“Lexy was so great with Cricket! She really understands cats and took the time in the initial visit to build trust with our kitty. It really set my mind at ease knowing that Cricket was in good hands while I was away.”

“Autumn is great, and highly recommended (but please don't keep her so busy we can't book her again!) She paid close attention to every detail when she came to get instructions from us, kept every agreement fully, and went out of her way to establish report with our VERY skittish kitty. :)”
“Andrea took great care of my cats while I was away over night. She was very professional and clearly cares about animals and making sure that their people feel comfortable and reassured. She kept me updated, and I wasn’t worried for a moment while I was gone.”

About: I've cared for both cats and dogs since 2017, including walking dogs, feeding puppies and kittens, and looking after adult pets. I've helped dog sit with my aunts and have hands-on experience caring for my own two cats and three dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, gentle approach, and genuine love for animals of all ages. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, and giving extra care to pets that need it, whether they're energetic puppies or calm seniors. I work nights from 3:30 to 7:00 or 7:30 five days a week, with varying days off. I'm available for morning and afternoon visits before work, as well as late evenings and overnight care. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care that fits around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make their comfort and safety my top priority. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely to help your pet feel secure and cared for. I keep a calm, clean, and respectful environment, making sure they get plenty of attention, play, and love while you're away. I treat every pet like family and every home with care.
About: I have a long history of watching and playing with lots of different pets. I have dog sat for multiple nights in a row for some of the biggest and smallest dog breeds. I live with 3 cats who differ in size and personalities and have lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience dealing with younger, more playful dogs and dogs who are on the older side. I am familiar dealing with medicines and special diets. I am a very clean person who loves animals, and animals love me! Let me take care of your lovable creatures 🙂🐈🐕 I am not in school currently, as I am in between going from community college to university but I do work. I typically work very early in the morning and my shifts are usually only 4 1/2 hours long so if I work a day I'm caring for your pet I will probably be back by the time they wake up and won't be gone for long! I have a very open schedule and can spend lots of time with your wonderful pets! I have a cat of my own I take care of and I help take care of 2 other cats, I have lived with dogs most my life but currently am not living with one. I understand the importance of schedules and playtime! I live with 3 cats and have lived with dogs my whole life, though currently I am not living with one. I know that feeding and keeping animals stimulated is very important to their health and happiness. I scoop litter, clean and vacuum, and clean pets almost every day. My clients I've had have had special diets and medications for pets so I am familiar with that, and I love a good walk!
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 15, when I began volunteering at my local animal shelter, Friends of the Animals in Phoenix. During my time there, I worked exclusively in the feline section, where I cared for both elderly cats and young kittens. I have experience with bottle feeding, supporting cats with disabilities, administering medications, and applying ointments or other topical treatments. Over the years, I’ve had two cats of my own. My current cat lives with me and has a disability that I help manage day to day. Cats hold a very special place in my heart—befriending them has always felt like a natural gift, and I truly love building trust and connection with each one I meet. I currently care for a cat with disabilities—she has sensitive skin that requires daily management, and an overactive bladder that can cause occasional issues. I stay close to her most of the day to help ease her separation anxiety and keep her comfortable. When I was younger, my first cat struggled with obesity, and I took an active role in supporting her through a healthy diet and gentle exercise to improve her quality of life. I genuinely love spending time with cats, and that extends beyond my own—several neighborhood cats often hang around my home, and I happily care for them too. I have a disabled cat that i take care of. She has bad skin that i help her manage and she has an over active bladder that sometimes causes problems so i usually spend all day with her to ease her separation anxiety. And when i was younger my first cat was overweight and id spend my time helping her with her diet and exercise so she wouldnt suffer. I love spending time with cats too so i take care of the neighborhood cats that hang around my house. I can feed your cat, help administer medications or ointments. I can spend time with them, play with them. Clean their litterbox or give them a bath. I can clean up after them or aid in special care if the cat has a disability. I can also bottle feed and care for kittens that may have been abandoned by their mom or just help manage kittens and make sure they dont get into something they shouldnt. its all stuff ive done before both at home and volunteering.
“Jordan has been wonderful about watching my ducks. It’s a somewhat unusual pet sitting request, but he adapted to it right away and always sends the cutest pictures. I feel confident leaving my duckies knowing Jordan is watching them.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs nearly all my life. I have a chihuahua named Mae who I rescued as a 6-week-old puppy. Taking care of her for the past 7 years has been the greatest joy of my life. I love all animals and I’m very excited to take care of other dogs in need of care. I am gentle, attentive, perceptive, and extremely detailed and thorough. I won’t miss a thing! I’ve unfortunately had to help my pup through several health crises due to her chronic health conditions and I’m very familiar with emergency care. Being a rescue with behavioral issues, I am also very skilled at managing difficult behaviors such as food aggression. I look forward to supporting your fur baby! I am currently available for pet care any day, any time. I am new to Portland and still searching for full-time work. My only other priority is caring for my own dog as well. I am happy to care for your pets in your home, whether it’s a drop-in visit, a few hours, or an overnight stay. For overnight stays, I will also need to bring my chihuahua, who cooperates with dogs who are not aggressive towards her.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love giving them the care and attention they need. Animals always brighten my day so it brings me great joy when I can return the favor. My schedule is wide open. I do other side gigs but I’m very flexible and can work around whatever time you or your pet needs me. My goal is for your home and your pets to look just like they did when you left. I will treat your home and your pets as if they were a friends/family members, which to me means respecting your privacy and giving your pet a warm, loving presence while you’re away.
“Cherie did an excellent job watching over our house and cat for 2 weeks. She really cared about the well being of our cat and put effort into building trust with her. Cherie went above and beyond by asking about additional things she could help out with around the house and even offering to stay later in case our flights were delayed. Would definitely book Cherie again!”
About: I have had a love for all animals since I was a little girl. I have either had a pet to care for or have been watching friends pets whenever the opportunity arises. I am a stay at home mom. I am available to check in on animals throughout the day or even take them for a walk! I like to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of whenever you are away. I want to make sure they have what they need.
About: my entire life I've grew up with animals that I have loved and taken care of. I'd be so excited to take care of someone else's pets. I have a schedule that is not consistent, I have a full time job. I always work weekends. But that doesn't mean I cant stop by and check on them throughout the day but I won't be able to spend full days with them unless I'm off. but I can be there as much as I'm needed through the night. unfortunately I can not board any pets in my home. The other residents wouldnt appreciate that including the territorial cat and bulldogs who like to guard the house
