“Samantha has been great to work with. She is very responsive and reliable. Molly has some specific behavior needs and I felt reassured that she would be in good hands. Thank you!”

About: I have been taking care of a bunch of animals sense I was 8 I would take care of my own as well as take care of my neighbors and family members while they were away. I am also in college to become a veterinary assistant I currently own a Chiweenie, chameleon, and a cat I rescued I take care of them every day and have free time to be able to take care of more animals! I enjoy being able to help animals because they can’t voice when they need help. I like being able to make them happy by taking them on walks with getting a pup cup afterwards and giving them lots of attention and watching for any warning signs of injury or illness
“Taya provided excellent and fabulous care. She was enthusiastic and was a pleasure to work with. Indy was well taken care of and I know he enjoyed his time with her. I highly recommended her!”

“Loved the recording of the peeing and pooping. Thanks much. On time and dogs got their full walks and the walker was very calm when one of our dogs growled getting her harness on.”

“Peggy was wonderful and helped us out on a day we had a jam and needed our pup walked. She was very professional and attentive to our active dog. We will be using her again”

About: My friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs/puppies trusting me with their furry babies. I can handle hyper to mellow dogs, I am very active but also laid back depending on the mood of your furry baby. I have been taking care of my own baby for 5 years adopted at the shelter, and oh boy I have learned so much from him (his name is Jarvis the muscular pitbull). I have a huge passion for dogs/puppies and will treat them like my own! If you have any questions, feel free to chat with me :) I am a graduate student looking for extra income until maternity leave. I do have a part-time job but I will always find a way to hangout with your furry friend knowing the rewarding feeling when being around them. I have thought to be respectful as well as respectable to their things. I am very honest and responsible with everything I do. Since I still live with my parents, I am open to service your furry baby at your home giving them comfort and care.
About: Ive been a dog lover as long as I can remember, and as soon as I turned 18 I started working at a dog daycare/boarding facility. It was a blast! I loved getting to know every dog individually and watch them grow. After a few years I was ready to find more of a career with dogs so I switched over to dog grooming. I’ve been grooming professionally for the last 3 years and love showing dogs that grooming doesn’t have to be a scary thing. Keeping the pets safe and happy is always my top priority when working with them in any situation. I treat every pet like they are my own! Recently became a stay at home mom so my days are very open. I still do some grooming at peoples homes but it isn’t anything consistent so I am very flexible. I have experience using all different types of collars and leashes depending on each dogs needs. Safety will always be a top priority when taking dogs off of your property for walks and if their collars/harnesses are not secure I will have a slip lead on hand that can be used as a backup in case they slip their leads. I will also continue any training you are doing with your dog for loose leash walking/reactivity to make sure there is no going backwards! I also am very experienced going through doors/gates while dogs try to get through so no escapes on my watch!
About: Pet Experience Summary With over 10 years of experience working with dogs from various backgrounds, I bring extensive knowledge and genuine passion to pet care.

When you trust me with your beloved pet, you can be confident they'll receive safe, attentive care and be treated with the same love I'd give my own animals. Im currently working a very flexible job that lets me choose my schedule. I work remotely and I have home cameras to watch if Im gone. I also have a roommate who helps me with animal care of needed if I was away. Animals are never left alone and will always have a human around to ensure proper care and your pet is well taken cared for. I have a 6ft fenced yard. Main fences have extra anti escape proof fencing that wont allow a dog to jump over fence. Cameras around the home up front, side and back yard that are recoding 24/7. Trusting neighbors that watch over the neighborhood. Cameras inside and outside of home.

“Brittani is incredible! From the very first day, it was clear how genuinely caring, reliable, and professional she is. Our dog Sophie absolutely adores her walks and comes home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for every single time. The level of attention and kindness shown is truly exceptional. It’s such a relief knowing Soph is in safe, loving hands with someone who treats her like their own. We are beyond grateful and recommend Brittani without hesitation to anyone who wants the very best for their pet! 🐾💛”

About: I grew up in what is basically a small zoo. Growing up, my chore list included animal care. We had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, sugar gliders, and I had a hedgehog for 4 years. I just graduated college, and I am looking for developing a work schedule that involves a lot of small jobs. I have been doing seasonal work, and I am set up to substitute at some school districts. I am excited to be able to do pet care alongside these other things. I will be able to feed and take care of basic stuff such as potty time. In terms of potentially interacting with animals, it will be up to the animal. If there is going to be a pet that is shy or untrusting of me, I will give them the space they need to feel comfortable. If your pet is only wanting play time, I can give them play time or walks or whatever they are wanting.
About: From a young age I’ve been surrounded by animals to horses to cats. When I was a teenager I started babysitting, housesitting and pet sitting. I grew up with parents that taught me to leave the house in watching as if I was never there if not better. I’m currently working part time and going to school for massage part time. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I go to school from 9-1pm and thursday and every other Saturday I go from 9-3:30 Before meeting the animal I will require a meeting. Whether it’s over the phone or in person about your expectations about what you want me to do. As well as how your animals acts with strangers, any health concerns. Just the basics. I will never go snooping in your home. I am very professional and keep my word.
About: My name is Charizma Williams. I’ve pet-sitted for my sister’s friend and with my best friend on and off for 3 years. I grew up helping take care of farm animals, cats, and dogs. I love taking care of animals. I’ll treat them like my very own. Your fur babies will be in good hands. I’ll make sure to send you lots of updates on how they’re doing!! I’m unemployed looking for my first job, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies, play with them and meet all of their needs. I make sure to take care of them with lots of love, gentleness, and kindness. If needed, I can crate them, and if they have any specific requirements, I’ll make sure those are met.
About: I grew up around dogs my whole life. I have experienced with elderly dogs, pups, cats, and some reptiles. I have done pet sitting around the Portland area. They have relied on me to walk, feed, administer oral medication for their pet(s). I am a student, going for my Bachelor‘s of Nutrition. My schedule look’s different each quarter but will be gone for an estimate of 2-3 hours a day for school. I make sure they are comfortable and safe. I always check the fence gates before letting your pet outside. I don’t have them unsupervised when they are outside. Finally, I double check I lock the doors when leaving.
About: Hi there! My name is Elliott, I have several years of experience with animals, including cats, dogs, farm animals and (some) exotic pets. Hope to hear from you!

About: I have had pets my whole life. From Rottweilers to Shephards, Pitbulls and Boxers, Maltese to Chihuahua. Any puppy any size I love!!! Let me be the one who loves them, like you, for you, while you can't. From bathes & breakfast to walks & playtime, anything that needs done, I can do it. As I am currently an Instacart shopper so I work on my own schedule whenever convenient. So being readily available will be easy for me and convenient for you. I wake up every morning and let them out into a fenced yard to go to the bathroom. If a fenced yard isnt available i take them out and stay with them while they go to the bathroom. I will clean up after the pet not to leave it in the yard. After that coming back in and feed and water the dogs. Then a brush if needed, as well as some playtime with toys. Treats given to the owners specifications. Diet maintenance if needed as well. I will clean up after myself and the animals, so you will never come home to a messy house.

William and Jessica work as a team for the price of one. They are young and love animals. My dogs gravitated to them immediately! They are very conscientious of my dogs and take very good care of them. I will definitely use them again and reccommend them to anyone who love their pets! Give them a try. You won't be sorry!!

It was apparent from Lynnea’s first interaction with Ursa that she is knowledgeable and comfortable meeting new dogs. Ursa was immediately at ease and after getting to know each other for a few minutes, she happily went off to take a long stroll with Lynnea. Ursa came back happy and tired. Exactly what we all needed!
