“We were extremely pleased with the attention and care Emma gave our 4 year old golden doodle. Our older dog had recently passed and our younger dog was just getting used to being an only dog, so we were a bit nervous the first time leaving her for 5 days. Emma sent texts and pictures each day to let us know things were going well. Our dog and home were well cared for. We will definitely use Emma again!”

“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! 😁”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. Much more familiar with big working dogs with high drive like huskies, German shepherds, and cattle dogs. But I love taking care of them all! The current fluff ball in my house (housemates pup) is my first time regularly looking after a smaller dog but she’s kinda a big dog in a little body as she loves getting out for walks and trail runs just as my as my shepherd did. I’m currently only employed part time and work from home. So flexible hours and looking for extra reasons to get out of the house and active this summer. Unfortunately my home does not have a fenced in yard but there are walking trails nearby and a fenced in dog park close by. My pup is friendly with other dogs. I’m available to take care of your furball in your home if that is better for you.
“Claire was wonderful with our dogs! She is incredibly gentle, kind, and patient, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. She listened carefully to all of our instructions and followed them exactly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable with her, and we came home to very content pups. Communication was great, and we felt confident knowing they were in good hands. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked several more stays with her. We would absolutely recommend Claire to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter and will definitely be hiring her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Emma was great with Flounder. She was proactive with communication, clear with updates, and genuinely attentive to him. Flounder looked relaxed and happy when we got back, which says everything. I’d absolutely book her again!”

About: I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I treat every dog with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I have experience caring for dogs of various ages and breeds, as well as multi-dog households in a variety of settings. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and at ease. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my schedule is built around providing dependable, attentive care for the pets and families I work with. I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide care exclusively within my clients’ homes, as I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. Throughout all services, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal schedule while providing companionship, exercise, structure, and attentive care. I respect each client’s home as if it were my own and value cleanliness, security, and clear communication. I also provide regular updates and photos for added peace of mind and carefully follow all care requests.
“Kim did an outstanding job pet and housesitting for us this last week. We came home to a house that was just as we left it and a calm, happy dog. It was clear that our Stella was well cared for and that she was kept on her daily routine. We will definitely rebook with Kim.”

“Christina stayed overnight with our two large dogs, one of which has many medical issues, and took incredible care of them! They made sure the pups went out, had their meds on time, and left the house in fantastic condition. Would highly recommend!”

“This is the second time we've had Erica stay with our 3 cats while we've been away. Once again she did a fabulous job caring for them. She sent several pictures throughout the stay which helped us know that they were thriving and comfortable in her care. Upon departure, she left our house clean and tidy. Thank you Erica! We will definitely book you again.”

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!

About: I’ve been working with animals, specifically dogs, for about 5 years now! I have been a helpful hand for my neighbors, friends, and family whenever they need pet/house sitters while out of town! I’m currently working 4-5 full days a week, but am able to check on your pets during my lunch break! After work, I have lots of time for play time and to make sure everything is going smoothly! I will ensure your pets are safe, comfortable, and feel like they have a buddy while their family is away! I do not personally have any pets, so your furry friends would not have to worry about meeting other animals!
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 .
“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!”

“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.”
