About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, energetic dogs—and I enjoy making sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I help walk and spend time with dogs waiting for their forever homes. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or pet sitting, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I also love sending updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work in the clinic four days a week, but I’m available on Thursdays and weekends. During those times, I’m able to dedicate my attention to walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so caring for pets fits perfectly into my schedule and allows me to give them the attention, exercise, and care they need I live in an apartment, so I make sure pets get outside regularly for walks, bathroom breaks, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy level. I’m dedicated to keeping pets active, engaged, and comfortable while they’re in my care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions.

About: I’ve had a love for animals my whole life, I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born and currently have 5 pets at home! (2 dogs 3 cats) I have been house sitting my pets for a few years while my parents go out of town, and have also helped a few family friends with their pets. I have dealt with untrained dogs, high maintenance dogs, seniors, puppies, and urinary issues. I’m currently working part-time from 5-9pm. Before then, I will have all day to tend to your pets and let them out for some exercise and potty breaks. When I do run errands, I am never gone for more than 3 hours at a time. For dog walking, I am able to walk however far your dog needs to ensure they get the right amount of exercise. For sitting, I will make sure your pet gets let out for potty breaks and the proper amount of care during the day, whether it is a walk or a small training exercise. For drop in visits, I will tend to whatever your pet needs during that visit.

“Alison and Tom were fantastic with our three pomeranians! They first did a meet and greet to make sure they could learn everything they needed to know about their care and personalities. We really appreciated that extra step. They visited the boys exactly when they said they would and sent us pictures while were gone along with updates. I'm so glad we found them and will definitely enlist their services again.”

“Emma took great care of our dog on her drop in visit/walk! Our dog Hoku loves her and was so happy to see her. I trust Emma with my pets and it puts my mind at ease knowing they will be in great hands when we are away from home! She is so dependable, I will definitely continue to rebook her!”

Zoe H.

“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

About: Am I a dog person or cat person? Can't choose, I've grown up around both! In fact, throw in bunnies and reptiles too: you name it, I've trained it. I bring a gentle energy to each and every pet, because just like people, they all have different and unique personalities. I'm currently a college student trying to fill time during the summer. My schedule is beyond free, so PLEASE I would be more than happy to take care of your pet. Routines are essential for pets, and I recognize that! I'm experienced in following all different types of quirky directions, so let me know exactly how your pets like it.

“a life savior!!! she helped me out when my other dog walker bailed very last minute! she was very responsive and saved me from calling out from work!! thank you thank you so so much!”

Kendra H.

“Lucinda made multiple extra visits to my house (outside of scheduled walks) to try & get my very fearful dog to get to know her. She is very patient & understanding, I just wish my dog would be more cooperative! I appreciate how she went above & beyond to try & accommodate my scaredy cat dog. <3”

Lisa J.

“Thanks for taking care of Issa this week Erika! She enjoys her outings with you so much. It’s great to know we can trust you to take care of her for us. 😊”

“Meg and Ryan are amazing! Treat our dogs like family and go that extra mile to make sure they are good - which is awesome with our senior dog. Am using and will continue to use their services!!”

About: Dogs are my joy. I would love to get to know yours! I take care to provide the personalized, responsible attention each dog deserves. I have two wonderful cats of my own and many dog friends throughout my community. Ever since childhood, I have always had (and loved) dogs and cats in my home. My professional experience includes working as an adoption counselor for the Humane Society of Utah (where I walked and cared for many different breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages of dogs), raising puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind, volunteering for Animal Aid shelter here in Portland, and petsitting and dog-walking for family and friends. I'm a mom doing part-time homeschooling and freelance work, which gives me a lot of flexibility to work around your schedule. I'm available for morning, midday, or afternoon dog walks. Your pet's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I strictly follow access instructions, maintain complete control on walks, and double-check every lock before leaving. I provide clear communication and photo updates so that we're always on the same page.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them! I grew up with several dogs, including a Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, and Husky, so I’m very comfortable caring for and being around larger, energetic breeds. Growing up with dogs taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are to keeping them happy and comfortable. I currently have two cats of my own, so caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. I’d treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer stays as needed. Having two pets of my own also means caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care, so I always treat both with respect. I’ll closely follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel comfortable and keep their routine as familiar as possible while you’re away.

“Elizabeth took her time introducing herself to my dog who was a little nervous at first but she won her over in minutes and off they happily went on their walk. My pup came back happy and sufficiently tuckered out. :) Elizabeth gave lots of details about how the walk went and did great with dog handling. I’ll definitely call on her again!”

Elisa P.

“Tina is amazing. She has a natural gentle way with pets. My dog is a rescue dog who gets anxious and nervous around strangers. Tina was able to connect and build Dodger’s trust instantly. She is very dependable, punctual and truly enjoys what she does. Your pets deserve to be cared for by the best and Tina is definitely the best”

Scott M.

“Jennifer is AMAZING. Outside of being consistent and reliable, my dog loves her. She sends the most entertaining write-ups of their adventures. Highly recommend!”

Lauren M.

“Marissa was fantastic with my two huskies. She was on time, listened to our needs and was great with the dogs on their walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs and love to be around them. I am comfortable walking, boarding or pet sitting for large dogs, untrained dogs and reactive dogs. I am working just part time so am available sat-mon all day and just Tues-Friday I am available after 3:00. My husband starts work at noon so it is only 3 hours without someone home. (He is also a huge dog lover and is happy to meet anyone if that is uncomfortable to you). We love to board dogs because they get to come on adventures with us, we have met Santa, hiked waterfalls and so many other fun activities for pups. Please consider me for your dog care. 🦮 I am currently working part time and am available to board all days of the week and walks anytime expect for 7-3 on Tues-Friday. :) I am able to give any care that is regular at your home, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate. If you prefer your dog gets snuggles and love I’m happy to have them sleep in bed with me. Or anything else your pup or cat may need or want. Just communicate your routine and we can do the same.

About: I've owned and worked with animals my entire life! Anything from Mice and bugs to horses and dogs. I've worked at barns and as a dog trainer, even as far as being a grooming assistant at dog shows. I have experience caring for sick, chronically ill and senior animals as well, and am used to routine ear cleanings and pill-givings. I'm currently in school full-time and my classes vary Monday through Thursday. But don't fret! I still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies before and after classes. While I do not currently offer in-home boarding, I am fully capable of providing fun and consistent care for your furry friend in your humble abode. I've done many house visits over the years, ranging from hamsters to ponies!
