“Araceli & her husband were amazing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They took care of our Sullivan for 2 weeks while we were on our honeymoon, and their updates, messages, and pictures reflected their commitment to ensuring that our baby felt safe and comfortable.

I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for a sitter. 💜 They are truly lovely!!”

About: I have had cats my entire life, from a mean old barn cat who only liked me to a spunky gray kitten who now runs my home. I’ve been scooping and cleaning litter boxes since I was 7 years old and still do it to this day. I have raised 3 kittens through my life, as well as becoming like a second parent to my best friend’s cat! I love cats dearly and know how sensitive of creatures they can be. I treat them with the upmost care and respect.

“Michaela was flexible, communicative and a good listener, thorough and conscientious. We appreciated knowing that our animals were well cared for while out of town. Highly recommended.”
“Margherita was a reliable helper to my cats while I was away. I could completely count on her to follow instructions for the home visit and be a great companion to my social cats who miss human interactions and play. I appreciate her help very much and feel at ease without worries about my cats. I will definitely book her again when I need to travel.”
About: I have 5 years of experience owning and caring for my own cat, and recently I lived with two playful kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention.

“Marissa is a fantastic pet sitter. My cats adore her and she gives them so much attention on her visits. I am always so excited to see her photo updates. My cats are not overly high-need, but she does a great job making sure their food is full, their water is fresh, and their litter boxed is cleaned. Marissa is very easy to communicate with and someone I absolutely trust with my pets. I have so much peace of mind knowing she will be there to take care of my best buds when I am out of town.”
“Lisa is the absolute BEST. We love having her come visit our kits and they love her. Even our shy kitty is starting to warm up to her and we are so glad to have someone we can trust to make sure they are safe, healthy, and well fed while we are away! We travel quite a lot and truly appreciate every update, photo, message, and observation. It truly gives us peace of mind to have Lisa taking care of our little furbabies!”
“Jenny is so great with our cats! We were nervous to leave because our senior cat needs to take a pill and other medication daily, but Jenny was great with handling it while we were gone. I know I’ll be using her services again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember (I’ve been sneaking animals in my home since I was in diapers😌), and being around them truly makes me happiest. I’m incredibly empathetic toward animals (I don’t even kill bugs!), so every pet in my care is treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. The dogs in my photos are my beloved old pups (Milo the Golden Retriever and Yoshi the Shih Tzu) Milo was 8wks when I got him and Yoshi was 5wks — I don’t currently have any dogs, but I do have two friendly cats at home. Lucy my tiny little black cat🖤 and Foggy my orange menace 🧡 (both rescues) I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs over the years, from large breeds like Dobermans to small breeds like Shih Tzus. I’ve also had cats my entire life so growing up half my cats were kitties I found, some even needing bottle feeding. I'm comfortable with all things feline — from playful kittens to independent seniors. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, birds, and many other kinds of pets throughout my life. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like family. 💛 Haaay! 🌾 *ba-dum tss* As you see being a stand up comedian wasn’t my calling so here I am 🥲 My name is way too long so I just go by Mari I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of free time and even more love to give your fur babies! I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom! 😎 I currently live in Vancouver, Being home most of the day means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and one-on-one time. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays from 7am–4pm and Sundays from 7am–1pm, with flexibility whenever possible to help fit your schedule (I remember how hard it was finding help when I had my pups and ended up taking them to work with me) Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, a potty break, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to help! We will spend much time out exploring, enjoying fresh air, getting in plenty of movement and mental stimulation. Walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor adventures are very important to me in order to keep a pup happy and healthy! I’d love to be your fur baby’s (and yours!) new friend and help make their day (also yours!😌) a little brighter!✨🐾🩷 Expect lots of cute photos and videos so you can see your fur baby’s enjoying every walk, play session, and cuddle break.📸 Your fur baby's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — they’ll get plenty of love, cuddles, and care, and will feel right at home!🩷

About: I am a nurse, but I have always wanted to work with dogs, and I see this Pet Care opportunity as a chance to fulfill my childhood dream. I'm thrilled with this pet care opportunity because of my deep love for animals. I believe my nursing experience will be valuable, as caring for patients has taught me compassion and attention to detail, which I hope to bring to the pets in your care. I would love to contribute to your team and learn from your experiences in pet care. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting and sharing our mutual enthusiasm for animals. I am happy to adjust my schedule if needed to help out, so please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss specific times. Looking forward to your response. I live 10 minutes from Portland Airport. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I am committed to providing attentive, loving care that ensures their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I strive to engage with animals in ways that help them feel secure and appreciated, including maintaining familiar routines. My home features a spacious, fenced yard where we enjoy daily walks and playing fetch. I have experience caring for my own pet, Macy and in my childhood other animals such as parrots, fishes, and even a monkey. One of my favorite moments with dogs is play fetch—seeing their excitement always reminds me just how rewarding caring for animals can be. I take my responsibilities seriously and am always eager to learn more about each pet’s unique personality and age. To help maintain a safe environment, I kindly ask that your dog be protected with Simparica or a similar product recommended by your preferred veterinarian, such as Frontier, which guards against ticks and fleas Please let me know if you have any specific concerns, preferences, or special requests. I am open to feedback and happy to adapt to your pet's unique needs and routines. I am available for a meeting any day this week to discuss your loved one’s requirements, and after our meeting I will tailor my care to your pet’s needs. Thank you again for entrusting me with this important responsibility. I look forward to meeting you and your pet, and to providing compassionate care that brings you peace of mind.
“Genevieve went above and beyond for me and my dog today. It was a last minute request for a new dog to spend the day with her and because I wouldn't be able to drive in the evening she dropped him off for me. So unbelievably helpful. I got pictures of him having way too much fun and I could tell when she was leaving how much he liked her. Knowing he was being so taken care of today made things so much easier. Thank you”
“Upon initial meet and greet, Margaret was very organized and caring making sure to understand all of Romans needs, allergies, and activity levels. He ran a ton to get his energy out so knocked out right when we got home. Margaret creates a great space for daycare for small to mid-sized doggos.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid. With 20 years experience in animal care, I have a way with animals that makes them feel right at home. I’m Experienced in caring for both dogs and cats, I provide dependable, detail oriented pet sitting, tailored to each animal’s unique needs. My approach combines structure, affection, and reliability to ensure your pets stay relaxed, well cared for, and loved in your absence. I’ve watched pets for 3+ years as a stay at home parent and I’m excited to meet you and your pet. I’m currently a stay at home parent, so I’m here at the house all day. I have two children, 5 and a 3 1/2 year old. They love animals so much and are out of the house during the day for school. I do occasionally leave to go to the grocery store or appointments, but I’m never gone long my day consists of early morning wake ups to prepare for school days and later evenings tending to the house. As a full-time stay-at-home parent, my daily life allows me to give pets steady attention and care throughout the entire day. I intentionally structure my routine to include regular meals, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet rest, so pets feel comfortable and included. They’re not just checked in on—they’re part of a warm, attentive home where they receive consistent care, reassurance, and love. Pets in my home are cared for in a calm, safe, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain their regular routines with consistent feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, quiet rest, or extra comfort, I make sure each pet feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. My goal is to continue the same routine that each pet has on a daily here in my home. I strive to basically be their home away from home.
“Brandi and her husband took care of Sparky and Remi really well. I’m glad they played together whole time with Brandi’s pup, Nala. We definitely will request another daycare service from Brandi if we need!!”
“Jenny was very prompt with communication and provided lots of information. She took great care of my 100 lb husky mix. She kept me updated on my dog’s activities. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Megan and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I got my very first dog when I was 7, and ever since then, dogs and cats have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, my family always had 1–2 dogs in the house, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Now, I share my home with a sweet dog and a cuddly cat, and I truly love giving them all the attention and care they need. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: - Lots of love, attention, and snuggles - Daily updates and cute photos - Clear, friendly communication - A safe, comfortable home where they’ll be treated like family I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pets, so I’ll always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for like my own. I work from home, so I can give your pets lots of attention throughout the day. Every 3–4 hours, we take walks around the neighborhood, and in the evenings, when the weather is nice, we head to our neighborhood dog park for some extra playtime. For kitties, I make sure they get plenty of indoor adventures to keep them happy and entertained. I live in a gated neighborhood, and there’s a fenced dog park just downstairs from my apartment, so dogs can safely enjoy walks and playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a safe indoor space to explore, and all our windows have secure screens so there’s no worry about them sneaking out.
“Jennifer and her family took care of Junie for the evening and junie was so happy when she got home! We will always request Jennifer whenever we need a sitter! Junie loves hanging out with their family & dogs!”
“Absolutely amazing was the first time I've ever left my pup with someone besides family and boy did he love his new friend Alexa! She is super sweet and amazing with my pups! She will definitely be the one I reach out to for further pup day care without a doubt! Thanks again”
“Brittany was amazing with our pups. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout the day. This will be our go to spot for dog care in the future.”
“Jenny was great! She was able to accept a very last minute request for doggie daycare. My pups came home last night and they are still snoozy today. I will definitely use Jenny again! :)”
“María is the sweetest soul! she did such a wonderful job caring for my puppy Bones. he came back wagging his tail & ready to go to bed! she got all his energy out! Bones struggles with very very bad separation anxiety, & maría reassured me from the start that he was in good hands & would not be left alone. which has been a struggle in the past with previous sitters. Bones can also have some behaviors like jumping on people or the counter tops, & she did amazing setting that boundary with him not allowing him to hustle her & get away with being a menace! María kept me updated and sent me pictures quite often which i really appreciated! She made Bones & I feel comfortable & confident with our decision to go with her. she is so lovely & i would recommend her to anyone who may be worried leaving there pup w someone they don’t know! María is great!”
“Angela seems very professional and trust worthy. Argos has enjoyed his time with her and we will be using her again. Thanks for helping to care for the favorite mammal in the household!”
“Emily & Eric took great care of our pups while we were visiting from out of town for a family Christmas party. We appreciate them being so accommodating with the festivities ending a little later than expected. Our fur babies were obviously very comfortable in their home because they are so calm in their crates in the car at the moment. We will definitely leave our girls with Emily and Eric again when we are back in Vancouver!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, horses, and other farm animals since I was 7 years old. I grew up in a family with four big dogs and spent a lot of time training them in agility, helping at equestrian centers and other farms where I encountered and worked with all different kinds of working dogs, and spent years studying dog training, grooming, and handling. I currently have a highly reactive Pyrenees/German Shepherd who has allowed me to find a new passion in more deeply figuring out how different kinds of animals' minds work and learn to cater to their varying needs and learning styles, a mini Aussie who I am now working with in the beginning stages of agility training and having fun learning all sorts of different types of obedience and tricks with, and an Aussie/Pyr newly 1 year old who is already my best mountain biking buddy and has had a very strong start with agility training. I have also raised a litter of 10 puppies, so I am experienced and comfortable with dogs of any age. Their worlds are only as big as we make them, and they deserve all the love and experiences they can get! I work remotely, so my schedule is fully flexible most days. I have to schedule meet & greets and start/end times around my meeting schedule daily, but once I am there can cater to whatever you dog’s daily schedule need is I will follow any directions you leave me, from crating, feeding, and play/cuddle time instructions if I am sitting, or whatever sort of walking specifications or request you have to best to cater to you dog if I am only taking him/her on walks.
“Haleigh has sat Rocky on a few occasions now when I've been in town for work and can't take him into the office. Appreciate her responsiveness and I know my pup is in trusted hands!”

I have worked with senior pets, puppies, experience administering medications, etc. I get to know your furry family member and observe behaviors and what they like and don’t like. Also paying attention to change in behavior. I took a break from offering pet care services due to life changes, which is why there’s a gap between previous and most current pet care, but I am excited to get back to doing what I enjoy most! 😊 I currently work a full time job in the hospital and work variable shifts.

“Hannah is a loving dog carer/sitter. I left my dog Blizzard with her for a week and she sent plenty of updates and photos. Blizzard was well cared for and had a great time in her in-laws’ giant yard too! I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!!!!’”
“Thanks Jennifer & the entire family for welcoming Kaia into your home. She felt loved by all and had a great time playing with your children. Being able to roam your home, regular walks, and running around your medium size back yard is a real plus for a active Lab. I appreciated the daily updates and photos to know she was receiving the best of care. By the way, Kaia said thanks for the chicken breast but was a little sorry. . .she thought you put it on the counter for her! I would recommend you without question to anyone looking to have you take care of their precious pet. I look forward to the next time we go out of town knowing Kaia will be safe and happy with your family.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since a kid. With 20 years experience in animal care, I have a way with animals that makes them feel right at home. I’m Experienced in caring for both dogs and cats, I provide dependable, detail oriented pet sitting, tailored to each animal’s unique needs. My approach combines structure, affection, and reliability to ensure your pets stay relaxed, well cared for, and loved in your absence. I’ve watched pets for 3+ years as a stay at home parent and I’m excited to meet you and your pet. I’m currently a stay at home parent, so I’m here at the house all day. I have two children, 5 and a 3 1/2 year old. They love animals so much and are out of the house during the day for school. I do occasionally leave to go to the grocery store or appointments, but I’m never gone long my day consists of early morning wake ups to prepare for school days and later evenings tending to the house. As a full-time stay-at-home parent, my daily life allows me to give pets steady attention and care throughout the entire day. I intentionally structure my routine to include regular meals, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet rest, so pets feel comfortable and included. They’re not just checked in on—they’re part of a warm, attentive home where they receive consistent care, reassurance, and love. Pets in my home are cared for in a calm, safe, and loving environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I maintain their regular routines with consistent feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, quiet rest, or extra comfort, I make sure each pet feels secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while they’re away from home. My goal is to continue the same routine that each pet has on a daily here in my home. I strive to basically be their home away from home.
“Brittany is a fantastic sitter. Upon meeting her we all instantly felt comfortable and confident that she would be wonderful to take care of our dogs. We felt so comfortable leaving them and were able to fully enjoy our vacation. She is communicative and quick to reply to any questions. I could tell by the pictures that she sent that my dogs felt at home. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“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.”
“Kristen is fantastic! This was the second time she cared for our dog Watson while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier. Her communication is excellent, with thoughtful updates and great photos sent to us throughout his stay. Most importantly, Watson clearly loves spending time with her. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust!”
