“Erin was great. She communicated well throughout the entire stay, sent photos, and made sure we knew that Nox was okay. Nox also got to interact with other pets which seems to have done wonders: He’s back home and super chill. We’re so thankful for the time he spent time at Erin’s!”

“Heather and her family were fabulous. She took great care of my newest member of our family. Kita slept like a baby when she got home, which says fresh air and fun was had by all. She gave our girl her new nickname "the Queen of the couch", love it!! Thanks!!!”

“Emily took great care with our dog Amigo. He was very happy there and you can tell she has a great knowledge about dogs. Would definitely take him back for another stay.”

Robin S.

“Emily and her family are super amazing. My dogs were there for a couple of hours to see if it would work out for a longer stay. When we got back my dogs were super relaxed and seemed to have enjoyed their time. We will definitely return to their happy friendly home.”

“Our dog had a delightful time with Kortni and her family. Her enthusiasm to take care of Brinkley was evident and he had a wonderful play day.”

“While visiting the PNW we found ourselves in need of a sitter. Kari took great care of our Miniature Schnauzer. When we picked her up we were greeted with a wagging butt and a very tired dog…..Kari kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and text on how our dog was doing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If we ever find ourselves this way again we will for sure use her again. Herself and her two dogs come highly recommended by us!”

“Julie was so friendly and welcoming. She even let us come for a meet and greet so my dog could get to know her before being left with her for a couple of days. I love that she took our dog for walks each day she was there.”

Amber S.

“We left our goldendoodle pup with her for a few days while we were out of town and she did so well with him! He loved playing with her pup all day and Trinity made sure to keep me informed of how he was doing :) 100% recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds—from Golden Retrievers and Great Dane mixes to Australian Shepherds. Over the past few years, I cared for our senior Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who had special needs and required a detailed medication routine. Supporting her through that stage of her life taught me a great deal about patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. Now that she has passed, I’d love to continue sharing that care with other dogs while their families are away. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, giving them attention, companionship, and the comfort they deserve. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day and can provide consistent care and supervision whenever it’s needed. Because I work from home and am self-employed, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for attentive, consistent care. I’m able to plan my work around the needs of the dogs I’m caring for, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I truly enjoy having them around while I work—it makes the day better for both of us. This flexibility allows me to provide reliable, all-day care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well loved while their family is away. I have a large, fully fenced backyard that provides plenty of safe space for dogs to run, play, and explore. We’re located in a quiet, semi-rural neighborhood that offers a calm and relaxed environment, away from heavy traffic and city noise. The area also has many nearby trails and walking paths, which are perfect for daily walks, fresh air, and little adventures depending on each dog’s energy level. It’s a great setting for dogs to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and feel comfortable while they’re away from home.

“Alison was great! Our 5 month pup enjoyed his stay. He was very well cared of. She sent us updates and pictures throughout his stay. This made us feel at ease since it was our first time being away from him. Thank you Alison!”

“This was the first time we had to leave our 13year old Shih Tzu with anyone other than family and Annie was amazing with her.”

About: I currently do not have any pets so I would love to care for yours! I grew up with all types of animals but dogs by far have my ❤️ I work from home often and I have lots of time and energy for walks and playing. I'm either at home or out for a walk ao your pup will always be with me. My home will be entirely available to your pup and we will play in the yard and go for walks along the dike and at the lake.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life—caring for them isn’t just second nature, it’s something I truly love. I grew up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve spent years helping out neighbors by watching their pets while they were away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being a calm and comforting presence, I bring attentiveness and compassion to every pet I care for. Recently, my husband and I welcomed a rescue dog, Grim, into our family through Oregon Dog Rescue. He is the goofiest, sweetest boy and has been an incredible addition to our home. Grim gets along exceptionally well with other dogs and people, and we have never once had an incident with him. He is well-behaved, trained, and truly enjoys the company of other pets. Having a dog who is so gentle, social, and adaptable allows me to confidently provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment for any pets in my care. What sets me apart is my deep emotional connection to animals, my reliability, and my ability to pick up on each pet’s unique needs. I don’t just watch your pet—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I am currently going to school full time at WSU completely online. Other than that, I am not working right now so this gives me the opportunity to have a lot of free time! I can complete my school work from anywhere with my laptop. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and creating a safe, loving space for them is something I take seriously. I live on 10 acres of private property, giving your dog plenty of room to explore in a peaceful, secure environment. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I care for each dog as if they were my own—offering calm companionship, routine, and individualized attention. I can easily accommodate crate-trained pups or provide a cozy space for rest, and I always follow your preferences to ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

“My dog had a wonderful time with Raegan! Lots of snacks and lots of love :) Raegan sent me photos throughout the week along with updates on how my little girl was doing ?”

“Rosie provided amazing care for my 2 dogs who had so much fun with her amazing 2 dogs. I was able to go out on a fishing boat with my family and picked up my dogs after who were happy and tired. She responded to my request which was last minute and let me bring my dogs over beforehand so I could introduce them one at a time and make sure everyone got along. Thank you so much Rosie!”
