“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“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 did awesome looking after our kitty! We came home to a very happy girl. Mia was also super flexible and accommodating around the fact that we were a bit disorganized. Thank you Mia!”
“Julia provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were out of town. She is very knowledgeable and responsive to their needs, both dogs being reactive on leash and Jac being blind and needing daily medication. We would recommend Julia and will be booking her services again!”
“So so so glad that we can rely on Kristine over and over again to care for our pets whenever we ask. No one makes it so easy and stress free as Kristine. Thanks for always being so great to my family and for all the times you’ve gone above and beyond for us!”
“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!”
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 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 and key pickups 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.
“Hayden was wonderful with my cocker, tending to her feeding schedule and providing cuddles. Nola seemed to really respond to Hayden and she did an excellent job.”
“I did enjoy Randi services. Based on her observation, I will definitely check with the vets regarding Audi eating grass. Overall, she is good in taking care of our dog and not only that she kept the dog place clean.”
“Emily's cat-sitting services exceeded my expectations. At the meet and greet she asked for vet info in case of an emergency and asked about my cat's health so she could monitor for any issues. She was extremely warm, kind, and compassionate. She deeply cared for my cat and texted while she was here to let me know how the check-in was going and ask questions. We are thrilled to recommend Emily to others and looking forward to having her as our long-term sitter. Thank you Emily for your impeccable service and care!”
“Bailey was so sweet with my old man poppers and his crazy anxiety ridden cat sister! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting. She's very knowledgeable and is very good at keeping in communication about your pets!”
“I was floored by how attentive and engaged Jessica was with our two elderly kitties. She took extra time to earn their trust, and after a week in her care they were utterly devoted. One of the two particularly suffers when I’m absent for extended periods, and she took extra care with him. Her daily updates were informative and gave me clear indication of whether she was concerned/ not concerned for the small issues that cropped up (furballs and etc). She has my highest recommendation!”
“Monique was wonderful with our senior cat; administered medicine & provided daily updates. She’s knowledgeable & gave me a great suggestion about her diet as she had become finicky. I hope to book Monique on a regular basis. Thank you Monique!”
“Excellent! Trinity was very caring and I am impressed with her level of understanding, responsibility and compassion. She allowed me to enjoy my trip plus my cat loved her attention.”
“Ariana took good care of my baby while I was away. She sent photos and updates often and went above and beyond with helping bring in packages and getting the mail for me. I would recommend her to others!”

Kelsie was willing to work with my busy, stubborn Aussie last-minute and even came for a meet-and-greet to make sure they’d get along. He loved her instantly! I can’t express how grateful I am to have someone I trust with my dog. I’d recommend her to anyone!
Karina did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our cat, Louie, and we genuinely could not have asked for a better experience. She sent so many photos and updates throughout the stay - and not just random photos, but genuinely great ones that made us feel so connected while we were away. You could tell she really paid attention to Louie and his personality. Her notes were incredibly detailed and thoughtful, and she always included the exact kind of updates we cared about most. On top of that, her messages were hilarious and comforting, which made being away from Louie so much easier because we knew he was in good hands and being genuinely cared for. We also came home to little things that completely exceeded expectations - she swept up all the cat litter that had gotten everywhere, washed dishes, and left everything looking great even though we never asked her to do any of that. It was just such thoughtful, above-and-beyond care. Overall, truly awesome service and we would absolutely book Karina again. Highly, highly recommend!
Mia was absolutely amazing! It’s so hard to find someone comfortable and trustworthy enough to watch a turtle, but she went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my tortoise was in such good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared a lot about making sure everything was done right. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter
morgan was amazing! they took great care of my two cats while i was out of town. they were respectul of my home and kept it clean. my cats were well loved and fed, and the pictures they took were very helpful. i will rebook with morgan if i need this service again!
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
