Pet Sitting Concordia

About: I am an experienced sitter who is trained in pet first aid, and utilizes positive reinforcement and force-free training techniques. My gentle nature and intuitiveness make me a great fit for cats, senior dogs, and pups on the shy side. I also have experience with reactivity. I have always loved animals and find connecting with them easy and rewarding. I take the time to build a trusting relationship with each pet I look after. That in combination with my intuitiveness ensures that I can anticipate your pets needs and give them the best possible care. Along with having pets of my own since childhood, I also have two years of experience working with a rescue that was home to all kinds of creatures—from dogs, to chickens, to cows! Pet care is my full-time gig. I am available from 9am on each day for walks and drop-ins. For my house sitting clients I can guarantee they will be left alone no longer than 6 hours at a time, with a midday check/potty break included each day. My preference is to care for pets in their homes where they feel most comfortable. I make a point to be very respectful of my clients’ homes—I aim for a “leave no trace” approach to house sitting. I like to send daily updates with photos of your pets to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Carmen was a great petsitter for my cat while I was gone for the weekend! She sent lots of pictures and was really easy to communicate with and quick to respond to texts. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Every time Jenny checks in on our kitties we know they are in good hands. She is so communicative and puts us at ease when we’re away. Thank you for everything Jenny!”

Mollie M.

“Sam has been so great with our puppy, Bonnie! He is always so accommodating and willing to work with us as we are learning to be puppy parents. Thanks, Sam!”

Megan W.

“Josh came 3x/week for 2 years to let our dogs out while we were at work. He’s very reliable, takes good care of the pups and takes great pictures. Our dog Maggie even seemed to miss him on a week that we didn’t need him. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a quality, reliable dog sitter! We’ve moved to a new town and we’re going to have a hard time finding someone to fill his shoes. Thanks for all you’ve done Josh!”

Becca T.

“Veronica is great and has been our go to for the last few pet drops ins we’ve needed. Super attentive to our dogs and cat, and always on time.”

Gina R.

“Peter is such a kind, gentle soul who clearly deeply cares about animals. I got updates for each check-in, pics, and he went above and beyond to make sure all was well at home while I was out of town. Conscientious, kind, and reliable. Highly recommended!”

Maura C.

“Atlas was so great with my normally shy kitty! Provided lots of play time and attentive care, plus plenty of pictures to keep me updated. Would definitely book again!”

Kayla F.

“Amy was so communicative and took such great care of our 3 cats! She really went above and beyond while we were on vacation. One of our cats is quite the trouble maker and she was so understanding about it and so patient with him. I would definitely rebook with her!”

Sarah F.

“Lou was wonderful with my cat and is clearly naturally skilled with animals. I felt completely safe trusting them with my baby boy, and it was obvious he was in caring, capable hands. I’d absolutely recommend Lou and would happily book with them again!”

Traci T.

“Micaela was amazing with Kendrick!! She was very communicative the entire time I was out of town, which was greatly appreciated since I have an older cat with a few ailments. I didn’t have to worry about him at all since I knew he was in good hands. I would definitely book Micaela again in a heartbeat!”

Caroline M.

“Zoe is my go to sitter when I have to leave my kitties every few months! So trustworthy and considerate! Amazing with my cats, will definitely be rebooking her again!”

“Shannon was great! Super on time, followed instructions perfectly and added great notes and pictures to ensure we knew all of our fur kids were happy and safe.”

About: I've always cared for cats and dogs, but for the past 8 yrs, I've focused on caring for my own senior and special needs cats and dogs who were/ are blind, had mobility issues, needed special medications and treatments, and animals that suffer anxiety and need extra love and attention. Making sure your pet has time to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, is given love and attention, and adhering to any special requests is my priority as your pet walker (and definitely lots of belly rubs or booty scratches!). Because I've taken care of special needs animals, I can provide a dog stroller or dog sling in the event they suffer from arthritis, other mobility issues, or maybe love to be carried during a walk. I make sure to take extra care while walking pets. Having walked blind, disabled, and high anxiety dogs, I take extra care to monitor the surrounding areas for potential dangers such as traffic, harmful debris, loose dogs, and even pavement/ land conditions that might hurt their paws (hot sidewalks are no joke). I currently work from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Sundays, I have plenty of time to stop in and give your pet some TLC. Your dog's safety is my first priority. Aside from keeping a close eye out for potential issues (loose dogs, loose children, loud trucks, traffic), I also keep an eye out and will let you know if I see anything that could potentially be an issue (a sudden limp, stool quality, reactions to certain stimulus). I also make sure to avoid or reduce exposure to already known trigger points (other dogs or overly trafficked areas).

“Evelyn has been so easy and prompt in her communication. Her compassion, patience and training skills have made a wonderful initial impression and we plan to re-book with her!”

Jenna J.

“Jen was PHENOMENAL! We have a grumpy cat and she was dedicated to making sure he was well taken care of. She was prompt, communicated well, and a joy to work with. We would book her again in a heartbeat.”

Kayla T.

“Tayla was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of when we were out of town! She spent extra time and attention to make sure that our cat was comfortable and eating after a fire alarm went off. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Alex B.

“Alyssa Jayne is so reliable and kind with our cat! I'm so appreciative of her ability to be diligent in her notes and photos of our cat. Thank you for always going above and beyond!”

About: When I was 12 I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society caring for and walking dogs of all ages and behavioral levels. I volunteered at the OHS until I turned 18 when I began working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, as well as pet-sitting. As a dog handler I spent time 1:1 time with dogs, distributing medication, and moderating large groups. Currently, I take many of those same dogs on weekly hikes, adventures, dog walks and work on basic obedience. As a dog owner myself, I participate in dog sports, service dog training and canine conditioning with my young dog and senior dog. Additionally, I am in the process of becoming a certified dog training (CPDT-KA) and certified behavioral adjustment trainer (CBATI-KA). I work a flexible part-time job, allowing me the time to provide 1:1 fun and intentional care of your pet, that works for you and your schedule. I will confidently and responsibly listen to and take action to provide the support both you and your pet(s) need. Whether it is walks, play, adventures, potty breaks, medication or basic training, I am here for you and your pet.
