1. Haley Jo C.
“The kitties had a great time with Haley. She provided us with excellent, detailed daily updates, photos, and kept an eye on some health issues we’ve been tracking. She made sure our lady got her medication twice daily and cleaned up and notified me of some vomit from our older boy with kidney disease. Haley came by for a meet and greet before our booking and we were very impressed by her; she’s very personable, professional, and we could tell she loved kitties and animals and would give them great care while we were gone. She was super flexible when I had to push our trip forward a week due to a personal health reason and I’m glad we made the decision to book with her !”

7. Jayson M.
“Jayson is my first choice always to care for my two cats! I used another sitter once and I very disappointed. Jayson gives the cats 2 meals per day and follows the directions for what to add to their food at each meal, he leaves the house clean and litter free and washes out the food cans and puts them in an airtight container, He is responsive and posts neat pics. Jayson is an awesome guy and caring cat sitter! Linda”

“Absolutely wonderful! Viva is attentive, kind, considerate and takes my puppy for great, engaging walks! My puppy loves her and enjoys the walk break while I’m at work. Viva takes pictures and videos of my puppy that I love receiving!! 10/10 would recommend her for any dog walking needs :)”

“Our first day with Fiona stopping in, but I can tell she’s going to be great! The dogs loved her on first sight and she was ver communicative during her visit. I used to work from home and they are used to being with me most of the day, so it was a stressful day and nice to know that somebody who loves animals was with them for part of the day.”

20. Shannon D.
About: I am a Portland educator who loves to bike, hike, and adventure around town. I grew up with two large dogs and miss caring for pups! I am considering adopting a puppy, but before I do, I want to experience pet care more consistently. I am available for long walks, beach runs, and couch cuddles. I work until 3pm M-F, with some time around noon to walk and play. I will have much more flexibility this summer. I love to run after work! I love playing with dogs just as much as I love a good couch cuddle. Depending on the dog's personality, I am available for hanging at home or running on the beach.
