Meet our founder, Joseph P. Kelley

As a former teacher, Joseph understands the importance of genuine caregiving. Originally from Chicago, he considers his teaching years in Chicago’s public schools a valuable life experience, the tenets of which he still embodies today.

Since switching careers from teaching to pet care, he has worked with pets throughout the Portland metro area and continues to further his education in animal handling and behavior training.

Now, he leads the pack at PetSitter Portland, only hiring the best to join his team of pet care professionals. To ensure the highest-quality services, team members must pass certifications and thorough reference/background checks—and be equally paw-sionnate about animals!

Janice is an unwavering animal enthusiast with a lifelong commitment to their well-being. Nurturing a special bond with several canine companions throughout the years, she was a dedicated volunteer dog walker at the Oregon Humane Society.

Having recently embarked on the journey of retirement, Jan finds fulfillment in nature, hiking and home improvement projects. Family remains the cornerstone of her life, with precious moments shared with her adult children and the delightful presence of her granddaughter.

After nearly two decades in the restaurant industry, Sara shifted her focus to creating a nurturing home for her daughter. She now spends her time volunteering as a homework coach for immigrant and refugee students at a local high school, cultivating a yearly garden, and transforming recycled silk ties into miniature quilts.

Joy is a native Oregonian and a dedicated student at Portland Community College, working toward her goal of becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician. Before pursuing the CVT program, she studied to become a medical assistant but soon realized her passion lay in working with animals rather than people. She is excited to continue her studies while also working part-time as a pet sitter. She shares her home with a tuxedo cat named Daisy and a Shiba Inu named Tobiko. While she has a deep love for all animals, she proudly considers herself a cat person. Joy’s interest in veterinary care extends beyond her studies—she often spends time at her partner’s veterinary office and hopes to begin shadowing there soon. Thanks to her medical background and hands-on experience, she has a strong understanding of caring for pets, particularly senior animals and those with special needs. Having had senior pets of her own, she embraces the challenge of keeping them happy and healthy. Outside of school and pet care, Joy is passionate about video games, especially classic titles, and enjoys creating and sharing game-inspired artwork online.

Joe is AWESOME! He walked my dog Oakley for a few months before I had to move but 10/10 would recommend him! He is very reliable, kind and communicates and updates you with pictures of your dog every time. If I still lived in Portland he would still be walking my dog three days a week for sure. Thank you Joe and good luck to you!

Joe has been caring for our senior dog and 3 cats for the past year, and we couldn’t be happier with his service! He is extremely detail oriented and provides lots of photos so we are always certain our pets are getting the best care while we’re away. He is comfortable providing all our dog’s medications and patiently tends to her needs, always letting us know if something seems off with her so we know he will pick up on any concern. Scheduling is easy and we’ve never had an issue with availability. We are excited that he’s started his own business, and trust he will continue to provide a high level of compassionate pet care in the area.

When my son had to go into the hospital all of a sudden, Pet Sitter PDX stepped in seamlessly and was so easy to work with. They were responsive by phone and the profile was easy to set up. We received many pictures each day showing a happy kitty and all the care Sunshine was getting. We wouldn’t use anyone else in the future. Thank you!

This company is amazing! Super reliable, communicative, and honest. They are very well organized, you can track the sitter on their app, plus they post photos of your pets so that you can see what is going on and have peace of mind. They handle medical issues, give meds, and keep everything very tidy & neat. I would thoroughly recommend them and am so glad to have found them!
