“I know Laura as Rene and they did an amazing job watching our husky Luna while we were on a cruise! We expected to have cell and Wi-Fi reception for the duration of our trip but as it turns out we did not. That didn’t phase Rene as they still sent us photos and updates throughout and was able to keep Luna calm during 4th of July fireworks. Rene is a super sitter and we will definitely be using them again. Luna can’t wait for more either”

“Madison is fantastic! She took such good care of my pack! She made sure everyone ate, even though my Andy is scared to eat around people he isn’t very familiar with!! I will have Madison watch my boys every time we need a sitter!! Plus she left the house in immaculate shape - I couldn’t tell she was here!!”

“Adrianna was great! She provided helpful updates and photos throughout her stay and left our home in great shape. Our cat was happy and well cared for. We plan to book with Adrianna again.”

“Skyler is top notch. Right from the start, communication was great. Unfortunately my dog decided to be a big jack@$$. He acted up right as I was packing to leave but petting on my bed. He ended up nipping Skylar and being a grumpface, making her job more difficult. She handled it like a pro and even given the option to finish the stay, with minor adjustments she gladly continued. I very much appreciated her commitment. 5 stars from me!”


“Taylor is a very communicative, enthusiastic, and attentive cat and house sitter. She provided lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, and we came back to a tidy home and happy cat. We will be booking with Taylor again if we can!”

“Recently went on vacation and had the privilege of having Paulina available and booked for housesitting. She is wonderful with our pup and kitties. Paulina is also dependable and great at communicating updates and photos daily, which eased my mind. She showed our pets lots of love in our absence. I truly believe that our fur babies were in the best hands.”

“Katarina was communicative and helpful, I felt that my dogs were safe when I was out of town and service! She was so helpful at the last minute, and we will definitely book with her again!”


“Maddie is amazing! Super thoughtful and communicative. She took awesome care of my dog and my home, and she sent plenty of updates and photos.”

“Summari was great! Super communication and preparation: she took the time to come a day early to meet Missi and learn her routine, sent pictures along the way and loved on my pup well. Thanks a million!”

“Absolutely incredible experience with Taylor 🌺🐾 From the moment we left, we knew our fur babies were in loving, caring hands. The constant updates, attention to detail, and genuine aloha spirit gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy, relaxed, and clearly spoiled pups. Mahalo nui loa for treating our pups like part of your own ʻohana! We would trust you again in a heartbeat and highly recommend you to anyone looking for world-class care for their furry family members. 🌴☀️🐶”
“Charlie was a great dog sitter to our pup who gets very nervous around new people. We received daily photos of the long walks and runs that the two of them took together and our place was left in perfect condition. I highly recommend Charlie!”

About: Ready to adventure with your pets! 🌲 *For more videos & pictures check out my IG: petcarepdx ABOUT ME Being raised with 3 Pugs, a mini Aussie, and 2 chihuahuas, my transition to professional pet care was very smooth! I started at a dog walking company in Portland in July 2021 and recieved a promotion within 3 months. And by Winter 2022 I transitioned to full-time employment as an independent pet care provider. I am very familiar with high energy large strong pups that like to pull sneaky tricks and play 🐕🦺 Alongside dog walking, I cat sit frequently! 🐈 I have also cared for specialty pets such as rats, bearded dragons, bunnies and guinea pigs! 🐁 I've taken care of many special needs & rescued pets, and spent a year fostering a sweet kitty! I’m open to every pet! I moved to the bay in August, but prior to my relocation I had established many trusting relationships with clients and provided reoccurring care for their sweet pups & kitties for over a year. It was definitely tough to say goodbye. However, I’m very excited to be creating more wonderful relationships with clients and pets here in Oakland! I am open and looking to take house sitting gigs in Portland and traveling up to visit! I always approach with a gentle and calm demeanor, so animals aren’t overwhelmed. Safety and ensuring their needs are met is #1! I am always willing to follow training practices owners have in place. Please note combo walks are not a requirement and will be up to the individual dogs' needs and client requests. I lean towards R+ walking and prefer to walk pups with harnesses and no prong or choke collars. I love to take pictures and give detailed updates as I find communication to be very essential to pets’ care! Please say hello, I’d love to chat about how I can help take care of your sweet pals! EXPERIENCE -Completed over 1,000+ walks, checks, and pet sitting jobs -Cared for over 200+ pets -Shy and/or rescue animals -Puppies & other high energy pups -Care for over 50+ cats, including elderly & disabled cats -Experience with elderly & disabled pets -Group walking SKILLS -Patience -Effective communication -High-energy animal management -Safety awareness SERVICES CAN INCLUDE -Walks or hikes -Monitored playtime -Feeding -Distribution of meds -Pets & attention -Multiple animal care -Overnight sitting *Please disclose any special needs or anxieties of your pet before booking, thank you :) LOCATION I am looking for a house sitting gig for August or September in Portland, Oregon! I currently live in Oakland, California but previously lived in Portland for two years! SCHEDULE -I accept reoccurring walks M-Thr 10 AM - 5 PM -I accept one-time walks outside of those days & times Please include an acceptable time window of arrival in your request. OVERNIGHTS I can provide walks, enrichment time, and attention for pups! I unfortunately cannot watch pups that are unable to be alone as I would like to spend some time outside of the home. Depending on the pups and their needs I’d love to take them on adventures! If adventures aren’t in the cards for them I am still able to provide care in the form of walks, quality time, and enrichment.
“AJ watched our 3 cats and 4 chickens again this time for 12 nights. It was clear that everyone was so well looked after and cared for. We came back to a ridiculously clean home and are just so grateful for all of AJ's hard work.”

About: I have grown up in a house full of cats and dogs, so I am no stranger to the late night zoomies or hairball. I have dog and cat sit my whole life and still love it! I am currently unemployed and doing side hustles, I have the time to dog walk, cat sit and stay the night if needed! I would love to take care of your pets! I live in a spacious apartment but prefer to pet sit at the clients place. I have one cat at home and have raised her since she kitten.
About: Hi, I’m Trinity! 🐾 I’m a 20-year-old animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior sweethearts. I also have hands-on experience caring for cats and rabbits, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households and different care needs. My family has fostered dogs for 5 years so I have experience with shy or high-energy pets. I’m reliable, kind, and truly enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the chance to care for yours! 🐶🐱🐰 I work part time once a week and have lots of time outside of class! I have a roommate at home as well who loves pups and has one of her own (a chihuahua) and is there usually when I am not, and is more than willing to help out :) Very walkable neighborhood and dog toys in the apartment! Grassy area outside for quick access to the bathroom and the apartment is kept clean and dogs are allowed on furniture and allowed to free roam the apartment.
About: I have provided care for dogs and cats for over 20+ years. I was the first to volunteer in my youth to "stay home" with the animals. I am thoughtful and reliable and understand the importance of a maintained routine. I approach all visits with patience, care, and professionalism. I communicate clearly with pet parents and adjust my care to match each fur baby's personality. Trust and confidentiality are my priorities. Flexible schedule! I am currently between employment commitments while I assist family members with life changes. I am organized and reliable and can accommodate regular visits as well as short-notice needs. I prioritize maintaining your pet's normal routine to reduce any stress and ensure comfort and safety. I follow care instructions closely and monitor behavior and overall well being. I communicate regularly and provide all requested updates. I treat the client's home with care, professionalism and discretion at all times. I am an active person and enjoy walks/runs.
“Julianna fit really well with what we thought our dog, Vixie, needed. Vixie has separation anxiety and Julianna was willing to go the extra mile to keep Vixie happy. Walks, treats, cuddles all worked. I would ask Julianna to sit again if the need arose. Thanks, Julianna.”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I can remember. My family has had three dogs, four chickens, and a cat in my life with different needs and routines. I love animals and am able to adapt my pet sitting style based on their needs. My pet sitting experience ranges from a miniature schnauzer puppy to an old farm dog retriever. I will be shadowing at a Physical Therapy clinic, as well as peer mentoring for summer courses, so I will most likely be gone during the day. I am a morning person, so I don’t mind having to wake up early to make sure the pets need to go to the bathroom or get fed. I can adapt my schedule to fit the needs of your pet pretty easily, I am able to juggle many commitments at once. I am very detail-oriented, so I can follow any routine or set of care instructions precisely. Pets can be like an extra family member, and I understand how it is important to find someone you can trust to take care of them like so. I approach every new pet I meet with love and care, and will make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If there are any special needs or time where a pet needs, I make sure to set alarms and reminders so I don’t forget. When I interact with a pet, I make sure to read their body language so I don’t overstep any boundaries they may have.
“Alex was great with nico and was very flexible. Alex sent pictures of nico throughout the day and really helped out when I realized I didn't set my cats feeder. Would definitely book with them again.”

Karsyn is attentive, communicative and her work schedule allows her to be present with our pets, only leaving them for a max of 5.5 hours. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a hamster and she followed our feeding and schedule instructions to a tee. Sent us pet photos and asked questions if she was unsure about something. She has a love for animals and you can tell! Working at a doggie daycare also makes her especially skilled with pups along with her ongoing Animal Sciences degree. I highly recommend Karsyn for your pet sitting needs!
Kaiya did a fabulous job caring for our home and fur babies! We absolutely loved the photos, communication, and the genuine love and attention she gave them while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. Highly recommend Kaiya to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet and house sitter! 🐾❤️

Autumn did a great job housesitting for our 2 cats and dog! We returned and our home was cleaned up and looked like we left it, but cleaner! She took our dog to the dog park regularly and got our shy cats to get all snuggly with her. She provided great feedback the whole time and lots of pictures which we really appreciated! I will be using Autumn in the future when able and would highly recommend!
I could not ask for a better pet-sitter for my cat and my first time away from my dog. Leah came and met us beforehand, went for a walk, and got oriented to our little systems. Leah communicated all my pets needs while I was away and I came home to a couple of happy animals. I will definitely be reaching out to Leah with my future pet-sitting needs.

Oh my gosh, Verena was a lifesaver! She jumped in at the last minute and saved the day. She took amazing care of Polly and was very communicative when she had a health issue arise. My home was spotless and dog is happy, could ask for more. I will definitely have Verena come again!

Natalie is a wonderful dog/house sitter. She is very mature and responsible and can be relied on to do what she says she will. She is a great communicator who responds to texts/call promptly. Her love for animals is obvious, and my Boston loves her, especially posing for all the photos Natalie takes and sends while I'm away. She left my home in great shape. You won't find better!

Clover loved my pets like her own. She stayed for three night with three animals and I came back to well regulated pets and a house that looked like no guests had been there. Thank you clover for treating my home and animals with such kindness. I will be booking with you again!

Emilia was an incredible sitter for our two high energy dogs. She took care of our big malinois and our crazy puppy, taking them on multiple long walks and to the park, as well as giving them lots of love. She accommodated our very last minute request, working around her schedule for us. She followed our instructions and was super communicative, sending frequent pictures and updates on our pups. Your pets will be in very good hands with Emilia!

Madison was great! She took our three girls to the dog park, let them play how they all enjoy (either by running around, playing fetch, or just chewing on the ball), and sent pictures and videos. She even wore out our Belgian Malinois puppy, which is so hard to do. She’s amazing!!
