Madeleine was such a wonderful pet sitter for our dog, Ozzie. She gave us lots of updates and we felt completely comfortable with him in her care! We will definitely use her again when we are traveling.

It was great to have John stay in our house and watch our dear Dora for a week while we were out of town. He kept us in the loop throughout the stay and was a great guest and dog sitter.

Jay took good care of Iris while I was away over the holidays. I had requested daily communication, and Jay sent a picture or comment every day. When I had questions, Jay responded immediately. Iris was clearly well cared-for, and her coat has never looked better, thanks to Jay's grooming. Jay left the house clean and organized. We had travel interruptions and were unable to fly home as planned, and Jay helpfully agreed to stay on longer than planned.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.

About: Ever since I was born, my family always had dogs in the house as they would often provide foster care, we also ended up adopting a few of them! When I was older, around 14, I began looking after and caring for animals from my friends and family. Because of this, I have great experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, reptiles and even pigs! I'm currently searching for a new job - so I have plenty of time to fit in animal care daily. For the meantime, I treat this as my part-time job! I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. My apartment has doors separate my room and the kitchen, so its easy for me to watch animals within my space. There is also an enclosed outdoor area for easy walks!

Lynne was amazing! She stayed at our house in July while we were traveling for a week. This was the first time for us to leave our puppy overnight, so needless to say, we were a bit worried about how our 13-month-old pup would do without us. Lynne immediately put both the dog and us at ease. Throughout the week, she sent us pictures and quick updates. We met up with Lynne again a few days after our trip and the dog was super happy to see her. We will definitely reach out to her again when we need somebody to watch our dog.

Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.

Margot was happy and healthy when we returned and Megan was communicative with photos throughout the stay. So happy we booked Megan!

About: My first job was at Mainely Dog, a doggy daycare where I fed and entertained groups of dogs-all sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up with many dogs in my family. We also fostered and took in dogs with behavioral difficulties, even had up to 5 dogs at once so I’m used to handling multiple dogs at a time! My dream has always been to own my own business to help and love animals. I can’t wait to meet your pups! I currently work a part time job where I work 3-4 days a week from 4:30-10:30 so I am available the rest of those days and my days off. I am attentive and can keep your pets safe whether that’s in your home or outside in the yard. When out on walks, I am skilled at reading your dog and other dog’s ability to interact in a safe environment from my experience at the doggy daycare.

About: For many years in San Francisco, I was a house and Pet Sitter. It started off with just doing it for friends and then word got around and I had a couple of regular gigs. I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have owned several different types since I was a child. I have a 13 year-old daughter who also loves animals and would love to accompany me at times if you are OK with that too. Hello, I currently work part-time so I have most mornings and evenings to feed, walk and play with your critters. I live in Portland so prefer things that are in the town or nearby. I am open to house sits and boarding animals within 45 minutes of Portland. I do have two cats so if I am boarding, they need to be OK with that. If at your home… I will do your routine for the animals. If at my home…I currently live in a large house, I have a yard that is not fenced in that they can go out to the bathroom and on leash in, as well as the Back cove two blocks away and a safe residential neighborhood to walk in. I love taking dogs to dog parks and on adventures to walking trails and beaches. I have two cats that have been around other animals and after warming up seem to do well coexisting.

We had to leave town unexpectedly, and Jenna jumped in to help us on very short notice, which we were incredibly grateful for. Our dog Jun is a pretty anxious boy, so we were definitely nervous leaving him with someone without all of us meeting in person first, but Jenna immediately made us feel comfortable. She was super responsive, communicative, and thoughtful the whole time. Jun looked relaxed and comfy in the photos she sent, which really eased a lot of our stress while we were away. When we got back, he looked happy, healthy, and very well taken care of. Really grateful for how quickly she stepped in and took such great care of our furry boy. We’d absolutely book with her again.

I had a family emergency, and Heather went above and beyond to care for my cat Rasmo. I can't thank her enough for continuing to extend her time with him, and for her wonderful care. Normally when I get home Rasmo is always a little bit skinnier (a picky eater who knows well how to bend me to his will). This time he is as nicely dense as when I left him. Heather was responsive to questions and gave me lots of pix and videos of a very contented cat . I'm incredibly grateful to her and would not hesitate to hire her again - though hopefully for a more fun time away next time!

Carly went above and beyond taking care of my potbelly pig, Notta. She sent daily updates with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mini pigs are unusual pets with big personalities, and Carly took the time to really get to know Notta and make sure she felt comfortable and happy. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Carly to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and attentive pet sitter.
