“Amy was an amazing sitter! I felt completely at ease having her in my home with my dogs, who absolutely adored her. She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent lots of pictures, and even handled a tornado warning, making sure the dogs were safe and secure. I would highly recommend her and would happily have her sit again in the future!”


“Stephanie and Scott took care of our dogs like they were their own. They had so much fun and were totally relaxed when we came home. We appreciated feeling totally trusting and at ease being away from our pups so much!”



“I recently hired Erin to watch my pups, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Erin displayed incredible patience and understanding, quickly establishing trust with my pups. She kept a consistent routine, which really helped calm my one high-strung dog’s nerves. Communication was excellent; Erin provided regular updates and shared photos, making me feel at ease while I was away. She also went above and beyond by engaging in playtime and providing plenty of exercise, which made a noticeable difference in my dog's behavior. Overall, I highly recommend Erin for anyone needing a sitter, especially for dogs with high energy or anxiety. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs!”


“Jordan stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a few days. She was so kind and updated me many times with how they were doing and pictures for us to see. She even tidied up and did laundry for us which blew me away! I felt great leaving our dogs with her and would request her again! 🙂”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

About: I grew up with cats since I was 8 years old, and adopted a husky puppy about 2 years ago. I have 2 kittens and 1 dog of my own. Since becoming a pet owner myself, I have grown passionate about providing the best life and the best care for my babies! I would love to help out the community and spend my spare time caring for your furry members of your family. Having 2 years of experience training and caring for a high energy puppy, I am confident I can provide top notch care, and treat your pets as my own. I am working full time at Dow as an engineer. I have every other Friday off, but I am also able to provide care after 4 o clock on Friday’s I work. I am free Saturdays and Sundays all day. With two kittens and a dog myself, I would prefer to provide house sitting services or drop in visits in your home. I can easily take your dogs out for a potty break, food/water break, and a walk for drop in visits. I can crate your pup as well. I am also more than happy to provide care for your kitties, such as litter box cleaning, feeding, and lots of cuddles and treats.

About: Hi, we're Logan & Candice! Candice's upbringing has been full of pets with 5 dogs, 3 cats, a lizard, turtle and 20-gallon aquarium full of creatures. Growing up, Logan always had a motley crew of animals. We fostered a large number of dogs & cats. We even had a pet turtle and gerbils. It was an incredible time indeed! Candice has experience with many different animals from dogs and cats to chickens and fish. Her big hope is that your pet is a little cuddle bug just like her. She has taken care of family and friend’s pets in Oregon, Washington and Alaska, each time they beg her to come back again! Logan has similar experience to Candice but instead of chickens, rabbits! He especially loves cats. An avid runner and hyperactive human himself, he enjoys letting pups get their energy out on the trails if it’s something the owner permits. He has experience with many friends and family’s pets and always receives rave reviews. We’re quiet, clean, and love to live simply, leaving a small footprint wherever we go. If you have a pet/house you’d like cared for, we’d love to connect! Candice and I work remotely as photographers, videographers and writers. Our schedules are flexible, we don't accept anything to which we can't commit 100%. Your pet is in the best of hands. As experienced travelers, we’re respectful of the spaces we inhabit and treat every home as if it were our own. We love animals and have cared for everything from dogs and cats to chickens and fish, always ensuring they receive the love and attention they need. Whether you’re looking for someone to maintain your garden, keep your home tidy, or provide top-notch care for your pets, we’re here to help. We look forward to the opportunity to care for your home and furry friends, allowing you to travel with complete confidence.

“Kallie is nothing short of amazing! Every day she spent with my dog Maya, she would send me pictures of how happy she was after going for a long walk and getting to play fetch in the backyard. When I started my search for a new dog sitter, I was very nervous since I knew I would want someone that would treat my dog as they would their own. With Kallie, my search is over and I definitely plan on booking her again in the near future!”


About: For over 15 years, I've dedicated myself to fostering dogs, gaining extensive experience with all breeds, large and small. My passion lies in building trust and genuine relationships with each individual dog, understanding that every pup needs unique attention and companionship. I've supported countless dogs through challenging times, including post-surgical recovery for puppies and severe medical conditions, always offering unwavering love. I view dogs as cherished members of the family who look to me for care and guidance. Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician and stay at home dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when you need me. I have a backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!
