House Sitting in Elkhead

“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: 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!

“We used Danielle for housesitting and pet sitting for our two new rescue dogs. They are a challenge! They were well taken care of and very happy. The house was cleaner than when I left. Very professional and I would highly recommend!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of various sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, leash walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and administering basic medications if needed. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, behavior, and comfort to make sure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and shy, I provide patient, loving care and treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet sitting fits well into my weekly routine. I work Monday–Friday from 9–5, which allows me to provide care before work, during my 1-hour lunch break, and after work. This schedule works well for morning feedings and walks, mid-day check-ins, and evening care and playtime. I’m also fully available on weekends, allowing for flexible scheduling, extended visits, and overnight care if needed. I make sure every pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful, responsible, and attentive to both the pet and the space. I follow all instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I keep the home clean and secure, respect privacy, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I treat every home and pet with the same care and consideration I would want for 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.

About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pet play to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: As a lover of animals of all kinds, I take joy in tending to, caring for, and spending quality time with your pets! I’d love to meet them and give them the care and attention they deserve! I do have a service dog that I bring with me for work/school. He is good with cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! (: Currently I’m going to school part time MWF. I am available in the mornings/evenings those days as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.

“Linda was SO great with oak! She provided him with lots of enrichment games and kept me updated the whole time and did a great job keeping up with his complicated meds schedule and making sure his bandage from surgery stayed on and was kept clean.”

“Cassandra house sat for our two dogs in our home while we took a weekend trip. She took great care of them and even stayed at home with them the whole weekend which was great for Black Jack’s separation anxiety. She sent photos and updates and followed all of our instructions to a T, including brushing the dog’s teeth. The house was also in good shape when we returned. We would happily use Cassandra’s services again!”

“Kaylee was fabulous house/pet sitting with our 2 dogs and 4 cats for four days. Followed instructions to the ‘T’ and went above beyond; very communicative and reassuring.”

“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.”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.

“Lily did a great job taking care of our dog, Watson and our kitty, Holmes. She kept us up to date each day and sent us photos of our sweet fur babies. We left a very detailed (i.e., long) list of our needy, routine-oriented pets' peculiarities and she followed it perfectly. Everything was exactly like we left it. Thanks, Lily for helping us out--we were nervous using Rover for the first time, but you made it so easy.”

About: Hi, my name is Nadia! I work at a canine college and I’m surrounded by dogs everyday! I’m currently working on getting my vet tech license as well! I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, raising litters of puppies, caring for my own pets, and dog sitting for friends and family. I know how to give pets the love they deserve while keeping them safe and healthy. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or walks, I treat every dog like my own. Im available anytime! I can come do some walkes or pet sit for you! Just let me know. I love spending time with animals. 😊 I have a lot of experience with animals and absolutely love them. I can care for your pets at my house or at your house.

“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!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for about 7 years now. I started watching my friends dogs and now I have 3 cats and 4 dogs. I have been around pets most of my life. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats so I do take care of all of them daily. I walk my dogs 2 times a day sometimes only 1 at a time depending on the weather. I take care of my cats by letting them roam free in the house as well as cleaning the litter box everyday and feeding. I however do not offer boarding. Depending on the clients wishes I would make sure they are picked up after taken out on walks or in the yard to play.

“Maggie is an excellent pet sitter who genuinely cares for animals! Our pets loved her and she made us feel comfortable by sending updates and pics while we were away. Maggie communicates well and with clarity. She is reliable and professional. It is a gift to be able to go away and know that your fur babies are in great hands. We will definitely call on Maggie again!”

“Courtney was great with my puppy, Luna. Luna liked her the moment she met her and was sad to see her go. I am appreciative of the care she took of Luna and my home and grateful for her service.”

“We are 100% pleased/satisfied with Megan’s care of Dude. He weighs 100 lbs and will jump on people and get mouthy when he meets some people. He eventually calms down, but depending upon the person it can take awhile. Megan quickly got him under control. She was loving and was able to get him follow her commands. She happily came to meet him before her stay with him and easily walked him. We were very comfortable with him in her care. In addition she is a wonderful human being who is actively involved in her community. I enjoyed meeting and talking with her.”

About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

About: I grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well! Aside from cats and dogs, I especially enjoy caring for horses (feel free to inquire separately!), rodents, reptiles, chickens, and more. Available almost everyday/nights and open to all inquiries. Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can. Recently graduated with a bachelors degree as well as running a creative art business from home, I create lots of time in my days to be on call for you and your pet(s)! Home for me is located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland, so I can provide more care across cities. For me, pet care is fulfilling and provides normalcy to my days. Whether it is my roommates 2 tuxedo cats with opposite personalities, my best friends cats, family, friends' dogs, neighbors, or somebody I just met in need of pet care, I am there! Shoot me a message anytime and I will reply promptly. Your fur baby's safety and well-being is my top priority. I strive to ensure clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their loved ones in my hands. Please make sure you inform me of any bad/unwanted (or good!) habits your pet may have so I can provide the best care I can. I enjoy sending pictures and video updates of pets to owners throughout the day- feel free to ask for more (or less!) I do not offer my home for boarding. While in your home, whether it be drop-ins or stay-ins, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness and privacy of your space and neighbors. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly.
