“James was very comfortable with our dog and our dog was comfortable with him. He gave him lots of attention and exercise. James is also very nice, flexible and accommodating especially since we had a last minute request. I very much appreciated his help!”
“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”
“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! 🙂”
“Carissa was absolutely great! She was on time, communicated and responded quickly, and left the house in immaculate shape. Her love of dogs was obvious and our dog was content and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Carissa and would happily use her services again.”
“You know that feeling of dread you get when you leave your fuzzy critters behind when on vacation? Well I only had it for a short bit of time as Lorretta contacted me and sent me pictures barely before I even left on the plane to let me know they were all ok. Yes I missed them all very much but I felt at ease knowing they were in her care! Pick Lorretta you shan’t regret it! 🤗”
“Erin was great with our German Shepherd Tug and Jo Jo our Min Pin. Always made sure they had exercise. Played fetch with Tug in our Creek. Always let us know how the day went, sent pictures and videos. Erin also was house sitting, the house was spotless when we got home. Thank you Erin for taking care of our fur babies and home. Paulette and Pat 🐾🐾”
“Brandon was awesome with our dog Charr! He was so bummed after Brandon left. Our dog was on rest so really couldn't do much outside of going outside for the bathroom. He's an energetic pup though so needed stimulation indoors without too much exertion. Brandon played with Charr and did some training exercises as well. I would definitely use Brandon 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 can’t say enough good things about Katherine’s stay with our Bode. She is amazing. Loved the daily updates and she is so sweet and very responsive and communicative. Bode loves her and misses her already.”
“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of Humphrey and the house. Our big baby got lots of cuddles and attention and we felt great knowing he was being taken care of. We'd definitely use, and do plan to book with Chloe again next time we need a sitter!”

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.
“Andrew was excellent! It was our first time using a dog sitter in our home and I could not have been more at ease. We were away for an entire week and Andrew spent so much time with them doing all of the things they love. He took them to the beach every day and kept us informed with pictures and texts letting us know how much fun they were having. I highly recommend him!”
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.
“Amber is amazing. She was very attentive to my golden retriever, was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates and left house neat and tidy. Certainly hope she is available the next time a dog sitter is needed.”
About: I’ve been dog walking, pet sitting and doing home check ins for friends family and coworkers since I was 10. Love getting out in nature on long walks or checking in on your pets if you have to be away all day! My 3-4 day work week allows me free time on Monday- Wednesdays for walks and check ins. I’m available most mornings! Occasionally available for house sitting or boarding. I have a large, tidy house where your dogs will be able to roam worry free. I live on a quiet street surrounded by woods and a park nearby, perfect for long walks and lots of trees to sniff without having to worry about street traffic.
