Let me know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time. I prefer hypoallergenic dogs, dogs on the smaller side and friendly dogs.

I love playing in our large basement with balls and toys when its raining. I also have several dog puzzles for stimulation. I will take our furry friends on multiple walks rain or shine.

Will love your pet like its my own!

Pet care experience

I developed a love for animals very early on and grew up taking care of my pets which included dogs, cats, birds, snakes, frogs, chickens, etc. I have been a caretaker of pets for friends as well, since moving to Portland in 2000. I will treat your pets as I treat my own! I prefer hypoallergenic dogs due to some animal sensitivities in my house.

Mousse loved spending the evening with the whole family. When I arrived she proudly showed me her spot where she sits. April and family are the best.

Miss Mousse gets to stay with April and family pretty regularly. In fact, if she could talk, I’m sure they are the family she would most like to stay with.

Took great care of our dog Rose for a few days. Excellent communication and took her for lots of walks. Will definitely look them up again! Rose misses them already.
