Active, Fun Pup Lover

Pet care experience

I have been dogsitting in Portland since I moved here over two years ago and has been so much fun to get to know each little pup, cat, and even a few chickens. I am a licensed therapist (for people) and lover of all animals. I would love to be able to play with, watch over, and walk the furry ones in your life - even provide vegan homemade treats with your consent. I have had dogs in my life from the tiny teacup varieties to the larger puppy at heart boxers and pits - I will stop to pet any pup that comes my way. My schedule is flexible and due to demand I am currently limiting my services to the east side of Portland, unless you have booked with me previously (no new clients west of the river and east of 205). Once acquainted with your pup, I would be able to individualize the activities based on your needs and activity level of your pet. Also, please let me know of any activities that your pet would like on their walks or overnight stays. My schedule is flexible and if I’m staying with your pet you can expect for them to be left no longer than 4 hours at a time. I have regularly scheduled walks and check in’s that require me to leave them in the home while I’m gone. I typically stay in the home unless your pet prefers otherwise. I typically don’t need to be gone for longer than 4 hours at a time.

Anna was fantastic! Dogs were happy and tired when we got home. Great communication while we were away. Calm with all the plans. Handled our high anxiety pup amazingly. Super helpful, offered to pick up doggie meds when we were running out. All around the best!

Anna was amazing. Buster was so happy, and Anna did an incredible job with our old pup.

Came back to happy and healthy dogs, which is the most important thing. Anna also took care of more plants than initially expected which I'm super grateful for, and she started the laundry before leaving which was great to come home to. There were a few things we were less thrilled about. The communication was not great - I didn't hear from her at all for a full 2.5 days and was starting to wonder if I should send a neighbor over to check on things. She also took both my dogs out together initially, not per the instructions we left, which works with most dogs but doesn't work with ours at all since one needs lengthier walks and is leash reactive, and one is elderly and blind and doesn't go for walks at all. It's a safety concern for both and doesn't fulfill the needs of the younger one. Starting out like that gave me some anxiety for the rest of the week. We also came back to bits of trash on the floors throughout every room, including what looked/smelled like the butt of something smoked, though I could be wrong on the specifics. Not anti smoking of whatever people want, but anti that being left on the floor where my dogs could ingest it. Other than that there were just several other instances of where she disregarded the written instructions we left. To be fair, there was a lot in the instructions since I wanted to cover all the bases of what could happen and not just what was exactly needed, but yeah. Grateful she cared for my dogs (and plants), but wasn't thrilled overall with the experience.

Anna did a great job with our dog and she kept my tomato’s alive too. It was nice returning to a happy guy and tidy house. We will definitely ask her to house sit again in the future.
