“As a new dog dad and Rover app user, I was nervous about the last minute walks that I had to schedule. Luckily Byron was there to save the day and provide my pup the much needed exercise and attention he very much needed. Great professional communication and understanding. Highly recommend Byron!”

“Iris dropped in on our dog and cat while we were away. She also came back in the afternoon to walk the dog. She did a wonderful job and kept in good contact with us and sent pictures. She was gracious enough to add a walk in the morning and help us with payment instructions. We will definitely have her back!”



“Our very energetic cattle dog mix, Brinkley, who is sometimes hesitant about strangers loved Alexander from the very first walk. Brinkley also loved playing with Buford. Alex is communicative, reliable, and just has a sense for what dogs need!”


“Molly is the best! She has saved me so much stress about my baby boy being taken care of. Zeus totally loves walking with her and is a happy boy! Also she takes the best pictures of him and they really brighten my day!!!”


“Lillian is wonderful! I knew she was a good fit at our first interaction. The dogs loved her instantly as well. Very kind person and responsive. Highly recommend!”


“Chris has been walking my dog for about a month now and I am so grateful to have found him! He walks her, chucks the ball at the park, and dries her from rain/mud all while I'm at work. Also, Chris always pulls in my packages that are dropped off after I leave my apartment. Chris is someone who can be trusted with your dogs care and home. Thank you, Chris!”


About: I have had pets all my life, and I absolutely adore animals. I have two special needs dogs, and I believe they have saved my life. Pets are the best of us and deserve the best of us in return. I currently work independent contractor positions, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I maintain the pet care for my partner and myself everyday with multiple walks for our four dogs. Pet care is the best part of the day. Unfortunately, I cannot take more pets into my own home, but in someone else’s home, I would respect the space, maintain a clean and professional environment, and offer care and affection for the pet present.

About: Hello! I’m Melissa, a lifelong cat lover with extensive experience caring for feline friends. I’ve lived with cats all my life (except during college—definitely not by choice!). I cherish each cat I meet and treat them with the love and respect they deserve. Caring for your furbaby would be a rewarding experience for me! I currently share my home with my tabby, Fili, whom I've had for over 9 years and who requires a special diet. Growing up, I also cared for a tabby who lived to be 21 years old, giving me experience with both young and senior cats. I'm sensitive to the needs of kitties requiring special diets or treatments. I understand that some cats can be shy or intimidated by strangers in their territory, and I’m here to provide a calm and reassuring presence. Playful bites or scratches don’t faze me; I know that’s just part of their personality! In addition to my cat care experience, I’m also eager to start caring for dogs. I absolutely love dogs and am excited to expand my pet care services! Thank you for considering me as your cat sitter—I can't wait to meet your kitty (or pup) soon! I have an open schedule, allowing me to provide flexible pet care that fits your needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pets company, I’m here to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I can adjust my availability to accommodate your routine, making it easy for you to feel confident in the care your pets will receive. While providing pet care in a client’s home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I ensure a welcoming and secure environment where pets feel at ease. I carefully follow the client’s routines and instructions to maintain consistency for their pets, helping them feel comfortable in their own space. I pay special attention to cleanliness, particularly in areas like litter boxes, to create a hygienic environment for the pets. I take the time to get to know each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they receive the attention and care they require. Building trust is essential, so I prioritize clear communication with pet parents. By being attentive, respectful, and caring, I aim to provide a positive and nurturing experience for every furry friend in my care.

About: I have always loved animals, and grew up with pet dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Rain or shine, I love getting outside and being active with pets—going to the park, playing with a frisbee or ball, or taking a quick jog. I know that all pets are unique, and I’m comfortable meeting the needs of animals who might be more anxious or need extra attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority, so I’d like to know about any particular fears, allergies, or special care they might need before meeting them. I also like knowing about their favorite treats and games. :) I have experience caring for both cats and dogs at all stages of life. I’m very comfortable with most pet care tasks, including feeding, grooming, exercise, administering medications and snuggling! I would love to dote on your furry family member!

About: I’ve been a pet lover all of my life. I was raised around and assisted in caretaking for pets from a very early age, living on a ranch. I started becoming the designated friends and family pet sitter when I was in high school. This privileged role has continued throughout my adult years, and I feel honored that the people I care about trust me to provide quality care for their furry loved ones. It feels like a natural transition to want to offer this level of care to members of my community as well. I have experience in training puppies, as well as caring for senior dogs. I’ve predominantly worked with medium-sized to large breed dogs, but please know I feel comfortable working with all sizes of pups. I’m currently a full time student, which means my school schedule allows me the opportunity to have flexible work hours. This gives me ample time to play and care for your pets. I’m available for house-sitting, dog-walking, potty breaks/play time on weekends, as well as Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. My first priority is to clarify and verify what pets and pet owners want and need while they are in my care. I do walkthroughs of the house and its surrounding area to make sure there are no safety concerns or unlatched areas where a pup could get out. If a pup requires crate training or any other form of dog proofing of the home I will verify it is done properly and gently to provide a safe space for your pet to thrive in.

About: I had taken care of all our family pets before I moved out, I miss doing so quite much, would love to help take care of some pups and kitties again! I would walk and feed our old senior dog all the time when my grandparents couldn’t do so anymore and I’ve raised many kittens and have taken care of our family cats over the years ever since I can remember. I am currently out of work and looking for ways to make extra money and also hang out with animals again since I’ve moved out with my family. Playing, giving food, providing love, learning cats and dogs personalities and quirks to provide adequate care such as stroking or brushing, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playing and any other needs.


About: I specialize in working with puppies and reactive dogs, but love working with all dogs! I'd love to teach your puppy how to navigate the world and help set them up for success! This includes basic commands and potty training! I also know how difficult it can be to find someone to care for dogs who are more reactive and that's where I come in! I am confident in my ability to work with reactive dogs and have years of experience helping reactive dogs navigate the world. Pet care is my main focus and priority. I am available to do check ins throughout the day as well as dog walking. I'm confident that I can find a schedule that works for both my clients and myself! My goal is to make sure that your pet is well taken care of and happy. I strive to make my interaction with your pet as stress free as possible and will work with each of my clients to find the best way to ensure that.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. Throughout my life I have also volunteered with several different animal non profits. I can't imagine my life without the companionship of my dogs and I would love to share that love helping you out with yours. I work full-time, but have a super flexible schedule. I have plenty of time in my day-to-day to help you out with your cat or dog. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own but because of their high maintenance personalities I think my services are best focused caring for your pets in your environment or on walks.

About: Hey, I'm lauren. I've grown up around pets (have had them since I was little) and currently have two corgis and a rescue cat. I'd love to take care of your pets! I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and enjoy playing and walking them. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love portland and am familiar with the various neighborhoods. I am on time and responsible. I can also take care of cats, small animals. I'd love to hang out with you pup or kitty! Thanks for reading my profile. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Have a great day! Thanks! I currently work from home M-F and currently take my own pets for 3x daily walks. I’m happy to work with your pets existing schedule. I follow instructions carefully while respecting your pets personal boundaries. I make sure your pets are comfortable and loved. I’m happy to discuss specific needs in detail

“Marcus always takes great care of Zeta and seems to genuinely appreciate the time he spends with the pup. He and I were able to set up a system for taking the pup out while I'm at work and it has been a super smooth and easy process.”


About: I have had pets my entire life so I am very good at communicating with them, especially cats and dogs, and understanding their boundaries and what they need. I've had some minor (unprofessional) experience training a puppy, and I would be happy to further explore that! I am a college student on summer break who needs to work, so I am available when you are! I'm available all days of the week at all times. The first thing I do is feed, water, and take care of bathroom needs (litter box/going for a walk) for the animal(s) and then I will spend quality time with them if that's something the animal wants.

“Kate was so sweet and personable! She genuinely has a love for dogs and treated my furbaby as if he was her own! :) She is also very responsive and professional and we truly appreciate her!”

“Lisa is truly the animal whisperer! She has such a kind and caring soul, and both my cat and dog absolutely adore her. Not only did she keep them happy and cared for while I was away, but she also took my dog on walks and gave them all the love and attention they could possibly want. Honestly, I think she takes better care of my animals than I do (lol). I feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her hands, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
