House Sitting Lents

“Donna was a fabulous house sitter. She as extremely communicative, very thorough with how she wanted to ensure that we were comfortable with her with our pup, and sent a TON of pictures and videos clearly indicating our pup was having a great time with her. We would happily have her back ANYTIME!”

“Michael was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos daily, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Michael watch Hazel again.”

“Absolutely the best. Tayler was super responsive and made our first experience with Rover incredible. She provided us with some many pictures and updates and our girls loved her. Will 100% be using her services again!”

Madison M.

“Megan was great. Got lots of cute pics of the pups while we were away and they looked well taken care of and happy upon our return. Would recommend!”

Brooke M.

“I would highly recommend Kiana to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Based on the photos she sent and how happy our dog and cat were when we got home, I know they had a great time with her. Her communication was excellent from the first contact through to us returning home. And our house looked exactly as we left it - it’s so good to come home to a clean house and happy pets. Thank you, Kiana!”

Alexis K.

“Excellent dog sitter. Jeff gives great communication and was more than flexible with our less than typical needs with our dog. Will definitely hire again.”

Hunter B.

“Kristen was a thorough and prompt communicator and awesome with our critters! Our anxious dog and cat warmed up to her quickly and she was able to navigate a troublesome toilet issue while we were gone. She is great and we appreciated her house sitting!”

Annalise H.

“Jamie too such good care of our girl, Piper! He provided frequent updates and checked in as needed. I could tell from the pics that Piper enjoyed Jamie’s company. She was very relaxed and pampered. Jamie was a natural with her - taking her on walks and letting her lounge in equal measure. As a 9 years old, she enjoys bursts of energy, but is more likely to sleep on her blanket or to pretend to be a speed bump! I didn’t worry at all while we were away. I would highly recommend Jamie to take care of your fur baby!”

Lourdes D.

“Chardonay and Ben are officially added to my list of dependable house and dog sitters! They took care of my two dogs, Fernando and Dolly, at my house while I was away for 4 days and I could not be more pleased. First and foremost, both the dogs were obviously well cared for and I received photo updates. From the get-go, Nando and Dolly took to Chardonay and Ben right away, and I felt reassured and could tell they were at ease with caring for dogs. Second, the house and yard were in immaculate condition when I returned. Seriously, spotless. Third, they are just super nice and great communicators both off- and online. Highly recommended!!!”

Nicholas K.

“Jaycen tended to all the needs of our dogs and communicated throughout the house sitting. We returned home to our house well kept and the dogs happy. Thanks Jaycen!”

Corey B.

“Melinda took excellent care of our pets and home. She was communicative, dependable, and very accommodating when our plans unexpectedly changed. She even gave our cat, Tiger, her inhaler without any issues—something we were a bit nervous about, but she handled it with ease. We felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We'd absolutely work with her again.”

Athena W.

“Merry was punctual, and a good communicator. She was very friendly and clearly cared about my animals well being, and safety. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Jeremy T.

“Renee took such good care of our little old man. We came home to a clean home and a calm pup. She was professional and provided great communication throughout. Thank you Renee!”

Kristin M.

“Forest did an amazing job watching my dog, Bo, while I was out of town. They kept me up to date on all the happenings around the house and sent daily feedback about Bo. Including pictures and videos! Forest took wonderful care of Bo and asked all the right questions before I headed out of town. I knew they were going to be a perfect sitter and they didn’t disappoint! From quality care, waiting until the heat of the day was past to walk, sending updates and leaving a spotless house… forest was spectacular! If you have the chance to book with forest, I would highly recommend! They took the time to ask about Bo’s needs and my expectations. I knew I was getting quality care with forest. I was welcomed back by one happy healthy pup thanks to forest :)”

Karen F.

“Adeline did a great job. Exactly what we asked for. She checked in with us during her stay. Respoinsive when we contacted her. Foxy and Gray Guy were fine when we got home.”

Carol P.

“Claire was a wonderful Sitter. She sent photos of our kitties frequently. She responded to our questions quickly. Our cats were very well adjusted when we returned. We would ask her to Sit again.”

About: Despite being the oldest of two, my parents' first baby was their basset hound, Ginger, adopted as a puppy. So, it should come as no surprise that I grew up understanding that our dogs are equal members of the family. I grew up in Massachusetts alongside our dogs Fiona (a rescue flat coat retriever) and Blu (a rescue basset hound). Fiona and Blu were like sisters to me: them and my sister and I all squished into the backseats of our family car for roadtrips, I came to understand my own anxiety seeing it in Fiona (who, as a rescue, has always been a bit nervous around people or loud noises), and I spent many summers in the backyard running around or lounging in the sun with Blu. My relationships with Fiona and Blu are what allow me to confidently tell you I adore dogs as companions and as unbelievably kind and smart creatures. In caring for your dog(s), I not only bring a deep awareness of how important they are to you, but also an excitement to build my own relationship with your pet and to enrich their lives! In caring for Fiona and Blu in their later years, I know a lot about senior dog care and how to administer medicine to dogs. I also love going on long (or quick!) dog walks and spending time playing with dogs. I also have extensive experience dog walking, sitting, and house sitting with a dog during my time working with dogs and cats while living in San Francisco this year. While caring for your dog, I always adjust my care to their individual specific needs! If you have a high energy dog who pulls, I try my best to sprint or run with them for a few blocks so they can get that energy out. If your dog has a pre-walk or post-walk ritual (treats, belly rubs, practicing commands), I've got it! If your dog needs breaks and water during the walk, I will rest with them and get them a drink until they're ready to go again. Following each sit or walk, I will provide you the pet parent with a detailed note about my time with your pup, telling little stories from our walk and some of their silly behavior, as well as taking photos of them walking and playing. :) I love dogs! I hope to meet yours soon and get to know them. <3 I have just moved cross country to SE Portland and am excited to start providing petcare full-time here! I have open availability to any time on weekdays. I love starting my day with a refreshing morning dog walk just as much as I enjoy an evening walk before your pet (and I) go to sleep. I especially would love to find some repeating weekly or daily walks, but am also beyond happy to provide care for one time sits as well! I accept house sits on a case-by-case basis (usually for less than a week or for high pay); since I've just moved to Portland, I want to settle into my new home a bit more before I am staying for extended periods of time at other houses. I am incredibly devoted to you and your pets' needs, whatever they may be! I will carefully follow any guidelines for watching your dog and how to be with and care for your dog in your home. I am reliable and both know how to problem solve on my own and know when to contact you and communicate a question or situation at hand for your input. Above all, the way I care for your pet follows the way you want me to care for them! Whether this is walking or playing with them until they tire out, or providing company during your work day by sitting with them and reading a book. Following each of my petcare visits, I provide a detailed note about my time with your pet. I will give a play-by-play of what happened from when I first arrive to when I say goodbye and give the little story of any silly or cute behavior your pet got up to during our time together!

“Selena was a fantastic and communicative pet sitter. She assured we were updated and that our cat was safe and well taken care of. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip by a week due to illness and Selena went above and beyond to help us out, making a difficult situation much less stressful. Would recommend Selena to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable sitter.”

“Kieran was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. He took the time to come by beforehand to meet both dogs and even walked my feisty little dog ahead of my trip—which made all of us feel comfortable right away. While I was away, Kieran kept me at ease with regular check-ins, photos, and quick responses whenever I had questions. I came home to two very happy dogs—and a house that looked exactly the same as I left it, which I truly appreciate. There was even a five-hour power outage while I was gone, and he handled it without a single complaint. On top of that, Kieran made sure my plants were watered during a stretch of 90-degree weather—definitely going above and beyond. Kieran has such a calm, easygoing demeanor, and I felt completely secure having them in my home. I will absolutely be hiring Kieran again and look forward to working with them throughout the coming year.”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”
