As lifelong pet lovers, we understand how much your pets mean to you, and we treat them as if they were our own. With two of us on the job, you can count on extra attentive care and plenty of tail wags and purrs. Let us give you peace of mind while you're away—your pets are in great hands with us! We look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! We know and I'll make it work and flip things around if necessary. We'll just need details of it in advance. Short notice might be tricky. We will be respectful of your home and pet, ensuring they're most comfortable at home and at ease with us. Making sure they're comfortable before engaging.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and my grandma used to train guide dogs for the blind so I have a lot of experience with dogs. I am a student at WOU and I work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out, walk and play with your dog or cat. I don’t have any pets of my own but I love taking dogs on walks or running around and playing with them in the fields around my apartment.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. Whether it was my own while my parents were gone or friends and neighbors as I got older. I have cared for both really active dogs that need to run all the time and older slower pets that need a lot of attention to details. I am currently a student at Western Oregon University enjoying my summer break back home. So I am available any time as I can create my own schedule. I can’t keep pets here but I am willing and able to do anything needed whether it is crating or making sure they are properly leashed if need be. I can also just watch as they run around!

About: I've taken care of a variety of animals including chickens, dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I also have two fur babies of my own who love when we go on walks together. ❤️ I see animals as part of the family not just pets in a home. I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire and can't imagine life without animals in it. ❤️ When I'm with your animal I do my best to give them the love and attention that you would also give them while you're home with them. And stitch to their Dailey schedule as best as I can. I work around my work schedule and lifestyle to provide the best care I can for the animals in your home. ❤️ My price may go up by $5 to $10 depending on the responsibilities am given and if there's more than just dog(s) and/or cats involved while I provide the best care for your animals that I can give according to the needs of your pets. 🙂 When I'm with your animal I do my best to give them the love and attention that you would also give them while you're home with them. And stitch to their Dailey schedule as best as I can. 🙂 I work around my work schedule and lifestyle to provide the best care I can for the animals in your home. ❤️ If you want me to stay in your home then I'm able to do so due to not having the space for more animals to stay in my current home. 🙂 I am also open to meet and greets with you and your animals to make sure that we're a good fit! 🙂 While I'm staying with your pets who are also part of your family. ❤️ I do my best to work around my work schedule and lifestyle to stitch to your animals daily schedule as accurate as I'm able to provide. Their health and safety is a top priority for me. If they have a certain breakfast and dinner time then I'll do my best to keep it the same or at least as close as possible depending on my work schedule. 🙂 I like to also keep you updated on your pets while they're in my care so you know they're safe and happy as I'm taking care of them. ❤️

“Our cat was very happy to receive visits from Paige while we were on vacation. She was great with communication, sent us pictures each day, and most importantly, gave Dez the attention and care that he needs. We will be using her again for our next trip!”

“I highly recommend Tiffany, she was great with our 3 dogs and cat. She was able to stop by twice a day while we were out of town for a week and sent daily updates. It was our first long trip without our dogs so it was so nice having someone that we could trust take care of them for us.”

About: I have been involved with animals my entire life, my dad is a veterinarian, and I worked as a vet tech for over eight years. I’ve also volunteered at rehab rehabilitation centers.

About: I’ve been housesitting for several years for various people, with various animals, from as small as fish, and hamsters, to large farms with horses, pigs, chickens and way more! I find most my peace relaxing with animals I currently work in person 3 days a week, and will find time to consistently be at home with the animals. I am very good with time management, and having a balance with work, personal responsibility, and responsibility taking care of animals and helping people out. I follow instructions and advice given to me. I care for animals as if they were my own. I love being able to help others out with their furry babies and light house work tasks.

About: Suz and Brian have both been lifelong pet parents. Suz worked for a pet hospital for years and almost all of our pets over the last 20 years have been special needs rescue babies.(diabetic, blind, deaf, liver shunt, dementia, cancer, etc) This means we are well versed in special needs care for your special needs kiddos. Pills, SubQ injections, SubQ fluids, bandage changes, glucose testing, Suz works remotely from home, available to your pet as needed through the day for loves, medicine, etc. Brian currently works out of the home but will be retiring soon and will then be 100% dedicated to caring for the pets of our clients! We are available for meet and greet, home checks, and drop off/pick up almost any time day or night and will work with you to schedule what is best for you and your pet(s). Ensuring you are comfortable with who is caring for your pet(s) is second only to your pet(s) safety and well being in our care! Cat boarding: since we have a cat of our own and we know other cats may not be ooen to meeting her (she is ok with others.. mostly ignores them) we have a dedicated cat boarding room where she cannot go near them. Our yard has no grass (rock and astroturf) so no nasty ticks riding our coattails into the home to come in contact with your kitty. Brian is available for drop in care or overnight boarding in your home for dogs and/or cats. This is what we prefer for our own pets when we are away, maintaining their routines etc as best as possible, so want to be sure you have this option too! All of our personal pets are fully vaccinated and receive regular flea treatment.

“We were nervous about leaving out cats with someone we didn't know, but throughout every step of the process, Olivia was courteous, friendly, and explained the process. She cared very well for our cats and we will definitely use her again!”

About: Very experienced, patient, compassionate and fun pet parent here. I started my journey with animals by raising Guide Dog puppies for the blind at 13 and my passion only grew from there. I worked at different dog kennels throughout my young adult life and after taking a break to raise my own children, I worked as the primary in a non profit dog rescue in Oregon for several years. We have recently relocated to Oklahoma and look forward to making new friends and connections here as well! I currently work part time and have 2 children and poodles at home so I do not currently take overnight pet guests. However, I have plenty of time to stop by and take your fur baby for a walk or do check ins when you are away. I am honest and trustworthy as well as reliable. I am careful, thorough, and detail oriented. I also have excellent communication skills and will keep you updated every step of the way.

About: Hi! I’m Allyse I’m a responsible, animal-loving sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m naturally calm, organized, and attentive to details — which means your pup gets consistent routines, timely meals, walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I’m great at following instructions and happy to stick closely to your dog’s normal schedule, whether that includes medications, special feeding needs, or just extra cuddle time. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize safety, clear communication, and peace of mind for pet parents. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. Whether you’re looking for short-term care or a regular sitter, I’d love to help care for your furry family member! I work from home so I am available all day. If I need to step out your dog will only be left alone for two hours max. I have a fully fenced in yard. Plenty of room to run and play! We live in a house so there is also room inside where the dogs can play as well.

About: I've had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to small mammals, reptiles, and birds. Growing up in a miniature menagerie taught me responsibility and how to properly care for animals and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Reading animal behavior and connecting with each pet's personality is second nature to me. Whether it's maintaining your pet's familiar routine, providing engaging playtime, or offering companionship, I prioritize making your pets feel secure and loved in your absence. I structure my daily and weekly routine around pet care, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention. Each day, I set aside time for feeding, cleaning up after them, and making sure they have companionship. Weekly, I restock supplies and adjust my schedule as needed to meet their needs. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and personality, letting them set the pace for interactions. When entering a space, I allow the pet to approach me first and get down to their eye level to establish trust. I respect a cat’s independence and let them engage on their terms. When walking dogs, I exercise patience, allowing them to sniff and explore at their own pace, as I’ve learned this helps build trust and confidence. My approach ensures that every pet feels safe, respected, and cared for.

About: I have a lot of love for animals. I am interested in dog walking or taking care of dogs/cats when you just need a little vacation to yourself or a busy day ahead! I have two years of experience with dog sitting. I have taken dogs on walks, stayed over night at the owner's home, fed them, play with them, and clean up after them when they have accidents. I have also taken dogs to vet appointments. I am not afraid of any type of dogs. They have this effect on me that makes me fall in love with them or feel better when I'm feeling down. I’m currently off of my main job as a special needs aide at a middle school as it is summer time! I have a lot of free time right now. I always want pets to feel safe and secure when they’re with me. I like using a soft voice with dogs, unless told to be more stern by the owners. I have experience with dogs that have been abused and are more timid, I usually sit on the floor with them until they trust me enough to come up to me.

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, fish, and turtles for years! I have a cat of my own, and my family has always had multiple dogs I care for. I love all animals! I personally take care of my pet every day with ensuring her food and waste is maintained, so these routines are familiar to me. I have lived with dogs my entire life, with and without fences, so I have walked dogs of all sizes and in all weather. I have experience with crate trained dogs, outside cats, outside dogs, picky eaters, weak bladders, elderly animals, puppies, kittens, and more! I care for elderly animals currently along with a kitten. Cleaning up accidents is no issue for me!

“Brandy responded quickly with concerns. Brandy let me know when she was there caring for my cat, Harvey and when she left. However, upon returning home the litter box had not been cleaned for a few days and the larger water bowl was a bit dirty. My other cat, Amelia passed away naturally before Brandy was scheduled to attend to her needs. I appreciate she attempted to get a reduce rate since she was only caring for one cat, Harvey. I have to say her work was good. It was comforting knowing my one cat was being taken care of since my other cat died just prior to her scheduled time. Also, Harvey is hard to spend time with since he is extremely shy. I did appreciate the pictures taken.”
