“Jordan treated Nira like her own! We can always tell how well things went when our dog acts like we were never gone! Jordan was very responsible with watering all our flowers during this hot weather. All looked good when we returned.”

About: I live an active lifestyle that involves going on walks and hikes around the beautiful Columbia Gorge. I grew up with dogs around the house and would love to take care of yours! I can provide the following services; walks, med administration, poop patrol, and expert belly rubs. Currently I am a graduate student that works from home so I am avalible on the days that I do not go to classes. With this flexible schedule, it should be easy for me to fit you and your pet during the week. I have indoor cats that I love and care for. Therefore, I will not be able bring any dog or another cat into my home.
“We are so happy to have found Mackenzie! Her calm demeanor is perfect for our boy and she is very in tune with what he needs. It was a hot weekend and she found ways to keep him entertained inside! Plus she left our house in great shape - clean dishes, washed sheets and towels, etc. We are already looking at booking our next trip with her so we know Jet will be in good hands!”

“Sydney did a fantastic job caring for our furry boy and our home. She was highly responsible, following care instructions, took impeccable care of our garden and home. In fact, she left our home cleaner than she found it, over the top and unexpected. Her communication was awesome, she often sent texts and pictures and that was a great feeling when you are missing your fur baby.”

About: 5 months of volunteer experience in a private shelter in Romania, taking care of 80+ dogs at any given time. Recently adopted one of the dogs from the shelter. Dogs and cats have always been present in my family. On M/W/F, at 8AM-2:30PM, I attend massage school in Portland. On the days I go to school, I do have periods of time, early morning and early evening, to check on your fur babies. Aside from that, my free days, Tue/Thur/Sat/Sun, are fully open for whatever frequency is needed to check on your animals. I have a fenced yard with two dogs that are social. Occasionally there is a cat present. I’m fully comfortable taking your dogs on walks, playing with them, or just sitting and keeping them company.
About: My family and I always had dogs and cats, even bunnies! I love animals and taking care of your babies would be an honor. I also have experience dog sitting for my friends. I am a preschool teacher but I’m hoping to fill my days off taking great care of your pets. I’m looking for house sitting and dog walking opportunities. Caring for pets in your home or a client’s home depends on the type of service you provide (pet sitting, dog walking, boarding, etc.), but the goal is always to keep the pet safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine.
“Robin was super easy to communicate with. Warm and loving. She updated us about our two dogs. We have an older one, who needs To move slow and a younger, big baby, with lots of energy. She took time to meet both of their needs. Thanks Robin!”

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I've helped pet sit before. I love to walk and run, so let me take your furry floof along. I'm currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your floof(s) rest assured they will be in great hands I will do what is asked of me to make sure your animal is cared for to the extent that is needed for their happiness.
“Brianna is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. She took care of our cat for 9 days and left us heartwarming updates. She did an amazing job with Captain Jack and I just caught him waiting by the door for her. I highly recommended Brianna!”


“I came home to a better trained pup thanks to Haley! I’m so thankful she was willing to stay with my pup with just a few days notice after my previous arrangements fell through. She is definitely a dog lover and has lots of knowledge about them.”

About: I am passionate about connecting with animals, people, new places on the Earth! I've been housesitting, farming and studying herbalism and health coaching for over 15 years, and I am a verified/vetted 5-star sitter on another international pet-sitting site. I have also worked as a trained naturalist/wildlife guide and vet tech, and have extensive training in the biology, care, track and sign of mammals. Housesitting/animal care has offered me a wonderful opportunity to include animals in my life now that my own two Aussies have passed. I love meeting and getting to know your lovable pets! I love to be healthy and don't smoke anything :) I work part-time as a home health nurse with a very flexible schedule. Therefore, it's easy for me to incorporate pet-walking and housesitting into my schedule, offering lots of attention, love, and exercise/activity to meet the needs of your pets. From caring for domestic pets (dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, mice) to farm animals (chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, horses), I love to create safe and loving environments for the animals and to foster trusting relationships with them. Many of my housesitting experiences have been longterm and return clients, with some assignments lasting up to a year. Often they have included garden and farm maintenance (paid). I pride myself on leaving a home as tidy as I found it (often even more sparkly :)
About: I have had pups all my life, of many different shapes and sizes. I have lots of experience caring for elderly pups as well training puppies. I am comfortable with big dogs as much as I am little ones. I recently lost my dog of 20 long, happy puppy years, and am eager to put all the extra love I have to give into your pup. I have trained countless dogs to walk well on leash, if that’s something you need help with. I am also comfortable with big off leash (or on) hikes, if that’s what your pup prefers. I have a 90 lb bernedoodle puppy at home who delights in off leash adventures. If your dog needs socializing, we could all go together! I work part time and attend graduate school remotely, so I’m able to spend ample time with your beloved pets! My husband stays home with our dogs when I’m pet sitting, so not much need to leave once I’m there. I am very cognizant of escape artists and all sorts of mischievous puppies and kitties. I am very communicative with all of my clients; I’ll send pics and texts or calls if you prefer several times a day (unless you’d rather be left alone!)
About: Have been taking care of dogs for at least a decade and a half. Friends, family, and family friends have relied on me to walk, play with, feed, and take good care of their pets, and would be happy to extend my great services to you! Currently, I mainly work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to help meet you and your pet's schedule and needs. Also, I have a car, so I am happy to come to you. Am very respectful of other's spaces, and have a lot of experience house sitting other's animals. If preferred, I have quiet a few references that I am happy to provide. Also, I live right next to Mission Bay Park, so if your pets stay with me there are a lot of great options for walking by the bay.
About: I am a dedicated dog mom with hands on experience caring for both active and senior dogs. I love daily walks and outdoor play, and I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. I work full time Monday through Friday in White Salmon with some flexibility in my schedule and I’m also willing to stay overnight to provide consistent, reliable care for your pet in the comfort of their home if needed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly dog who enjoys playtime and walks. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and at home.
