“This was such a great place for us to take our pups. We actually aren’t from around the area but we’re there visiting and took a two day trip while there that we couldn’t take our dogs on. Mary was great to communicate with and was very quick to respond to any questions I had.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“This was my dogs first time boarding in several years, and she can be very anxious. Finding a place where she can be in a safe and welcoming home environment was a blessing! It was great to have daily feedback on how she’s doing and photos of her time there. It is clear that Emily and her family love dogs!”
“Erin was incredible! She invited us and Fuzz to come meet her and her family, see where Fuzz would be staying, and welcomed any questions. Fuzz was comfortable right away. We received pictures every day which made my son (Fuzz's boy!) happy. He truly became part of their family while we were away and we are grateful for such a pleasant experience! Thank you, Erin!”
“Our Cavaliers loved staying with Amy. Her home was accommodating, and they seemed very comfortable with the family and her dogs. My dogs immediately made themselves at home and I'm sure would eagerly return!”
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
“Tony, you are an amazing dog sitter! Sadie who is generally anxious did very well with you. She came home and instead of being clingy and nervous shes very content! So thank you! Tony sent photos and videos daily, assuring me Sadie was in good hands.”
“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
“I can't recommend her enough! Leaving Stella while I was away was one of the hardest parts of my trip, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. It was obvious that she treated Stella as if she were her own. Throughout my entire trip, she kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos of Stella, which gave me so much peace of mind. Seeing Stella happy, comfortable, and having fun made all the difference. She always took the time to let me know how Stella was doing, and I never had to wonder if she was okay. Stella came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was easy to see how much love, patience, and attention she received during her stay. Knowing that someone cared for her with so much affection meant the world to me. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, she is absolutely the person to choose. I would leave Stella with her again without a second thought, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. Thank you for loving Stella and taking such amazing care of her while I was away it meant more to me than words can express!”
“My dog Bailey had a great time with Elaine and her menagerie. Lots of walks and many other dogs to play with. Elaine kept me updated on Bailey’s status and activities every day, including photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was traveling. Very convenient to Portland Airport, so I will definitely board here again next time I’m flying out of PDX.”
“Emily and Erik have been wonderful with our dog Blitz. Blitz loves to come play with their dog Lennox and we get updates and are never concerned about leaving him in their care. Definitely recommend this family for your dogs care.”
“Our two dogs had a great weekend with Melissa! They loved being able to hang out outdoors in their own private space. They seemed very happy when we picked them up!”
“My dog Franklin had a great time with Brianna and her family! Her kids are so sweet and respectful. Frank loved them! Brianna was very communicative and sent frequent updates with pictures.”
“Our Shepherd mix was right at home with Hailey and her family. He got 24/7 care, family love and attention. Hailey was easy to communicate with and worked with our special food mix that needed to be refrigerated. Great property to roam in the yard and lots of area to run and play. We will definitely bring our dog back.”
“Steve and his dogs were great with my Peanut. She was well cared for and I greatly appreciated the photos and updates Steve provided. This was a WONDERFUL experience and I highly recommend Steve!”
“We love Debbie!! She is always dependable and takes great care of our dog. She also was so communicative and flexible when travel threw us curve balls and made sure we were able to reconnect with our dog after a long day.”
“This is the second time I’ve left my dog with Chelsea, and it has gone super smoothly both times! She made it very easy for drop off/pickup, is very easy to work with, and very respectful of what my dog needs. Will definitely rebook with her next time!”
“Kimberley and her family (two and four legged both) loved on my dog, Charlie, for 5 days. She had good attention to detail, noting how Charlie was interacting with everyone. Charlie came home nice and tired and in really good shape emotionally. Highly recommend.”

About: I have been around cats my whole life, all with different temperaments and medical needs. I am more than capable of cleaning up after cats, providing the proper paced play time, and giving the best cuddles.
“Kris is a good sitter. He comes on schedule, communicates well, and treats your home and pets with the care they deserve. He has stepped up for me on short notice, and always does a good job.”
“Breezey provided daily updates to us while we were out of state. When our spare key to our home didn't work, she reached out for help. Fortunately, she was then able to enter our home and care for our cat. I highly recommend Breezey.”
About: Hi, I’m Kelley! I’m a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My journey started early. I began working at a veterinary office at just 15 years old as a kennel technician and assistant, where I built a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. From there, I expanded into training and spent 5 years in Hawaii working as a private contracted dog trainer, gaining extensive experience with a wide range of dogs and client needs. I mainly train basic to advanced obedience and service dog training but also have experience with training hunting/bird dogs and protection work. In 2020, I founded my own dog training business in Oregon, where I now provide customized, results-driven training programs. I work with dogs weekly through private sessions, as well as structured board-and-train programs. I also travel locally and to surrounding areas to support clients and ensure training carries over into real-life environments. I recently moved up to the WA side in Kalama. My property is fully set up with dogs in mind. I have a secure, fully fenced yard and dedicated training areas equipped with a wide variety of professional training tools. Dogs in my care receive structured training, enrichment, and appropriate socialization based on their individual temperament, goals, and needs. Whether your dog needs basic obedience, behavior modification, or a safe and structured place to stay while you’re away, I provide a reliable, experienced, and attentive approach to their care. I treat every dog like my own, focusing on building confidence, clear communication, and lasting results. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine since I run my dog training business full-time. My days are structured around the dogs in my care, including scheduled training sessions, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. Each dog follows a consistent routine that’s tailored to their individual needs-this can include structured walks, obedience training, socialization (when appropriate), and downtime to ensure they’re not overstimulated. Because I work from home and on my property, I’m able to provide constant supervision and hands-on care throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I rotate between private training sessions, board-and-train dogs, and client visits, so I’m always actively working with dogs in a structured and intentional way. This setup allows me to give each dog consistent attention, routine, and progress while they’re in my care. Care varies depending on the service, but all pets receive structured, attentive, and individualized care. In my home, dogs follow a consistent daily routine that includes exercise, training, enrichment, and rest. Because of my background as a professional trainer, I incorporate structure and clear communication into everything I do—whether that’s reinforcing good manners, working on specific training goals, or simply maintaining a calm, balanced environment. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and are always supervised. Socialization is thoughtfully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. For board-and-train dogs, their stay includes daily hands-on training sessions tailored to their specific goals, along with structured routines that help build reliability and confidence. In clients’ homes, I aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible to reduce stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any household rules the dog is used to. I also reinforce any training the owner is working on to maintain consistency. Across all services, my priority is safety, clear communication, and making sure each dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for.
“This was the second time Gloria stayed at our house. I felt our beloved cat, BJ, was in excellent hands with Gloria. When we returned, the house was just as we left it, litter boxes scooped, and BJ was relaxed, fed, and happy (the most important thing)! It was as though we had never left! We felt bad because, while we were gone, our TV died and our air conditioning wasn't working, but Gloria took it in stride. We and BJ hope Gloria will house/cat-sit again for us in the future (TV and heat pump have both been replaced!). Thank you, Gloria.”
“Mikki has been caring for our golden for the past 10 months when she was just 8wks old. I schedule her to come twice a day and she has always been on time, consistent, and reliable. She always provides pictures and information about the drop in visits. If you’re deciding on who to go with give Mikki a try! She’s been great!”
About: I don’t have any cats currently but I’ve had them in the past. The one in the picture was my latest one. She has since passed and haven’t ventured back into the cat world. Everyone is different on how they take care of them so just let me know your routine and I will be able to care for them!
“Veronica is very communicative and clearly loves taking care of the animals she's watching. We were very happy to find someone not only great with out kitties, but also knowlegeable about aquariums.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. My dad has always had multiple cats at home, and I currently have a playful kitten of my own, so I’m very familiar with all types of feline personalities — from independent adults to curious little ones. I’m patient, gentle, and detail-oriented when it comes to feeding, litter box care, and keeping routines consistent. Whether your cat loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Kate helped us out last minute, and we were so grateful. Minnie takes a little time to warm up and Biggs is very needy, so they can be a lot sometimes. I would definitely recommend her, and we’ll reach out to her the next time we need someone.”
About: I’ve owned many cats and have also been a trusted friend caring for other people’s cats while they’re away. I understand their unique personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving attention if they enjoy it. I’m gentle, patient, and will follow their routine closely so your cat stays happy and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have my own dogs and I’ve watched my families dogs as well. I’d say I definitely have experience in taking care of them so it’s not a worry. I’m a full-time student with availability Sunday through Tuesday. My schedule is limited, but I’d love to spend time caring for your furry friends! I offer lots of play time and one on one time with your pets. I’ll keep them safe, fed, and most importantly have fun 💖
About: Currently a part-time nurse looking to make a few extra bucks taking care of your fur babies. I am a dog mom, myself, and would love to drop in and take care of them or help them get their daily exercise!! Working part time and schedule can vary. If my calendar says I’m unavailable, please don’t hesitate to still reach out — I may be able to work out a time on that day with you. I try to be as flexible as I can 🐾😊 I can either drop in to check on and feed your pets, or I stay and give them some attention and time to get their energy out. I can also take them out on walks around the neighborhood! I love mixing it up with running/walking, as tolerated by the pups. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but I’m happy to stop in and check on them!🐱

“I can’t thank Cynthia enough for the exceptional care she took of our pups on very short notice. Great communication and updates, and they had a blast. I highly recommend working with her!”
“This is my first time using Rover, and I am a first time dog owner. I needed to schedule something very last minute and Emily was very flexible working with me and Daisy. She did a great job and kept in contact about her stay. She is very friendly and is very well experienced in this business.”
About: I’m a lifelong pet lover who has owned and cared for animals for many years. I’ve also had the joy of being a “pet grandpa,” helping care for family pets and spending lots of quality time with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’m dependable, calm, and patient, and I truly enjoy getting outside for walks and staying active. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship, or attentive care while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m excited to spend time with animals and provide reliable, loving care you can feel good about. I’m retired and have a very flexible schedule. I’m looking for part-time work to stay active, so I have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep a calm and secure environment, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure pets feel safe and cared for at all times.
“Kelsey provided top-notch care, keeping me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. It was clear that Hazel was in good hands, receiving plenty of love and attention. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have found Pamela! Great communication from beginning to end. She took amazing care of my Benny and was kind and patient with this new experience! 10/10 Great job! We will schedule with Pamela again soon!”
About: Military Veteran | Lifelong Animal Lover Hello! My name is Kortni, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Since the age of 8, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of animals—from horses and livestock to dogs, cats, and even fish. My experience comes from both personal ownership and working alongside professional trainers, always with the goal of providing well-rounded, compassionate care. During my time in the military, I was fortunate to have a few incredible opportunities to work with military working dogs—an experience that deepened my respect for animal intelligence, discipline, and emotional needs. Now that I’ve recently transitioned out of the military, I’m taking time to reconnect with the things I love most: animals, nature, and a slower pace of life. That also means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to your pet’s unique needs—whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, playtime, or sticking to a specific routine. This is my passion, and what I do for work. I currently have an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd at home who’s the biggest spoiled lap dog you’ll ever meet. I understand how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Special diet? Specific routine? Just let me know—I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. You can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!
“I'm very new to the area and I needed someone to watch my 2 corgis with short notice. Jennifer responded fast and she was very flexible with my chaotic schedule. Excellent communication before, during, and after our reservation and my dogs were content and happy. I would recommend Jennifer and use in the future! Thank you!”
“Mikki was absolutely great! She took the time to have a few meet ups with our puppy to make sure everyone got along well, and she had the patience of a saint for dealing with a puppy with all her quirks. We will definitely be reaching out and booking again for future sitting needs.”
“Erin was awesome at accommodating my crazy hours the last 6 months I’ve been in the area for work. I know Pablo will miss both her human and animal kids. Thank you so much!!!!”
“I can tell that my dog enjoyed his day with Tanaisa and her dog Loki. He walked right into the gate when I dropped him off for his second day. He got plenty of walks and socialization. I will definitely book with her again, even though it’s a total of 40 minutes detour for me, it’s worth it because Tanaisa took great care of Dante.”
“Shell is AMAZING! She went out of her way to accommodate me in my time of need (short notice) and took loving and attentive care of my little pup Mochi. She sent me plenty of photos and updates which put my mind at ease as I worked a long busy day. I highly recommend her services and I will most definitely be readout to her again for dogsitting in the future! Thank you Shell!”

“We found them when we really needed someone to take care our our special girl. I am so grateful to them and know that we made the right choice. True animal lovers.”
“Tina was fantastic with my 6 month old puppy, Luna. My dog is very shy and timid when meeting new people and in new environments. Tina was very understanding and knowledgeable on Luna’s temperament. Tina knew exactly what to do to make Luna feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely use Tina again. Thank you Tina!”
“Angela is a wonderful dog sitter and clearly has such a love for animals. Grace loved doggy daycare and was so excited to come back each day. Angela's communication was great and she was really kind and flexible with unexpected schedule changes. I highly recommend her as a caring, reliable person providing excellent pet care.”

About: I have been around all types of breeds, sizes, and temperament all my life. I have a special place in my heart for big dogs! I have trained dogs with basic commands, walked, fed, bathed, and e-collar trained with many pets including my own. I house sit often for family friends, including their furry friends. I am currently in-between jobs and am looking to earn money doing something I love! I have my own car, and as I search for a new position lots of free time to care for pets or your home. I have had multiple family dogs, and cats throughout my life and they truly make my life full! I also treat my own and other pets and space with respect and love. I understand every pet has different needs and am always willing to understand to provide the best care possible!
About: It is important to me that your dog's individual needs and routines are met while in my care. I do my very best to meet their feeding, sleeping, and other environmental needs and preferances while they are here. I also want to honor rules and commands followed in your household. It's important to be consistent with training wherever you are. I can give lots of potty breaks and outside time during the day as I'm home a lot. I have 2 school-aged children and a toddler. Besides school drop off and pick ups, my day typically is spent at home which means I. can give dogs plenty of potty breaks and outside time. I will typically care for up to 2 dogs at one time for both boarding and doggy day care. We have a 6 year old indoor cat and 2 dogs. Our dogs are 6 year old Lab Lucy (f) and 7 year old corgi Beau (m). When the dogs are outside, they are supervised at all times and if needed, are tethered to a 50ft long lead so that they can freely explore without getting too far. In the house, I have a designated dog room where I keep food/water and kennels for those who use one. This way they can get outside to go potty whenever they need and when I may not be around. I don't like leaving my own pets longer than a few hours so I don't intend to do the same with yours!
About: I’ve taken care of dog’s, horses, cats, chinchilla’s, for many years! Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to walk, feed, play, and bathe their animals!! I’m currently working 4 days a week I work during the night so I have plenty of time to time play with you’re pup or kitten! I keep the pets in their home other than walks so they stay comfortable and don’t get anxious being away from their area maintaining their cleanliness and comfortability is my priority!
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve. I currently work from home and have a very flexible. schedule all throughout the weekdays and weekends so your pets will be cared for during their entire stay. I also do not leave our own pets unattended for more than a couple hours so the same can be expected for yours as well. Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.
About: I have 3 dogs ranging from 1-10 1/2 years of age. We have done the puppy stage three times so I’m used to that and willing to help. I know how stressful it can be if you need to go out of town and still have a puppy at home that needs a little more attention, let me help you with this! I’m not afraid of any dogs I just need to meet them first before agreeing to a job just so that we know it’ll be a good fit. I’m currently working full time 12 hr days. So I will not schedule myself when I’m working unless of course this works for you. I’m just looking to see if I can help some people while they travel or need someone to come and check on their pets while they are away. I currently live on 2.5 acres so having dogs come to my house will not be a good fit. We have 3 dogs and sometimes sit for family and friends and their dogs come over and we closely watch them while outside so they don’t venture off into the woods. Right now I’m just looking to see if I can help with checking in on pets or walking them or even possibly house sitting if need be. I know how important routine and familiarity is important so I would like to meet the pets with the owners before agreeing to a job and this way we can make sure the pets are comfortable with me and also we can go over dos and don’ts with your pets.
“Our dogs had a BLAST! She walked both of our large dogs at the same time (which is insanely impressive considering they have a combined weight of 230 pounds). She took a great care of our babies - we will definitely be rebooking!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life — my mom has always had dogs and my dad has always had cats, so I’ve learned how to care for and connect with all kinds of pets from a young age. Right now, I have a playful kitten of my own, and my mom has two dogs that I help care for whenever I visit. I’m patient, responsible, and always attentive to each pet’s unique routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for exactly how their owner would want. You can always count on me for reliable care, consistent updates, and genuine love for every furry friend I look after. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life — I have a kitten at home and spend time with my mom’s dogs regularly, so feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles are built into my routine. My work schedule is flexible enough to allow plenty of time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. Whether it’s morning visits or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel comfortable and safe. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and bedtime — so everything feels familiar. I take extra care to keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always communicate with owners so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I take pride in following every detail of your pet’s care instructions — from feeding schedules to favorite walks and play routines. In your home, I make sure everything stays tidy and that your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I always provide updates and communication so you know your pets are happy, healthy, and cared for exactly how you’d want.
About: My saying is always “your pets are my pets” because I do truly believe all critters deserve the same amount of love, respect and compassion I grew up on a horse boarding ranch so I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals throughout my life.(: I work 4 1/2 days a week and would love to spend my days off helping others by taking care of their pets while they are away. I have a fully fenced yard and live a very active lifestyle so if your pet needs extra exercise, I would love to take them for walks, runs, hikes or just playing fetch in the backyard!
About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, my senior girl I’ve had since then is 18 yrs old and still going strong! I have two big Great Pyrenees/ Saint Bernard mixes and we take them on walks regularly. I work a nine to five and am free on weekends, so I hang out and take care of my pets in the evenings when I get off work. I don’t currently live at home with my pets so I don’t get to see them as often as I would like because I’m in school. My dogs live with my parents and we have a fenced in yard and a space in our house just for the dogs. I live by myself though if your dog isn’t comfortable around other animals!
“Mikki was great with our pup! It felt good knowing our baby was in good hands, and being taken on nice long walks. She was also very kind to our kitten. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up after our pup had an accident, when we never required it of her. Will definitely be using her services again ?”
About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.

I’m responsible, attentive, and love spending time outdoors, playing, and keeping pets happy and comfortable while their humans are away. When I care for pets in your home, I make sure to follow their routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide feeding, walks or playtime, litter box or potty care, and lots of attention and companionship. I respect your home and any rules you have, keep everything tidy, and send updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.
About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.
About: I have my own dogs and I’ve watched my families dogs as well. I’d say I definitely have experience in taking care of them so it’s not a worry. I’m a full-time student with availability Sunday through Tuesday. My schedule is limited, but I’d love to spend time caring for your furry friends! I offer lots of play time and one on one time with your pets. I’ll keep them safe, fed, and most importantly have fun 💖
About: Hi my name is Sheldan! I’m a mom to 2 boys (5yr old & 3yr old) who have a lot of energy! I’m a stay at home mom so we are home all day every day. I’ve always grown up with animals, dogs, cats, chickens, and even a hedgehog. I’m a huge animal lover, if I could rescue every animal in the shelter, trust me I would! I was on Rover for a little bit back in the summer months of 2019 and 2020-2021 then life got a little busy so I took a break. Both my kids grew up around our German Shepherd who passed in early 2024. We love to be outside and take our daily walks or bike rides when it’s not too hot out! I’m energetic, have a bubbly and fun personality and super easy going, hopefully you’ll get to see that! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open and flexible! During the summer months we are very flexible and available. My home is currently baby proofed so we don’t have anything lying around that could be harmful to your pet. We do not have a fenced in yard.

“This was such a great place for us to take our pups. We actually aren’t from around the area but we’re there visiting and took a two day trip while there that we couldn’t take our dogs on. Mary was great to communicate with and was very quick to respond to any questions I had.”
“She is really nice, and very kind. Our dog stayed with her two nights and got very comfortable and exciting time. We , our family like her professional support very much and can trust. Unfortunately we live far from this location, not much opportunity to use again. But hopefully we would like to come back again when having a chance.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“This was my dogs first time boarding in several years, and she can be very anxious. Finding a place where she can be in a safe and welcoming home environment was a blessing! It was great to have daily feedback on how she’s doing and photos of her time there. It is clear that Emily and her family love dogs!”
“Erin was incredible! She invited us and Fuzz to come meet her and her family, see where Fuzz would be staying, and welcomed any questions. Fuzz was comfortable right away. We received pictures every day which made my son (Fuzz's boy!) happy. He truly became part of their family while we were away and we are grateful for such a pleasant experience! Thank you, Erin!”
“Thank you, Todd, for taking such good care of our girl! The updates were very much appreciated. The pictures were nice clear pictures of Noel and you took care to take heed of every detail of her needs while she was with you. We will definitely look you up again if we ever need another dog sitter!”
“Tony, you are an amazing dog sitter! Sadie who is generally anxious did very well with you. She came home and instead of being clingy and nervous shes very content! So thank you! Tony sent photos and videos daily, assuring me Sadie was in good hands.”
“Can’t say enough thanks to Araceli! Our dog was taken care of very well and she came back home very happy. Araceli shared pictures and stories about our dog all the time during our time away and we felt safe and comfortable that our dog stayed with her. It is our second time boarding with Araceli and she is the best!”
“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
About: Ive been taking care of animals such as dogs, cats, and even critters since I was just a little kid up until now at 19 years old. Ive dedicated most of my life and time to take care of animals all over whether its just my neighbors or a homeless critter off the streets to provide quality care and affection since every animal is deserving of it even those who struggle with health, behavior health, ptsd because they are especially deserving of adequate care and love! I would be honored to watch over your loved one, in return it helps me with my degree for college working in animal behavioral health, aswell as animal health in general. Im also a big runner/walker and average 20,000 steps every day so if your critter is adventurous or even a couch potato im hands on with the experience! I look forward to working with you! 😊 Im currently disabled so Im not working at all aside from doing online college from home. Every day I spend some time getting out of the house while doing work from my phone to average my daily activity. I spend a lot of time volunteering for the community at AA meetings, feeding the homeless, animal homelessness, food banks, etc to help around the neighborhood. Im moving to ohio to finish my treatment at the cleveland clinic organ transplant center in order to do that I need to be able to make income and what better way to do that then working with critters ive loved my whole life! I have a gated community inside where my apartment sits just close to Triangle Center. It would be very difficult for any animal to get loose because the fences are metal and taller than a 6ft man to prevent any break ins or even break outs in your case! My home is inspected every other month to make sure the environment is healthy and hazardous free, lots of free space and importantly scent, and smoke free! I suffer from some health issues aswell as family so its important there isn't much fragrance in the home, aswell as it being kept clean and in shape for easy access around the house and preventing sickness. Medicine is stored and locked away aswell as any hazardous objects to prevent accidents from occurring.
“Kelsey made this a great experience. It’s the first time I’d left my old man with someone, and Kelsey made that so much easier with photos and updates along the way. I would highly recommend her, we will definitely reach out to her if we are in the area again.”
“My dog Bailey had a great time with Elaine and her menagerie. Lots of walks and many other dogs to play with. Elaine kept me updated on Bailey’s status and activities every day, including photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was traveling. Very convenient to Portland Airport, so I will definitely board here again next time I’m flying out of PDX.”

We will definitely bring our dog back.”

“This is the second time I’ve left my dog with Chelsea, and it has gone super smoothly both times! She made it very easy for drop off/pickup, is very easy to work with, and very respectful of what my dog needs. Will definitely rebook with her next time!”
