Thanks Jaide!”


About: Hello friends! I am a student that works in the medical field. I specialize in psychology and training of special needs/high energy breeds, large dogs, puppies, as well as cats. I have a history of animal husbandry including show/farm animals and training medical service animals. I have also worked in a research setting with primates! It’s been some of the best work of my life! A pet is as unique as their owner and each animal has distinct needs, and expected routines. From one animal lover to another, allow me to entrust your family member as part of my pack. When I am with an animal(s) aside from needing to leave for errands, or checking in on my pets, I’ll be staying in the home! I have a fully fenced back yard bordering a forest, and a large dog run. No matter if you have a fence digger - this fence is sunk into the ground!

About: I'm extremely reliable. I will do what I say I will do. And I will treat your pet with utmost care and lots of love. I am not working regular hours so I am available almost anytime. I can come and go as you need for your pets! Always with a positive attitude! I will be on task 100% of the time. Whatever is needed and whatever is wanted. I can be counted on to do it reliably!

About: What a win win Rover is. Your pets end up happy, you have one less thing to worry about, and I get to help out by caring for my favorite animals on Earth. The animals I’ve owned and met in my life have done so much to lift my spirits and I make it a big part of my life to give the love right back to them. I have over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. Everything from feeding, playing, cleaning up, loving on and providing emotional support. I’m confident in my care taking skills and also my ability to communicate with them. You can trust me to do a good job and brighten your companion’s day! Thank you for considering :) I currently have a part time job which leaves me a lot of free time to check in on and spend time with your pets. I am very respectful, considerate, and responsible. I am great at following your lead and thrive with any given information and specific instructions that you provide for me.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep commitment to treating every pet like family and my well-rounded experience with dogs at every life stage and temperament. I have hands-on experience training puppies, helping them build positive habits through structure, patience, and consistency. I’ve also worked with dogs who’ve shown previous aggression or reactivity and know how to create a calm, controlled environment that supports behavior management and trust-building. In addition, I’ve cared for senior dogs post-surgery, including those needing extra support with mobility, comfort, and detailed medication schedules. I’m confident managing complex care routines and always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and emotional needs. Whether your dog is energetic, anxious, aging, or needs a little extra help, I adapt my care to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love building a bond with every pet I care for. You can trust that your dog will be in thoughtful, experienced, and loving hands while you’re away. As a full-time remote nursing student with a background in pharmacy and medication management, I bring a high level of attention, care, and reliability to every cat or dog I look after. I have a senior black lab of my own, so I truly understand the importance of routine, patience, and gentle companionship—especially for aging pets or those with special medical needs. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs quiet companionship, playtime, walks, or help with medications, I tailor my approach to their unique personality and needs. I’m experienced with a wide range of pet temperaments, from affectionate lap cats to active dogs or more independent animals, and I always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With me, your cat or dog will be in calm, capable hands—and you’ll get regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re safe, loved, and cared for just like family. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making each visit calm, positive, and tailored to your pet’s needs. During drop-ins, I follow your care instructions closely—whether that includes feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box scooping, or just giving your pet some love and attention. I take time to make sure your cat or dog feels safe, seen, and cared for before I leave. For walks, I make sure your dog gets exercise and mental stimulation while staying safe and comfortable. I’m happy to adjust the pace and route based on their energy level, age, or mobility. I always prioritize leash safety, weather-appropriate care, and positive interactions. As a remote nursing student with a flexible schedule and a background in pharmacy and medication management, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands!

“What a relief to find such a dependable pet sitter while I was gone for a few days!! The dogs were following her around by the looks of the photos she sent. I’m sure they loved her. She is very communicative. She even played with them a bit on her drop in visits. Highly recommend!!”


About: ♡ Hello. ♡ Im located in Boring Oregon and im home full time and would love to have some company on my afternoon walks! ♡ We have two dogs that love a good play date! ♡ I live in a wonderful neighborhood that offers lots of trails for your dog to go explore. ♡ My family is easy going and we have a big fenced yard for the pups to run around in. ♡ Easy going and Flexible. ♡ All sizes are welcome. ♡ Please Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns that you may have. ♡ Looking forward to meeting you and your pet. ♡ I work from home, so my pups and I always have time to go for a walk and frequent potty breaks. My neighborhood is great for long walks. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. Belly scratches and cuddles are my specialty. Plenty of Soft blankets to afternoon naps!

About: I have extensive experience in enrichment, grooming, training, and snuggling! I currently share my home with two cats and two dogs, so I’m used to energetic multi-pet households. No dog or cat is too large, small, old, or young! Un-spayed/neutered pets are fine. My greatest passion is working with high-energy or reactive dogs (especially herding/working breeds), and shy or nervous dogs who need patience to build trust. I help these pups using methods with zero pain or fear. Experience working at a vet clinic, shelters, and with my own pets through all life stages means that I'm comfortable administering medications and handling complex behavioral concerns. I am more than happy to incorporate basic trick or obedience skills into walks and visits—combining mental and physical exercise! I can also set up any provided enrichment toys/treats. Whether your pet wants gentle confidence-building, a long snug on the couch, a good brushing, or an outlet for their energy and intelligence, I can provide exactly what they need to be their happiest selves. Feel free to contact me about any time you need that is marked unavailable. We might be able to work it out! I recently started a new job, but I’m still available several days each week and every evening. As I mentioned above, I use only positive reinforcement techniques on both cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free certified. That doesn’t mean that I’m a pushover. :) If you spell out your pet’s boundaries, I’m happy to keep them off the couch, make sure they aren’t rewarded for jumping on me, or whatever else you’re working on with them.

About: I’ve taken care of so many different animals that it is just second nature. I love that each one has a different personality. I feel they are better friends than some people. Even down to a raven, or a rat, every animal is deserving of love, attention, and care. If the temperamental ones let you that is. Animals have taught me so much patience and the ability to communicate without a verbal language, which I think is just amazing. Mondays and Tuesdays I have completely off but I am not available past 1 pm on any other day, including weekends. That is when I am working my full time job. I am willing to do anything you need me to do. I personally have one cat and one dog. My dog is German shepherd mix so he can be a bit crazy for my cat. With that being said I have a baby gate to give my kitty her space when she needs it. I’ve trained my dog to do all basic commands on my own, with a few tricks thrown in there. He also has a crate for timeouts. And my kitty is just a princess, and I do whatever she wants. :)

About: I have been watching dogs since I was little. I grew up on a farm and have continued loving and working with animals into my adult years. I have done a lot of dog training and have worked with many professionals as well! I would be more than happy to continue basic commands with positive reinforcement. I love all breeds and love the cuddly ones even more haha! I do require your pups to be up to date on flea prevention and all dogs must have a collar with a name tag ☺️. All dogs must be dog friendly to insure the safety of all pups! When you are leaving your house, please text me with the time your GPS says you will arrive at my house. Message me again when you get here, and I will come out to meet you and your pup. Please do not knock on the door as this will excite any other pups I may be hosting. (If I have not responded to your text with in 5 minutes then yes, please do knock on the door) I will take your dog inside to meet the other dogs This is my full time job there for I will be home almost all of the time with your pups! I do stuff occasionally but my partner will also be here to watch them as well! I have a fully fenced in about 7ft tall. There are kennels for those who need them and a bunch of dog beds/couch’s and soft things to sleep on. All dogs eat separately to insure food safety.

Christina C.

“Christine is better than any sitter I’ve tried here, I found her on Wag with over 70 five star reviews but the prices here are better so I hope this review gets her even more traffic although she seems to be high in demand for a reason!!! I have two Great Danes and one of them is getting older. I travel for work and so they stay with her two weekends a month. get professional level pictures, I actually have one framed, she sends tons of videos and pictures and her fiancé actually built a ramp for Pongo so he can get up the stairs more easily. One day she will be Dr. Christine and I’m sure we’ll see her then too. She is our Dr. Doolittle.”


Laurie O.
“I have known Laurie for about 10 years. I actually met her through my toy poodle. Laurie owned a store near where I live, and Shayna and I visited Laurie several times a week. Laurie just doted on Shayna, and always had a lap when we came to visit. Shayna died last year, and I have since adopted a cat. When Laurie visits, her lap is now for Pixie! While Laurie has never (yet) been a caregiver for me, I believe she would be a wonderful, responsible caregiver. She obviously loves animals…and my animals love her back!”


Jana D.
“Jana is a wonderful person who I trust with my dog all the time. She will check in on him when I’m at work and make sure he is happy and healthy. She is intuitive and my bud just loves her so much. He likes most people, but he really responds to Jana much better than anyone, other than my dad or myself. I don’t know what I’d do without her when I work long days. It makes me feel so much better knowing my pup is in the best hands possible.”

Jamie L.
“Jamie is a great pet sitter! Very responsive, very nice and professional and trust worthy. Will use again in the future for sure. Thanks again Jamie.”


Elizabeth L.
“Elizabeth helped me tremendously when I brought home my small rescue dog, Dash. She helped her find confidence and joy after being abandoned and cooped up in the shelter. Dash was SO nervous and scared at first, and would absolutely panic at the sight of men! She also cut her nails, cleaned her ears, and did flea treatments for me. Eventually, Dash got to the point where she could play with Elizabeth’s much bigger dogs, go on walks to the beach, and even tolerate sitting on men’s laps! Elizabeth worked with her in my home frequently, and also watched her while I was out of town several times. She sent tons of cute pictures, and sometimes Dash didn’t even seem that excited to see me 😂. Her dogs are also great for giving some doggy play time. She says they spend a lot of time at dog parks so they’re pros at other dogs, and they certainly were very sweet with my tiny, timid chihuahua mix!”
