“Veronica did a great jobs with my pups this week. Providing them with both walks and drop ins during a busy work week. She was communicative and gave great updates and could tell she genuinely cared about them and their time together. Will hire again!”

About: Hi! My name is Quinn and I am 22 years old. I’ve been taking care of neighbors' and friends' pets for almost 10 years now! My main services on here are drop in visits, dog walking, housesitting, and overnight stays, but I am happy to discuss any other activities you might be looking for too! I recently lost my family Bernese Mountain Dog at 10 1/2 years of age and am in much need of dog love. I guarantee I will treat your fur baby with the care and attention that they need and deserve! I recently left my job, so I am extremely open and flexible at the moment! I have no schedule I need to stick to, so I can easily adapt to what works best for your pet. I am unable to have pets in my current home but am able to drive elsewhere to meet up and/or pet sit. My philosophy with pets is to give them what they need (love, attention, exercise, etc..) while being respectful of their space and desires.

About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.

About: I have over 10 years experience both professionally and privately with dogs and other animals. I see pets as part of the family and am dedicated to their nurturing care. I am quite physically fit and will run with your dog if you'd like. I also can take care of cats or small animals if needed. I have worked for dog hotels, pet stores and personally house/pet sat for people. I have volunteered at shelters and rescues and can administer medications if needed! I love spending time with animals and would never leave one in a bad situation! I can deal with any size of dog and am experienced at reading temperaments. I am extremely reliable and use honest as my policy for life. Your pet is in caring and experienced hands with me :)

“Tabitha is awesome! Tabitha tuned in to my senior dog Charlie and his needs as he went on his walk. I injured my knee and couldn't walk Charlie. He loves his walks so having you help out when our other Rover Care Giver for Charlie wasn't available to walk him, thank you Tabitha for helping out. You are truly a Godsend.”

About: Hi! I’m Haley, I’ve fostered dogs and have two of my own so I have a pretty good range of experiences with different breeds and personalities. I was on Rover in my early twenties and loved it but had to take a break because of work travel. I’m now settled in Oregon City and would love to take some pups on walks. I enjoy spending time outside, as long as your dog doesn’t mind bad weather, I don’t either. Feel free to book anytime. I work remote and my schedule is very flexible. 11:00am-4:00pm is the easiest timeframe to accommodate same day walk requests. I live in Oregon City and can drive to Portland, Lake Oswego, or Canby. It’s important to be able to read dog body language and to have attention to detail. Providing a safe environment is key to success. Many dogs resource guard or have behavioral triggers, it’s helpful to know those in advance.

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe, comfortable place to stay. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're traveling, working long hours, or simply need someone you can trust, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a stress-free, home-like environment where your furry family member feels loved, secure, and right at home while you're away. I work a remote job and have flexible hours. This allows me to leave for mid day walks, jogs, or potty breaks, whatever your pups needs. I have always enjoyed opening our house up to fury visitors. We (my almost 14 year old) and I enjoy the company. I have a fully fenced yard that is about 7500 sf, lots of room to run around and play. I do have a couple fences that are shorter (3.5'/4'). I have pictures of our sweet Blanche, we lost her late last year and currently do not have any pets in the house. We do have chickens but they will remain in the coop.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life! I grew up with dogs and most recently had the privilege of caring for a family member’s senior dog through the end of his life. That experience made me appreciate even more how much love, patience, and care our furry family members deserve at every stage of life. Since moving into our home with a beautiful yard, I’ve been looking forward to sharing it with some furry friends! We have three young children, so we aren’t quite ready to commit to another full-time dog just yet. In the meantime, we would love to open our home to other people’s pups and give them a safe, loving place to stay and play. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own, follow their usual routine, and make sure they get plenty of affection and time to enjoy our yard. Our home is best suited for dogs who are comfortable around young children and enjoy a family environment. I’d love to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, and needs so I can help them feel right at home while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐶 I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home with my children and have flexibility throughout the day to incorporate caring for your pup into our routine. Between time at home, outdoor breaks in our beautiful yard, and plenty of opportunities for affection and companionship, we’d love to make your dog feel like part of the family while they’re with us. With three young children, we keep a family-oriented routine, so we’re especially suited for dogs who are comfortable around little ones and enjoy being part of a busy, loving home. I’ll be mindful of your dog’s individual needs and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pets will be welcomed into our home and treated like part of the family! We have a beautiful yard for outdoor play and fresh air, as well as a garage for extra space when needed. Dogs will stay inside our home with us and will have access to our yard for potty breaks, playtime, and exercise. I’m currently on maternity leave, so I’m home throughout the day and can incorporate their care into our daily routine, including meals, walks, outdoor time, and lots of love and attention. We’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re awa

About: Love helping dogs of all sizes enjoy nature and release their energy! I know life gets busy and we all want the best for our pets! Pretty open and flexible - working part-time as I perform a bit of a career pivot. Plenty of time in the mornings and afternoons, as well as at night, but evenings can be arranged Happy to meet and go over any specific training or habits that work for your pups. I traditionally don’t do a bunch of treat giving, but happy to do so.

Monday-Saturday 7am-11am. I love long walks and would love your dog to join me! We will coordinate a schedule that works best for you and your pup!

About: I'm a positive reinforcement–based dog trainer. If you're working on training with your dog, I'm happy to reinforce those skills while you're away to help maintain the progress you've made. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, as well as dogs that may need a little extra patience or understanding. Every dog is different, and I think their care should reflect that. I'll tailor each visit to your dog's personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which makes it easy to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm usually able to accommodate a variety of times for either one-time visits or something more regular. My goal is to stick to your dog's normal schedule and routines as closely as possible. Just let me know what that looks like, and I'll make it happen. When I'm in your home, I follow the Scout motto: "Leave it better than you found it." I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine.

About: Hey! My name is Holland and I have been looking after pets, specifically dogs since I was 9 years old. I am highly experienced with small and big dogs as well as cats. I’m looking for something consistent, and long term. I can spend the night with your pet, feed your pet or just walk your pet! I have a part time job, I’m going to college starting in the fall but I will remain in this area and I’ll still be available to walk your pets. I’m looking for long term services! Depending on what you want, I can offer services at my home or yours. I have a fenced, closed off backyard, plenty big enough for pups to run around in! If I were to stay at your home, I can follow instructions very clearly and do anything that you need. Just an FYI, I do have an almost one year old German shepherd. He is very friendly and always wants to make new friends.

About: I've had many pets in my life. When I was four years old, my parents brought home two cats from the shelter, and ever since then I've been able to experience the joy of having furry (and scaly) friends. When I got a little older, I got to know the responsibility that it is to take care of them. I know that every pet is special- and many of our little friends need specific care, and I am more than willing to work with you to provide that care to your pet while you are away. I have an abundance of time this summer on both weekends and weekdays to take care of and play with your furry friends. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can make any timeline work to take good care of your pet. I am more than willing to ensure that your home is left as it was for when you return. I can take your dog out on walks, and if you like, I can take your dog out to the dog park. I'll play with your pet, or even just keep them company, and keep them fed and comfortable. Also, If you need, I'll bring any packages you receive inside so as to prevent them from being damaged or stolen.

About: I've had many dogs of my own over the years. Different sizes and different breeds, they all had their own personality. I'm always happiest if a dog is in the room. I have been working as a professional pet sitter the past few years. It has been one of my most rewarding jobs. I have cared for many dogs and cats, all with their own personalities and needs. I also have experience with birds and reptiles. We currently have a Green cheek conure and a Bearded Dragon in our home. Let me know your pet's needs and we will figure out a plan from there. Melissa I offer drop in visits at your home only at this time. I am very flexible and can accommodate most schedules. Let me know what you need. I have taken care of many animals in the comfort of their own home. It has worked well for animals that feel best staying home when you are traveling.

“Shiying has been excellent with our two dogs on their daily walks! She’s quick to respond and follows the instructions we’ve left for the dogs perfectly. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pets!”

“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”
