Cat Sitting in Downs

About: We are a dog loving family and have one dog named Link who loves to make new friends. When going out of town, we've struggled to find many places that will treat Link how we would and make him part of the family, this inspired us to provide this for other families and dogs. There will typically be someone home with your pet when they are staying in our home, Haley stays at home with the kids and would let your dog out to play in our large backyard as often as needed. She can also take dogs on walks and keep them comfortable in our home during the day. We will have a crate or dog bed inside available for nighttime sleeping. Our children are taught to be kind and gentle to animals and are so excited to meet new dogs. We have fenced in chickens in the yard. Nathan has been through multiple obedience and agility training courses through the years and has experience with various breeds. We look forward to meeting you. We are at home a lot with the kids and pets. Haley is at home with the kids during the week and Nathan works around the block. We have a fenced, large yard which is very secure for dogs. We have toys and balls to throw for the dogs, they will have lots of play time.

About: Hi! My name is Liv and I adore taking care of pets. I have had experience with all sizes of dogs, but I also love cats! I am currently available any day and any time besides Thursdays. Thursdays I have a reoccurring appointment that i must attend to. But I am free otherwise! It is extremely important to me to create a safe and loving environment for your pet. Building trust and comfort is my number one goal.

“Kevin was amazing with my very anti social cat while I was away and even got her to make friends with him by the end of the week! Will definitely be back next time I need a cat sitter.”

“Natalie has been great with taking care of our two golden retrievers for drop in visits. She is always on time and communicates with us on any concerns she has. Phoebe and Winston enjoy having Natalie around!”

“Maleny was amazing with our 2 cats! We had her check in with our cats for 6 days and she sent lots of pictures of her feeding and entertaining the kitties, which helped us feel at ease about the quality of her care. When we got home we can tell our cat were very happy kitties. I will definitely be a repeat customer and will be asking Maleny to come back for future check ins with our pets.”

“Javier is a positive and gentle person to have around my old dog. He has been patient with him and has gone over and above with caring for him while I’m a way I appreciated the time he spent with me to help my dog be more comfortable with him. (My dog had a recent trauma.) I recommend him highly.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m still able to provide dependable drop-in care and quality engagement for pets. I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the weekdays and can provide up to two visits per day on weekends. During visits, I focus on more than just feeding and potty breaks — I make sure pets receive attention, enrichment, playtime, affection, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to routines, behavioral cues, and making animals feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. Safety, structure, and trust are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I have experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, cats, and small animals, so I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining calm, controlled interactions. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate rotations, leash handling, and household rules. I prioritize secure handling during walks and visits, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and crates, and always aim to create a calm and positive environment for pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

“Sarah was responsive, thorough and kind! We could not ask for a more responsible pet sitter! She did a great job, and we absolutely plan to re-book for more drop in visits very soon! Thank you, Sarah!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid. I have experience with a wide range of dogs. Ranging from small dogs to large such as German Shepards and Great Danes all the way to chihuahuas. I take pride in having the patience in getting to know each animal and their needs. I have a calming caring demeanor and work hard to build trust with each animal. I have a lot of experience walking dogs, feeding, house sitting cats and dogs and am a go to for friends and family. I am currently working part time and would love to fill my schedule caring for your pets! After losing my lab a few years ago, I often seek opportunities to build connections with animals of all sizes and ages. Being an experienced dog sitter, I plan to show you and your pets the upmost respect. I have pet sat and walked a wide variety of dogs in a variety of homes and can insure you that your pet and your home are safe with me.

About: I’ve pet sat for over 10 years for friends & family. I’d love to care for yours. I have two tabby’s who are well trained and have been around dogs in the past. My pup unfortunately passed away last summer and I’m not ready to get on full time but would love to care for yours as I cared for her and give them the best experience while you’re away. I have the weekend free, Columbia and I tend to go on hikes and or at the park. During the week, I go home directly to let my own dog out to the bathroom. I will follow any instructions following your pet. I understand how important consistency is. We have a side yard for playing, potty breaks or sunbathing.

“I was very pleased with Lindsay's care for my pups during her drop in visit. I am hesitant to trust anyone with my fur babies, but she gave me a good feeling right away during our meet and greet. She was gentle and calm. She showed up on time and sent some pics which helped me feel safe. I will be reaching out to Lindsay again!”

About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and understand how to give them attention, comfort, and structure. I’m patient with shy or energetic pets and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I have experience feeding, cleaning, playing, and sticking to routines, and I treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure owners feel updated and at ease. I work overnight shifts Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I’m available for morning and early afternoon visits on those days. I work 8 AM–4 PM on weekends, but I’m available before or after my shifts for check ins. I have full availability on Wednesdays and can offer flexible scheduling that day. I always aim to stay consistent with your pets routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I make sure every cat is cared for in a calm, safe, and clean environment. I pay close attention to details like secure doors, clean litter boxes, and fresh food and water. I respect each cat’s boundaries and never force interaction, allowing them to feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe and stress free while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m River. I was raised with dogs and cats (and birds and turtles and fish) as a child, and as an adult I have raised my own from puppyhood/kittenhood through their senior years. I am comfortable with puppy potty training, litter box training, cleaning messes, handling kitten/puppy energy, etc. I can do light grooming (brushing fur, cleaning with wipes, applying powders, etc) and give medications. (I can even do baths with the right set-up, and advanced notice.) I typically like to do a little light housekeeping anywhere I stay; I live by the motto of “leave it better than you found it.” I also have a wide range of experience and am comfortable caring for various other pets that might need tending while you’re out. In general I love all animals; when asked if I am “a dog person or a cat person,” I say, “yes.” I have done lots of pet-sitting for friends and family (including fostering for a year, to help a friend of a friend while she finished school) and I love meeting and getting to know new animal friends. I am finally joining Rover at the recommendation of many friends and family members who think caring for people’s pets is an excellent job for me. I’m new to Rover, but not new to pet care, and if you trust me with your pets’ care you will find they are in very good hands! I am happy to care for your pets in the way that works best for them: coming regularly to take them for walks, scoop litter boxes, and pick up puppy pads, etc., or staying with them in the comfort of their own home if they need more than drop-in attention. If in-home sitting is needed for extended periods, I may need to leave for a few hours at a time, but I can work around your pet’s needs for specific mealtimes, walk/potty times, etc. I love all pets as the individuals they are, and care for them as if they were my own. You can rely on me to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated, and make sure they are as happy and well-cared-for as can be while you are away.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a baby, and started dog sitting in my neighborhood when I was just 13. I’ve stayed overnight, popped in for walks, feeding, and quality time, and have even taken dogs to appointments! I love to go on walks, but also be calm at home, I’m always down to play, but I’m also down to take a nap when they’re tuckered out! I’m currently part time at build a bear and attending cosmetology school! So when I’m off school and off work I’ve got plenty of time with the babies! My shifts at work typically range from 5-7 hours at the most, and from Thursday-Saturday I attend school from 9-4:30 in Willsonville. I sometimes will have work after school till 7pm or 8, but will always let you know ahead of time to avoid conflict! I’m not easily annoyed, and am very sweet on animals, I can be firm if needed, take a dog potty, and crate them. With cats I can make sure they stay out of things they don’t need to be in, and make sure everyone is happy overall!

About: I recently graduated college with a degree in biology and hope to one day be a veterinarian. I work at a veterinary center right now as a kennel tech, and I have for over two years! While I am home I would LOVE to walk your dogs for however long they need to get that excess energy out! I have an Anatolian Shepherd myself, so I am not afraid of larger dogs. We got our dog as a puppy, and now he is about three. We also had a very sweet Great Dane that passed a year ago. I have experience walking young and old dogs as well as energetic walkers and calm walkers. I have experience with most leashes and / or harnesses as I have been around dogs for most of my life. I also have three cats of varying ages, and I have experience caring for reptiles and some exotic animals. I am new to Rover, but excited to start walking! Thank you for considering me and I hope to hear from you soon! - Emma I currently go to school full time up in Portland. I keep my schedule on Rover updated regularly, and am open from 4:30PM onwards Monday-Thursday, 2PM onwards Friday, and all day on Sunday. I focus all of my attention on our furry friends when I watch them. I love to give out belly rubs and ear scratches, and keep them stimulated through playing! I know that many animals tend to be creatures of habit, so I try to keep to their usual schedule as best as I can. I also try to keep you in the loop, and like to send pictures of your pets whenever I can!

About: I’ve taken care of animals from dogs and cats to horses and gerbils since I was a kid. I’ve worked in the vet industry for over 5 years and know my way around the health of your fur baby.

Whatever care instructions you have for your pet I will follow to the t as well as pick up after myself and respect your space.
