Amazing as expected with Shannon. She came on time, followed instructions, and our puppy was sound asleep when we returned. Shannon provides updates and pictures during her stay. She is polite and communicative. We would continue to hire Shannon for pet sitting our little guy! Thanks Shannon!

About: I have experience with my own dogs. One weighed 75lbs and my current dog weighs 140lbs! I have raised both since puppies. I am a huge dog lover and know how to properly approach new dogs! With school and work I find time to come and see my dog and make sure he is loved and feels fulfilled in his daily routine! I am able to feed dogs to their schedules and make sure they are enriched on any toy or exercise we do. Pets deserve the best care possible!

If you are looking for an experienced, friendly, responsible dog sitter (and house sitter) Kamden is must book! My wife and I were in need of a new dog sitter for a Vegas trip and Kamden came over met us and our 2 husky girls. He was very accommodating to our needs for both our girls. Easy to work with a great demeanor. All our instructions were carried out perfectly and our house was in order. Please consider Kamden as your first choice!

About: Hi! I am a huge dog lover. I’ve had dogs all my life since I was born. I have had three German Shepherds growing up and now I have a border collie/retriever/lab mix (7) another shepherd (2) who loves playing with other dogs! I would love to take care of your dog while you need whether it be for a few hours-5 days. I love taking my dog to the dog park to run around and socialize and would love to take yours too. I love to cuddle and pet dogs ALL day so if your dog is one that loves that we will be perfect together!! If not, I can give your pet their space! I hope to meet your loved one soon and be able to play with your loving pet! *RATES ARE ON A SIZE/AGE/DAYS/AMOUNT OF DOGS BASIS :)* Not applicable, based on personal experience, preferences and individual needs, since every dog and family is different!

Bradey was excellent. She provided excellent care for our two dogs plus provided extremely daily detailed feedback and pictures. She left the home in super condition by also detailing the house. Soooooo Happy to have found her. We will be using her again! Koa was very well cared for as well as Scout. Thank You Bradey.

I can't tell you how lucky we were to find Erika. She took amazing care of our 9-year-old rescue pit mix Larry AND our home for 2 full weeks. Our house was immaculate upon returning and Larry was happy as can be. She communicated well throughout. I must tell you - we have never been as impressed and happy with a dog sitter as we were with Erika. She is a gem!!! I am also happy to be a reference if you are looking to book with her. Thank you Erika!!!!!

Elowyn is an extremely reliable and trustworthy person. She always puts the needs of the animals in her care first, without hesitation. She ensures that all animals are happy, healthy, and well exercised when she is caring for them. I own a pet care business that Elowyn worked for during her time in OR, and we all hated to see her go, she was an absolute asset in every way. Your fur babies will absolutely adore their time with Elowyn! Danica Lyon Owner Sellwood-Moreland Dog Walking

Shayna was so great with my dog. He has really bad separation anxiety and Shayna stayed all day with him and he loved her. He was able to relax and feel comfortable with her which put our minds at ease while we were gone. So glad we found someone to help us when we need to leave.

Kajsa has been nothing but amazing to our senior dog (17 years old) and super accommodating to our busy schedules. She took the time to not only get to know our dog, but to also to get to know us as pet parents. Kajsa is super loving to our dog and very attentive to his needs as a senior pup. We are so thankful that Kajsa has been able to help us with Ubie and Ubie is very happy that Kajsa came into his life.

Shannon is among the best pet sitters out there. Attentive, kind, communicative, flexible, and intuitive to your animal's needs. A story where he went above and beyond really stands out to me. I was out of town and he noticed my cat acting lethargic. Turns out, he had vomited in a hidden spot and was not using the litter box. He went out of his way to take him to the emergency vet on my behalf to have emergency surgery for an intestinal blockage. I can't imagine what I would have done if my pet sitter was not paying such close attention. If he had gone there to just put the food down and leave, my cat may not be here any more. Every other regular visit has gone so smoothly and amazingly. Thank you, Danny!

Cinthia has taken care of my pug, Igor for 2 and a half years now. She taught him many tricks and most importantly showed him discipline and how to behave on walks.She has really helped me raise him.
