“Dave and Daniel were wonderful with our Pomeranian Skyla. She’s animated and spirited, some might say a strong personality. She often, perhaps too often, wants her own way, but apparently Dave and Daniel were able to deal with this, and all parties seemed to have a great experience. What we do know for sure is that our little girl came home healthy and happy. What more can you ask for? We couldn’t be more pleased. We will definitely be bringing her back to her home away from home.”
“Remi had the best time and I didn’t have to worry one bit! Got daily pics and videos with is always sweet when you’re missing your babies! I know from now on who we will be going too! 💛”
“Gemma and her family were so sweet, and took the best care of Rusty. She was kind enough to provide updates while we were away, and he seemed to genuinely enjoy his time there. Highly recommend!”
“Another great stay! Our 9-month old golden retriever puppy developed so much confidence while staying with Jade. (He is generally a little nervous meeting new dogs.) But after an overnight stay at Jade’s house he walked right up to a new dog, wagged his tail, and said hello! We highly recommend Jade and her services. Excellent communication and happy dogs!”
“My dog had so much fun with Shelby. He has a lot of energy and she managed to tire him out every day. She communicated well and sent lots of great pictures. We got delayed on our way back and she held on to him for longer than planned. I will definitely book with her in the future when I have the need.”
“Always wonderful with my shy baby and my reactive baby. My dogs are always happy and relaxed when I pick them up, honestly I think they would stay with Julie forever if they could! I’ve been going to her for a year and still go to her despite moving up to the Portland area!”
“Diana was exceptional!! Our dog Hazel is quite shy around other dogs and was handled with such love and care! She was able to safely socialize, be cared for, AND we got daily photos and videos of her while we were away. Diana is such a joy to work with, she truly loves what she does, and I can't recommend her enough!!”
“Madison took great care of Zeus and sent us fun photo updates frequently. She was very accommodating, communicative and flexible and we look forward to having her watch Zeus again during our next trip. Highly recommended!”
About: I have years of experience caring for small and medium sized dogs and am the owner of two friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle. Because I focus exclusively on dogs under 40 pounds, I am highly familiar with the unique temperaments and safety needs of small and medium breeds. Working from home full time allows me to provide constant, dedicated supervision throughout the day, easily keeping up with your dog's specific feeding and bathroom schedules while keeping their anxiety low. Your dog will also have access to a fully fenced backyard, offering a completely secure space to get fresh air, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor playtime with Minion and Gizmo without any risk of escaping. Whether your dog has high energy or is a calm companion who just wants to nap by my desk while I work, I provide a peaceful, attentive environment tailored to making them feel safe and right at home. Since I work from home full time, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My workday is structured around the dogs, meaning guest pets are never left unattended and receive constant companionship. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks to step away from my screen and supervise outdoor playtime in my fully fenced backyard. Your dog will join my own friendly pups, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, for a consistent schedule of morning feeds, afternoon backyard romps, and plenty of desk side company while I work. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, bathroom, or exercise timelines without any disruption to my work week. Trust and safety are the foundation of how I operate, which is why I provide care exclusively in my own home where I can maintain total oversight. To guarantee a secure environment, I strictly enforce a 40 pound weight limit for all guests. This ensures everyone is evenly matched with my own friendly dogs, Minion, a 12 year old Lhasa Apso mix, and Gizmo, a 5 year old mini poodle, eliminating the safety risks and anxiety that come with mixing large and small breeds. Because I work from home full time, your dog will never be left unattended and will receive constant supervision. Outdoor time is restricted to a fully fenced backyard where I am always physically present to monitor play and bathroom breaks. I build trust with owners through transparent communication, regular photo updates, and precise adherence to your dog's established feeding and routine instructions, providing a predictable and protective environment where your pet can feel completely safe.
“Elizabeth took such great care of Percy while we were gone. We got lots of updates and great pictures. He had such a good time, we think he’s missing all of the space and puppy playmates. He came home happy and healthy.”
“Our dog was so happy when we picked her up! She even said goodbye to Tawna. We could tell she had a great time. The dog area is so big with a lot of room for the dogs to romp, play, and sniff around. They also sent great updates and pictures. We have already booked her next stay, highly recommended!”
“I left for ten days and this was only the second time I had left Stella with another family. It was such a great experience for her and me. Michael and I let the dogs meet ahead time and I felt very comfortable with both he and his dog. His entire family helped out and loved on Stella and it was a really positive experience. I would definitely use them again.”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”

“David saved us!!! We had a planned family vacation and everyone kept canceling on us, David accepted the job and made sure my cats were happy and safe definitely recommend David and will be using him again in the future.”
About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.
About: I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats, and for the past five years have regularly cat-sat for nearby friends. I love meeting and spending time with new cats. One of my favorite things to do when going on walks is to pet all my neighborhood cats!
“Had another great overnight visit with Alyssa. She takes wonderful care of our cat Mocha and leaves our house clean and tidy. We’ll definitely continue to use Alyssa in the future!”
“Thank you Kerri for watching Poppy and Cali while we were away! We are very happy with the visits you provided and felt very comfortable on vacation knowing you were there to watch after the fur babies. Thanks again and we hope you'll be available for future vacation!”
“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”
About: I absolutely adore cats, so much so, I have 9 of my own! I have years of hands-on experience caring for cats and understand how important patience, consistency, and close attention are to their health and comfort. One of my cats (Juniper) developed neurological FIP, and my partner and I provided her with ongoing medication and supportive care throughout her treatment. Thankfully, she recovered, and that experience taught me a lot about administering medication, monitoring changes in behavior and health, and caring for a cat that needs extra attention. I’m comfortable with everyday cat care such as feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and keeping cats comfortable while their owners are away.
“Taylor is kind, considerate and a true animal lover. My shy, somewhat reclusive kitty felt comfortable with Taylor almost immediately. Taylor did an awesome job not only with overall care, but also communicating through notes, photos, and videos. It’s such a relief to know my kitty is in such good hands.”
About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!
“My experience with Melody was fantastic she went above and beyond, truly the best pet sitting experience I have had. This was a super last minute booking after my previous sitter cancelled and she responded immediately and was willing to take over and show up instantly. She was super communicative and made me feel very comfortable, even going as far as giving me updates when she was leaving the house for less than 30 minutes. Not only did she send plenty of adorable photos of my cats but she cleaned up as well leaving my house in better shape than I left it. I would recommend Melody in a heartbeat she is the best.”

“Amazing experience!!! This was the first time we had ever used Rover or had a dog sitter, so I was a bit worried. Remo is a 4 month old puppy and very mischievous. Zuri sent texts, photos and videos, so I could see what a great time Remo was having at her home. I would definitely book again with Zuri and totally have piece of mind that Remo is in good hands.”

About: Hi there and thank you for taking the time to view my profile! If you're looking for a place where your dog will be treated like a member of the family while you're away, you've come to the right spot. Since the day I was born, I have been surrounded by all sorts of breeds (herding, working, hounds, toys, sporting)…you name it. There isn't a breed or size I don't adore. This has taught me that every dog is uniquely special and I truly love them all. After I recently lost my sweet and wonderful 16.5 year old Blue Heeler, Sooky, I have so much love to share and I'd be thrilled to give it to your fur baby! Whether your dog enjoys running around in my fully fenced yard or snuggling up by the fire when it's cold, they'll get cozy and comfortable care while they are with me. I'm experienced with dogs at all life stages, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. I can also handle things like giving medication or if you're working on commands/hand signals (I trained Sooky by hand signals only…no words) at home, I am more than happy to keep up that consistency while they're here! As a stay at home mom, I'm usually home all day so I can provide lots of company, attention, and affection! Treats are free with your permission! The only times I have to leave are for quick school runs for my kiddos, who are 3 and 6. My kids have been surrounded by dogs since they were born so they love dogs but they also understand some dogs need space and time to acclimate. With that said, if your pup is coming to visit, I kindly ask that they should be okay with kids and other dogs. Thanks for taking the time to read, please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your fur love. I am 100% invested in creating a positive experience for both your pup and you. I look forward to having your pup steal my heart. P.S. Just something deeply personal to me. I take huge pride in my natural connection with dogs, I have heard countless times over the years "they never warm up to people that fast!” so know they will be in a loving environment. P.S.S. Please know I am happy to give you photo/video updates so you have complete peace of mind. As a stay at home mom, I have a lot of flexibility. This means I can really focus on what your dog needs each day and tailor it to them. If you have an energetic pup who needs frequent potty breaks and active fun, I’m here for it! If you have a wise senior who just wants a quiet spot to snooze with periodic belly rubs or back scratches, I’m here for that too. Besides taking my kids to and from school in the morning and afternoon, I'm usually home. This means your dog won't be left alone for long hours. Whether your dog likes morning fun, lazy afternoon naps or a cozy evening wind down, I'll make sure your pup has a wonderful time with me. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities for every guest pup. I want them to have a "home away from home". My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play under my constant supervision. Inside, they’re welcome to roam freely, play with toys or snuggle up where they please. To keep the environment safe and happy for all, I will make sure every pup is friendly with children and comfortable playing alongside other dogs. I will be sure to supervise all interactions and treat your dog with the same care I’d give my own. You’ll receive photo/video check-ins during the day so you can see just how safe, happy, and settled your fur baby is!
“Tess was available with short notice. She was able to wrangle my energetic dogs through their first babysitting experience. They were with her for a couple of hours and were extremely comfortable. Thanks, Tess!”
About: I am a dog lover who was born and raised with dogs. I have raised 2 dogs from pups of my own and cared for my late elderly girl at the end of her life. I have 18 years of experience caring for and training my own dogs as well, caring for family pets, and work experience in a vet clinic. I am a stay at home mom and college student. My schedule is flexible and allows me to be home the majority of the time. I provide respectful and responsible service. I have a secure, dog-friendly home with a large fenced backyard. My lab Potter will love to play and run with your fur baby!
“We brought our dog to Whitney’s house for three days while we were in the area for work and she took great care of him! She was super flexible since we needed to pick him up at different times each day. And our dog was happy and well exercised when we got him in the evening. If we are ever back in the area again and need babysitting we will definitely bring our puppy back. Thanks Whitney!”
“Bridget had a great time with Novely. Novely was very kind and caring with Bridget. With the photos and video Novely sent I could see that Bridget ran and played in the yard with Novely’s dog and had a fun day.”
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
“She was so kind and communicated so well. Even took me the night before and sent pictures during the day. I intend to have my sweet kitties with her from now on so long as she’s available. 🤍”
“Tracy took great care of my 3.5m old German shepherd puppy. She loves dogs and dogs love her. She has a LOT of experience reading dogs body language and understanding dogs. My pup will be very happy to go back to stay with her again.”
“Super grateful for Tianna to watch my pup last minute. Lliira warmed up to her immediately. Tianna kept track of her potties and treats. Her home was clean and she’s got a decently sized backyard so Lliira had a chance to explore and be socialized with her own dogs. Very satisfied and will be using her again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Mickenzie was absolutely wonderful with my new puppy, Salem-Blue! From our first interaction, it was clear that she’s a natural with animals, and she went above and beyond to ensure Salem-Blue was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, updating me with texts and adorable photos throughout the day. It was such a relief to know my puppy was in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend Mickenzie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Mickenzie, for being so amazing!”
“Natalia is the right choice for a pet sitter. I’m so glad I found her. She did amazing with my dog. She’s friendly, professional, and reliable. Plus, she takes amazing photos! My dog came home each day happier than ever and was always excited to see her again. I could tell he was taken care of well. She also has a very clean house! I highly recommend Natalia.”

“For several months David has been stopping by my West Salem residence practically every weekend to walk my small dog. I really appreciate his consistent communication with me. He has been patient with my dog as it took awhile for him to warm up to David. I would recommend David to anyone needing a pet care. .”

About: Hi, I’m Kira! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a bit of a knack for making friends with them. 😂 I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, along with birds, chickens, chinchillas, turtles, frogs, fish, and lizards. Basically, if it has four legs, feathers, scales, or a tail, there’s a pretty good chance I’ve cared for one! I currently have an 11-year-old Husky who is my world, and I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a walk and some exercise, a potty break, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and enjoyable while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. ❤️🐾 Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and give each pet the personalized, one-on-one care they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual — because they all have their own little personalities! When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would expect in my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep safety a priority, and make sure your pets receive the care, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I’m also fully insured, giving you added peace of mind while your pets are in my care. ❤️
About: 🐾 Hey there! I’m a fun-loving, dependable pet person who thinks every dog deserves plenty of belly rubs, walks, playtime, and attention! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. Your fur baby will be treated like one of my own! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pets lots of love, attention, and playtime! I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays after 2 Pm. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, cuddles, and fun while you’re away! 🐾 I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love having new furry friends around! I’ll always make your pet’s safety and comfort a priority. I can crate your dog if needed, follow their normal routine, and give them plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention. 🐶❤️
About: Cats? I'm your person - I have 9! Concerning Kitties: I have experience with medication and higher-needs care. One of my cats developed neurological FIP, and my partner and I helped care for her throughout treatment, including administering medication and closely monitoring her health. She recovered, and that experience taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for an animal. As a full-time student, pet care fits really well into my routine! My schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and around my classes. I’m looking to use that flexibility doing something I genuinely enjoy while earning some extra income. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and make sure their pets receive consistent, dependable care while they’re away. I take every pet’s routine seriously and make sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely, especially for animals with specialized needs. With reptiles and amphibians, I understand how important proper temperatures, humidity, feeding schedules, enclosure security, misting, and species-specific care can be. I’m also comfortable with insects, rodents, and other feeding routines that some sitters may not be experienced with.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 whenever my family or friends go out of town I’m always the go to person for pet sitting following each direction from feeding bathing to night time. I also send out updates so no worry’s. I am currently available Monday through Sunday, offering flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when needed , but if plans change please let me know 2 or 3 days before thank you When caring for pets, their safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure before letting pets outside, keep harmful foods and household items out of reach, and closely monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully, provide plenty of supervision, and create a calm, safe environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
About: I am a remote worker with extra time available. I grew up with labs and Shih Tzus as well as cats. I've been dog sitting for the past 8 years and have done volunteer camps at the Willamette Humane Society. I am pretty flexible this summer for house sitting, dog walking, or drop ins. I can feed, walk, play with, cuddle, or even bathe your dog! I'm an animal lover and would be fine with other pets at the house, too. Watching and caring for dogs, cats or other pets is something I love to do on its own, aside from it being a "job." This would be a great way to spend my time. I am currently working part time, so will have time most days for drop ins, walks, etc. I am also available some weekends, as well. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. If your pet is friendly, then it could be an option for them to come stay at my house.
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: I have two cats at home and frequently pet-sit for friends & neighbors in the area. I have always had at least one cat in my home, and at one point lived with two miniature Australian Shepherds. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty of time in my schedule. I typically work 5 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, sometimes weekends. I am accustomed to following meal and medication schedules for pets, as well as monitoring a cat on a leash outside or walking a dog twice per day. When walking dogs, I stick to the established route and avoid other dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. I’ve fostered animals, dog and pet sat, and I have two dogs of my own. I am a college student home for the summer trying to raise money for school. I am excited to help families and meet new animals! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of pups! I either work 8am-1pm or 4pm-8pm on weekdays so I could dog-sit before or after work depending on my shifts and what is needed of me. I have a very flexible schedule and a very open schedule. I can work weekdays or weekends. At home, I have two big rescue dogs that unfortunately aren’t good with other dogs so all pet-sitting will have to be at the client’s home. However, they have given me experience working with reactive and unbehaved dogs so I can provide care for any dog. I have fostered over 10 dogs with my mom from puppies to 12+ aged dogs so I have lots of experience with different breeds, and types of dogs. I am very loving and caring and I love animals so it will be easy for me to love on your pups!
About: I’m experienced in caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I love walking dogs, teaching them new tricks and words and most of all play time outdoors. I will give them all the love while you’re away. I am a homemaker with free availability, I am usually home meal prepping or tending to the garden. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a large fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and given throughout the day.
“10/10 Daniel is awesome! It’s obvious that he genuinely cares for animals and wants to make them happy and feel comfortable. It was really nice knowing our dog Teton was in good hands while we were at work.”
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.
“Was super patient with our newly adopted dog and kept me updated on his activities! I was so stressed at work because we hadnt left him alone yet since getting him and I didnt know what kind of destruction he would do to the house. Auna made sure the house was proofed when he refused to go back in his kennel which helped with peace of mind! She is awesome!”
About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.

“Another great stay! Our 9-month old golden retriever puppy developed so much confidence while staying with Jade. (He is generally a little nervous meeting new dogs.) But after an overnight stay at Jade’s house he walked right up to a new dog, wagged his tail, and said hello! We highly recommend Jade and her services. Excellent communication and happy dogs!”
“My dog had so much fun with Shelby. He has a lot of energy and she managed to tire him out every day. She communicated well and sent lots of great pictures. We got delayed on our way back and she held on to him for longer than planned. I will definitely book with her in the future when I have the need.”
“Madison took great care of Zeus and sent us fun photo updates frequently. She was very accommodating, communicative and flexible and we look forward to having her watch Zeus again during our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Percy while we were gone. We got lots of updates and great pictures. He had such a good time, we think he’s missing all of the space and puppy playmates. He came home happy and healthy.”
“Our dog was so happy when we picked her up! She even said goodbye to Tawna. We could tell she had a great time. The dog area is so big with a lot of room for the dogs to romp, play, and sniff around. They also sent great updates and pictures. We have already booked her next stay, highly recommended!”
“I left for ten days and this was only the second time I had left Stella with another family. It was such a great experience for her and me. Michael and I let the dogs meet ahead time and I felt very comfortable with both he and his dog. His entire family helped out and loved on Stella and it was a really positive experience. I would definitely use them again.”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“She took wonderful care of my dog, who can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, and handled her with patience and kindness. I received many photos showing my dog happy, comfortable, and enjoying time with her loving family, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was being treated like part of the family, not just being watched. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to care for their pet.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
“Miriam has watched Chowder for over a year now and she has been amazing! Chowder and her have connected so well and it’s clear that he is completely comfortable and happy around her. She is very attentive and sensitive to his needs. Very happy to continue working with her 😊”
“Joseph was great with our pups. He helped us out last minute when we were in a mind and was very responsive. The pups had so much fun running around and making friends! We would love to have him watch them again!”
“Tamra kept my large GSD in her home for a week and took great care of him! He’s a sweet guy but set in his ways so one never knows how he will respond to a new situation…but it was obvious immediately that he felt comfortable with her and was well cared for: long walks, play dates with dog friends, lots of social interaction. I would 100% recommend Tamra!”
