Cat Sitting Fern Prairie

“Misty came on schedule and left our feral rescue boy with some treats and toys. He seemed well taken care of when we got home! Would recommend, even for skittish creatures!”

About: Hi there! **Now accepting new CAT & DOG clients** Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something that brings me so much joy. I’m a big lover of both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and little quirks. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be loved, cared for, and treated like one of my own. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet's care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings, or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I know every cat and dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel at ease. I'll always follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away!

About: I am an experienced pet owner, with a lifelong love of all animals: especially dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and I have a lot of experience with a wide range of ages, needs and puppy personalities. I am an avid runner and naturist and love taking dogs on the myriad trails and walks surrounding our area. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and play time if they want it, or could be a total lounge and snuggle-bug in the calm indoors. I'm happy to tailor my care to your dog's needs and routine. I am happy to keep you updated on how your pet's stay is going, ready to send those glamor shots your way. I'm also adept at getting even the most stubborn of pups to take their medications without fuss. We can't wait to meet you and your four-legged bestie! I work from home and my wife has weekends, holidays and Summers off. Between us, we have a lot of time, energy and snuggles to devote to your pup. Our dogs thrive on a set routine for feeding, potty breaks and outdoor adventures, so your friend will be in good company. We have two lovable hounds that enjoy making new friends and we have a secure, fenced yard. My schedule allows for frequent check-ins or stays at your place, should you prefer house-sitting.

About: I've had cats in my life continuously for the past 40 years. My last cat lived to be 19 and she had a good life with me as an indoor-only cat. I treat cats with kindness always. I'm an expert litter scooper and not afraid to clean up any icky little messes that might happen. I feel that I'm good at reading a cat's mood, for instance, knowing if they want to be petted and reading any signals of "that's enough". Over the years I have been trusted by neighbors and family members to do in-home visits while they are on vacation. I want to share my capabilities with other cat owners so that you can rest easy that your cat is well cared for while you are away. I am recently retired from an office administration job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available most weekdays and weekends as well. I will take care in your home to follow your instructions fully and leave the feeding area and litter box area clean and tidy. I will happily spend time playing with your cat(s) and giving them affection (unless you tell me otherwise). I'll be there to check on their welfare and make them feel happy to have a visitor while you are away from home.

“Maria was very attentive and caring with the dogs. She went out of her way to help the dogs feel loved while I was away. I would highly recommend her to watch over anyone’s extended pet family, she truly cares and treats every pet as her own.”

“Cassandra did a wonderful job pet sitting our two kitties! She was very punctual for their feeding schedule and kept their routine. She took lots of photos and gave us detailed updates so we felt very comfortable that our cats were happy and cared for while we were away. Thank you Cassandra!”

“Aaron is one of the best dog sitters I’ve been able to work with. He is extremely understanding with both you and your pet. Aaron provided daily drop in visits for my pup for 3 weeks and my boy had so much fun with him. And even had a dog buddy to play with! (Aaron’s dog Louie) I would recommend Aaron to everyone. He even assisted with some clean up when my pup decided to chew on things. 10/10 I will hire Aaron and Louie again!”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for chickens as well. I previously volunteered with the Humane Society for Southwest Washington (HSSW), where I worked primarily with large dogs. Through my volunteer work, I completed dog safety training and learned how to recognize and de-escalate potentially stressful situations to help keep both animals and people safe. I am also an Eagle Scout. For my Eagle Scout service project, I designed and built an outdoor shelter structure for HSSW that provides volunteers and staff with protection from the weather while supervising dogs in the play yard. Working closely with the shelter further strengthened my commitment to animal welfare and my passion for caring for pets. I am generally available after 3:00 PM on weekdays. I have classes during the mornings and early afternoons on some weekdays, but I do my best to keep my schedule flexible for pet care. Animals are always my top priority, and I am committed to making sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes through my volunteer work at the Humane Society for Southwest Washington, where I regularly walked and worked with large dogs. I received dog safety training and learned how to recognize and de-escalate stressful situations to help keep both pets and people safe. I'm comfortable handling strong or energetic dogs and use proper leash-handling techniques to ensure walks are safe and enjoyable. Through both my volunteer experience and completing my Eagle Scout service project at the animal shelter, I have spent significant time working in environments with dogs present and understand how to remain calm, attentive, and respectful of each animal's needs. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own by following their routines, respecting their boundaries, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Our bunnies were happy and healthy when we returned. Amber took good care of them and went above and beyond by tidying up their space. Appreciated her photos and updates on Rover!”

About: I’ve been dedicated to dogs for most of my life. My current best friend, Arty was a stray and then was at shelters for a long time before I adopted him. He had issues, but I didn’t give up on him. I took him to manners class and used marker training to work through his issues. He is now a well-balanced boy. He loves to pose for pictures, for treats, of course. I would love to care for your pet when you’re away, in your home or mine if your pet is a good fit with Arty. I am a fit and active retiree. I go for long walks every morning and work out at the gym four days a week. The rest of my days are dedicated to my dog and gardening. I have a large fenced yard that is perfect for dogs to play and do zoomies. I have a large dog door and my house is dog friendly, with dog beds and throw rugs on a hardwood floor. I have a rear gate in my car and a dog hammock on the middle seat.

“Amazing as always! She’s super responsive, reliable, and the only person I trust with my babies. My dogs absolutely love her, and I always have peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands! ❤️”

“Salem is incredibly understanding, knowledgeable, and accomodating. I 100% recommend and would book again to house sit my two cats! Met all their needs and more especially with one of my boys with urinary issues and needed medication. Updates were informative, asked plenty of questions when needed, and returned to a clean home and two happy boys 😸😸”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 6. I grew up with a dog, people we knew had dogs, and we always had at least 1 cat in our care. Animals were what I knew. And still do. I’m intuitive when it comes to your furry child’s needs and currently look over the pets of my family and friend’s while they’re away. I can generally get somewhere after work at around 530pm. I love to walk and can provide daily walks for pets. On the weekends, I can make myself available for all day and care :) I’m in a small new studio so I’d prefer to watch pets at their homes. Many animals feel more at home in their familiar environment, removing the extra anxiety since they may already be stressed without their caregiver. I’m very attentive to your furry child’s needs, with water, food, walks, playtime, basic training etc. :)
