Hi there! We’re Justin and Lyra, and we’re a couple that loves animals. Both of us are fairly new to Portland and aren’t in a place to take on a pet of our own full-time, but we love having animals in our lives, so we’d love to help you take care of yours! We live in a pet-friendly apartment complex just a short distance from Irving Park and Dawson Park. Your pets are welcome to stay with us any night of the week. But if you just need us to check in and walk your pup (or cats, we love cats, too) during a long busy work day, we can do that, too! A little about us: I (Justin) spent a year as a professional dog walker and house sitter in San Francisco, where I’d often stay at clients’ homes while they were away. I’ve also lived in multiple residences where my roommates had pets – both cats and dogs – and I’d regularly take on the role of caretaker / play friend. Lyra is a regular volunteer at the Oregon Humane society – she grew up with a sweet Beagle/Rottweiler mix for whom she had to regularly administer her heart and arthritis medication. She’s got more experience with that side of pet sitting than I do, but together we make a great team. We’re both communicative, reliable and respectful individuals. Long term, we’re planning on traveling around the world as full-time pet sitters, but that’s a few years from now. In the time being, we’d love to help you out here in Portland, where I’m a student and she works from home full-time. Thanks everyone. Can’t wait to get to meet you and your pets. Contact
