About: I have always been told I have a special touch with animals. When you’re away you want more than a pet sitter, you want your best friend to get some quality time! I work Thursday/Friday & Sunday/Monday from 10-6:15. Besides that I’m fully available to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, which means I’m present, attentive, and happy to adjust my day around what each pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide attentive, reliable care by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress free. I’m great at following directions, and have a lot to offer when it comes to companionship, playtime, and a calm presence. For dog walks, I can accommodate your dog’s needs surrounding exercise, enrichment, and safety. I also send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Hanna was awesome. We were in a pinch when our usual walker had to cancel last minute right before we went on a 2 week trip, and Hanna came through! Hanna put us at ease and completely brought our stress level down! Most importantly my puppers had some good adventures :)”

“Shannon is very communicative and took the time to do a meet and greet. She also was mindful of the heat and even went out of her way to bring a package in for me. Thanks Shannon!”

“Annika is fantastic. Our dog Wray, who suffers from separation anxiety, loves her and has stopped having accidents in the house since Annika has been walking her. She is extremely reliable and kind. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of, and been around dogs, pretty much my whole life. As an adult I have experience with leash/dog reactive dogs, super high energy puppies, done overnights for dogs with separation anxiety. I also have experience training my own dogs and really enjoy it. I am stay at home mom with both my kids in school so I have free time especially in the mornings after school drop off. I am very careful with other people's property. There should be no signs that I've in your home except for well loved, exercised and happy pets.
“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!! :)”

“Had such a great experience with Young! He took direction very well and was communicative! It was our first time working with Young and he was so kind enough to come by a few days in advance to meet Yogi. He understood our goal on wanting to continue leash training with Yogi and was very attentive to that! I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing Dissaya and Young’s services again!”


About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
“Julia has been very helpful pitching in for midday walks whenever we have schedule changes and cannot be home. We appreciate her flexibility, communication, and thoughtful attention to our dog!”

“Jaide is awesome! She bonded with Mischa almost immediately, every day she was looking for Jaide to show up. She was friendly, energetic, and she loved taking Mischa on her walks! Highly recommend her!!”

About: Hello my name is Niki and I have relocated from Hong Kong to Portland in 2024. I can speak Mandarin and Cantonese. I have over 10 years of experience looking after cats and dogs. I had a Corgi and now I have a cat follow me around everyday. I would let the dogs stay in living room and welcome they sleep in my bedroom. I suggest owner bring me their favorite toys, bed and enough food for the time. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I am available for boarding, doggy day care, drop-in visits and dog walking services here in the Pearl, Slab Town, Goose Hollow, Downtown, East End and PSU areas of Portland Oregon. In unfamiliar environments, they might refuse to eat dry food. So I cook fresh food, such as boiled chicken, eggs, broccoli, and sweet potatoes. Please let me know if your pet has any food allergies. I often use essential oils to help pets with anxiety, to calm down and relax.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and mutuals for a number of years. I’m comfortable around all size dogs and multiple cats. I pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I’ve volunteered on and off at animal shelters and sanctuaries and would love to sit some pets in my local area I am currently working full time on-site M-F and am available on the weekends. NOTE: Any additional visits after the first meet and greet will be charged as a drop-in visit (ex. any key pick-up/drop-off, extra M&G). I will only accept bookings in NJ if the toll will be reimbursed by the pet parent I know that all animals are different so as long as I have clear instructions from the client, I’m confident I will be able to provide a high quality standard of care to their animals
Northwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chris went above and beyond all expectations while he was caring for Winnie. He made sure she got plenty of exercise, took her on trips to new parks, and sent lots of picture updates. He was very easy to communicate with as well. I will absolutely be requesting his services in the future over any other sitter I’ve used. would give more than 5 stars if I could!
