Personalized care for your dog or cat - Trout Lake

“We were so impressed with Laura’s care of our dog Loki! Loki seemed perfectly content with her stay and we would certainly recommend Laura to anyone who might need care in Hood River.”

“Skye is the reason Rover is around. She always leaves me with peace of mind that Braza is well taken care of and not just safe but actually cared for. That's something you don't get from a regular boarding facility with tons of dogs in a sterile environment with overworked and overcrowded facilities. She is always very accommodating for me and my schedule but most of all gives Braza all the proper attention and adventure he craves.”

Thiago M.

“He was fantastic with my two dogs. Gave me updates, including videos and pictures. My girls came home happy and tired. I will absolutely book with Charlie again.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a consistent routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving excellent care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion! I’m available to care for your pets Saturday–Monday and every other Tuesday. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’m happy to provide reliable and loving care during those days. Message me anytime to check availability for your dates! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and lots of attention. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need while you’re away. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.

“Cory is wonderful!! Our dog is pretty nervous and hasn't been watched by many different people, she did an excellent job of asking the right questions and setting them up for success. They had a blast! Highly recommend Cory!”

Beda C.

“Makenzie was such a great caregiver and made sure our dog was calm when there were fireworks. She is so sweet to care for our dog as if he were her own! Thank you for the peace of mind and great communication!”

About: I grew up with a golden retriever and had a Heeler mix for 16 years that traveled cross country with me. I’ve got great experience with elderly dogs and young dogs alike. My fiancé and I are home quite a bit with fenced yard, but love to hike in the area to make sure dogs get all the exercise they need! I have mornings off, so plenty of time for walks and hikes. My fiancé is a ski coach with summers off and is home most of the day to hang with the dogs. I have a fully fenced yard to play in with plenty of sunshine. Plenty of time spent at home to socialize and exercise! Morning and evening walks close to parks and hiking.

“Our dog was very happy and comfortable with Lyndsay! She was great at communicating and responded quickly.”

Paige H.

“Emily was so great!! She watched our golden retriever who has a lot of energy and my dog was so tired and happy when I picked her up. Her dogs are so sweet and had so much fun with my dog, and I felt like Emily was really caring and understanding of some diet needs she has. I’ll definitely board with her again!”

Madeline A.

“Josie was unbelievably accommodating, we really didn’t have our schedule down and she was willing to adapt with us.”

About: We are a married couple that work from home and have a friendly 3 year old golden retriever and an 11 month Collie Mix. We have decided to host one dog (family) at a time. We are home bodies and our pups love having company. When you book with us feel safe knowing both of us will be at home with your dog and monitoring their safety. We both grew up with family dogs and other pets and we understand the scary feeling of boarding your dog. We are happy to meet and answer any questions before taking in your dog. We will update you daily (at a minimum) of how they are doing, including sending pictures of course. As mentioned, we work from home. Our schedules are very flexible. When we book a stay we plan on staying home and playing with the dogs. We have a fully fenced backyard where our boy Lambeau plays. Your dog will be part of the family and free to roam the house and yard as they please.

About: I have 3 years of professional experience working with dogs and have been around animals my whole life. I grew up alongside dogs and have a deep love for making any pets day better. What sets me apart is my experience with dogs who need extra care and understanding. I have hands-on experience with special needs dogs, including caring for a dog who partially uses a wheelchair. I am comfortable assisting with mobility support, medications, senior care, and adjusting routines to meet each dog’s individual needs. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and dogs that may be more challenging or require extra patience and structure. I genuinely enjoy working with high-energy dogs who need both physical and mental stimulation, as well as calm, mellow dogs who prefer a slower pace. I firmly believe every dog deserves respect, patience, and high-quality care, regardless of age, size, energy level, or behavioral challenges. I focus on creating a safe, positive, and stress-free experience by following routines closely, reading body language, and adapting my approach to each dog’s personality. My goal is to earn both the pet’s trust and the owner’s peace of mind. I currently work part-time and would love to take that as an opportunity to care for your pups! I'm available most weekdays for walks/hikes as well as drop-in visits. I currently provide care exclusively in clients homes, which allows pets to stay in a familiar, low-stress environment. I am comfortable adapting to pets schedules to ensure their exercise, feeding, and any medications they have stay familiar to them and keep them as comfortable as possible.

“Kaycee was great! She spent extra time with my little girl and made quick friends. Definitely would recommend!”

Jesse S.

“Sydney was awesome - she cared for my horses, goat, and kitties with kindness and respect. She executed a complicated feeding and care plan and for that I am grateful. She communicated easily and had everything under control. I recommend Sydney to anyone with animals - they can entrust them and their home to Sydney and have a stress free getaway. Thank you, Sydney!”

About: I’m Carina, I’m currently home with my one year old and two sweet senior dogs, Gabby and Roscoe, whose easy pace these days leaves me extra time and love for more pets. I have a background in childcare and outdoor education, so I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading what a dog or cat needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and treat every pet like part of the family. I am at home with my one year old, we have a very flexible schedule. We love spending our day with animals and happy to move our schedule around as needed. I offer walks , drop in visit or over night visit. Can’t offer boarding at my house. Communication with me is direct, respectful and easy.

“Thanks for checking in on our girls! Nevaeh was great- and did very well with our reactive pup especially.”

Emily C.

“Charlie was great! I felt calm, and comfortable leaving my Millie , for the first time ever, in his care. He sent the best video of her having a blast running and playing. Highly recommend Charlie!!!! Can’t thank him enough!”

Teresa F.

“Loki had a nice relaxed time hanging out with Laura for the day while we were out and about seeing some sights around Hood River. Got a couple of fun pics of Loki throughout her stay, and Laura helped her feel like part of the family while there. Thanks, Laura, for taking such good care of my little old lady!”

Angela L.

“Cory was a lifesaver for me. I was in town for a wedding and frantic and she picked Franklin up and dropped him off for me at my hotel. She was super flexible about my time leaving since I wasn’t exactly sure when I’d be back. She sent me photos and updates the whole day. I’m so grateful she was available.”

Sarah G.

“Mackenzie was fantastic with our Moseley and Mochi was such a fun new friend! The pups were fast friends and had a great time together. So happy to have Makenzie in the Gorge for pup playdates that allow us some time to do things where our pooch cannot join us, all while knowing she is having as much fun as we are!”

Samantha & Colton S.

“Sam has a great property for dog sitting, fully fenced in with indoor AC available. My two dogs fully enjoyed their stay, helping with the garden and playing with her adorable pup. I would highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter. 15/10 experience!”

About: Growing up, my family always had cats, dogs, Guinea pigs, ferrets, fish, and more. Being around animals is nothing new to me and is a huge part of why I have a huge heart for animals now. I currently live in BZ Corner in a house with a fenced yard with my two cats, Archie and Oliver, and my golden retriever named Seager. Archie is 4 years old, Oliver is 6 years old, and Seager is a year old. I do work two part time jobs, but I am available most days in the afternoon. Just send me a message and I’ll let you know if I am available! I love all animals! My cats are my babies and I shower them with love. They have lots of toys and even have harnesses for me to take them on walks and two cat trees to climb on. Seager, the newest baby to the family, is my pride and joy. He is crazy but so loving. He gets to go on multiple walks a day and even gets to go down to the waterfront on the weekends. After a walk with your pet, I will make sure your pet has water and place them back where they were before I took them on our walk. I will of course make sure they get their energy out with toys, give them a ton of pets, and make sure they go potty on our walk as well. I do have a large yard, and it is newly fenced! I live far away from the main road and do not have many neighbors.

“Jenni was great and very sweet to our pup! Timely and communicative, we will be using her again!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I do work varying shifts from 10-12 hours 3-4x a week. However, outside of work I will still provide everything they may need! With lots of pets, play time and going outside! I do have a full yard and I moved to a house so i no longer live in an apartment. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it. I play with them when I can and they are inside cats.
