“Lucinda has been a wonderful addition into our pups life! This is our first time using Rover so we were a little uneasy, but Lucinda made it extremely easy to entrust a stranger with our Oreo girl. She came over for a meet and greet and is wonderful with our pup. She provided the walks in the time frame we requested and provided detailed updates with lots of pictures. We definitely feel comfortable with her taking care of our pup and highly recommend her! Thank you Lucinda!!”

“Travis is off to a great start! He is very professional, reliable, and punctual. He is doing a great job with Rosie, even was patient with her when she was a little apprehensive at first with a new dog walker.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, and pet/house sitting for friends, family, and other people throughout the last 6.5 years. My family had two dogs while growing up who I adored and loved taking care of. I also worked at a dog daycare for a bit during my freshman and sophomore years of college. I have always enjoyed being around dogs and spending time caring for them. They deserve all the love and attention they can get! I am detail-oriented and pay attention to the little things that matter. I do have a part-time job so I am available Mondays and Wednesdays after 11:00 am as well as Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays after 4:30 pm and anytime on the weekends. I have always loved working with and spending time with dogs. Being mindful of their body language, the environment they are in, and many other factors is important in making sure they are well cared for and comfortable. Dogs - just like humans, love their routine and I intend to stick to it. I love taking pictures and providing several updates while taking care of pets. I believe it is important to keep owners informed and up to date on how/what their dog is doing. Especially because I know that when I miss my dog it's always nice to know that they are okay.

“Veronica has a special gift with my Akita girl Koji. She is absolutely tuned into a very emotionally intelligent 85 lb machine. We used her all during construction season for months. We HIGHLY recommend Veronica!”

“Matthew is energetic, enthusiastic, on time, kind, and loves dogs. My 14 mo old lab, Jerry, is full of energy and determination and is very strong and Matthew knew just how to handle him. Jerry was so happy to see him every morning! I have only high praise and deep gratitude for Matthew.”

About: My Pet Care Experience I’ve had a lifelong love for animals, caring for many cats and dogs over the decades, starting as a young child. Whether it's in my home or yours, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I offer both in-home pet care and visits—stopping by to walk your pet, give them a needed relief break, or simply provide companionship while you're away. With experience in fostering through the Humane Society, I understand each pet’s unique needs and provide the love and attention they deserve. What Sets Me Apart I treat your pet like family—because to me, they are. With a calm, pet-friendly home and years of hands-on experience, I provide the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own animals. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone who works from home and loves taking walking breaks, I enjoy being outdoors and would be thrilled to bring your pet along with me for a walk. If your pet prefers to stay at home, I’m happy to stop by to give them a break, provide attention, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. With years of experience caring for pets, I understand the importance of personalized care and giving your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. My one-story, fenced yard is perfect for keeping an eye on pets while they enjoy some fresh air. I live near beautiful walking paths, providing plenty of new territory for exploration and positive mental stimulation. Plus, there are several local shops that welcome animals, where your pet can get a treat and enjoy positive social interactions. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just a break in the yard, your pet will feel loved and cared for.

About: The first pets I ever sat were my neighbors horses. Soon after, a forest fire came through and I had people bringing me wild rabbits and birds to rehab. The critters have gotten much more standard since - cats, rodents, birds, reptiles, and aquatic friends. My own cat is an old curmudgeon with sad kidneys so I know how important food quality and consistency is. I know not to overfeed fish and can do partial water changes if you'd like. I work a desk job at a nonprofit by day and frequently volunteer for a different nonprofit by night. These take me across a decent swathe of the city including Hillsdale, Brooklyn, Woodstock, Laurelhurst, and Montavilla. Show me your routine and I'll keep it consistent. I don't allow dogs to jump on me and there are dogs that sit only for me. I have been told that my love language is competence and I love every critter in my care. For house sitting stays, I may bring a guest by for extra company, depending on the critter.

About: Born and raised in rural central California, I've been surrounded by animals ever since I can remember. I've gladly taken on roles of rescuer, caregiver, ear-scratcher, and fur-mama - roles that brought joy and a sense of fulfillment. Currently away from home and unable to have pets of my own, animal care is no longer a part of my daily routine. This has left a void that I'm hoping to fill by helping you care for YOUR fur-babies! Communication is VERY important to me - I totally understand the need to receive regular updates and quality photos and I will happily fulfill it :) I currently work remotely and volunteer part-time. This gives me the flexibility I need to add a little something to some of my non-working/volunteering mornings and afternoons. My current home doesn't allow pets- however, at my previous home, our 2 dogs and 3 of 7 cats were indoor/outdoor. The dogs have a strict feeding schedule with personalized portions and additions to their food. I also give the dogs oral flea meds once a month, and have andministered oral anti-inflammatory meds in the past. The cats have wet food in the morning in the garage, with feeders of dry food to graze throughout the day. While they're relatively independent- I have to give them a lil love whenever me meet.

“Mia took great care of our five-year-old dog, walking him twice per day. She communicated pick-up times and was very responsive to answering messages. My dog can be reactive to people and pets while on leash, but he immediately went to her on our meet-and-greet. I would definitely book her again and encourage you to consider her!”

Janelle M.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our precious girl. We’re able to rest much easier when we aren’t home knowing she’s in such good hands.”

About: After taking a break from pet sitting to focus on a full-time job, I’m so excited to be back doing what I love most — caring for pets! I have several years of experience walking dogs, providing playtime, and keeping pets happy and healthy while their owners are away. Whether it’s trips to the park on sunny days, indoor play on rainy afternoons, or a relaxed walk around the neighborhood, I make sure your pets get the exercise and attention they need. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I have my own car for safe and easy pet transportation. I’m happy to follow your pet’s specific routines to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Reliable, responsible, and passionate about animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own — so you can feel confident they’re in great hands. Pet care fits easily into my routine because my schedule is currently wide open and flexible. Being unemployed at the moment means I can work around each client’s needs, whether that’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening walks. I enjoy planning my days around giving pets the time, attention, and exercise they deserve. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. During walks, drop-ins, or house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions closely — making sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy playtime and companionship. I also keep their space clean, follow any established routines, and provide updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

“Fantastic! Flexible, prompt, skilled and prepared!”

“Andi is SO GREAT. She walked Ellie again several times this week and it’s been a breeze. She is really knowledgeable about dog psychology and different breeds, has a calm assertive energy and a common sense approach which I appreciate so much. I’ll be booking her services again and would definitely recommend her to others. Andi is just a very pleasant person and I’m so happy we found her! Thank you Andi!!”

About: I'm respectful, have good work ethic, and absolutely love doggies. I wouldn't necessarily call my self an expert dog trainer, but I do love playing, walking, and experiencing their own individual personalities. The thing with dogs is I've never met one I didn't like. Sounds like a good way to spend my time while paying the bills. I have great empathy for dogs, and understand that as the dog walker, it is my responsibility to take care of their needs and wants. I don't want to cause a dog to be sad/hungry. I want to keep a dog happy, full, hydrated, and socialized. I also understand that just like people, dogs may not necessarily feel like sprinting to the end of the road, so I can respect that.
