I am a Proud Portland Native that spent my early childhood in inner SE Portland and moved to North Portland to be the 4th generation to live in my grandmother's house in the University Park Neighborhood. I was the 3rd generation in my family to proudly attend Roosevelt High school before heading off to Eugene to become a Duck at UofO (I graduated in 1989) and there I first began house sitting and petsitting to earn extra money for school. Later when I returned to Portland in my early 20's I continued to house sit and pet sit for older friends who were traveling and one summer spent only 11 days in my apartment! I did this for several years. SO when it came time now in my life to earn money after difficulty finding a Social Services job, I decided after owning and operating Touchstone Coffee House from 1999-2007 I could embark on another personal business and opened GOTCHA COVERED Home & Pet Sitting Services By Becky Bilyeu! ***I currently am unemployed (other than Gotcha Covered services) as I find such great joy being with animals and the income is always helpful and supports me to pay my bills.
