“When I flew to Michigan for the holidays, Roseann was the only person I trusted my dog, Cash, with for the week. I drove 2 hours out of my way from the airport so that Cash could spend the week week with her and he came back happy as always. Thanks again Roseann!”

“WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! Eduardo did a great job watching my little Maltipoo . My daughter's wedding was in Hood River. I was able to enjoy all the activities and was so relieved that my doggie was in such good hands. Received regular updates and pictures that made my weekend worry free. I will be using Eduardo again for any future needs.”

About: I currently have a pup of my own who I have been training. She still has work to do. I have spent years prior to that being the house/animal sitter back home in West Virginia. I work part time. I am a teacher during the school year. In the summer I just work 5 hours 2 days a week at a local winery. I usually walk/bike my dog every morning before work. On days I do not, I try to get her out on a longer walk or swim when the weather is really hot. I have a very flexible schedule in the summer to fit in other animals. I am pretty vigilant when it comes to my own dog. I try to make sure she gets plenty of exercise. She needs it. I love getting her socialized with older and younger dogs. I have even taken my pup to school with me to socialize best with my students are blind. I would follow the care needs set forth by the dog/cat parents. Please be sure to give special instructions if needed.

“What a wonderful spot and such a kind and gracious couple. Samantha and Colton watched our standard poodle on a last minute booking. Scout loved her stay! She puttered around the farm, played with Mosely, their sweet and cheerful aussie, and was happy relaxed girl when we picked her up. The property is spacious, safe and so cool! Samantha and Colton are in the process of developing a beautiful vineyard along the Columbia River called, The Narrows. They shared a bottle with us and it is fantastic. Samantha kindly told us about the history of the property, showed us the progress they have made thus far, and shared their future plans. I would be thrilled to leave Scout there again and hope to visit once the winery is fully up and running. A great experience all around. I highly recommend Samantha and Colton for your 4-legged famiy member. Five stars all around!”

“Katlyn and her pack (of sweet, well behaved dogs) were a perfect match for my two Aussiedoodles. She let the girls come in and settle in and then off to the races. I loved how attentive she was in keeping me informed about their days and also sending pictures. It’s hard leaving our furbabies, but I was at great peace knowing they were in great, caring hands. We will definitely be booking with Katlyn again.”

About: Team of dog moms who have many years of experience with countless breeds. I own the business "Oregon Tail Great Danes” and am used to overseeing packs of 6+ dogs..from growing up with various pets, to the numerous encounters at dog parks, and dog sitting. Sarah is very knowledgeable and had many pets in her life and has an Australian shepherd. Between the two we always have someone overseeing your fur babies. Someone at the house with the dogs being boarded, and someone to do house sitting jobs. We would be comfortable in any situation involving care for whatever fur baby you have! Pet care fits into our routine perfectly, we have pets of our own and getting them taken care of every day is always a priority! I will treat your pets the same way. Pets in our home are part of the family! They will not be lacking pets, playtime or treats. I also respect that some pets require extra special instructions and you can trust me to stick to your animals’ routine. We have two separate fenced yards, and 5 acres where we like to leash the dogs and let them explore. For house sitting clients-you can expect your home and pets to be treated with respect and for us to arrive in a timely manner, we will keep your pets’ schedule and your house clean.

About: I've basically been around dogs all my life and I love them dearly. I lived on a farm in Mexico for over 15 years and had my pack of 5 dogs. I enjoy playing and spending time with them, walks and talks :) I have patience for dogs like no other, their needs are my top priority. Every dog is a good dog🖤 I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have all the time in the world to take care and to have a fun time with your pup!! Walks, treats and belly rubs all day🖤 I have a fenced back yard that your pup and my pup can play in, many dog toys and of course the house to roam around in. My house isn't very small but not too big either, but its definitely safe for your pup 100%. I do walks locally, so it's safe and close to home!

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and I am willing do to whatever it takes to make them happy, comfortable, and cared for. I do work varying shifts! Not too long but outside of work I will still provide everything they may need! With lots of pets, play time and going outside! I do have a full yard and I moved to a house so i no longer live in an apartment. I dont have any dogs. Not since I moved out. I watch a beautiful hound when his parents need time away. My parents have two beautiful well taken care of Rottweilers. I have five cats. I feed them good quality food and occasionally do raw food diet when I can afford it. I play with them when I can and they are inside cats.

About: I’m a professional pet care provider with 8+ years of hands-on experience working with animals. My background includes professional pet sitting, working as a technician with a reputable dog training company, and working with animals in a local animal-care setting. Through my experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, needs, and quirks—including shy, sensitive, fearful, and high-energy pets. I’m comfortable with everything from everyday routines and enrichment to medication administration and following detailed care instructions. I believe great pet care is about more than simply checking boxes. I take the time to understand each pet as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine! I run my own professional pet care business, so caring for animals is something I’ve intentionally built my schedule around. I’m used to planning my days around pets’ individual routines, including morning and evening visits, walks, feeding schedules, medication, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I carefully manage my bookings so I can give each client the time and attention they deserve rather than overbooking myself. My schedule also gives me flexibility to accommodate different routines and pets who may need a little extra patience or consistency. When caring for pets in their home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routines closely and make sure they receive plenty of attention and enrichment throughout my visit. I’m respectful of every client’s home and treat it as I would my own. I’m careful about security, cleanliness, and leaving things the way I found them. Most importantly, I meet pets where they’re at. Some pets want to play and be constantly engaged, while others need space and a slower approach. I’m especially comfortable working with shy or sensitive pets and never force interaction before they’re ready.
