“Dahlia & her partner Nic were fantastic watching my senior dog. My dog has some quirks and special needs in her old age (medication, eating schedule, etc) but Dahlia was unphased and accommodating. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing my dog was in such great care. Our flight was delayed one hour returning from our trip, and Nic was so kind to stay up the extra hour so we could still pick our dog up on the planned night. Thank you, Dahlia & Nic!”
“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.”
“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Linda is the best with our funny and sensitive little dog! She sends us photos and updates daily, and seems to spoil her. We feel lucky and grateful for Linda!”
“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.”

“Dan took care of my dog for 3 overnights. He is very prompt with communication and sends daily message and photo updates. This was the first time that we’ve left her with someone that was not immediate family. The meet-n-greet, drop-off, and pick-up we’re all on our timing and very convenient. She made a doggy friend while with Dan and that brought comfort to us. We would book with him again.”
“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.”
“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”
“I was very excited to find Rosemary, after my original Rover sitter cancelled on me. We did a Meet and Greet beforehand, and Rosemary was so warm and friendly. I immediately felt at ease, and assured that the dogs would be in good hands. From beginning to end, Rosemary was very communicative, responded quickly, and followed up when she said she would. She sent updates and pics of how the dogs were doing during their stay. Rosemary understood the needs of our dogs. We will definitely use Rosemary in the future. She is a breath of fresh air, and a great sitter!”
“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 😊”
“Allen was super accommodating and sent constant updates to us to help us feel comfortable and assured that Pax was happy. Allen has a great outdoor space that has a semi private fenced in dog park where dogs can roam and romp. Thanks Allen! Pax loved it there!”
“My dog always has a great time with Josh. I really appreciate the pickup and dropoff service. Not only is it convenient for me, but I think it is less anxiety-inducing for my dog as well. I'm not abandoning her in a strange place - she's going on an exciting adventure with her buddy, leaving me safe at home (as far as she knows) where she doesn't have to worry about me. It's great for both of us.”

“Ann is a senior cat whisperer!! She took wonderful care of our two senior cats who have many medication needs and eating trickiness. She sent daily updates with pictures and text to let us know how things were going. We felt lucky to have her help and would definitely ask her to watch them again. Thanks ann!!”
“Mary took excellent care of out cats while we were away. Her presence was so calming that our cat that usually runs and hides from visitors, eventually stayed in her cat tree upon Mary's arrival, instead of bolting upstairs. We considered it a huge success for our little Tortie Buddy. Mary has great communication, and I appreciate all of the effort she puts into finding our expert hider, and the great pictures she shares each visit.”
“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.”
“Christopher continues to be my most reliable catsitter. He is communicative, thoughtful, and problem-solving (when my cat seemed anxious, he deduced the likely source and took care of it). I would highly recommend him.”
“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!”

“Alison did a great job taking care of my cats! She's very responsive and easy to communicate with, and my cats loved playing with her. Definitely will be reaching back out for future trips”

“Gera was so great! Reliable, thorough and trustworthy. My shy kitty even warmed up to her. I love the updates and photos she sent. I will definitely book her again.”
“Absolutely amazing sitter. My cat was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for when I got home. She sent lots of updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind, and she even left cat TV on for him. The house was spotless I genuinely couldn’t even tell someone had been there. I’m a very anxious/needy cat mom and she made me feel reassured the entire time. I’m beyond grateful and would trust her again in a heartbeat.”
“Holden took care of our cats while we were away for the week. They were easy to reach, very responsive, and made sure our cats were safe and sound. Highly recommend! Will book again!”
“Charlie was great! Our cats and chickens were in great hands, and we received updates throughout. Charlie even picked up a rogue poop from our diva cat. 😂 We will definitely be reaching out again for all pet sitting needs.”
“Susan was a wonderful pet sitter for our cat while we were away! She gave us updates and photos each time she visited, and we could tell that our cat enjoyed spending time with her. Susan did a great job following the instructions we'd left, and we'd absolutely trust her to watch our cat again in the future! Very thankful to have found Susan.”
“Absolutely perfect! Came by to pick up keys and meet my cat before my trip and get the layout of where things were kept. She always sent new photos of the visits which was great, I already know I will be working with Evita again for any future trips out of town if I can! Thank you again so so much for taking care of Gaia, she truly loved your company.”
“Kai is the best! Thank you for taking such good care of my girl, including giving her meds and keeping her well-fed. We’ll definitely book again, she adores you :)”
“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“Molly was great! She kept in regular communication and provided updates and pictures which was greatly appreciated. My cat is very standoffish with new people but she came around to Molly and seems to have enjoyed her company and care. Thanks again!”
“Jourdan was able to help with a last minute drop in that allowed me to take care of some time sensitive family matters. Her communication, knowledge, and care went above and beyond. I was able to do what I needed to do, while also knowing my diabetic cat was in the best hands possible. Thank you again, Jordan!”

“Our pup Kya had a great time staying with Allen and his dog! This was Kya's first time staying at someone else's house without us so we were a little nervous, but Allen made Kya feel right at home. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the evening, and she certainly made herself comfortable. We will definitely be leaving Kya with Allen again in the future!”
“Tommy was extremely communicative and provided a lot of good updates and photos during my dog's stay! You can tell he's really good with dogs and loves to be with them. Absolutely recommend Tommy to anyone in downtown PDX!”
“Sarah was a great sitter for my dog Rosie. Rosie was so excited to come back every morning for daycare, and Rosie and Ellie were fast friends. We will definitely book with Sarah again in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Chris has been amazing with my dog Bailey! Sends great updates and Bailey is SO excited to see him and go on long walks. Definitely will be using Chris again!”
“Emily is the best! She took great care of my fur baby with updates and was even super patient with the nervous barking she does when meeting someone new. I really recommend her for great care, where you know there won’t be any worries. My dachshund usually doesn’t eat dinner when meeting someone new or walk well on a leash but she ate her dinner and was walking happily & even napped.”
“Kris is always knowledgeable flexible and personable. He has a great love for dogs and it shows his daughter and he even play piano for the dogs..My babies are always well taken care of and I have no worries that they are always in good hands. Thank you Kris! Youre the best”

“Love to go to Allison for daycare stays! She is very organized and a great communicator. She is incredibly attentive with the differing mix of pups each day. Athena always comes back happy and well exercised!”
“Cynthia was great! She sent us a photo in the first hour of the stay letting us know that Laika was doing well, and kept us updated throughout the stay. Laika looked like she had a great time, came back home and was just her normal self! Cynthia was very caring and thoughtful throughout the experience, and I'd recommend her!”
“Margaret was an excellent sitter - extremely diligent and flexible. She sent me photos of Lana playing with the other pups and kept me informed the whole stay. Would definitely recommend Margaret!”

You have made my Oregon experience so much better! Youre the Best!”
“Ava is a gem! Super communicative, flexible, and caring. Very convenient to downtown Portland / Pearl District / Goose Hollow / Nob Hill. She met with me and my pup before our day care booking with her sweet Golden Retriever ‘Lila - I immediately noticed how well cared for and well mannered her pup is, which is in my opinion a very good sign of her care and dedication. Moseley can be anxious with new environments and being away from his people at first, she gave him love and helped him calm into his day with her and took him on a nice walk. Would absolutely book again!”
“Sequoia took great care of my 1 year old Great Pyrenees puppy, providing good communication. My pup came home happy and tired from playing with her canine pals. Will book again!”
“Catherine was great with our pup! We were traveling from out of state and needed someone to hang out with our puppy while we attended a soccer game in Portland. Great communication, provided pictures while she was watching our pup, and did great with our high energy dog! Would highly recommend and would use again if we are in Portland again!”

“My dog is getting up in years and some days has energy and some days wants to take it slow. I can always count on Tayla to be sensitive to her needs each day and tailor her walk. I couldn’t be happier with her sensitivity and kindness to my dog.”
“Best dog walker ever. So grateful my dog has such a caring and wonderful buddy to take her on walks while I’m at work. Highly recommend Alicia, especially for anxious dogs like mine :)”

“Tommy is with his weight in gold! Flexible schedule, always reliable, thorough communication. He also knows how to handle my reactive dog and takes the time to work on training with him, and it shows in my dog’s behavior.”
“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.”
“I give Ursula 5 stars and this is not something I would do typically this early in the services you guys are providing but my Barney spotted her in my parking lot and I cracked open the window so he could get her scent and bam ! He immediately loved her,no matter who it is Barney will bark at any one coming up my stairs and he did not Bark when Ursula came up AND he whimpered when she left. She updated me every step of the way with multiple pictures and lastly she has gave me peace of mind so i can focus on work .”
About: Hi! My name’s Camryn, but most people call me Cami. Like the title says- I’m here to become your pet’s new best friend. I’m a professional, reliable, and responsible caretaker. I have multiple years’ experience watching dogs of all sizes, along with cats. My current lifestyle isn’t suitable for a pet of my own, so I’m here to love your pets like they’re mine in the meantime! Rover is simply my outlet. My 9-5 keeps me busy and pays my bills, but pet sitting brings me joy, keeps me active, and pays for my shopping addiction 😉 Questions? Interested in setting up a meet & greet? Don’t hesitate to reach out! I typically work 8-5 Monday through Friday and fully in-person (in SE Portland). For any Friday sits, I’m typically not available until after 5 pm. I’m located near multiple parks and am in a very walkable neighborhood, so I can help your pup burn off some energy by going for a walk or run with them. There’s LOTS of dogs in my neighborhood and apartment complex, so in-home boarding likely wouldn’t be a good fit for reactive dogs.
“Mat was super great to work with. I dog Jackson really liked him and enjoyed their daily walks together while I was out of town. Mat was super responsive and sent lots of great pictures about his adventures with Jackson. Will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: Hello! Give me a reason to be outside and to bring your pup with me! I grew up with a veterinarian for a dad so I’m no stranger to critter care and maintenance. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Chihuahua (I’ve owned two of each!) I’m ready to go strolling with them! Also very comfy with cats. I am busy busy with work but looking to fill in some of my down time with pet walks and check ins. I have a fluctuating schedule and am available and random times. I am unable to provide pet care in my home. As for entering an animals space, I proceed with friendly caution and follow cues of the animal. Safety for all is #1!
“Took great care of my cat while I was away, playing with her, petting her, feeding her and taking her for walks. Sent me lots of pictures so I could see that Smudge was healthy and happy. Would definitely hire again.”

Would highly recommend and would hope to be able to use her services again!”
“I was in dire need for someone to watch my dog Tanner. Amanda and her family excepted him for me at the last minute. He did very well at there place, and I am very confident that he will continue to do well there, as I will continue to bring him to there house Thank you again for all your help and support.”
“We hit the jackpot with Zo and Margaret!!! My girl is timid, has a sensitive tummy, and goes on a hunger strike every time I leave. Not only did Margaret and Zo treat her like the queen she is, they loved and pampered her like their own. I came home to a relaxed pup who was hesitant to leave (why would she want to?!)! There are no words adequate enough to convey my gratitude to Zo and Margaret. Their excellent care of my girl, their timely communication, and their highly evident love of animals allowed me to relax and enjoy a trip with my family. I am forever grateful!”
“This was Henry’s third stay with Ron and Henry was clearly happy to see him when we dropped him off. As always, when we picked him up he seemed happy and was obviously well cared for. Ron has a great, calm demeanor that makes Henry comfortable immediately. So glad to have a sitter we can trust!”

Couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with Maggie the next time we’re out of town.”
“Went on a 3-week vacation without any worries as I knew Dash was in good hands with Tommy. Tommy was great at providing regular updates and communicated with me throughout the entire trip despite the time difference. Dash receive his daily exercise and social play. He came back happy, calmer, and way better at potty training. There are many caregivers out there but Tommy will take care of your baby like his own.”
