“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”

“Mia was very sweet and kind with our babies! And she was very attentive to their needs as well as loving on them, which is so reassuring while leaving them! She followed instructions perfectly and kept us in the loop with great communication”


“We are repeat customers of Kristine which says a lot. Pippa was well cared for and comfortable. Kristine was flexible as our needs changed. We will be calling her again. Thank you!”

“Hayden was amazing! She met with us before the visit to get to know our pets and what we were looking for. She sent pictures to show that everything was OK, and our very shy cat started to come out of her shell towards the end (which is very rare and I was so surprised!).”

“Julia is amazing! I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my dog and cats. She sent me updates and pictures on every visit and I definitely appreciated that. She is the best and I strongly recommend her! ❤️”

About: Dedicated, trustworthy, and pet-focused. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. Attentive to each pet’s unique personality and requirements, ensuring they stay happy, safe, and comfortable. I prioritize walking, playing, snuggling, and making sure every pet gets the exercise, love, and tail wags they need! Thanks to some amazing clients and their pets, my calendar is pretty full right now. I’m currently booking ahead for spring and summer, so feel free to reach out. Early planning is always welcome! Your home is your safe space, and I will always treat it with the respect it deserves. I am there to care for your pet and meet all of their needs, ensuring they stay happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, starting my journey at just 12 years old, walking dogs and pet sitting for neighbors. Over the years, my passion for animals grew into a profession, and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant. From managing health issues and ensuring proper exercise to offering endless love and attention, I provide care that goes above and beyond basic sitting. I have in-depth experience with administering medications, senior care, and specialized needs for puppies and kittens. As a passionate dog trainer, I’ve also successfully trained my own pup since he was just 4 months old, making him the well-behaved boy he is today. I'm currently working part-time at a veterinary clinic on Mondays and Thursdays (7:30 am - 6:30 pm), while completing my Bachelor's degree at Lane Community College. Because I am mostly online for school, other than Tuesday nights (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm), my schedule is flexible for you and your pets! I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pickup times, but please try to stick to the agreed-upon schedule, as changes may require rescheduling based on my availability that day. For recurring bookings, I do my best to maintain a consistent schedule. Occasionally, a day or time may need to be adjusted—especially during holiday months—and I’ll always provide advance notice whenever possible. For house sitting, I am not able to provide 24/7 constant care. I balance my own pets, family, work, school, loyal clients, and other commitments, so I focus on providing high-quality care during the times I’m available. Reasonable time limits for when I’m away can be arranged to ensure your pet’s routine and comfort are maintained. To keep my calendar updated and ensure I can continue receiving booking requests, please note: if you are requesting a sitting within one week, you’ll have 24 hours to respond before I archive the request. For bookings more than a week away, you’ll have 48 hours to respond before the request is archived. In my care, I strive to create a comfortable, stress-free environment for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours. MEET & GREET: -During the initial meet & greet for boarding and doggy day care, you’re welcome inside my home to see where your pet(s) will be staying. After that, drop-offs and pickups happen from the car. This makes it easier and safer for me to introduce your pet(s) to my dog again, since pets often behave differently when their owner isn’t nearby. -The first meet & greet is complimentary. I require additional requested meet & greets to be booked as drop-ins. -To keep things on schedule, meet & greets are 30 minutes. IN YOUR HOME: -I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I monitor their health and behavior, give plenty of affection, and respect your space by keeping it clean and secure. IN MY HOME: -I provide a cozy, pet-friendly setting with structure, supervision, and love. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they’re cared for with the same level of love and expertise. I have a well-behaved, friendly 15lb rescue pup that would love to be your pet's next best friend. -For the first night, I usually have pups sleep in a kennel. From experience, pets can behave differently in a new environment, and kenneling provides a controlled and safe space to help them adjust. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s needs to ensure a comfortable and stress-free stay. Overall, my goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure in any environment, while providing the expert care they need.
About: While my specialty and preference is cats, I'm happy to provide care for your dog(s) too. I've had dogs in my life previously, and can care for well socialized, good natured dogs who live with cats that I am caring for. I can walk them, feed them, play with them, do poop-scooping duties, give potty breaks, etc. I work minimal, flexible hours from home, so I can likely meet your pet(s) care needs as requested. Can work mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I have cared for indoor only kitties, indoor/outdoor kitties, and for barn or more feral types of kitties. Will meet them where they are, and follow your instructions closely.
“Best cat sitter ever! Miles took care of our two boys and we could not be more pleased with the whole experience. The cats were very well cared for, and even the grumpy one liked him! That says it all. We will look for Miles every time we need a sitter. Perfect!”

“Karina was great! I received updates and pictures while I was away. She took such great care of my boys and they enjoyed their time with her. Will definitely book again ☺️”

“It was a quick and simple visit, but Caitlin went above and beyond to take care of my kitties. She spent time with them and even sent me pictures of them eating their food. Top notch sitter!”

“Asher was so great to work with. Key highlights include her communication, her report cards of each visit, cute photos she captured of Louie, and her kindness & flexibility. I will definitely use her cat sitting services again!”

“This was my first time having Zephyrus help me out, and they did a wonderful job! They cleaned my puppers paws from our muddy yard and made sure her bowl was filled before they left. I would definitely ask for a drop-in visit from them again! Thanks, Zephyrus!”


“Amy was amazing with our senior dog! She was so gentle, patient, and understanding. As a professional, Amy excels as well. She stayed in communication with us, took pictures or video, and was always on time. Our dog has some special needs and medications, and Amy made sure that everything was done just right. Amy is a joy to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Mia was responsive and took great care of my kitty while I was out of town for several weeks! My kitty is shy, but I could tell that Mia made an effort to interact with her. She even helped me out with leaving a key out so that something could be done in my apartment. I would definitely recommend Mia to other cat owners!
Nicole did great! She helped us out by being available last minute - after our original pet care fell through. Tim (our yellow lab) really seemed to love and have fun with her :) She was great at communicating and reaching out when she had questions. I loved all the pictures she sent. Would book again!

Did such a wonderful job taking care of our kitties. Photos and a message each time she dropped in were so helpful and reassuring. We will be using Phoebe again when we go out of town, it’s a weight lifted off our shoulders when you know your fur babies are taken care of. Thank you

Ashley did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while we were gone for 10 days. She went above and beyond caring for them. On a super hot day she left extra water bowls out for them, and also thoughtfully took my garbage out that was starting to smell from too many kitty wet food cans. I looked forward to her picture updates each day and she always communicated when something was needed to be shared. Her care and attention to detail was top notch. I highly recommend Ashley and would book again. Thank you Ashley!

Super glad Mia watched our cats. In fact (because we temporarily foster) we had 10 cats to take care of at one time! Not an easy feat when 5 of them are kittens. Not only did she stay on top of waters and six litter boxes, she also managed time for play with our little critters. It’s never easy leaving our crew… Especially for 8 long days. But Mia was on time for every visit, and did the extras like taking in mail and doing the extra clean up that comes with so many cats. (Pet owners know what I’m talking about) When we finally got home, everything was orderly and clean. A fact one greatly appreciates after a long trip. Many thanks and we will not hesitate to use Mia’s services again.
