do weekends but mostly I’m looking for people wanting and needing pet time during their day to day work schedules when they can’t get home. I’m hoping to be as seamless into your life and schedule as possible. That means being in your house minimally, keeping you updated on times but not too buggy, keeping pets watered, and being in and out.

About: I've grown up with dogs (and chickens, hamsters and cats!!) my whole life and can't imagine my life without my dog Cafe. Pet sitting was my first real job when I was in middle school. I would take care of my family and friends pets, staying at their house and giving their animals all the attention they deserved! I have lots of experience with walking, feeding and loving animals and have full confidence with my ability to keep your fluffy one safe and happy. I’m super responsible and will make sure to send daily updates and photos of your fluffy one! I’m very active and love getting outside and going for walks (10x more fun with a dog by my side). I have a golden retriever back in my hometown that my whole heart belongs to. I make sure she gets two walks a day and all the love possible. I'm a senior nursing student at the University of Portland and wanting to give some love to other dogs and cats! My college schedule is very flexible and I have time in the mornings and afternoon/evenings, during the week and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I will make sure that all backyard gates are always shut before letting your dog outside and make sure to ask questions about your dog's comfortability with other dogs and children so I can be aware when on walks.

About: I have a great passion for animals. I have grown up around cats, dogs, horses, and cows. I am well-trained in taking exceptional care of animals and maintaining cleanliness as we go about our day! I would love to meet your fur babies❤️ Pet care is a daily occurrence for me. I am careful to make sure my own pets are well-fed, well exercised, and getting plenty of love! I'm happy to abide by any rules the owner gives me in their home or in my home. My apartment is too small to care for large dogs as I also have two cats; my only request is that is acommidable!

“Renata has been a great sitter - we've utilized her services a few times now and she's always been communicative and reliable. Highly recommended!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family dogs. I enjoy training and playing — my pup knows 25 commands! Patient, loving care for every dog I look after. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, home visits, and overnight stays throughout the week. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to find the best times for their dogs I provide a safe home for pets with a great park behind my house for walks. My own pup will be a playful companion for your dog!

About: home is sacred space + pets are family! as i understand how difficult it can be to be away from both, i am happy to hold that space for you & your pets! Your canine besties can expect my undivided attention! Your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Having grown up with animals, i am gentle, patient & kind. i adore the way dogs communicate so clearly without any words. i love how they can't hide their affection + are unable to lie. Their only fault is that their lives are too short. People who don't believe in soulmates just haven't met the right dog yet!

“I highly recommend Amani! She is an outstanding pet sitter!”

“Jackie was perfect! Her communication, promptness, and attention to detail couldn't have been better. Our critters were in great hands and we really appreciated the way she took care of them. We'll definitely request Jackie's help again when we're out of town.”

Andrea P.

“Jennifer has been a stalwart drop-in sitter for our dog Guinness for half a year now. She has put up with schedule changes, a sick puppy, and miscommunication on our end with absolutely no guff. Truly the best possible sitter we could have ever wished for. Jennifer is the best. Can't recommend enough.”

Clark H.

About: I just recently moved to Oregon from Las Vegas. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from high energy puppies to mellow seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with pets whether we’re out on walks or hanging out at home. I’m big on clear communication, keeping routines consistent, and making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m new to Oregon and have full availability right now, including weekdays, weekends, and evenings. Happy to be flexible based on your dog or cat’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving meds, or creating a calm space, I do my best to keep things stress free. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and honest check-ins.

“Malissa provided excellent care and attention. We will Definitely use her again!”

About: With my veterinary field experience, I’ve cared for hospitalized animals by supporting their medical needs and giving them the love, patience, and comfort they deserve. I like to keep my Golden Retriever, Canela, on a set schedule. I provide consistent care with scheduled feedings, morning walks, and enrichment activities to keep her healthy, stimulated, and well-cared for. As a dedicated dog sitter, I ensure pet owners provide a detailed list of instructions so I can fully meet their expectations and provide the best care for their dogs while they’re away. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications on time, and maintain any specific routines to keep each dog happy, healthy, and comfortable. I create a welcoming environment where dogs feel safe, loved, and at home—even on the furniture if that’s part of their routine! I love bonding with dogs through walks, trips to the park, playtime, and quiet moments together, like reading while they relax nearby. I also provide brain stimulation through interactive toys, training games, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally engaged. My goal is to ensure every dog feels loved, cared for, and has fun while their owners are away, giving both the pets and their owners peace of mind.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life since I was a baby. I believe pets are a family member they should be loved and respected. I can assure I would take very good care of your furry friend! I like to go beyond expectations to take care of a pet. I’m very active so walks are always fun for me! I’ve volunteer in shelters and I’ve pet sit for family and friends too over the years. Thank you in advance for considering me in this important decision! Let me know if you have any questions for me, I would love to answer. Have a wonderful day! I’m a stay at home mom so I have all the love and time to care for a pet as my own through the day I have a fenced backyard and I like to go on walks and play with them. I am really aware of safety and triggers to keep the pet calm

“Shayla was very communicative, punctual, and caring. We felt very at ease having look after our pets for 3 days. Will definitely be contacting her for future care. Thank you!”
