The app used by his business for reporting daily updates on the pets is easy to use as well. I 100% recommend him for all pet care needs. P.a. Out of all pet sitters I've had, Joseph posts the most feedback about his visits after each day. Lots of photos and health updates (if eating or using bathroom normally/unusual poops or pees and so on)

We hired Petsitter Portland for an overnight sitter while we were out of town for the weekend. The…read morefirst night, our sitter was a no-show. I only found out the next morning when I reviewed our front door camera footage and realized our dog had been alone since 7pm the night before. I had to leave a note in the app before anyone reached out to us. When the owner finally called to apologize, I asked why we weren't contacted as soon as the issue came up. His response was, "we're not open during those hours." I'm still not sure what that means for a pet care company. If you're taking responsibility for someone's pet overnight, there is no "closed." To his credit, the owner stepped in personally to cover the rest of the wknd, but by that point the damage was done. Our dog had been alone for over 12 hours. I don't even want to think about what would have happened if we didn't have exterior cameras or happen to check them that morning. We got lucky, and we shouldn't have had to be. The whole situation was incredibly stressful and affected our entire trip. The owner comped the one night, but charged full price for the rest of the wknd. Honestly, given everything that happened, I would have expected the whole stay to be taken care of. If you need a sitter you can count on, especially for overnight stays, I'd look elsewhere. Peace of mind is the whole point, and we didn't have it.

This is a long overdue review. Also, I think this is more like a thank-you letter to Jen than a…read morereview. As many others have stated, Jen is amazing. Our dog, Shaka, just loved spending time with her and the other pups she cared for. We were a little worried at first about his temperament being around others (humans and other animals) since he gets a little skittish, but he seemed to thrive there. When it was pick-up time, he was always happy and seemed to sleep very well from getting his exercise and socialize in. (He also smelled great on his longer stays. Thank you for the baths!) Jen is super flexible and communicative. We were so appreciative of this since we tend be rather spontaneous and would ask to drop him off the day before sometimes. We also would extend his stay last minute, for example, when we were taking road trips and wanted to stop for the night instead of driving all the way through a town. (Sorry and thank you so much, Jen!) Shaka has stayed over from one day to two weeks (possibly more), and each time, we've received text updates from her and even pictures of him happy with his friends. I always looked forward to those. Shaka passed away early last year, and I've been meaning to write this for a long time to say, "Thank you, Jen!" for being such a wonderful caregiver and trustworthy and friendly person overall. Dog parents, I 1000% recommend Jen.

One of our cats is quite old and can no longer see, and he takes medication, so we were nervous about having new people take care of him.

We loved getting the daily reports (with photos!), it really helped to put our minds at ease. We knew that our kitties were receiving great care, attention, and affection. We will definitely be using PetPals again and would highly recommend them. THANK YOU, Jennifer and Madi!!!

I came home from a short trip to find my dog greeting me at the door, not secured in her crate as I…read morewas told she would be in the emails I received. We do not let our dog free-roam when we are not home, and our house was not set up for it. There was trash in the trash cans that she could have eaten, and any number of things she could have gotten into that could be harmful to her. She also urinated and pooped on the carpet. In my bedroom. So I was cleaning that up at midnight after traveling. And of course I cannot stop smelling it. It's going to take getting the carpet cleaned. We have had this dog for 5 years and this is the first time she has EVER peed or pooped in the house. She also peed and pooped again when I took her out when I got home. This is very outside of normal for her and it makes me wonder if she was actually getting let out on her visits. I will be checking our cameras to see.

The staff are lovely and it's affordable enough but I don't want to come home from a long work day and have to give my dog a bath every single time because he has been soaking in urine all day. He smells like a downtown street corner in July. The other thing is he comes home and just is clearly dehydrated. Like pulling me desperately to his water bowl. I've told them before to monitor this and it isn't being done. I'd rather pay more for better because my dog deserves it. 2 stars for price.
