Pet Sitting in Troutdale

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and and excited to get to know yours and help out this summertime! For almost 15 years, I helped raise and take care of my family dog, Dakota. She was terrier mix who loved to play and eat like there’s no tomorrow! A few years after she passed, my sister adopted a puppy, and being a dog aunt has healed my heart once again! I love seeing dogs grow into their own personalities and learn from real world experiences. I feel that helping raise puppies, and continuing to care for them as they age gives me first hand insight on how dogs should be treated for best results: with patience, attention, and compassion. I feel confident giving commands and helping with basic training to puppies and actives, while also being more than happy to sit and chill with others :) Starting in June, I will be off for summer break from my job and will be available almost every day. I have pretty open availability on the weekends and am flexible to change things up. I’m looking forward to having a bit of a mixed schedule and taking things as they go. When sitting in a clients home, I think it’s important to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable since it is their space after all! I will do everything I can to help, whether it’s trying to play or get outside for a walk, but if it’s simply not happening and your pup is feeling nervous about someone they’re unfamiliar with in their home, then I will never push a boundary.

“Dallas did a great job of taking care of my 2 cats while I was. She is very responsible and definitely a cat person. My Romeo took to her immediately. I highly the and will book her again.”

“Michelle was wonderful. I had boarded my cat Roo in the past, but she would be very unhappy for a few days after I'd get her home. I had to be away for a week for a family emergency, and decided to hire a pet sitter to come in twice a day to feed and play with her instead. This was the longest I've had to be away from my cat and Michelle took amazing care of her. Likewise, Roo loved Michelle so much, I've never seen her get so attached to someone so quickly. On her visits she fed, watered, played with her, cleaned her litter box, cleaned up after Roo's water protest and took such great pictures of her. When I returned home, instead of Roo complaining about my absence for a few days, she only complained for a few hours. Such a huge difference and I'll never board her again. Michelle is thorough, responsible and dependable. I will use her again if she's available, and I would recommend her services to others. You cannot go wrong hiring Michelle to watch your pets. They will be safe and well cared for. Thank you again Michelle!”

About: I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds from when I worked at a doggy daycare that prioritized training. I am skilled in walking big leash pullers to dogs that bark at everything! I took several courses/practices in identifying dog body language in order to keep dogs and myself safe/comfortable. I currently work part time/go to school part time however I have plenty of time to care for your pet! Just let me know and we can find a time that works! I live by several parks that are perfect for dog walking, your pet can enjoy a nice scenic change anytime they need to use the bathroom! I currently do not have any dogs in my home so there won’t be any hassle if your dog is more solitary.

“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”

“Jiwan got along great with Codi & Spear and is welcome back anytime. They played and walked together, and she gave them well deserved treats. Great work, Jiwan! We look forward to next time.”

“Emily was wonderful with our 4-month-old Beagle, Toby. She great at playing with dogs and clearly loves animals very much. She was right on time, stayed the full hour, and was great about communicating ahead of the visit. I highly recommend her!”

About: I love animals, and I enjoy providing pets with everything they need to be happy and healthy while their people busy or out of town. I have taken care of a wide variety of animals from dogs and cats, to cows and horses, and walked dogs of all sizes. I am currently a full time collage student, attending both online and in person school. Taking online classes means that I am able to spend more time with your pet. I am available anytime on weekends and Fridays, and before 1:00pm on Thursdays for dog walking. I can provide pet sitting every day of the week except for Thursdays. I can still provide cat sitting on Thursdays, but I will be out of the house for 7 hours which is too long for most dogs. When caring for your pets in your home I try to make them feel comfortable by following their normal routines as much as possible, and reading the needs of the individual pet. I will keep your home clean and safe for your pet during drop-ins and sitting while you are away.

About: Grew up in Hawaii. Had many cats,dogs, goats, pigs, horses, and cows. Ofcourse little ones too, gold fish, fighter fish, swimming frogs, hamsters and guinnipigs. Always loved animals, they are ohana and always need love. I work part time and have a helper with me, so we cand be flexible. My young partner enjoys working with animals and has a soft spot in his heart for all animals Our pets are treated like precious children. We love them and protect them as our own ohana. We can see throught their eyes and see the love they have for you and want to keep them happy till you get back.

“Michelle is wonderful. She was attentive to my kitty while we were gone and also helped with a few light watering chores for my garden. I will definitely have her back.”

“Penny was welcomed by our nervous pup with open paws and lots of slobber. She fit right in with the routine and shared photos. We felt safe, knowing that Chester was cared for in our absence.”

Kimberly H.

“Sarah R. was outstanding. She took the greatest care of my two kitties. She was thoughtful, consistent and followed my 2-page list of directions. I tend to overdo it with guidance, so I was impressed that she followed all of them. I appreciated her responsiveness. She gave me daily updates with pix - even of the cleaned cat boxes. She went above and beyond by vacuuming the areas near the boxes! I will absolutely hire Sarah. R. again. I strongly recommend her.”

Rhonda M.

“Ronda did a great job caring for my pets! I contracted with Ronda to care for my Spaniel, Gracie while I was gone for four days. We did a "meet and greet" prior to Ronda pet sitting and Ronda was very attentive and reassuring during her introduction to my pets. While I hired Ronda to primarily take care of my dog, Gracie, we also have two indoor exotic birds, a fish tank and a chicken in our backyard, I needed these pets to be cared for in my absence as well and Ronda was able to take care of the whole menagerie. She provided plenty of great photos and details of her multiple, daily visits, I was able to relax and enjoy my time away from home knowing that all my pet's needs were being met, I will definitely hire Ronda in the future.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters: We treat every guest dog like part of the family. Rather than just providing supervision, we integrate your dog into our daily routine and pack structure. This means your dog enjoys social time, structured play, and a calm, balanced environment—not just a place to stay. We understand canine body language and pack dynamics, which helps us introduce new dogs smoothly and safely. Whether your pup is full of energy or more reserved, we match their pace and make sure they feel at home. We also have experience with: -Senior dog care, including medication and mobility needs -Dogs with anxiety or who need extra reassurance -Multi-dog households and managing different temperaments We keep you updated with photos and notes, and always aim to return your dog even happier than when they arrived! I do typically work at 10am, so any hand offs after that time do need to be quick but can work. Anything before 10am I do have a bit of time to socialize and give same day tours. Since I work from home with a very flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, scheduled meals, walks, and plenty of cuddle time or one-on-one attention whenever your dog needs it. Your dog will never be left waiting—whether it’s playtime with the pack, quiet rest, or extra snuggles. I’m able to quickly adjust to their needs throughout the day and keep a calm, consistent environment that makes them feel safe and loved. Being home most of the time means your pup will always have companionship and supervision, with frequent updates sent to keep you connected to their day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and sense of belonging are our top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard where all dogs are always supervised during potty breaks and outdoor play. Inside, guest dogs don’t just stay downstairs—they’re fully integrated into our family routine and spend time alongside our boys in all common areas. Crates remain available and are used only if it suits each dog’s comfort and routine. We maintain a spotless environment—blankets, crates, toys, and dog beds are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between visits to ensure every pet has a fresh, safe space. Whether it’s playtime in the living room, cuddles on the couch, or lounge breaks in the quiet corners, your dog will feel like part of the pack in a calm, loving home.

“Samie is one of our favorites to look after our dogs! She responds to inquiries, updates us, sends us pictures. We know that our dogs are well taken cared of whenever she’s around! We are very grateful for Samie!”

“Gema took great care of our little man (17 yr old dachshund/schnauzer rescue). She was sweet, patient, and super communicative while we were out of town. Will definitely welcome Gema back any time!”

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years and have taken care of a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and guinea pigs. I treat my own fur baby, Dexter, like my own child and I will do the same for yours! He’s my best friend, we do everything together & that’s exactly how I will treat your pup or kitty. I would love to take your fur baby on a nature hike, to the local coffee shop for a puppuccino, to a park to play fetch, or even just playing and lounging around the home. I am here to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Whatever works well and best for them. I work a full-time hybrid position, so my schedule can be flexible at times with advanced scheduling. I am typically able to interact with your fur child as much as needed! We can go on a short walk or hang out at home before I go to work, during my lunch break, and after I am off! Weekends are usually wide open availability. I am no longer offering boarding services at my home, however, I would love to check in on your pet at your home as much as needed. Due to having a pup of my own with his own needs, I will not be able to spend the night at your home. Please note, this prior to booking. I am only available for drop-in visits. Drop in visits typically range from 3-7 times per day, depending on your pet’s needs. I want to ensure your pet is comfortable and safe in the comfort of their home.

About: I have always had animals my whole life. The love of my life was an orange tabby named Pumpkin that I had for 17 years. I have always had dogs all shapes and sizes, as well as ferrets, rats and a snake! I am experienced with medication administration for both cats and dogs, injection medications for cats, dietary restrictions, grooming and wound care for animals. I am especially great with senior animals. Let me know what your critters favorite treats are and I will be sure to provide! I am working part-time and available anytime after 10am most weekdays, meaning I can check on your critters or walk your pups during the day. I am very aware of pet behavior. When visiting your home, I will be sure to make sure things are safe and secure for your loved one.

“Melissa did a great job. She communicated well and followed instructions. Easy peasy. I would recommend their services and will gladly use again in the future.”
