“Kayla is so responsive and we really appreciate her communication style. She asks thoughtful questions to ensure our dogs have what they need! We’re looking forward to continuing to work with her.”


“We’ve had Raina care for our pets more than once now, and she’s been absolutely wonderful each time. She’s caring, reliable, and always keeps us updated with lots of sweet photos. Our two dogs and cat are clearly comfortable and happy with her, which gives us such peace of mind when we’re away. Highly recommend!”


“Katrine has been amazing with our 6-month old border collie puppy. Katrine comes by in the afternoon of our workdays and takes Banyan on hikes or other fun outings. She always plays with her, takes great photos of their adventures, and is very communicative. Best of all, Banyan is a much calmer and happier girl when I get home from work - I even have time to unpack my bag and decompress from the day before having to take her on her evening walk ( normally Banyan is a mad woman when I come home - so full of energy!) Katrine also asks questions that make it clear she’s being so considerate of our dog’s needs and very respectful of our home. Would highly recommend Katrine, she’s a great resource and we’ll be using her all summer.”


About: I am a currently in vet school studying to become a veterinarian. I have also been a vet assistant working with dogs and cats for a year. I have had cats all of my life and have done live-in pet sits for dogs. I am very active and love to exercise with other people's dogs. I have a soft spot for pets with special needs. I'm in school on the weekdays from about 9-5pm, with lunch in between. I am able to stay at the house and will spend time with your pet while studying. I do not have any regular commitments on the weekends. I will follow whatever routine you have in place for your pet to the best of my abilities so that they can adjust to a different caretaker easily.

“Savanah came twice a day to feed and play with our kitties and clean their litter. Though Sissy and Rex are not used to people, she was able to get them to come to her and eat and play. She even spent extra time with them. The only issue was minor in that she left the lights on when she left a couple of times, which caused a neighbor to worry about someone being in the house at 3 am. Savanah cared for the cats very well and left the house as clean as she found it. She is a very competent young woman and we would like to be able to call on her again when we go out of town.”


“Sandor was available last minute to check on my needy pups while I was away for half the day. He was very kind during the meet and greet. My dogs seemed less stressed when I got home. THANK YOU SANDOR”


“Thank you so much for caring for our 2 cats. It was a very hot weekend and I appreciate the care you gave to our felines. I didn't have to worry while away for my birthday weekend.”


“Absolutely fantastic. Communicated immediately and efficiently if there were any problems. The cats loved her and she sent lots of pictures of them being silly, which was always a highlight of the day.”


About: I have four years experience working at a vet clinic, which included general care, vaccine administration, and nail trims. I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, and even horses. I currently don’t have any dogs or cats but am a loving owner of one horse! I am a college student looking for a part time job to keep me busy on my days off. I have Sunday through Tuesday available most weeks! I have a lot of experience with dogs and cat care, I would love to take dogs on walks, or even hanging out with them to give them some company! I have experience with dogs of all sizes including high energy and nervous pets too!

“Amy is absolutely wonderful. She is professional, reliable, a good communicator and did a wonderful job watching my cat while I was out of town. She even collected eggs from my hens, which was such a great relief for me. I completely trust her with my cat (and hens) for pet sitting in the future. I highly recommend Amy for your pit sitting needs.”


“Christine has watched our 11 month old mini bernedoodle a few times this past summer (this review is so overdue!) and she is EXCEPTIONAL. She is seriously in a league of her own. Our puppy loves her and I always feel completely comfortable and relaxed when he is in her care. Christine’s love of animals and her strong aptitude as a dog sitter was so apparent from the first time we met her. Since then, I’m always amazed at how happy and relaxed our puppy is after spending time with Christine. She takes the time to do new and fun activities with our puppy (always with our permission of course) and I always appreciate the amount of quality time she spends with him. She is incredibly communicative and thorough, providing consistent and well timed updates throughout her stay. I literally never have to check in with Christine because she always beats me to it! In addition to providing the best care for our dog, she is always a meticulous house guest and leaves our home cleaner than when she arrived! Christine is just wonderful and we’d use her every time if we could, but she books up fast! If you see she’s available on your dates my only advice would be to book her immediately!”

About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.

About: I have been a huge animal-lover my whole life. I grew up raising dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, cows, chickens and horses. I decided to carry my passion for animals into my continued education, where I recently graduated with a Bachelors degree in Animal Science, giving me thorough knowledge of our companions’ health and wellness. Beyond this, I worked for an equine facility taking care of boarder horses and teaching kids lessons. Currently I work for a boarding kennel, being responsible for all-around dog care. Previously, I worked for a dementia care company caring for elderly clients, which represents my caring nature very well, as I enjoyed what I did! I am comfortable taking care of pets of all ages, shapes and sizes. I recently moved to Oregon from Northern Idaho and would love to find recurring clients that want some extra and well-deserved attention for their pets. I am currently work 4 days a week, but I am flexible to take care of pets around those hours. Unfortunately, the schedule shifts weekly, so if you have some flexibility on times, we will make it work! I can be very dependable on feeding and potty times and try to keep their regular schedule as consistent as possible. I will provide cuddle and playtime sessions as much as I can as well!

About: Hi there. I’ve owned animals since I was quite little but I’m been in the pet sitting/caring industry since I was 13. My first job I was taking care of horses,donkeys,a mini pony,two goats, 2 dogs and cats. I’ve have been in veterinary medicine almost 4 years now as a veterinary nurse. So if you pet has medical needs that needs to be done wile your gone. I’ve got you covered. I always like to meet pets with their pet parents. Having the pet comfortable around me is very important to my job and the pets well being! I work only 4 days a week and I work different hours than most people do too. So my schedule is pretty open as for my schedule I always like animal in their own home. It smells like them and their family. And I don’t like to break routine for them. Doing it their home is stress free in my opinion

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my genuine love and dedication to each pet I care for. I provide personalized attention, ensuring that each pet feels comfortable and happy. My reliability, experience, and ability to understand and cater to each pet’s unique needs make me a standout choice for pet owners. I’m currently working 2 days in a pay period (Every two weeks). So I am free almost all the time! I’d love to meet you and your pet :) I put them on a leash if you don’t have a gated backyard or if I go on walks. I make sure to keep them out of certain places you wouldn’t want your pet going. And I make sure to pick up after them to leave your home just how you left it if not better.

About: I have experience with my own goofy large labradoodle and friend's dogs and cats. I have also been a Rabbit 4H leader and owned goats and alpacas. I also free range a flock of 40 chickens on our homestead. I would be happy to help care for your very important pup(s) and other animals. I have a flexible work schedule and also work from home. Most holidays I am in town and available to help care for your pup. I do not care for dogs at this time at my home. This could change in the future. I will update when a change in services provided occurs.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and love to spend time/care for them! I love walking and being outside which is the perfect combo for a happy dog. I am flexible with what your pet needs, and am comfortable with giving oral or IM medications, special needs, and generally any dog. I have experience working as a vet receptionist as well as a vet assistant for both large and small animal. I have spent much of my life with horses, dogs and even some variety of small exotic animals. I am knowledgeable about basic dog body language and training making it easy for me to handle most canines! I live in a dog friendly house with indoor areas for dogs to play, including a VERY large fully fenced back yard. Additionally, I have my own car so I can get to wherever you and your dog need me to be. I also live near amazing parks and dog parks that give me great options for exercise and activity outside of my home. I’m looking forward to providing your pet a home away from home! I am currently in college and working part-time, so would love to spend my time walking dogs. I am very active and love to walk, hike, run, and much more! I have a lot of veterinary experience so medical needs are easy to take care of. Otherwise, I am always able to be present and play with the dogs. I am an avid reader as well, so am happy to just cuddle if that's what the dog wants!

About: Growing up I loved walking and caring for my neighbors and family friends dogs. I am passionate about creating a safe loving and fun environment for your dog! I go to the gym early some mornings and I have class on Tuesdays at 12:45-3 but other than that I take online classes and can balance pet sitting with school:) In your home I will provide your pets with the same love and care they're used to. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy by sticking to their routine.

Emma B.
“Emma housesat with our pets (two kitties and a Labrador retriever) for one month. She sent us updates, including pictures, several times per week. She made sure that vet appointments were kept, the animals were happy, and our home was clean when we returned. She was enthusiastic about taking our dog on trail adventures; our chunky girl even lost a few pounds, which she needed (per the vet). Everything was well-kept and it was clear that all pets were treated well, as they showed much affection for her. Emma is responsible and capable; we were impressed with her maturity and character. We will be seeking her services again.”

Lilia A.
“We hired Lilia to watch Skeet, our guinea pig along with 2 of our Pitbull Furbabies, Vaika'i and Hunnygurl. This was 4th of July weekend of last year, for our son's birthday because we were going to be out of state. Lilia was amazing. She stayed at our home during that weekend because we felt it was best for our furbabies. She paid attention to detail. Hunnygurl is old, so she takes medication daily. Vaika'i is the chillest dog. Skeet needs to have hay constantly. She ABSOLUTELY loves all animals. Definitely recommend.”

I have know her for at least 3-4 years. She has been dog sitting for us on and off for the last 2 years. She is dependable, compassionate with the dogs, and clean in the house. She can also give medications to the pets if they require them. I have great trust in her and would strongly recommend her to any potential customers.”
