Attentive + Outdoorsy Dog Parents

Pet care experience

My husband, daughter and I live in Durham with Sadie, our 8-year old pup. While home from our non-profit jobs, we can be found exploring Durham's trails and parks. Sadie is an important member of our family and we love getting to see our city through her eyes. Sadie would describe us as fun, attentive, outdoorsy and snuggly. We have 15+ years of experience taking care of animals, both ours and friend’s pets. We took some time off from pet sitting during our daughter's littlest years, but are excited to get back to it!

Austin was amazing when watching my Captain. Lot's of pictures with every update. I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands after meeting before booking. Austin had stayed with Captain while I was out of town. Came back to a happy dog and a clean gome. Definitely will be booking them for the next time I need a dog sitter!

Katie & Austin took great care of my cat and sent pictures as requested. They followed Oregon’s mask mandate and cleaned surfaces they touched.

Not the first time Katie and Austin have cared for my cat. They were wonderful, again! I returned from out of town to a content cat and clean home. Would recommend.

Came home to a clean home and happy animals. Attentive to my older dog's needs and communicated well throughout stay.
