Dog Sitting Adair Village

About: I’ve had pets all my life and have been caring for dogs and cats for 20+ years—both my own and others’. I have dog/cat and house sat for neighbors, friends and family for years. I’m a dependable, loving sitter who treats every animal like family. Whether your pet needs play, snuggles, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for anxious and high energy dogs. You can count on me to care for them as if they were my own! I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s needs and routine. As an online student, I have a very flexible schedule and can usually accommodate daytime, evening, and weekend visits. I care for my own family's dog daily and have helped care for her in her senior health struggles. I have become accustomed to administering medications, additional support with diet and feeding time, and monitoring her health through physical and behavioral changes. I'm not currently able to currently able to dog sit at my own home due to my elderly nonsocial dog. You can count on me to be communicative, respectful of your home, and most importantly, to care for your pets as if they were my own! I'm currently working as a student to earn an online certification. My schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate my schedule to meet your pets needs. I'm very trustworthy, reliable, and respectful. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. I will also respect and care for your home, knowing It is your safe, private space.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds for years. I’m able to walk, bathe, and snuggle your pets . I will give them all the love while you’re away. I am a homemaker with free availability, I am usually home meal prepping or tending to the garden. I am flexible with schedules and routines to fit your needs. I have a home with a fenced yard in NW Albany. I have two doodles in my home. We spend a lot of time outdoors especially in the morning. I involve them in the afternoon activities as well when I go out to garden. Lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats are shared and are given throughout the day.

About: Since childhood I have been around dogs and have developed a passion for caring for and bonding with them. I have raised two dogs of my own from puppy-hood, one of whom is now a senior dog who requires a little extra care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and when I am pet-sitting, I treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I have a passion for bonding with animals and making them feel seen and comfortable. I have experience administering medicine and have mitigated many situations with potentially aggressive dogs. In the course of my career I have encountered many different dogs on different properties and always make it a priority to visit with them (if they allow it) and make them feel comfortable and non-threatened. I am a full-time student, but with half of my classes being online, I have room to focus on pet-sitting. Animals are my passion and I will make sure that your pets are a priority. I will ensure that ample time and attention is given to your fur babies. I seek to get as much information as possible about the best way to care for your pets so thet I can care for them properly. I offer drop-in care and house-sitting care, all of which is dependent on your needs and comfort level. As I am a guest in you and your pets' space, I ensure that your pets feel safe and have ample time to focus on walks or other activities.

About: I am an animal lover! Throughout my life I've had many dogs and cats, as well as additional pets. I have years of experience providing pet care to many families. I understand how important it is to know your beloved family members are receiving the best possible care! I strive to ensure the animals under my care are safe, happy, and loved. (: I currently work full time with somewhat irregular hours during the day. I am able to stop in for visits throughout the day while on breaks! I am always available at night when staying with your pets :) I do my best to foster an environment of open communication between myself and my clients, and work with you to develop a plan that works best for your home and pets. My attention to detail, previous experience, and personal skills allow me to handle any unexpected challenges with ease.

“Emily was amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated every visit with sweet pictures, and it was clear how happy and relaxed they were in every one. She spent quality time playing with them and made sure they were tired out and content by the end of each visit. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and connects with animals!”

“Gabriella took wonderful care of our kitties! We knew they were in great hands with her specialized knowledge and attention to their needs. Certainly hope to rebook with her again in future!”

About: Taking a break from being a pet foster to pet sit again. I was a vet tech for 8 years and I have owned pets for 30 years. I can administer any medications needed. I will also watch dogs that have behavioral issues and I have no breed restrictions. My schedule provides the ability to watch puppies and provide them with the frequent play and bathroom breaks they need. I can also take your pet to any appointments they may have while you are out of town. I am unable to watch pets in my home. I will take your dog on hikes with me if you want or will take them on a stroll in your neighborhood. My work allows me to work from home so when I am pet sitting, I am able to spend a lot of time with your pet. When I am taking care of someone's pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I know that keeping their routine helps to minimize any stress of their owner being away.

“Bailey was the perfect drop-in walker for my super high energy dog. Very communicative and sent great pictures too!”

About: Animal care has been a part of my whole life. I've always had a pet, whether they were cats or dogs. No matter the size, age, or breed of the pet, I understand to respect their boundaries and be mindful of their safety. Spoiling and playing with pets is the easiest task on the planet. I'm a part-time college instructor. My hours are extremely flexible, so I can happily take a break from grading to pop in for a pet. I first and foremost will defer to the owner's instructions and requests. For pop in care, I will check basic needs first: food/water/litter box/potty breaks. Then comes socializing or any other request from the owner. Weather permitting, I like to take dogs out for fetch, chase, tug-a-war, or casual walks. What we do is sometimes determined by the breed of dog. For cats, I understand that play is up to them. I'm happy to engage in any way they prefer. My own cat is a fiend for a string.

“Thanks so much for taking care of our fur babies again.”

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a teen. I love walking and have experience with reactive, shy, and energetic dogs and cats. I have been referred time and again for my reliability and individualized attention to each animal I encounter. I have a very flexible schedule and I am looking to fill my time and energy with extra pet support for anyone who's in need! I am happy to walk in your neighborhood, take your pup for a hike and just hang out at home for the nervous or senior dogs. I can work with your routine and your pets individual needs.

About: I've been around dogs intermittently, ranging from small to large, lazy to active, and administered medicine to elderly dogs as well. I understand that every dog is different and will do my very best to accommodate to each and every dog I take care of. I have a very open availability, I'm only away for ~10hrs spread out between two days during the weekdays. I can pop for however long or stay for a couple of hours! Whatever the pet needs I can provide. I keep a watchful, attentive eye on the pets I care for. I give them my full attention when playing with them, and whenever they ask for attention. I treat all animals with respect and play with them in a style suited for each individual personality.

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own two dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's unique personality. With my second dog especially, I took an active role in training and behavior development, learning how to use positive reinforcement and establish routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. I regularly help friends by providing midday potty breaks and companionship for their dogs when they're at work or traveling. This has given me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and household routines. I understand how important it is to follow each pet's specific schedule, respect house rules, and provide the attention and exercise they're used to. I know that every dog is different - some need lots of playtime and stimulation, while others prefer quiet companionship. I'm comfortable with basic commands, can recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and always prioritize the pet's safety and well-being above all else. I currently work part-time, which gives me excellent flexibility for pet care services. I'm available every weekday after 3pm and have full availability on weekends. This schedule works perfectly for dog walks, evening pet visits, and weekend pet sitting when families are traveling. My part-time work arrangement means I can be consistent and reliable with your pet's routine. Whether you need daily walks, midday check-ins, or weekend care, I can accommodate regular schedules and provide the consistency that pets thrive on. I'm also available for last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand that pets need care even when their families are working full days, and my afternoon and weekend availability is ideal for busy pet parents who want to ensure their furry family members get attention and exercise while they're away. During pet check-ins, I focus on making sure each animal gets the individual attention and care they need. I always let dogs spend as much time outside as they want - whether that's a quick potty break or a longer play session in the yard. I pay attention to their energy level and preferences that day. I believe quality time is just as important as meeting basic needs, so I make sure to engage with each pet through play, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For more active dogs, I'm happy to take them on short walks during my visit to give them extra exercise and mental stimulation. I follow the specific instructions and routines that pet parents provide, but I also adapt to what the pet seems to need in the moment. Some days they might want to play fetch, other days they just want someone to sit with them. I always make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, and that they seem comfortable and content before I leave. I provide updates to pet parents so they know how their furry family member is doing, including any highlights from our time together.

About: I've taken care of my neighbors dogs since I was 15. Also usually have pets around me at my workplace. I live with my own kitties now! I am a full time student and part-time worker, but I have plenty of time for house/pet sitting overnight at client's homes. I love to go on walks with pets, too. I can stay over night at client's home and then leave in the morning, stopping by your home ever few hours for the pets as needed.

“We had a great experience with Caitlin caring for our cats. She was always prompt with feeding times, and made sure to spend quality time playing with the cats. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was, with all of the written feedback and photos she took during each visit. We would be happy to book her again!”

About: I love working with dogs and taking them out on walks. I love training dogs (walking on leash, no pulling/sit/stay, no darting when door opens). I'm pretty flexible. My current work schedule allows me to be off by 3pm-4pm on most week days and I'm free every weekend. Just let me know if you have any questions. I have a fully fenced back yard and a friendly Silver Lab. I have extra crates, dog cots/elevated dog beds, treats and food if needed. Side note, I also have a Flemish Giant rabbit (Pistachio), he loves dogs but has his own room for his private space.

About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. I’ve spent years looking after neighbors’ dogs and cats, and caring for pets has honestly always been something I naturally gravitated toward. I have experience with all kinds of dogs — young puppies, senior dogs, huge breeds, tiny breeds, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, trained dogs, and dogs that still need a little patience and structure. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs because I understand every pet is different. I also love volunteering at my local humane shelter, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with a wide variety of dogs and temperaments. It’s something I genuinely enjoy because I love getting to know animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, patience, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always try to provide the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, especially outside of classes since school is my main priority as an almost second-year student at Oregon State. I have reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel easily for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet care throughout the week. I care for pets and clients’ homes with a lot of respect, responsibility, and attention to detail. I always clean up after myself, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe mutual trust and respect are extremely important when caring for someone’s home and animals.

About: I've had dogs since I was three years old, I took care of my golden retriever in her senior years, and my current small dog when she was a puppy and well into her adult years. I've been lucky enough to cat-sit multiple times for family and friends. I've always loved feeding, walking, photographing, and playing with animals and I know that they love me too <3. I'm a part-time student in Oregon, so my schedule is flexible. I can see your pet anytime between classes and before or after school, or on weekends. I am happy to take care of your pet at either your house or mine, depending on you and your pet's needs. My apartment in Corvallis has an off-leash dog pen where I can watch your dog safely socialize with other dogs. When I'm in Colorado for break, I can see your pet at any time and I can take care of them at your house or my house with a fully fenced backyard and friendly small dog. When I'm watching your pet, I will make sure they are well taken care of being fed, given medicine, walked, and enriched to my best ability. I love to take pictures of your dear pet and send them to you so you know how well they are doing. I make sure to lock doors and clean up in your home. I am happy to follow all care instructions to ensure a good experience for you and your beloved pets!

About: I've taken care of animals since childhood. On the farm, I took care of chickens, cattle, cats, and dogs. I have experience with exotic pets. I've worked in an animal shelter, several veterinary clinics, and attended veterinary school for nearly 2 years. I'm very comfortable with giving medications and senior care. I’m able to care for pets daily during the week and over the weekends, and I can provide care in the middle of the day as well. I think it’s so important to care for a pet in their own home where they will feel the most comfortable, and I strive to keep to their routine to ease anxiety. I’m very respectful of the homes I pet sit in, and I always leave the place spotless.
