About: I grew up in a retirement community, walking dogs for friendly neighbors—it wasn’t just about the steps, it was about connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and personalities (yes, even the occasional rogue ferret). Now, our home buzzes with two lovable goofballs—a Dutch Shepherd and a Rottweiler mix—and I co-trained my wife’s service dogs, so I know firsthand the patience and dedication it takes. My approach? Simple respect. I don’t use force or fear—just calm communication, consistency, and a few strategic belly rubs. Every dog deserves to feel safe and understood; that’s a philosophy I bring to every walk, visit, or boarding stay. Life is unpredictable—work trips, busy schedules, or just needing an extra hand. I offer reliable, judgment-free care for every furry family member, no matter their size or quirks. Trust isn’t earned —it’s built, and I’d love to build that with you. My time is primarily spent taking care of my disabled wife and our son. My schedule revolves around my wifes medical appointments and needs. I'm very good at scheduling and meeting appointments so long as they aren't an immediate request. I have raised dogs from pups to our current senior dog. Staying on top of their health and well-being is important. Dogs have needs and deserve to be treated fair and with consideration.

About: I've had pets in the home since age 1, and have been helping to take care of them since I could walk. I've always loved animals, and began volunteering at animal shelters, walking, bathing, and feeding shelter dogs beginning at age 5. I have worked in the field of veterinary medicine since 2023, and have a working knowledge of many medical and behavioral issues. I am comfortable caring for cats and dogs of any size, administering medications, walking reactive dogs, and more. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, in case of emergencies. I'm currently working from home, with the ability to bring my work on the road, so I have the flexibility to accommodate the needs of each individual fur family! I currently provide services in the client's home only. I will ask for a rundown of of your pet's daily feeding/walking/play schedule, and do my best to make your fur baby feel at ease while under my care with lots of playtime, cuddles and love; and maintaining their usual routine while you're away!

“Thank you Alainnah! She stopped in on my cat during the holidays and took great care of her. She played with her, gave her food and water, cleaned up the litter and was very responsive and communicate. Thank you!!!!!!!”


About: Skilled in puppy training, senior dog care, and administering oral medication. I'd love to engage a playtime with dogs, get some regular exercise time together and provide a stress-free environment to ensure every pup feels safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, ensuring dogs get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, or cuddle time, I prioritize their well-being. I tailor my schedule to fit each pet’s needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they receive regular walks, meals, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or theirs, I offer personalized care, playtime, and companionship to keep pets happy and healthy.

“Samantha was a quick study, efficient, kind, and was able to touch my skittish cat at first meeting! I was so worried but she took my worries away and was so happy to get her reassuring words and pic while I was away. I was also happy to learn Sam is a local which provided even more assurance and even though I live a ways out she was willing to travel to me where others I contacted all said I was out of their area. I really liked her and my kitty Jack did as well, straightforward and got the job done. Thanks Sam, you were a life saver!”


About: Greeting, My name is Helen. I’ve recently completed my contract in the military. During my time in the service I spent time caring for my colleagues dogs (I do love cats, but I’m allergic) and found myself actually branching out to others when they needed someone to watch their babies. I grew up always having a dog in our family, and know how important they are as family members. Their unconditional love is something I’ve always cherished, and it would be my joy and honor to care for your fur babies whenever. My schedule is flexible, and I am available often. It’s really not a hardship spending time with loving pups. I do have experience with pets that have special needs. I look forward to hearing from you and your fur members.

“Hannah clearly has a heart for animals! I had her come over for a "meet and greet" with my pup Luna who can be very timid around new people, but Luna clearly thinks Hannah is okay! We look forward to doing some doggie day care with Hannah in the future :)”


About: I've always been in a household that has had at least one dog growing up in California to my travels here to Oregon 9 years ago where I fell in love with the state and made a home here. I have had goldens and labs, and have taken care of a wide variety of sizes and shapes of pups, from the smallest pup to the sweet yet slobbery Mastiff. I currently have one dog who is my boyfriend's service dog, she is a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that is the calmest dog until you get her football out! Then the play never stops. Since she cannot go to work with him anymore, she would not mind a buddy to play with. We constantly take her for walks and runs and swims. Very dog friendly house I have afternoons open and available and almost every weekend! I love getting out and walking dogs around the neighborhood or taking them to a park I have a fenced in yard for Cammie or any dog to run around, go outside to take care of their needs, or chase a bird or squirrel! The high school field is right down the block that we can go to any time

“Natalie was wonderful. Great communication. Punctual. Our kitties loved having her visit while we were gone for a week. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”


About: I have been caring for my own pets for seven years, as well as helping others with their pets. I have three very well behaved dogs of my own!

I am almost always available in the evening. I provide my pets with the food and water they need, bathe and groom them regularly, go on walks and to the dog park and they are maintained with their vaccinations. I love animals very much so I also give them lots of love!

About: I have been an animal lover since I was born! I grew up on a farm that included all farm animals; mainly horses, dogs, and cats. I’ve had many years of experience with training, and proper pet care! I currently work from home and I have plenty of time throughout the day for pet sitting! I’m available 24/7 I enjoy walks, and nature so I spend a lot of time outside. I have a large fenced yard, fit for animals. We have a loving friendly 7 year old hound dog named Copper. We live in a safe quiet neighborhood close to trails and parks.

About: Hello my name is Brenden, I have have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I am open to caring for any breed of any description and any instructions accompanied with I will be sure to follow with the utmost care. Many friends, family members and neighbors have trusted me with caring for all kinds of breeds from chihuahuas and kittens to Great Danes and Saint Bernards. My schedule is quite flexible as well, I wouldn’t mind doing any chores you may need help with and I am glad to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, I would be happy to answer them. Thank you for your consideration. I currently have a very flexible schedule, though I am unable to board your pet I am more than willing to stay with them while you’re away, go on daily walks, play, and meet any additional needs that your pet may have. I am always very careful in terms of safety and security of the home and during walks, I always maintain an open line of communication for any questions, updates or concerns you may have.

About: I have decades of pet care experience with visits, overnight care, nearly two decades of employed veterinary experience as well as tons of experience with my own pets of course. 😉 I currently have two very silly Australian Shepherds who compete in a variety of events and have earned many titles - many others in the past with even more . I'm well versed in medication administration in cats and dogs (pills, liquids, injectables) as well as wound care and rehabilitation. I have extensive experience and knowledge in nutrition, behavior and reproductive services. I may be available for flight nannying as well depending on days/times. I have extensive puppy development/training as well as senior care experience. Basically, if you need help with something pet related, I can probably help you! Just ask! 💜💚 Currently my time is divided between kiddo and pet activities so I am able to add in caring for other pets as needed. Please let me know what your needs are as I may be able to switch something around to accommodate your pet! 💜 Currently I am not doing care within my own home but I am cautious about disease transmission (ask me about my show protocols!) and safety is above and beyond my concern. For walks outside, dogs are exclusively leashed on no slip collars/leashes to prevent escapees and are setup prior to heading out the door. If transportation is needed, I exclusively utilize crash tested safety harnesses or crash tested kennels. Dogs or cats are never loose with transportation.

About: I have been a lover of animals my entire life. When I was a child I wanted to be a veterinarian and the first chapter book I remember reading was James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small. You would be hard pressed to find a childhood photo of me without a critter of some sort. Also as a weird little kid, I would hold funerals for the flies who had passed on in the window seals (an over abundance of empathy is probably my strongest albeit sometimes annoying trait 😂)! Animals make this world a beautiful place and I promise to show your babies the care and love the deserve. I am available evenings for drop ins and because I work in schools, I am available most holiday breaks for longer periods to care for your pets. I have a sweet Siamese boy at home who unfortunately doesn’t appreciate other animals as much as I do, so I would most likely not be providing care for other pets in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of since I was a kid, from horses, to chickens, to just cats and dogs, I’m comfortable and confident I can provide exemplarily care to your fur babies. I have just started fall term of college. I have all my classes strictly online. I can be very flexible with my availability as long as I’m not needed for more than a few hours at once. If pet sitting, I would be willing to bring my homework to your house if you’d prefer your pet have round the clock care. If pet sitting( in clients home) I would check on your animals regularly making sure they are fed and happy. I would love to hang out with them and give them all the attention they need to put them at ease while there parents are away 💗 For dog walking, I would be willing to exercise your dog as far and frequently as you would like. I love to walk and I would love a furry partner!

Mitzi W.
“In a world where finding reliable pet care can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, we were fortunate to discover Mitzi. As we prepared for a long-awaited vacation, our minds were filled with excitement, but there was also a lingering concern about leaving our four furry companions behind. Who would care for them? Fortunately, our worries were quickly alleviated when we entrusted our dogs and home to Mitzi. From the moment Mitzi stepped through our front door, it was clear that she was more than just a pet sitter; she was a guardian of our beloved fur babies. Her warm demeanor and genuine affection for animals shone through, instantly putting both us and our dogs at ease. It was as if our dogs sensed her kind energy, welcoming her with wagging tails and eager barks. This was the first indication that we had made the right choice. Throughout our vacation, we received regular updates from Mitzi, each message brimming with details about our dogs’ activities and antics. She shared stories of playtime in the backyard, cozy snuggles on the couch, and even the occasional mischief that our dogs managed to get into. Her diligence in keeping us informed not only reassured us but also highlighted her commitment to ensuring that our pets felt loved and secure in our absence. Upon our return, the undeniable bond that had formed between Mitzi and our dogs was evident. They greeted her with unreserved enthusiasm, their joyful barks and playful leaps demonstrating their affection for her. It was heartwarming to witness how our dogs had embraced Mitzi, a true testament to her nurturing spirit and ability to connect with animals. The way they interacted with her spoke volumes; it was clear that they felt safe and cherished in her care. Mitzi’s reliability and dedication extended beyond simply feeding and walking our dogs. She took the time to engage with them, tailoring her approach to meet each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether it was playing fetch with our exuberant Labrador or offering gentle strokes to our shy rescue pup, she showed an admirable understanding of their individual temperaments. This personalized care not only reinforced their trust in her but also ensured that their emotional and physical well-being was prioritized. it is evident that Mitzi is a gem in the realm of pet care. Her diligence, reliability, and heartfelt”
