About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I can remember I love and care about all animals and would treat yours like my own! I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I'm just looking for extra money to make so I can go out and do more things with my kids! I can definitely help leash train if that's something you would need or train in any other way I've trained every animal I've had so it's pretty easy for me!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been dog sitting for family friends, which has given me experience with different dogs, personalities, and routines. I’m also a CNA, so being patient, responsible, and attentive to the little things comes naturally to me. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I work as an on-call CNA and am currently in an online BSN program I have lots of flexibility and can work around other peoples schedules! Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, I want to make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime while also respecting their space. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, make sure everything is left the way I found it, and send you plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Ashley is wonderful! We’ve hired her to walk our two small pups midday M-F on a long term basis and we’re SO happy that we found her. She’s very communicative, kind, thoughtful and so very loving to our pups. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our little ones are getting love and attention, exercise, fresh air, treats, play time and tummy rubs while we’re away. We highly recommend her. Thank you Ashley!!”

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like family and my well-rounded experience with dogs at every life stage and temperament. I have hands-on experience training puppies, helping them build positive habits through structure, patience, and consistency. I’ve also worked with dogs who’ve shown previous aggression or reactivity and know how to create a calm, controlled environment that supports behavior management and trust-building. In addition, I’ve cared for senior dogs post-surgery, including those needing extra support with mobility, comfort, and detailed medication schedules. I’m confident managing complex care routines and always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, aging, or needs a little extra help, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building a bond with every pet I care for. You can trust that your dog will be in thoughtful, experienced, and loving hands while you’re away. With a background in pharmacy and medication management, I bring a high level of attention, care, and reliability to every cat or dog I look after. I have a senior black lab of my own, so I truly understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle companionship—especially for aging pets or those with special medical needs. My schedule is mostly available evenings and weekends as I do work a full-time job. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playtime, walks, or help with medications, I tailor my approach to their unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of pet temperaments, from affectionate lap cats to active dogs or more independent animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With me, your cat or dog will be in calm, capable hands—and you’ll get regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like family For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. During drop-ins, I follow your care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box scooping, or just giving your pet some love and attention. I take time to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, seen, and cared for before I leave. For walks, I make sure your dog gets exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and comfortable. I’m happy to adjust the pace and route based on their energy level, age, or mobility. I always prioritize leash safety, weather-appropriate care, and positive interactions. For overnight stays, I always leave each home in its original condition. I recognize I’m a guest in someone’s sacred space and I treat it as such. I am considerate of other’s homes and do what I can to ensure animals feel safe and comfortable with me in their space. I always appreciate detailed care instructions for overnight stays but I do listen, ask lots of questions at meet and greets, and take detailed notes of my own so I don’t forget anything. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!
“We booked Frank for dog walking and all three sessions were smooth and seamless! We appreciate having an option for someone to come in and give our girl a little extra care. Thank you, Frank!”

About: I have grown up with a dog in my home as well as have been around lots of pets! Have 3 cat fur babies of my own that I adore, love dogs as well! Currently working 4, 10 hour shifts as a medical assistant so am available 3 whole days a week 2 of the days being Saturday and Sunday and my day off varies weekly but I know what days I have off each week through the end of the year I will make sure each gets play time as well as walk time across the way we have a dog park and lots of place to run!
About: I’ve had experience with dogs for over 5 years now, including those reaching the end of their life span and with specialized health needs. I’m currently a full time student, but have full availability Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and will be open after 1pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I can easily crate and walk dogs as needed, and play to fulfill any health/social needs! I’m also good with keeping distance if that required.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals. I don't see pet care as just a job—I see it as caring for a member of your family. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I believe in patience, kindness, and clear communication, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to provide the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, refreshing food and water, and helping maintain your pet's normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm a mom of three and work part-time in the medical field. My schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care while balancing my family and work responsibilities. On the days I work, I'm typically available after the afternoon/evening. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends! If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's routine. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles—if that's what they enjoy! I respect every pet's unique personality, boundaries, and routine, and I'll always care for them in the way that's best for them. For everyone's safety, dogs will always remain on a leash during walks unless we're in a secure, enclosed area with your permission. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.
About: I’ve had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience as a dog walker, house sitter, and cat sanctuary caregiver, and I genuinely love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I take pride in being attentive to the little details and making sure each pet’s individual needs and routines are cared for. I love playing with dogs, going on walks, and spending time with all kinds of animals. After working at a cat sanctuary for a year, I have a special place in my heart for cats and plenty of experience caring for them with patience and love. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own! I am a full time student online earning my degree in Biology. So, I have plenty of time to take care of your baby. I am available weekends and weekdays to give your baby plenty of love and care. I provide care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, playtime, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of the client’s home and take pride in keeping everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away.
About: Very similarly to my history with cats, I've never known a life without at least one pup in my life! Although I don't have my own dog at the moment because I have no space for pups to play, and I know they need to be able to get energy out, and an apartment isn't the best place for that, my Mom still has two dogs that I care for often. As she did with cats, my Mom bred Lhasa Apsos on several occasions, and of course, those doggies were nothing less than completely pampered(as they should be)! I've helped with everything from bathing dogs of all sizes, to walking dogs, to actually helping with delivering puppies! I've had so many breeds of dogs, each with their own personality! I've had Lhasa Apsos, Australian Shepards, Mastiffs, a Saint Bernard, Golden Retrievers, Labradoodles, Greyhounds, and more! My Mom currently has 2 Labradoodles, and I've watched/dog sat them on several occasions. I'd love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your pup(s), and help you in any way I can! If you're in need of a dogsitter, please feel free to reach out! Have a fabulous day! I don't have many times during the week where I'm not available! I will be busy on Thursday mornings until 11:30 for the next several weeks, but aside from that, I'm very flexible and can work with what you need for your schedule. I will be able to care for dogs in your home as you need me to. I can care for cats in my apartment if needed, and if you're comfortable with your cat(s) being around my kitties. No matter what, I will be able to come to you and your cat(s)/dogs(s) and help out!
About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with

About: I've worked in the pet care industry for 8 years now. I have experience working in a vet hospital and in grooming salons. I know how to read cat and dog body language and have more hands on experience with pets than your typical sitter. I can provide baths and nail trims for both dogs and cats on request. I recently moved to the greater Portland area so my schedule is wide open at the moment. Sunday - Saturday just let me know what you need.

About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.
