What Portland Pet Owners Really Say About Petme
Portland’s evergreen canopy, forest trails and riverfront walks demand sitters familiar with wet-weather footing, trail etiquette and seasonal trail limitations. Petme links you to walkers who know quiet paths in Forest Park, sitters comfortable with home boarding near suburban parks, and cat carers who understand apartment expectations in urban neighborhoods. Whether you’re in the Pearl, near the waterfront, or out in the Hills, Petme matches your pet to sitters who keep activity going rain or shine.
