Sit Stay Forever – For the Love of Pets, People, and the Planet

At Sit Stay Forever, we’ve spent well over a decade crafting the safest, cleanest, and most planet-friendly pet beds, toys, treats, and grooming products—because our pets deserve nothing less. Every product we make is designed to protect the health of your dog or cat, your home, and our planet.

A Founder’s Lifelong Expertise

Our founder brings a lifetime of animal care experience—riding and training eventing and show jumping horses, caring for dogs and cats, and understanding their unique needs from a scientific and practical perspective. With both a BS and MS in Natural Resources with concentrations in Biology and Genetics, this deep academic foundation ensures every decision is backed by science and a commitment to animal wellness and environmental responsibility.

Growing up in the Adirondacks and later working in music and design in New York City, our founder has always been surrounded by animals—whether horses, dogs, or cats—while building a career rooted in creativity, sustainability, and animal care. Sit Stay Forever is the natural extension of that lifelong passion.

Science, Sustainability, and Safety

Born on the rugged coast of Maine, our products are built with equal parts science, soul, and sustainability. We choose organic materials, eliminate harmful chemicals, and work with local vendors whenever possible. There’s no greenwashing here—only chemically safe, non-toxic products that are as good for your pet as they are for the planet.

Why We Do It

We believe pets are family. They make us laugh, give us comfort, and stand by us through every stage of life. Our mission is to return that devotion through products that promote their health, comfort, and happiness—while protecting the environment they (and we) depend on.

Doing Better, Together

Every choice we make—whether selecting safe fabrics, minimizing our footprint, or supporting local suppliers—is part of a bigger picture: making life better for pets, people, and the planet. At Sit Stay Forever, safety comes first, love lasts forever, and you never have to choose between your pet’s wellness and the Earth’s future.
