about
hi there!
We’re Josh and Sandy and we’ve been taking care of pets in Northwest Portland since 2020. We adore animals with all our hearts and are looking forward to the opportunity to give your best friend (or friends) all the care and love they deserve!
At Pet Nerds, the comfort, safety, and happiness of your pet is our top priority. Whether it’s taking your pup for a walk around the neighborhood, dropping in to feed and hug your kitty, or staying overnight to make sure everyone is entertained and taken care of, we enjoy every second we get to spend with your furry friend.
Shoot us an email or text, and we’ll schedule a free meet-and-greet to introduce ourselves to you and your pet – we’re excited to get to know you, your fuzzy companion, and learn how we can best serve you!

dog walks
Walking pups around The Pearl, Slabtown, and the Alphabet District is our specialty!
If your pup loves chasing balls at the Fields Dog Park, strolling along the Willamette , or a jaunt down 23rd to do some window-shopping, we’ve got you covered.
For thirty minutes (or longer!) we’ll pop in, take your pup for a stroll around your neighborhood, and top off their food and water for free. (Hugs and playtime are always on the house!)

For thirty minutes or more, your pet will get our undivided attention and get spoiled rotten to boot!

Sandy and Josh cared for my two high-energy cats for the weekend. I can tell from the photos and videos they had a ball. I arrived home to content felines. Grateful for Pet Nerds' time and care and would highly recommend them.

Having Pet Nerds housesit and care for our senior dog was wonderful. Sandy and Josh are great at communication and frequent check-ins with sweet photos of our pup! We were able to vacation with peace of mind and trust that all was well in our home while we were gone.

Josh and Sandy continue to be the best sitters ever. I never thought I'd feel completely comfortable leaving my kitties alone while I travel, but they're responsible, kind, and truly care about making sure your beloved animals are safe and happy. Couldn't recommend them more.

Pet Nerds has been so great with my 1.5 year old pup! Sandy walks and then plays with her on my long work days. She sends great updates too! I will absolutely continue having her come back for walks!
