House Sitting in Alder

“Jeffrey did a wonderful job with Meli. There have been a number of changes in our life recently, which have left Meli quite anxious, particularly about being left alone in the house. Jeffrey went above and beyond to spend time with Meli, calming her over the week, playing with her, and just hanging out with her. This calmed her considerably, and we came home to a happy, healthy dog!”

“Alyssa was flexible, communicative, and professional. As my plans changed, Alyssa adapted smoothly and made my time away worry-free!”

“Teri did a great job taking care of our animals while we were gone. We received many pictures of them over the weekend and never wondered or felt worried about how they were doing. She left our house just as clean and it was when she got there. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Ashley watched our two cats and house sat while we were away. She was very professional during our meet and greet and asked all the right questions. Ashley was incredibly responsive when we had reached out and sent us daily pictures. We knew that our little fur babies were loved and cared for while in her care. Once you meet her, it’s clear how much Ashley loves animals. We look forward to having her cat sit again for us in the future!”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I am highly knowledgeable about dog care, behavior, and overall well-being. I have experience helping whelp puppies and have cared for and trained dogs throughout every stage of life, from puppies to seniors. I currently have a senior dog myself, giving me firsthand experience with the special attention older pets need. In addition to dogs, I have farm experience caring for horses, pigs, chickens, and other animals. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same love and attention I give my own animals. Let’s plan a day for me to come do a meet and greet :) I currently work full time, but I am transitioning to part-time in the near future to dedicate even more time to pet care. Until then, I am available on weekends and am committed to providing dependable, attentive care to every pet I look after. As my schedule becomes more flexible, I look forward to expanding my availability and spending even more time doing what I love most—caring for animals. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and I am dedicated to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free environment, caring for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand that many pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, and I am committed to maintaining their routines and giving them the individualized attention they deserve. With experience caring for animals of all ages, I am attentive, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and compassionate.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, and pet-sitting professionally for over 10 years now. I am particularly experienced and confident in caring for senior animals, pets needing medication, and those who are particularly shy or need that extra emotional consideration. You'll notice me take the extra time to get to know your pet and the nuances of their personality and needs. I offer animals the slowness and presence needed for deep listening and attunement: two qualities that help build trust. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and good at communication. I'm used to planning my schedule and time around the needs of the animals I'm caring for, and am always ready to apply my extensive knowledge for unexpected situations that may arise. Some of my recent clients include a rowdy pack of 5 dogs of various size and breed, a senior cat with hyperthyroidism who switches her food preferences daily, a blind and deaf senior dog who loves to play, and a farm sanctuary with over 20 animals, including pigs rescued from a neglect situation and feral cats being socialized for the first time. If your animal needs a bit more time and care to feel comfortable around someone new, takes medication or is navigating ongoing health conditions, or is at higher likelihood of needing veterinarian intervention while you're away, these are situations where I have both experience and confidence. For me, animal care isn't just about completing all the tasks that need to be done for the well-being of our animal family members. It's about creating a relationship of trust with the animals relying on me, as well as their human guardians. Entrusting your beloved pet to another person, as well as opening your home to them, is something you deserve to feel secure and confident in. And your pet deserves to feel truly cared for, understood, and prioritized while you're away. With my years of experience both personally and professionally, and my special skills for medical and emotional complexity, I know I can provide a pet-care experience where trust flows in all directions. Pet-care is my main job (and joy) which I orient the rest of my living schedule around. I have lots of flexibility to form my schedule around your animal's needs. My most commonly booked form of pet-sitting is overnight care in the pet's home. This can put the pets at ease and lets them maintain their usual routines. I have lots of experience doing overnights, and am a clean, considerate, and respectful house guest, to the recommendation of all of my clients (happy to give references). I also offer visits / drop-ins throughout the day, and am consistent and timely in these visits.

“Sandor is an absolute dream sitter! He’s very responsive and friendly, took care of fur babies and our home, and he found ways to go above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. He’s by far the best sitter we’ve ever had on this site and we’ll certainly check his availability first the next time we need a sitter. 10/10 recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Jaedyn, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets. Growing up, my family fostered over 10 dogs over the years, which gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care needs from an early age. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals throughout my life. One of my biggest passions was raising, breeding, and showing rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of consistent care, attention to health, and understanding animal behavior. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible routine, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. I aim to provide pets with consistency and attention so they can stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or behavioral quirks, I believe clear communication helps create the best experience for everyone. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Having cared for animals my entire life—from foster dogs to rabbits, cats, and small pets—I’m comfortable adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and care needs. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.

“Paula sent us pictures of our pup while we were away which we loved. Our house was clean and in order when we got home. We have booked with Paula before and she has always been great!”

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life I grew up surrounded by cats and that love has never faded. Your pet isn't just a client to me, they're family. I have a flexible schedule and am fully dedicated to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I follow your routines closely and will keep you updated with photos and check ins so you never have to worry. Please share any details about your pet's routine, diet, or medications the more I know, the better I can care for them I have a lot of free time currently on my hands and I will make sure that your pet is taken care of just like if you were home. I would follow every direction that you told me. And I will make sure that the cats feel loved and that they feel at home.

“I booked Avery for an extended stay to watch my two cats, one of them requires some extra maintenance due to neurological issues, and she did great! Avery provided photos, and it was clear both my cats had warmed up to her. Communication was clear and consistent when it was needed! Not only was Avery great with the cats, but my house was left in great condition. Returning from travel is always stressful, but I walked into an absolutely spotless home, which really helped. Would highly recommend Avery 😌 and will definitely look to book her again in the future!”

“This was my first time booking with Kitty. She did an excellent job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. I felt I was able to relax more on my trip knowing he was in good care. 10/10 would book again.”

“Outstanding! Kelly is professional and caring. We have 2 Boxers and not everyone can handle their quirks and their strength but she handled them beautifully and we felt confident they were in great hands. She left our home spotless and we had 2 happy pups when we arrived home. We highly recommend Kelly!”

About: I started taking care of animals when I was really young I think around 6 years old I would take care of my neighbor's dog was a little Pomeranian when they would go places. Also my neighbor had a Irish setter that I would go visit all the time and she would give me a dollar to walk her around the block or talking at least 48 years ago and I still remember it to this day it was one of the best times in my life when I was young. I think I've decided that I want to dedicate my life to this I mean what's left of it anyway lol I've been working with people most of my life and I thought I'd give this a try so daily routine and weekly routine would be up to the customer and it would be your preference after all you're the boss right? I've been a caregiver since 1998 of people I had five background checks last year for the state of Oregon I work for Oregon health Care commission and I'm a caregiver I passed five of them so you would not have to worry about me being in your home I would offer the services that you were requesting and you would also go beyond even more than what you would expect I think I would be a good fit with for anybody I'm an older lady and I've got a lot of grandchildren so I figured taking care of your for a babies and I would treat them like my grandbabies or you would say fur babies. Customer would be my boss so therefore I would do what they would ask.
