“Thank you for everything. Orion is happy his family home now but you helped him greatly when we couldn't be there, including brushing him and talking to him.”

About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).

“Amir is my new go-to dog helper! He is highly communicative, asks a lot of questions, is eager to do right by my three beasts, and always open to feedback. My dogs all seem to really like him (and two of them are pretty selective with the people they trust). Amir does a great job! And best of all, he really likes my dogs, and so I know he treats then as well as his own dog!”

About: Animals have always been a major component of my life. They tend to be drawn to me and trust in my patient compassionate nature. I enjoy training puppies basic manners and have even taught my cat a few tricks. I love being outdoors and engaging with those around me. Dogs appreciate my high energy and positive reinforcement. My schedule is pretty limited at this time. Every day but Tuesday I am either working or attending classes 11am-730pm. Depending on distance of travel it is possible to provide walks beforehand, after, or on a Tuesday. Let's connect and see how I can best assist caring for your fur baby (: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Our activities are structured around a schedule that they'd typically experience to keep stress at bay. Lots of walks, treats, snuggles and play time! Respecting pet parents requests is my top priority. Let me know your needs and we will find something that works (:

“Frank was reliable once again for us on a last minute trip we planned spread out over multiple days! We were so happy to have him again!”

About: I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, crazy cats and shy cats. I know each animal has a different way of life. I take into consideration all of their favors and sensitivities. I want each animal to feel loved and as comfortable as possible while they are away from their parents. I mostly have open availability. I usually only work at night for about five hours for about only three days a week. I have a pretty flexible schedule and if you contact me, we can work something out! I live in an apartment. I have a small backyard with no fence. I have a park nearby where I can walk dogs. I am also willing to come to the animals home and care for them there as well.

About: I have spent my whole life growing up with a wide variety of dogs and cats, and also rabbits, geckos, fish, shrimp and African dwarf frogs! Although I don’t have the resources to have a fur baby, I love and adore my aquarium and would love to care for your fur babies as well! i have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to crate my own hours, as well as work from home as much as needed. I also have the freedom of being able to come and go from my work as needed throughout the day I unfortunately do not have the space or the time to adopt and care for a pet of my own and how unfair that would be to the animal when I go back to work, but my aquarium is perfect for me! I have catfish, shrimp, and African dwarf frogs that I love and adore. I also provide very attentive and caring attention to any pets that I watch or interact with

About: Very similarly to my history with cats, I've never known a life without at least one pup in my life! Although I don't have my own dog at the moment because I have no space for pups to play, and I know they need to be able to get energy out, and an apartment isn't the best place for that, my Mom still has two dogs that I care for often. As she did with cats, my Mom bred Lhasa Apsos on several occasions, and of course, those doggies were nothing less than completely pampered(as they should be)! I've helped with everything from bathing dogs of all sizes, to walking dogs, to actually helping with delivering puppies! I've had so many breeds of dogs, each with their own personality! I've had Lhasa Apsos, Australian Shepards, Mastiffs, a Saint Bernard, Golden Retrievers, Labradoodles, Greyhounds, and more! My Mom currently has 2 Labradoodles, and I've watched/dog sat them on several occasions. I'd love to have the opportunity to get to know you and your pup(s), and help you in any way I can! If you're in need of a dogsitter, please feel free to reach out! Have a fabulous day! I don't have many times during the week where I'm not available! I will be busy on Thursday mornings until 11:30 for the next several weeks, but aside from that, I'm very flexible and can work with what you need for your schedule. I will be able to care for dogs in your home as you need me to. I can care for cats in my apartment if needed, and if you're comfortable with your cat(s) being around my kitties. No matter what, I will be able to come to you and your cat(s)/dogs(s) and help out!

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I’m very excited about meeting you’re sweet dog/(s). I have been around dogs my whole life and so they hold a special place in my heart. I love getting to meet new fur babes and I am excited to get to hang out with yours! I am fairly flexible and am happy to accommodate your pups special needs or routines. If you have any questions please feel free to call or text! I will also send you updates throughout our time together. I have a really flexible schedule so I am able to provide whatever kind of care needed. Whatever your dog likes to do I am down for! I like to take dogs to park and go on long walks or car rides depending on your dogs preference. I have experience with all kinds of dogs so I can provide them with the kind of care they receive at home!

“Diane came in the last minute when another sitter didn’t arrive. She new my pets personality and was able to work with her on her terms. Great sitter”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them is only getting stronger! Realized back in 2016, I not only wanted my own, I also wanted to take care and help save pets any way I can! I became a vet tech back in 2016. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals and also your parenting style. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets to babysitting friends & families pets to volunteering over the years as well as working since 2016 in the Vet industry in different hospitals / Pet Hotels & boarding services as well as currently working in ER! In the past I have taken in animals that needed better living situations or needed some extra training and always figured out a healthier living style for them and got them trained enough to make it easier on the owners. I'm currently working in the ER, I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I'm completely off and open on Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays for any boarding, check ins, walks, etc. On other days of the week I'm super flexible when it comes to needs being met. Message me & lets discuss what you need and how I can help! :) Pets will have full range of house, I also have a complete closed off Balcony/Patio for your pet to get some fresh air and extra space! I have a friendly dog that loves all pets to keep your fur baby company <3 I can easily crate or block off an area for your pet if needed! I am a very active individual and love going on walks with pets around my neighborhood and sometimes the occasional scenic car ride!

About: Hello! I'm Lea, someone who loves and adores pets. Recent undergrad at Purdue who just relocated to Oregon. I live with a veterinarian in training, so I have constant hands on experience with my home life on how to take care of dogs. I am Cat and Dog CPR FIRST AID Certified! I've house sitted for many of dogs when I was younger, so I have much experience with dogs. I’ve also volunteered with the humane society many of times in my free time. I find it very important to care about dogs and give dogs love and attention when their owner can't at the moment. I'm willing to help in anyway with the dogs. I especially love walking and playing with dogs! My schedule is very flexible, so I am willing to work with anyone when needed. If there are any questions,comments, or concerns please feel free to contact me. With me, I will always provide excellent care for your pets. Thank you! I recently got a new job, so I am available all day on weekends and after 5pm! I also have hour breaks so I can do check ins in between. I will work with your schedule as much as possible! I have a screened balcony that ensures your pet will be safe inside at all times. My apartment is incredibly spacious so your pet will have plenty of room to run, play, and sleep at. I also have a sweet, energized kitty that will keep your fur baby company! If your pet is uncomfortable around other pets, I have a pet gate and an extra bedroom to keep Sushi away. Otherwise if I am your house I will accommodate to any of your rules or needs.

“My cat is very shy when it comes to meeting new people. As expected, she hid when Rachael came for a meet & greet, but she came out from hiding much quicker than anticipated and even allowed Rachael to pet her. I felt comfortable leaving her in Rachael’s care knowing she was comfortable with a new person!”

About: I love allllll the animals! Not just cats and dogs, but lizards and snakes too! Tell me all about your pets. I live up on the hill by OHSU. I also spend time with my partner, their dog & 2 cats in Salem. My cat’s name is Flapjack! He’s about 18, and I’ve leash trained him. He also has a stroller. I love taking him for walks. He lets me trim his nails too! But we’ve worked up to that. I would do 1 claw at a time, followed by a treat. I also let him run his face on the clippers, and told him it’s his. Now I can sit down and trim all his claws, while he purrs. 🥹 I am a small business owner. I have 2 booths in vintage malls, and an online shop. So I’m pretty flexible, but I do typically get some work done during the week. Let me know if your pup likes adventure, or is more of a homebody. Some pups enjoy stopping by my place to do some work, and others prefer staying within their comfort zone. :) I am very respectful of other people’s space. I never go through anything in anyone’s home, or step foot in any room I’m not supposed to. I’m very respectful of instructions. I don’t allow guests over anywhere I’m sitting, unless we’ve talked about it first. I’d also like to know what your availability is like while you’re away. I send a lot of pictures and videos, but I also don’t want to bother you too much. I have ADHD and sometimes I forget things, or struggle with time blindness. If you have written instructions for me to reference, that’s awesome! If not, nbd but I may text you to ask a question more than once, and I apologize ahead of time for that!

“Stacy provided great care of my 3 female rats and went above and beyond to feed them special treats I provided, took daily pictures and bond with them while I was away. Trustworthy and followed directions! Would recommend thank you!”

I am well versed in new baby puppies and kitties, I know how to handle reactive pets, and I create a soothing, affectionate loving environment for your pet to be in. I have a regularly cleaned pet relief station outside, a puppy playroom, and several beds including my bed where I allow puppy to come and play. I also have a fully outfitted dog washing station. I work from home in a self paced job, so I am home almost 24/7, I am flexible and willing to adapt to last minute plans for families who need help and need it now! I have a safe playful enviroment with buckets of enrichment toys and doggie puzzles, a dog washing station, a designated potty relief station and lots of play time activities for doggos and cattos alike.
