Going out of town?

Many Portland Pet Sitters offer vacation visits for when you need to leave town. A pet sitter will come to your home and care for your pet while you're away. We will follow your pet care routine as closely as possible, including feeding, watering, exercising and administering any medication your pet might need. We also provide basic home care services while you're gone such as bringing in the newspaper, flyers and mail, watering plants, alternating lights, adjusting blinds and setting out or taking in trash, yard debris, and recycling.

Does your pet need added comfort while you're away?

A few of the Portland Pet sitters offer overnight stays to give your pet all the benefits of vacation visits, with the added companionship and security for your pet throughout the night.
