My experience

10+ years

Most of my experience comes from sitting with pets, however over the last year I have done housesitting in 4 different locations around the Portland area. I’ve lived in Portland my whole life, so I am well equipped with the resources needed

This is the third time Mary has looked after Jasper for us. He loves his play time with her and I come home to a happy cat. May is organized and very clean

This was our first time using Trusted Housesitters and we were so pleased. Mary agreed to meet with us prior to our vacation so we could see her in person

Mary looked after Amy’s pets & home

Mary did an amazing job watching our dog and house sitting for us while we were gone on a two week vacation. Our dog was perfect when we returned. The house was also tidy. Mary promptly responded to the messages I sent. It was such a nice feeling to not have to worry about our dog or house while we were gone. I knew Mary was taking care of everything!! I would highly recommend her!!!
