Pet care experience

I show up and I love animals.

I love animals and this is the best job in the world. My dog Ruby accompanies me, she's a fun girl! We travel by foot and by bus so we're restricted to the St Johns neighborhood of Portland, and all times need to be a bit flexible.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When sitting i like to be in the client's home as much as I can, or to take the doggies with me on my daily walks if possible. My sitting rate is equivalent to about three walks, if you'd like someone to stay overnight to keep them company then this is a good option.

I’ve so enjoyed working with Alex and I’m sad to be leaving the St. John’s neighborhood. I can’t recommend him (and Ruby) highly enough, they’ve been great with my cat.

A wonderful dog walker, who deals with a pup that will eat anything, but more importantly, a great person that is superbly friendly when you happen upon him and his pup walking the streets of St Johns. Both I and Frankie are so thankful for his professionalism, kindness, and ability to change schedules on short notice, plus he is great about communicating any delays or scheduling issues that arise.

I need to know if they're generally a flight risk or any behaviors that might impact the stay but usually everything just goes smoothly. It sure helps if they get along with Ruby.
