About: Thanks to my destiny of being the cool auntie, I’ve got over 5 years of experience with petsitting and boarding! Growing up, dogs and cats surrounded me, and it’s only fitting they do the same in adulthood. Your fur babies will get all the love from me! I work for myself so my daily and weekly schedules are very flexible! My days start around 7am and go until 10-11pm, and I fill them with walks, errands, and leisure time at home. Summer/fall weekends are more busy for me (wedding/photography industry!), but I can still make time for AM/PM drop in visits. :) I have a spacious 1-bed apartment in a pet-friendly complex/community, located near the waterfront and nearby parks. In client homes I stay respectful of the space and can utilize any enrichments or crates if necessary.
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! A lifelong animal lover, proud cat and dog mom, and someone who believes every pet deserves kindness, comfort, and connection. I’ve been around animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. Today, I share mine with Kevin (my tabby) and MJ (my miniature schnauzer mix), and I bring that same care and attention to every pet I look after. Whether your pet is a ball of energy or a couch potato, I’m just happy to provide a safe, comforting presence. I also have an eye for detail and take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. From feeding and medications to playtime and routines, you can count on me to follow instructions closely and communicate clearly, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals genuinely makes my day better, and I’d love the chance to help make your pet’s day a little brighter, too. I’m currently free on weekdays and am available morning, noon, and evening for drop-ins, walks, or daycare. I have reliable transportation and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m comfortable caring for pets both in my home and in yours, and I adjust my approach based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for animals to relax and play. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and make sure they have quiet, cozy spots to unwind, especially if they need time to adjust or prefer alone time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routine. I stick closely to any instructions you provide. I know how important it is for animals to feel secure, so I make sure to keep things consistent and calm. In either setting, I bring patience, attention to detail, and a deep love for animals.
“Maya has been great with Winston! She takes the cutest pics and Winston always looks so happy to be with her. She follows all instructions and so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for your doggy needs. Thanks Maya!! :)”
About: Hi! I’m Gage—a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets, I’ve done it all. My own furry family includes Greta, a friendly 3-year-old Shar Pei, and Phil, my laid-back cat. I currently work from home, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available every day of the week, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. I live in Portland’s Pearl District, right above Fields Park. This is where I typically take dogs for walks—unless you have another preferred spot! Fields Park offers plenty of green space, safe walking paths, and a fully fenced-in dog park for off-leash fun and exercise.
About: I have lots animals they are a part of what makes me me. I have grown up with pets and now that I’m in school I miss taking care of them. I will take care of your furry friend with as much love as I take care of mine! I am available all evenings but Mondays and weekends are super flexible! I would love to provide more details with owners when planning! Thank you I will play close attention to the instructions and respect the rules provided. I will make sure to ask clarification when needed and provide updates!

Bobby was so lovely, communicative, and caring for our pups! He was very proactive to help make sure we knew the temperature was going to be hot outside and accommodate to make sure our dogs got exercise and time to go to the bathroom. So many photos! Would recommend.
My dog is a little timid with new people, but Renata takes such good care of him! She’s patient and kind and I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with him. She’s reliable and great with communication. Highly recommend her, especially for nervous/shy puppers. 🩵
Celeste was so wonderful with my baby boy. He’s only 12 weeks and she was so sweet, attentive, and patient. She went over and above to show him love during his walk time. I am so grateful for her, will be hiring her again, and recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!!
Allyson is so wonderful! She is incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible, and reliable. She really takes into account the needs of the pet’s owner and the pet. She also sends me pictures of my dog while I’m at work, which I look forward to everytime! 10/10 recommend!
