“Great dog walker and even better person. She made sure our pup got all the walking she needed and was able to schedule on short notice. Definitely a life saver in a pinch!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember (I’ve been sneaking animals in my home since I was in diapers😌), and being around them truly makes me happiest. I’m incredibly empathetic toward animals (I don’t even kill bugs!), so every pet in my care is treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. The dogs in my photos are my beloved old pups (Milo the Golden Retriever and Yoshi the Shih Tzu) Milo was 8wks when I got him and Yoshi was 5wks — I don’t currently have any dogs, but I do have two friendly cats at home. Lucy my tiny little black cat🖤 and Foggy my orange menace 🧡 (both rescues) I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs over the years, from large breeds like Dobermans to small breeds like Shih Tzus. I’ve also had cats my entire life so growing up half my cats were kitties I found, some even needing bottle feeding. I'm comfortable with all things feline — from playful kittens to independent seniors. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, birds, and many other kinds of pets throughout my life. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like family. 💛 Hiii! You like my name? Thanks! I got it for my birthday ! Jk it’s long😒 I know so I just go by Mari (pronounced Maury) As you see being a stand up comedian isn’t my calling so here I am 🥲 I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of free time and even more love to give your fur babies! I currently live in Vancouver, Being home most of the day means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and one-on-one time. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays from 7am–4pm and Sundays from 7am–1pm, with flexibility whenever possible to help fit your schedule (I remember how hard it was finding doggy daycare when I had my pups and ended up taking them to work with me) Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, a potty break, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to help! While I currently live in an apartment with a spacious balcony, please know that your pup won’t be cooped up inside all day! We will spend much time out exploring, enjoying fresh air, and getting in plenty of movement and mental stimulation. Walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor adventures are very important to me in order to keep a pup happy and healthy! I’d love to be your fur baby’s (and yours!) new friend and help make their day (also yours!😌) a little brighter!✨🐾🩷 I unfortunately don’t own a house and currently live in a third-floor apartment with a big back balcony, perfect for some fresh-air fun! I live near lots of parks and walking trails so being stuck inside my home will definitely not be an option.I have two friendly cats who can be tucked away if needed. My kiddos (ages 8–17) may occasionally be around (no school days) but they all love animals as much as I do and know how to respect boundaries, especially with pets who are a little skittish around kids.I love sharing updates! Expect lots of cute photos and videos so you can see your fur baby’s enjoying every walk, play session, and cuddle break.📸 Your fur baby's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll get plenty of love, cuddles, and care, and will feel right at home!🩷

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 10 years. I was a dog sitter on a military base for years. Plus I have my own 10 year old dachshund that is my best little friend. There’s no such thing as a bad dog, they just all have their own little personalities! I’ve also volunteered in many animal shelters over the past 10 years. I currently work full time as a corrections nurse, however, I miss being around animals and would love to be able to love on doggies before work and on my days off. I work swing shift from 330pm-12am so I am available every day from 6am-2pm and I am available all day on Mon and Tues and every other weekend! I have a mini dachshund who loves other doggies and would gladly come on walks with us! I have a doggy stroller if your pup is older and can’t walk as far but you still want them to get some fresh air. I have no issues crating dogs, taking them on walks, playing with them in the backyard, or taking them to dog parks.

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.

About: I have had dogs or taken care of dogs my whole life. I would walk my neighbors dogs. I would gladly take care of them if needed. I am currently available any day or time. I am retired and want to fill my days taking care of dogs and any other animal. I prefer to stay at your home to care for your pets since they are comfortable there. I have transportation and am happy to meet with your animals before I am hired.

“Deanna is a fantastic communicator, always so cheerful and positive. I really appreciate this when work days are tough, she adds some happy to my day when she send pics of Lola enjoying her walks. :)”

About: We have been house sitting / pet sitting for several months this year already! Clark has had dogs all his life and Kimberly has had cats all her life. We house sit for the same family every year that has 1 dog, 1 cat, 9 bunnies, 9 chickens, some fish and a large garden. At my old job I had two dogs around that I took on walks and to the vet and for baths all the time. We have plenty of experience and love animals. We are returning home to the Portland area after traveling for 6 months overseas! We are hoping to explore different areas of Portland while caring for your pets :) We have both recently started to look for new jobs so we have all the time in the world for your animals. We have great reviews and love being around the animals. We have experience watching all sorts of animals - dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, and fish. We always leave the home cleaner than when we arrived and have no problems reaching out with questions or concerns.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was nine years old, starting with my family’s German Shepherd, Elsie. Growing up with a large breed taught me how to handle bigger, stronger dogs with patience, structure, and confidence — as well as how to provide gentle, loving care for dogs of all sizes. I’m now a full-time, at-home pet parent to my 3-year-old Maltese, Toby, who is friendly, well-socialized, and fully up-to-date on vaccinations. I always introduce pets slowly and can keep animals fully separated if needed to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I live right next to a dog park for owners who are comfortable with that, and my apartment complex also has a private, fenced-in yard that I’m happy to send photos of. This allows for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and fresh air in a secure environment. For cats, I’ve helped care for and pet-sit through my aunt’s professional cattery, where I assisted with daily care for well-bred, show-quality cats, including Persians. This gave me hands-on experience with proper feeding routines, grooming, litter care, and creating a calm, clean environment for cats with specific needs and temperaments. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m always happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, feeding on your pet’s normal schedule, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly community with a private, fenced-in dog and easy access to a larger nearby more active dog park for owners who are comfortable with that. I always supervise outdoor time, introduce pets slowly, and can keep animals fully separated if needed I have more than one room! My home is clean, calm, and smoke-free, and I follow any special instructions you provide for feeding, medications, crate use, or mobility needs. I’m always happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Shelley thank you for your service! My babies looked so happy with you and I appreciate the detailed visit and pictures ! I’ll most definitely be booking you again”

“Megan has been great and responds very quickly, even with short notices. My dog returns home happy after every walk. She is communicative regarding pick up/drop off times and updated availability. Hand offs have been easy breezy - I will recommend Megan to anyone.”

About: I Owned 2 dogs in my life and loved them unconditionally and I used to dog set my neighbors pet when they go on vacation. I work part time so I have a good amount of time to walking some pets, plus I try my best to walk at least 10,000 steps a day so why not do it with a furry friend My house has a Gated yard but not a lot of space to run so that's why I'm there to walk them around to explore new areas

“YAY! So grateful I found Elaine. I twisted my ankle and she was there helping me every day for 7 days so that I could rest. Her energy, kindness, flexibility, communication, and love of animals is so evident. I would let Elaine take care of all of my animals at any moment. I will absolutely have her walk Ginger again. And also boarding!”

“Brooklyn is great with Maizie. When Maizie sees her, she gets so excited to go on a walk. It's so helpful to have someone who can commit and help my girl get the activity she needs when I'm working. I love the updates on Maizie's feelings that are part of the walk.”
