“In all my years of owning a dog, I have never EVER found a sitter as good as Keelan and Sabrina. It is evident how deeply they love animals, how much they care about providing a safe home for my little guy, and how much joy they get out of doing what they do. As an anxious mom, I can finally rest easy on trips knowing how happy my dog is to be there, how much fun he’s having, and how well taken care of he is. Keelan and Sabrina are thoughtful, highly communicative (so many great pictures/videos), and have welcomed my little guy right into their family. I am thankful from the bottom of my heart to have found them, and cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“Maisie had a great time with Josh. He was responsive with communication before our first visit and I was comfortable seeing he has had so many repeat customers. I will certainly go back to him when we need any overnight stays.”
“My dog had a great time with Emily and her dog Bowie! Emily provided lots of updates and pictures. He got lots of walks and was able to enjoy her fenced in yard. Olive and Bowie were 2 peas in a pod by the end 🩷. I definitely recommend booking with Emily, especially if you have a nervous dog that needs some extra love. Thank you for making Olives first night away so enjoyable for everyone! Kaitlin”

“Veronica is very sweet. She was very nice to my dog. Her 2 dogs are very friendly and seems like my dog had a great time at Veronica’s house. I will ask her again. I do strongly recommend her to all dog owners.”

“John took a late booking to stay with our three cats for the weekend, and we are so pleased that he did! John was communicative in the booking process, scheduled a meet and greet that worked well for our schedule, came prepared, took notes, and immediately spoke cat language, putting us at ease. John gave fun updates, and enjoyed snuggles with our kitties. When we came home our kitties were relaxed and happy, clearly well cared for and attended to. The house was in great shape, respected and cared for. We will call on John again!”
“Devin has been great with my cat Piper. Piper can be finicky and not the easiest to take care of. Thanks for the communication with updates and being available for questions and concerns. I appreciate it.”
“Robin was excellent! Totally professional, communicative and kind. My cats were initially stressed when I went away and Robin handled it expertly, with total empathy and the cats warmed up quickly. I appreciated the frequent pictures and updates. I would definitely hire Robin again!”
“Karly goes above and beyond to take care of my kitties while I am away! I work wildfire assignments and am gone for long durations of time, but feel comfortable and confident that my girls are always well taken care of with her!”

“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.”

“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!”
“Devin was great with my puppy. Found out that my pup has a little bit of separation anxiety, but Devin managed to keep her distracted with walks and play time. Very happy with our experience. Will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Christopher was great! He was easy to communicate with and gave Change lots of great walks and burned out a lot of his energy. Would definitely recommend and book with him again when in Portland.”
“What a lovely experience. I feel like my dog was cherished, which is a wonderful feeling to get from a dog sitter. I'd happily let Anastasia watch Tucker anytime and would absolutely recommend her if you're looking for a sitter.”
About: I have over 15 year's experience caring for cats and dogs. I am reliable and very detail oriented to ensure pets are safe and happy. I am currently on a pension, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have reliable transportation and can be reached by cell anytime. My home is safe and welcoming for pets in my care. I am also very comfortable with dropping in your home to provide pet care.
“Mark is so great! My dog has severe anxiety and separation anxiety, so I'm always worried about having people watch her since I know the type can very difficult for people to handle. I explained my dogs issues with Mark and did a meet and greet, he was very friendly and more than happy to accommodate my sweet dog. Apparently she did very well and they went on some great walkies. :)”
“Michael was a lifesaver today on Super short notice (my sitter cancelled last minute) he was very quick to reply, extremely friendly and professional, but best of all.. my dogs absolutely Loved him. I have an English bulldog w anxiety/separation issues and a mix doodle who is shy and full of energy at the same time. When I picked them up both were happy and my bulldog ran back for more scratches and play. That said everything i needed to know.. Will Def be rebooking next time I'm in town. Thank you again Michael!!”
“Very impressed with the genuine care and communication from Zo. My dog Bodhi can be rather anxious, so I was rather worried about how he would do meeting Zo for the first time. I had visions of him pacing around and barking. Instead I received pictures of him totally chilled out, relaxing and napping in the sunshine Highly recommend.”
“While we were on a road trip and in Portland just for the day, Lyle watched our dog so we could go to OMSI and Powell’s, etc. We booked last minute and Lyle even helped us with directions to his place. Our dog was happy when we picked him up, but also had a ton of energy so I’m not sure if he got much exercise while there. But I’m glad he had a place to wait and potty breaks.”
About: While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, I have experience dog sitting for family and friends pets. I work from home and am able to take your furry friend out and about for potty breaks throughout the work day. After work I love taking long walks through the city and I can’t wait to have company if your pet is up for it! Dogs have been a part of my life since I was little and I have always consider them family. Pets are encouraged to snuggle up next to me on the couch while I’m working and in bed for the night. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion! I am a work from home gal who is able to take your pet out for frequent potty breaks. I am available for care 7 days a week. I live in an apartment but indoor play and long walks are a specialty of mine. Dogs can expect unlimited cuddles and walks to burn energy.
“Craig gave our pup the exercise and the attention she needs. She came home happy everyday! He also worked with her on her lease pulling and gave me some tips. Thanks Criag!”
“Chica had a great visit for the day! Rossana was very attentive and provided a safe, clean (and spacious) environment. Chica is still getting used to be left with other people and this was a very positive experience for her.”
About: Certified helicopter dog mom here who will dote on your pet! I've had dogs for the past 16 years, spent time volunteering for endless adoption events and shelter visits, and am Red Cross certified in pet first aid and CPR. Seven years of pro pet care has allowed me to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages, from 5lb to 100lb, from babies to seniors. I've also been trusted with many cats and even rats, bunnies and a lizard! I'm always easy to reach and and can't resist a cute pet selfie, so you will get plenty of photo updates of your dog's stay with me! I have a super flexible schedule so feel free to reach out! I am a full-time freelancer, primarily in design and film, with pet care being my secondary gig. I typically make my own schedule and have long periods of open availability interspersed with intensely busy periods. You should know: because I live alone, my dog Teddy comes along on my overnight dog sitting bookings. He is very chill, respectful and easy tempered and I have never had a problem having him in other homes! At my place, I definitely let the pets rule the home and enjoy snoozing on the bed and couch. I do not have a fenced yard, so we will always be on leash for potty breaks in the back courtyard area or full walks. I typically do not do off leash dog parks until I have established trust with your dog, and feel strongly about strict safety rules for females in heat. In your home, I’ll defer to your rules!
“Emily did a great job watching our 9 month old lab, Bruno, for the day while we had out of town guests. She is so calm, friendly and professional, I knew he would be in good hands. There was one other playful dog staying with her and Bruno had a great time, while Emily's 11 year old Lab, Lola, sweetly watched over the proceedings. Bruno came home tired and happy, and we got to enjoy a day out with visiting friends. I would highly recommend Emily, she is great!”

“Carlie has been really awesome with dog walking for my pup, Gus, during the work day. Gus is reactive towards other 4-legged creatures, and Carlie has been doing a great job with giving him quality walks while managing their encounters with others. Carlie has also been consistent time-wise and reliable so far.”
“Natasha is so wonderful! She has been nothing but patient, consistent, and persistent with my unpredictable dog. She has put extra time in to training sessions (with a professional trainer I hired) and has effectively put into practice what she learned during those sessions to better build her relationship with my dog. Her daily reports are always detailed and her communication is always timely. I wish we could take her with us when we move. Natasha has truly been a huge help, and is flexible with my ever changing schedule.”
“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”
“We are so stoked to have found Austin for our dog River! He’s dependable and kind, active and responsible. Our boy gets in a long walk around lunchtime thanks to him. Can’t appreciate Austin enough!”
“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Felicia was so kind and patient with our nervous pup! She took the time to come meet us before the first walk and on the day of the walk spent a few extra minutes with Mocha to let her warm up to her before they started the walk. Felicia took lots of pictures and was a great communicator!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’ve had experience doing jobs dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding since I was 12. I love animals and animals tend to love me too! I am currently stay-at-home, looking for a remote job so I can continue looking after my pets and hopefully yours. I am flexible and available on weekends. I have occasional trips home to see my family, but other than that I don’t travel that much. Every pet has its own personality and my care tends to match that, as well as the pets needs. One of the dogs I used to walk loved having a chance to sprint in circles over and over. I tailored her walks to go to a nearby, dog-friendly, fenced in park so she could get out all her wiggles before we walked back home.
“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”
“Ivory goes above and beyond to give our pups a great walk and attention while we are at work. Both dogs happy and tired in the evening. Ivory is quick to communicate with us and takes great pictures of dogs each walk. We highly recommend Ivory!”
About: Hi there! I've had pets most of my life: mice, guinea pigs, and kitties, and I've even taken care of horses a bit. I've not owned a pup but watched dogs for friends and family, including boarding them at my home and taking them on hikes. I have a fairly flexible schedule, and for your home sitting needs I'd be happy to lend my green thumb to your house plants, too. Please reach out to see if I can help you with your unique needs. I am taking a break from a very stressful career and would be happy to fit your four legged family into my very flexible schedule. I'm here for you and your pet, and I want to keep them safe and happy. I'll talk to you to learn of their unique needs and will be observant and responsible when you're not around.
“Hannah is responsive and easy to work with around scheduling walks. Most important though is that she really appreciates and gets joy from taking out my furry child. I've had to transition to going back into the office for work and it really helps to know that my pup is in good hands for walkies.”
“Shad was a kind, courteous dog walker for my fussy angel Lunchbox. Great communicator, understood my dogs needs, and responsible. Added bonus was he worked around my mobility following a surgery which was an extra kind aspect of working with Shad. Highly recommend!”
“We are so pleased to have connected with Mathew. Jack seems to really like him and he was actually tired after yesterday’s walk! That’s rare. Looking forward to more walks with Mat.”
“Ursula was great! She was super quick to respond, took the time to do a meet&greet, asked great questions, and sent a lot of cute photos + a detailed report card from her walk with Cujo. Would absolutely recommend her and book with her again - thank you, Ursula!”

It was clear that she took the time to get to know Jayda and made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. We’re so grateful for her kindness and would absolutely trust her again in the future! Thank you so much, Madeline!”
“I can’t recommend Leah and Chris enough! They were so incredibly thoughtful in getting to know our dog, Indy, and her needs before her stay. They were also very easy to communicate with, so friendly and very accommodating. We received the most amazing pictures of her while we were gone and also updates about her days & how she was doing. We know she was so well cared for and can’t wait for her to spend time with them again!”
“Marybeth and family took good care of our dog Toby for a week. I believe Toby had as good a vacation as we did! He got to play with Zoey and keep an eye on the cats. He spent time relaxing on the back deck watching the chickens. Working out the details with Marybeth was easy and she's quick to respond. She's obviously good with animals.”
