“Lea did a great job watching Barkley. She's quick to respond, and will send updates with pictures to let you know how your dog is settling in.”


About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family for the last 15 years. Whether it's energetic puppies or mellow seniors, I know how to tune in to each dog’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you're away. We live on over 6 acres of land with a full acre securely fenced in, so your dog will have plenty of room to run, sniff, and explore safely. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get more than just walks and meals—they’ll get affection, playtime, and a calm, dependable environment. I treat every pet like family and I’m happy to follow your specific routines, preferences, and training methods to keep things consistent for your pup. Whether it’s daily updates, photo check-ins, or managing special needs, I’ve got you covered. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to care for pets seven days a week. Your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and I’m always nearby for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I have a three year old Chessie who loves new friends. I adjust each stay to fit your dog’s personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines, including medications or crate training.

“Rebecca responded quickly to all of our questions and was patient. We had never put our dog Izzie in a kennel before. The photos of their facilities gave a good sense of what the dogs were provided with inside and outside, and photos of Izzie Rebecca sent to us on the days Rebecca was caring for Izzie were fun and reassuring. Lastly, their roaming farm animals were a delight. We will kennel our dog with Rebecca whenever we are in this part of the Columbia Gorge.”


“Loki had a nice relaxed time hanging out with Laura for the day while we were out and about seeing some sights around Hood River. Got a couple of fun pics of Loki throughout her stay, and Laura helped her feel like part of the family while there. Thanks, Laura, for taking such good care of my little old lady!”


About: I am a passionate animal enthusiast, especially when it comes to dogs! With over a decade of experience as a dedicated dog owner, I've had the joy of sharing my life with two majestic malamutes and an incredible mutt. I take immense pride in ensuring my furry companions are not only happy and healthy but also well-behaved. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I actively volunteer as a foster with a local rescue organization, contributing to the welfare of dogs in need. I find such joy in training them and helping them find their new perfect home. My love for dogs has naturally made me the go-to person for dog sitting and organizing puppy adventures. I firmly believe in the mantra: a tired dog is a happy dog! I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all ages and needs, including seniors, puppies, and those with special requirements. Even the most rambunctious yet lovable pups are right at home with me. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving hands and having an amazing time while you're away! I currently work a schedule that provides a lot of time at home, so breaking up the day with walks/hikes/adventures is welcomed! I look forward to making your dog part of my daily routine! I have a fully fenced dog friendly yard. Pets will be supervised while at my house and in my care. Regular outings are provided and I will adapt to the bathroom/feeding schedule on a pet to pet basis. I love training and practice positive reinforcement! I am happy to care for pets in clients homes as well and am willing to discuss what your normal routine looks like.

“They were fantastic. Not from the area so it was nice to find someone for one day. We plan to be back to the area and will definitely make Adam and Bernardo are available! So sweet with our Maggie”


“Charlie was great! I felt calm, and comfortable leaving my Millie , for the first time ever, in his care. He sent the best video of her having a blast running and playing. Highly recommend Charlie!!!! Can’t thank him enough!”



“Great communication, personable, and great with our Dave pup. She had a playmate that fit his energy well and was able to exercise him on a very rainy day in her basement. He came back happy and tired! She also did drop off and pick up, right to the hotel, which was really helpful for us.”


“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”


“Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!”



“Prudence and her dog did such a great job with our German Short-haired Pointer! She is clearly a gifted and experienced dog sitter and kept up with our pup's energy but also got her to relax on our dog's first doggy day care visit. 10/10 recommend Prudence!”

Grace F.
“Grace is a wonderful dog sitter! She’s watched my pup so many times and each time my pup is happy and perfectly exhausted. Her pup, Bronco, is a sweet boy with tons of energy to get my dog running around and playing for hours. Their home is perfect for dogs to run around, too! Grace is super responsible and we’ve never had an emergency call. I would highly recommend Grace to watch your pup!”

Sarah M.
“Sarah is a DREAM with pets! I think of my dog as my child and Sarah treats her as such (in a sane way). I have a mature Maltipoo who gets tired/bored after a short distance. Sarah rigged up a backpack carrier so that Trudy could still adventure with the bigger, younger dogs. She's also great with giving them love, cuddles, and incredibly responsible. 10/10 would recommend!”
