“Noemi is awesome! She watched my super shy rat terrier buddy for two nights and was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful with him, and it was clear she really cared about making him feel safe and comfortable. She kept me updated, was very reliable, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I came home to a happy, well cared for pup and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Kris was very communicative- providing regular photos and updates during the boarding. This was the best experience we have had boarding our pets. Definitely recommend!”
“My dog is a sweet but VERY anxious rescue. She warms up to people over time, but with hesitation. I’m so grateful when I get photos of Pepper snuggling up with Sandra on the couch and happily hanging out. She’s so loved and cared for. Such piece of mind for me when I’m out of town! 💕”
“Thanks for providing such great care for Chewie! I loved the photo updates. We were really able to enjoy our time away, knowing he was in good hands. Such loving and competent care! We will be back.”
“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”
“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our dog, Bingo. It was Bingo’s first boarding experience, so we were a little nervous, but they helped to ease our worry by doing a meet and greet first and then providing daily communication with updates and photos while we were gone. Bingo had a blast playing with Minty and Loki. We would definitely book with Keelan again!”
“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.”
“Tammy was an exceptional dog sitter for our dog, Rusty. Rusty is very anxious and often struggles with meeting new people. Within the first day, it was clear that Tammy quickly earned his trust and love. We felt at ease during our trip that he was well cared for and happy. We appreciated her daily updates. 100% would recommend.”
“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.”
“When we came to pick up Dory the next day she ran out to say hi and was ready to follow Hayleigh back in the house when she went to grab her bed. So safe to say Dory had a blast!”
“Leaving our dog with Rosemary was such a relief! We are always stressed to leave our dog behind when we're out of town but Rosemary was so great about sending updates and reassuring us. She had all the fun toys and a space for our dog to run--I'm pretty sure he was depressed when we got back and he had to go back to his regular house!”
“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!”
“Jennifer was great! Super easy to set up a meet and greet with and coordinate drop off and pick up. She sent cute updates and I could tell she took great care of Gus. She took him on lots of walks. Her dalmatian was also super sweet with Gus. I would definitely rebook with Jennifer!”
“Jason and Lindsay & their boys were available at a moment's notice when my schedule sitter fell through. They provided Rosie with attentive and loving care, and I would absolutely trust them with my sweet girl anytime.”
“Kristen and her husband were amazing boarders for our two rambunctious pups! She was an excellent communicator sending updates every morning and evening, very quick to respond and organized. Our dogs were so tired when they returned home from the many walks and snuggles they received. I will happily reach out to Kristen again for future bookings!”
“Allison did an amazing job watching our pup. Her instructions for drop-off were very thorough and ensured that we brought everything needed for a long weekend. She also sent numerous pictures and movies showing how great a time our pup had. I’d highly recommend her and plan to work with her in the future.”
“Shadow had a fantastic time with Dan. I told Dan Shadow loved to chase a tennis ball so, well, Shadow got more ball time in with Dan than he has in quite some time! Dan sent awesome photos to show it! Dan was also very professional and personable. I would not hesitate to have Dan keep Shadow in the future!”
“Nicole and Jamie took Rocco on lots of walks, sent us photos daily and were good communicators throughout our trip. Rocco came home happy and we would be glad to hire them again. Thank you!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Meg came over for 4 drop in visits to take care of our demanding kitty while we were out of town. She took lots of photos and was very communicative - thanks Meg!”
“Mary was amazing! This was the first time she did a drop in for my kitty - she showed up right on time and did everything I asked her to! Finding a trustworthy sitter can be hard so I’m happy to have found her and I know my cat feels the same. Would definitely love to have Mary check in on my girl again 10/10 highly recommend. Thank you!!😊”
“Charles was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our two cats. He went above and beyond to play with them, brush them, and make them feel loved. He also has top-notch communication every day. Highly recommend hiring Charles!”
“Gera was a balm to my anxious heart. I got a hold of them to watch after my older IBD kitty pretty last minute. I received photos, updates every visit, trial med runs before I left town to make sure everyone involved was informed and comfortable, they told me my girly might be experiencing whisker fatigue based on how she was eating so that just shows how much attention to detail and care was put in. Clem isn't very shy but she warmed up to Gera effortlessly and it sure made me feel like she was in great hands.”
“I have used Carmen as a petsitter a couple times while I’ve been out of town for a few days. She sent me lots of pictures and was super responsive and I would book with her again”
“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 :)”
“As always Hannah did an amazing job with our two kitties! She goes above and beyond, and the pictures she takes are professional grade. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone's pet sitting needs!!”
About: Cat's well-being and care is my top priority. Have at least 8 years of caring for my own cat and 1 year of pet care. I am in-between jobs at the moment as such I am free to cat care for most work weekdays and sensible hours at hours during the week. I care for cat's needs why caring for as it is a priority for both me and the client. I will do additional request as needed.
“Emma was great! She won over my very shy cat and kept me updated every day. She was extremely communicative when a small issue came up and we were able to solve it quickly. I've already booked with her again :)”
“Angela took great care of our kitties over Christmas! She was always quick to respond, went above and beyond helping take our trash cans out for trash day, and most importantly played with and cared for our kitties - even our usually shy boy, who warmed right up to her!”
“Sam did a great job looking after my elderly cat who needs meds twice a day. My cat is very shy and by the end of the week had really warmed up to Sam! I appreciated all of the detailed updates Sam provided and would definitely book again!”
“Maleah is by far the best pet sitter I have ever had. As long as she is available and willing, I will keep booking with her! She's receptive, detailed, and compassionate, and has a plethora of tricks up her sleeve for all sorts of animal personalities & needs. Every time she cares for my cat, I am SO impressed. Thank you thank you thank 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!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have taken care of friends’ cats for many years. Since my cat passed away, I have loved taking care of others’ loved ones. I enjoy seeing the different personalities come through, whether they’re shy, cuddly, playful, spicy, etc. I love them all and treat them as if they’re my own. I’m also very understanding of cats that are fearful or slow to open up to new people, and meet them where they’re at, giving them any space and time they need. I am also used to giving cats medicine and addressing any special needs.

Margaret is knowledgeable about dogs and provides focused care. Sloane is always very excited when we arrive, and spends the whole day playing with other dogs... she's also made best friends with Margaret's cat! It's truly been a great experience. I highly recommend Margaret and her care!”
“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.”
“We tried the drop in service today and it gave me such piece of mind knowing Dash was entertained rather than sitting at home alone. Tommy was quick to respond and very accommodating. Dash came home happy and sleepy. A++”
“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.”

“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.”

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!”

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!”
