About: i was raised around dogs my entire life. i have a pup who is 3 years old who is like my baby. i know what it is like to have an animal that you love like a child & i want to help others out by treating their dogs like they’re family (: i am a stay at home mama at the moment. i have 3 years of experience working at a dog boarding and grooming shop as a kennel assistant 🤍 i have 2 fenced yards that are big enough for the doggos to run around in. there are many toys at my house for the dogs to play with and even have 2 friendly dogs for the pups to play with as well. my puppy is pretty active and wants to play constantly, she loves the comfort of another animal.

About: Before living alone, I enjoyed decades of loving and caring for my own dogs and cats, though their long, healthy lives. Through that I became familiar with medicating, training and creating happy lives for those lovable souls. I've hosted my neighbor's small older dog Marty for a week or long weekends. I often assist my friend (a Star Sitter!) with walks and general attention/care when visiting them. My son's cats and hedgehog are happy to stay with me when they travel. My work is part-time, and I'm typically a home-body. My work is generally open to distraction, the sort that I expect to encounter with pets, and the break from work routine is very welcome to me. I'm able and willing to let your pet wander my home and fenced back yard. As they like, I enjoy providing affection and head, back, belly rubs and scruffs. I'm happy to tune my hours to meet a unique feeding or meds schedule. If its suggested and allowed I'm also good to offer reasonably timed treats, and of course daily walks in my quiet neighborhood - a dog-friendly area adjacent to a green trail.

“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals from before I was born. I grew up on a farm on Kauai, Hawaii. I worked as a veterinary assistant for nearly 10 years, volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind as a foster home, and I am always helping my friends and family with pet sitting and minor grooming(nail trims and baths). I'm starting this as a part-time job because it fits my schedule. I'm usually available for dog walking Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:30am and 3:30pm. I am currently petless. Our beloved kitty(15 years old) passed last year and our family is not ready for another pet at the moment. I am happy to come to your house to take your dog for a walk in a neighborhood they are comfortable with, I often walk at Powell Butte, around my own neighborhood, and Salish ponds in Gresham. I'm happy to discuss other walks with you and anything else you'd like to know.

“Elena has been great! Very flexible and great communicator! My dogs have been in great hands. I will continue to book Elena for my dog walking needs :)”

“Anna has taken great care of my adolescent dog. Penny is still figuring out the transition from puppy to dog and can still be pretty nervous at times, but Anna has taken great care of her whether it is walks or play in the dog park or at home. I definitely recommend Anna! Penny is an angel too 🐶”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs in my house my whole life. I have assisted in entertaining and taking care of them as well as pet sitting for family and friends on occasion. I am currently working part time, but mostly just in the weekends. I am mostly available during the week days which gives me a very flexible schedule. I take care of basic duties such as feeding and walking my animals. I also like to engage and play with them throughout the day.

“So caring and accommodating! Thank you for your help with a loved senior dog.”

“Cooper is always so happy to see Bridgette. He gives a little squel when he sees her coming up the sidewalk. Then, as I close the door, I see him turn to her for a face to face hello and petting. He loves his walks, but he obviously enjoys his personal connection with Bridgette, too. Warms my heart every time!”

About: All around animal lover - I’ve owned 5 medium/big dogs, 4 cats, a tortoise, a Guinea pig, frogs, and fish. I’d love to meet your pets, and pet, exercise, play with, or try to train them! I’ve trained my cat and three of my own puppies. I just decided to take a break from my career to focus on pet and child care, so I’m flexible on time. I can move most of my commitments around Rover jobs. I always make sure I come into a house quickly and carefully so pets don’t dash out the door. I never bring over food. I start out very calm and quiet to gain your pet’s trust - preferably using treats if available.

About: One of my passions in life is pets and caring for them. As a graduate from Carrington College in veterinary assisting I learned valuable skills such as understanding animal behavior, CPR, nail trims and administering medications. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hampsters, lizards, fish, frogs and feel comfortable with nearly any type of pet. What I bring to pet care is a strong connection to animals, I feel a sense of responsibility and need to care for them and be their new best friend. I will always talk to pets & their owners when I see them on a bus, walking down the street, or in an outside restaurant. I am vegan, as I feel that all animals should be treated well. I do not impose my views on anyone but am happy to talk about it and offer advice if asked. OUTSIDE REVIEWS Heather took care of my young and active miniature Australian Labradoodle Maggie for 3 nights. She stayed at my home and did an amazing job. I came home to a calm and happy dog and my house was just as I left it . Maggie loved her and she loved Maggie. I felt 100 % confident that she was in good hands. She has experience with animals, loves them and has even had vet tech training in the past. Previously, when I left Maggie with a sitter for 3 days she didn’t eat and lost a pound, but with Heather she was just as I left her. I was delighted. Heather gets 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 🌟 I am free just about any time and duration, and can go anywhere that Tri-Met can take me if it's an hour or less travel time. I will take your dog to a park if it's within walking distance, or walk around the neighborhood, or play/run around in the yard or house as well.

About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.

“Makenzie is a really attentive walker and I really appreciate all she’s done for Toast. I will definitely be booking her to walk Toast again soon.”

About: Growing up in a zoo of foster-fails, I have spent many years caring for and learning about cats, dogs, all sorts of parrots, chickens, and reptiles. I’ve been traveling throughout Oregon to provide pet care for family & close friends for 5 years now, and am now seeking new clients in Portland! I spend my evenings and weekends working flexibly from home, and I can provide drop-ins and walks at any time on weekends or week days. I care for pets in my clients homes by communicating with their people about their specific temperaments and needs, being very attentive and letting them become comfortable with me. From energetic babies to subdued seniors, I will meet your pets where they’re at!
