Pet Sitting Downtown

“Erin provided excellent care to my senior cats. She gracefully navigated complications presented by my partially-socialized feral cat, who fears most humans. Erin provided descriptive visit summaries and arrived at consistent times every day. I will ask her to care for them in the future.”

“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

“Professional, responsible, a great communicator and I felt safe having Hayden care for our cat Fern. Will definitely retain her again. Thank you Hayden!”

“Kelsie was an absolute dream to work with! Kelsie did weekly drop-in visits for me for 6+ months. My very shy and nervous dog loved her and I never had any concerns for his safety or happiness when he was in her care. She is communicative, flexible, and exceptionally trustworthy. I would highly recommend Kelsie to care for your fur babies!”

“Kendra has been very responsive from start to finish, and took good care of our cat who quickly warmed up to her. She made sure to give him plenty of play time every visit, and sent us nice updates and pictures about how he was doing and what toys he was in the mood for depending on the day :) Would definitely request her again whenever we need a sitter for Mado!”

“I rebooked with Mia because she did such a great job with my cats over Christmas. I appreciated the communication and timely updates - would not hesitate to book again!”

Sara K.

“We just couldn't ask for a friendlier, more reliable companion for our dog while away. Kezia is simply Fantastic!!! ...She's a great pet photographer too! Thank you Kezia! Vacation just wouldn't be the same without you.”

About: I have cared for a variety of dogs for over 6 years. From puppy to elder, tiny to huge, and sleepy to bouncing off of the walls- I love hanging with all! I have experience in multi animal households, walking (exercise in general), feeding regiments, injuries such as ear infections, etc. It is important to me to maintain normalcy as much as possible while owners are away, and make sure they feel so loved! I am a recently graduated student who is in Eugene for the summer. I work part-time doing research virtually so I have a lot of time on my hands 🙂 I truly cannot think of anything better to do than meet all of the animal neighbors around me. I value clear instructions and will always focus on meeting those expectations. Happy to reinforce rules, training, etc. in all ways! Routine is so important for our pets and I always uplift whatever the norms are.

“Karina was great with my pup! She was on time and had great communication with me from start to finish. I especially LOVED her detailed description of their first walk together and pictures! The next time I need a dog walker again, she is first on my list!”

“Amy did an excellent job with our cats, and was very communicative when issues arose. Our cats were happy and well cared for, and I would happily recommend her to anyone!”

Madeline S.

“Emily was great, highly responsive and always went above and beyond. She was very flexible and was able to accommodate requests for additional visits. She ensured my two fur babies were well loved and played with the entire time I was gone.”

Jillian K.

“Jennifer was awesome with my cat, Fawkes!! Very attentive and communicative. Was great getting updates every day showing me he was doing well. I’d definitely book her again! :)”

“Caitlin goes beyond expectations. This is the 2nd time I hire her to check in on my cat and I'm very happy with her professionalism. Her visit photos and notes are lovely and they give me peace of mind that my cat is doing well.”

“Rosa is a wonderful and caring person. She is very intuitive and instantly gained trust from my cats. She successfully delivered fluids to my kitty with kidney disease and provided me with updates. I would definitely rebook with Rosa.”

“Guadalupe was very responsive and timely in her communication. Max seemed comfortable with her, and I received many sweet pictures of Max getting hugs.”

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.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my personal, hands-on experience with animals of all ages and personalities. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different needs, energy levels, and behaviors on a daily basis. I also have a puppy right now, which has taught me a lot about training, consistency, and keeping up with high-energy pets. In the past, I cared for a senior dog, so I understand how important patience, gentleness, and extra attention are when it comes to older pets. On top of that, I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends, so I’m used to stepping into someone else’s routine and making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently attend Univeristy of Oregon and do not have a job so I am pretty open! I get out of class at 3 Pm everyday besides Monday and Wednesday (5:30) and Thursday I don’t have class. Weekends are completely free for me too. We can always chat more to see if our schedules align and also how we can work around them! I have a puppy right now so i know how to handle high energy dogs and i’ve also had a senior dog in the past so i know they need more gentle care and attention. When we first meet I’ll introduc myself to your pet so we can build trust and form a friendship :) After that just let me know all the Do’s and Dont’s and any special instructions!! I’m so excited to start Pet sitting and dog walking it’s always been a dream of mine to make it my full time profession for the moment :-) My pets back in Portland have a big fenced yard where they can play and run around. But for now I will only be doing dog-walking and petsitting at other people’s homes because I live on campus :)

About: At home I have my sweet kitty Jack, who is a Norwegian Forest cat. I also have a blue-eyed tree frog named Wimble. I've cared for dogs all my life (even helped deliver puppies a few times!) I have worked at dog boarding facilities, and cared for dogs at their own homes. I've also enjoyed cat-sitting for friends, and have helped them to transition cats to new homes. I've had experience with small mammals and birds as well. I am not working during the summer, so my availability is currently open. I can cater to any type of pet care schedule you may need. I appreciate detailed instructions, based on each pet's individual needs and personality. I am meticulous with following instructions, and am glad to send photos while you're away.
