Flexible, Loving, and Attentive!

Pet care experience

Update: I am currently out of the country. All requests at this moment will be denied. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! I grew up in a dog-loving home, and have taken care of my parents' dogs since I was young. When I moved out for school, I took to dog-sitting/boarding during breaks, and I've done it ever since, really! I love dogs and love to be around them, and I treat all dogs as if they were my own. I know that can be a big worry for most owners, whether the sitter will genuinely take care of the dog and their needs, but I can assure you that is my first priority. I am often available and pretty flexible with my schedule since I work from home, and can most likely keep up with any special requests. If not, I will communicate that with you. I'm pretty easy going and patient, and honestly I'm just happy to shower animals with love and affection (unless they want space...I can do that, too lol).

Portia took great care of our dog. She had him for two weeks and did an excellent job. She is very responsive to questions. We would have him stay with her again!

Portia took excellent care of our little dog! She followed our instructions regarding medications, food and walks exactly. We really appreciated the frequent updates. Berkeley obviously felt really comfortable with her as he was willing to snuggle with her at nap time - an honor usually reserved for my daughter! We will definitely use Portia again.
