“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance.

“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”
“Our little senior doxie, Rocky, spent 2 weeks with Barbara and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Barbara gave him lots of love and cuddles, and they spent some time watching Dodger baseball together. Rocky can’t wait for the next time he can spend time with Barbara 😊”

Would highly recommend and would hope to be able to use her services again!”
“Catherine sent frequent, detailed updates to let me know how everything was going. She’s a genuine dog lover and I felt comfortable knowing she was caring for my pup!”

“Charles was amazing! He truly loves cats and even our shy one warmed up. Responsible, on time, great at communicating and sending pics. He even cleaned the litter box and Gus’s broken dishes!”
“Karly was absolutely wonderful!! My love and I were a bit nervous leaving our cat with someone new for the first time but Karly made sure that our girl was loved and cared for during our long week trip. We highly recommended Karly for all pet care needs. We are so relieved to have found a great neighbor that will help take care of our girl while we are away. Plus, she has a new best friend! Thank you for being the best, Karly!!”
“Raven was a great choice for our cat sitting needs! She is friendly and kind, prompt with messaging and sent photos while we were away – exactly what we were hoping for in a sitter.”
“Maddy was communicative, professional, and easy to coordinate with. We appreciate that she took the time to learn the specific needs of our cats and her consistent and confident presence while we were on vacation was reassuring.”
“Kathy did a fantastic job watching our cat, Lilly. She gave descriptive check-in notes which were very comforting while we were away. Lilly normally gets quite lonely while we are gone and she seemed very content when we returned!”
“Another wonderful visit with Kristen! My cat is so wary of strangers and I can tell how at ease she put him through the videos she sent. Kristen went above and beyond keeping my cat company, playing with him, and cleaning up after him. Her updates were always a delight to read. Thank you so much!!”
“ChristyLynn, did a great job! She always sent me updates and pictures with each visit. Felt relt really secure with her in taking care of my cats during visits. Totally recommend her with cat care.”
“Just starting using Rover and Colby, my first time. Impressed by the prompt communication, updates, pictures if my dogs. Also, punctual. Thank you!”
“This was our first time booking with Sequoia and we had a lovely time! Sequoia was communicative, very respectful of our kitties boundaries (they can be a bit shy at first) and always kept their safety and well-being at the top of mind! We could especially see this with how quickly they both warmed up and started to not be as shy during the visits. We got so many pictures which was amazing and good details of the drop ins. We appreciated Sequoia's support and kindness so much!”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Ellen is THE BEST! I was so worried about leaving my angsty teenage cat home alone for several days. He is quite attached to me and his regular sitter moved away so I worried how he would adapt. Ellen sent me daily updates that were very thorough so I could gauge how my cat was acting and he warmed up to her within a day or so. She knew his quirks and needs and she outdid herself when it came to cleaning litter and food chores. She is such a kind person and I didn't worry once during my trip - it was such a relief! We will definitely be booking with Ellen again. Thank you, Ellen!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, and since 2020 I have owned many species of reptiles and amphibians. Currently, I own two cats, two dogs, a Kenyan sand boa, a Brazilian rainbow boa, a leopard gecko, and three spiders. I also have experienced caring for animals with specialized care and for seniors. I’m a currently a student at Portland State, but this summer my schedule is pretty flexible! I am available most weekdays in the afternoon, and almost every weekend. I spend time trying to get to know each animal and their personalities and tailor my approach for every client. I am also able to accommodate specific requests for special needs animals.
“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”
“Erika was a godsend. She looked after my kitty twice daily while we were on vacation at the coast. We received pictures from every visit that brought so much relief and confidence that my cat was being very well cared for. Erika went above and beyond in her visits and fed my koi and watered all of my potted flowers pants in the backyard. I highly highly recommend Erika. She’s a gem!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ardenwald
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“Kristopher was awesome taking in our puppy who had not stayed at daycare before. We had previously tried to take him in to a daycare facility but he was so scared, he would not go in since there were so many loud dogs there. He absolutely loves Kristopher and is always so excited to see him each day we drop him off. One day our puppy got muddy while in his care and he even gave him a bath! We will keep going to Kristopher for doggy daycare as long as he lets us! Thank you so much for being so awesome!”
“Sequoia took very good care of our anxious pup to make him feel right at home. She provided great photos and thorough details from the day. We will gladly have our Bruce stay with her again!”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“Hanna and Blake took great care of our young puppy Lucy! Lucy did 3 consecutive days of doggie daycare with Hanna and we knew she had a great time as she came home tired and was eager to go back each day. We will use Hanna again for sure.”
“Allen has been the best caretaker for my Mini-Aussie, Mikka! We had a very thorough meet-and-greet for all questions and to meet his beautiful pup, Kaya. Mikka has spent the day with them 2 times now while I go to work and Mikka is now "a regular" every week. She has developed few anxiety issues during the pandemic and can be a bit reactive around other dogs, so I've been very hesitant about doggy day care in any other capacity, but Allen has listened to my concerns and been extremely careful with keeping an eye on her or introducing her to any other dog he's watching or who is using the magical little private gated dog park behind his house. He's been super helpful in correcting some of her behavior issues (like a very loud persistent bark that has made me crazy!), sends photos and updates frequently, and is very quick to communicate even in between stays. I'm so relieved my anxious dog is getting playtime and has such good care that I can trust every Tuesday, and she's making new dog friends finally. Thank you, Allen!”
“Tommy is very friendly (to me and my dog). I really appreciated the flexibility of his schedule, because I had to drop Cornelius off very early in the morning. The pictures that Tommy sent me looked like Cornelius was comfortable and happy with his new dog friends. Tommy was communicated great with me, always responding to my messages right away.”
“Cathy was absolutely wonderful not only did she take Sheldon into her home he felt it home, but she has a nice patio and she took him out for a walk all for a four hour visit. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s a very loving, kind and compassionate individual to get five stars, but I’d give her six if there were six stars available. Thank you, Cathy”
“She was able to take care of my pups short notice. She provided lots of pics. I am traveling and my pups were very nervous about everything. They handled it very well and I'm sure Maggie made it easy!”
“Miss Pickles and Ginger had a wonderful day with Amber. They must have played hard because as soon as we picked them up and got them in the car, they fell sound asleep. Amber was very easy to communicate with and fast with her responses during the scheduling process. We will definitely use Amber again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I grew up in an animal loving family and as a mother of two I have passed the love for dogs, particularly, down to my own kids. We know that our pets are family members and understand that their well-being, happiness, and comfort is of utmost importance! I am the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I have cared for everything from puppies to seniors. Our family is a safe haven for your dog and you can rest assured that they are getting the attention, care, and respect they individually need. I work from home. My rescue dog is by my side all day. He’s the sweetest guy who gets along with any and all dogs. Any age, breed, or gender is welcome. The pups have attentive attention, full reign of our cozy home with doggy door, ample fenced backyard, and friendly neighborhood to walk, if desired! Dogs like their routine and I am understanding of adhering to any restrictions or schedules needed.
“Lisa & Brian are super nice, friendly people who kept our 3 pups for the day while we did some sightseeing on our way through Portland. They had great communication with us throughout the entire time, sent pics of the pups enjoying their yard and home. I would definitely use them again if I ever need a puppy daycare in Portland!”
“Margaret is the best! This was Bertie’s first time at all-day care, and it was such a positive experience. We are delighted to meet Margaret and look forward to more fun times!”
“Catherine is super knowledgeable about pups (and even did extra research on our puppy’s breed). Poppy felt comfortable at the meet and greet and seemed to fit right in with Jack and Daisy. She had a great time and I felt confident that she was well cared for.”
About: My husband and I have taken care of animals of all sizes and ages. Each pet has its unique lovable qualities. We wish we could have more full time but are doing this instead We work from home so we will always be home with your pet! Our dog Lilo and cat Jack will also keep your pets company. We have a fully fenced front and back yard. We have an easygoing 3 year old dog who is eager to make friends and a cat that enjoys playing with other pets (on his terms)
“Bridgitte is always great with our little rescue dog. We always get pictures of them out taking walks, and she takes our dog out to public places like restaurants which is good for her socialization. Bridgitte is super friendly and personable, and couldn't be easier to work with.”
“Susie has been a wonderful caretaker for our dog during the day. Her experience was evident upon arriving for the first session and we couldn’t be happier to have found her.”
“Serena is great! I love that whenever I leave Theo in her care, I know he’s going to get nice and tired playing with Nugget, and I appreciate the updates I get throughout the day. 10/10 definitely recommend and we will keep coming to Serena!”
“Veronica took excellent care of our 13.5 year old Penny Lane. She took her on a walk with her pups and sent multiple photos throughout the day which we so appreciated. Veronica is a conscientious person who understands dog behavior. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Veronica to look after Penny Lane again in the future. Thank you, Veronica!”
“In my first time connecting with Damon, he made me feel like we have been working together for a while now. He provided great feedback, photos and made me feel very comfortable on switching sitters. I would recommend Damon to anyone.”
“Lauren is great! My dog loved her, and she was very considerate of his nervousness and followed our care instructions perfectly to make him comfortable. Her communication is quick, and we’re so happy she was available to watch our puppy! Two thumbs up!!!!”

“Tommy continues to provide excellent care to my elderly dog. Such a nice dude, super reliable, great communication, and good with George. We are unbelievably lucky to have found Tommy!!!”
“Nathan was an ideal dog walker, reliable, punctual, communicative and flexible/considerate to our needs. He made our lives much less stressful for the month he walked our dog. Our dog loved him and we would hire him again in a heartbeat!”
“Tanja again was able to help us out last minute when our pups were having GI issues and my bf was not able to take them out for walks. Thank you for the detailed reports on how they did and pics from each walk!”
“Kiley is super nice. Exceeded expectations on our dog walks and had great questions at our meet and greet. Shows she really cares and wants to provide excellent care.”
“I don't have enough good things to say about Colby!! He walks my dog for me and just goes above and beyond for her. I've never used a dog walker before and was nervous to try it out and Colby just made the whole process so smooth and reassuring for me. He has excellent communication and sends cute photo updates. It's everything to me to know my baby is in good hands!”
About: Loved and cared for my dog for 15 years but she has sadly passed; I also regularly dog-sit for friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy taking them for walks, on hikes, or playing at the park. I work well with any type of dog personality, high energy or shy. Whether your dog just needs a stop in visit or a walk, I will spend my time bonding with your pet and making sure that he/she is comfortable around me. My goal is to make a new furry friend and give it the attention and love it is missing while you are away from home! I will provide endless amounts of belly rubs and attention; it probably brings me just as much happiness as it does your pet! I can guarantee at least one really cute photo of your pet (most likely more) :)
About: Hello👋 I would love to walk your dog on Mondays and maybe the weekend! If you live very close, I might be open to cat sitting as well! Unfortunately, life circumstance limits other opportunities at the moment. I have worked in the veterinary field for the past 8 years and have pet sat countless pets when I lived in Corvallis previously. I graduated with a b.s in zoology at OSU so you can say that animals are my life. I have an 8y/o German Shepherd husky mix, Grayson, and have grown up with large to giant breed dogs, some of whom were reactive. Hence, I am comfortable walking any size dog. Grayson is dog friendly (occasionally selective) if you ever wanted your dog to walk with a friend but not needed. I work 4 10s but have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to walk your dog. I can possibly cat sit if you live very close. Mondays are the most ideal day to walk your dog. I will treat your pet like the special and cute babies they are. I am very receptive to following through on training you have been working on with your dog on walks.
“Teryx loves Karly and her dog Nova. Karly has always been very dependable and gives us pertinent updates on Teryx’s behavior. We trust that she deeply cares for our dog and understands our needs as dog owners, too. We are lucky to have Karly to be around our dog regularly.”
About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Shianne was fantastic! This was our second booking with Shianne and our dog was so happy to see her! Shianne has everything we would want in a dog walker - clear communication, patience and skill with dogs, warmth and professionalism. I'll definitely look to Shianne any time I can't walk my own dog in the future.”
“My young dog really liked walking with Margaret. Margaret was reliable, positive and encouraging with my energetic dog, and I really appreciated the help during a time of necessary rest.”
“Seth was incredibly patient with my anxious pup who gets stressed around new people. He clearly has a strong understanding of working with dogs and he developed a lot of trust with my dog in a short period of time. His daily updates and pictures were much appreciated. He even did some training with my pup as a way to build trust and confidence in her. We can’t wait to hire Seth again!”
“I am so fortunate to have met Sequoia! My dog absolutely loves her. Not only does my very energetic and young dog get lots of good walks, Sequoia has incorporated tidbits of training during the time she spends with her. This makes for a happier dog, no doubt. Thanks Sequoia!”
About: I have been a certified veterinary technician for 6 years. I've been taking care of pets ranging from fish, reptiles, dogs, and cats for pretty much my entire life! I also worked as a positive reinforcement dog trainer for a couple years while in tech school. As a veterinarian technician, I feel confident administering medications, am comfortable with animals with medical conditions, and also know dog/cat CPR. I also have experience with fearful or reactive animals. I no longer work in a veterinary hospital so I able to spend as much time w your pets as needed. I am currently open to booking any day of the week and can stay overnight. While I'm at home I am always cuddled up with one of my pets and it would be no different in your home! As a pet sitter/walker, my goal is to give your pets the attention they want and follow the routine you have. I want their time away from you to be as stress free as possible. I do not let pets under my care socialize with unknown animals or people. I also do not do off leash activities unless in a fenced in area.
“Rowan is super kind and reliable. Our pets both liked him inmediately, plus he dealt with an 80+ lbs recently adopted lab who pulls pretty hard and has SO much energy super well. Very appreciated!”

“They are the nicest people and treated Tom as if he was their own. They kept sending pics of Tom having the best time, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation.”
“Tommy was great with Jolene! Before I left her at his place for daycare, we had a meet and greet in the park with his dog Omar and they got along great! Tommy was also very communicative and flexible when my plans changed and I had to move my daycare date around. He was also helpful making sure she got out during the day for a walk and fed her dinner before I picked her up. You can tell he is a real dog lover and dogs love him in return! I'll definitely be using Tommy again and would recommend him if you are looking for someone to take care of your pups.”
