“Kayla is so responsive and we really appreciate her communication style. She asks thoughtful questions to ensure our dogs have what they need! We’re looking forward to continuing to work with her.”


About: I have worked with dogs since elementary school, when I started a dog walking business in my neighborhood to pay for summer camp. Friends, family members, and neighbors, have relied on me to do tasks as simple as stop in and feed their pets, to staying with their furry friends for extended periods of time. I have also grown up with Great Danes so I know how to handle extra large dogs! I am a college student who is off for summer break, so my schedule is completely open to care for your pets, whether thats a walk a few times a week or staying over at the house for a period of time. I don't offer boarding services since I rent the space I am living in and it does not allow pets. However, when it comes to services provided in the home of the pet, I will follow any directions that are given to me to my greatest ability!

“Katrine has been amazing with our 6-month old border collie puppy. Katrine comes by in the afternoon of our workdays and takes Banyan on hikes or other fun outings. She always plays with her, takes great photos of their adventures, and is very communicative. Best of all, Banyan is a much calmer and happier girl when I get home from work - I even have time to unpack my bag and decompress from the day before having to take her on her evening walk ( normally Banyan is a mad woman when I come home - so full of energy!) Katrine also asks questions that make it clear she’s being so considerate of our dog’s needs and very respectful of our home. Would highly recommend Katrine, she’s a great resource and we’ll be using her all summer.”


“She did a wonderful job taking care of my dog when I was on a trip! She was great at communicating with me, and was always looking out for my dogs needs. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone who goes above and beyond in their care, and has a love of animals!”


“Emily is so great with our dogs and was recently so patient with us too when we made her life harder by misplacing the hidden key! She went and picked up another key from a friend and was able to care for our dogs. She went above and beyond for us and we couldn’t be more grateful!!”


“Lindsey was spot-on each visit and made us happy to see all the photos from each trip. She communicated with details and helped us modify our dates. Thanks for letting us book last minute and for being so sweet to our kitties!”


About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have professionally worked as a house/pet sitter for 3 years but I have cared for my own for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of dogs, cats, and many livestock. I have trained many of my puppies so I can handle them and have cared for many senior animals having to give them special diets and medications. My mom is a CVT and I have worked for a vet so I can handle and/or know when to call in bad situations. I will be starting school in September so I will have time between classes to care for pets. I will always make time or stay longer if a pet needs that. I make sure all animals are feeling safe wherever they may be. I make sure energetic animals get played with, shy dogs get there space, and older more lethargic dogs get there rest. I change my care based on the animal and always give them the care and love they need.

“Kati went above and beyond in taking care of our two kitties! She was extremely communicative, helpful, and really went above what we expected from a pet sitter. When one of the nights we were gone was much colder than expected, Kati drove back to our house to turn the heat on for our cats so that they would be comfortable. We came home to a clean house and happy cats. We'll definitely be booking Kati again, if she's available when we next go out of town. A+ service!”


About: I’ve cared for a range of dog and cat breeds for a long time. I’ve assisted elderly pets by allowing more frequent bathroom breaks and administering medication. I’m currently part time but have a flexible schedule! I’m available any time or day of the week for your personnel pet needs. I can work with most times. Safety and comfort are the most important thing for your pet’s care. I follow the pet’s routine for feeding, playing and walking to bring ease to the animal.

About: I have lived with cats and dogs my whole life, and throughout my life I have learned the essentials to a happy and healthy pet. I have also contributed by volunteering to help walk dogs and transport cats. I am a full time student with a part time job. I am a pretty busy person but will always have time or make time dedicated to taking care of my cats and other pets. I will take the necessary steps to take care of your pet in your home, whether that is checking in and feeding them or staying with them.

About: As a former National Park Service employee of ten years I’m basically hardwired to love the outdoors and animals, and spending time with animals in the outdoors! I’ve pet sit cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and abilities for friends, family, and coworkers. Having had both very old and anxious dogs, I’m familiar with the patience, attentiveness, and consistency needed to watch high needs pets and will always adapt my care to guarantee their comfort. As both a college student and an exercise enthusiast, I can fit the care of your pet seamlessly in with my everyday life - be it cuddling on the couch, hanging out in a shared space, throwing a ball, or going for hikes or light runs. When outdoors I always carry extra water and a dog bowl, and am closely tuned in to the needs of your pet to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having a great time. As a full-time college student I have very flexible availability, especially in the early morning, afternoons, and evening. This means I can check in often, and dedicate the best/coolest time of day to walks. As someone who grew up with hyper active and intelligent dogs, I understand that the anxiety that comes with human-pet separation is a two way street. To make sure both you and your pets have peace of mind, I will do my best to gather all necessary information from you about your pets needs, routines, preferences, behaviors, training level (judgement free - training is hard and dogs have a mind of their own), and physical capabilities. I will take notes during our conversation, closely follow all directions, and send you as many pet pics as you need!

About: I've grown up around lots of animals. I also have my own pet now, the cutest of dogs. I look forward to meeting your pets. I currently work part time and I plan to be doing college full time this fall. I'll be as flexible as I possibly can be. I'll take your pet for walks or provide whatever care of it that you would like. Walks, feeding, playtime, or anything else it may need.

“Jaelyn is such a delight and one who is quick to reply to a booking or any of our conversations, sends beautiful pictures of how well & happy London is, & a relief to know we have a responsible young lady in our home! Thank you Jaelyn!”


About: I have been taking care of animals of all kinds for over 10 years for friends and family and I think this service is a great outlet for both me and you. Available 7 days a week. Let’s work together to help both you and your furry family and I will strive to give the support and help wherever it is needed. I can easily stay at residence full time if needed for your pet if needed. Provide multiple daily check-ins depending on my current scheduled clients. Walks, simply play time, feeding, potty breaks, and check ins.

About: I have had pets, including dogs, cats, and rats, since I was 3 years old. I am a wildlife biologist by training, so I have experience caring for all sorts of animals. I have experience taking care of both my own and others' senior pets. I also have an adorable kitty of my own. I am available most evenings and weekends to take care of your pets. I am working a flexible hybrid in-office/telework schedule, so I have flexibility to care for your pets during the work day. I am happy to take care of your fur baby in your own home. I have my own transportation to get to your home, and in the very rare case of emergency to transport your pet to a vet. I interact with animals in a very calm manner as they get to know me.

“Emily was great. My cat can be timid and take awhile to warm up to strangers and Emily was extremely patient with her and ended up getting her to come out to play. We came home to a happy, healthy cat. She kept me updated and was very easy to keep in contact with. Will definitely use her again and would recommend!”


About: Hey I’m Xander ! I’ve taken care of a variety of animals all my life, including 5 dogs, 3 cats, some frogs and some lizards . I love all animals and spending time with them. I’m currently in school at OSU, so I might be limited by some class times. I am very flexible though, and am free most afternoons, some mornings , and nights. I don’t have any animals here in Oregon besides a frog who I take very good care of. I won’t be able to provide boarding in my home.

About: I have had pets in my life ever since I could remember and have a very broad experience. I have had dogs, chickens, lizards, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, cats, rabbits, frogs and much more under my care. I love animals and make sure all of mine get proper habitats, care, and attention. I currently work 2-3 days a week very early in the morning and not very many hours, I would like a job to fill up all my free time as well as to meet cute little animals! All of my animals and animals I take care of get plenty of attention and love. I make sure everyone eats well and gets proper play time!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and taking care of them just comes naturally to me. Whether it’s a playful puppy that needs lots of attention and basic training, or a senior pet that moves a little slower and needs some extra TLC, I’m here for it. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and a lot of belly rubs. I pay close attention to their behavior and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time so I have time to watch your pet over the weekends and am able to check on them before working and for much longer afterwards! I have a big property with lots of space to run and a fence against the road near my house. I have a very friendly dog who loves to play and I have space for a kennel if needed.

Ethan K.
“Ethan is great with animals and genuinely loves being around them. Before he left for college, he helped take care of both my dogs and cat over the years, feeding them, playing with them, taking the dogs for walks (and even the cat in a cat backpack!), and cleaning up after them. He’s super responsible and has even pet-sat at my house a few times when I was away. He’s also helped out with my elderly father’s dog when needed and used to volunteer at a cat shelter in Seattle, picking up rescue cats and kittens from the airport and getting them safely to the shelter. Even now, he’s the kind of person who leaves food out for the neighborhood feral cats and makes sure they have a warm spot when it’s cold out and a cool spot when it’s hot. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly cares about animals, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ethan.”
