House sitting in Portland

Packed with big-city character, small-town charm, and plenty of pets, there's no wonder animal lovers enjoy house sitting in Portland.

Stay with adorable animals across Portland while their owners are away and unlock more than just free accommodation. You'll experience life as a true Portlander with a cute companion by your side, such as a pup who’ll play tour guide or a cuddly cat. Explore the sights of the city, feast at the food markets, or even transport yourself to the Far East with a visit to the famous Japanese Garden — it's all waiting for you when you go house sitting in Portland.

See Portland's coolest sights

Portland is well known for its unique, quirky atmosphere that makes it totally different from other cities. When you're house sitting in Portland, you'll be able to make the most of the experience by visiting some special places. The weekly Saturday Market is a great place to find unique, handmade arts and crafts. The iconic Powell's City of Books is an enormous bookstore that takes up a whole block of the city, and the FreakyButTrue Peculiarium is one of the strangest museums you'll ever visit, with fake severed body parts, an alien autopsy, and more. The weirdest place may just be its gift shop, though, where you can get freshly baked cookies made with scorpions and crickets.

Take a trip to the Far East

Why not visit Japan or China while you're house sitting in Portland? The Portland Japanese Garden is a stunning version of a typical Eastern garden, with carefully landscaped greenery, Japanese plants, and a waterfall. Nearby, the Lan Su Chinese Garden also draws inspiration from Asia. Quiet and serene, it offers a tearoom where you can sit and quietly contemplate the pond, pagodas, and beautiful scenery. If you're looking after a dog in Portland, then be aware that pooches are not welcome in either of these special gardens. Don't worry, though, there are plenty of fun places where you can frolic with Fido!

Time for walkies!

The most iconic spot to bring your pup when you're looking after a dog in Portland is Washington Park. This massive park covers 400 acres. Dogs must be leashed at all times, but you'll find a lot of trails to explore together. Don't miss the Hoyt Arboretum, an area of the park with great hiking paths that wind their way through a wooded zone. Another dog-friendly walking spot is Forest Park. With more than 80 miles of trails in this park, you won't run out of places to explore!

A taste of Portland will soon show you why this city is so different, special, and popular with visitors. Join TrustedHousesitters’ pet-loving community today and start your journey as a house sitter in the Pacific Northwest!
