“Once again Colleen has provided exceptional care for my cat Charlie. Daily updates, and multiple photos! I highly recommend Colleen to care for your loved pets!!!!!!”

“I live on a boat and Rover was the best app to find someone to take care of my dog and cat while I needed to go out of town for a few days. I met Renee and Keith and the entire time I was away out of town, I never worried. I received photos and could tell my pets were safe and fine and received extra love while I was gone. If you choose Renee and Keith, your pets will be just fine while you’re away and can feel secure they will be fine and just enjoy your vacation with no worries.”

“Bethany was fantastic! My cat and I recently made a cross-country move and leaving her alone in a new place for a week made me so anxious (probably more anxious than the cat was). Bethany made sure Mimi had everything she needed and sent me daily updates. 💜”


“We have used Kaylee a few times and she is always great with the cats. We can leave on vacation and know that we do bit have to worry about them. She sends pictures too.”

“Denise was amazing! Super communicative and easy to work with. I'm so happy we found her. Our babies were well taken care of and barely noticed we were gone. We'll definitely use Denise again!”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a child and recently turned it into my career. I love pets of all types and temperaments and have experience, not just watching dogs, but also cats, rabbits, hamsters, and even reptiles. As a pharmacy technician I am well versed in prescriptions and can mange your pets meds and administer any oral medication they may need. Whether they are free roam or crated I can provide them with care, treats, exercise, and companionship while you are away. I recently left my retail pharmacy job to work part time from home, so I am dedicated to taking care of your pets with a very flexible schedule. I treat every pet and home with the respect I give my own. I always clean up after myself and any messes the pets make in my care. I offer meet & greets for overnight stays to make sure your pets and I are the right fit and dicuss the best way to be in your home while you're away.

She was accommodating, and even came out for a meet and greet prior to her drop ins. My camera caught a few clips of her during the drop ins and my kitty LOVED her and felt so comfortable around her!

About: I have a unique ability to connect with dogs. I provide lots of love and patience, along with treats and playtime. I know that any dog in my personal care is a pet parent's child, and I treat any dog just as I would treat my own dog. All dogs deserve nothing but the best care, which is what I provide. When I care for your dog, I am caring for a member of your family. I care for your dog with lots of love. I previously volunteered with animal rescue and I have have cared for dogs at adoption events. I have spent time in shelters with dogs and have transported rescue pulls to their safe destination. I have also conducted multiple home checks for adoptions. Walking dogs and caring for cats brings me joy! I am able to do walks and drop-in visits throughout the day during the week and on weekends. I hope to see you fur baby soon! I maintain the pet's routine and pet parents' expectations for excellence in care and communication. I care for my clients' pets as I would care for my own pets....with love and as priority.

“I was very pleased with the job Dawn did. This was my first time going away in a few years and I also just lost one of my dogs a few weeks ago making harder to leave them. I appreciated the notes and pictures. I have a blind dog and I felt like he was in good hands. I would definitely use Dawn again.”

About: Taking care of animals isn't a chore to me, it's a passion. I really do see the uniqueness in each dog or cat. Growing up I would pet sit for elderly and sick foster dogs with many special needs, it really impressed upon me the need these animals have for care and connection. Im separated from my own fur baby as he lives in Oregon with my parents, but he is special needs. Three times a day he needs eye drops administered to him and before I moved away I was the main administrator of his medications. Im happy to play with your dogs and their favorite toys if you'd like, and glad to spend extra time giving them snuggles and love. I really do love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours. I promise I'll care of your animals as if they were my own. I have class part time so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. Im usually available at 2:00 pm to start care during weekdays but my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer time. Overnights and mornings as needed. Whether I’m caring for my pets in my home or your pets in yours, I treat each animal with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications—while keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and wellbeing. Under my supervision, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comforting space with plenty of affection and engagement. I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable, and thoughtful care so every pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for.

Ursula C.
“Ursula petsat my dog for 2 weeks earlier this summer! The dog in question, Juniper, is very high maintenance but Ursula managed her care well. Ursula was able to follow instructions and make her food weekly, feed her twice a day, give her probiotics on schedule, and walk her early morning and afternoon. Ursula also kept up with her grooming needs and even brushed her teeth! Cannot recommend more!”
