“Aaron was great! Flexible drop off and pick up times. Lilith got to play with other dogs while there and was exhausted when she got home. Will definitely book again!”


2. Alma D.

“Alma is amazing with my (initially) timid pup, Gambler! He warmed up to her quickly, and he had a great time playing with her dog and going for pack walks in the neighborhood. I got pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel comfortable and reassured that he was adjusting to the new environment. He always comes home happy and tired, which is perfect!”

“So grateful for Jackie P! She's super sweet and easy going. She's help so much more than feeding & walking. She trained our puppy too. No more jumping up on people, peeing in the house, crate trained and socialized with other dogs. Did I mention she trained us too.... Consistency is Key! She's flexible, and when we go away she stays at our home. Waters the plants and keeps the house tidy. Love that!! She's a keeper. ..Margaret T”

15. Andrew & Jeffrey R.
“I was initially apprehensive about leaving my dog, Rosa, with a new sitter, but Andy exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment we met, I knew he would shower my little friend with love and care. Andy's compassionate, attentive, and fun demeanor immediately put me at ease. During our initial consultation, Andy asked thoughtful questions about Rosa's habits, likes, and dislikes, and even took the time to understand her unique personality and quirks. He was flexible and accommodating when it came to scheduling walks and playtime, and kept me updated with photos and stories about Rosa's adventures through regular pupdates. What truly impressed me was Andy's genuine affection for Rosa. He treated her like his own from the start, demonstrating a deep understanding of canine behavior and body language. He even sent me videos of Rosa playing with her favorite toys and snuggling up for belly rubs and head scratches! Rosa now recognizes him and gets incredibly excited to see him, giving him four paws up! Andy is always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have, and I feel confident knowing that Rosa is in good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced dog sitter. He truly has a gift for connecting with dogs, and we're grateful to have found him. Thanks again for taking such wonderful care of my beloved friend! It such a relief to know she is in your loving care while I’m away. ♥️”


16. Emilia K.

“Emilia took great care of my dog Louie who is a bit nervous around new people. Communication was great and I could tell my little guy felt very comfortable with her. Would 10/10 recommend!”




17. Melissa V.


“We couldn’t say enough about our dogs’ stay with Melissa. We needed dog-sitting on super short notice and Melissa was available and fantastic. Communication was constant, she took our pups out frequently for exercise and bathrooming, and we got pics throughout the day. She was accommodating to both of our dogs, one that is a little hyperactive and domineering, and the other one a little nervous and anxious, and she was great with both. We’d love to have our dogs stay with her on future trips to Portland.”


18. Thomas & Scott R.
“Thomas is a dog and cat lover who treats them like family. Your pet is in good hands with Tommy. He is an experienced walker with a friendly personality that animals love.”


19. Andrew L.


“Andrew is a true gem! We flew in for a weekend of family events and Andrew picked up our standard poodle and took great care of him! I felt very secure that Jasper was in good hands!”


20. Anderson M.
About: I got my first dog for Christmas when I was 5, and have loved dogs my entire life. Dogs really are mans best friend and your best friend is safe and secure with me! I work currently from home and travel sometimes so just reach out and we can confirm that things will work with both of our schedules.
