History

Established in 2002.

I started pet sitting part time in Germantown, Maryland while working at a vet clinic. I started with daily, mid-​day dog walking services and over time integrated cat care and overnight pet sitting as well. I have continued to work in veterinary care, specializing in cats, over the past 8 years. My job experience working with cats, medicating them, and (safely & calmly) handling them for everything from toenail trims to administering insulin to diabetic kitties, has provided me with a keen sense of felines.

Not to leave the dogs out of the picture,…I have been raising and caring for large dogs since my family operated an AKC Kennel of Alaskan Malamutes in the early ’80’s. I love dogs and know that having a healthy, active pet requires just the right attention from a dog walker/​sitter. I have recently added Marcus to my team, and his specialty is being my «Dog Companion /​Walker». We are now providing services in Washington and Clackamas counties.

Tracy S.

Business Owner

I have worked with companion animals for a combined 32 years both personally and professionally. My background is in veterinary medicine and kenneling /​boarding. I am trained in the care, handling, medication administration as well as the recognition of when pet behavior can be cause for concern. My specialty has been cats as I have worked for 7 years in feline-​only practices both in Maryland and Oregon.

My veterinary background enables me to provide medications including oral, subcutaneous injections, fluid therapy and topical (trans dermal) formulations to your pet as needed. I am certified in Pet First Aid /​CPR from Northwest Veterinary Services in Portland, Oregon since 2011. Since I surround myself with cats, kittens and more cats, you can find me at Tualatin Petsmart on weekends, as I am an Adoption Counselor for Cat Adoption Team. My family includes my husband, our 13 year old daughter, 2 kitties and 1 dog.
