I was hesitant to leave a review since several coworkers recommended this pet sitting company to me, but I feel it's important to share my experience. I booked two 30-minute drop-in visits for total of $60 per day because house sitting wasn't available (which would be around $70 per night). Unfortunately, most visits seemed to last only about 10-15 minutes recorded by our door entry log. Pet sitters I've used from other companies have always stayed the full time, even if my shy cat, Kingsley, didn't come out right away, so they could slowly gain his trust and ensure he received his medication. This sitter seemed to be in a rush and didn't put in the same effort, which was disappointing given the importance of his care. I did let the sitter know that if it was impossible to dose him, it would be ok but I thought eventually she would be able to coax him out to give it to him like my past sitters. read more

Always the best care with Nika and Dani! We've been using them for years and they have never let us down once. The best you can get!!

I do not know what I would do without Stacey. We started using Stacey in 2022 and haven't looked back. She has stayed with our pups twice a year ever since. She takes amazing care of the dogs and follows every request I give her. She keeps them safe and loved. Both of my pups has separation anxiety and they are both so calm with Stacey. In October 2024 Stacey had surgery half way through our vacation so she had Danni come stay with our pups. Then the unthinkable happened and while on vacation we got hit by a hurricane and were not allowed to fly out of Florida. We had to stay an extra two days. Danni stepped up and stayed with the pups and allowed me to not worry about them. She literally was a life saver to us and thank you isn't enough. It's bad enough we had to worry about a hurricane, changing flight plans and extending our hotel, but to worry about someone staying with your pups was something Danni allowed me to not have to worry about! Stacey is never allowed to retire because that means I can't vacation anymore. There is no one else I trust with my pets. She allows me to actually enjoy my vacation because I know my babies are beyond taken care of! read more

Dani has petsat for our cats and dogs for awhile now! I feel comfortable that if something were wrong with our pets, Dani would recognize that and know what to do! It makes our vacations less stressful, as our pets are our family! I'm very happy with the service! read more

Should be 1/2 star because they did show up‍ I hired veterinary Pet Sitting for 1 week, I came home to find my grandsons photo that were on my hutch chewed up, pieces of frame scattered throughout my house, area rug saturated with urine, floor vent chewed up, house plant knocked over, dirt all over my floor!! thought I had piece of mind leaving my animals with a vet tech, what I had was a lot of clean up and repair, the owner made excuses for the caregiver who was staying at my house, showed her the pictures but, sided with the caregiver, trust me go somewhere else!! read more

Dani is the BEST! I highly recommend this company! thjey are very responsive, and professional.

We used Veterinary Pet Sitting for our first time and just loved them. Dani was who came to watch our little puppy for about 10 days while my wife and I were on holiday. I can't say enough about how amazing Dani is. She texted us everyday about our little lady and how she was doing, she kept our house very clean, and is just so much fun to talk with. It also gave us peace of mind knowing that Dani is a vet tech and could handle any problem that might arise with respect to the health of our puppy. If you are going out of town and need someone to watch your beloved pet(s), then Veterinary Pet Sitting who you should work with. From the first email that I sent to ask about services to the actual watching of our puppy, they are amazing. We have already scheduled Dani for our next vacation and will be using her for the foreseeable future to watch our puppy. THANK YOU DANI for allowing us to truly relax on our holiday knowing that our little lady was in VERY capable hands. read more

A HUGE thank you to Dani for taking care of our cat during our trip! It was our first time working with Dani and we were truly impressed how she connected with Umka from the first visit, she is very thorough, detail oriented, and simply amazing! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Stacie and her crew! I am dealing with a second medically challenged kitty in 5 years and had been very hesitant about leaving town. A neighbor introduced me to Stacie and VPSP. I like to get a house sitter, but the challenge is there are often there are pills, injections, special diets etc. that I can't expect my sitters to do. But these are my babies. Stacie has helped with my older CKD cat who needs daily SQ fluids. She worked with my house sitter at the time and came by every day to manage treatments, feed everyone, and give some love & attention. My cats love when they visit - and they take such good care, medical needs and all. Highly recommend them!!!! read more

Kara gained our dog's trust, who has BIG EMOTIONS, faster than anyone I have seen. She kept him engaged by taking him to fun outings at multiple parks and around the neighborhood. The enrichment she provided kept him from having his destructive behaviors and kept him from chasing the cats. With her background as a Veterinary Technician, I was comfortable leaving her in charge of medications for my pets. And when I got home, my house was cleaner than when we left. We will invite Kara into our home again! read more

I was extremely thrilled to find this organization! We have 3 little dogs and we were verging on not going on our little trip. Our dogs are part of our family and it didn't feel right to leave them behind. Additionally one of our dogs has congestive heart failure and needed some extra TLC. Another 1 is fairly elderly. But Alas the day was saved by Kara.. She came by and met the dogs so that she was not a stranger. We paid for the overnight visits and asked for her to stay as much as she wanted because the dogs are used to my parents being around at all times. Essentially I think she did stay for a lot of the trip while we were gone. Not only was this able to be arranged but actually arranged on somewhat short notice AND also I had confidence in the care she would give. Kara took really good care of our babies and even checked in nearly every day with pictures and to make sure that we were knowing our babies were taking care of.... definitely definitely definitely would recommend this service to anyone. And it ended up being cheaper than the kettles around which I never want to use for my dog's. I have a very hard time with the concept of leaving my babies in a kennel... I really welcomed the idea of having some knowledgeable vet technicians and generally people that love dogs take care of our dogs.. Definitely recommended. read more

After moving to Portland last Spring, I was in need of a pet sitter that would be able to provide care to my 2 senior Dachshunds that have multiple medical issues, during business trips. It's not easy to find someone capable, loving and understanding of the needs of senior animals and I'm so grateful to have been referred to Veterinary Pet Sitting Professionals (Stacey) by one of my local vets offices. One of my dogs is diabetic and Stacey made me feel comfortable and secure in her knowledge, abilities and love for animals. I'm incredibly grateful for all the help she's provided and also connecting me with Jessica on her team who does excellent overnight's with my dogs and loves them like I do. They always send pictures and keep me updated to how things are going when I'm traveling and it helps ease my anxiety as I know my furry kids are being loved and cared for in the best way possible while I'm gone. They've both gone above and beyond for me and my dogs and thanks isn't enough. Stacey even sent flowers when my sweet Doxie girl Shazam passed away last October. I'm incredibly grateful for all of their help. Thanks Stacey and Jessica! read more

Kara Sinnott watched my dogs while we went out of town. I have a mini Aussie, a Shepard and a 135 lbs Rottweiler. I was concerned the shepard may be worried about her & she might feel intimidated by my Rottweiler. She came over before hand to meet them. My Rotti sat the couch beside her & she casually rested her arm on him while looking at her phone. It was indirect connection.... "I'm here, but not in your face." That impressed me & her energy was spot on. My shepared didn't pay much attention to her at the meeting. I told her of my concerns about my shepard. The dog is cautious of strangers & a love bug to those she knows. She sent me a picture that relieved any concerns! Everything was as it should be when I got home. It was so nice to know my kiddos weren't alone all day & got fed while we were gone. I highly recommend Kara & will be the first person I call when making plans to reserve the date! read more

I can't say enough good things about Stacey and her petsitting business! My elderly cat is my best friend, and he got sick right before I left for a two week trip abroad. I had friends watching him, but I was worried sick about leaving him without a professional to assess his condition, give him fluids and meds when needed, syringe feed him if he wasn't eating, and to know when a vet visit was necessary. I googled "vet tech pet sitters) and happened upon VPSP, and I'm so glad I did! Stacey picked up the phone right away and assured me she was personally available to watch my guy. She came over within the half hour to meet him, discuss his care, etc. I immediately felt comfortable with her! She's friendly, down to earth, great with cats, and super smart. It was such a good feeling to discuss my cat's bloodwork and symptoms with someone who really understood them. I felt a million times better leaving him, knowing she would be able to really tell if he was improving, staying the same, or getting worse. Stacey gave me daily updates so I knew exactly what was going on at home. She provided excellent supportive care (fluids, meds, a variety of food and treats, and syringe feeding) as well as keeping tabs on the litter box and feeding my other cat. Gemini (sick cat) obviously liked her, to, as apparently he didn't give her any trouble and enjoyed her visits! Fortunately, my guy started feeling better and was back to normal in a few days, but I'm confident she would have known if something was wrong. I was surprised by her very reasonable rates and responsiveness! She even checked in after I was home to see how Gem was doing. I also really appreciated get professionalism, as the business is licensed and bonded, everyone is a licensed vet tech, and the paperwork was very thorough (you can really tell they have experience in vet offices!). I recommend Stacey and her crew to anyone whose animal is special needs, senior, ill, or just needs some extra care! I already recommended VPSP to a friend who needed a sitter for get terminally ill kitty, and I'm telling everyone who will listen about this amazing new business! We really needed something like this in Portland, and I'll definitely use them again! read more

Stacey is an absolute Angel! She came as a top recommendation from Alberta Veterinary Clinic, who we adore. Stacey welcomed care ((at our house) for our behavior challenged Kitty, who has diabetes, for a weekend. She checked in upon every visit to ensure feeding and insulin went well, plus sent us cute photos of our Kitty each visit. It was a delight connecting with Stacey and knowing that her team of vet tech sitters are helping take care of pets in Portland needing specialty care. We highly recommend working with her. Prices are extremely honest, as well. She even came for a meet and greet visit in advance to get to know our family and ensure we had a copy of their license and insurance. Much gratitude! read more

Stacey has been our go-to pet and house sitter since we found her. She is 100% reliable and I know that my home and furry family are going to be well-cared for. We have aging pets and will only let someone as qualified as she is care for them. She has spent years as a veterinary technician so she is trained in administering medications if needed, and would certainly notice anything unusual or concerning should the occasion arise. She sends regular updates and photos so we know everything is under control. read more

It takes a team to provide care to my furkids and I am eternally grateful to have found such a caring and competent person and team to help me.

Thrilled to have finally found professional and excellent care for our dog/bunny/chicken menagerie through VPS! We had a great first experience with Jessica recently and feel like going away without our animal kids is actually on the table for us now. I found out about VPS through my sister, a veterinary care coordinator, and subsequently learned Stacey is the vet tech who's cat-care prowess my good friend has been raving about for years. When I called to check availability, Stacey answered right away and spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with me explaining how everything works. After chatting, I could see why Stacey has been my friend's go-to gal for kitty care over the years - Stacey runs a business ethically and professionally, knows and truly loves animals and hires techs who share her values and standard of care. Having had a challenging time finding anyone willing/capable of caring for 4 indoor/outdoor bunnies, we were excited to learn Jessica was available to provide 24/7 in-home care for them and our 7 chickens. As sensitive as rabbits and chickens can be, it was important for us to have a trained professional who can recognize warning signs of illness keeping an eye on them. At our meet and greet with Jessica, we learned she had grown up with rabbits and used to show Silkie chickens. It was obvious Jessica was eager to bond with our animals and not at all intimidated by everyone's unique needs! As the need to communicate came up before our trip, both Jessica and Stacey were easy to reach and always quick to respond. The days we were away, Jessica sent text/email updates with pictures, asked questions as things came up with the animals and house and...music to our ears...told us she'd fallen in love with our bunnies. It was clear from the pictures, the bunnies were curious about their new friend, trusted her and were receiving lots of affection. Jessica made no issue of cleaning up bunny and chicken mess (it can be a lot!) and was also willing to water plants in the yard. All animals were happy and thriving when we returned and our place was super tidy! So very grateful to have Jessica care for our animals/home and to have VPS in our corner for future trips! read more

Stacy was amazing! It was wonderful to go on a vacation and not once think about who was caring for my cats, and were they really doing a good job or not. I had complete confidence in this company because they are all vet techs. I knew that if my animals got sick, Stacy would know what to do to care for them. I will definitely use them every time I go on vacation! read more

They are the absolute best. They are incredibly professional and thorough, communicative, and take the best care of our senior cats. I can't recommend them enough. It's a huge relief to find sitters comfortable with special needs animals and medication administration. read more

Stacey cared for our sweet diabetic cat Samoa for many years during which time we made countless out of town trips when Stacey came to our home twice daily to care for our cat. Stacey always communicated professionally and promptly, loved Samoa as her own, took care of all the usual cat sitting duties like feeding and changing the liter box, and also provided insulin injections and often other medications as well. Stacey is a true cat lover and we always appreciated her technical expertise as a vet tech leaving us feeling even more confident that Samoa was in capable hands while we were out of town. She would go above and beyond by calling or texting updates to give us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Stacey! read more
