My name is Hedy Gurtner and I am the owner and operator of Hedy's Pet Sitting. I provide high quality, professional pet sitting services to the Mid Columbia River Gorge Area, Oregon and Washington side.

As a life-long pet owner who always tried to use pet sitters as opposed to kennels, I understand first-hand the benefits of leaving your animals in their own comfort zone. I also appreciate the level of trust you place in the person who cares for your pets and home. I have extensive experience in caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, rabbits, goats, alpacas and horses.

I take great pride in building lasting relationships  with the animals I look after, as well as with their owners. My clients appreciate my attention to detail and extraordinary care for their most precious possessions. You can leave home with absolute peace of mind that everything will be taken care of, beyond all expectations.

As a trained veterinary technician I am experienced in high-needs pets who might need like sub-Q fluids daily and/or are diabetic in need of insulin injections. I also practice Positive Motivational Dog Partnership Training, Tellington Touch, and Natural Horsemanship.

At the moment our family consists of three wonderful cats (Tiggy 13y., Gwitterkiste 10y., Eule 6y.), two very special dogs Gumpi (Bernese Mountain Dog, 5y.) and Kima (Great Pyrenese mix, 7 mo.), and two adorable horses Felix (Quarter horse, 20 y.) and Abahachi (Paint, 13y.). They live on a five acres property three miles out of Mosier, OR. They also own my husband Andy whose connections with animals is absolutely amazing (even though he has no clue how he does it!), and of course myself, who feels a dream come true for all of us to have the opportunity to live in such a wonderful region like the Columbia River Gorge.
