“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”


“Katie was a wonderful sitter for my dog, Suki. We needed a sitter at the very last minute, and she responded quickly and was thorough in learning about my pup's needs. She sent pictures and kept me updated about how things were going. Suki came home tired and happy. Thanks for a great experience, Katie!”

“Paula is friendly and so knowledgeable. Her dogs were great playmates for my dog, so I got a happy, tired out pup when I came for pick up. Paula was flexible with me on drop off and pick up times due to icy roads - I really appreciated her kind demeanor and quick communication.”


“Kind and caring. Our dog bolts right inside like it’s her second home (we try to tell her it’s not). She loves Ron’s dog Emma, which seems to really help with having a companion dog there with ours to keep her company while boarding.”

“As always, John and So took amazing care of my dog Mimi while I was traveling for two weeks. They provide daily photo/ video updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Mimi loves John and So and I always feel great knowing she’s with them.”

“Highly recommended — Reliable and attentive! Our dog Luna received excellent care, plenty of exercise, and thoughtful updates throughout the stay. Luna looked happy each and every day we were away. Thanks Melani for your excellent care!”

“Finley had the absolute BEST time with Manisha and her family. They showered him with love and attention and sent many many pictures and videos to let us know how he was doing. We had complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Manisha!!”

“Mo is a great find! Our dog, Riki, loves boarding with her and her dog. She is very attentive and provides great updates on what is happening - playing, eating, walking (and pooing). I highly recommend and will be using her service into the future.”

“Robert is truly amazing and the whole package! My young Bull dog Roxy is full of energy and very attached to us. Robert took all of our care requests seriously. Special food needs, sleeping arrangements, play needs, daily check ins and lots of exercise were all provided with care. Robert is a dog whisperer and even provided training that I have been unable to do. His service was a true blessing’”

“Abby had the best time at Lajetta'a house! She cannot wait for her next visit! Thank you for all the pictures during her stay so we could see all the fun she was having!”


“Gloria was AMAZING! My pup can take a little bit of time to warm up to people, but right away she loved Gloria’s energy and so did I. Gloria is knowledgeable and confident in her care for animals and does a wonderful job at providing a welcoming and calm space. I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”

“Brittany was an amazing dog sitter. She was amazing with my older dog who is a little anxious and not dog friendly. She made sure he was well taken care of. I would definitely let Ryder stay with Brittany any time!”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”

“We can’t recommend Lorri highly enough! You can tell she truly loves and cares for our dogs as her own, and that provides us such a sense of comfort. She’s the most thoughtful caregiver for them, and her hilarious updates throughout the stay are the absolute best. Consider yourself lucky if your pups get to stay with Lorri!”
“This family took great care of our dog and hamster, I highly recommend. I received pictures throughout our time away and updates on how the animals were doing. I will contact them for our next vacation away from home.”

“Really thankful for Irene taking care of Reggie at last minute notice, Reggie is a handful and she took care of his needs and he had a great time. Would recommend her anytime!”

“Aliina was wonderful I will be a repeat customer! Oliver was in the best hands and had so much fun in her home with her and Teddy. The videos and picture updates were incredible and set my mind at ease seeing how well he was taken care of. When my flight got delayed over 3 hours I felt terrible and Aliina was so very understanding . Incredible service!!”

“Lea was awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better experience for our chocolate lab, Moose. Lea was flexible with dropoff/pickup, super responsive over text, shared pics each day, and provided a nice, comfortable vacation for our 7.5 yr old pup. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Natalie did an awesome job taking care of our cat Nala while we were gone for a few days. We really appreciated her communication throughout each day, and the progress she made connecting with our shy cat. She also left our home neat and tidy, and even watered our plants while we were gone. We look forward to booking her again in the future!”


“I booked Stephanie for a pet sit short notice and my cat needed to be on net new meds. Stephanie was able to help! Such a relief to have a petsitter like her available in my town”
About: I have been dog-sitting consistently since 2016, and it's something I truly love! My budget and schedule doesn't allow me to have a dog right now, but I love getting to care for others when they need someone reliable and trustworthy to help them out! I work part time and have a pretty flexible job, so can work with your schedule and needs. Reach out to me and we'll see if we can work it out! I am very thorough, detail-oriented, and responsible.

“Jenn took care of my 10-year-old Snowshoe Siamese rescue for 5 days. She was communicative, knowledgeable and professional. I look forward to working with Jenn again in the future.”

“Maria is my hero. She really saved the day for me. She took excellent care of George and kept him safe while I was at work. She is professional and put me at ease the minute she walked in the door. I felt I could trust her with my baby almost immediately. She definitely has George’s stamp approval too! He looked happy and cozy when I arrived home. Thank you Maria ! Our pets are like kids and it feels good having someone I can trust to take care of him.”


“We are very happy with house and pet sitting done by Hanna. She kept us well informed and helped make it easy to enjoy our time away from home knowing our home and pet were well cared for.”

“Hayley did such an amazing job with our pup! She made sure to communicate with us about whatever we needed and treated our boy with the best care! All of the pictures she sent showed him looking so happy and it gave us peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again :)”


“Katie was amazing! She was always timely and sent thoughtful photos and updates of our kitty. He’s really shy, so the fact that he bonded so much with Katie says so much about her. Highly recommend and will be using her every time we go out of town!”


About: I’ve owned cats since I was little and have 4 years of hands-on experience volunteering 4 days a week at the Southern Oregon Humane Society, caring for both cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with cats of all ages and temperaments, including shy, senior, and high-energy cats. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over six years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, chickens, geckos, lizards, and other small animals. My strongest experience is with horses, but I genuinely love caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve pet sat and house sat for friends, family, and others, caring for both dogs and cats while making sure they stay comfortable and stick to their normal routines. Although I’ve never personally owned a cat because family members were allergic, I’ve cared for both indoor house cats and barn cats, and I absolutely love spending time with them. Every cat has their own personality, and I enjoy earning their trust—whether they’re playful, curious, or prefer a quiet companion. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and preferences. Whether your pet wants a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’ll provide patient, reliable care and treat them like they’re one of my own. I also believe in keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Thank you so much for dropping in to check on our two kitties. We really really appreciate that you were able to visit around Mollee's bedtime and to see her in the photos all relaxed in her usual places. Della jumped down from the cat tree in the office when we got home, she was napping up top. Hopefully, as she gets to know you, she will come out and play with you!”


About: I have two cats of my own that we rescued from Hazel's House Rescue. Both of our boys are on special urinary diets due to blockages at one point in their lives, so I am very well versed on the medical side of things for kidney care. I also have experience in pet nutrition and have gained lots of knowledge of cat behavior and nutrition after working at MudBay.

About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind since I was 11 friends family & neighbors would ask me to check on babysit, feed and play with their cats. Over the years I have had several cats. I have tried a couple one of them. I was able to train to go potty on an actual toilet. I’ve trained them to come to me like a dog and to stay many other tricks that I have trained a couple of cats to do.
About: I’ve begged my parents for a pet since I can remember. Since I never got one I love to help anyone out with theirs when I can. From puppies to elderly dogs I love them all. I’m trying to transition from my current job, but I can work work around my schedule. Size and age of dog don’t matter to me I have experience with almost every kind of dog. I always watch my sisters golden doodles when she needs me to, so playing for a long time and going on lengthy walks to help tire your doggie out is no problem. I can easily crate your dog when and if needed. Adhering to your pets daily routine is absolutely no problem with me.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Chelsea provided for Bubu and Lola during their days at her place! Both of our Huskies can be a bit particular, but she handled them with such patience and love. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear that Bubu and Lola felt right at home. Chelsea kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which made our workday so much easier knowing they were having a great time. It was such a relief to see them so relaxed and happy! We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets. Bubu and Lola can’t wait for their next visit! 😊🐶”

“Thanks for being so flexible with our short notice daycare needs!! We appreciate the quick responses and all the communication. Betty and Gibson loved spending time with you!”

About: Rescue Ranch is 15 acres of forest and fenced pasture to play in. I am happy to host your pets while you are away. Animal love and care is what this farm is all about. I can provide individualized treatment for your pet including: administering meds, special diets, bathing, nail trim, training time, play time, social time with other dogs and LOTSA love !! I am retired and spending all my time on the farm and in the woods. Your pet is welcome to join me out here in God's country. I have several fenced acres to play in, forest trails to walk, cable runs, and a warm loving home. I have a German Pointer in the home and 3 Great Pyrenees outside protecting the farm.

“Sydney & Brock were fantastic with our puppy Tula. Great communication with updates & photos. We needed a last minute sitter for our puppy; Sydney & Brock were very kind to host Tula.”

About: As an animal lover, I'd consider myself very experienced with animals of all kinds. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and horses. Before losing him in the fall of 2023, I raised and cared for my dog, Chaps, for 12 years. It was a great 12 years, and I loved spending time training him. "Sit" and "down" are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the tricks Chaps could do. I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes. I am also comfortable taking care of most any special needs your pet may have. Tell me what you and your pet like, and I will do my best to provide an experience just the way you, and they, like it! Your pet will be safe and comfortable with me! I'm pretty flexible in how I organize my time. Walks, feedings, etc. can all be arranged with me to satisfy your expectations. Having had our own pets, we feel confident that satisfying your pet’s needs while they’re in my care should be seamless. Our backyard is dog-safe with a 6-foot privacy fence and access to a maintained yard with grass. Following your instructions and having the ability to communicate will provide a sense of security for you and helps me to give the best experience for your pet if I have questions about your pet’s care while you’re away. I’m a big fan of communicating!

About: I had dogs as my pet from my childhood. Many customers appreciated me as the best dog sitter ever. I even took care of small puppies below 5 months old. I’m currently a homemaker. So I will be able to spend more time with your dogs. I can assure you that I give my 100% in taking care of them. I have a bigger fenced backyard where your pet can play and spend more time. I will be always near them, taking care of them.
“Jessica really helped me out when I moved to the area with my separation anxiety dog Kelly. Kelly was a bit nervous during our first visit, since she was so stressed by our recent move, Jessica was very patient with Kelly. And that evening when I went to pick her up, I could see she was almost ready to move in to her house! Running around happily. And for all the following visits, she went right into her home for daycare, without any hesitation. I think that tells me Jessica really treats Kelly well! :)”

About: **Only accepting small 🐶 at this time ** We are a pet loving family who understand the importance of quality care for our pets when we are away from them. We grew up with house pets & farm animals and have had pets of my own since we were kids. Friends and family can attest to our love and care of animals which we have passed on to our kiddos who also enjoy being around them just as much as we do. We work from home and have two pups, Emilio Estevez and Bruce Willis. We enjoy having pups around our home and love watching them run around in the yard. 🐶 When staying with us, your pup(s) will interact with every member of our family; as well as a pup or two from other households. They will get lots of cuddles, playtime and downtime as needed. During the day, pup(s) are free to roam around and lounge anywhere downstairs, including the furniture. They also have unrestricted access to our large fenced backyard. At night time, pup(s) will sleep downstairs with our pups in their own crate or playpen. We have plenty of toys and always happy to play fetch or take them on walks around the neighborhood.
“Misty was great with my little girl Layla who has separation anxiety. She and her son made her feel at home and when I came, Layla was calm and relaxed. I will definitely use her again.”

“Anupama took such great care of our dog Mimi! She sent photo updates, communicated well throughout the whole stay, and asked us thoughtful questions about Mimi to help provide the best care for her. Thank you Anu!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Melani! She treats my dog like her own—he absolutely adores her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Melani is truly his second mom. She’s reliable, incredibly accommodating, and very communicative, which makes scheduling so easy. I trust her so much that I use her multiple days every week while I’m at work. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do, Melani is the one!”

“Mark provided June Bug daycare for an entire work week. By day 2, I knew that he was doing a fantastic job as she was excited in the morning to find herself at his door. I would highly recommend Mark and Marcus to care for that furry member of your family. Two thumbs up!”

About: I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, & 2 hedgehogs at home. And my husband keeps telling me to stop bringing more home. I'll think about it. :) I am home during the day, so I have time to give cuddles, and love so your baby isn't lonely. I know mine are anxious, and need the comfort. Having an anxious dog, I have learned they just need that comfort knowing they are ok. I also have the experience administering meds (by mouth).
About: I have been responsible for dogs ever since I was 10. I have raised four different dogs from when they were puppies to elderly. I can speak their language and an act as an expert dog body language interpreter. I am gentle enough to handle small dogs and strong enough to handle 100+ lbs ones, as well. I recently took early retirement and have flexibility to take care of your pets, whenever needed, on walks, play dates, or overnight stays at my house with my dog. I love dogs! I grew up with Old English Sheepdogs and have had two as an adult. I'm a believer in routine and consistency. My own dog, who is 8 years old, is our fur baby and gets walked 3 times a day, rain or shine. I love being outside getting exercise with him, and keeping him socialized with other dogs and people. We spend lots of time playing and snuggling.
About: I live in Gales Creek on 22 acres with woods and private trails along with 2 small older pups that love to play. Super idylic with tons of space to play and a roomy home to chill! I love dogs -- I grew up with a golden retriever, Amiga, as well as 2 cocker spaniels, Gus & Nikki -- previously lived with 2 chihuahua mixes, a doberman/rottweiler mix, and currently have a little old man rescued Tibetan Spaniel. Have always had them around and feel they truly make everyone's lives a little happier. Available for house-sitting or boarding. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Excited to meet your pet! I'm currently between contract jobs so have a lot of flexibility! Can focus on pets as much as needed and really would prefer it to be a main focus! I'm very responsible -- have taken countless walks as well as extensive experience house/pet sitting. Will be sure to make sure your pets are comfortable, safe, and also that they have fun :)

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs, I have grown up with dogs, and have taken care of my friends, family, and neighbors dogs. I’m currently a masters student at Portland State University, but I only have class on Mondays so my schedule is very open.

I am easily adaptable, so whatever your dogs routine is I will be happy to follow any instructions given. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay.
“Chelsea gave all the best first impressions. She understood Raymond extremely well and was attentive to the support I needed. I'm so thankful we met and excited to keep working with her.”

About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was a child. I’ve been exposed to large dog breeds (ex. Rottweilers & German Shepherds) as well as small dog breeds (ex. corgis & dachshund's). I am a certified dog trainer, with 9 years experience and can work in some Basic Obedience work with your dog during their stay or we can talk about some behavior modification and steps to move forward for private lessons. I currently work part time and have plenty of time and energy to work with and take care of your pup. I work with my own dogs twice a day but those sessions are very flexible. I don’t currently have a fully fenced in yard, but I have access to 5 private acres I can walk your pup on a long line. I utilize martingale collars to prevent any mishaps or escaping. I utilize positive reinforcement to connect and have clear communication with each dog I interact with.

About: I've always had pets ever since I was very little, I adore all pets. I have had many, and currently have kitties and a puppy! I know a lot on how to care for them, and love playing with them to keep them happy and stimulated. I currently spend most of my time at home with my own pets, I occasionally babysit family as well. I love spending time outside, and hiking with my pets too! When I do in home care or check-ups I always want to make sure the pet is well taken care for so I always check their water, food, and let them go potty if it's a dog. I play with each pet to make them happy and have a fun activity, also walks are great. I can walk for miles if you have a dog that loves or needs a long walk, I'm all about keeping your pet happy and healthy!
About: I grew up with a lot of animals, I took good care of family dogs and neighbors dogs, I also took care of friends dogs. Text me well in advance, and I’ll place it on my calendar, I am free Friday-Tuesday, text me if needed for Wednesdays or Thursdays anytime.

“I was not sure what I expected out of this but even if I had the highest hopes, Chanay is incredible!! The weight this takes off of me is huge, it certainly is a dopamine jolt that gets me through my 13 hour work days… truly amazing”

“I felt so at ease with Brody taking our two dogs for a walk! He's very punctual and took pictures of them while away from the house. I would definitely ask him to walk the dogs again.”

About: The first and only thing I ever begged my parents for was my very own dog... I didn't care how big/small, young/old it was but I knew it would be my best friend. I got my very own dog when I was 11 years old for Christmas and now, almost 17 years later I could never imagine life without dogs in it. Our only pet is our puppy Georgia who is a 5 month old Lab/Pit mix and we adore her so much! She is great with other dogs and loves all people. Aside from my love of dogs (and all animals) I am Certified as a Dog Trainer and also Certified as a Veterinary Assistant, which means I am also capable of administering medication while you are away. I am home just about 24/7 so any dog that stays with me will never be left alone. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you, thank you! -Megan R.

I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”

“Brittany was an amazing dog sitter. She was amazing with my older dog who is a little anxious and not dog friendly. She made sure he was well taken care of. I would definitely let Ryder stay with Brittany any time!”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”

“We can’t recommend Lorri highly enough! You can tell she truly loves and cares for our dogs as her own, and that provides us such a sense of comfort. She’s the most thoughtful caregiver for them, and her hilarious updates throughout the stay are the absolute best. Consider yourself lucky if your pups get to stay with Lorri!”
“Really thankful for Irene taking care of Reggie at last minute notice, Reggie is a handful and she took care of his needs and he had a great time. Would recommend her anytime!”

“Aliina was wonderful I will be a repeat customer! Oliver was in the best hands and had so much fun in her home with her and Teddy. The videos and picture updates were incredible and set my mind at ease seeing how well he was taken care of. When my flight got delayed over 3 hours I felt terrible and Aliina was so very understanding . Incredible service!!”

“Lea was awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better experience for our chocolate lab, Moose. Lea was flexible with dropoff/pickup, super responsive over text, shared pics each day, and provided a nice, comfortable vacation for our 7.5 yr old pup. 10/10 would recommend!”

“If I could leave 100 stars I would! Anu was so kind and took such good care of our dog! She was constantly sending me pictures and videos and I could tell she enjoyed having our dog around. I will definitely reach out to her again if I need another dog sitter!!”

“Mckenzie & Brett were great with our anxious pup! They (as well as their pets) made the stay as easy as possible for us and now our guy has 2 new human, 2 new pup and 1 new kitty friend. We will definitely use them again.”

“Oskar had a great experience at Steve’s with his dogs! He was great with Oskar even with a little mishap he handled the situation wonderfully and Oskar played the whole time in his fenced in yard. Steve made sure to send lots of photos and updates on Oskars stay. Would definitely come back!”


“Vanessa was wonderful!! She took on our pack of 4 that she had never watched before for us to go get married over the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates, was great at staying in touch and communicating despite my failure to respond at times, as she understood we were incredibly busy! She was also very flexible and helpful on the Sunday of pickup! The dogs clearly had a great time, were well cared for, and very tired when we picked them up which was ideal, as we were similarly exhausted. We highly recommended Vanessa, she will take fantastic care off your fur babies!! Thank you, Vanessa!!”

“Morgan was quick to reply to messages and her updates (with pictures) during the boarding period were much appreciated. She took good care of our Labradoodle. She was calm and happy when I picked her up, like she’d just had a nice vacation herself!”
