House Sitting in Shady Dell

“Sarah stayed at our farm watching everything from emus, chickens and turkeys to dogs and goats. She did a fantastic job. Our house was extremely well respected and our dogs didn’t miss us one bit 😂 100000% recommend her for all of your needs. Thank you, Sarah!”

“River is the best! She took exceptional care of our 80-pound Chesapeake Bay Retriever for two weeks and truly went above and beyond by keeping our hummingbird feeders filled while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. Her communication was excellent throughout—always quick, responsive, and reassuring. We highly recommend River and hope to have her care for our dog again soon!”

“Lyra took great care of my sweet boy. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates. I look forward to Lyra caring for Oliver again.”

“Myrna did a great job with my shy dog Annie. Annie does not usually warm up to people easily but she loves Myrna. She was able to get Annie to go on a few adventures and also introduced her to a new dog friend, Mackie. She sent lots of pictures and my house looked great when I got home.”

“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”

“Aidan did a wonderful job caring for our two goldens and house while we were away for a week. He communicated consistently, sent regular photo updates, followed routines for our pups, and kept our home neat and well cared for. When we returned, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly tired from having so much fun and attention during the week. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book Aidan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Allie took great care of our fur kids while we were on vacation. She asked really good questions before we left and communicating was easy, with quick response. We also appreciated the thoughtful photos/updates about how they were doing! Will definitely rehire for future pet-sitting needs.”

About: I LOVE animals! I treat every animal like my own. From walks, to playtime, to just keeping them company , I make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy! Right now my schedule is very open, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m able to prioritize walks, playtime, feeding routines, and giving pets the attention they need and deserve! I try follow each pet’s routine so they aren’t disrupted by big change, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and all of the attention! My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free while their people are away.

“Amir is fantastic! Worked great with our 70lb anxious dog who always barks at strangers. Helped to coax our nervous cat out too so she could get some affection while we were gone.”

“Sparkle, as always, is an attuned and attentive sitter for my two kitties. I have one who is particularly sensitive that has cuddled right up to them and feels very grounded when I return home. My space was very clean and they sent cute pics throughout! Thanks Sparkle ✨!”

“Amber stayed at our home for a week over the 4th of July holiday. She took great care of our three dogs and three cats and kept in contact the whole time.”

About: I have taken care of 4 dogs at once. 3 big, 1 small. They required a lot of attention. I also had to give medication to 2 of the dogs. I enjoy spending time with dogs and fitting to their needs I have school during the weekdays from 8-9 am to 2 or 3. I am able to spent the night at peoples houses and change my schedules to fit the dogs needs. I am able to do anything that fits the owners needs. I make sure to watch the dogs often and give them attention they need.

About: I’ve started walking dogs since I was walking in diapers. Throughout the years I’ve taken care of different sizes of dogs~ puppies to seniors. I’ve taken care of dogs that needed medical care and trained my dog and my grandma’s pup. I can say I know a bit of things when it comes dogs. I’m currently going to school in the afternoon and working at a part time, my mornings are almost always open and some of my nights. I’ll Still be willingly to work something out between those times. I like to take my dog out every 4 hrs even if he isn’t waiting at the door just to make sure he gets a nice breeze of the outside. I usually give him a cup of food every morning.

About: Hi! My name is Liv and I adore taking care of pets. I have had experience with all sizes of dogs, but I also love cats! I am currently available any day and any time besides Thursdays. Thursdays I have a reoccurring appointment that i must attend to. But I am free otherwise! It is extremely important to me to create a safe and loving environment for your pet. Building trust and comfort is my number one goal.

“Bo was great! The dogs loved him immediately. He was easy to work with and we felt very assured they were in good hands while we were gone. We would definitely call him again.”

About: My family has had 2+ dogs and 3+ cats since I was very young, which has taught me how to care for animals long term. I've also raised and trained a German Shepard puppy into teen years. I've also had brief experience with a diabetic dog, who required shots twice daily. I am currently between jobs, so I love short-term (weekends) or long-term stays (1-3 weeks) with pets and getting to know them well. In my own home, pet care is a constant daily routine. This includes feeding all the animals 2-3 times per day, cleaning litter boxes, freshening water bowls, walking the dogs 1-2 times per day, and playing with the cat (to her abilities). My family currently has 2 small/medium dogs and a senior cat, who I take care of on a regular basis. The safety of your pet is the MOST important thing while you are traveling. As a sitter, I love to send small update (and pictures!) of how your pet is doing, to lessen anxiety while you are gone.

About: I have taken care of animals on and off all my life. As a kid, we had dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. As an adult, I’ve cared for fish, dogs, cats, birds and even some goats. I’m pretty open minded although I am not available for large reptiles. I work online as a Workflow Automation Engineer. I have a flexible schedule and am ready to meet most reasonable requests. I am based in Lake Oswego and have easy access to most areas of the Portland Metro area. I do my best to be a good stand-in for you and care for them in whatever way I’m instructed. They will be safe, well fed with plenty of play to keep them happy.

“Not only did Kiah do an excellent job of watching our boys and the house, but it was a pleasant surprise to come home from our trip and see she’d already grabbed our mail, washed the bedding and towels and remade the bed. Those are little details that go a long way. Now we can just relax and not have to worry about any clean up afterwards. Exceeded all expectations.”

About: Hi, I’m Kendyl! I recently moved to Silverton after buying my first home, and I’m loving getting settled into the area. I’m engaged and planning to get married this summer, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a German Shepherd that I actively train, so I understand the importance of structure, exercise, and engagement for dogs of all breeds. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I truly love animals and will make sure your dog is well cared for and gets the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, as I have a more flexible schedule Monday through Friday during the day. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, and training sessions. Since I actively train my own dog, caring for and working with other dogs is already a regular part of my day. Whether it’s a midday walk or some extra enrichment, I’m able to provide the attention and exercise your pet needs! I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and engaged, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, I have a fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to play and get plenty of exercise. I ensure they have a structured routine, including walks, playtime, and basic training reinforcement if needed. In a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions to maintain consistency in their pet’s routine. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or enrichment, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve.
