Pet Sitting Highlands

“Maia was so helpful with a last minute request and we really appreciated her help. She played with Finn and Bolt gave them a potty break and some treats. We’d definitely use her again! THANK YOU Maia!”

“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.”

“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.”

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.

About: I know trusting someone with your pet can be a big decision. My goal is simple: to provide reliable care that makes your pet feel safe and comfortable, so that you can have peace of mind. No two animals are exactly alike, which is one of my favorite parts of this work. Every dog and cat has their own personality, routines, little quirks, and favorite ways to spend the day. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual and providing care that’s tailored to them. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of caring for so many wonderful pets, which has sparked my own interest in canine behavior, enrichment, and positive reinforcement. I'm always learning because I believe the more I understand animals, the better I can care for them. Every pet teaches me something new, and I love that this work allows me to keep growing. When you book with me, you can expect thoughtful care, dependable communication, and respect for both your home and your pet's routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Thank you for considering me. I'd love the opportunity to meet you, hear about your pet, and learn what makes them happiest. I also work as a writer, which gives me a flexible schedule that varies depending on the pets I'm caring for. During house sits, I may step out for dog walks, drop-in visits, errands, or appointments, but I plan my day thoughtfully around the needs of every pet in my care. If your pet has specific scheduling requirements, I'm happy to discuss them before booking so we can make sure we're a great fit. Humans make mistakes, which is why I always double-check. Whether it's making sure the right food goes to the right pet, securely fastening a leash, or confirming that the front door is locked before I leave, I take a moment to double-check the little things. I carefully follow the instructions you provide, communicate if anything unexpected comes up, and treat both your home and your pet with the same respect I'd want someone to show my own. My goal is to create a calm, predictable environment where your pet can feel comfortable until you return.

“Susan was absolutely fantastic with our 3 cats and our home! She gave the cats tons of playtime and attention and sent lots of updates along the way, giving us such peace of mind during our time away.”

“Mary Anne took fabulous care of our sweet cat, Holly! She provided us with detailed updates and delightful photos each day. Mary Anne also provided some extra services, including watering three newly planted shrubs through a heat wave. She also kept us updated on the one day that she came a little later than usual so that we wouldn't worry if we didn't get a report at the usual time. Finally, she kept in touch with us as we made the long journey home to ensure that Holly would be cared for until we got home, and left a light on for us since we were going to be arriving late at night! I will definitely request Mary Anne again the next time that we need a sitter.”

About: I grew up in the country with dogs, cats, horses, and sheep, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve boarded dogs as young as four months, dogs with medical needs and strict dietary routines, and dogs that were anxious being away from home for the first time. When you drop your dog off with me, I want you to actually focus on wherever you’re going. I send photos and videos, not constantly, but enough that you’ll already know how they’re doing before the worry even shows up. My daughters and I do this together. I use it as a chance to teach them how to actually pay attention to a dog. Reading their body language, knowing when they want space, following their routines and schedules. My day starts at 5am. The dogs wake up with me and we sit on the couch together while I get into work. Breakfast for the dogs, then breakfast for my kids, then school drop-off at 7. I’m back by 7:30 and work from my detached office with dog beds and a door that opens to the backyard so they can come and go. Mid-morning we take a walk. Afternoons the girls get home at 3:30 and we take the dogs out again. Dinner for everyone, a show or movie with the pups, then bedtime. Our yard is large and fully fenced. Inside, we have gates on bedroom doors and between the living room and kitchen, and a utility room that lets me rotate dogs in and out to the backyard without them ever having to pass each other. Dogs are never left together unsupervised, and never left alone with my kids. Depending on the dog, they’ll sleep on one of my daughters’ beds or next to mine.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I’m very dependable and trustworthy, and I treat every animal with the same love and care I would give my own. I also make sure pets stay on their normal routines and always keep owners updated so they know their pet is happy and safe. This and Uber Eats are my full time jobs. I will only be gone for a couple hours in the evening for Uber Eats some days and Sunday early afternoons I have church but other than that I’m available. I am very attentive to pet’s needs and listen closely to the owner’s instructions. No matter how big or small your animal is, dog or cat, I have unlimited patience and care.

“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!”

“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.”

“Allison was a fantastic sitter for our pets. I needed someone fairly last minute, at Christmas, and Allison accepted the job. She was communicative and accommodating from the very beginning. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is sweet, thoughtful and responsible. Please don’t hesitate to request Allison as your next pet sitter. You will absolutely not be disappointed.”

About: I have boarded both cat and dogs. I am available for daycare and drop in visits. I speak cat and I communicate very well with dogs too. I work full time M- F but I have no commitments evenings and weekends. I can walk, give care and play every morning and evening and full days on Saturdays and Sunday. I currently do not have a pet but would give all my love to your furry roommate. They will have my complete attention and tender loving care.

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.

“Camille and her daughter did great with my two cats, one of whom is a kitten. They’re both sweet cats, but Duvalin can be shy and they were still able to coax her out of her shell for some playtime. We did not even do a meet & greet in person beforehand, but Camille followed my written instructions perfectly.”

About: With 10 years of pet sitting experience and a beloved 4 year old corgi of my own, I provide loving, reliable care for your dogs. Your pets will be treated like family! I am a teacher with this summer off. My schedule is more relaxed during the summer to help with your summer adventures. I understand the needs of reactive and high energy dogs. I am also comfortable giving oral medication throughout the day. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or health concerns! My daily schedule is flexible, allowing me to prioritize pet care. I'll ensure your pets feel important and are well taken care of, providing them with the attention and love they need throughout the day. In your home I will maintain house rules to keep training consistent with your pet. I have completed puppy training classes through The Training Spot in Eugene Oregon and love learning new tricks with dogs who are interested.
