Cat Sitters in North Portland, OR

Jamey

Jamey was wonderful! She took great care of Fritz and the house. I think Fritz really enjoyed his time with her, and I would absolutely have her hang out with Fritz again!

Mytrae

Mytrae was a fantastic guest! She was very responsive and proactive in communicating prior to the house/pet sit. She was an excellent guest and friend to our two dogs and two cats - They were very sad to say good-bye. Thank you Mytrae we hope to see you again in the future!

Heather

Heather was amazing! Such great communication before during and after her stay. She was wonderful with our animals. We felt totally confident in her care of our home and our fur babies.

Adam

Adam was great with our cat whom we've named the Monster Cat because she often misbehaves. He got along with her well, and learned her signals of when she was upset/tense/etc. This was the second time Adam sat for us, and I would definitely use him again.

Valerie

I am always so very grateful when Valerie and Taylor are available for our stays. They are by far Dougie’s second family and the most thoughtful and caring people. They love him as if he were their own pup and take the absolute best care of him. Second only to the extraordinary care they take of Doug, they also do so for our home. It is always in pristine condition upon our return which is something I appreciate wholly, especially after long travel days. I am deeply grateful for their attentive, loving, and meticulous care every single time and trust them implicitly. Truly, if they are available for your sit, you have won. 🙌☺️

Allie

Allie is the best! So sweet and trustworthy, and very sweet with my fur babies. She gave me frequent updates with photos, and not only did she leave my apartment super clean and tidy when she left, but she also left me flowers and cookies 🥹

Cailee & Emily

Cailee and Emily were super- I knew just by all the questions they asked when they arrived how conscientious and caring they would be. On my return I could see how content my cats and dogs had been. The house was tidy and my extensive garden that required extra watering in great shape. The true test was the scary incident that befell my golden on his morning walk. A pit bull ran out a front door when his owner opened it and attacked Lennie. Luckily the owner was able to pull his dog off after 15-20 seconds. Lennie lost a lot of hair and was sore and a bit freaked out after. Emily was very steady and calm when she called me directly after. I freaked out too. They took him to the vet who said Lennie was saved by having such a long, dense coat. The pit bull wasn’t able to penetrate his flesh, except for one superficial mark. I was so sorry this happened to them and to Lennie. So they really passed the “test”!

Zo

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Zo! I felt totally confident that my pets and home were in very good hands. Friendly, responsible, clear communication, and just overall a nice, person.

Rebecca

Was Increadbly helpful and comunicative during the whole process. Did an amazing job taking care of our pets and the house.

LoriLee

Came home to happy pets! Lori Lee is a good communicator and was great at sending us daily updates & pictures which helped us relax on our vacation. She was such a good fit for us and our pets. We’ll definitely reach out to her again.

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend

Joseph was fantastic! He took great care of my cat Frankie, Kept me updated with photos and left my place as tidy as it was when I left. I would absolutely recommend.

Juli

Viv was very good with our 2 dogs. She seemed to have a good way with them and could handle our nervous rescue pup well.

Unfortunately, Paul said he was OK with the dogs but seemed to struggle with our nervous girl; which was a shame.

Viv initially chose to sleep in her van and Paul was left alone in the house with the dogs; something we were surprised about but in fairness did not raise at the time.

During the stay, they took the dogs on some great trips and shared some lovely photos.

Rachel

Kerry was a sweetie and gave Stella some much needed attention and affection whilst I was away. I returned to a super tidy flat and a happy living cat. She sent me sweet updates on their adventures and was very easy to communicate with. Thank you!
