“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: With over 15 years of experience in dog sitting and walking, caring for animals isn't just a job, it's a passion. I believe pets are family and should be treated with the same love, attention, and care we give to our closest loved ones. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or a cozy cuddle, I make sure every pet I care for feels safe, happy, and truly spoiled with love. With over 15 years of experience in dog sitting and walking, caring for animals is second nature to me. I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy a routine of morning, lunch, and evening walks—and on weekends, you’ll find us hiking or exploring local parks I have a fully fenced yard that's perfect for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys to keep dogs entertained, and a pet-friendly home where pups are welcome on the couch for snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I make sure every pet feels happy, relaxed, and spoiled with love.😊

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.

“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 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.

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
