About: I grew up in a home surrounded by a variety of pets, taking on the role of primary caregiver even as a child. This experience has provided me with valuable skills in caring for my own pets as well as those of friends. Over the past three years, I have turned my love for pet-sitting into a rewarding side job. Since I currently don’t have any pets of my own, my time spent with your pets becomes even more special. I work-from-home with a very flexible schedule! During the week, I’m all about taking your pup on epic walks or having cozy cuddle sessions with your kitty. Plus, many of my weekends are a pet party waiting to happen! My home is ideally designed for pet sitting. It features a clean and tidy environment with plenty of cozy spots for pets to relax. Additionally, large windows allow animals to gaze outside, and I am conveniently located near parks and green areas for enjoyable walks. I am also available to provide pet sitting services in your home if that is your preference.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare & boarding facility for 2 years and as a vet tech for half a year. Because of this I have experience with many different pet care tasks, such as handling pet medication, following specific care instructions, and handling various pet temperaments. Im comfortable taking care of several cats and dogs at a time. I currently have a kitty named Jojo and a snake named Linguine that I care for every day. I have trained my kitty to walk on a leash, so we go for daily walks every day and go hiking on the weekends. I care for animals mainly in the client's home and visit multiple times a day to check in on the animals, spend time with them, feed them, and give them meds. I can also handle one or two pets in my home, but they will need to get along with cats. I send multiple photo updates a day, so you can have the peace of mind that your pets are okay and having a great time.
About: Hi! I’m Gage—a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets, I’ve done it all. My own furry family includes Greta, a friendly 3-year-old Shar Pei, and Phil, my laid-back cat. I currently work from home, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available every day of the week, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. I live in Portland’s Pearl District, right above Fields Park. This is where I typically take dogs for walks—unless you have another preferred spot! Fields Park offers plenty of green space, safe walking paths, and a fully fenced-in dog park for off-leash fun and exercise.
About: I was raised on a large property and we cared for several different animals in our company. I love caring for dogs and cats, I'll run with any dog and I love to interact with cats while reading and during feeding time for extra treats. I love animals very much, and have always pet-sat growing up. For dogs, I love to run; I trained in the military and always enjoyed a good run during my exercise. It's kept me fit and ready to make any furry friend work out that extra energy! For cats, despite my love of exercise and running, I enjoy the calm and make myself a great quiet friend for cats to bond with. I pay mind to litter, tracking, and popular cat hides to check on the finer details our feline friends need, since they talk to us a lot less than dogs! I am currently studying for Nursing and Nutrition and going back to college. Hoping to have this help out the part time I can work while I focus on life! I clean, scan, and prepare the proper food and keep to a schedule especially for cats. I have a cat with special care needs and always stressed finding her a sitter when I was away. So I want to offer my customers the peace of mind they deserve knowing their furry companion is cared for.

Constant making sure of no mats in the cat, everything well fed, etc etc. I would absolutely trust him with my pet as I have many times in the past”
Lizzie T.

I would recommend Gabriela for anyone’s pet needs! But especially for someone with a very active dog. Gabriela always brings our dog on long walk and they enjoy time at the park together. She is also very reliable and you can tell that she generally cares for our dog.
Danny is wonderful with my dog. I was out of the country and felt comfortable knowing that my dog was in good hands. Sadly (for me) he is moving away but he will make other pet owners very happy in his new city. Reiji will miss you!
Celeste was so wonderful with my baby boy. He’s only 12 weeks and she was so sweet, attentive, and patient. She went over and above to show him love during his walk time. I am so grateful for her, will be hiring her again, and recommend her to anyone who needs pet care!!
James was wonderful to work with! First, his response time was quick which made for easy communication. James asked many question about Huey prior to taking care of him to ensure that everything would be the right fit during Huey’s visit. He went above and beyond by taking him to the local dog park and running with him during walks (Huey is an active young puppy so he needed the stimulation!). Moreover, James sent photos and updates throughout the day which really brought me a sense of security. Overall, I would highly recommend James as a sitter/walker. His knowledge and experience with dogs really shows in his care and devotion to your pet!
Jillian is the best! Always on time, so kind, and is great with my pup. My dog doesn’t tend to like other people very much but has been so eager and happy with Jillian!
Shenika is amazing with our rescue pup (who is reactive on the leash, so walking her can be a challenge). Not only is she completely reliable and very knowledgeable, she loves our dog as much as we do. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Sarah was incredibly punctual and took great care of my dog. The updates and photos were really well done. I would certainly have her watch my dogs any time!
Was in Portland for a weekend and needed someone to take our pups out when we did a day on the coast. Sarah came to us for a meet & greet and right away we felt super comfortable with her. I know the dogs were in good hands! Thank you Sarah!
3yrs on/off with Matt. Best ever! Attentive, reliable, kind.Grateful for his care of my THREE Mini Aussies. One very senior, one with behavioral issues,and the other just a talker. Gives each of them individual attention and gets to know them. Great walks,gives meds,does drop in, house sitting..Truely the best pet sitter!!!
Jeri is so great with my dog! She is super attentive and caring and truly cares for my dog. She always makes sure my pup is well taken care of and is very proactive for eg refilling water bowls, turning the fan on when it’s too hot. She also leaves detailed notes on rover card on how the walk went and takes photos which is always appreciated esp when I’m missing my pup from afar!
We're so thankful for the last minute pickup for walking Pepper. Very communicative and friendly. Will book again!
Audrey was able to help with short notice and was so good about communicating with us about how each walk went.
Megan is the best. She has been one of our go tos the last couple months with dog walking and house sitting. She is quick to reply and does a great job communicating. She is so thoughtful and always goes above and beyond whether it is bringing in packages, taking out the trash or helping clean up puppy accidents. We so appreciate, Megan!
Allyson is so wonderful! She is incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible, and reliable. She really takes into account the needs of the pet’s owner and the pet. She also sends me pictures of my dog while I’m at work, which I look forward to everytime! 10/10 recommend!
