“Jennifer took great care of our baby and sent us cute pictures of our dog throughout our trip! Our dog was able to feel confident around Jennifer pretty quickly - which typically takes a couple of weeks (our dog is shy) and actually Milka even trusted enough to be brushed (from which she walks away even with me sometimes 😅) we are super happy!”


“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”


“Vicki is absolutely awesome! She spoils our kiddoes - & they love it! So nice to have someone like Vicki take such good care of our elder Emma. Special attention is so appreciated. Thank you!”


“Kim did a fabulous job taking care of my home and my two fur babies. She provided me with updates and pictures that definitely showed how comfortable they were in her presence. I will definitely use her in the future, she is my go-to sitter.”


About: Well I’ve had cats all my life but I do love dogs! I have done over night(s)! I love taking dogs for walks & to parks to run around and possibly play with other dogs I’ve helped with a friend of mine dogs while his other family members were off on a camping trip so I took them out for potty a few times a day, feed them, & played with them. I’m definitely an animal lover who loves being outdoors and helping out if and when needed I’ve been told multiple times that I’m a cat/dog whisperer if you know what I mean by that. If there is anything in particular you wanna know feel free to ask. I currently am a homemaker and do have my own vehicle. I currently have a very open schedule but I do not drive. My partner drives me (or animals!) wherever I need to go. First things first I like to have a conversation with the clients about their pet specific needs and schedules. If a, “In-home” pet sitting is needed, I also like to go over any house or home rules. This can vary depending on the animal.

“Kimberly took great care of our dog and cat while we were away. They both were happy and healthy upon our return. She also did great with our household chores and cleaned everything thoroughly before her departure, including leaving a detailed description of completed tasks. We would recommend her and will likely use her services again.”


“Jodi was absolutely amazing! She stayed in our home with our three hounds and we could tell from the photos that she sent that they were happy and relaxed. She is definitely part of my speed dial now! We returned to our home with happy hounds and a super clean house! I would HIGHLY recommend her!”


“Alison was great! She asked good questions during the meet & greet and was very personable. She sent pictures throughout her stay. We came home to a clean house. Our cat is happy! We would definitely book her again.”


“This is the second time we've had Erica stay with our 3 cats while we've been away. Once again she did a fabulous job caring for them. She sent several pictures throughout the stay which helped us know that they were thriving and comfortable in her care. Upon departure, she left our house clean and tidy. Thank you Erica! We will definitely book you again.”


About: I'm responsible and loving and you'll never need to worry about your family member. I have over 70 years of animal caregiving. I'm happy to provide photos and updates while you're away to increase your comfort and ensure your pets are being cared for. I'm open to pet sitting any time, as this is my main source of employment. I'm happy to house sit, pet sit, or do daily drop-ins. I have a long-standing relationship in the community. Our family farm was well-respected for seven decades. I treat your family loved ones like one of our own.


“Zeva was great with our pups when we needed to leave home offering photos & videos of how they were doing. Scheduling was flexible, responses timely, and great to work with on. Our dogs require daily meds and a little extra care so we were thrilled to find them. Highly recommen Zeva! 🐾❤️”


“Daemon did a great job! Boba, our highly energetic little chug mix, was happy, healthy, and very loved, We got daily photo updates and Daemon was communicative. House looked great when ewe came home.”


About: I currently have two dogs and experience with all types and breeds. I work from home and take the dogs for walks/runs on Gearhart beach. I am a very attentive dog mom. I have experience with dog medications, wound car, injections, tick removal. I work from home and am very attentive to dogs and ensuring they are well cared for. I regularly take dogs to the beach which is 1/2 a mile away and they run and play. I have two friendly dogs and a large, but unfenced, yard. Dogs have free reign in the house and can use the furniture and beds.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My dogs are truly my best friends, and my most favorite things to do are play with them, walk them, and take them down to the beach. I get so much joy from being with dogs, and would love to be available to help people with their doggies whenever needed! I’m currently home for the summer, between school years as an English teacher in Madrid, Spain. Right now, I’m enjoying time on the Oregon coast and working on my Spanish, so I have plenty of availability, and lots of motivation, for pet care! My approach to caring for pets in my home and my client’s home is one of attention to individual needs. I know that every pet is different, and every pet has different needs. I would want to know from my clients how best to make their pet comfortable and cared for. Whether the dog likes to play lots, walk, run, or just hangout, I want to make sure that time away from their family can still feel like home.

About: I make sure your pet feels like a member of the family, not only are they smart, they need attention to make sure they can have trust. I have nothing but time and attention to give. I love to have fun, that's what life's all about, getting out there and having adventures. Any new opportunity is what pushes me into the next day, can't wait to meet you and hear your story. As a type one diabetic, I know how important special needs are, especially for pets, any medication, any set schedule, anything to make sure your animal has a long and fruitful life in your family

About: 20 years of animal care experience. Co-founder of Sacred Pawz animal rescue, where safety, health and well-being of all animals is my number one priority. I am an RN who works remotely from home, and can work from anywhere. My home is on 5 acres and I can board up to 2 dogs from the same household in my home, they just become part of the family while boarding with me. I can also do in home sits since my work schedule is flexible and I can work from anywhere. Safety and well-being are my top priority when watching animals. Since I run a rescue and deal with what we call “flight risks” frequently, I am well versed in how to keep dogs safe and avoid escape. As a surgical nurse for over 30 years, my medical training combined with my rescue experience of over 15 years provides me with the necessary skillsets to take care of your pets medical needs should they have any, and what to do in the case of an emergency. My work with rescue dogs has also necessitated me to work with many trainers over the years. Although not a certified trainer, I have experience in working with behaviorally challenged dogs using positive training methods. Your dog will be in competent hands either in my home or yours while I am pet sitting.

About: I am the pet sitter you are looking for!! I LOVE pets and I always have. Growing up I had a sweet dog named Roxy and I was responsible for feeding her when I was 7 years old. I continued to do so until her last day. Now in my household we have 2 adorable cats and we have had them for about 4 years. I have been trusted to watch family and friend’s pets since I was 14 years old. I will take great care of your pet and keep in touch with you the whole time! I am currently working part time at Starbucks and I get about 25 hours a week so I have plenty of time on my hands! I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass for your pet! In your home I will spend time with your pet inside and out if that is something you want.

About: Growing up on a farm, I had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals, from livestock to household pets. This hands-on experience, combined with my background in fisheries and wildlife biology, has given me a deep understanding of animal care. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, knowing I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. As a devoted dog owner, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’d be delighted to provide that same level of care for yours. I currently work Monday–Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with the flexibility of working from home about 75% of the time. This gives me decent availability depending on my schedule. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday to care for any furry friends in need. During the week, I can accommodate early morning drop-ins before 7:00 AM and late drop-ins after 3:30 PM, depending on my availability. I own a home in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood with easy access to multiple hiking trails and beaches, perfect for outdoor adventures. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and am comfortable handling walks of any length or activity level. Most importantly, I care deeply about your pet’s safety, whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them out for a walk.

About: I have done a lot of dog sitting for different families in the past 10 years. I absolutely love spending any time I can with dogs. I am currently working a full time job but am available on the weekends. I can do drop in visits on weekdays as needed though. I wouldn’t be bringing the pets to my home, but when I go to a clients house I make sure to follow all of the instructions they provide.
