We've been working with EC Petcare for a few years and they are simply the best. They are knowledgeable about dogs, patient, and incredibly responsive. They share lots of pictures and updates which, for a worrier like myself, is the difference between stressing while I'm away and actually enjoying a trip. Everyone at EC Petcare that has stayed with our dogs and cat has been great - Ellaree, the business owner, clearly has a high bar for who she hires and a knack for finding thoughtful and reliable dog walkers and sitters. read more

I 100% recommend EC Petcare for all cat sitting services. We have been clients since 2023 and our sitters are always cheerful, extra kind and thoughtful and often go above and beyond. In January 2024, we were stuck in an airport because of the ice storm and our sitter braved the icy roads to come feed our kitties and make sure our pipes weren't freezing. You best believe we tipped her 100% on that visit! Part of their service includes photos or videos from every visit and they verify that all items on their checklist are completed. They are easy to communicate with via the EC Petcare portal, where it is also easy to make payments and tip on services. I haven't used other petsitter companies but I feel like their prices are really fair. Thank you, Ellaree, Sarah and Rojer! read more

Love this business. We used them to cat sit for when we were on vacation. They come to your house. Take photos of your pets. Keep in touch while you're away. Great service. We have Sendy as our sitter and she is wonderful. read more

Super professional, reasonably priced, responsive, and very friendly and easy to work with! Carrie did a great job caring for my chicken coop for a week. Sent daily pics and a status report of all the girls, took excellent care of them. Followed all my neurotic care instructions. Will 100% be a repeat customer and will recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter. read more

EC Petcare - My chicken coop - Pet Sitting Near Me

We had the best experience with EC pet care. We have an 18 month old boxer and we had two really bad experiences with Rover. I was so nervous to leave our dog, but Ellaree and her team at EC took amazing care of our dog. They went above and beyond. He was loved and well cared for in a gentle manner. Our house was spotless when we came home and our dog was so happy. They were great at handling his jumping and dog reactivity. He got lots of walks, enrichment and exercise. We are customers for life and would recommend them to anyone that asks us! read more

Very professional and easy to work with. Austin was great w/ our dogs when we visited Portland & he provided updates throughout the day. It was nice being able to explore the city knowing that our dogs were in good hands. read more

EC Petcare has done a phenomenal job for us and allows us to travel without worrying about our three elderly pets, all of whom have medical conditions and behavioral challenges. The 'extended stay' service is perfect for pets who are used to having people around most of the time. Our dog often sits by the door after we get back hoping that Ali (the pet sitter) will return. We can't recommend EC Petcare highly enough. read more

Rojer is so wonderful with our dogs, and is even patiently teaching the young impulsive lab mix to walk in a loose leash! He's a regular, trusted walker and now takes both of my dogs on happy walks while I work at home. What a great, communicative, adaptable dog walking and sitting company, with gifted employees. read more

EC Petcare - Dogs walking with Rojer - Pet Sitting Near Me

I'm really happy to work with EC Petcare for overnight stays for my people and dog reactive pup. Meike and Ali have been truly amazing caretakers - what I appreciate most is that they meet my dog where he is at. He's aloof, nervous, and it takes him a while to build trust. They adjust their approach and enrichment plans accordingly, and use positive reinforcement in alignment with our larger training plan. They also make scheduling work for multiple meets beforehand so our dog and us humans are comfortable prior to our trip. The company is highly communicative and easy to work with. They are worth every penny. read more

We absolutely loved having ec petcare take care of our two boys. The attention to detail, communication, and care put in went above and beyond our expectations. I didn't have to wait for updates and the boys seemed relaxed with Sarah. She was attentive to their body languages and built a unique relationship with each of the boys while we were away. The house was in great shape when we got back. We would absolutely recommend placing your trust in this company for any and all of your pet care needs. read more

My dog Penny is a sweetheart... to me and her dad. Exclusively.I think she was mad at us for moving her out of SF and to PDX (she missed her doggo friends and the lack of rain). We were really worried about finding her a walker she would get along with. Then she met Ellaree. And she fell in love. No joke, sometimes I think Penny loves Ellaree more than us, but that's okay, I only take it a little personally :). Ellaree is the dog whisperer and our fear-based reactive pup LOVES her so much it's tough to see her face waiting on the days she doesn't need a walk. Like today. She's just staring forlornly out the window wondering when she's going to get see Ellaree. I highly recommend at least meeting with her or the other EC Petcare pros - they are all amazing, friendly, and communicative. I trust Penny with any of them completely, and I know they love Penny as much as we do! Thanks Ellaree! read more

I highly recommend Ellaree & her employees. Ellaree as a business owner is highly professional and is always willing to work with my schedule, even if I need a walk on short notice. I have had two different walkers take my dog out & both of them met us beforehand for a consultation and are very experienced with dog behaviors, which is a must as I have an energetic GSD who can be finicky with other dogs. My dogs walking skills & attention skills have improved since receiving walks with EC Petcare, which is certainly an added bonus! I completely trust Ellaree and her judgement with the employees she hires, which is a must for me since I'm not going to let my dog leave my house with just anyone! The updates on behaviors, pictures, & after walk info is appreciated. Thank you!! - Megan & Ada read more

EC Petcare - Happy post walk pup - Pet Sitting Near Me

I reached out to EC Petcare last year in my search for helping me train my dog to walk on a leash without pulling. Ellaree responded very quickly and even though I was just outside of their current service area she kindly reached out to one of her trainers to see if he would be willing to take me and my dog on as a client. He accepted and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Nick has been so great with feedback on how to best meet the needs of my dog. He explained behaviors in a way that made sense. His training walks have done a world of good. My dog no longer pulls on his leash and doesn't chase squirrels when he sees them! We've now transitioned to tri-weekly walks without training and Nick is always great about letting me know when he's on his way. It's super cute to get pictures of my dog while he's out on his walks with Nick. I would highly recommend EC Petcare. Thanks Ellaree & Nick!! read more

Can't recommend them enough! Leaving my 13 year old cat for 3 weeks with no AC in August, I was a little nervous, but they made sure to check on her during the hottest parts of the day, and even threw in a free visit on a day it was supposed to be 100+! Very fast and compassionate communication and lots of pictures gave my anxious heart comfort and she even looked after my plants as well! Definitely will use again! read more

Ellaree and her pet care team are amazing!! Dependable, professional, reasonably priced, and you can tell they really love animals!! Your furnkids will be in great hands!! read more

EC Petcare is the best and Ellaree is absolutely amazing!!!! I had been struggling to find a good walker for my 7 year old Affenpinscher Frederick, that was reliable and also able to help us train him. We adopted Frederick only a few months ago, and he came to us not having been well socialized, so he can be a bit reactive towards other dogs. Ellaree and her team have been so amazing at helping us work on his reactiveness, and they take the best care of our little nugget while we are at work! They always keep us informed on how he's doing with other dogs and general updates on his daily walks, and not to mention they send the CUTEST photo updates! I have noticed such a difference in him since we've started using EC Petcare, I would recommend them to anyone!! read more

I've been using EC Petcare for several years now, and they are the BEST! Ellaree and her team are extremely professional, communicative and give my pets lots of love. I went out of town recently for 10 days, and knowing my 2 dogs and cat were in good hands allowed me to enjoy my trip to the fullest. I was given daily updates with photos of my fur babies, which I loved. I highly recommend EC Petcare to anyone who has pet care needs! read more

Best dog walker I've ever had! Ellarie is so sweet and great with animals. She had always been super dependable, trustworthy and great at communicating. She sends the cutest pictures of your pup on their walk. Thanks Ellarie your the best! read more

I feel so fortunate to have been connected with EC Petcare. They are very responsive to requests and scheduling, and my cat sitter Carrie is the absolute best. Our somewhat timid cat adores her, and I get lots of sweet comments and pictures from Carrie during her sessions. They also use an app which makes connecting with them so easy. I think the pricing is also quite reasonable. I would definitely recommend EC Petcare. read more

My pups been doing walk and trains and adventures with Mieke for the last few months and it's been amazing! When I adopted him a few months ago he had never been on a leash and had zero leash manners. It's been so nice getting that extra help with his training especially since I live in a busy part of town where it's impossible to avoid triggers when I take him out. I was feeling so overwhelmed and discouraged trying to do it all myself. He's improving more and more each day and I'm so thankful I found EC Petcare! read more

EC Petcare has been so wonderful as my pup has been growing up. I've experienced dog walking services as well as a personal training session with Ellaree. I've also coordinated with Ellaree when I had some tricky scheduling issues, which she was great at accommodating. EC Petcare staff seems extremely experienced, professional, helpful, knowledgable, and hands-on. Ellaree has been great with maintaining safety during COVID19. She's done a great job with meeting me where I'm at with my skill level and my dog's skill level. I would trust my dog with her and her staff any day. read more

EC Petcare and the Carrie, who watched over our two doggies did a fantastic job!!! So dependable, caring and always communicative by sending messages along with our pets photos on their walks or eating or just hanging around. Carrie gave special attention to our dogs as one of them needs daily medication and she tried different methods/food combinations until she found the magic food. Worked like a charm. The dogs warmed up to her quickly as she is kind, patient and a true animal lover! We love our petsitter!!! Thank you!!! read more

EC Petcare was the best decision for our family. Ellaree has been amazing from helping us as new puppy parents answer all our questions but also supporting our dog with weekly training and walks. It's been over a year now, let's just say we all are way more confident! I truly appreciate the professionalism and communication, it's so nice to know our dog is in great care. I highly recommend Ellaree and her team. read more

Ellaree is the best of the best. When Ellaree first came to the house to meet the cats, she was very personable and attentive. I was quite impressed with her. My cats are hyper and needy and after she cared for them the first time I knew I found the perfect sitter. When we returned from vacation, it was like we never left. They were content and happy. Ellaree sends daily updates and pictures. She's always accessible with texts for me. Ellaree has worked hard to achieve her licensing and start her business. She's been our pet sitter for over a year and I'm delighted that I can support a young woman with her own business. read more

I am SO happy with EC Petcare!! I have a 1 year old 70+ lb pitbull mix that has had a lot of anxiety & behavioral things. Ellaree really helped me with not just our problems but also general training. Ellaree is super personable, and has checked in on our progress throughout our training journey. I am pleased to report that it has only been about a month and my dog has made sooooo much progress. I have also hired EC petcare for their overnight care service while I was out of town, and that was awesome too! They kept up with my dogs training, and walked him every day for a super reasonable price. I couldn't recommend EC petcare enough! They have seriously changed me & my dogs life! read more

I was very pleased with my experience with EC Petcare. I have three larger dogs that range in age from 13 to 2. My 7 year old is reactive, to both people and other dogs. As a result, we have not been able to do much traveling due to the dilemma of what to do with him while away. I contacted EC Petcare and they agreed to work with me. Shelby did several additional meet and greets to make sure my dog would be comfortable while we were gone. The patience Shelby showed was saintlike. She also did a good job of easing my mind too. I felt as at ease as I possibly could leaving my dogs in her keeping while I was out of town. While gone, Shelby sent a lot pictures and descriptions of how everybody was doing. She went over and above what I hoped a petsitter would provide for the pups. It appears my reactive dog even warmed up to her after a few days. It is very liberating knowing that we can go on trips again with the help of EC Petcare. I have few next year that I will definitely be calling them about. I really appreciate the special care Shelby gave us and the pups. Highly recommend. read more

The sad truth is that when you love your house sitter and dog walker, you don't want to tell anyone because then it will be harder to schedule them. I don't want to tell you about EC Petcare because EC and her team are fabulous, and I don't want them to get too busy for my last minute schedule requests. Our girls are.. unique, and I'm a difficult client. We have a senior dog with a lot of pain and aggression issues, and a younger pup who needs extra exercise and solo attention where the senior can't see it. I travel a lot and sometimes my partner joins me, so we need someone we can trust with our home and dogs while we're a 5 hour flight away. EC Petcare is that someone. Their team is vetted and trained to deal with difficult dogs, and they always make sure I'm in the loop about anything that happens, even when I'm an ocean away. I recommend EC Petcare to anyone looking for professional dog care that is responsive, considerate, and will love your pets as much as you do. But.. just don't book them when I want them ;) read more

Love Ellaree! She's the most loving, reliable and knowledgeable dog lover! Our two fur babies have been with Ellaree for 1.5 years now for walks and also pet sitting and we are so glad we found her. Highly recommend! read more

I have recently started working full time and I have a dog that is used to daily walks. EC Petcare was highly recommended and Ellaree has been walking my boxer. We are so thankful for her and her kindness, helpful recommendations and the love she shows to my Cooper. read more

Home dog sitting service was great. I learned a lot about positive dog behaviors and how to entertain our pup from Ellaree and her recommendations while we were away. Our pitbull was very well cared for. read more

Attentive care delivered by people who really get animals. Easy to schedule. We've been happy ith them for everything from quick drop-in visits for our cat to longer overnight stays for our whole menagerie (the cat and two dogs). read more

I'm very protective of my pup and EC Petcare took amazing care of her when I was away at work with very long hours. They made a connection with her and she would be excited for her walks with them. I always got an update with pictures after her walks. Highly recommend! read more

Ellaree was extremely helpful watching our new doggie! She was able to help us out short notice and provided a very caring person to watch our dog while we were away. We wIll continue to use her help and would recommend her again and again. read more

So sweet and so amazing with my puppy! even sent us a Christmas card in the mail. An angel and dog whisperer!

Easily 5 stars for EC Petcare! They went above and beyond all expectations. We used the service shortly after moving to Portland and were worried about going on a trip and leaving our cats right after moving. Ellaree made sure that this wasn't a problem and checked in every day that we were gone. She provided thorough updates, pictures, and care throughout the process. We could tell she really loves and cares for animals as she was very enthusiastic and genuine interest in our kitties. One of our cats also has some very specific needs and she didn't mind spending the extra time and care for her. What a great team they have! read more
