Katherine notices small things that most people do not including how your pet is feeling and she will let you know if there is anything she important. She is also timely and caring towards the pet owner, and very respectful of the space around her. I notice that pets are very attracted to her deep caring and sense that she is a safe a loving person.”

13. Brighid B.
About: Hi! I am a huge fan of dogs and cats and miss my own very much! Since I am pet less at college, I thought that I could meet other pets and have a reason to take a walk! I have owned animals all of my life and have experience with older dogs specifically. I also have experience with younger dogs and have even lived with puppies in their training years. Active dogs are amazing and I am an avid runner who welcomes any running/jogging companions. While I have less experience with cats, I am still a cat lover and have been around cats all of my life. I am a avid dog and cat lover and can not wait to make more furry friends! During the week I can do check-ins twice a day and even more on the weekends! My evenings are the most flexible and I don't mind driving. I have a safe, clean car if necessary. I am a great communicator and I can be in touch at all times of the day!


14. Brandon J.

“Brandon was perfect! Our dog warmed up to him right away.”


15. Silas B.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Silas for your pet care needs. He is a caring, creative, and responsible person who brings great energy and devotion to everything he does. He gives loving attention to his own and others' pets and he is naturally kind, patient, and reliable.”


16. Silvia C.
“Sylvia is an exceptional dog sitter/walker that we have full trust in every time we leave town! She very clearly loves the animals she cares for, making sure they get the attention and exercise they require depending on their needs. I find this a huge relief when planning for a trip away from home, knowing we have nothing to worry about with the pets left behind. When we had both one elderly and one young dog she took the time to take leisurely slow strolls for the 12 year old and longer more adventurous outings for the 4 year old. She has always kept us updated on the status of our animals while they’re in her care, with pictures and notes on the day’s happenings. I really couldn’t ask for more from someone, Sylvia’s a phenomenal choice if you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and responsive sitter/walker!”


17. Justine S.

“Terrific dog walker!!”


18. Seth W.

“Seth was incredibly patient with my anxious pup who gets stressed around new people. He clearly has a strong understanding of working with dogs and he developed a lot of trust with my dog in a short period of time. His daily updates and pictures were much appreciated. He even did some training with my pup as a way to build trust and confidence in her. We can’t wait to hire Seth again!”


19. Macie B.
“Macie is a responsible, caring, respectful young lady. She has house and pet sat for neighbors and friends for many years to make extra money. She is an animal lover and will treat your pet and home as if it were her own. I would highly recommend Macie.”


20. Alexis D.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for, understand, and love them unconditionally. There’s nothing I enjoy more than spending time with furry friends—whether it’s going on long walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. Your pup’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like my own! I work full time as a nurse practitioner from 8AM-5PM, however some days are remote (random throughout each month). I otherwise have Thursdays, weekends and holidays off. I live in a quiet neighborhood in he outskirts of Portland with a friendly golden retriever named Mowgli who loves walks, stuffies and play time.
