About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and am comfortable working with many different temperaments! I’ve even handled a few cat births. I work hard on reading body language and meeting cats where they’re are at in their comfort zone. I’ve worked with dogs less but have taken care of a handful of dogs in the past with varying needs. I am always ready to make a new pet friend! I’m currently working full time! But I do work from home most days of the week so I can be by during my lunch or after work depending on your needs and distance to my work. I do have a car so I can drive further distances after work as well. For cats I will be sure to stay indoors and be careful when opening or closing doors to ensure no cat escapes take place! I would like to say I have a talent for tiring out cats with playing and if you have a catio I will be happy to play with the cat out there, ensuring they are always supervised in this area and are happily inside afterwards before I leave. If I have permission with you I love to do a little photo shoot with your pet as well during my visit that I can send to you!

“Just so wonderful. I already left a review but I wanted to leave another one so I could give more information. I came home about 15 minutes before when I had planned for Leah to show up because I forgot some thing and I saw that my little dogs dewclaw must have gotten stuck on something because it was bleeding. Sure enough Leah came right through the door as expected, all smiles. She made me feel so much calmer about the injury and even had materials in her bag that I needed to wrap my pup’s claw. She is truly a gift to dogs and people everywhere.”

“Scott is an incredible cat-sitter for my cat Stanley. He treats him as his own pet and always impresses me with his in-depth cat knowledge. On top of that Scott goes above and beyond to take care of my home while I’m away. I truly trust him to do a fantastic job making sure Stanley is loved while I’m out of town. Would wholeheartedly recommend Scott”

“Paola took excellent care of Lady B and was very friendly. She took lots of sweet photos of them hanging out and always let me know when she was on the way. Would definitely ask her to drop in or sit for my cat, again!”

“Evita was a fantastic sitter to my two cats and two chinchillas! My usually shy, tortitude cat opened up to her at lightning speed starting at the meet and greet and thereafter. She was able to bring out the best of my cats while they were feeling uncomfortable and scared from the temporary change. I could tell that the cats missed Evita when we came home, because they both kept searching and meowing around the front door to see if she'd come back! Also, our chinchillas usually get mad and ignore my husband and I when we leave for vacation for a few days, but Evita gave them so much attention and care that they were acting normal and greeted us with squeaks and sniffs! Evita took many pictures, left descriptive messages about what happened and how they were each day, and paid close attention to their behaviors/personalities to keep them happy. She even went above and beyond to keep the chinchilla area tidy from their hay and flying poops outside their cage. Aside from how great she did, Evita is a warm/friendly yet professional sitter and meeting her was absolutely delightful! She was punctual, attentive, a great listener, and thorough. You can tell she knows what she's doing from the start and genuinely loves animals. Your pets are in the best hands if you book with her, and I would recommend her to anyone! Overall, I couldn't be happier with the visits! Thank you so much again!”

Iona M.

“Great communication! My kitties are usually afraid of people even people that are regularly in the house! But they are so at ease with Lucinda! Always happy and healthy when I get home! Thank you so much!”

Jacquie M.

“Bonnie was an incredible last minute resource for a Christmas party staycation. She responded quickly, read over the house instructions thoroughly, and showed up in a timely manner. Great communication- we’ll definitely hire her again.”

Kiki M.

“Lyle was a gem over the holidays— he was available to care for our cat while we were gone for Christmas. He was responsive, accepted our booking quickly, and took great care of our kitty and our home. I would highly recommend his care!”

Courtney R.

“Olivia was amazing at accommodating my last minute changes to my schedule requests. Winston really enjoyed having them home with him while I was away and I will be booking again!”

Taseti A.

“Jess was so sweet and caring with our cats, playing with them and keeping them safe and happy (even during Fourth of July fireworks!). We had never used Rover before, but Jess put us at ease and sent pictures of our cats every day. Seeing the Rover card was the best part of our days, which is a testament to Jess! They were also a flexible, good communicator, which really helped us out. We highly recommend!”

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. Our family dog passed a year ago and caring for my son’s dog has made me realize how much I love having dogs around. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with ample room for play. Your furry friend will love the fresh air. The yard is a partially shaded space with grass.

“We are new to the Portland area and were very stressed about finding a cat sitter to watch our cat while we were back on the east coast for two weeks. I'm so thankful I found Nancy! We felt she cared for our little cat just as we would, playing with him and even bringing him over some treats. Additionally, our cat is usually hesitant around other people but felt totally at ease with Nancy from the first initial visit which really put our minds at ease. Nancy is a great sitter and we're so happy to have found her!”

Jess F.

About: I have taken care of all ages and sizes of dog, from lab puppies to senior chihuahuas. I have lived with dogs my whole life, and have been pet sitting since high school. I am skilled with spicy dogs and administering medicine since my last dog was a chihuahua with PTSD. I currently work part time in the middle of the day, so I have plenty of time to play and care for pets. I also have a car so I can transport myself to and from each clients residence. I love to keep the pets company when owners are gone for a period of time, taking them on walks, playing, and of course feeding them.

“Excellent response time, service, and care. Ann bonded with my pet in no time and took great care of Cosette and my home! Top tier professional~”

About: I am dependable and friendly. I get a lot of joy out of caring for others. I typically care for little humans but I love taking care of little furry family members as well. I work 5 shifts in a row (Sat-Wed) every 2 week and I am off the 9 days in between. I am available all day for walks and check ins. I am respectful and gentle. Safety is a top priority and fun is a close second. I would love to provide comfort and ease to your day by caring for your pet while you are away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life — my dad even has a photo album titled “Emily and Cats” from my childhood, documenting how I made friends with every cat I met on family outings. I grew up with cats, a German Shepherd, and an English Cocker Spaniel, and I’ve never lost that special connection with animals, especially cats. I currently have three rescued cats who are very bonded. I make them species-appropriate food at home with a meat grinder, and I’ve even taught the twin tabbies to sit and shake! My shy kitty Elio needs more confidence, so I spend extra time with him through play and positive reinforcement. My previous cat was diagnosed with cancer at just 2 years old, which inspired me to dive deep into learning about diet, nutrition, natural medicine, and preventative care. Thanks to this, he became a cancer survivor for 16 more years. In his senior years, I managed multiple vet visits, medications, supplements, a special diet, dementia, and chronic kidney disease — all with love and dedication. I also regularly walk and pet-sit my neighbors’ dogs to get my canine fix, and I’ve helped rescue numerous cats and dogs off the street, connecting them with shelters or forever homes. I love researching animal behavior and communication so I can better understand what pets need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I’d be honored to give your furry family members the same care and attention I give my own. I’m transitioning out of my old career, I am available afternoons and evenings. I’m pretty much always available on holidays and sometimes overnights. For out of town clients, I can make multiple visits on the same day. My home has been designed for the cats to be happy. Cat trees, window perches, empty shelves to jump on, lots of different types of toys. It’s really their house. I always make sure not to leave anything out that might be dangerous to them- no hair ties, no string, toxic plants, etc. And anytime a box is delivered there is a rule that the empty box will stay out for them to inspect for at least 24 hours.
