Pet care in Southeast Portland
Thoughtful care for the pets you love.
Simple, flexible care for dogs, cats, and household pets from a small, neighborhood-based team. We’re here for the everyday things that help pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for at home.
The idea
One household. One visit. Everything covered.
Pet care doesn’t always fit neatly into separate categories. Sometimes the dog needs a walk, the cat needs dinner, someone needs fresh water, and the litter box could use some attention too.
Our Pet Care Visits are designed to handle all of that in one visit, with care shaped around your pets and their normal routines.
Our everyday care
Pet Care Visits
A flexible visit built around what your pets actually need that day. We’ll follow their routines, give them some attention and company, and take care of the little things that make being away easier.
$30
A good fit for a quick walk, potty break, meal, or check-in.
$40
More time for longer walks, multiple pets, enrichment, or a little extra company.
More pets, same visit.
Up to two dogs are included at no additional charge.
For households with two or more dogs, we generally recommend the 40-minute visit so everyone has plenty of time and attention.
Three-dog households may have a small additional charge, depending on the dogs and care involved. We’ll always let you know ahead of time if an additional charge applies.
One visit, all your pets

For the pets who stay home
Care that fits into real life.
Whether you’re at work, out for the day, or simply need an extra hand, we’ll keep things familiar for your pets. Same home, same routines, thoughtful care.
Something we’re building
Buddy Walks
Good walks are even better with a friend.
Buddy Walks pair compatible dogs for shared neighborhood walks. We’ll get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, pace, and comfort around other dogs before making a match.
A walk with the right kind of company
We’ll head out together, follow their pace, and make the most of our time outside — with plenty of room for walking, exploring, fresh air, and all the interesting things worth stopping to see along the way.
Good matches take time.
Buddy Walks may not be available right away. We’re building them gradually as we get to know more local dogs and find the right combinations. We’d rather make a thoughtful match than rush it.
Getting started
Care that starts with getting to know your pets.
We’ll start by learning about your pets, their routines, and what matters to you. From there, we’ll figure out what kind of care makes the most sense.
Tell us about them.
Send us a little bit about your pets, their routines, and what you’re looking for.
We’ll make a plan.
We’ll talk through the details and make sure the visit is a good fit for everyone.
We’ll take it from there.
Once we know what your pets need, we’ll keep things simple and take good care of them.
Good care starts with knowing the little things.
A little closer to home
Small, local, and personal.
We’re building Al Fresco Tails one neighborhood household at a time. That means familiar faces, thoughtful care, and enough attention to notice the little things that make your pets themselves.
