How It Works

Three steps. One happy pet.

From the first message to the last belly rub — we keep it simple, transparent, and reassuringly human.

1

Reserve

Tell us about your pet — quirks, routines, the foods they actually eat. Pick the dates that work for you.

2

Match

We hand-match you with a sitter who fits your schedule, your neighborhood, and your particular pet.

3

Relax

Photos, check-ins, and an actual person you can text. Go enjoy the trip — your pet is in real, observable hands.

Our Services

Everything they need, nothing they don't.

From a quick midday walk to overnight stays, grooming, and full nutrition planning — every service delivered by a sitter who's met your pet first.

Health Check-Ups

Brief wellness assessments at every visit — coat, gait, appetite, demeanor. Anything off, you hear about it first.

Vaccination Tracking

We keep a record of your pet's shots and remind you when boosters are due. Coordinated with your vet, on your schedule.

Grooming & Bath

Bath, brush, nails, ears. We use gentle, fragrance-free products and we work at your pet's pace, not the clock's.

Obedience Training

Positive-reinforcement basics: sit, stay, recall, leash manners. Group sessions or one-on-one in your own home.

Agility & Play

Outdoor agility courses for dogs who need a job. Tunnels, weaves, jumps — sized appropriately, run safely.

Nutrition Plans

Personalized feeding schedules built around age, breed, allergies, and goals. We measure, log, and adjust monthly.

We've spent fifteen years
doing this one thing well.
Who We Are

A small team that actually shows up.

Observable Pet Care started in 2011 with one sitter, a beat-up Subaru, and a notebook of dog routines. We've grown — but only a little, and only when we found people we'd trust with our own pets.

Every sitter is bonded, insured, background-checked, and trained in pet first aid. More importantly, every sitter has been working with animals for years before they ever wear our name.

The Team

The folks behind the leash.

Three founders, every one of them a working sitter still. We don't manage from a desk.

H

Henry Palmer

Founder & Lead Sitter

Started OPC in 2011 after fifteen years of training rescues. Known for his quiet voice and an unreasonable amount of patience with shy dogs.

M

Michael Clark

Operations & Match-Maker

Runs the matching system that pairs sitters to households. Every match starts with him reading both your notes and your pet's history.

K

Kathleen Goggin

Vet Technician

Twelve years at a veterinary clinic before she joined us. Handles every health-flag, medication schedule, and emergency call we get.
