House Sitting In Pleasant Valley

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.

“Deanna was a fantastic pet sitter. She went above and beyond to ensure not only our pets, but also our home, were taken care of. We will absolutely work with her again!”

“Simply, Adeline was a perfect pet sitter in pur home. Our little dog is 16 years old and doesn't hear. He also was highly traumatized before we adopted him, so new people make him very agitated. deline was amazing with him. She was kind enough to agree to a pre vacation meetup before our holiday. She listened to our concerns and clearly treated him well. By the time we came home a week later, she was his bestie. Adeline sent us photos periodically with updates and seemed to really care about them, offering to sit for us again in the future. We're so grateful to Adeline for her patience and care; she made it possible for me to relax on vacation knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Adeline!”

“Angela took such good care of both my anxious little dogs during a weekend away! I loved all the cute updates and the dogs had a great weekend. 🙂”

“Michelle was great with our Australian shepherd! She was able to win him over and they had a lovely time. Our house was clean and as we left it for her. I highly recommend her!”

“Donna was incredible. Our prior dog sitter canceled last minute and Donna was quick with communication and available. She was by far the most organized house/dog sitter that I have ever had. She was great with communication, sending many pictures, and took my dog, Siena, on multiple walks. She went above and beyond and washed the sheets/towels and left the house spotless, without any asking/request to do so. Our dog was very happy when we returned, much so to our prior experiences leaving.”

About: With 5 cats & 2 dogs of my own, all ranging in age, personality, and care needs, I know how to meet an animal where they’re at. Meeting my animals with love and respect has resulted in a relationship built on unshakeable trust that can easily be recreated with your pet any time it’s needed! I love working with all kinds of animals and getting to know them for their personality and quirks. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have more than enough time to hangout with and take care of your animals! Given enough time and notice, any time will work for me! Whatever schedule or necessities your animal needs I’m able to recreate with proper instructions. My animals are used to a schedule so I have no issues following one, whatever works for you will work for me!

“Claire took great care of our two new little kittens when we spent a weekend away. We really appreciated her help all weekend, and knew after meeting her that the kitties were going to be in good hands. We would love to have Claire and her kiddo help out again in the future when the need arises!”

“Rosanna was absolutely amazing to work with. I had a lot of anxiety leaving Bella alone but Rosanna provided updates every check in. She was an absolute joy to work with and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Melinda watched my dogs for a 10 day trip after another sitter cancelled. Dogs were happy and calm when I returned home and house was well kept. Thanks so much Melinda!!”

“Jason was a wonderful dog and house sitter! We received pictures and videos regularly, which were very appreciated while we were traveling. We trusted Hazel was in good hands and the house was, too! We’d definitely have Jason watch Hazel again.”

“Tayler was amazing! Both of my boys warmed right up to her. She sent video and photo updates every day, sometimes more than once a day. I appreciated knowing my dogs were comfortable around her and were well taken care of. I’d definitely book with Tayler again in the future and would definitely recommend her to others as well.”

“Heather is perhaps the most attentive sitter that we have had for Lily. I appreciate how often she gets her out of the house to be able to run around on the property to get some exercise. It’s great that she gets as much playtime as she did especially on good days. The place was kept clean. Heather did have to leave for a few hours every day which she had asked permission in advance and that worked out just fine. Her communication was excellent and I always appreciate getting updates and pictures of Lily. I would have no problem recommending Heather to sit your pet.”

About: I provide calm, attentive care shaped around each dog’s temperament, routine, and energy level. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who benefit from extra movement and outdoor time, whether that means neighborhood walks, time at Sellwood Riverfront, Elk Rock hikes, Mt. Tabor, or any of your dog’s favorite spots. I also have experience with dogs who enjoy water play and understand how to balance activity with safety, pacing, and comfort. My goal is to offer a grounded, dependable presence so pets feel secure, engaged, and well cared for while their people are away. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care, including regular walks, outdoor time, and structured activity for dogs who benefit from a steady, active routine. Grounded, attentive care in SE Portland’s most walkable neighborhoods—Sellwood, Woodstock, Inner SE, and along the MAX Orange Line. Each day includes regular walks, outdoor time, and activity suited to your dog’s energy level, along with calm time to rest. I aim for a balanced routine that keeps dogs engaged, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Matt was an excellent pet sitter. He was extremely easy to work with and took great care of our house and pets while we were away. He was always quick to respond, and I feel he went above and beyond to ensure we came home to a well-kept home and pets.”

About: I’ve had my fair share of petsitting and dog walking and I enjoyed it a lot. I also have had pets that I have cared for. I have a very flexible schedule since I am currently unemployed and not going to school. I am open most days and times as well as some weekends. I have had many pets and have loved and cared for them. Currently I have a dog that I care for. I hope to take care of your pets as well.

“Momo is amazing! She took such great care of Anouk and Klaus— treating them to long walks and lots of attention. Staying on a routine is the best things for my pups, and Momo honored that and more! She’s also a great communicator which gave us extra peace of mind while we were both traveling. I HIGHLY recommend Momo!”
