“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.”

“Julie and Barry have been watching our little Cadi for a few years now. They give her all the love and care she needs. She's fussy about her food and loves lots of attention. She can be quite needy. They are so patient and loving with her. Cadi loves staying with them. They are the best!”

“Devin is an awesome dog sitter. My 9 month old had a great time. I loved the updates that she sent me. It really put me at ease and made my vacation more enjoyable.”

“Gabriela was a great sitter for my 11 year old pup Rigo. She was responsive and friendly. She sent pictures of their walks together and made sure to keep me updated. My boy is a bit picky and she went above and beyond getting him to eat. I would request her to watch my pup again in the future!”

“Overall, had a really great experience leaving my pup with Araceli! I happened to be gone two weekends in a row and I was really grateful to be able to have my dog in the same place. He really enjoyed playing with their dog and in their big yard! The only bummer is that both weekends I asked Araceli to give my puppy a specific supplement after dinner and that didn’t happen, even after I reminded her for the second weekend. She is very sweet and would work with her again!”

“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.”


“I had to leave my cat for a week while traveling for work and she did great. Leah & Chris are amazing and the cat room that they have set-up made Ellee feel at home. Thanks so much for taking such good care of Ellee, Leah & Chris!!”

“Laura was so amazing!! We left our 4 month old puppy with her and she was extremely accommodating. She communicated with us throughout the whole process and even sent us updates, since our 5 year old son was pretty concerned about leaving his best friend with a stranger. I felt very comforted knowing Sylvie was in great hands. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Brooke is wonderful, she is so easy to communicate with and sent lots of pics and videos! Can’t recommend her enough, would definitely have Scout stay with her again!”

“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”

“Bentley can get really nervous around new people but immediately warmed up to Sandy. He was exhausted when he came home so I knew he had a great time! I loved getting pictures of him while I was away! Sandy is wonderful!”
“Kristen is fantastic! This was the second time she cared for our dog Watson while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier. Her communication is excellent, with thoughtful updates and great photos sent to us throughout his stay. Most importantly, Watson clearly loves spending time with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust!”

“Barbara and Anthony were so wonderful with Poppy! They were communicative and sent lots of photos. Poppy was so relaxed when we arrived to pick her up. It was clear that she loved her stay. We will definitely book with Barbara and Anthony again!”

“Keaton and fam were awesome! Daily check ins with photos of our dog having fun and being comfortable. He took great care of our dog and was totally evident in the pictures and when we picked her up! Highly recommend, will definitely use him again!”

“Bonnie was a wonderful host for my anxiety-prone doggo. She went out her way to make sure Rosie was comfortable and even provided services I didn't ask for, like chopping up extra fruit and veggies when the stuff I supplied ran out. Would highly recommend and would hope to be able to use her services again!”

“We had our new puppy stay over while we went on a 4 day vacation. I could tell he had lots of fun! While he's definitely adorable I know he's a handful so thank you so much!”
“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.”

“Lisa is such a kind, easy going, and thoughtful person. She takes the time to learn and carry out your pet’s care instructions, and also sent photos + well being updates every day. The best part of Lisa’s care was seeing Rooster so happy and content in her home, not rushing out the door when we arrived to pick him up. She has a perfect home away from home!”

“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.”

“We couldn't be happier having Athena house and kitty sit for us. We had a last minute medical issue with our cat before leaving, she stepped in and took great care of him. She is capable, calm, communicative with great attention to detail. We came home to a happy cat and perfectly cared for home.”

“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.”

“Serena is amazing with my senior cat who requires subcutaneous fluid treatment. Sweetums loves Serena even when she’s here to poke her with a needle. I trust her ability to properly administer treatment with care and compassion. Serena is very communicative. I highly recommend her to anyone, but especially if you have a pet that requires special services like sub-q. Plus, she’s super nice!”

“I needed a catsitter super last minute and reached out to Robin. I got a quick response and nailed down the plan within the day. Thanks for the quick turnaround and for taking great care of my babies!”


“Holly took amazing care of our two cats! She was communicative, kind and caring! She sent photo and text updates and made it clear that she enjoyed taking care of our cats. Our apartment looked exactly as we left it! We would book with Holly again in a second. Thank you so much for taking care of our kitties over the holidays!!”


“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!”


“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.”


“Kathleen was wonderful with our three cats. As per usual with cats, each is a little peculiar. Kathleen adjusted to each cat easily. Clearly an animal person! Made amazing progress with our shyest scaredy-est cat. The social one was spunky and happy when we got home thanks to Kathleen giving her the play and attention that she needed while we were gone. And the feral one got fed so he was happy too.”


“I can tell our cat misses Mindy & Daniel even on days that we’re home. Every interaction had with both Mindy and Daniel shows their care for animals. Each photograph we receive from them it’s evident that our cat is happy with their visits and able to be 100% himself and with that we’re able to relax and be free of worry. So grateful for their time.”


“Above and beyond, was Niki with my suddenly vomitous cat (who is going to the vet right away). Such care for my kitty--and my hardwood floors! I cannot praise her enough.”

“Tiana was great with our big scaredy cat! He’s hesitant with strangers but warmed up to her quickly and let her pet him. She sent sweet updates and photos daily. Couldn’t ask for more!”


“Melinda took excellent care of our pets and home. She was communicative, dependable, and very accommodating when our plans unexpectedly changed. She even gave our cat, Tiger, her inhaler without any issues—something we were a bit nervous about, but she handled it with ease. We felt completely confident leaving everything in her hands. We'd absolutely work with her again.”


“I'd absolutely have Carrie watch Tucker again. She responded super fast, was very friendly and communicative, followed instructions perfectly and was just over all really enjoyable to work with.”


“Amy was a wonderful sitter to our 7 cats! She came by for a meet and greet ahead of time and was very friendly. She was very proactive and responsive with communication. She sent lots of photos of the cats which helped us feel much better about leaving them. She also did a great job handling our 18yr old cat and cleaning up a few unpleasant messes the cats left. We will reach out to her again when we need a sitter!”


“Alysa was great! Our kitties really enjoyed her visits, especially Buster. Posey did too but she’s a little more timid, but she didn’t run and hide every time. Will definitely use her again 👍”


“Jenni accepted our booking request with only a couple days notice and we really appreciated it! Jenni was punctual to meet our cat and seemed reliable and trust-worthy. Would for sure book Jenni again for our cat.”

“We are so grateful to have found Lori! She really went above and beyond in her care for our cat. She was punctual, thorough, responsive, and sent wonderful photos and detailed notes about each visit. She clearly has a way with animals and we felt very comfortable leaving our cat (and home) in her care. She is thoughtful and kind as well! I’d recommend Lori to anyone and will definitely be reaching out to her next time we head out of town!”

“Devin was wonderful and very trust worthy. Made us feel good to know we were leaving our pup in great hands! Her backyard is an ideal space for play time. Our pup seemed very comfortable! Would definitely recommend Devin!”
“They treated my dogs like their own. Even bathing them when they got a little messy. They sent photos & always responded when I was checking in. They asked many questions about routines & lifestyles to make sure it was a good fit prior. I will definitely be booking again :) thank you for caring for my dogs 🩵”

“Ariane is a great communicator, and it’s obvious she’s great with dogs. my dog loved her right away. I appreciate her exercising my pup and loving on him afterwards. Will definitely leave my boy with her again!”

“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!”
“What a fantastic oasis for our pup! She had an amazing time here, was lovingly welcomed and well taken care of. We would have her stay again if we were in town longer. This family is fantastic and provides a wonderful environment for dogs. Thank you!”

“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 💞”

“Amazing! I feel so lucky to have found Mark! Clovie loves it there. She comes back to me happy. Since she started going, she has been doing even better with listening and following cues! Mark is so flexible, understanding and super easy to work with. Thanks Mark, you’re the BEST!”


“My pup is always super relaxed and happy when we get him after a day with Brooke. There are always other adorable pups, a sweet kiddo, and lovely space. I’m grateful that I have the peace of mind to know he’s having a good time!!”

“Keaton was great! He took care of our 4 month old puppy for an entire day, making sure he had plenty of potty breaks (every hour) and multiple 30 minute walks to get out his energy. He was fantastic with Eggington and made sure he felt safe and comfortable (Eggington took to him immediately!). Greatly appreciate Keaton's care towards dogs and flexibility to work with our schedules!”

“My puppy loved his time with Anastasia--he was visibly excited every morning when I dropped him off, Anastasia sent photos and videos of him and his new pals having fun throughout the day, and he was thoroughly exhausted when I picked him up at the end of the day.”

“Frank enjoys spending his time with Don (and Hunter) very much. He gets excited when we pull up to the house, because he knows he's in for a day of fun and VIP treatment. I highly recommend Don and Melodie for both Daycare and Boarding.”


“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!”

“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”

“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”


“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!”

“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”

“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!”

She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

“I forgot to mention in my last review that Natasha takes the best pictures. She also gives my dog a daily grade which let's me know how her training is progressing and makes the daily report feel like a report card from school, which I adore. Natasha is amazing, patient, reliable, communicative, honest, caring, truly a dream and a blessing of a dog walker. Her daily reports are detailed, cumulative, and progressive. I really couldn't ask for more.”

“Jade was really great with my dog, Ember who can sometimes be reactive on walks. It was a relief to have someone who has a lot of knowledge and experience care for her while I'm at work, plus my pup loved her. Will definitely be booking again!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Nicole did a great job taking my dog for walks/play at the park. I came home to a happy tired pup. She’s a good communicator, quickly responds to any questions, and reliably showed up when agreed upon. Will definitely book with her again.”
