“Holly was awesome with my dog. She watched her for 3 nights. Was very communicative and asked me questions when unsure. Sent me lots of pics of my baby which means a lot. Also my dog can be particular about who she trusts but I can tell they got along great and she was well cared for. Thanks Holly !”

About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.

“She is awesome!! We felt super secure with her and our animals genuinely seemed happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be checking to see if she is available for any of our future trips. She sent pictures and communicated every day if I could give her 10 starts we would :)!!! Super happy with her work.”

“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”

“Rachel is amazing! Her calm nature and constant communication was our saving grace and hers, since our youngest dog had separation anxiety at first. I appreciate everything she did to help the dogs relax a trust her abilities.”

“Karen is amazing with our pups! We could tell our dogs were very happy and well taken care of by Karen while we were gone. She also took care of our house and watched our pups at home so that they could be in their regular environment. We are glad we were able to find her after we moved to the coast!”

About: I've taken care of family members, friends and neighbor's dogs over the years. I've fed, walked, played and bathed all types of dogs and even have my own dogs I'm currently unemployed but I love dogs and cats. I have experience with kittens,puppies, senior cats and dogs as well as giving medication and bottle feeding if needed. I'm very patient and friendly with animals and I'm aware all animals have different needs and I'm willing to do what I can to meet them. I also have dogs and cats of my own. I feed,walk,bathe and play with my own dogs and cats as well as the dogs and cats I'm caring for I sometimes I have spa days with my own dog where I do his nails

About: I've owned dogs since I was 8. Almost 20 years. I've done all my own training. I've trained puppies, administered shots and medication to senior dogs and cats, and everything between. I also have knowledge with rodents, cats, horses and other farm animals. I work 3 12 hour shifts Friday through Sunday. I get home around 6:30 those days but drive in the Yamhill/McMinnville area so stopping in for a quick walk or dinner wouldn't be a problem at all. My schedule Monday through Thursday is completely wide open for walking, drop ins, or pet sitting, however I will not be able to pet sit Thursday night through Sunday. I have 5 dogs who are get along very well with other dogs once properly introduced. They range from 25 to 65 pounds, most of them are very active. I have extra kennels but I also have a designated dog room with a comfy couch that two of my five sleep on at night. I live on quarter of an acre with a fully fenced in yard.

“Ruby took great care of my two dogs. I felt confident leaving the furry kids with her and she kept me informed. The dogs were very comfortable with her. I recommend her. If I must travel again, I will be calling Ruby.”

“Christopher took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I had a water leak a couple days before I was leaving and was great about being there for maintenance to come while I was gone”

Cora S.

“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”

Kris Cass M.

“McKenzie, was fabulous! We came home to very happy pups, and the house was spotless. We received many pictures and updates which helped us enjoy our vacation. We have already booked her again!!”

About: I've grown up around dogs and taking care of them! I have experience delivering meds, taking multiple dogs on countless walks, and throwing a stick for hours on end! I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am mostly available on weekends, and most weekdays in the afternoon. In home, your pets will be well taken-care of! I am happy to spend time in a backyard with some pups or go on walks!

“Outstanding! Kelly is professional and caring. We have 2 Boxers and not everyone can handle their quirks and their strength but she handled them beautifully and we felt confident they were in great hands. She left our home spotless and we had 2 happy pups when we arrived home. We highly recommend Kelly!”

Lorie E.

“Aiden and Hunter took exceptional care of our fur babies- even winning over our shy cat and socially awkward pup! When we returned home, all three pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. This was a last minute booking and they immediately put us at ease with excellent communication and regular updates throughout their stay. They truly went above and beyond, even washing the linens on the guest bed before they left. They genuinely care about the animals they look after- we will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future!”

About: I started taking care of animals when I was really young I think around 6 years old I would take care of my neighbor's dog was a little Pomeranian when they would go places. Also my neighbor had a Irish setter that I would go visit all the time and she would give me a dollar to walk her around the block or talking at least 48 years ago and I still remember it to this day it was one of the best times in my life when I was young. I think I've decided that I want to dedicate my life to this I mean what's left of it anyway lol I've been working with people most of my life and I thought I'd give this a try so daily routine and weekly routine would be up to the customer and it would be your preference after all you're the boss right? I've been a caregiver since 1998 of people I had five background checks last year for the state of Oregon I work for Oregon health Care commission and I'm a caregiver I passed five of them so you would not have to worry about me being in your home I would offer the services that you were requesting and you would also go beyond even more than what you would expect I think I would be a good fit with for anybody I'm an older lady and I've got a lot of grandchildren so I figured taking care of your for a babies and I would treat them like my grandbabies or you would say fur babies. Customer would be my boss so therefore I would do what they would ask.

“We were pleased to find a Star Sitter like Erica available to stay with our pets while we were gone for turkey day. Erica was fabulous and our cat and dog were very happy and well taken care of. She's a prompt and detailed communicator and takes AMAZING pictures!!!! Mad props as well for her being very understanding when our flights home were significantly delayed into the wee hours of the morning. She stayed a few hours extra and even went above and beyond to clean up everything before leaving, including taking out the trash and throwing in a load of laundry! We of course tipped extra for her awesome efforts. Highly recommend Erica if you need a reliable, responsible animal lover to watch your pets.”

About: What sets me apart is that I treat pets like family, not just a checklist. I pay close attention to their routines, personalities, comfort levels, and little quirks, whether that means giving a shy cat space, keeping a playful pet engaged, or sending updates so you feel reassured while you’re gone. While most of my experience is with cats, I’m also open to caring for dogs and have watched dogs in the past. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely care about making your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. Pet sitting is my full-time work, so my days really are built around caring for animals and showing up for them consistently. I love that I get to spend my time helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. Since this is my main focus, I’m able to be thoughtful and flexible with each pet’s routine. Some pets want playtime and attention, some need a calm presence and a little patience, and some just want their meals on time and their space respected. I try to meet each pet where they are and keep their day feeling as normal and stress-free as possible. I also have my own cat, Mango, so I know how much the little details matter. I bring that same care into every visit, whether I’m checking in on cats, caring for dogs, sending updates, or just helping your pets and home feel settled while you’re gone I’m very respectful of both your pet and your home. I make sure doors, gates, windows, food, and supplies are handled carefully, and I pay attention to the little things that help prevent stress or accidents. I also like to send updates and photos so you feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible and help them feel secure in their own space. Whether your pet is social, shy, playful, or more independent, I’ll meet them where they are and give them care that feels patient, gentle, and trustworthy.
