“Our first day with Fiona stopping in, but I can tell she’s going to be great! The dogs loved her on first sight and she was ver communicative during her visit. I used to work from home and they are used to being with me most of the day, so it was a stressful day and nice to know that somebody who loves animals was with them for part of the day.”

About: I am a Portland educator who loves to bike, hike, and adventure around town. I grew up with two large dogs and miss caring for pups! I am considering adopting a puppy, but before I do, I want to experience pet care more consistently. I am available for long walks, beach runs, and couch cuddles. I work until 3pm M-F, with some time around noon to walk and play. I will have much more flexibility this summer. I love to run after work! I love playing with dogs just as much as I love a good couch cuddle. Depending on the dog's personality, I am available for hanging at home or running on the beach.
“Thanks to Lindsay’s attentive care and communication I felt that my kittens were well looked after while I was away!! She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures and was always quick to reply back to my messages. I would highly recommend Lindsay for any pet parent!!”
“Samantha took are of my two babies while I was away for the weekend, one of which needed daily ear drops. She treated them as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her services in the future!”
“Grace is a gem! She has taken care of my sweet pup, Hera, a couple times now and I always feel at ease knowing she's in loving hands. Hera adores Grace, to the point that it feels like I'm dropping her off at her vacation home. Grace is not only reliable and responsible, but she goes above and beyond to make sure Hera has all the walks, love, and belly rubs she needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have grown up with animals and took on an active responsibility for them by age 10. I have experience and dogs, cats, birds and horses even the occasional snake and love them all equally. My dog experience if everything from a Chihuahua to a Great Pyrenees (though if you were to ask me my German Shepard’s always held a special place in me heart). I currently work and attend graduate school. I am available all day on weekends and after 5pm all week days except for Wednesdays as I will be attending classes. I always strive to meet the needs of the area I have experience with many diets and also enjoy taking my pups and any other pup in my care for long walks or for a good romp in the dog park to burn all their energy.
