Erika (pictured here with "Rudy") is a Lake Oswego native! Erika is our regular midday daily dog walker (mondays-fridays). She was also the pet care provider who covered the majority of PAWSWEGO's local clientele while Holly (the owner) took her latest maternity leave. In addition to Erika's extensive background of caring for her own pets and family members' pets, Erika has a background in Child Care. She earned her B.A. in Psychology from Southern Oregon University. Erika also received many awards and distinctions for various athletic achievements throughout her academic career. Erika's love of animals and children, combined with her energy, excitement, and reliability has made her an invaluable part of our professional pet care team.

Tom (pictured here with "Turk") has been doing regular vacation pet care visits for PAWSWEGO's clients since moving here in 2006. In addition to being Holly's step-brother, Tom is a student attending Reed College on a full Merit Scholorship. Tom enjoys doing overnights and housesitting while he has his nose buried in his books. He loves walking dogs and has a special touch with the kitties. Tom grew up caring for the many pets in his own household, as well as friends-of-the-family's pets. I have always been impressed with the way animals are drawn to him. On a side-note, Tom is also a very talented jazz musician. We are so happy to have him here in the Pacific Northwest. My clients have been very impressed with him and his care of their pets. It is a real pleasure to be working with such a trustworthy and kind young man.

Cory (the husband of PAWSWEGO petsitting's usually-pregnant owner) has had to take on much of the cat-box-cleaning responsibilities over the past two years. Despite a busy career in the film business, Cory finds time to petsit on his way to-and-from "the set". Cory has sacrificed his holidays and many days off by helping his wife while her business was growing. He has been an invaluable part of this business for the past 10 years. He is truly an animal lover and incredibly patient with and supportive of Holly's busy career.

Emily (pictured here with her kitty "Azzy") is the owner of a graphic design firm named "Kitten Design". Emily lives in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland. Being Holly's sister and a fellow lifetime animal lover, she was brought on to fullfill the great petsitting and housesitting demand in Southeast and Southwest Portland. Her flexible "freelance" schedule is a perfect fit for the needs of our clients and their pets. She has done a lot of regular midday dogwalking, catsitting, and overnight sitting for us, and our clients can't stop raving about how wonderful she is. We are thrilled to have her as part of our growing pet care team!

Mindy (pictured here with Monty and Lucy), is now providing dog walking services exclusively to NE and NW Portland neighborhoods with her new business called, "Walk the Dog". Click on her photo (above) to hit the link to her new website. I know my clients were always extremely happy with her services while she was working with PAWSWEGO, and we are sure you will be too. We whole-heartedly support her in this new venture!
