Cat Sitting Buckheaven

“Michelle was very patient with my spoiled kitty who is not that comfortable with strangers. She took great care of her while I was out of town and even noticed we were low on treats and bought more! She is very quick to respond and I can leave knowing my cat will be very well taken care of!”

About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.

“Aundrea was very attentive and caring with our cat Henry. She kept us updated on him daily and gave him lots of love.”

“Linda was amazing! Very responsive, prompt, dependable. Took great care of my cats while I was away and sent pictures each day, left my house in great condition, can’t recommend enough!”

About: I have dogsat for my grandparents numerous times, sometimes up to two weeks before. I’ve had pets my entire life and know how to walk, care and feed them! Pet care fits in my schedule because I care full time for my own cat, who is a Manx breed. He is pretty high energy and is very active, so I’m always giving him attention and caring daily for his needs. I care for my pets at home by making sure they’re fed and watered regularly, and taken outside regularly, as well as giving them attention.

About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.

“Natalie did an excellent job taking care of our two cats. She kept in touch with us on a regular basis and sent photos several times as well. We came back from our trip to find our cats and our home well cared for.”

“We felt great about the care our cats received from Rachel. We appreciated her detailed check-ins, and feel she really paid attention to our instructions. We will book again in the future!”

About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.

“She was wonderful with my dogs and very responsive!! I definitely appreciate her being able to help on short notice!”

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.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I enjoy getting to know the personalities of the pet. Every one is different and enjoyable. I work from home, so I have the time to spend with your pets. I will be able to give them personnel one-on-one care. Pets will be treated as my own. Secure and safe. They will have my undivided attention to play and interact with in and out door.

About: Hi, I'm Courtney. I've had dogs my entire life and know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. My home is a safe, loving environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I am home during the day, so your dog won't be left alone for long periods. We have a fully fenced backyard with a dog run where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy being outside. I share my home with two senior dogs, June and Rose. June is a 16-year-old Whippet mix, and Rose is a 13-year-old Dachshund-Beagle mix. Both are friendly, gentle, and still enjoy playtime and making new friends. I also have two children, ages 6 and 8, who have grown up with dogs and understand how to be kind and respectful around animals. Over the years, I've cared for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. Whether your dog loves walks, playing in the yard, or curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. I am a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day with the pets in my care. I'm able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. We also have a fully fenced backyard with a dog run for safe outdoor time. If your dog enjoys being active, I'm happy to take them on walks or to the dog park about a mile from my house for some extra exercise and fun. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their routine, provide plenty of attention, make sure they get exercise and playtime, and keep a close eye on their well being. I believe trust is earned, so I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect that I would want for my own family. And yes, there will probably be a few extra treats and belly rubs along the way. 🙂

About: I love dogs. Growing up, I've cared for several family dogs, including a shih-poo named Kirby, a german shepherd/lab/husky mix named Beauty, and two miniature golden doodles named Amber and Rusty. I volunteered weekly as a 'Canine Companion' at the Humane Society for three and a half years, walking, training and cleaning up after dogs, and providing feedback to help them find homes. I had a few hours of formal dog training at the Humane Society. My wife used to work as a vet tech, so she's also a great source of knowledge for animal care that I draw from. I drive from Hillsboro to Portland to drop my wife off at College at 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; I pick her up at 6pm. I can attend to clients in both locations and Beaverton since I drive this route often. I have a cat in a two bedroom apartment. There's a lot of other dogs and leashless dog parks in the area, which is ideal if your dog is friendly with other animals. I'm used to caring for my friend's cats in his home, bringing in his mail and tending his garden. I bring a calm, quiet presence that keeps the cats relaxed.

About: I have had dogs all my life, I myself have a 9-year-old cocker spaniel, which is a very high maintenance dog. I have gone through potty training with puppies, all the way to medications with senior dogs. All pets require love, care and patience along with a reliant person to care for them and I can be your girl!! I'm currently in full-time schooling so I'm unavailable from 8am-3pm, I have little to no obligations after 3pm every weekday and I am available most weekends. I am able to spend a lot of time with your pet, play and take them on walks or to the park. My car is reliable as well for any visits or driving to parks father away!!

About: What sets me apart is probably my friendly demeanor and ability to go with the flow. I've always loved animals and find they generally like me as well. I have experience administering medication at scheduled times, senior animals, scooping litter boxes just about my whole life, and slow introductions to dogs that need it. I love learning how each animal prefers to spend their time whether that be cuddling up on a couch or chasing after their favorite toys(even if technically "trash" as mine seems to prefer). I love exploring the Portland area and would give your dog all the sniffs they may desire. I love taking pictures and understand the importance of knowing your pet is in safe hands. I have my own cat, so pet care is a daily task for me. He's a very energetic boy, but I love getting big leaps out of him during play time. I care for pets the same way their owner would. They're part of your family; they deserve to feel like it even when you're not there.

“Wow. Jade went above and beyond for my cat. I told Jade before she watched my cat, Sister, that I was nervous because she’s such an anxious cat and I didn’t want things to be too difficult. Fret not. I come home to see my cat out in the living room- basking in the sun, not a care in the world. She wasn’t hiding like she usually does when new people are around, no, she was purring and relaxed. When I went to pet Sister, I made a crazy discovery. Her nails? Trimmed. Her hair? Washed. Not only that, I had told Jade not to worry about the litter box since I wouldn’t be gone for long. And what did Jade do? She deep cleaned it. Deep cleaned my cat’s litter box just because. I mean come on. Talk about a cat sitter! I could not recommend this girl more. She’s thoughtful, she’s kind, she’s an animal whisperer. Just when you think things couldn’t be better, Jade says just wait. 5 stars and a happy cat waiting for Jade’s return.”

About: Returning to Rover and excited to get to know some new furry friends. I’ve had experience taking care of the fur children of a good number of close friends and clients on Rover. They have relied on me for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins. My living situation has recently changed to apartment living so unfortunately, I can’t currently board pets at my home. In the interest of complete transparency, I am currently between jobs and working independently through DoorDash. I need to meet weekly finance goals to sustain myself, but I am flexible and will make taking care of your pet a priority. I have professional emergency medical training as an EMT and trauma technician, including CPR, emergency response, and patient care. I am familiar with first aid principles and continue to expand my knowledge of pet-specific care. I was raised with pets, taking care of them growing up. I had 2 dogs, a cat, two hamsters, a gecko, and a box turtle which I cared for independently. As of my current season of life, I am busy but very flexible to make pet care a priority. Unfortunately, I currently cannot board pets at my residence. However, I have vast experience in house sitting. I can do extended stays overnight or just drop-ins as needed, apart from pet care, I am absolutely willing to maintain other needs of your home while you’re away such as watering plants, maintaining or caring for tank/enclosure animals, farm animals or other house needs. I’m highly respectful of your living space and self-sufficient in providing you with peace of mind for your home and animals while you are away.

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
