Pet Sitting Parkside

“We had a 5-star experience with Madeleine. From the get-go, her communication was clear and proactive. And she was very quick with follow ups. We had no doubts our dogs were well cared for, and we'd definitely have her sit for us (them) again. ; )”

“Julia was very dependable and my dog seemed to be really comfortable with her, even though she is usually a bit anxious. Would definitely book with Julia again.”

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, from growing up with pets to pet-sitting countless dogs and cats across NYC. My two cats, August and Ivy, are the absolute loves of my life - My goal is simple: to provide your beloved pets with the exact same high standard of care, safety, and affection that my own two companions receive at home. I work in the office 3 days a week, but I have an hour for lunch and live only 7 min from my office. If close enough I will be able to check in midday as well as morning and after work. I have a fenced yard, though my cats are indoor only I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and enjoy playing fletch for round after round after round. I am organized and will have notes based on what you need for each drop in, will supply pictures, be there on time and stay the whole time. Having used rover myself I know how integral these things are!

“Stacey is wonderful! She is friendly, reliable, and great with our cat. Our cat has some behavioral issues and is not the easiest to take care of. He's no sweat for her and he's even starting to warm up to her. Stacey is attentive and thorough with her visits with him. We will be using her again and again! :)”

“Nishat aka The Cat Whisperer was incredible!! She took wonderful care of our cats and home while we were gone for 10 days. She sent pictures and updates which was fantastic. Hands down the best sitter we’ve ever had!”

Ben B.

“Repeat cat sitter!! Destiny was super quick to respond to any issues that came up and always left extremely detail notes after every visit. Highly recommend!!!”

“Alejandro was great!”

“Maureen took care of our elder cat babies while we were away for the holiday. She walked us through the entire process and was very knowledgeable. We had never used this type of service before, but it was necessary due to daily meds. Maureen was easy to get ahold of and we felt our quirky cat babies were in good hands.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, and especially love taking dogs on walks where they get to lead with their noses. I wish I could get a pet right now but since I can’t, I love helping out other pet owners to get my dog and cat fix! I just moved to Portland and am applying for work in conservation and/or education, so have a very open schedule as I continue my job search. I am usually gone on weekends out in the woods somewhere, but am around the city on weekdays! I cannot host pets in my home, but will happily visit your home and make sure to follow all pet care instructions you leave for me!

“We felt so at ease with Lindsay watching our cats! She did everything we asked, sent great pictures, and was a great communicator the entire time!”

Amanda L.

“Lauren stopped by our apartment twice a day to feed our 13 year old cat for a little over a week while we were away. We especially appreciated how she went above and beyond by making extra trips in the morning to split up our cat’s feeding schedule to help accommodate her sensitive stomach. Her daily check ins and quick communications were so appreciated and helped us feel way more at ease.”

Collin B.

“Norwyn is very communicative, responsive and takes great care of my old dog. Thank you!”

Jacqueline R.

“Katey is an all star! Even when a health complication for our cat occurred right before we left for vacation she was able to help us handle it. We returned to 2 happy kitties.”

John G.

“Sera did a wonderful job watching my cat! She was on time, communicative, and sent super detailed visit cards that kept me at ease while I was out of town. She followed my instructions and also added some extras like hiding treats for enrichment and brushing that were much appreciated!”

Melanie A.

“Meagan was fantastic with my kittens! Lots of pictures (she could be a professional animal photographer, some of them are so good) and lots of updates. She was also very flexible with my schedule.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always considered pets part of the family. I grew up with dogs and currently spend lots of time with our family’s high-energy Blue Heeler mix, who keeps me active and reminds me how much enrichment, exercise, and attention dogs need to thrive. I’m also a lifelong cat lover. My 19-year-old cat recently passed away after many years together, and during his final years I provided extensive care, including managing daily medications and supporting him through several medical needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I currently volunteer walking dogs at the Animal Welfare Society, where I love getting to know dogs with all different personalities and energy levels. I especially enjoy working with active breeds who need extra exercise, mental stimulation, and adventure. If you have a high-energy dog who loves walks, exploring, or getting outside, I’d love to help! I’m happy to provide everything from neighborhood walks and drop-in visits to longer adventures like day hikes for dogs who are ready for a little more activity. I work full-time, so my availability is focused around evenings, weekends, holidays, and scheduled visits. I am available for overnight stays in your home, and I’m happy to provide cat sitting, drop-in visits, and care for pets who benefit from a little extra attention while you’re away. For dogs, I offer walks and visits during my available times, with a special love for active dogs who need exercise and enrichment. Weekends and holidays are great opportunities for longer walks, outdoor adventures, and extra quality time. I’m committed to providing dependable, thoughtful care that fits your pet’s routine and helps them feel comfortable while you’re away. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away from their family. I will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and their preferred ways of receiving attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I understand that maintaining their familiar environment and routine is often the most comforting option. I will treat your home with respect and provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, safe environment and tailor their experience to their individual personality. Cats will have a quiet space to settle in and, depending on their comfort level and my availability, can have supervised access to explore and interact. When I’m away, I prioritize safety by providing a secure, comfortable area where they can relax.

About: I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for years. I am experienced with small/medium sized dogs of all ages. I'm very flexible and will do my best to accommodate special requests that are within my skill set. I also like to form long term relationships with pets and their families to ensure consistent care and the best experience for all involved. I am currently available 24/7 for my dog, we like to go to the beach, walks in the woods, naps and daily training exercises. I am flexible to work with your dogs needs and schedules! I'm happy to accommodate to the best of my capabilities the care and routines to which your pets are accustomed. Feeding, walks, meds, certain special care and sleeping arrangements will all be tailored to your pets needs to ensure the least stressful experience for your four legged friends!

“Jesika is great! I can always trust her to be kind to my pets, give them attention and take good care of them! She is mature, responsible and caring. Highly recommended!”

“Justine was fabulous with our cats and we will definitely request her again! Our shyest kitty warmed up in record time. She kept us up to date and was proactive with packages and such. 10/10!”

“I definitely recommend Catey, particularly if your quadrupedal babes tend toward anxiety or need confident medication administration. This is the first sitter I've ever hired who wasn't already familiar with my cats and our home. I was nervous because of my boys needs medicated eye drops every 12 hours, which isn't his favorite thing by far, and he also generally takes a while to get comfortable with new people. Catey's super calm and solid demeanor was evident from the get-go, and this helped my boy a lot. Meds went off without a problem. Everything that needed doing for both cats was done, and my boys were chill as can be when I returned home. Catey was also super communicative and seemed like a solid, kind person in general. I couldn't ask for more from a sitter!”
