“Alex was so helpful taking care of our kitties checking in on them while we were away. They sent pictures and updates and our interactions with them were so positive!”

“This is the first time Jessica has come to my house and was a last minute request on my part. She came as requested and kept me informed. My normally shy, hide in my bedroom, cat Pippen really hit it off with Jessica on the first day and enjoyed lap sitting and playing with her. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and learned early on the importance of giving them love, structure, and consistent care. From daily walks in all kinds of weather to making sure bowls are full, paws are clean, and leashes are secure. I’m attentive and proactive—always watching for other animals on walks, checking gates and doors at home, and ensuring every furry friend feels comfortable and cared for. What sets me apart is my mix of reliability and playfulness: I provide the dependable care you can trust while keeping tails wagging with fun, engaging activity. Caring for pets isn’t just a responsibility to me—it’s a privilege and a joy. I currently work full-time, but after 6 p.m. I’m available for evening walks and/or drop-in visits. Weekends are when I have the most flexibility, making me available for longer walks, extended care, or even overnight stays if needed. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care during the times many families are busiest or away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always ensure I have a clear care plan to follow using instructions and information I’ve gathered from the client. This is important as I want to ensure that the care I provide is consistent to what the dog or cat is used to. I’m attentive to safety—making sure leashes and harnesses are secure on walks, keeping an eye out for other animals, and double-checking that gates and doors are properly closed. I also maintain food and water bowls as needed and give plenty of love and playtime. Whether it’s a game of fetch, hide-and-seek, or just extra cuddles, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their family is away.

“Mary Anne is a super sittter! Very professional, responsive, and friendly. Mary Anne provided drop-in visits for my cat while I was away on vacation and I couldn’t be happier. I will be rebooking her services.”

“Susan is an absolute lifesaver! When we had a family emergency, she dogsat for our two dogs last minute. She went above and beyond, taking them to the dog park for some fun and giving them plenty of cuddles. We came home to two very happy pups. She sent a video and super cute pics. We can't thank her enough for her incredible care and for the peace of mind she gave us during a difficult time. This is her third time sitting our pups, and we look forward to booking her again!”

“Bryanna took great care of my two cats. She spent time with them and they clearly trusted her. She shared lots of photos which I loved to see.”

“Julie always treats our pets and home with the care she would her own. Her drop ins with our puppy make long work days much less stressful. :)”

“Thanks again for treating our furry gal so good! She always has a blast playing with you and we appreciate the walks you take with her so much!”

About: I’ve always been the person who stops to pet every dog or cat I see around the neighborhood, so getting to spend more time with animals is pretty much my idea of a good day. 🐾 I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including working as a Kennel Attendant at VCA Rock Creek Hospital, walking dogs for a local dog-walking company, and caring for my own senior dog from the Humane Society, Mr Benny. After Benny passed away about a year ago, I still had so much love to give to animals! So I started volunteering with Animal Aid, where I help care for dogs and cats in need of homes. I’d love to give you an extra hand with your furry friend next. I’ve worked with dogs of all different ages, energy levels, and breeds, and I’m comfortable administering medication when needed. But honestly, one of my favorite parts of pet care is getting to know each animal’s personality—and getting to know their person, too. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs some company, or your pet just needs someone to give them a little extra love while you’re away, I’d be excited to help! I currently work a typical full-time schedule, so my availability is primarily on weekends in the afternoons and evenings. I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to find a schedule that works well for both you and your pet. I only offer house visits, so I won’t be watching pets in my own home. I think pets are usually happiest staying in their own space, and I’m happy to come to them! I’ll follow your care instructions, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and send updates or photos if you’d like. I’m currently available for house visits during the times and within the radius listed on my profile.

“Ganna, did a great job! Always showed up on time and took very good care of my dog! Also work great with Rusty. Will use her services again and highly recommend.”

About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dogs and love going on walks with them! I have experience with nervous dogs and higher energy dogs, I've dog-sat rescues, 1-year-olds with their bouncing off the walls, and seniors. I help my mom with in-home child care during the week from Monday to Thursday but I have free time outside of that. I usually can start the day by 7am but will start moving earlier if the dog needs it! I have a smaller fenced backyard with some dog neighbors. We have some guinea pigs in our home but they're upstairs in an elevated cage with a gate at the bottom of the stairs. The neighborhood has a variety of routes I can go on of different lengths to fit your dog's needs.

“Wendi has been great doing drop in visits with our puppy. She has good communication and sends great pictures. We will definitely use Wendi again 😊”

“Justina is fantastic! She has been super responsive and communicative. I feel reassured we found someone who really cares to come look after our pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her!”

Michelle H.

“Alexis has been super on top of it with her communication! She is reliable and sent me great updates about her time with our puppy. I am careful about who I trust with our puppy and I would hire Alexis any time.”

Emily T.

“Camille was wonderful! She was communicative, on time, & attentive to my puppy. I loved the updates & photos. Camille made me feel at ease that my puppy was taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend Camille :)”

About: I worked at a vet clinic for about two years, helping with restraint for exams and diagnostics. I took care of the boarding pets and administered medications. Additionally, I did about a year of clinical rotations working with animals. All this, not including my own pet experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, and a ferret. I am starting a new business and I will be working from home. I will have plenty of time to take care of furrr babies I have a large courtyard where our dogs can run around. My dog loves to play with other dogs. I also have room for crates if desired

“Another great booking with Jurick! Sunday absolutely loves him. He’s in a great mood when we get home now and we love the twice daily updates and pictures. We feel very confident knowing Sunday is in great hands when we’re away.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. Finding someone you trust to care for your pets is incredibly important, and I strive to provide the same attentive, dependable care that I want for my own dogs. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, rabbits, fish, and have spent time around horses and other barn animals. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication administration, plenty of cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I also know how much reassurance matters when you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and treated like family. As a dog owner myself, I have firsthand experience caring for pets with anxiety, behavioral challenges, and ongoing medical needs. I have a background in positive reinforcement training and believe in using patience, consistency, and rewards to encourage good behavior. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, medication schedules, and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. Whether your pet needs extra reassurance, a structured routine, or specialized care, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate support. My schedule is fully open and am dedicated to pet care in the Beaverton/Portland/Tigard/Hillsboro area. Due to having my own dogs, I am unable to Provide overnight care in your home but can offer boarding services for friendly dogs. In My Home: Your dog will be treated like part of the family during their stay. I have a small fenced yard for potty breaks and outdoor time, and Hazeldale Park is just a short walk away for additional exercise and enrichment. Dogs are welcome on furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I’ll follow your pet’s usual routines, rules, and training expectations to help them feel comfortable. In Your Home & On Walks: Walks are tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and individual needs. Whether we’re exploring your neighborhood, staying at home, or enjoying a relaxed sniffari, I’ll provide safe exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of positive attention. I have a large dog stroller and use positive reinforcement techniques on walks. We will go over anlso review any training cues, commands, or routines you have established to help maintain consistency and good habits.

“Julieth saved the day! We had a medical emergency and since Julieth has taken such great care of our buns in the past, we were able to leave with a peace of mind 😊 She did an amazing job and kept us up to date while we were away. Thank you so much Julieth!!”
