“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”

“AAAAA++++ If you need an amazing, responsible, tuned in house/pet sitter look no further. We are incredibly grateful that Pam could fit us in her schedule and on short notice. She went above and beyond to make sure our scared cat (who hides from new people), got food in her system while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures that put us at ease. Our pets were so comfortable in her presence they looked for her when we got home. Our cats are older, grumpy and have various diets and important asthma medications -we appreciate her attention to detail so our pets could get what they needed following our similar routines. The house was cleaner than we left it, plants watered and happy kitties. We will definitely be using Pam again for a stress free vacation.”

“Erica did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! She was very communicative and sent along great photos and videos of the pups. I truly didn’t worry about leaving my dogs because I trusted that she would have it covered. High recommend Erica!”

“Alyssa stayed overnight with our two dogs for the second time and, again, did a phenomenal job! We came home to two very happy pups and a house just the way we left it. Cannot recommend her enough!”

“Wes was amazing! He was very conscientious and caring of our pups. I think he took on a little more than he expected with our situation but he was such a trooper and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur babies for two and a half weeks in his care! He sent us photos every day so we could see our pups were happy and well cared for! He also did an awesome job watching over my house and taking care of my plants! I would highly recommend him! And would definitely book him again! Thanks so much!”

“We had Megan sit our dog and cat for one day previously so had no worries having her house sit with our pets for 10 days. We returned to a clean house, happy pets, and enough confidence to recommend Megan and book her again. I think she has a good feel for what any situation requires and is able to communicate clearly. Great Job!”

“This was our first time having Katie watch our dogs and she was great! She communicated well, sent us lots of updates and pictures, and took great care of our house. She was very patient with our shy/anxious dog and took time to gain her trust. We will definitely use Katie again in the future!”
“Michelle took excellent care of our senior pet and was available on the drop of a dime. We contacted her at the last minute after our normal dog sitter became unavailable. Michelle was extremely responsive and even came to meet our pup the same day. Our 15-yo pup has multiple special needs, including hip dysplasia with mobility trouble, medication administration, etc. and Michelle handled her care wonderfully. We will certainly book her again in the future.”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’m calm, observant, and adaptable, which helps me meet the needs of pets with different temperaments and routines. I’m a University student with a part-time job. I’m available every morning before 10 a.m., have flexibility most evenings, and have breaks throughout the school day when I’m available for visits or walks. I’m happy to coordinate schedules to best meet you and your pet’s needs. With years of pet-sitting experience, I’ve learned that a calm, patient presence helps animals feel safe and comfortable. I take the time to let pets adjust to me at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or skittish. I’m attentive, warm, and respectful of each animal’s boundaries while making sure they receive the care, affection, and attention they need. I’ve also trained my own dogs, giving me experience with consistent, responsible care. I prefer to meet with clients beforehand to build trust, discuss expectations, and ensure my client feels confident before I care for their pets.
“Carrie stayed at our home for 4 nights for a house sit and pet sit for two cats. One of our cats wasn’t feeling well and she kept a close eye on him for us, which was a huge relief. She even offered to stay longer so that the cat would not be left alone on the day that we were traveling home. Additionally, she called to check on the cat after we returned. She left the house neat and clean and washed her bedding without us asking. We’d definitely recommend Carrie to anyone who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: Your pet will be loved on like one of our own! My family has many critter members including a Pitbull, Hedgehog, Frog and Bearded Dragon My routine allows for early mornings, late afternoon and evenings along with weekend care so I can support your pet with exercise, food, play, attention and cleanups As a pet owner myself, I know the difference between an ok sitter and a great one! A great sitter truly loves animals, takes detailed notes on each particular pets needs and wants and communicates well with owners with regular pictures and updates!
“I had forgotten to book a pet sitter for an over night event. June more than willing and was very helpful within a weeks time-frame we had to book. June came for a meet and greet prior to taking care of our dog and cat. Everything worked out fantastic, our pets were well cared for by June and I received updates and pictures while we were away. Our home was also kept clean and tidy. My husband and I will definitely book with June again. (In advance) I know how her calendar fills up.”

About: I had a dog growing up, who taught me how to love, and be loved like no other! I learned, that a pet, is a family member: and someone’s baby, who trust us to watch over them, while their humans are away! I strive to love your fur baby, as much as you do, and provide the best care possible! I have a partner, who helps me watch homes and pets! He loves animals, especially dogs, and cats! Caleb is currently available any time and day! Isamar works full time 7:30-4 pm monday-friday. If it is in Newberg , I take a lunch break where I can relieve/ check in on the pets, as well as my partner, meaning they would not be alone longer than 2 hours at a time! I am off and available weekends full time, with summer, holiday, and other type of breaks! The specific care depends on the needs, but our home is welcomed to any fur baby, meaning they have access to any space ! We have a fenced yard, with lots of room to roam, play and run around in! They will always be with a human watching or cuddling them .

Jessica was so great! I felt very secure knowing she was at our house and with our dogs while we were away. The dogs adored her and were happy and healthy on our return. Communication was great, just the right frequency and very clear. I would definitely recommend Jessica.
