Highlights
Pet care experience
Passionate Animal Enthusiast!
Hi there! My name is Kirby and I'm an english degree graduate who has given up on the process of finding a "real" job, meaning I have tons of free time to meet you and your pets! I live with two kitties, and have housed a variety of small animals in past years, including through volunteer work with Kuddles and Scales Rescue. Unfortunately, I still don’t have nearly enough furry friends in my life these days, so I'm always looking for an excuse to meet and befriend new critters. I have throughly enjoyed my stay here in Portland. I love the people and the culture, however I do find myself missing the work I did with animals back home in the Bay Area from time to time. I am a responsible, reliable individual with loads of volunteer experience working with both dogs and cats through ARF, the SF SPCA, and the Oregon Humane Society, as well as other animals such as sheep, goats, and rodents through the SF Zoo. My expertise includes extra attention for elderly pets, basic training, and medication administration, as well as exotic animal care. I am happy to provide a number of different services in your home and around Portland, from On-Demand dog walking, house stays, and even quick check-in visits. I can't wait to meet you and your pet(s)!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I recognize that allowing someone (particularly someone from the internet) to stay in your home and care for your beloved family members is an important responsibility, and trust is such an important part of a positive stay for all parties! I have a questionnaire that I bring and fill out during any new client meet and greets that includes sections about pet care and home needs so I can be sure I have the most accurate and complete picture of how to keep things running as smoothly as possible while you’re away. At the top of the list of importance— that your pet has the best time with their new friend, Kirby!
Ratings and reviews
Kirby has been great to work with and takes wonderful care of Maui!
Thank you! Kirby is a dependable friendly dog walker and my Zoey loves to go on walks with her.
Kirby has been a life saver this week. Last minute request for walking our dog twice a day when we were too sick to do it. Thank you!!!!
Oh my goodness Kirby is super thoughtful. On the 1st day I told Kirby I’d feed Zoey before I left and I forgot. She noticed and fed her. And she was only my dog walker not our house sitter. She always over and above!
Kirby is a great dog walker - I highly recommend! She really took the time to learn how to properly handle our anxious German shepherd. Our girl just loves going on walks with her. Thanks!!
Kirby is literally the best cat / house sitter out here. She's quick to respond to messages, thoughtful, super tidy, and is obviously our cat's favorite. The photos she sends during her stay show us that he's really comfortable around her and is taken care of. We don't have to worry at all while we're gone!

Schedule
I am a full-time pet care professional, so your animals’ needs are my first priority! I’m so grateful that my work requires my only alarm clock to be a wet nose and wagging tail reminding me it’s time for breakfast!
