Took one of the dogs to a vet appt, send us photos and videos most days, and provided little anecdotes of the dog’s antics. She also kept our home spotlessly clean and even washed sheets and towels and made the bed she used during her stay. Surpassed our hug expectations.

“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”


“Ben was a great communicator before, during, and after our visit. He watched Penny over the fourth of july and the fireworks were stressful for our dog. He handled it really well and was checking in with us to help manage her stress. Would definitely book again!”


About: Hello! We’re back! Located in SE Portland now, we are here for your k9 and kitty needs! My wife and I have been taking care of dogs, even running our own business for the better part of 6 years (in another life). From Hawaii, to Austin TX, and now PDX, we have experience with a range of ages, sizes and breeds- from puppies to old timers, we can handle anything and everything. Hopping back on Rover to help save some money for a house! Also part time photographers, you will also get semi-pro photos to show off your kiddos and no extra charge. :) :) We are very active and will love to take the pups on walks, hikes, rivers and even the coast (if allowed and what you’re comfortable with.) We will happily maintain training habits, handle medication, and give them lots of soft spots for relaxing and cuddling. I work from home, so they will always have someone around- this means lots of potty breaks in the day! We can provide references and social media info so you can check out pictures and video at the meet and greet! :) I work full time and am available for your pets needs 24/7. My wife and I have 3 small dogs of our own so we have to keep a good routine. Due to the fact that we live in an apartment now, we are not capable of boarding your dog, but as a house sitter, we will abide by all rules, training, and schedules to ensure they are comfortable. You leaving can be stressful to them, so we make sure we provide a comfortable and safe environment for them so they can still thrive.

“Our cat had a super-terrific time with Zoe and the house was very well taken care it. We got very timely updates and many cute pictures. We will definitely have Zoe house/cat sit for us again.”


“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”

“Jamie is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. He took excellent of my senior, arthritic, anxious pit bull and 4 ducks. He asked thorough, conscientious questions about their care which showed me how much he really cares. My dog Annie has difficulty walking long distances and Jamie was incredibly patient and kind with her. He also left our house extremely clean. Thank you, Jamie!”
