“You will not find more attentive and caring hosts than Dan and Dave! Our very anxious older dog was quickly at home with them and their sweet chihuahua, Hoss. Our Maisie was walked twice a day and I was sent pictures and updates each day. I couldn't recommend them more highly! They are wonderful pet hosts!!”

“We met Gayle while searching for somewhere to board our dogs for two weeks. This past weekend we left them with her for a quick get-away and practice stay. I have never been happier. Gayle kept us up to date, sent pictures, answered all our concerns (one of our dogs is "special-needs"). We picked up two happy, healthy, tired dogs and we know they'll be in good hands with Gayle for future stays. Highly recommend!”

“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”

“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”

“Nadine was great! We were coming from out of town and headed to the beach but visited family for a couple days who doesn’t like dogs in the house, so we needed to find a place for our dog for a couple days. Nadine sent pictures everyday to let us know how Milly is doing. She has an amazing backyard and her pets were very friendly with her. Milly isn’t crate trained and Nadine was more than willing to accommodate that and let her sleep in the bed. Will definitely use her again when we come to town!”


“Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kelsi! Will definitely book again next time we need a sitter. She took amazing care of my dogs and communication was great. We got fun little updates and pictures everyday. Thank you!!”

“Lyssette and family took great care of Gracie while we were away. She checked in with pictures and videos to keep us aware of how things were going. Looking forward future stays w Lyssette!”

“Murphy ate and has been asleep since 5:20. He had a great time as always, and we'll all have an early bedtime. Thanks for taking care of our pup. We never worry about him, because he's in great hands with you. ❤️❤️”

“Diana took wonderful care of Reggie and was thoughtful enough to send regular photos and video to let me know how things were going. Reggie had a good time and I had peace of mind know he was well cared for!”

“Juliann did such a wonderful job of taking care of our beloved dog. She took the time to introduce herself and her lovely family and we got a chance to have Yoda do a meet and greet. Their house was very warm and inviting and they really took to him. They were very thorough with all of their questions and made sure that they were equipped to take good care of him. During the trip they gave us constant updates and photos and we felt very safe that he was in good hands. when we went to go pick him up, he did not seem that enthusiastic to leave, which was both sad but also a great sign of how much fun he was having there. We absolutely would work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking to have their dogs be in safe and loving hands.”

“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”


“Liz and her family did a great job caring for our dog. You can immediately tell that they love animals and your dog is in safe hands with them. I will absolutely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a caring home away from home.”

“Shawna and Matt proved to be excellent hosts for our dog, Hamburg. Their friendly and welcoming little companion (Maxwell) made our buddy feel right at home. We always had concerns about leaving our little buddy, but Shawna ensured we were regularly informed, and Matt made sure our furry friend received plenty of exercise. We have no reservations about boarding Hamburg with them again in the future. It's clear that he had a fantastic time. Thank you once more!”

“I could not have asked for a better family to watch my dog! Samantha and Brian were so kind and accommodating with my older dog! My dog had some issues initially acclimating to the new environment and they went above and beyond to make him feel at home. To the extent that Brian slept in the living room with him, where my dog felt most comfortable. Their children and their pup were wonderful with him as well! The family even accommodated me picking my dog up a night early since our holiday plans changed. This family really was a blessing when we needed to leave our dog for the holidays! Thank you again!!”

“Katie boarded my 15-month cockapoo, Darcy, for a week. This was our first time with her. She offered to meet us beforehand to get to know us / him. She was professional and caring & we liked her! She was timely with communication before & during Darcy's stay, sending a couple photos a day to show how much fun he was having. When she dropped him off, Darcy was VERY sad to see her drive away! Katie gets my most definite recommendation!”

“I’ve worked with Sarah for a while now, she does drop ins to care for my three kitties. She’s been a lifesaver: reliable, thorough, detail oriented and my kitties love her! So grateful to have found her!”


“Kat was incredibly diligent and professional with our 4 kitties, including one senior cat with special needs! She went above and beyond while we were out of town for the week to administer medication on a schedule, deal with different feeding instructions, and take care of the house. We got such great updates and pictures throughout our trip, and Kat really put our mind at ease! I would absolutely rely on her again.”

“Ryan is a great dog sitter! I have trusted him for my 3 dogs’ care. I appreciate him for being helpful whenever he notices something. My dogs were comfortable around him. We want to ask him again!”

“Lily is awesome! She takes great care of Shy and Shy loves her. I always know Shy is in good hands when Lily is watching her. Lily keeps me updated with pictures and texts. She's 100 percent reliable and professional. I highly recommend Lily and grateful to have her watch Shy.”


“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”


“Ali....you were the best! Reliable, responsible and great with Precious and Kashie. I could tell immediately when I first met you. :) the pics you sent showed that and the furrries were doing great when I arrived home. I'm very grateful. Thanks, Alil! pam”

About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.

“Malissa was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Jack in her care while out of town. She sent a daily message and pictures. I will definitely book her again if I need someone to stay with Jack again while I’m out of town.”

“Jamie was a great communicator and had a calm energy around my cat that’s been dealing with some stress. I came back to a clean home and very happy kitty! Communication and photos throughout her stay were also consistent. Thank you Jamie!”

“Christina was so great with my cats. The pictures she sent showed they clearly were not stressed while me and the family were away for two weeks. When we got home they were relaxed and their normal selves. The extra time spent with them is so much appreciated and wasn’t even asked for, so, thank you for the extra effort. Would definitely rebook again.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially 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 💞”

“Rebecca is the Best. She was a perfect match for my Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I will be booking with her again and hope she is available. She’s knowledgeable and attentive. Thank you Rebecca.”

About: My wife, Connie, a retired nurse, and I have had six dogs over 35 years. We miss them dearly. I have raised dogs from puppyhood through their senior years so I understand the patience, structure and affection that go with it. I am retired from my legal practice of 35 years, and very active. I love long walks and have a nice fenced backyard if pet sitting is needed. Only your dog(s) will be in our care during your booking. Whether your pup needs long walks, gentle companionship or just someone who treats them like family I’m committed to make them feel safe, loved and genuinely cared for. After being self-employed for 35 years I am looking for something to keep me busy and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time. I have a very flexible schedule and basically available 24/7. In my home I will provide a warm, clean environment, plenty of attention and lots of outdoor activity since I’m active and retired, with plenty of time to give. And again, your pup will also be the only one I care for during his/her stay…
“London had a wonderful time with Hanna, Matthew, and his new furry friends! He was clearly having a blast — he was excited to see me at pickup, but also totally torn about leaving all his playmates, which was pretty adorable. He came home happily worn out, which is always the sign of a great day. As a bonus, they’re only 6 minutes from me, which makes drop-off and pickup so easy. I’d absolutely reach out to them again if I need a pet-sitter in the future!”


“I am so grateful to have found Damon to care for my girl Fiona. She is almost 14, blind, and diabetic, so I was nervous when my schedule changed and I was needing to find a daycare solution for her. I feel so comfortable dropping her off with him. I know that she will be well taken care of and he will quickly communicate any concerns.”

“Kris is absolutely the best sitter in Portland. He is communicative, he is honest and he is very giving towards your furbabies, he takes initiative to go above and beyond!”

“We’ve been looking for a new spot for doggie day care for our 2 year old Ranger and Tianna is a great fit for us!! Instantly at the meet and greet it was obvious that she knows dogs really well and enjoys being around them and caring for them. Ranger had a blast playing with the other dogs during his day visit and we are happy to have found a great spot for him!”

“Tara did a fantastic job with Huey! She was easy to communicate with and make a plan, even though I asked her to dog sit less with less than 24 hours notice. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day to ensure that Huey was having a good time. They even went on a long walk together! When I picked him up he was happy and content. I can tell that Huey was very comfortable with Tara, and I would highly recommend her caretaking!”

“Lauren was great! She was flexible & accommodating, loved on our Tucker dog, who can have high separation anxiety, and communicated with us through the day to let us know how he was doing and to verify any concerns. It was a blessing to have her watch him for the day, allowing him to join us on this trip but to know he was in good hands while we completed activities he could not join us for. We would definitely use Lauren again!”
“Tawny was absolutely amazing with my 10 month old puppy, Stella - truly treated her as if she was her own. Additionally, she was always incredibly flexible with hours, sent awesome update photos throughout the day, and made the whole process a delight. I would highly recommend!”


“Ava is an amazing host! This was Dexter's second time with her, although a much shorter stay, Dexter came back home wiped out from all of the playing. I feel very comfortable whenever Dexter's over there playing because I know he's getting love and attention! Highly recommended.”

“This was our first time booking with Rover, Barbara was amazing with our girl, she sent updates and great pictures, and she took a very good care of our Indie, she had so much fun playing with the other dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving her in Barbara's safe care. We are looking forward to the next time.”

“Tommy is very friendly (to me and my dog). I really appreciated the flexibility of his schedule, because I had to drop Cornelius off very early in the morning. The pictures that Tommy sent me looked like Cornelius was comfortable and happy with his new dog friends. Tommy was communicated great with me, always responding to my messages right away.”

“Louise was such a wonderful sitter for my dog Atlas for the day. Her home was the perfect landing spot for him, there was a beautiful backyard to play in! She has a very welcoming personality and I will definitely book with her again in the future :).”

“Natalie seriously came through for me! I had a last-minute appointment and was stressed about getting Indy out, but she stepped in right away with no hesitation. She did a great job and even sent a detailed update, which I really appreciated, especially since they hadn’t met before. I’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her! 🤍🐾”

About: I grew up with a dog, and have always lived with either a dog or cat as an adult. My heart just fills with joy when I am around all four legged friends. I currently work full time as a pediatric medical assistant, but would be happy to come by after work to take care of any sweet dog or cat. Currently do not take care of of animals at my current residence as I am living with family who prefers to be pet free, but I am happy to come to you!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11, from pet-sitting friends dogs and cats, to helping out at the shelter, though my pride and joy is my shelter pup Maggie, who I had the pleasure of training, and had been my buddy for 13 years. She was the absolute best, and I miss her so so much. Since Maggie passed, I now have the pleasure of raising and training yet another shelter pup, who is a great dog with lots of spunk. Her name is Luma, she’ll be 3 in April 2025, and she’s great with kids, dogs, and cats! I go to church on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings, and I’m currently an online student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any further questions feel free to enquirer to see if I’m available or if we can work something out! I look forward to hearing from you :) Currently, I am available for pet and house sitting, as well as walking and drop-ins. When house and pet sitting I will follow the rules you set for your home, as well as treating your pets as my own, which means spoiling them with lots of snuggles and top notch care!
“I recently got a puppy and booked an hour with Erica as part of his socialization process, to get him used to spending time with strangers. Erica and her daughter did an amazing job and I could tell Raider warmed up to both of them right away and felt very comfortable. It’s SO important for young puppies (especially giant breeds) to have positive experiences with new people. Thanks for helping to make sure I don’t wind up with a 120lb dog that’s afraid of people 🤣🖤Very much appreciated! 100% recommend”
“My dog is a little timid with new people, but Renata takes such good care of him! She’s patient and kind and I’m so grateful to have someone I can trust with him. She’s reliable and great with communication. Highly recommend her, especially for nervous/shy puppers. 🩵”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and care for all types. I am reliable, patient, and treat every pet great! I worked at a pet care for about a year as well! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my time around their needs. I can provide regular visits, feedings, walks, playtime, and attention on a schedule that works for each pet. I care for pets in their own home, following their usual routine for meals, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable while their owners are away.
About: There are few things I love more than animals. Walks maybe. Or good food. All animals have a special place in my heart, and it is an honor to help care for yours. To me, animals are people too. I am currently working full-time but dedicate time every afternoon and evenings to take walks. I’m up for whatever your pet(s) need whether that means a meandering stroll in your neighborhood, a social experience in a dog park or up some hills to get the glutes working. I am always ready and willing to try new hikes and walks. I prefer care in the clients home. The pets are more comfortable at home and my job is not to disrupt the animals routine. I love learning what works for your pet and implementing that routine in a fun healthy way for your pet.
About: I had been pet sitting regularly for clients in Bailey, CO for the past five years until we moved down to Mesquite, NV. They had an English and Bull Mastiff plus horses, goats and chickens. I take care of dogs for my friends who have recommended me to other clients over the course of the last fifteen years. I am a total dog lover and love to stop and pet each and every one I come across. I take daily walks, weather permitting, with the dogs I am taking care of, including the English Mastiff! Because I do not have a full time job, I am available weekdays and weekends and am very flexible regarding times. I love and treat each dog as my own. I moved from Mesquite to Woodburn, OR 2 years ago and am starting to get back into dog sitting again. So please reach out if you need to board your dog at my house. I have a home with a nice backyard and am close to Centennial Park which has two dog parks, one for smaller dogs and the other for the bigger ones. Pet sitting and dog walking are my only job. I can devote all my time each day to taking care of your pets. I will take your pups for a walk or a jog each day I have them and give them all the attention they want. I have a fenced in backyard that we can play in. I do let pets on my furniture if it’s ok with the client. I will totally love on your pup until they feel comfortable and safe in my home.
“I rebooked Malissa and was not disappointed. I rebooked her for walks not a housesitting this time and I found my dog happy. She also sent me pictures and was on time for the walks. I trust her completely and already rebooked her for the end of July housesitting.”

“We met Gayle while searching for somewhere to board our dogs for two weeks. This past weekend we left them with her for a quick get-away and practice stay. I have never been happier. Gayle kept us up to date, sent pictures, answered all our concerns (one of our dogs is "special-needs"). We picked up two happy, healthy, tired dogs and we know they'll be in good hands with Gayle for future stays. Highly recommend!”

“Once again, Oliver had a great time and was so well taken care of. The day before our trip, Ollie had an issue with his foot and was put on several medications. Stephen's wife, Connie, made a meds chart to ensure that every dose was given on time. That wasn't something we had planned for, but they were so great about it. That really allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. Thanks so much, Stephen and Connie!”

“Lyssette and family took great care of Gracie while we were away. She checked in with pictures and videos to keep us aware of how things were going. Looking forward future stays w Lyssette!”

“So happy to have come across Jennifer and Eric before boarding our pup. Seeing photos of him snuggling their kids and knowing he was being loved on all week gave us so much peace of mind while we were on vacation. Thank you guys so much!”


“Liz and her family did a great job caring for our dog. You can immediately tell that they love animals and your dog is in safe hands with them. I will absolutely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a caring home away from home.”

“Katie boarded my 15-month cockapoo, Darcy, for a week. This was our first time with her. She offered to meet us beforehand to get to know us / him. She was professional and caring & we liked her! She was timely with communication before & during Darcy's stay, sending a couple photos a day to show how much fun he was having. When she dropped him off, Darcy was VERY sad to see her drive away! Katie gets my most definite recommendation!”

“Another great stay! Our 9-month old golden retriever puppy developed so much confidence while staying with Jade. (He is generally a little nervous meeting new dogs.) But after an overnight stay at Jade’s house he walked right up to a new dog, wagged his tail, and said hello! We highly recommend Jade and her services. Excellent communication and happy dogs!”

“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.”

“I was nervous leaving my boy since he’s never been away from home. Tianna was so kind and caring of Max. Sent me pictures and videos, updates throughout the day. Definitely will book 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!”

“This was the first time I was away from Toby, who I rescued about 2 1/2 months ago. The stay could not have gone any better! I received a daily series of photos that made me smile! They are a caring couple who went beyond the call of duty in taking care of Toby.”

“Carolyn was absolutely incredible!! This was Sophie’s first stay and we will be back for sure! The check ins and pictures were exactly what I needed and showed me just how happy she was with Carolyn. We have boarded with three other sitters previously and Carolyn absolutely blew them out of the water! Her personalized care, demeanor, and environment for my baby made all the difference. Carolyn handled a complicated medication schedule and diet change perfectly. Thank you for taking such great care of this sweet baby! She came to you a senior and left a puppy hehe”

“I am so thankful to have found J, and can’t say enough great things! She sent me a bunch of adorable photo updates of my pup having a fabulous time out in the big yard, or cuddling inside with her newfound best friend Gus. Jean obviously really loves dogs, has a big home with space for large dogs, and is a wonderful sitter! We will definitely be visiting again!!!”

“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”

“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”

“Leslie’s home was a great Home away from home for our dog! She provided lots of care, updates, and home made treats. Our dog was completely comfortable in her home, which has a large fenced in backyard and lots of places to rest and snuggle!”
