Pet Sitting Collister

“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”

About: We’ve been dedicated and compassionate lifelong pet owners with over 30 years’ experience pet sitting. This has provided us hands-on, real-life experience caring for animals through every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. We understand that pets are family, and treat every animal in our care with the same patience, attentiveness, and love we give our own. What sets us apart from other sitters is our personal, individualized approach. We take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort needs so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. We’re calm, observant, and reliable, which helps us quickly recognize changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. Special Skills & Care Experience • Puppy care & basic training support (house-training routines, leash manners, positive reinforcement) • Senior pet care, including slower-paced walks, mobility assistance, and medication reminders (as instructed) • Experience with anxiety-prone or shy pets • Maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and enrichment activities • Clear communication with pet parents, including regular updates and photos We believe trust, consistency, and kindness are the foundation of great pet care. Our goal is to provide an stress-free experience for both pets and their humans—so you can relax knowing your pet is in capable, loving hands. As stay-at-home pet parents, we have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows us to provide attentive, hands-on care throughout the day. We’re home most of the time, which means pets in our care are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. This availability also allows us to closely monitor behavior, comfort, and routines, ensuring each pet receives personalized care and plenty of love and attention. Safety, trust, and comfort are our top priorities in every pet care setting. Whether caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we follow each pet’s routine closely to maintain a familiar and stress-free environment. We ensure all spaces are clean, secure, and free of hazards, and carefully supervise pets during play, feeding, and walks. We respect household rules, use leashes and safety protocols at all times, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. Our goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel safe, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

“Elise has been taking care of my cats for four years. She is consistent, dependable, and trustworthy. One of my cats can be fearful of strangers but he warmed up to her immediately. She takes a huge weight off my shoulders any time I travel. 5/5 stars!”

“I am so glad that we found Holly to take care of our 2 dogs! We had to find a pet sitter with only 4 hours notice to do a meet and greet. Holly texted us back right away! She was so nice and kind during the meet and greet. and we booked her. She had the greatest communication with us during her 2 pet visits and sent us photos and videos while we were gone! She fed the dogs and talked to them like they were her own. We will be using her exclusively from now on! You can count on Holly to take care of your pets.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was young and have pet sat for friends neighbors and family members. Along with pet sitting I have 2 pooches of my own one of which requires some extra special care. I have experience taking care of pets of all ages and sizes, my experience does not stop at dogs as I have taken care of cats, lizards, and chickens as well. I am a full time student with availability at the beginning and end of each day and some here and there in the middle, I also work full time on the weekends but make sure to stop in on pooches during my breaks, overnight, or before and after work to give them the attention they so deserve! As a pet owner we want only the best for our pets, as a pet sitter we want to keep your pets in their most comfortable and safe space your home! Keeping them happy and healthy and respecting your ways of keeping them whether that be crates to keep them away from mischief or free roaming as the ruler of their space. The goal is to keep them comfortable and stress free with ample amounts of love and attention.

“Thank you for your thoroughness. You were super communicative and went above and beyond.”

About: After working for a local pet sitting for several years, I have seen many types of different little pets, from rabbits to birds to hamsters, as well as walked (and gotten all sizes of sloppy kisses) from doggos of all kinds- and I can’t wait to meet your little fur babies and love on them as my own! I focus my attention to positive reinforcement and on going training, and of course, all the updates pet parents can handle! Be prepared to receive many cute and share worthy photos of your precious little ones, in their comfort zone as well as out and about on our walks! And rest assured, all will be taken care of with the utmost of caution and preparedness, to ensure they are happy and safe when you return. I am actually currently looking for a part or full time position, but would love to visit your precious fur babies in the mean time! I believe trust and transparency are of utmost importance! I love to send updates and pictures while pet parents are away, and answer (and ask if needed) any questions as well!

“Ellie was fantastic! She stayed in communication with me and made sure I got updates. My pups were very happy and well taken care of”

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals most of my life, starting on my grandparent’s farm in Eastern Oregon where I spent my summers and winters surrounded by everything from dogs and cats to goats, chickens, and horses. I’ve been pet sitting professionally since I was 16, and now with over a decade of experience, I bring both passion and expertise to every pet I care for. I’m trained in animal behavior, body language, dog training techniques, veterinary care, and medication administration. I’m also certified in Cat and Dog First Aid and Pet CPR. Whether you have a puppy learning the ropes or a senior dog needing gentle, consistent care, I’ll stick closely to your routine and provide the love and structure your pet needs to feel safe and happy. I work full time at an indie pet supply store. We wake early to fit in a walk and some solid structured training and play time. I would be available to check in on your pets the same way both before and after work, with my work not starting until 9:30 am and getting out at 7:30 at the latest. When I care for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home even when their people are away. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I tailor my care to fit both your pet’s routine and your comfort level. On walks, I like to switch up our routes so your dog can explore new trails and work their brain. During drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets play, affection, and any care they need whether it’s feeding, medication, or a quick game of fetch before I leave. When house sitting, I follow your daily routine closely so your pets experience the same rhythms they’re used to. I’m happy to include walks or even pup cups and store visits if that’s something you’re comfortable with. I love including dogs in my day whenever possible, and I’m always respectful of everyone’s boundaries. Every animal is different, and every household is unique. That’s why I focus on communication, consistency, and making sure your pets feel truly cared for while you’re away.

“Teaira was reliable and clearly loves animals, and my standoffish cat immediately liked her when they were introduced. While on my vacation, Teaira gave me huge peace of mind that my cat was being taken care of by the right person.”

“Wendy did an amazing job - very professional! She sent me pictures of each cat twice a day and even got the one cat to take her meds. Cat bowls all clean and cans rinsed and in the recycling bin. I will definitely try to use Wendy in the future.”

About: I work from home, and am able to provide lots of love and attention to your pup! I live in a single family home with a fully fenced yard. Our small poodle mix loves to socialize and play with other dogs. I work from home, so I’m always home! I have availability for multiple daily walks and playtime. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times. I have a fully fenced back yard. There is also a large park to walk in (leashed) in my neighborhood. I can meet any feeding needs or special instructions.

“I love using Kelci to watch my girl! I always go ask her first before anyone else. She is super communicative and you can tell she genuinely cares for your pat.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs. Last year, I rescued a senior dog and cared for him through recovery from double leg surgery, giving me firsthand experience with post-procedure care, mobility support, and close monitoring. I also administered monthly arthritis injections, so I’m comfortable giving injectable medications when needed. That summer, I took him to Alaska, where we spent our time hiking and enjoying the outdoors together. He sadly passed away from old age after a wonderful year, but caring for him reinforced my passion for providing patient, loving, and attentive care to animals. I currently have two female cats of my own, ages 4 and 5. One requires oral medication twice daily, so I’m very comfortable administering oral meds as well. I’m also fostering a friend’s male cat while she’s away at school, giving me experience managing multi-pet households. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I plan my schedule to make sure pets are never left waiting for attention or potty breaks. On days I have classes, I structure visits and walks around them so dogs get potty breaks every 3–4 hours at most, and often more frequently depending on their needs. I have no classes on Wednesdays, which allows for extra flexibility, longer visits, and additional walks or enrichment. I also aim to get 10,000 steps daily and frequently walk my neighbor’s dog at Camel’s Back Park, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of my routine. Overall, pets in my care can expect consistent check-ins, timely potty breaks, and plenty of movement and attention throughout the day, with schedules tailored to each pet’s needs and comfort. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a second-story apartment with no yard, which means pets are always leashed and closely supervised when outside. I’m careful with doors, stairways, and transitions in and out of the apartment to ensure pets stay secure at all times. While I don’t have a private yard, I’m located very close to Camel’s Back Park, allowing for regular, structured walks and fresh-air breaks in a safe, familiar environment. I tailor outings to each pet’s energy level and needs, whether that’s a calm stroll or extra time to explore. Inside, my home is clean, pet-friendly, and calm, with plenty of attention given to monitoring behavior, comfort, and safety. I follow all owner instructions closely to make sure pets feel secure and cared for in my home and during every outing.
