Loving families available for dog sitting
Willie
Portland, ORBreed: Cairn Terrier
Weight: 15 lbs
Age: 5 years old
Gender: Male
Willie is a sweet 5 year old mixed terrier. He gets along with all pets and kids. He is easy going and just loves a good cuddle, and a walk outside. He hardly barks, only at the occasional UPS truck or a knock on the door.
Goose
Portland, ORBreed: Border Collie
Weight: 85 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Goose is a border collie/cattle dog/pyrenees mix. He’s either really stoked or really lazy. He gets along well with other dogs, loves to hike, and stare out windows. He used to be more reactive to people in a protective sort of way, but this has gotten better with time and training. Once he knows someone is cool, he’s fine! This usually just takes a few minutes.
Maisy
Portland, ORBreed: Cairn Terrier
Weight: 15 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
My name is Ren and my pup’s name is Maisy. She is very sweet, playful and loves all animals. We love adventuring together, going on hikes and hanging out at the dog parks. We’re in the middle of boot camp separation anxiety training right now because we moved from being with many roommates and animals to just the two of us. She is very smart and getting the hang of it but it’s taking a lot of discipline and even more time and patience to see results. Maisy can’t be alone for more than 30 mins right now or she barks continuously. Someone recommended I look into this app so I can save some money because Rover is costing me too much - I basically have to pay to work. So hopefully I can exchange some dog care favors and build a community through here so we can all save.
Murphy
Portland, ORBreed: Irish Doodle
Weight: 55 lbs
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male
Murphy is a 3 year old Irish Doodle whose favorite pastimes include zoomies in the yard, long walks to the park, and one-sided fetch with stuffies. He prefers dogs 1-on-1 and loves all humans (although takes some time to warm up to men).
Frankie
Portland, ORBreed: Dachshund herding mix
Weight: 25 lbs
Age: Puppy (less than 1 year old)
Gender: Male
Frankie is a dachshund/herding mix with medium levels of energy and socialness looking for buddies to crash with while I’m at work all day and also occasional boarding/homestay. He is 9-years old and we have lived with many other dogs over the years and never had a problem.
Monty
Portland, ORBreed: Bernedoodle
Weight: 70 lbs
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male
My dog Monty loves to play with other dogs. He’s a big guy so he can be a bit overwhelming for some dogs at first but he’s very well socialized and will stop trying to play if told so (by the other dog). I prefer smaller dogs or big dogs only if they’re excellent on leash.
