“Sandy took such great care of our mini schnauzer, Hugo! She made us feel immediately at ease when giving us a tour of her place, which is a perfect set-up for small dogs! Love that she only watches small dogs and that everything is secure (fence with dual gate system and keeping the dogs at home at all times). I so appreciated her updates and photos as well! We will definitely be reaching out to Sandy for all future needs for Hugo!”
“Dan was great -- he was flexible in accepting (rather last minute on my part) booking request. He took my big dog on several walks to wear him out! Pick up and drop off were a breeze. We'll be back!”

“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.”

“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Shari on Rover. This was our first time vacationing and leaving our special-needs dog, who has separation anxiety, and it was not an easy decision. From the very beginning, Shari made us feel completely at ease. She truly loved him and treated him as if he were her own. Knowing he was in such caring, capable hands gave us the confidence to fully enjoy our time away. Shari sent frequent updates and photos, which meant so much to us and really helped when we missed him. I couldn’t recommend Shari more highly. She is kind, attentive, and truly exceptional. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust her again.”
“It seems like our little dog Hattie was extremely well cared for. We received cute little photo updates daily that reassured us that she was in good hands. We would happily book with Jamie and his partner again!”

“Tommy was FABULOUS!!! We have a large, enthusiastic pup who is so sweet and also can get into lots of mischief. Tommy understood my pup’s needs and happily accommodated. I felt completely confident in Tommy caring for my energetic pup. That made me able to enjoy my vacation so much more because I wasn’t stressed about my dog. I know my pup had a great time playing with Tommy and his dogs, too. Thank you! We will definitely use Tommy again!!!😊”
“Vanessa was wonderfully communicative and considerate, and both of her pets seemed like absolute sweethearts too! I’m so grateful to have trusted her with my dog Dagger’s care, and would be relieved to do so again if I’m ever in the area in the future and need to!”
“Keelan & Sabrina take wonderful care of Rosie. I am so grateful for their kindness and patience with her. Rosie seems to enjoy her visits with Keelan & Sabrina. She comes home happy and exhausted, just perfect.”
“Noemi was great! Very communicative, open and honest! My little guy is a senior and very anxious in new environments. By the 2nd day, I believe he was way more settled! She really cares for your pets while away and she even has her family to help assist which they all were friendly as well! I’ll definitely be booking again with Noemi!!”
“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!”

“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.”

“This was our first time hiring Ann, and she was wonderful! She house-sat and kitty-sat for us for 6 nights. She kept us updated with pictures and notes about how our cat was doing, and he seemed to be very comfortable with Ann while we were away. Fig was happy and the house was spotless when we got home. Will definitely book her again!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Selena is beloved by my older cat, Jeff. She caught all the details of his care routine and used great discretion of when to add in extra support as needed when she did drop-in visits with him over the holidays. Even when he had an upset stomach, she took care of him and the mess in a professional and compassionate way. I appreciate her kindness, level of detail in her care, and her thorough communication.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a kid. Back in July 2024, my cat Tigger passed away at 20 years old. From energetic kittens to seniors who just need a lap to sit on, your cat will be in good hands with me. I’m comfortable caring for special needs cats and administering medication as well.
About: I have been around cats for many years and recently adopted my kitten, Kelsier. Since adopting I have successfully performed kitten baths, many nail clippings, and I have survived countless kitten starvation screams. I am also highly skilled in cat snuggles and whisker-pets.

“Maggie was gentle and patient with my shy chihuahua mix. Correspondence was prompt. They sent me a picture during the day and my dog actually looked relaxed, which then lead to me feeling relaxed. 5 stars!”
“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!”
“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++”
“Our puppy had the best day with Kristopher. He was sensitive to our puppy’s needs, and eased her into meeting his crew when she was nervous on arrival. She seems to have had the best day, and we are so appreciative of his expertise with puppies.”
“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 💞”
“Damon has been a life saver for my daycare needs. He is reliable, personable, and communicative. I work full time and have an active GSD who needs adequate mental stimulation and play. By the time I pick her up, she’s ready to eat and relax for the rest of the evening. He has a spacious and clean backyard for the dogs to roam/play around in without it feeling too crowded. I always get pics and updates thru out the day to make me feel reassured she’s safe and having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Damon and his services.”
“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was able to take our young dog on short notice which made things so much easier for us. Tali came back happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. Would absolutely book again!”
“What a wonderful job Chris did today with Flip! It was so good knowing he was in such good care. And Chris took excellent photos of my little guy! Made the separation easier for me and I know Chris made it easier for Flip.”
“Margaret is great! She made a quick connection with my shy/nervous dog. By the 2nd visit, my dog was excited to see Margaret and not hesitant at all when I dropped her off. Margaret sends us lots of cute pictures and pays close attention to my dog's needs like when she needs a breaks from an overly playful puppy. I would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Evita has an incredible smile, and that was indicative of the care and affection she obviously showed my pup. Our dog returned home happy, well fed, and well exercised. Evita was very friendly, and extremely attentive. I will definitely request her as a sitter again. Thank you Evita!”
“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!”

You have made my Oregon experience so much better! Youre the Best!”
“This daycare worked out great, was nearby and convenient for us. Alicia was communicative and took good care of our dog during the day when we had plans.”
About: I used to work at a dog rescue, and I have experience with all kinds of dogs, from chihuahuas to pitbulls. I love them all. I recently lost my 16 year old rescue dog, Spike, and I miss being around animals. I’m experienced with special needs dogs, senior dogs, and with administering medication. I’d love to make your dog feel comfy and loved when you’re away. I am comfortable with your dog boarding at my house if they don’t mind being in a new environment, and I also have experience house sitting for pets who prefer their own space. When house sitting, I’m happy to grab mail, water plants, etc. I work from home the majority of the time, and my husband (who is also a huge animal lover) has flexible hours as well. Therefore, someone is typically home and able to walk/feed/play with your pet during the day. I have a fenced yard and a small doggie door as well. My schedule is very adaptable whether I’m home or staying at a client’s house. I’m happy to accommodate your pet with whatever they need so that they feel right at home when you’re gone. They’re welcome to sleep in bed with us, in their own bed or crate, or whatever you/they prefer. Let me know more about your pet’s typical routine and we’ll go from there!
“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!”

“Lyle showed up in the pouring rain! Very punctual, great communication, professional and reliable. My 2 year old cattle dog is tired after their walks and that’s not an easy task. THANK YOU!!!”
“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.”
“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”
“Lucinda is incredible with our boy! We can tell in all the pictures she takes that he has such a great time with her. She communicates so well. We always look forward to her reviews of how the day went with Cruz - she keeps it creative and always writes something fun and descriptive. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I grew up in rural midwest with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I was a dedicated and loving dog mama to my beloved bernese mountain dog, Riker, for 9.5 years and I miss him very much. I enjoyed taking my boy to thousand acres, Mt. Tabor, and several other dog parks and we've gone on many hikes on the coast, in the gorge, and in Mt. Hood forest. I have special connections with my friends' animals and I've enjoyed taking their dogs for walks since my boy passed last March. I'm a fourth-year doctoral graduate student at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). I have three full days of clinic per week and fill the rest of the week with writing and research. When I'm not in clinic I can be flexible with my schedule to take your fur baby on walks, check in on them to let them out, or schedule an adventure! I respect my client’s rules, preferences, and boundaries regarding their pets. I will avoid places they’re not supposed to go, keep them on leash at all times, socially distance them if requested, and never give them treats or food unless given owner permission.
“Meg and Ryan are amazing! Treat our dogs like family and go that extra mile to make sure they are good - which is awesome with our senior dog. Am using and will continue to use their services!!”
“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!”
“Violet is the sweetest! My pup is unusually anxious right now, as we're new to Portland. But Violet met Heidi where she was at-- letting her sit, sniff, or walk at her own pace, and was just so considerate. Heidi came back home a happy, tail-wagging girl! And so we've already booked Violet for future dates. 10/10 can easily recommend!!”
“This was our first time having Kayley care for Baja and she was amazing! Kayley’s communications and updates were excellent and she went above and beyond on some visits to help with other things. We’ll definitely request her again the next time we need help with dog walking.”
“Alyson has been walking my little blind weenie for about a month now. My little girl loves her and is always so excited for her walk. Alyson is so sweet and gentle with her. Alyson communicates well and is prompt. I would highly recommend her!”
“Liz was amazing! She picked up Momo right on time and sent some great profile pics so we see that our dog was happy and all tuckered out afterwards. She also gave some dog walking advice to boot. Professional, caring and fun!”
“Nigel and Ruby are the absolute best when it comes to taking exceptional care of my babies! I know that when they have my littles I don't have to worry about a thing. Honestly, I wish I would have found these guys sooner!”
About: Over 20 years of hands on pet care under my belt. I've been the go to walker and sitter for friends, family, and neighbors across Portland. From energetic malamutes who love winter hikes in Forest Park, to chill cats who want a lap and a scratch. I've handled them all. I know every pup's quirks, keep treats handy, and always come home with wagging tails and happy updates. Reliability is my thing: on time walks, clean pickups, and no drama. Let's get your furry crew out exploring. I am currently doing this part time and enjoy taking care of animals. I am fairly flexible on when I can be available for pet care. I love animals and treat all pets as if they were own. I can tailor to the owner and their pet to make sure everyone is comfortable.
“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.”
About: A long term pet sitter for multiple families, positive experiences caring for senior dogs, and always working with respect and love for the furry family members. I also have experience caring for different farm animals! I have wide ranges of availability to accommodate walking and feeding and play schedules, I work 5 days a week but always make time before during and/or after the work day to spend proper time! To me theres no such thing as too much communication when it comes to something this important, pet parents wont have to feel shy about voicing their requests and check ins!
About: I have a dog with seizures and I understand how much care is needed to care for him. I will treat your dog(s) with that same care and significance. I work early morning hours Thursday through Monday. I'm off work by 10:30am and can be available to walk, feed, administer medicatios and do drop in visits 7 days a week. I live in an apartment downtown that has a secured entry. I have a collapsible travel kennel that can hold a small to medium sized dog, I also have a wood kennel that can hold a pet up to 20lbs with plenty of room to spare. My 20lb Boston Terrier fits in it comfortably with enough room to stand up and turn around without any discomfort.

Madeline was communicative and sent regular updates with photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. 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!”

“From the moment my two dogs met Peter they loved him. He is so good with doggies! The pictures he sent me showed just how happy they were with his family. They were given lots of time, affection, and fun, as well as special attention and grooming. They were with him because I was in the hospital for a medical procedure that went longer then expected. For me Peter's flexibility with my situation and the confidence he inspired made leaving my doggies in his hands in an already stressful time for me a peaceful decision. I would clearly recommend him!”
“Great! We had nice updates and photos every day on Stella and her friends she hung out with. She enjoyed the backyard which is a wonderful haven for dogs and people alike. Thanks so much! Laura”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kathy! She was wonderful, communicative, and very good to my senior boy. She sent updates with cute pictures and videos everyday. She even went above and beyond doing shorter more frequent walks for my pup and going the extra mile to make sure he ate (he’s the PICKIEST). My pup loved her and we will definitely be rebooking for future trips!”
“Peanut had another great stay with Taylor and Liv! She's able to fully relax with them and enjoys spending time with them. It's such a relief to know she's with people who genuinely care about her and enjoy her company.”
