“Christopher was absolutely amazing! He played with our boy and sent us lots of pictures. He will be my first choice going forward! I cannot more highly recommend this guy!”

“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”

“Raven was such a great help for my trip. Reliable, trustworthy, and took good care of my dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit tetchy with new people and Raven knew exactly how to handle it (ignore ignore ignore) till he came around and I was really grateful for that level headedness. Definitely plan to hire Raven again!”

“Kirby took such great care of my dog Birdy. Birdy is a little shy and timid around new people but quickly became comfortable and goofy with Kirby. Kirby is a great person and is highly recommended. I look forward to working with her again.”

About: I found my first stray in 1996 in SE Portland. He was amazing and our hearts have been full ever since. I have 12 years experience as a vet tech. I’ve since retired and have been walking dogs for the last 6 years. I volunteer at Oregon Humane and help out at my husband’s pizza shop. I have a steady base of walks with room for a few more. Available Wednesday through Saturday (and occasionally Monday and Tuesday.) I am currently not offering dog boarding, but have a fenced in yard. I have two reactive dogs and may offer that in the future.
“I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sam is an excellent pet sitter!! She's responsible, thoughtful, and she has a calm energy about her that my cats love! I was nervous to leave my cats for a week because one of them was having constipation issues, but Sam rose to the occasion! She diligently observed the situation and kept me well informed about the cat's behavior and health. Sam was great at following all my crazy-cat-lady instructions and at administering medications! Sam also took good care of the plants and the house in general! Sam is forever at the top of my list (and my cats' list) for pet sitters!”

“Jessica is a fantastic sitter. She came over and took her time to get to know our pets and meet us before her first time watching them. She’s very attentive and has asked all the right questions to make sure she’s giving the dogs the right care. Her visit went seamlessly and she provided a very detailed recap of it. So glad to have a great pet sitter in our neighborhood!”
“Kai was great with communication and understood the needs of my pup immediately! They were able to help with a short notice request and went above my expectations!”

“Holden took care of our cats while we were away for the week. They were easy to reach, very responsive, and made sure our cats were safe and sound. Highly recommend! Will book again!”

“We have a medically complicated geriatric cat and Gera came by for a training check in to learn our protocols. She also wanted to check in with our cat to see if she could accommodate her high needs. I SO appreciate this kind of awareness and her saying yes to covering our upcoming vacation after confirming all the care fit fit well within her wheelhouse. Thanks, Gera!”

About: My specialty is small nervous dogs that require special care, but I also board/sit larger dogs. The important thing is I’ll follow your instructions precisely on how to care for YOUR dog, so when you’re reunited it’s like you never left! :) I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your dog’s needs, whether they’re an early riser, require medication, regular exercise or anything else. I live down the street from a dog park. If you’re looking for house sitting I’m happy to do that as well, and will leave your place just as I found it!
“Angela is the best! Our puppy is super scared of people. Angela’s patience and gentleness has helped so much in fostering trust with people outside of our household!”

“Jessica was such an incredible pet sitter! I have a lot of anxieties about leaving our kittens, but Jessica kept us updated with paragraph descriptions of what they did together each day and how the kitties were, plus 12-16 photos each visit. She also went above and beyond by setting up enrichment opportunities to keep them entertained in between visits. She kept their food, water, and litter clean and filled, and even cleaned up some ants for us that had discovered the cat food. Her love for animals and the care she put towards our cats was palpable. We will definitely be repeat clients :)”

“Ann is a senior cat whisperer!! She took wonderful care of our two senior cats who have many medication needs and eating trickiness. She sent daily updates with pictures and text to let us know how things were going. We felt lucky to have her help and would definitely ask her to watch them again. Thanks ann!!”


“Kate has great communication skills which is very important to me. She’s respectful, confident, and approachable when caring for another person’s fur baby. 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the community.”
“Maya is friendly, thoughtful and communicative. She wrote detailed and entertaining reports about my wacky cat each day. Simone was in excellent hands. I would definitely book her again!”


“Stayed extra long to make friends with my nervous orange tabby! Went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. Even had to play an impromptu game of hide and seek with him when he was hidden away. Truly appreciate how Karly really cared about my sensitive baby, Chonky. And jumped in when other care from a friend fell through. Thank you! Will definitely book again!”

“Danielle made sure always magnolia was taken care of and felt safe and comfortable.She is very nice and very patient and attentive.Very responsive and responsible.Best sitter experience I’ve had ever honestly !”

“Cailen has been a wonderful petsitter for my two cats, Frosty and Joey. She spent a half hour with them twice a day and sent descriptions and pictures at each visit. I was impressed by how she engaged the felines and how wonderful her descriptions and photos were. She also left the pet areas very clean. I highly recommend Cailen.”

Kathy is always very communicative and reliable! Takes great care of our kitties and pays attention to detail, even doing extra things like opening windows for them when it’s getting hot out. We feel great knowing the cats are in her hands while we are away!

Kay was so awesome and I would definitely have her watch Hugo again. She was very flexible with my last minute booking and gained Hugo’s trust quickly even though he is not a fan of new people. Kay’s notes were thorough and I felt really good knowing everything Hugo had done during her stay. 10/10 Would book again. Thanks Kay!

Ellen is absolutely fantastic and always goes above and beyond with my cat Apple. She takes really good care of all the necessities, but then also teaches her tricks and makes things for her. Apple and I are lucky to have Ellen in our life! I have hired her multiple times and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Alison is amazing! This was our first time leaving Bug for more than just a weekend and I was anxious to leave her so long since she’s fairly shy around strangers. But she came right out for Alison and loved playing with her! The picture and updates were perfect :) we will totally book with Alison again, it was so nice knowing Bug was in caring, extremely capable hands.

Gracie took such great care of kitties while we were away. She spent time letting them acclimate to her when she first arrived and paid special attention to our shy kitty / food-lover kitty dynamic making sure our shy guy got plenty of food and attention. Each day she provided detailed care summaries and sent many photos! Her updates and care of our two babies made it possible to relax while away. We will definitely use her again if given the opportunity. Thanks so much, Gracie!

Catherine is fantastic! She’s watched our dog Harley twice now. Harley is leash reactive, and we feel totally confident with her walking Harley. Sends pics, prompt, extremely responsive, and she even let Harley out after she’d left because our flight was delayed. Will book again!!
