Portland In-Home Pet Sitters (PIPS) provides experienced, personalized care for dogs, cats and other domestic animals. We offer a variety of pet care services ranging from a quick midday stop for a potty break to overnight care while an owner is away for business or vacation.
Pets that stay at home while their owners are away are generally more contented and happier than they would be in an institutional-type environment. We focus on your pets, making sure they have appropriate exercise, stimulation and plenty of human interaction.
We aim to give your pets the same attentive and loving care in their home that we would want for our own dogs and cats. We have many years of experience with both small and large dog breeds and with cats.
