Pet Sitting Amity

“Kristina was great! My cats are pretty standoffish and she made a point of varying her drop in time to make sure that she could get eyes on both of them and know they were ok. It was really nice to know that they were cared for while I was away, huge stress relief for my trip.”

“Allison was great! This was the second time she had taken care of my cats and she was very communicative and great with my fur babies. Would use her again!”

About: I've lived my whole life around pets, specifically cats and dogs. My family and friends alike all relied on me for pet sitting care which included regular dog walking and extended, overnight stays. I'm currently not working and only going to school. When I do get a job, it will only be part-time and I'll update my schedule accordingly. As of right now, I have ample time for frequent check-in's and overnight stays, especially in Yamhill County. I unfortunately do not offer pet care at my personal home, but am willing to stay overnight at client's homes. I believe in leaving places better than I found them, AKA no trace left behind!

About: I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one unique. I treat every dog with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I have experience caring for dogs of various ages and breeds, as well as multi-dog households in a variety of settings. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and at ease. Pet care is my full-time focus, and my schedule is built around providing dependable, attentive care for the pets and families I work with. I prioritize consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I provide care exclusively within my clients’ homes, as I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. Throughout all services, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal schedule while providing companionship, exercise, structure, and attentive care. I respect each client’s home as if it were my own and value cleanliness, security, and clear communication. I also provide regular updates and photos for added peace of mind and carefully follow all care requests.

“Emma was so amazing with Loki! She did drop in visits for us over Christmas and did such a great job. Thank you again Emma!”

“Megan did a fantastic job watching my three dogs for me. She met with us all prior to our booking so she can get an interaction with the dogs before being alone in the house. I was really impressed with the communication, and reporting back on things she observed with them and their interactions. I would recommend Megan for peace of mind with your animals. My dogs already are excited when I say her name.”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my combination of reliability, versatility, and genuine love for animals. I prioritize building a strong bond with each pet under my care, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved in my presence. I have lots of experience that allow me to cater to the individual needs of each pet. Whether it’s administering medication, providing plenty of exercise, or providing specialized care, I have the skills to handle it all! I understand the importance of communication with pet owners. I provide regular updates and pictures and am always available to address any concerns or questions they may have. I always strive to give owners peace of mind while away from their pets, and make sure they know their furry friend is in capable loving hands. My commitment to excellence, adaptability, and genuine passion for animals set me apart as a pet sitter who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every pet I care for. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I allocate specific time slots each day for feeding, exercise, and playtime with the pets under my care. This ensures they receive the attention and activity they need to stay happy and healthy. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I tailor my services based on the specific needs of the pet and the client’s preferences. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pet, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve.

“Alivia was great with our two golden retrievers! She did drop ins for us during the day while we were working. She brought our dogs toys and treats. Phoebe and Winston give this rover sitter a A++! We will definitely use Alivia in the future!”

About: I've taken care of many animals in my life. Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, fish, and a large list of dog breeds/sizes all 25 years I've been alive. I've also been training dogs since I was young. It's something I'm very passionate about and love assisting people with it. I enjoy training and working with dogs. They're my passion and my life revolves around my 3 boys, they're my everything and they keep me busy which I need. I will ask that if your dog isn't trained that I know in advance so preparations can be made. I take Kiba and Ryuk, and Champion on multiple walks and play vigorously. We also do lots of mental stimulation alongside physical exercise. We also train multiple times daily.

“Marisa took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was so helpful when we asked her last minute to watch our girl. Appreciate her flexibility and communication! Would definitely rebook in the future :)”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with cats as a kid and later helping with my mother-in-law’s Jack Russell terrier and Siberian husky, as well as my own 100 lb English Lab. During my five years as a rural letter carrier, I earned the nickname "the dog whisperer" for my ability to befriend even wary farm dogs on my routes. Since then, I’ve looked after a mix of local pets, including a reactive Lab-Shepherd and a few energetic pit bull mixes. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and pets trust me quickly. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule while I pursue my Master's in Behavioral Health. I value structure and routine, which makes it easy for me to keep pets on their normal schedule. Spending time with animals is grounding and rewarding. It balances the intensity of my studies and keeps my days centered on care, calm, and connection. I provide attentive and responsible care for pets, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and overall well-being. In my care, I ensure that feeding schedules are followed, environments are clean and secure, and that pets have appropriate stimulation through play or companionship. I maintain open communication with pet owners, report any health or behavioral concerns promptly, and adapt my care routines to each pet’s unique needs and temperament. My experience in customer service, time management, and careful attention to detail ensures a reliable and trustworthy environment for all animals under my supervision.

About: I was a veterinary technician (2 years) with experience caring for both small and large animals, and I spent four years rescuing and fostering animals. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic with a strong focus on emergency medicine, so I’ve seen firsthand how quickly things can go wrong and know what to watch for when it comes to your pet’s health and safety. I was a hospital technician for one year, meaning my job was to monitor patients, give medication, and notify the vet to any health changes. I plan to attend veterinary school in the near future, and in my free time I do TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for feral cats and volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I also minored in Human-Animal Relations, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and how they think. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, and safety is always my number-one priority. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall health, and I will never put your pet in an unsafe situation. Mostly, though, I’m just a HUGE animal lover. Getting to spend time caring for your pet genuinely feels like a treat to me. My favorite dog breeds are probably pit bulls and corgis, but my favorite animal will always be a cat. :) Boarding & Day Care I also have the perfect property for boarding, overnight stays, or day care! I live on a beautiful 5 acre property with 3 acres being a large fenced pasture where dogs can safely stretch their legs and explore. I’m a horse trainer, so I’m on the property every day and your dog will have plenty of supervision and attention. I’m also very careful about keeping dogs separated when appropriate. I do have a very friendly Lab who loves having dog friends, but they only interact if you’re comfortable with it and give me permission. The property has everything a dog could want for a little vacation- large grassy pastures, a creek, and wooded areas to explore. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and downtime. Most dogs leave happy, tired, and ready for a good nap! :) I’m also located less than 2 minutes from Silver Creek Animal Clinic, which provides emergency animal care. I pray nothing ever happens but it is conveniently close. Currently all proceeds are going towards childhood horse’s cancer treatment 😔 she took care of me as a youth so now it’s my turn to take care of her. I recently started my own horse training business, so I work primarily from my property and have an extremely flexible schedule. This makes pet care a really natural fit into my day! I feed and care for my horses around 8 AM and 5 PM, and I spend the middle of the day working and training them. I work with my Mom so she can care for the horses when I need to take care of your pets. During breaks between rides and training sessions, I’m able to spend time with the dogs, whether that means letting them run and play in the pasture, going for a walk, giving them some one-on-one attention, or just hanging out together. Working a horse takes about 45 minutes, where your dog will be left in a covered run where they can potty if needed. Because I’m on the property throughout the day, I can also accommodate early-morning or late-night drop-offs, bathroom breaks, walks, and other schedules that might be difficult for someone with a traditional 9–5 job. Your pet gets to be part of my everyday routine rather than being left alone for long stretches of time. I have plenty of space for dogs to exercise and explore, and I’m able to give them frequent attention throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent routine for my horses. I do not mix dogs and horses! I keep them very separate. Your dog’s stay will feel more like a little vacation than a traditional boarding facility! I have a 3-acre fenced pasture where dogs can safely run, explore, and get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I’m here throughout the day to supervise and spend time with the dogs. I keep all boarders separated from one another, unless you are dropping off more than one dog :) I also have a very friendly Lab who absolutely loves having dog friends, and I’m happy to let her play with your dog if allowed. You can see her in my photos. Otherwise, your dog gets their own space and one-on-one attention. I can get away with the your dog never knowing there is other dogs on property. There are several comfortable options for your pet depending on their needs and your preferences. Dogs have access to comfortable dog mats and fresh water, as well as a covered run where they can go outside and potty even when the weather isn’t cooperating. I also have large, heated horse stalls that can be used as comfortable private spaces. For dogs who are potty trained and comfortable in a home environment, they can also spend time inside my house or have their own room. I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re most comfortable with. Oregon winters can be rainy, but your dog won’t be stuck inside all day. When the weather is wet, they can run and play in my indoor arena or barn, which are both warm and provide plenty of room to move around. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and supervision. I’m on the property every day, keep boarders separated, and make sure every dog has fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and attention. Whether they’re running through the pasture, exploring the property, relaxing in the house, or curling up for a nap, I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re here.

About: I live in Salem but drive up to Portland several times a week. So If you live in the Portland or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is theirs? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

“Paige is AMAZING and made Mickey and Ivy feel so comfortable - I don't know if they're going to want us to come back 😅 They're normally pretty skittish cats but Paige was patient with them and gained their trust. Cannot recommend Paige more!”

About: Pet sitter since 2006 and lifelong fur-parent. I love walking, playing, and learning your companion's personality. Rest easy knowing they are safe, loved, and happy! I'm currently taking online college courses and come January I will be working full-time remotely. I have the flexibility for plenty of walks and play with your four-legged companion. I'm very interested in finding a housesit on the OR coast for the Christmas/New Year holiday, so if you're traveling and need someone, let's talk. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your established routine to ensure consistency and comfort. I provide nutritious feeding, fresh water, and multiple daily walks filled with play and affection. Additionally, I prioritize home security, maintain open communication with frequent updates or photos, and treat your space with utmost respect so your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away.

“Tabitha took care of Cyrus for me when I was out of town on short notice!! She was great with a large doggie and showed cute pics each day. We'll hopefully use her in the future!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was young. I grew up with all types of animals, I started my own dog walking business as a teenager and have continued to care for dogs ever since. I have been working with clients both on and off Rover for more than 10 years. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I understand that each one has unique needs and personalities. I take pride in providing personalized, loving care to ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend, and give them the attention and affection they deserve while you’re away! I am currently working part time, so my availability is flexible and I am able to work around you and your animals needs. Since I work evenings I prioritize spending time with and exercising your animals during the day so they can rest for the few hours I’m gone. I take into consideration you and your pets routines to create a schedule and environment we’ll all feel safe in. I will take dogs on hikes or neighborhood walks but will always keep a dog on leash unless the owner is comfortable and the dog has great recall. I will not take dogs to the dog park even if they can go with their owners just as a safety precaution. I prioritize frequent communication so an owner can feel assured their pet is being taken care of in the way they feel is best.
