Sarah took care of Ginger for a week. She not only exceeded my expectations, Ginger was very happy too. Ginger was not as excited to see me as much as she usually does since she adapted so well to Sarah. I plan to use Sarah again.

Alison is fantastic! My dog Porter had such a great time with her. Her communication, willingness to run/exercise with Porter, and her flexibility was wonderful. Such a relief to know that my dog is comfortable and enjoying himself hanging out with Alison as much as I enjoyed my vacation! Highly recommend!

Elizabeth was a wonderful caretaker for my dog while I was away for 5 days. She is clearly intuitive and knowledgeable about dogs. She knew how to keep him calm and comfortable, and made sure he got plenty of exercise every day! He came home a happy and tired pup. I would definitely book her again!

We would highly recommend Andrew as a pet sitter. He communicates, is on time and treats our pup as his own. Hoppy is beyond happy to see him and is relaxed and not anxious when he arrives back home. We recently used Andrew for a long (2 week) unexpected boarding and could not be happier with his care of our little angel and his communication throughout. We will absolutely be using Andrew's services going forward.

My names Chris and I’ve known Jesse ever since my earliest childhood memories. He is a great friend and has always had a passion and a love for dogs. His parents have 2 German Shepards that he takes care of most of time along with his own dog. I’ve had American bull terrier’s my entire adult life and when ever Jesse was around he showed them love and leadership . Many times he watched , walked and took care of my many beloved dogs over the years whenever I went away for a night or a weekend and couldn’t take them with me . He is always willing and does a tremendous job with the and my dogs especially my females are very challenging with there high energy and loving nature. I trust him with my life and my dogs .

David has watched my 15 yo pug Pearl twice now and I am so pleased with his care. Pearl has a hard time walking on shiny surfaces now so he and his GF put down yoga mats, bath mats and towels so she could easily follow them from room to room. Well worth the money and thank you David!!

Jessica was great! Monty obviously was well cared for and had lots of love and attention. Jessica was super quick getting back to us with any communications. She was friendly, easy-going, and flexible about making arrangements. Her location is on the Peninsula in Portland so very convenient if that's where you're located. So glad she was there to take care of our mutt. ;p)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since I was a teenager. I love getting outside with them and know that a well walked and properly stimulated dog is also a happy and well behaved dog. I also love taking pictures of them so you can be sure to receive regular updates on your pal. Depending on your dogs diet, I love to get creative with things like meal toppers and stimulating treats (shaved carrots, peanut butter, unsalted bone broth etc.)! I work from home so pet sitting allows me to have a buddy for my walks and be attentive to the dog in my care :) For boarding, your dog will have a designated open area for their bed/crate where they can hang. Pets are welcome on furniture, but I’m happy to abide by whatever rules you have at home for consistency.

Barbara is top notch! She proved to be reliable by showing up for pick up 10 minutes early and dropping Pepper off even at a later hour as we requested. We spent about 10 minutes to give Pepper & Barbara a chance to feel each other out. I could tell pepper immediately felt safe and comfortable with her. Barbara was open to learning about all Pepper’s quirks, routines, and behaviors. Most definitely Barbara has become Pepper’s go to sitter!

We couldn’t have had a better experience with Kathleen B. She welcomed our dog into her family for the weekend and cared for him like he was her own. I highly recommend Kathleen B. I look forward to having her watch our dog again in the future.

Kate is a gentle and caring person, and was very easy to communicate with. I felt good about leaving my dog Otto with her. He's a difficult animal, but she got along with him just fine. I look forwards to future visits with her, and highly recommend her.

Alexander was so great to our older dog and treated her with a lot of kindness and care. It was obvious to me that Alexander knows what he is doing and he really likes the dogs he takes care of.
