“Scott provided excellent care for our two dogs, two chickens, and our home. He provided clear and timely communication. We felt like we left everything in goods hand when we were away. Thank you Scott!”

“Catherine helped us leave worry behind on our long weekend trip. I appreciated Catherine's quick communication, cute update pics, and enthusiastic care. My biggest hope for a dog sitter is that they feel a connection and build trust with our sometimes timid dog, and I think Catherine really took the time and effort to do just that. We are looking forward to next time!”

“Chardonay was fantastic and our dog Harley absolutely loved them! We already set up another sit, so we highly recommend working with her. Harley has some specifically reactivity needs, and we felt at ease with Chardonay watching her. She kept us updated and sent lots of dog pics throughout the sit too.”

“I had such a great experience with Raven! She took amazing care of my schnoodle during an overnight stay. She was very attentive, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made sure he got plenty of walks and kept me updated with lots of photos, which I really appreciated. Communication was easy and responsive from start to finish, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely hire her again next time without hesitation!”

“Second time having Déy stay with my shy senior cat Norman! I appreciate their patient approach with him and excellent care of my home, as well as being in daily communication with me. Recommended!”

“William has a very calm, patient energy that put our anxious little dog at ease almost immediately. He was very communicative before and throughout the dogsitting stay, and we were so happy knowing that our pet was comfortable snuggling with him at home. Thank you!!”

“Michael was fantastic. He was open to meeting on short notice and saved the day when our original sitter fell through. He's a real pro and was so attentive to our pups. We'd absolutely book him again.”

“We love Ursula! (So does our dog!) She is an excellent communicator, very attentive to detail and our dog's needs, and very considerate. She left our house in better shape than she found it. She sends multiple pictures and updates throughout the day if you want them, which I did. We're very pleased and will be working with her again. Thank you!”

“River was great! Very communicative and happy to send pictures/updates throughout. She generously accommodated some scheduling snafus between us, and additionally was happy to come meet him before the trip to ease into things. Importantly, she was happy to ask questions as needed. Our dog requires patience and exhibits some odd (charming) traits, and she was happy to learn how to accommodate a dog like that and get to know and meet his needs. While our dog was happy to see us, he wasn't overly relieved we were back, either :)”

“Shannon was a great pet sitter for our mini Aussie. Our pup warmed up to her very quickly and looked like she was having fun in all the photos we received while away. Came home to a clean home and happy dog! Would definitely book Shannon again the next time we travel.”

“After another sitter bailed on us, Kai came to our rescue!! Kai followed all of our instructions without any problems, seemed super patient with our silly frenchie and his antics and left our place nice and clean! Thank you so much Kai for all of your help!!”

“Jasper is attentive, positive, caring, and fun! Appreciate the questions Jasper asked in our first meet and greet-they really captured everything. Our dog, Fennel, loves Jasper. We received just the right amount of updates from them. We would highly recommend Jasper as a pet sitter!”

“Kirby stayed with our dog and cat for six nights and followed special diet instructions for our dog, which we appreciated. Both pets seemed well cared for when we returned home, and our home was left spotless!”

“Stix did amazing with our crew! She provided many pictures and daily updates. Everything was perfect when we got back and she went above and beyond expectations. I'll definitely be booking her for future vacations!”

“Aaron was a fantastic cat sitter. He gave my asthmatic cat, Tiger, her inhaler like an absolute pro, sent wonderful photo updates the whole time, and was incredibly conscientious. He left the house spotless, and somehow even won over my very shy kitty, Flora, by the end she was rubbing up against his legs like they’d been best friends for years. Highly recommend.”


“Michelle took great care of all our furred and feathered loved ones. She kept us informed of the happenings and sent cute pics, and asked questions when they seemed important. We will definitely book her again!”

“Ethan was so helpful with my kitties! They took great care of my two cats and my home. In addition, my senior cat has special needs for both food and medicine administration and Ethan was really helpful in that as well.”

Scott continues to be the best sitter ever. He is great at communicating, our dog loves him so much, he takes our dog on great adventures, and our home looks like he wasn’t even here. We love having him and I think our dog might be sad we’re home and Scott isn’t here!

Savannah was fantastic! She connected with my dog girl right away and was kind and patient with her silly goose energy. She provided excellent updates, pictures and communication and even saved the day with a last minute check in during some unexpected separation anxiety. Very happy to have found her!

Marie is INCREDIBLE. She took amazing care of our two dogs over a long weekend. She is communicative, patient, and so loving with our pups. She sent plenty of pet updates along with pictures of our girls and we felt so relaxed on our trip knowing our dogs were well cared for the whole time. This was our first time getting a dog sitter and we have one very anxious dog. Marie was so kind and patient with our pup's quirks and she asked lots of thoughtful questions beforehand and was so patient as she earned our dog's trust. Our nervous girl went from barking like crazy on their first night together to snuggling in bed by the end. We could not have asked for a better person to trust with our dogs and are looking forward to our next trip knowing Marie will be there for our dogs <3

She did a great job taking care of my pets and my home while I was away. She was communicative, dependable, and easy to work with throughout the stay. I especially appreciated that she was willing to help on fairly short notice. It gave me peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of, and I came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Emily cared for my big, goofy, slightly anxious boy, and knocked it out of the park again. She came through for us big time when we got stranded on the other side of the country due to a weather event, and she stayed another night with him. She hung out with him on July 4th and everything went smoothly! Emily is, as always, super reliable, totally professional, and I’m a little worried that my dog likes her better than me 😆.

Best Indigiqueer pet sitter in the pdx area I’ve been able to find! My service dog and kitten were well exercised, well fed, and well behaved when I got home. Although excited to see me, they obviously missed Tsïtsïki and we all look forward to our next booking with them!

Ida was an amazing sitter for Smokey and Ernie over the 4th of July weekend! She sent daily photo and text updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even stayed with Smokey during the fireworks to help keep him calm, and I really appreciated the extra care and attention she gave him. When I got home, both of my boys were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Ida again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!
