2. Kate D.
“Kate was absolutely wonderful! My cat Frannie adored her and we felt so comfortable going out of town knowing that Kate was there to drop in on Frannie. I highly recommend Kate and can't wait to have her take care of Frannie again!”

“We appreciated Kelly’s prompt communications, her obvious love and care for Sadie, and her willingness to be be flexible. If we are ever in Corvallis again, would definitely call Kelly. She gets our top rating! Thanks Kelly!”
7. Veronica M.
“Veronica was wonderful! She was very good/quick at communicating, interacted really well with our dog when they met, and was very thoughtful/intentional about how she and our dog spent their time together (eg doing things to encourage our dog to spend time outside since she was spending so much time cooped up inside between sitter visits). We would definitely work with Veronica again and recommend her to others!”

9. Muriel R.
About: Growing up I have lived with rabbits, lizards, hamsters, and birds. I have also pet sit lots of dog, cats, and other animals. I have particular experience caring for my severely traumatized rescue puppy (he is in another room when other animals are here). I am a parttime student at Oregon State University. I have occasional classes but my schedule is otherwise totally open. On top of that, my boyfriend (who I live with) is also very available to help take care of dogs. I care for each animal according to their individual needs. This is something I know is particularly important, having trained and nursed my rescue puppy after he got severe brain damage from a car crash. Each animal needs it's own care to very different degrees, and this is something I will always put first. I'm more than happy to accommodate any requests at your home or mine.
10. Ashley S.
“So helpful and communicative!”
11. Miriam R.
About: I bond easily with cats and dogs. I am gentle, patient and give 100% to all the fur babies in my care. I enjoy entertaining and caring for these special critters. While with me, I am observant and provide the kind of interaction the pet wants. This could be anything from a massage to hiking and play at a beach with a variety of toys. I always want your pet to feel warm and welcome. I believe walking is the best medicine, so I’m game to go out no matter the weather. I don’t feed people food to them but am happy to give appropriate treats and lots of praise. I have been taking care dogs for 15 years. Dogs are considered my family bond
12. Emma B.
“Emma has been a great find for us! She gave our big mastiff lots of time to get used to her, and even did a meet and greet and trial visits to get our dog extra comfortable. We're so glad to add her to Holly's short list of people she is comfortable with, and will definitely book again!”
13. Danielle P.
“Danielle did a fantastic job caring for petunia while I was away! He ended up having a bit of separation anxiety but she was patient and worked with me to ensure that he would be as comfortable as possible during my trip. I would absolutely book with her again in the future!”
14. Sydney S.
“We couldn't be more pleased with our regular dog sitter, Sydney, she has a calm and soothing way with dogs that is truly exceptional. One of our dogs is quite reactive, and Sydney handles our pup with remarkable patience and understanding. She makes both our dogs feel safe and loved, which gives us peace of mind every time we have to be away. It's clear that she genuinely cares about their well-being, and her expertise and calm demeanor have been invaluable. We highly recommend Sydney as to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”
15. Victoria W.
“Another amazing time with Daisy. I hurt my back and needed Victoria last minute to walk Daisy. Victoria was immediately responsive and made my recover better by walking Daisy. Daisy is in love with her and goes nuts when she sees her coming. I trust her 100%. Thank you”
16. Alexandra B.
“Did a great job, came by to meet Bailey who was pretty shy at first. Everything seems to have gone well and according to all the pictures we received Bailey was having a lot of fun with the attention.”
17. Ember W.
“Ember took such good care of my cat while I was out of town. She let me know how things went and took photos for each visit. I have booked Ember multiple times and can recommend her!”
18. Zèva T.
“Zeva was punctual, kind and communicative when visiting my cat. I would definitely book with her again!”
19. Kendallynn B.
“We have very much enjoyed having Kendallynn as our dog sitter. I met Kendallynn at a veterinary emergency hospital where she was a nurse and I am a veterinarian. I have know her for at least 3-4 years. She has been dog sitting for us on and off for the last 2 years. She is dependable, compassionate with the dogs, and clean in the house. She can also give medications to the pets if they require them. I have great trust in her and would strongly recommend her to any potential customers.”
20. Jam V.
“What to say about Jam? For starters, I have never met a more dedicated, loving and kind soul to any person, animal or object that she comes across. In the short amount of time that she has walked my pups, she has quickly grown to become their favorite person. I’ve never seen them get more excited when anyone else is around then when she comes by. She has the most loving touch and listens well to the animal and their needs. She is so attentive and will take of any sort of situation whenever one may occur. She took my two pups on all sorts of adventures throughout the local park, trails, downtown, you name it! I have received countless compliments on the behavior of my dogs (two huskies!) from people who know they are mine and have seen her walking them. She grooms them when she feels it is needed when they are out and they always come home ready to nap. That’s when you know the service is great!! I would never change dog sitters even if she moved. I have had the most wonderful experience and I would proudly suggest Jam to any and everyone who is looking for someone to treat your babies like their own and to always put them first. She is a natural animal lover and it is evident in the way she interacts with them. I can’t say enough about Jam and the business she has done. She is truly another member of our family.”
