“Brandy is the best pet sitter ever!! She is always super responsive and was able to accommodate our very last-minute request this weekend. She goes above and beyond what we ask of her, and our kitties just love her!”
“Great job caring for my Nico! Gave him the potty break and energy release he needed during my long work days! Will be using in the future for sure! Thank you again for all your help, and being so helpful!”
“This was our first time using a sitter for our dog and Julia exceeded expectations. We booked them for several drop in visits and they were on time and provided visit info with pictures almost immediately. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone.”
“Tori was great! Arrived right on time, gave an insulin shot no problem, and spent the rest of the time giving loves and taking cute pictures. We'll absolutely use her services again and would recommend to others!”
About: Having a lifetime's worth of caring for my own pets gives me a wealth of experience and knowledge with critters of all shapes and sizes. Family, friends, and neighbors have entrusted me to feed, play with, and even just check in on their pets and homes since I was a child. When you can't be there, I am happy to make sure your buddy gets all the love, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Rest assured that whether your pet is an old friend or a new addition, I will provide customized care - from snuggles to medication, walks to post-surgical care, and everything in between! I have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pet(s)! My availability includes regularly scheduled visits and drop ins are welcome. I can also be available on short notice. I enjoy providing conscientious, customized, and individualized care. Please share with me any favorite games, treats, and rewards! Trust, safety, satisfaction, and attention to detail are my highest priorities.
About: I recently moved back in to the area from California. We are still getting our bearings off the city and finding new places to play and explore As a disabled veteran and single mom, i am home most of the time, outside of some time at the gym or taking my 3 year old to the park. She loves animals, is quite gentle, and is never just left with animals alone. She tends to be helpful in filling Lola's bowl with water and food and tossing a treat to show some love. If kids are not okay, I am child free Saturday through Sunday afternoons, for those times when you need to be doggy free. Fresh water is provided inside and out on the deck to bask, as well as a constant eye when not out for a walk. I tend to avoid dog parks with other people's pets under my watch, I'd prefer to maintain a safe and predictable environment.
About: I treat each dog with individual care, using calm energy, consistency, and encouragement. Whether your pup needs a relaxing walk or a bit of structured guidance, I tailor every visit to their personality and needs. Your dog's happiness and safety are always my top priority. I'm currently working from home full time from 5am- 1:30pm, which gives me flexibility to walk dogs on my lunch break and any time after 1:30pm. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether its playtime, walks, or just relaxing together at home. I have a fully fenced backyard that your dog will enjoy a safe, supervised, and loving environment. I can create your pet if requested or needed for comfort and safety. I treat every dog as if they are my own with patience, affection, and lots of playtime!
“Kaylee was very accommodating and flexible. She gave great updates and took excellent care of our furbabies! Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend that you do the same!”
“Sally did a wonderful job with our pets! She is caring, professional, and really attentive to our needs. She kept our pets comfortable and calm while giving us daily updates. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had pets of most kinds since I was young. If you’re not a pet person your not my kind of person. Lol I I do work a 7:30-3:30 M-F job as an elementary teacher, but my own children are grown and on their own and I have spare time in the evenings and weekends and thought this would be fun. I also have summers free. I have 2 dogs of my own. They are “cat and dog friendly.” We often visit the local dog park and my dogs are very social.
“Krystina and Adam took great care of our 4 dogs and chickens while we were away for the weekend. We got daily notifications that they were at our house and pictures of our pups playing in the yard.”
About: I will look after your little one lovingly and with focused attention. If you are looking for a pet sitter to dote on your pup I'm the right fit for you! They will be the main focus of the time I'm with them and I'm happy to follow any special instructions you might have. I only accept one boarder at a time. Please reach out with any questions. Best, Mel I'm currently available Wed-Sun to do drop in care near Veneta. I'm available for boarding Thurs-Sat. Please message me to see if I'd be a good fit for your fur baby! My home is already very pet safe but if you find you have concerns when we do a meet and greet, I'm open to feedback! Twenty-seven years experience as a caregiver, and many years as a pet parent, has helped me become very aware of safety and it's always a focus and priority.

Dani L.
“Hello, Occasionally I travel out of town to see friends and family, sometimes just for a weekend, other times a week or two. Thankfully, I've been able to rely on Dani to take good care of my cat Sammy while I'm away. I've had Sammy for a long time and care very much for her, so I'd hesitate to leave her with someone I wasn't sure would give her the care she needs. And every time I hired Dani, I came home to find Sammy happy and healthy, fed, and given her medication I'd definitely hire Dani again”
Francesca C.
“I love how Francesca pays attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew my little guy: from his treats and his routine down to the way he likes to play ball. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. I would HIGHLY recommend Francesca and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with furry people. Don't worry about stressing or planning a trip to the kennel, let Francesca come over and take care of your little family at home. Additionally, Francesca is available for to watch your furry family member for the day or overnights at her home. AND, she will update you as often as you’d like regarding your pets and their behavior. Call her today!!”

“I have known Mel for several years and we trade dog care often. Not only does she have a dog with some extra medical needs that she diligently and lovingly takes care of, but she got my shy and picky dog to love her and does well in her care. Trusting someone with your fur-baby can be tough at first, but if you give Mel a chance then you definitely will be making a good choice. I wholeheartedly recommend Mel as a sitter for you.”
