Dog owner and lover!
Pet care experience
I’ve spent my entire life with golden retrievers as my family pet and currently have a very energetic 2.5 year old golden named Angus and a 6 year old terrier mix named Pippin. I’ve been house and dog sitting both in personal and professional capacities for the last 10 or so years give or take a few. I love dogs of all kinds but have a soft spot for goldens, terriers, and dachshunds.
Reviews
The dogs were in good health and good spirits when we returned. I don't think Abigail had enough time between work snd school to be with my dogs as much as they are used to. The house showed the 1 year oldest boredom.
I will say our animals were well taken care of. It appears meds were given on time and the animals(cat/bulldog) were happy as can be when we returned home from being out of state for 5 days. The care of our animals was not any of the issue we had while Abigail house sat for us. The reason we will NOT be hiring Abigail again, is the inconsiderate nature of her stay in our home. We welcome our sitters to have a friend over to hang out while they house sit. This was suggested to and encouraged during our meet and greet. What we did not want was this friend staying at our house, with their cat (who was not approved ahead of time and we only knew this because we saw them enter on our Ring cam), while Abigail had left for the day. Concerned on how our dog would respond to a new cat in the house we reached out and were assured it would stay in a bathroom for the entirety of the stay. We ok'd it. The extra house guest ended up leaving the front door unlocked on several occasions, and we arrived home to find cat feces stuck to the floor of the bathroom that the cat had stayed in. Not the end of the world, but also not very welcoming. Overall we found the decision Abigail made to let her friend stay in our house alone to be in poor judgement and turned what would have been a 5 star review to a meager 3 stars.
Abigail was great, perfect communication. I felt like I could really trust her watching my cat.

Safety, trust & environment
I share a house in Lake Oswego with 3 close friends who are also Lewis & Clark students. We don’t currently have a house pet but did have a lovely cat named Jezze living with us for a while. I live in an incredibly safe and walkable neighborhood and have a unfenced grassy front yard that I’m able to take dogs out on while leashed. I’m happy to have pets on the furniture as I love to hangout and cuddle with them as I relax or do homework. I’m always happy to take to take your pups on a walk or just play with them in the backyard. I’m very affectionate with my pets and spend as much quality time with them as possible while I’m home in Washington but feel very pet starved while I’m in Portland for school.
Information Abigail P. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if your pet has any special accommodations, how they are on a leash, and how they are with other dogs and people. Other than that I’m good to go!
A typical day
I live in a walkable neighborhood near a park and downtown Lake Oswego where I would love to walk with your pup! I’m always game for some fetch or tug of war or just some cuddles!
