“Skye-Ann was very communicative and responsive, which I really appreciated. I felt safe leaving my fur babies with Skye-Ann and would hire again!”
2. Jordan W.
“Jordan treated Nira like her own! We can always tell how well things went when our dog acts like we were never gone! Jordan was very responsible with watering all our flowers during this hot weather. All looked good when we returned.”
3. Tatiana D.
“Tatiana is wonderful! The pets were so well taken care of, house looked great when we got back. Kitty and dogs were all doing great and she sent lots of updates and pictures! I would book again with Tatiana in a heartbeat! She even commuted to another town to be with my fur babies”
4. Beth H.
“We have loved working with Beth. She has been helping us out for about 8 months now and is responsible and reliable. She really cares about our dog. She and her dog Nikita take our dog for walks which are really energetic romps through Indian creek. Our dog loves it and is always thrilled to see her. We highly recommend Beth”

6. Abigail N.
About: I grew up with dogs and don’t have one anymore. I have been getting great joy out of dog sitting while figuring out my own dog parent timeline :) I love neighborhood walks/hikes. Dogs make that even more fun! I enjoy an active lifestyle of walks, runs and bike rides. Having a dog around makes those outdoor activities (minus the bike rides) so much fun! I live in a single family home a with my partner. We have a fenced yard, and plenty of space for the dog to enjoy throughout the day. I prefer bringing the dogs to our place but am open to house sitting if need be.
7. Lauren D.
“Lauren was wonderful with our Ruby girl. Took her on several walks a day and played with her at our house. She was very detail, oriented and communicative. We would definitely have her back again in the future.”
8. Kris & Laura K.
“Kris is excellent with dogs and other animals. He has cared for our 3 dogs numerous times; a 14 year old maile lab, a 2 year old male French Mastiff, and a 9 month old female French Mastiff. The dogs are always healthy and happy when we return. Our dogs are active an require plenty of walks/ play to keep them occupied. Kris delivers above our expectations. He is stern and compassionate at the same time. We highly recommend Kris for your dog care needs.”
9. Blane I.
“Blane was great with our pups. They got plenty of exercise with her since they went for multiple hikes. She updated us with daily communications and pictures that gave us peace of mind. She also cared for our house and kept it clean and running (trash, mail, etc...). We will definitely reach out to her next time we need help with our pups!”
10. Angela P.
“Angela was absolutely phenomenal with our two goldens. She was and continued to be very responsive from the beginning, regularly sending updates and report cards each day. She was great at accommodating and sticking to their daily routine. Not to mention that she took great care of our home as well.”
11. Kyle M.
“As a pet owner himself, Kyle is caring and attentive to all animals. He is not only an exceptional caretaker to large and small animals, but he is also reliable and devoted. Always eager to go the extra mile to make sure animals are happy and well cared for!”
12. Katie Jo C.
“Katie is a wonderful sitter, would highly recommend! We arrived home to happy pets and a thoughtfully cared for space. She did a great job making our pets feel comfortable with her. Her communication is friendly and prompt. Would definitely book again!”
13. Kaitlyn C.
About: I live an active lifestyle that involves going on walks and hikes around the beautiful Columbia Gorge. I grew up with dogs around the house and would love to take care of yours! I can provide the following services; walks, med administration, poop patrol, and expert belly rubs. Currently I am a graduate student that works from home so I am avalible on the days that I do not go to classes. With this flexible schedule, it should be easy for me to fit you and your pet during the week. I have indoor cats that I love and care for. Therefore, I will not be able bring any dog or another cat into my home.
14. Steve H.
About: I've always had a dog or 2 throughout my adult lire. My last dogs were 2 labraodor mixed dogs from the local shelter that I enjoyed walking twice a day everyday of their lives. I also enjoyed taking them to go on hikes in New Mexico and Texas. I also enjoy cats but I am most comfortable with dogs. Currently I am working part-time 3 days a week - I have Wednesdays through Saturdays off so those are the days I'd prefer to schedule but could also schedule Sundays through Tuesdays if your pet can be left in a crate at my house for boarding. I very much enjoy walking dogs. I would try and see what makes your pet comfortable - if they seem like they need attention I enjoy making you pet feel comfortable.
15. Freya W.
“Freya looked after our Australian Shepherd, Cali, and our property for 7 days during summer 2024. She is a fantastic dog sitter and walker and I would recommend her services to anyone. I would be very happy to have her look after Cali again.”
16. Cody H.
“Cody loves dogs, and cats, for that matter. He has always had a heart to care for them as if they are his own children. He seems to 'talk' a different language with them and takes all the time needed to make them feel special. He pays attention to what they need and how they are feeling. Cody is super responsible and always sets alarms to make sure he doesn't miss out on scheduled walks/feeds. You will be happy you called him.”
17. Tara P.
“Tara was great! She took time to come meet Virginia and see the house pre sit, which put me at ease as I find discussing everything in person is more impactful than messaging back and forth. Tara left our home in perfect condition and Virginia was well taken care for. We would ask Tara to sit again in the future.”
18. Samantha L.
“Samantha has watched my dog on numerous occasions and has always been very good on sending photos and updates as needed. Her dog is super friendly and gets along with my dog amazingly, they are very good at tiring each-other out. We will definitely be using Samantha’s services in the future. Thank you!!”
19. Stacey T.
“Stacey has been walking my Great Pyrenees/Great Dane mix since August of 2022. It was twice a day, 5 or 6 days a week for months. She is very knowledgeable and handles him very well. She is prompt and always helpful. She even fit in unexpected visits when work kept me later than expected. Big thumbs up.”
20. Britney G.
“Britney did an amazing job dog sitting in our home for multiple days. In the past, our dogs have experienced much stress when we have left, but they were so completely comfortable with Britney. They were carefree and happy while she cared for them, walked them, gave them medications. She went above and beyond not only in the care of our dogs, but also our home. Our floors were cleaned, the poop was pick up, dishes were done, and even the bedding had been cleaned. We are so excited to have a reliable, professional caring for our pets in our home. We cannot recommend her enough!”
