Professional and Reliable Pet Care

Hi! My name is Rebecca Olachea.

I've been a life-long animal lover and I've had dogs and cats my entire life. As of June 2024, my partner Christina and I have 6 pets of our own (4 cats and 2 dogs - an old chihuahua/dachshund mix, and a boxer/pit puppy). I previously worked in the manufacturing industry as a QA Inspector and Technician but after 15 years I got frustrated enough to leave and start a business doing something I love - taking care of pets.

I've hired dog walkers and pet sitters when I've been at work or away from home and I know first-hand how much of a relief it is to know that I had someone there to look after my fur babies. My dogs are less stressed, too, since they are getting more exercise and not in a kennel for 8 to 10 hours a day. Getting pictures and updates always brought me joy and relief knowing that they were all right, and who doesn't like getting pictures of their pets in the middle of a busy workday?

I am great with details - no matter how big or small - and I will ensure your pets are well taken care of. Pup At Heart is a professional licensed and insured business in Oregon. I also took the Dove Lewis Pet First Aid class to make sure I could help keep your pets safe in case of any emergency, and Mental Health First Aid because I care about helping people in need as well.

Personally, I play drums in a band, I'm active in the LGBTQIA community performing as a drag king (aka Johnny O) for almost 20 years, and supporting non-profits with my time. I'm originally from San Diego but have lived in Portland since 2004. I love it here, and I especially love my co-workers - your dogs and cats. 🐾🐾🐾
