We love having such trustworthy and experienced force free pet professionals in our community!! 👏
Sept 30, 2025: We're honored to have been voted the winners of 6 community awards in less than 4 years of business! We're equally honored to have earned the trust of local pet families.
Many of our clients have been with us for years. Some families we're just getting to know. Sits & Wiggles treats all people & their furry family members with respect, kindness, patience & so much more!
Overnight pet sitting openings are available for most of 2026! Consultations always have been; & always will be; complimentary. We don't believe in charging for this service, as this is an opportunity for you & your pets to see if you connect with us.
Dog training, walking & daytime only pet sitting services are limited, as we're near capacity for daytime only services. Please contact us to see if we can accommodate your pet care needs.
If we're booked for your times or dates, feel free to post your needs in my group, Central Oregon Pet Services. Sits & Wiggles won't respond to service requests in this group, in order to offer the jobs to other providers. This has been our rule since day one. This isn't a platform to market our services, but a way to give back to our pet loving community.
Sits & Wiggles does NOT recommend all members of this group. We don't know or work with them. We do recommend a few. Contact us for these details.
We recommend interviewing many pet professionals, & establishing relationships with a few. Seek out pet care well before you need it. By following these suggestions, you'll be able to enjoy greater calendar flexibility. You may be able to enjoy a spontaneous adventure. Or, perhaps you'll have coverage in times of illness, injury or emergency. Since we're a small (2 person) business, we encourage our clients to utilize other sitters in addition to us. We want the best for you, even if that isn't our company.
Pet parents are always responsible for FULLY VETTING any provider they choose to contract with, & trust to care for their beloved pets. All entrepreneurs or businesses may have varied skill, experience, credentials, & such. One company may have skilled workers, but the business isn't licensed or insured. Another may be licensed & insured, but their staff members aren't background checked or pet CPR certified. Another may have checked all of your boxes, but didn't connect with your animals. Decipher which factors are important to you when seeking care providers. My personal minimum standards are:
Pet business insurance
Clean background check
Up to date pet first aid & CPR
Connection with my pets
Ability to keep pets safe & content
Knowledge to keep pets mentally & physically stimulated.
Great communication skills
Ability to decipher animal body language
Respect for animals & people
Not using threats of fear or violence when working with animals
Welcome the use of indoor cameras
Thorough contract which both parties are amenable to
In the name of safety, don't publicly disclose your home or business address, your neighborhood, or your exact travel dates. We want to protect the pet parent, pets & pet sitter by keeping these details private.
Take care of yourself & your loved ones!
