Cat Sitting in Ellendale

“Every time I started to miss my pups, I got a picture from Cristy. It was like she was reading my mind. Thank you for taking great care of them.”

“She was very comfortable with my rambunctious Aussies, they seem to accept her and like her. She was not intimidated by their aggressive sounding bark and type of play. She is knowledgeable about the breed and their energy level. I will request her again.”

“Ariya was very attentive and caring. She has lots of experience working with dogs at her job and asked good questions about Milo’s needs. Milo was stressed out because I hardly ever leave him, but Ariya handled him well.”

About: Caring for animals comes naturally to me—I have a soft spot for every paw, whisker, curly tail and tiny personality. I’m patient, attentive, and deeply committed to making pets feel safe and understood. I know how important it is to trust someone with your companion, so I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them comfort, consistency, and lots of love. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you. I have owned pets my whole childhood and still raise two of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. My daily routine is very pet-friendly, with plenty of time for walks, play, feeding schedules, and check-ins throughout the day. I have one child in elementary school and a younger child at home with me, so our days are structured but flexible. This means pets are rarely left alone and can be part of a calm, family-oriented environment. I’m mindful of each pet’s needs and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and included throughout the day. I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Every animal has their own comfort level, so I approach each one with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their boundaries. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel secure and at ease. I’ll provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I also like to keep pets mentally engaged with simple games, basic training reinforcement (if you’re working on anything), and sticking to their normal routine so they feel secure. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s needs—whether that’s high-energy fun or a cozy, low-key day at home. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can see all the fun we’re having.

“I don’t think my dog wants to come home. She’s been spoiled and loved all day. I guess I won’t feel so bad for leaving her from now on. 😅. Zuri was kind, prompt, asked good questions, sent lots of pictures, and loved our girl so well. Could not recommend her any higher.”

“Stephanie was very communicative with me while we were away and went above and beyond! The comfort of knowing our babies are being well taken care of while we’re gone means so much to us!”

About: I have been watching animals for 10 years! I have watched a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and fish! I have watched animals for as little as a few days or as long as a few months! My responsibilities include light housekeeping, administrating medications, feeding animals, walking animals, and ensuring the safety and well-being of the animals! My responsibilities vary based on the owners wants and needs as well as the animals wants and needs. It’s important to recognize all animals are different and my responsibilities vary based on the animal I am working with. I also was a kennel assistant for a few months where I learned many valuable skills such as bathing, proper sanitation procedures, running front desk, answering phone calls, and boarding animals while owners were out of town. In high-school I was in a Pre. Vet program for 2 years where I learned how to trim nails, groom animals, and safely work with animals of all different breeds and sizes. During this time, I achieved student of the month 8 executive times. All of these experiences have helped me learn how to work with and care for different animals with different needs. I am able to work with a variety of different animals becuase of my past pet care experiences. There well-being and safety is my top priority and they will be well cared for and treated like they are my own! Currently, I have a very flexible schedule! I am in the process of attending online college classes getting my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Studies. These classes make it so I can choose my own hours making it easy for me to work! I am available whenever needed, and your animal will always be my top priority 🐾 In my client’s home, I follow the specific directions they want me to follow in order to keep the animals happy and safe! I make sure to send updates and pictures of the animals I’m watching and I treat them as if they are my own. The animals safety is always my top priority! I check in with the owners if something is unclear or if I have a question regarding their care. I also make sure the animal is always in a safe environment! I constantly am checking to make sure the area is secured for the animals I watch and I look to make sure nothing can hurt them. Depending on the service and requests, I also do frequent check-ins with the animal and stay at the house if that is preferred so the pet can get the best care possible! I always follow up if I have questions or concerns and in case of an emergency, I would take them to the nearest clinic and update the owner as much as I could. I am animal CPR trained as well!

“Alexis went above and beyond to take care of my cat and even took out the trash for me since I was gone for trash day. She was so nice and professional and made sure my vacation was worry free.”

About: Since I was born I have had dogs in my family and friends, I've grown up with all size of dog and age of dog. I took care of my puppy and taught her how to potty on a potty pad if needed and I took care of a senior dog that couldn't walk far before being tired. I work the weekends in the health care world but love animals on the side! I don't have any dogs of my own due to my family dog which was mine has separation anxiety and I couldn't move her from my childhood home to a different state. The days i have nothing planned on are Sunday,Monday,Tuesday, and half of wednesday. Well it always will depend on the situation and dog! I always treat pets in my home like my own! I myself wouldn't want someone to not take care of my dog any different than they take care of their own.

“Hire Rachel! We had her do drop-in visits with our “scaredy-cat” and I think her calm manner really helped. We will definitely call her next time we go on vacation!”

About: I have cared for a wide array of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, insects and amphibians! I have owned many pets over my lifetime, and feel confident in caring for elderly animals and administering medication. I have volunteered at my local vet clinic on multiple occasions, so handling animals prone to stress is also something that I am familiar with Currently I attend community college part time on Mondays, Wednesdays and the weekend. Every other day I will be completely free, and will make it my priority to give your pets all of the time and attention that they deserve! One of my greatest goals, second only to the welfare of your animals, is to ensure that client privacy and boundaries are respected at all times. I will ensure to follow instructions given about the home to the letter.

About: I have 20 years Experience taking care of dogs and cats. I walked daily, rain or shine. Flexible schedule.

I currently am walking a German shepherd and a beagle. Lots of free time and flexibility. I care for pets in clients home in a loving and respectful manner.

About: I started taking care of animals when I was really young I think around 6 years old I would take care of my neighbor's dog was a little Pomeranian when they would go places. Also my neighbor had a Irish setter that I would go visit all the time and she would give me a dollar to walk her around the block or talking at least 48 years ago and I still remember it to this day it was one of the best times in my life when I was young. I think I've decided that I want to dedicate my life to this I mean what's left of it anyway lol I've been working with people most of my life and I thought I'd give this a try so daily routine and weekly routine would be up to the customer and it would be your preference after all you're the boss right? I've been a caregiver since 1998 of people I had five background checks last year for the state of Oregon I work for Oregon health Care commission and I'm a caregiver I passed five of them so you would not have to worry about me being in your home I would offer the services that you were requesting and you would also go beyond even more than what you would expect I think I would be a good fit with for anybody I'm an older lady and I've got a lot of grandchildren so I figured taking care of your for a babies and I would treat them like my grandbabies or you would say fur babies. Customer would be my boss so therefore I would do what they would ask.

“Molly was so happy when I returned!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets. For over twenty years, friends, families, business associates and everybody's been happy and i'm even animal cpr trained I am currently not working. Uh, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets playing with them. I have six acres, and i'm always outside with the dog, so never outside alone. I have a partially fenced yard. I have 6 acres, and I have trails through the property. But I never let the dogs go out by themselves. I always walk them through my property at least four times a day.

About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!

“I was gone for a couple weeks and Leanna took great care of my cat Feeny. She was responsive and kind via chat. I would hire Leanna in a heartbeat.”

“Kristin watched our 4 dogs while we were out for a bit. She did great and the dogs warmed right up to her. Even our terrier, who can be a bit finicky around new people. We've already booked her back for an overnight trip.”
