House Sitting Dorena

“Lisa was an amazing dog sitter. She kept our dog very active and everything was managed well. We enjoyed the pictures of our little nugget which she sent periodically. We would hire Lisa again to watch Amber or any pet for that matter.”

About: Hi! I’m Rachelle, thank you for checking out my profile. I’ve been dog sitting, walking, and boarding for a few years now. I enjoy meeting new breeds and making sure their needs are taken care of while their parents (you) are away. As dog mom of 3 loving and rambunctious breeds I can personally say your pup will feel right at home ❤️ I have five dogs of my own therefore I make sure that their needs are taken care of before mine are. With as much play time as I can give. First thing first I let the dogs out to play and go use the potty. Then I give them food if it’s time to eat. And of course we go out to play after.

About: I believe the best thing about pet sitting is offering pets the same love and attention that their owners give them. I am easy going, very reliable and will follow all instructions for your pet’s care. I care for both domestic and farm animals. ❤️ I’m retired so my schedule is flexible. That makes it easier for drop in visits. When I stay over, I may need to leave for an errand but I will be at your home as expected. I respect your privacy and will care for your home like it is my own. I depend on repeat bookings so you can expect the best service!

About: I have a dog and three cats, I do school online and have a very open schedule. I grew up with animals and babysit frequently. I’ve watched rabbits to horses and everything in between. I am currently in school and have a very open schedule. I am able to come and stop by or watch overnight. I am very reliable and have my own transportation. I have fostered a wonderful environment for my pets at home. My dogs fully trained on and off leash. He has excellent recall and trust with me. My cats are all free range in the house and we have gates put in place so they can have their own space. While watching others pets I am very proactive and careful of where I bring them and watch them carefully.

“Jaryd was a great sitter. He took really good care of our pets. He sent photos and updates multiple times a day. We highly recommend him.”

“Hannah took wonderful care of my chihuahua and cat! My chihuahua is very particular about people and he absolutely adores her! She is my go to sitter. Thank you for making my fur babies feel loved and at home while we were away. 😊”

About: Ive always been willing to take on family, friends, and neighbors pets. Whether that be just going over to let them out to go potty and play or staying over. I have also had them come to my home at times. I currently work Monday-Wednesdays so I have wednesday night-sunday to hang out with your fur babies. I’m generally home but I do leave the house often. Generally not long periods of time as I have my own fur babies. I have a fenced yard and we also do walks/go to parks. We have one dog, she is extremely sweet despite her size and she absolutely loves other dogs. She’s scared of cats so she avoids our cat and they just do their own thing. Our dog is crated when we are not home, so if needed your baby can be crated as well.

About: I’ve worked at an animal boarding facility for a year. I have experience with giving dogs medications, feeding, walking, enrichment and grooming! I’ve also been pet sitting for 2 years. I currently have an open schedule so anytime I am available! I want to focus myself more on animals and the opportunity to take care of them! I treat all of my clients with the same respect I would want them to treat me! I will love your animals and take care of them just like they’re my own!

About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

“Cassandra took great care of my dog Luna! I could tell she was happy and well cared for. I loved getting updates and pictures while I was gone. Highly recommend!”

About: Their fur babies will be treated just like they’re part of my fur family. I will follow any special requests that we work out. Plus I worked with a dog rescue so I have access to tons of information if I need to receive new knowledge on something. I live in Oakridge so I also have access to local hiking trails and have a decent knowledge of local water areas that are safe and wonderful for pups of all ages and sizes to enjoy. Their fur child will have plenty of one on one attention from me, they will not feel left out or unloved. I will keep you in the know if your fur baby is behaving ill. I’ll even take plenty of pictures of them enjoying their time and share them with you. I am currently on temporary disability due to surgery. I just had so I’m unavailable at this time but once I have been released to do light stuff around the home, I will be able to take on some clients again. If there’s any safety concerns, we can discuss what they are and what we can do to address them. We are currently trying to save up to get our fence redone to ensure that there are no issues with your baby getting loose.

“Grateful for Jules’ attention and care for our golden! She figured out his unique personality and habits and he was happy to have company at home.”

“I was so impressed by Sha's rapport with my animals. She agreed to a long stay with 2 unruly puppies, 2 older dogs and a cat afraid of new people. I felt bad about leaving her with my gang of critters and for so long, almost 12 hours, but she handled them well and I was able to fully enjoy the event I attended without worry. Sha clearly has extensive knowledge about different animals and displays that when she interacts with them. On my arrival home, my animals were fed properly and my house was in good order and Sha survived with a smile on her face. I absolutely recommend Sha to anyone, especially if they have numerous and diverse animals. Sha has established herself as my go to pet and house sitter. My thanks to Sha for providing care I can trust so I can get a break from my menagerie.”

About: Safety is always my number one priority while pet sitting. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and cared for in a safe environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner guidelines to keep every pet healthy, comfortable, and protected at all times. Although I do work a part-time job, I try my best to fit pet sitting in my schedule because it’s what I love to do! Animals will always be well taken care of, I insure that your pets will be let out before I have to take off for work, making sure water is full and fresh. I will be back to love and care you’re pet in a timely manner! Although I do not offer boarding, I prefer watching animals in their owner’s home because I feel like it makes the animals more comfortable to be in a well-known environment. My biggest priority is making sure the owners have peace of mind while they are away and know that their animals are in a safe hands.

“Kaylee was wonderful, we would recommend her to everyone. She was as gracious a house guest as she was caring for our pup. Could not have been happier.”

“Jared did a fantastic job watching my dog Bowie for a week over Thanksgiving. He was super easy to communicate with and sent some amazing photos of their time together. I have a german shepherd chow chow mix who can take some time getting used to new people and from the first time Jared approached Bowie I felt comforted. Jared clearly knows how to be around dogs and Bowie liked him immediately, which is rare for my pup. I highly recommend him!”

“Darian was great. The house was in good shape when I returned from vacation the dogs were happy and healthy. One of the dogs had ear problems and they addressed that and the other needed antibiotics and they contacted the veterinarian and had the prescription refilled. I will have Darian back to sit the dogs again!”

Robert S.

“One of the best dog sitters! She was so attentive to our pup, great communication, and our house was in perfect shape when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”

About: I have grown up around dogs all my life, with that my family has also boarded some of our family friends pets. I have always had 2+ dogs in my house (different breeds as well) and am use to being around dogs as well. I am very consistent with walks/bathroom breaks and feeding time. Currently, at my house in Austin I have a rescue mutt and 2 giant English mastiffs (both over 200lbs each) but have also had very small dogs such as shitzus too. I am vegan and have so much love for animals!! Would love to help you out in any way and make more dog friends :) I am about to graduate in June and have open availability while I am here for the summer!! I do not plan on getting a job while I am here until August so can work around your schedule! I also have a car as well that I can have dogs in I love animals, especially dogs! I make sure that I listen to the owner and I follow directions/ advice very well. I also love to walk (or run if your dog is into that) and can do that multiple times a day!! I really want to make sure that it’s not only a peaceful time for you but also for your furry lover one too!

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!
