We are still available for morning and evening drop-ins, as well as home stays.

Caring for your pet is our priority.

About Eko & Sarah O.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When we care for your pet in your home, we keep life as normal as possible for them, i.e., sticking to their normal feeding, exercise, play, and sleep schedules. We also give them their space (if they're more introverts) or interact with them lots (if they can't get enough attention).
Information Eko & Sarah O. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your furbaby has any special needs ahead of time (we like to be as prepared as possible before subbing in for a pet parent, which for us includes research about a particular health condition if we're not familiar with it). Tell us about your pet's personality and what kind of activities they like best so we can create an enrichment plan just for them. If there's anything else that you think would be helpful for us know and make your furbaby's experience with us as positive as possible, we'd love to hear this, too.
A typical day
For dogs, we like to take them on different walks each time, give them plenty of time to smell all the interesting smells, and then play with them and their favorite toys! With cats, we also grab their favorite toys and play with them. We also structure in enrichment for cats, such as moving things around a little (and of course putting them back before you return) and creating forts. If either of your pets are into puzzles (or may be interested in trying them), we also like to set up puzzle games for the pets in our care to give them a little extra entertainment. Throughout the day, we'll be saying words of encouragement to your furbabies and giving them lots of cuddles (if they'd rather not be pet, then vibe pets).

Hands-on substitute pet parents
Pet care experience
We have both grown up with and taken care of pets for most of our lives, and are excited to spend time with your pets (furred, feathered, scaled, or otherwise)! As hands-on cat parents ourselves, we treat your pets how we treat ours, which includes: - Lots of cuddles (or vibe cuddles if they're not particularly into being pet - our baby, Chompirras, prefers to just be looked at most of the time lol) - Plenty of activities curated specifically for your pet to keep them entertained (ours love cardboard puzzle boxes, yo-yos, and being given tours of different parts of the house) - Lots of pictures (they just look cute literally all the time - what are we supposed to do, not take a picture?) - Careful preparation of meals. Our cats deserve to have their own personal chefs - Administration of medication, if needed. (We have to give ours oral medications on a regular basis, and have successfully given meds to pill-dodgers in the past) - Monitoring for any suspicious behavior/ailments. We know how good some pets can be very skilled at hiding when they're not feeling well, so we keep an eye out for indicators that they may not be feeling their best - Catering to their little quirks. Does your pet only eat when someone pets them? Sleeps best with a bedtime story? We're not strangers to the many kind of personalities and emotional needs our smaller friends can have. A little bit about both of us: Sarah (she/her) is from Austin, TX and has been professionally pet-sitting since 2016 for many repeat clients. She has cared for the family dogs and her cat, Chompirras, for 13 years. Eko (they/them) is from a small farm in Rutherfordton, NC and has professionally pet-sat with Sarah since 2022. They cared for chickens (egg-chickens, each with a name), lizards (gecko and iguana), cats, and dogs their entire childhood, and two cats, Yue and Zuko, since 2020. As a team, we make sure that all your pet's needs are covered, day-in and day-out. We approach each pet that we have cared for with empathy, friendliness, and meticulousness. While we can never replace a pet parent while you're away on vacation or a work trip, we do our best to make your pet(s) feel as comfortable and secure as possible until you're back home with them.

Reviews
They were awesome! Our dogs were happy, cared for, fed, and we got pictures of their time with Eko and Sarah, and which made us feel calmer about their care while we were out
They did an amazing job with my rambunctious puppy and even survived witching hour. 10/10 recommend! Thank you so much Ekko and Sarah!!
Eko and Sarah are the best!! They always go above and beyond when following instructions and are always kind and gentle with Cleo!
The fact that they even saw my second cat (who hides from truly everyone) demonstrates their kindness and consistency with my animals. They are prompt and communicative, and can handle both my high energy puppy and my timid cats. Truly awesome to have folks I trust who can check in on the pets, would definitely recommend.
