4. Laura T.


“Laura took such great care of my Wally! In every photo she sent, I could see the love in his eyes. It's such a comfort to be away and not have to worry about Wally.”


5. Bryan G.

“Amazing sitter!! Bryan watched my house and dog for 8 days while I was out of town and he made sure I felt at ease the whole time. I got plenty of updates and videos, and my dog Nyla looked like she was having a great time with her new buddy. My flight coming home got cancelled due to weather and he was even very flexible with last minute updates to the reservation to help make sure Nyla was still ok. The house was actually left possibly cleaner than how it started, and he followed all the directions given to him, so I’m really hoping to be able to book him again in the future because he’s really everything you could hope for in a house sitter.”


6. Kinsey S.

“Kinsey was great! She took great care of our kitty while we were gone for 5 nights, and kept our place clean as well! Her communication throughout the week was great, and she went above and beyond with playing and cuddling with our cat. Absolutely would recommend!”

8. MacKenzie M.

“We were blessed enough to find Mack for our first-ever sitter for our 8 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback Kingsley. I felt 100% confident in Mack to keep Kingsley safe, happy and healthy while I was gone. He went above and beyond to create a strong bond with my dog which meant the world to me, an over-worrying mom. I would recommend Mack to anyone looking to travel and leave their pet at home, especially bigger dogs or shy dogs. Thank you Mack!!!”

18. Elizabeth H.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Elizabeth! She really went above and beyond for Erwin. My guy hasn’t been feeling the greatest, and she was so attentive to his every need. She was super communicative, sent lots of photos, and even made sure I had videos so that I could monitor him from afar. I’m so sad that we’re moving away from Portland because I don’t think I’ll find someone as awesome as she is. I definitely recommend her! Thank you again, Elizabeth!”


19. Shelly G.

“Shelly was an absolutely fantastic sitter during a 9 day stay with our reactive dog! She not only gained our dog’s trust quickly, but ours too. It was such a relief to have someone who understood and was empathetic to all of our quirky routines to help make our dog happier and more calm. Shelly was communicative, attentive, checked in daily with adorable photos, and left our place clean and tidy. We can’t wait to have Shelly stay with our girl, Lily, again.”


20. Olivia M.
“I have been so lucky to have Liv watch all 3 of my pets while I’m away. They have spent extra time with them and made sure to give them the extra TLC they need while I am away. They really do go above and beyond. We are lucky to know our fur babies are in great hands when we are gone. Thanks Liv.”
