Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .

Carol is so amazing with my animals and our home. My dogs and cat love her! I can enjoy my vacation when Carol is taking care of them.
We feel so lucky to have found Carol! She took such great care of our pup while we were out of town. He was happy and relaxed when we got home. The photo and video updates were much appreciated. We can’t recommend Carol enough!
Carol has given loving, thoughtful and reliable care to our dog and two cats and we are so grateful. She is very caring and attuned to animals and their needs. She is an excellent and thorough communicator. She learns about each pet and goes the extra mile to meet their needs. We trust her implicitly and are so grateful to be able to travel without worry. Thank you Carol!
We had the best experience with Carol! She was communicative and very loving towards our slightly anxious dog. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would definitely use her services again!!
Carol is absolutely amazing! Carol watched our cat Pazuzu for two days and she gave us so many pictures, videos, and a summary of how the day went with our baby cat. I felt so reassured and happy having Carol watch our kitty. I feel happy I could go on trips and not have to worry about my baby cat anymore. Carol goes above and beyond and I am so grateful for her! Love, Stef
Carol is wonderful! My dogs were happy and my house was clean when I returned home! She is kind and loving, cares for my pups just as I do! So happy to have found her!
Caroline has been amazing with our dog, Elliott! she always on time and takes great care of him, treating him as if he were their own. Very responsible and responsive to any requests, she truly go above and beyond-including after the dog walk making sure Elliott got extra cuddles and fresh water. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker!
Carol is wonderful with our dog Millie. She always takes her on great walks and sends us lots of pictures and an update which we really love. She’s helped us last minute several times. Highly recommend!
As a travel nurse I have worked with a variety of dog walkers over the past several years and Carolina is by far one of the most compassionate and attentive. She treats my baby Seamus like he is her own, and it is clear from the pictures she sends (and the interactions I have seen firsthand) that he enjoys her as well. She is reliable and great at communicating, has always worked with me around my schedule, and handled any challenges with ease when they have popped up. She is an absolute gem and has been invaluable to both myself and my pup. I 100% recommend!
We feel so lucky to have found Carol! We received lots of photos and videos of our three pups throughout our trip. We have one dog which hates to see us go and usually is frantic when we return. On our arrival all three dogs were happy to see us, but they had obviously had lots of attention and were not overly excited- a good sign to us! Highly recommend!
Best pet sitter in the Portland metro area bar none. Diane has a passion for pets, and unlike some pet sitters she cares for special needs pets as well. My kitty is insulin dependent, and anytime we are leaving town we can trust to Diane to take care of him and make sure he gets all his medicine and insulin. I don't trust many people with my pets, but I trust Diane with mine. She has a passion for pets, and her kennel free boarding for dogs is top-notch. Any time I have to leave town, I can rest easy knowing our pets are well cared for.
Diane's passion for pets is awesome. For the past couple of years she has shared plenty of pet care tips to the Tigard community. Loving, caring and professional. Highly recommend
Totally trust Diane with our fur-baby, he has stayed with her numerous times! She provides a home environment and honest care.
Fantastic care for my fur babies. I wouldn't even consider using anyone else. Diane is wonderful and I know my babies are in caring and capable hands!
The best pet service in the Lake Oswego/West Linn area, hands down. Laura is a true professional who genuinely loves the pets she cares for. If you want the best for your pets at a more than fair price, Laura is the person to call.
Excellent care for your pets! I have had Affordable & Reliable Pet care walk my dogs and also house / pet sit for me when I went on vacation. They provide compassionate and reliable service, and they actually love animals and caring for them! I highly recommend Affordable & Reliable Pet Care for all your pet care needs.
Wonderful service! I've relied on this company for years whenever I go out of town. Laura's care is unparalleled. I wouldn't trust my pets with anybody else!
Laura is truly the dog whisperer of pet sitters. She has such a way with animals! I highly recommend her ;)
She took great care of my dog and cats, followed all of my directions, and the house was just as I left it! She was also very nice.
Betsy and Amelia with Bowser’s Best Buddy are a cut above the rest. I see how much genuine love and care they show my pup, while offering positive and consistent training. My dog Otis attends their day program and has truly blossomed, from an excitable 1 year old adolescent to a well rounded, friendly, obedient member of their pack. Betsy has offered such valuable recommendations on how I could continue the training approach at home to keep advancing his knowledge. I found Betsy as I looked for a day program that wasn’t a larger scale “daycare” space. Betsy did a careful screening to make sure Otis would fit well with the other dogs and slowly folded Otis into the mix. Now that Otis is a “regular,” it gives me peace of mind that any newcomers to the program will be similarly vetted and introduced. A year into attending the day program, Otis is thriving and I am so grateful for the Bowser’s team (Finn, the elder pup, included!)
My two pups absolutely adore Betsy!!!! She takes them for walks, comes by and feeds them when I’m delayed, and have stayed with her and loved their time there. She is always there to help her clients in a pinch. Such a caring woman💕 We are very happy to have “found” such special care. …
Betsy is reliable, communicative, and knowledgeable. From photo and video updates, to leash and manners training, and extra cuddle time, she is more than just a dog walker. I’m so grateful for Betsy and all of her work with Phoebe!
We have been taking our girl to Bowser’s since she was a puppy. Tuesday’s are her favorite day of the week. Betsy treats Pimm like her own and it’s such a relief to not have to worry about her while I’m working. I get pic and video updates during the day, like this gem. We love working with Betsy. She’s professional, a great communicator, and so welcoming to Pimm. If your pup can get a spot, their lucky!
Betsy is a gem! We have two cats, and when we leave to go out of town, we go in peace, because we know they are always so well cared for and loved by Betsy. We feel so fortunate to have found her. Her daily updates, photos, and videos are wonderful to receive and make us feel so close to our kitties, even when we are far away. I can’t imagine finding a more professional, thoughtful, and thorough pet caregiver. 5 stars all around!
Upon arriving back in Portland, I needed a dog walker as my remote job gave way to an on-site job. After being ignored by a couple of different providers, Betsy responded promptly, set up a meeting and now my guy, Gary, is the happiest pup on the block. She's priced fairly, provides excellent service (pictures of every walk and attention to Gary's well being), is an A+ communicator and just a generally great care-taker. I couldn't be any happier with Bowser's and Betsy and, as a fanatical fan of my dog, recommend her without hesitation.
An incredible place for my goldendoodle! She has an amazing time with the other dogs, is incredibly well looked after. I would trust Bowser’s Best Buddies with one of the most important things in my life any day!
You will never find anyone better. The improvement into dogs’ lives when Betsy started walking them was immeasurable. I think they love her more than they love me. Maybe I love her more than I love me! If you call anyone else you’re just making a mistake.
We have been using Bowser’s Best Buddy for our catsitting needs over the last two years. We are so grateful to have found Betsy! She always takes great care of our two cats. We look forward to receiving the pictures/videos she sends after each visit. It gives us peace of mind each time we travel knowing that Betsy is checking in on them. We can’t recommend her enough!!
Whenever I’m leaving town, I rely on Betsy to take great care of my furbaby. I feel like she treats my dog as her own and that gives me piece of mind. My dog is well taken care of and spoiled, even sleeping in Betsy’s bed. Betsy is super reliable and communicative. She sends me regular updates and pictures while my dog is in her care. I highly recommend Betsy to take care of your pet(s)!
Our dogs LOVE Brandy! We’ve been using Brandy from Doggie Deeds for almost 2 years now and we have no plans of stopping. She is very reliable and trustworthy and willing to put up with our anxious doggo who has a hard time with strangers. She’s super flexible and accommodating with last minute schedule changes too, which has made our life a lot easier! Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker/sitter!
Doggie deeds is amazing. We have a traumatized rescue dog that just loves Brandy and her team. They were so patient with getting to know her and gaining her trust. When doing overnights, I completely trust them in our house. They have always gone above and beyond to have things clean and tidy and take amazing care of our dog.
Brandy has been amazing with our German Shepherd, he is so happy in all the update pictures and always well fed and taken care of when we return home. Very professional, punctual, great connection with our dog, lots of updates. Brandy goes an extra mile to make sure he is well taken care of. So glad to find Doggie Deeds. Highly recommend!
Brandy is absolutely the BEST!!! My pup LOVES walks with her and she has always been so reliable and communicative. There have been multiple times that she has been available to walk my pup on last minute notice, and she always sends photo updates during and after the walk! Highly recommended for any dog walking in the PDX area!!!
I have been using Doggie Deeds for about 2 years now. I first met Brandy through Play and Chase dog care. Both my dogs love her and couldn’t ask for a better dog walker! I have had her and Bekka do overnight sittings and it makes me feel so much better knowing my dogs and cats will be well taken care of as well as my house. The house is always clean and tidy when I get home from a trip.
We have been using Doggie Deeds for years. Brandy and her team have been life savers for walking/hiking/caring for our old dog and new rescue, housesitting, and just once in awhile being there to help during a dog emergency! They get to know the our dog's personality and needs and are a delight to work with!
We love Doggie Deeds. Brandy has been with our Arlo since he was just 8 weeks old. She is like a second mother to him. We have been using Doggie Deeds at least 2 days a week, with Bekka and Brandy. It's like Arlo has girlfriends and just looks forward to playing and walking with both of them. Its really nice because we can still keep all of our training gear and it transfers over to both Brandy and Bekka. We don't have to worry about untraining him after their walks. I am not sure what I would do without Doggie Deeds.
Brandy and her team are incredible! We have been using Doogie Deeds for several years. They are responsive and reliable and in constant contact while we are away with pictures and texts. We always know our pets are well loved and in good hands.
Brandy and team are the absolute best! Brandy is reliable, friendly and my dogs love her. I highly recommend her for dog walking or house/pet sitting. A big thank you to Brandy for taking care of my dogs with so much care!
I called very last minute in a bind and Brandy definitely went way above and beyond to help and get us on the way. I loved that she was way more concerned for my pup than for idle chit chat, she was very friendly and personable once my dog was taken care of and she had a minute to spare for mere humans. Delightful caring nature.
My dog has been visiting Maggie on and off for many years. Maggie is always quick to respond when I check her availability and provides wonderful care for my dog. The environment is like home, there are cozy places for the dogs to be inside, a safe backyard with shade and sun for play, and lots of attention. It's a home away from home for my dog when I travel.
Best in home environment to take your dog for a home away from home experience. Our dogs love Unleashed and I would never take them anywhere else. I highly recommend Unleashed!
I’ve boarded my pup (Clementine) with Maggie several times now, always for fairly long stretches. I used to be so nervous about leaving her for longer than a few days, but I have absolutely no anxiety about her while she’s in Maggie’s care. When I had a family emergency arise requiring an extension of Clem’s boarding dates, Maggie’s incredible understanding and flexibility alleviated so much stress for me and my family. And even when there hasn’t been an emergency, it’s so nice to be able to leave for vacation and only have to think about your dog when you miss her rather than worrying constantly. Maggie’s home is SO beautiful, as well as very clean and inviting to pets. I would actually kill for her backyard, which has so much space for dogs to run and play. Clem always has the time of her life and I feel good knowing the attention of the person watching her isn’t diverted by a million other dogs; the few she takes on at a time are enough for stimulation without being overwhelming. The near daily photo/video updates are so nice and my family always gets a laugh out of them, too. I love and trust this place so much that I’ve now recommended Maggie/Unleashed to every Portland area dog owner I know. Absolutely worth every penny every single time, I hope I never have to take my dog anywhere else. I honestly cannot day enough good things.
We boarded our dog for 9 days and were very happy with the TLC she got here. Photos and video was posted daily on Facebook so we could see how she was doing. The owner's home is dog-friendly but also immaculately clean. There's a huge fenced backyard for frolicking as well as an indoor play area for rainy days. We wouldn't hesitate to leave our big girl here again.
This is such a lovely idea, hosting a few dogs in your home. Our experience with this business was less than ideal, though. The owner asked us to bring our dog (a 12 year old male miniature schnauzer) over to meet her dogs, because she needs to know our dog will get along with her dogs. So far, so good. Our dog, while far from perfect, loves other dogs. He loves other dogs so much that at TWO of his past doggie daycares, they used him as the test dog to see if other dogs would fit in. He has gone all the way up through advanced obedience classes, has learned circus tricks, and has competed in agility. He even used to work as a therapy dog, visiting long term care homes. He has never been aggressive towards anyone, much less another dog. He is more likely to play himself to death with them. After he met the owner’s dogs (which my husband thought had gone just fine), she let me know she was uncertain if he and her older male lab got along. She wanted our dog to stay for a night at her house while we were still in town to find out if they were compatible. This seemed like a lot of effort, but, okay, I can understand being cautious. We took him to her place (at the cost of $50) and left him there for a night. The next day, my husband picked him up and she did not say a word to him about what had gone on. We assumed that meant we were good to go. We had already made reservations with her for our upcoming vacation, WELL in advance of the time we would be out of town. With less than a week before we were due to leave town, the owner contacted me to let me know that she had another male dog staying with her and she would need us to bring our dog back to her house again to see if our dog got along with this other dog. Seriously? What was she going to do if they did not get along? It seemed glaringly unprofessional to tell someone with less than a week notice that you are not sure if our dog (a much beloved family member) would be acceptable to stay with her when the rest of the family is about to leave on vacation. Talk about stress inducing. The owner’s continued suspicion that our dog will be aggressive towards other dogs was unfounded and, frankly, offensive. We have found other, better options for boarding our little guy. I guess if you have a female dog or a young pup, this might be a good choice for you. The yard she has for dogs to run in is wonderful, and they have lovely little beds to sleep in all around the house. If you have a male dog, especially an older male dog, be forewarned you might want to look elsewhere.
Maggie loves dogs more than anyone I know. She will always take wonderful care of yours.
Remember to keep shots updated, very patient workers, they seem to enjoy their jobs
My fur child is so incredibly happy the second we pull into the parking lot!!! The staff are welcoming, warm and engaging. I was just using this service as a fill in activity for travel but my little buddy can not live without the Scooby crew on a regular schedule. Can not say enough about how fabulous this has been! Great pricing and the A’ la cart services are awsome too!
Scooby shack continues to amaze me with their customer service, compassion, and hard work ethic! I always know that my sweet doggy is in the best hands when I drop her off there and better yet she always looks like she is having a blast! Thank you Scooby team for making sure my Thelma girl is always comfortable and having fun🩷 …
Nyxie loves her plays and stays at Scooby Shack. She's made some good buddies (dogs and humans!), and she "sings" all the way to the Scooby Shack once she knows we're headed that way. The staff takes such good care of our girl. When she stays there, the staff is happy to give updates and pictures. (We know Nyxie is having a ball so this is really to make her parents feel better.) Thank you Scooby Shack for taking such great care of our girl!
Extremely disappointed with this place. We used to bring our dog here exclusively for grooming and daycare but never again. We brought our dog in to get groomed after several years of grooming here and only when I went to pay was I told that the prices increased, over $100 MORE! We'd always brought our dog in the morning to play with the other dogs and then his grooming appointment would be in the afternoon. We've done this for years and not once have they charged us for day care when bringing him in the morning If we also got him groomed. It was only when I came to pick him up that they told me they increased their prices for grooming and charged me for the morning. I understand raising prices as needed but this was a very dishonest way to go about that. They should have let their customers know before they leave their dogs there that they increased their prices by so much instead of waiting until after the service is over. Not to mention the groomer did not even trim some areas we'd requested like around his booty so now I have to do it myself. We will never be coming back and will be telling our friends and family who also go there about this experience.
I'm so excited, Scooby Shack has a new groomer (Hannah), and she is fantastic. I have a Yorkshire Terrier and a Bernese Mountain Dog and I've been through more than my fair share of not so good grooming experiences. Leah really listened to me and did exactly what I asked her to. My dogs look great, and you can tell she really enjoys grooming dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!
I’ve posted before and after pictures of our mini Aussiepoo. As you can see, he had a full head of cute, curly hair that the groomer at Scooby Shack has managed to shave off haphazardly twice. When we picked him up this time, we were in tears; she’d cut his whiskers off, shaved his entire body and only left his ears and tail alone. She said it was because we didn’t brush him enough, but we brushed him every day. I am so disappointed and upset by this groomer. How can you work with animals and do this to them? Do not take your dog to this woman, she clearly doesn’t care about the work she is doing or how her customers feel.
I have taken my dogs to Scooby Shack since 2011. Trulli loves going to Scooby Shack so she can play with her doggie friends and with Todd. I am very happy with the care Trulli receives and have no reservations taking her for daycare and boarding Trulli at Scooby Shack.
Very impressed with this daycare and boarding facility . Very clean and communication is topnotch. They Have staff with the pups at all times -24 hrs. Experienced staff watching and they understand animal behavior. As I’m Watching pups come and go-The pups are so happy waggin their tails , hopping on their feet -such a sight to see. That tells me they had a good time. What great way to socialize a pup in a pack environment. 🤩 They even have a cat condo. Super Clean and have wall climbing area for them. I got to see a cat scratching on a post didn’t even seem scared. Relaxed and strutting his stuff across the room. 🤩
Our dog loves Scooby Shack. He is excited when we take him here, and when he comes home, it is obvious he has played all day long and enjoyed his day. Staff are super friendly and nice.
My dog loves Scooby Shack. His enthusiasm to rush through the doors and get inside is sometimes overwhelming! It's easy to see why. The staff is friendly and reliable. Everyone has a great attitude and welcoming smile. I totally trust them to provide a safe and secure place where my dog can run around with his pals. I never have to worry when he is there. We both love Scooby Shack!!
My lab Millie has been going to Nightshift Petcare since she was 18 weeks old. Joy helped me train Millie and I attribute much of her sweetness to the time she spent learning to socialize with the other dogs at NSPC. Millie attends daycare 2x a week and there is no where else I would leave her for overnight boarding. Joy is the best of the best of the very best!!!
Joy is the best. My pup probably has a better vacation than I do every time I drop them off. Could not recommend higher.
Joy is fantastic! Totally trust her with my pups! Bonus she’s super funny
