Pet Sitting Skamania

“This was my first time getting a pet sitter/using Rover and I’m very happy with my experience. It can be a little nerve racking to have someone new watch your pets but Makenzie helped with this big time. She is exceptional and I would highly recommend her. She met with the dogs and I beforehand and they immediately liked her which relieved any stress as both dogs have separation anxiety issues. She is very knowledgeable and a dog owner herself so you can tell from the start your dog(s) are in great hands and she truly cares for them as if they were her own. She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs were taken care of and comfortable while I was away for a trip. Makenzie sent updates after every stop and even kept an open line of communication outside of the scheduled visits and the reports with the. She has great reviews and I can see why! Will 100% ask her to watch them again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Callae was really great for dropping in on our needy cat. We did a meet and greet before we left town and she was friendly and accommodating. Our cat was alive when we got back and not too stir crazy from a lack of human contact.”

About: Hi there! I've been a dog sitter for going on 10 years, mostly for close family and friends but I'm looking to branch out. I love spending time with furry friends and when the weather's nice I enjoy getting them outside for play or walks. I'm a trustworthy sitter and I've even been tasked with giving dogs medicine or shots and have even taken dogs on routine vet visits while their parents are away. I work 3 days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Saturday) so I have 4 days where I can play and spend quality time with the pet(s) I'm watching. I try to keep the pet(s) routine as close to normal as I can in their home. I know it can be stressful when their parents are gone and I want it to be a comfortable situation for not only the pet but for the parents as well.

About: I’ve been dedicated to dogs for most of my life. My current best friend, Arty was a stray and then was at shelters for a long time before I adopted him. He had issues, but I didn’t give up on him. I took him to manners class and used marker training to work through his issues. He is now a well-balanced boy. He loves to pose for pictures, for treats, of course. I would love to care for your pet when you’re away, in your home or mine if your pet is a good fit with Arty. I am a fit and active retiree. I go for long walks every morning and work out at the gym four days a week. The rest of my days are dedicated to my dog and gardening. I have a large fenced yard that is perfect for dogs to play and do zoomies. I have a large dog door and my house is dog friendly, with dog beds and throw rugs on a hardwood floor. I have a rear gate in my car and a dog hammock on the middle seat.

About: With over 15+ years working with animals, I understand how hard it is to be away from your pets — and how much they mean to you. That’s why getting to know each dog’s individual needs is the first thing I focus on, before anything else. Every dog communicates differently, has different comfort levels, and settles in their own way, and I take the time to learn that instead of assuming one routine fits all. I currently have my own fur ball - a Samoyed — daily grooming, sensitivities to food, and plenty of agility work to keep her fulfilled as a working breed. Caring for her has taught me just how much a dog’s happiness depends on meeting their specific physical and mental needs, not just the basics. Having owned dogs of all sizes over the years, from small to medium breeds, I’ve learned that a high-energy working dog needs something completely different from a laid-back senior — and I adjust my care accordingly, whether that means extra playtime, a quieter pace, or sticking closely to a special diet or routine. My husband and I both work from home, so your dog becomes part of the household, not just a guest. I love the outdoors, so there’s always room for a walk or an adventure with a furry friend by my side. Since I work from home, pet care isn’t squeezed into a rushed morning or evening — it’s woven throughout my day. I take breaks to check in, play, and go for walks, so dogs get consistent attention rather than long stretches alone. Feeding times, walks, and rest periods stay on a steady schedule, and I’m always nearby to notice if something seems off. It also means I can stick closely to a specific routine or diet your dog is used to, without any guesswork Dogs need more than just love and attention — they need real stimulation, both physical and mental. A tired body isn’t the same as a fulfilled mind, and every dog’s needs look different, so I treat that as part of their care, not an afterthought. There are no kennels here — dogs have free roam inside my home, plenty of space to relax and play, and constant updates so you always know how they’re doing

About: From the moment I first encountered a playful pup at the age of nine, my heart was forever captured by dogs' boundless joy and unwavering loyalty. Since then, my life has been enriched by countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible pawprint on my heart. As I embarked on my journey in pet care, I discovered the profound joy of nurturing these loving creatures and the immeasurable rewards of companionship and connection. I have plenty of time to help take care of animals. I am also flexible on weekends. Would be able to walk your pet midday and evenings. Mornings are tough time for my availability. I am experienced with setting up a routine schedule for a pet: morning bathroom break, midday, and evening. Lunch and dinner are typically done first thing in the morning and evening. A morning walk or evening walk also works. Routines are great for animals.

About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

About: Hi, I’m Nate. I’ve spent years around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I take pride in providing consistent, thoughtful care. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, overnight care, or just a little extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’m calm, observant, and reliable — and I always follow your dog’s routine and preferences closely. I’m comfortable with leash handling, senior dogs, basic meds, and high-energy pups that need a solid outlet. You’ll always get clear communication, prompt updates, cute photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Let me know what your dog needs — I’m happy to help. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the dogs I’m caring for — whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. I keep a consistent routine to make sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need, and I build in time for updates and communication with pet owners. Because I work remote and on a flexible schedule, I’m able to stay focused and present with each animal I care for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so I can meet their specific needs. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just quiet companionship, I adjust my approach to what works best for them. I always follow care instructions closely — including feeding, medications, and any training routines — and I keep things calm and consistent to help pets feel at ease. I also send regular updates so owners know their pet is doing well while they’re away.

About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with

About: I just moved to Portland and I work remotely so I can definitely spend time with any pets I care for! Growing up my family always had pets and I loved taking care of them! My family currently has one dog and anytime I go back to Southern California to visit I love hanging out with her. Throughout my life I've always been the one to call for pet sitting when neighbors and friends go away on vacation. I really love taking care of their dogs and cats while they're away. Along with helping my friends and family take care of their pets I've also worked at a pet supply store where I interacted with animals daily. Before moving to Portland I lived in Bend where I had a good amount of repeat pet sitting gigs and I loved them like they were my own. Before moving to Oregon I lived in San Francisco for about 12 years. While living in San Francisco I volunteered with the SPCA which was definitely a great experience! I've always loved animals and I feel like I am just happier around them :D I currently work from home so I can spend all day everyday with the pets I care for! I love going on walks throughout the week and my work schedule is flexible so I can take your pet out anytime :) I follow all rules your pet currently has so it doesn’t disrupt their daily routine. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable while in my care.

About: I recently moved to the Gorge from Asheville, NC, and I am so excited to meet you and your pups! My deep love for animals began at a very young age. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes -from dogs and cats to farm animals, reptiles, and birds. That lifelong passion led me into a rewarding career in animal care. I have been a full-time professional dog groomer and daycare/boarding specialist for the past 20 years. I also have experience at a veterinary emergency center. In my free time, I would volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I understand that every dog is unique. Over two decades, I have developed extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in a slow, patient approach for nervous or shy dogs who need extra reassurance, and I am highly experienced in administering necessary medications. I treat every pet like family. My very first dog, an Airedale mix, lived to be 16 and a half years old. She had a long, beautiful life that I attribute to deep love, care, and proper attention. I bring that same standard of love and dedication to every animal I meet. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently a stay at home mom and we enjoy walking and hiking every day! Your pet will be included in everything! I understand some dogs enjoy lazy days too and I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I usually begin my morning with a walk and end it with one before bed. I am available to stay at your home or mine. I base this by whatever will make your pet feel the most comfortable. I have a friendly dog named Gator who misses playing with dogs while I worked at the grooming salon so bad, so I’m sure he’d be excited to join! We love going to the Bingen point “ dog park,”walking around the neighborhood near Daubenspeck park, Catherine creek, North Western, b.z falls, and the klickitat trail!
