I can't recommend these folks enough. They took excellent care of our 4 cats during an 11-day vacation. They are detail oriented and send thorough messages following every visit (with lots of photos!).

My cats enjoyed their time with PS PDX and even built a habit of bringing their toys to us after they got fed! The playful pictures of my cats put my mind at ease while i was away from them. Joe even answered the phone late when I had missed the alert that someone had visited. Definitely felt like my cats were in good hands while I was away.

Provided top-tier care for our cat while we were away for a week. They visited daily to feed her, clean out her food and water bowls, and make sure she got plenty of dedicated playtime. Beyond taking fantastic care of our cat, they went the extra mile by watering our houseplants and taking out the garbage bins.…

I used PetSitter Portland for the two years I lived in the city and they were amazing! Timely, good communication, always sent pics, and just overall nice people and very thorough. Prices were also very fair compared to other local groups and they even got my very shy cat to come out every once in a while to play with them. Cannot recommend them enough!

Nothing but great things to say about Joe and team. Love the detailed updates, and photos/videos bring such peace of mind. They even kept by hydrangeas alive in the heat. My cats are RELAXED when we get home. Customer service is incredible, from the free meet in great, to resolving a trash can mix up in real time.

Pet Sitter Portland was amazing for our last trip. It was a week long one and one of our dogs had never been left with anyone else. Every day we got positive updates with photos and specifics about how our 2 dogs and 1 cat were doing. The older dog required medication daily which was no problem. I highly recommend…
