Spencer is amazing with all my pets. When they are in her care I have zero worries because I know she cares for them as if they were her own! Her skills as a vet tech shine through in her handling and attention to details when medications are needed. You will not be disappointed if you leave your fur babies with Spencer because they will love her too!

Caring for a green wing macaw requires a special touch, and The Critter Keeper definitely has it! Spencer was knowledgeable, attentive, and provided a stimulating environment for our bird. We appreciated the updates and came home to a relaxed and content macaw. Top-notch service and will definitely have her watch our macaw again!

Spencer has such a passion for animals and has always gone above and beyond in her care of any of our furry and feathered family members. I highly recommend using her, you and your animals will not regret it. She is amazing.

Spencer was an outstanding pet sitter for our two kitties, Olive and Monty. Olive had lots of meds she needed, and Spencer did wonderfully making sure she got her medication. She was attentive, thoughtful, professional, and most of all, super caring. Would recommend her to anyone!

From the moment I contacted Spencer, I knew my furry family members were in the best possible hands. Leaving my beloved elder kitties always fills me with anxiety, but with Spencer, she completely put my mind at ease.

Her compassion shines through in every interaction. I felt so respected as a pet owner, knowing my instructions were not just followed but embraced with love and care.

While I was away, I received regular updates and adorable photos that brightened my days. It was clear that Spencer didn't just "watch" my pets; She showered them with affection and attention, just as I would. Coming home to happy and relaxed animals was the greatest reassurance.

If you're looking for a pet sitter who treats your companions with the same love and respect you do, look no further. The Critter Keeper is a true gem!

I wholeheartedly recommend her services and will absolutely be a returning client.

Spencer has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to taking care of our awesome furry crew! She has looked after our two cats and two dogs on multiple occasions, always doing an incredible job.

Honestly, knowing Spencer is a vet tech gives us such huge peace of mind. It means she understands animals, their behaviors, and can manage anything from minor issues to recognizing when something more serious might need attention. That kind of expertise is truly priceless, and it sets her apart.
Beyond that, she is super reliable, trustworthy, and just genuinely caring. Our pets absolutely love her, even our usually nervous kitty (which is the real test)! And we always appreciate the regular photo updates she sends during each visit. Seeing our cats relaxed and our dogs happy is reassuring and lets us know they're truly in the best hands.

We can't recommend Spencer enough if you're looking for a responsible, caring, and skilled pet sitter. She treats our pets like her own, and we're just so grateful for her amazing service!

Spencer has been my cat Phoebe’s pet sitter ever since we moved to Lake Oswego several years ago. Being the daughter of a veterinarian myself, I have always been extremely cautious about whom I use to care for my pets. The fact that Spencer is an experienced vet tech was one reason I chose her to care for Phoebe, who at 19, needs medications and special attention. Just as important, is Spencer’s loving presence, her attention to detail, her communication with me when I’m out of town, and her reliability. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Spencer cared for our 2 dogs and 3 birds for a week. She met with us before the trip and was so kind and obviously really loves animals.
She has a varied and extensive background in animal care, and all this allowed us to feel super comfortable leaving our animals in her care.
She was communicative during her stay, even sending us a few photos of the pups. Everyone was happy and healthy when we returned (and our home was left clean...a nice plus).
After she met with us following the trip to return our key, one of our dogs waited by the door for about 20 minutes hoping she'd return (a great sign!). I highly recommend The Critter Keeper for your pet care needs.

Spencer is a great pet caregiver! She has been my go-to Pet Sitter for a couple years now! She always takes great care of my little ratties. I feel a big peace of mind every time I leave on trip, and she is caring for them.

Can't recommend her enough!
