About: I grew up with cats. My mom got me my first one when I was in elementary school, and I loved her. Later, in high school, we adopted 2 strays at different times, each with their own interesting personality. I also have experience caring for cats that belonged to neighbors and friends. I'm experienced with caring for both indoor and outdoor cats, and love the unique nature each one brings to the table.

About: I grew up in a house filled with many family dogs of all different shapes, sizes and backgrounds. My grandparent raised me and I helped her look after all of her various animals from a very young age. I had my own Bernese Mt Dog Freya until November 2023, she lived until she was 12.5 years young which was an amazing achievement for her breed, she was the love of my life and hanging out with her was my all time favourite thing to do. I have always been the go to dog sitter for all of my friends and family since I was a teenager, I like to be around dogs as much as possible because they bring so much joy to each day, I have also worked with local dog shelters fostering & walking dogs. When a dog is in my care, they will receive unique care and attention based on their needs, I truly look forward to hanging out with your pup! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I can adjust and accommodate to a dog's specific care needs. I take daily walks with or without a pup in my care but a pup always makes the walk more fun and exciting! My home is set up for dogs due to having my own large dog for the last 10 years as well as many other dog visitors over the years, I live very near to a fantastic park and enjoy walks with pups.
About: Grew up with pitbulls and cats in the house. I really enjoy being around them and they fit into my daily/weekly schedule extremely well. Im never away from the house for more than 4 hours and I walk for 1-3 hours everyday, I have the time to consistently walk the doggies 3-5x everyday. No dog will go without exercise when they stay with me, and if they like to be a couch potato that's ok too, I accommodate to any activity/energy level!
“Mark was awesome, I had a last minute change and he was able to help me and Buddy out. Great communication and follow up. Buddy had a great time. Clean home, friendly and easy to get to - close to the airport if you're flying. I will definitely use Mark when traveling in the Portland area again.”
“Alayna took great care of my pup Johnnie, even when he had a small, unexpected accident at their apartment. She handled things with grace and care. Recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. As a child I grew up raising hunting dogs. In my early teens I raised a Seeing eye dog, which included many training sessions. After that I bred A couple generations of Golden Retrievers. While living in Montana I worked with several breeds ranging from Komondors to Poodles and Bichon Frises. In the last 10 years I have been caring for smaller abused breeds. I cared for a senior abused long haired Chihuahua and now have a little Puggle named Ozzy he is my JOY! I took an early retirement, so I have plenty of time during the day or night to care for your furbaby. I will treat them like my own. I live in a apartment in Slabtown. Plenty of places to walk and parks are close by. Nice neighborhood with lots of trees and other dogs
“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!”

“We are really pleased with our dog’s first stay with Peter and Missy! We appreciated being able to meet them and their sweet dog, Gunner, prior to booking with them. Peter and Missy seem very caring, conscientious and knowledgeable about dog care. After our dog’s visit, we were pleasantly surprised to receive information about our dog’s activities (e.g. map showing where he went on a walk, at what time and distance) and loved the photos! We appreciated them taking such great care of our dog!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been taking care of animals most my life. I am a trusted and reliable pet sitter/friend for many of my friends and family. I do not have pets currently, so this fills my animal cup 💕. I’m currently working from home, so have plenty of time to be with your pet during the week, evenings and weekends. My schedule is flexible so we can get great play and walk time in. I live in an apartment that is safe and secure. While I don’t have a yard, this just means more walks and time playing at the park. I can crate pets as needed, but prefer they have the space to be comfortable in my place. I have a 13yo who is with me part time but is comfortable with animals.
“Xóchitl loved Gabriela. Thank you so much for taking such great care. We got pictures of their walks together. Excellent communication. Highly recommend Gabriela and would definitely have her watch our dog next time we are in town and need a sitter. Mil gracias Gabriela.”
“Grateful to have found Don!! Axle who has a lot of separation anxiety loves going to Don”s house. He heads right in with no hesitation & has a great time with Don, Melody & Cody. He enjoys the walks, ball time, and is comfortable and safe in their environment thank you Don!”
“Lisa and Brian got along amazingly with our two pups! One of our younger dogs can be a lot to love (he thinks he's smaller than he really is) and they embraced him fully. Both dogs returned home tired and happy after a fun day of backyard running and snuggles. Lisa was also super communicative and sent lots of photos. We'll definitely reach out to them again!”
“Sarah was great, Leo had a great time with her. When I picked him up he looked like he had a great time with her and didn’t cause any problems. Sent updates and pictures of Leo during his stay which was great.”
About: Work-at-home semi-retired dog lovers with a fenced yard! Our pup loves company as do we. We enjoy sharing our home with dog and people friendly dog guests. Our daily schedule includes caring for canine family members. We live in the rhythm of caring for a dog's daily needs. Flexible to meet each dog's needs. We have a fenced yard with lots of room for play and lounging around. Our daily routine includes plenty of time for walks and cuddling.
“Kristopher was great! My five year old lab is high energy and not for everyone and he was happy to take her for a very long day for me. When I picked her up she was happy and tired. Plan on using Kristopher again!”

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a small kid. I grew up raising 3 rats, 3 cats, and a Great Pyrenees. I have experience walking neighborhood dogs, as well as taking care of hamsters and cats while their owners were on vacation. I currently have no pets due to my building's rules, so I'd take any excuse to help take care of a fluffy creature. Currently working a reduced amount with most of it being from home, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Free/flexible most hours, besides evening on the weekends(and even then, I could potentially work something out with enough time). I enjoy long walks and exercise, and love playing with animals, so I'm your guy if your dog needs a long walk or an hour of nothing but fetch. I grew up walking a stubborn 100+ lb. dog, so I know how to control them if they get a little too excited sometimes.
“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.”
“Dana is super friendly and our dog, Shasta, instantly loved her. We appreciate Dana’s flexibility and that she took such cute pics of our angel. We would definitely book again with Dana!”
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend. My schedule is very open! I currently see clients on Tuesday afternoons/evenings for an internship, but otherwise my schedule is open and flexible. There are occasional dates where I have other obligations, but I generally am able to work with most schedules. NOTE: Not looking to house sit for longer than 3 days at a time. I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.

“Liliana is lovely and definitely has a connection with dogs. My little dog Nina doesn’t trust people at all and she immediately liked Liliana. I was tied up when she came to walk Nina and Nina barked and then went out with her without any fuss and without me being there! Liliana is professional, friendly and punctual. HIGHLY recommend!! NOTE: I would hire her weekly but my sister offered to help me - it’s not because Liliana isn’t the best!”
“Cindy saved the day for us when we had to find a last minute walker after someone bailed on us. She was super quick to respond and sent plenty of pictures. Thanks again Cindy!”
