Cat Sitting in Buckhorn Springs

“She did a great job again. She took initiative and it made my parent’s lives easier. The cat decided to not cooperate, and she made a second trip to make sure he was locked up for the night, and not roaming around. We really appreciate Mackie.”

“Samantha has done an amazing job taking care of our fur babies! We have been working with her for a few months for drop-ins to watch our new pup, and she has been very communicative and on time with all of her visits! The dogs love her and look forward to seeing her every day. Absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs her services!”

About: I grew up in a house filled to the brim with dogs, from one parent who was a professional dog-trainer and another who couldn't stop taking in struggling foster dogs from the local rescue. I took the responsibility of helping to walk, train, feed and otherwise take care of these dogs. Additionally, I am a volunteer dog-walker at a shelter in Tacoma. I've worked will all types of dogs and issues, including reactvity, terrotorial, seperation anxiety, and more! Though I can't have a dog of my own right now, dogs are my passion and I am so excited to have this opportunity to meet and take care of your dog! I'm working part-time right now, so I'm totally available weekends and Mondays. On all other weekdays, I work from 7pm-11pm and am open outside of those times. When pet-sitting, I can stay full-time there or check in for potty breaks, playtime, meals, walks, and people time as fit for each individual situation. Walks can match whatever activity level and speed fit your dog and will always have my full focus! I'm more than happy to customize what that schedule looks like, and my priority is keeping the dog happy, healthy, and safe.

“We have had Jordan housesit 2 times now and highly recommend him. He is very easy to work with, loves animals, follows detailed directions for multiple kinds of animals well and leaves our house very clean. He is easy to get in touch with and responsive. In the past when we had a sick cat on his watch he has done a great job of letting us know and working to get the cat to the vet which we arranged from afar. We will definitely use him again! Thanks Jordan!”

“Annalise was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she was friendly, responsive, and clearly very experienced with cats. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our cat while we were away for over a week. She made sure to send us daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. Our cat was happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned. It was clear she got lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Annalise to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional cat sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — and honestly, my favorite part. Whether it’s at a party or just out and about, you’ll usually find me hanging out with the cats and dogs! I’ve had the joy of working with animals in many different settings over the years. I spent 7 years volunteering with a wildlife rescue organization, gaining hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I currently volunteer at Friends of the Animals Shelter, where I help care for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, cuddly lap cats to independent and finicky felines — I’ve cared for them all. I know that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their preferences, quirks, and routines to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My schedule is designed with your pet’s needs in mind! Outside of a few early morning hours at the bakery and a couple of flexible shifts volunteering at the shelter each week, my schedule is open to help keep you pet on their scheduled routine. Whether it’s a quick drop-in to burn off some afternoon wiggles or providing a calm, loving presence for a senior companion, I’m happy to accommodate whatever care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Whether it’s a fun-filled walk, a play session to burn off some energy, or providing full in-house care, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home and totally pampered. If it's just a walk or playtime, you can count on me to keep things exciting and safe! I’ll tailor each outing to your pet’s vibe—whether they're a high-energy explorer who loves to run or a more relaxed companion who enjoys a leisurely stroll. Either way, we’ll make sure they get the exercise and attention they deserve. For in-home care, I’m all about keeping things comfortable and familiar. I follow your pet’s routine to make them feel right at ease while you're away. Whether it’s feeding time, administering meds, or just giving them a cuddle session, I treat your home and your pet with the care they deserve. I’m all about making sure your pet gets the love and attention they need — whether that’s zoomies in the yard or just a cozy cuddle session on the couch. You can relax knowing they’ll have a blast, feel safe, and be spoiled rotten while you’re away!

About: I have been a dog mom of my rescue pup for over 5 years. And have been pet sitting much longer. My friends and family know me as an animal lover and trust me with their pets. I know that your pet is a beloved member of your family and I treat all animals as I would my own ❣️ With my own pup I have worked through reactivity and am comfortable handling dogs with behaviors as long as we discuss your handling methods before-hand. I know how important it is to be consistent with training and commands especially on walks. I know how hard it can be to find the right sitter so I would love to set up a meet and greet beforehand. This way we can go over your pets unique needs :) I work in a hospital with a varying schedule and have extra days of the week off. I look forward to caring for pets in my spare time :) I will be sure to keep my calendar updated with availability. I am respectful of my clients’ home and treat all animals as my own. I do my best to be as communicative as possible and send frequent updates and photos for each visit. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

“My stranger-wary cat actually let Natalie pet her. She followed my detailed list of instructions. I thought the kitchen was clean when I left, yet it was cleaner when I returned.”

“Claire is always so so great about sending the most adorable updates and taking such good care to love on our little lady when we are away. The best! 💛”

About: I have had my cat Lily and taken care of her since I have been 10. I have also been taking care of my vet friend’s cat when they are on vacation. I’ve given the cat medication. My friend has said I’m the only one they trust to watch their cat I have a full time job, but I’m looking to make extra money. I can watch pets in the evenings most days and on weekends I love to play with the pets I watch in my clients’ homes. I keep the pets company and make sure that they are fed, and doing well at all times

“Sherry is the BEST, she has so much experience and knows a lot as a trainer. She has two herding breeds herself and it shows. Sherry is my go to person for dog walking and is integral to making sure my high energy dog is enriched and still working on his training with my busy life.”

About: My yellow lab Yofi was my shadow for 13 years. I am not ready to get another dog, but I love pet-sitting Walks around the block every morning and evening, long hikes off leash every afternoon. I am retired from my counseling practice. I spend a lot of time at home. I do volunteer work in the Community, but usually take dogs with me. I have a large home with a fenced- in back-yard. Dogs can sleep on my bed or on their own doggie bed next to mine.

About: I love all animals but pups have had a place in my heart since I got my girl Juni (she’s the pretty girl in the pic with me!) She taught me patience, commitment, and responsibility. I had to leave Juni in my Hometown Portland, OR to pursue college at the lovely Southern Oregon University. While I can’t see my pup for a bit I miss going out everyday with her. I’d take her for hikes, walks, even bike rides. She dealt with reactivity issues and outburst, but with the help of a trainer I learned how to understand and handle her outbursts. I am excellent with reactive dogs especially with staying present in chaotic moments. My first priority is always their safety. Anyways I believe a walk is sacred time for pups usually it’s there only time outside their property. I don’t rush my pups they can sniff and pee on as many spots as they please! Lol. In all seriousness when you book with me you’re choosing a loving and patient walker and a calm and rewarding walk for your pup. I currently have a pretty light course load and have had quite a bit of time on my hands. I have courses only 3 times a week making my schedule extremely flexible! I have a vehicle and am new to Ashland I think this is a wonderful opportunity to get familiar with the town and get good exercise while hanging out with my favorite thing! Pups!! Almost always I can work with your schedule and my weekends are always open 24/7. Currently I only have a kitty who’s a handsome boy named Bear as well as a lovely betta fish who’s name Marlo and his two snail friends Gary and Gertrude! I have a passion for animals but in schooling I have limited my love for them. Back home I have two geckos and my pup waiting for me! I spoil my kitty he gets way too many toys and scratchers. He feasts twice daily on high quality wet food and gets loads of playtime. Keeping him healthy and happy is my number one priority and he is my registered ESA so he does the same for me.

About: "Until one has loved an animal, a part of ones soul remains unawaked." - Anatole France I have grown up with dogs for almost my entire life. I have also have pet sat before and can provide references. I have a 5 year old male pug named Tyson. He is an only child and is very friendly and loves having buddies to play with (with that being said in order for me to watch your dog they must be okay with other dogs.) I would prefer to meet your dog ahead of time before any overnight visits if possible. As a dog owner I know what an important role they play in our lives. They are family. I know how vital it is to have someone responsible that you can trust to make sure they are kept safe and happy while you are away. And if I watch your dog I will make sure that happens and treat them just as I treat my own. My schedule can be pretty flexible, especially with enough notice. The more notice the better of course. I prefer to take dogs that can be left at least for a couple hours if I have them for multiple nights. I live in an apartment and have a little pug that gets along with everyone. He comes with me on house sits. When dogs stay at my place I take them out on leash to potty and walk them.

“April is wonderful. She is personable, smart, loves pets, and very good at following directions, as well as being creative and careful if anything unexpected happens while you're away (say, an ant infestation.) I knew our cat was in good hands with April as soon as I met her, and I was right! The pond fish and plants also benefitted from her visits. I'm looking forward to working with April again on our next trip.”
