Cat Sitting in Fernwood

“What a great experience! Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our bunny. She was reliable, and sent us photos and updates of her drop in. We'll definitely ask Sarah to watch Mochi again!”

About: Please Note that I am not currently watching any pets that eat raw food due to the risk of pathogens including h5n1. This includes raw food, freeze dried raw, raw coated kibble, raw toppers, raw egg, and raw milk. I've worked with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, ducks, quail, ect. In the past and genuinely enjoying spending time with animals. I can provide safe, comfortable, and reliable pet care for you while you are away. I've done in home pet sitting, drop in care, and dog walking for family, friends, neighbors, and others in the community. I have experience with puppies, senior animals, dogs with behavioral issues, and intact animals. I currently work part time as a babysitter so my schedule is pretty open. I usually make my schedule in advance, but if I have availability I'm happy to do last minute care. I have two friendly dogs who would love to come along to house sitting jobs if you are comfortable. I have good knowledge and understanding of animal CPR and first aid.

About: For the past few months, I have been a dog walker/petsitter 8 hours a day 4 days a week. I also grew up with dogs throughout my life and have experience with pooches of all shapes and sizes. Pet sitting and dog walking is my full time job so I can assure you that I will attend to and care for your fur babies like my own. I will give each pet my full undivided attention. The safety and happiness of your pets is my top priority at all times. I love taking photos and will give you updates throughout the day of your pet. I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. I currently own 4 dogs of varying sizes and breeds. For the last year I’ve work in veterinary medicine first as a technician assistant and then as a client service representative. I’ve done pet sitting multiple times for family members who had to travel. I work full time, Sunday-Wednesdays. I’m able to stop by early in the morning before work and after work in the afternoon on work days. I’m free for multiple home visits Thursdays-Saturdays I have a large secure yard with 4 very friendly and playful young dogs. I have two XXL kennels, one medium kennel, and a small kennel for dogs who prefer to sleep in a kennel at night.

About: I love dogs. My husband and I are empty nesters. We have a labradoodle and no cats. I work remotely at home and in the veterinary field. I currently work full time but have a home office and work from my home and have a flexible schedule. Your dog will have lots of attention. I have a large fenced in yard. We have a 9 year old neutered male Labradoodle, Charlie. Lots of dog toys and treats to share.

About: I’m a professional pet sitter. I have experience with a variety of species, including dogs, cats, fish, and chickens. I grew up with big dogs. I started pet-sitting almost ten years ago. I’ve slowly grown my business to be able to offer services in a limited range outside of the greater SE Portland metro area. Outside of pet care, I work part-time, so I am able to spend most of the day with your pets. I usually have my calendar updated 2-3 months in advance. All of my house-sitting bookings include complimentary light housekeeping. My favorite aspect of animal care is bonding and learning to communicate with each individual. Looking for an experienced sitter with a flexible schedule? Look no further. I'm available to attend to your animals' every need. I would love to hear more about your pet's needs and routine. I value safety and I understand the importance of keeping your pets safe. When working with new animals, I like to begin by providing food or treats. This tends to soothe temperaments. If I'm just meeting the animal, I will talk to them softly while they eat. After they eat, I make sure they have access to the bathroom. When working with a new dog, I am conscious of my movements. I try to encourage play and interaction without making the animal feel trapped or cornered. Before leaving a client's home, I double-check that the animals are taken care of, the stove is off, and the doors are locked.

About: I love pets more than most people but no time for one full-time myself. I love to love and give all the time and attention to the pets of others. It's one of the greatest joys in life. I currently only work part-time because I have my kiddo every other week and love to make sure I don't miss out on the younger years. I want a pet so bad, but just don't have time to have one full time myself. I would take my neighbors dog most weeks when he'd go out of town to care for him, and sadly moved away and would love to spend my free time loving on the pets of others. If a pet is child friendly, then yes to taking them when I have my kiddo. If not, I am child free every other week. I live in a safe and clean home and treat them as my own. I love to go outside, so frequent walks and restroom breaks are no problem for me. I live in a dog friendly area for walks and to use the restroom, so I can ensure your pet gets the love and care they need.

“Blair helped us out when we had a minor emergency while away. So grateful for her and her presence with the cats! Thanks so much!”

About: I am reliable to walk, bathe, and generally take care of pets! Your dog, cat, etc. should be treated with all the love and respect. I’m a film & theatre student at Clackamas Community College trying to find something stable while I go to school! My schedule is very flexible. I want to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Having someone else take care of your pets can be a lot of stress, but they’ll be in the right hands! I want to make sure the owners have as much off their plate as possible.

“Aeron was good with Frankie! They were prompt and attentive and offered good communication. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the future.”

About: I have been professionally caring for dogs since 2012, and my love for them runs even deeper. I grew up with dogs, had my own loyal companion for 17 years, and now share my home with two wonderful pups, ages 3 & 1. Dogs have always been my favorite animal—I truly understand them. Whether it’s playtime, companionship, or attentive care, I provide a safe and loving environment where dogs can feel happy and at home. My partner and I work opposite work schedules to accommodate time with the children and our pets. She is home in the mornings and evenings, and I am home in the afternoons. Welcoming one dog guest at a time into our home ensures they will get the best care. It is like joining our family for a few days! We live in a true dog paradise—five fenced-in acres to run, romp, and explore. Our property features a pond and creek, two fresh springs, old-growth trees, and a young woods, offering plenty of space for adventure. Someone is always home to supervise and care for the animals, ensuring a safe and loving environment. Our property includes 2 kids, 3 dogs, 5 cats, 21 chickens and 6 chicks. It's imperative that guest dogs have a positive history of interacting with all the above, as they are free-roaming on our acreage

“Erin stepped in at the last minute to take care of our three doodles. They loved her immediately and she did a wonderful job. Will definitely ask for her again!”

About: I have owned and trained dogs all of my life including my current dog. He is a 4 year old Australian shepherded who knows more than 30 tricks and gets upwards of 3-9 miles of walking or hiking daily. I am comfortable training and working all dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently full time at home with boundless amounts of energy to go on walks, as well as having a large collection of dog toys and treats. I have completely open availability, I generally start my days around 6am. I have my own transportation and revolve my day around my own dog’s needs including an abundance of hiking and mental stimulation. I live in a townhome with roommates who work all day long with my very dog friendly calm Australian shepherd. I have a small patio, but will do the majority or exercise out on walks around the neighborhood or hikes (if it’s comfortable with you). I have the master bedroom that is quiet spacious and can fit crates if requested by the owner. I’m working part time, but I start all of my days at 6am and have hours In The mornings and evenings to care for your pet. I base my interactions with animals on respect, consent, and love. I move at their pace listening to their body language. I have a very safe and quiet home environment and an untended yard. My community backs up to countless hiking trails and I have access to miles of sidewalks away from busy roads and chaotic environments.

About: My name is Alexandria, or Alex. I currently work full time at a animal hospital as a vet assistant. In the past I have worked for the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. I am a HUGE animal lover and would love to spend more time walking/pet sitting animals. I also have my license and a car. I enjoy spending time outdoors and am a natural resources + forestry graduate so I have rain gear and would love to walk your dog rain or shine! Growing up, I've always had dogs, cats, chickens and fish! I dog/house sit for all of my family members and their friends. Whether you're looking for someone to cuddle up with your dogs or someone to take them hiking, running or to the dog park, I am more than happy to! Why I love dog sitting I love dogs and being outside. I've had experience with all dog breeds. I have also had experience with different age groups, from puppies to seniors. I have experience administering medication by mouth or subcutaneously. I can also take care of household chores, mail, garbage, plants, pool, hot tub, etc. I am able to board dogs that aren't fixed at my house. I work 4 8-10 hour days during the week, but for sure have weekends and holidays off to fully take care of your pet(s). I get one day off a week as well. My boyfriend also always has Fridays off and is great with animals. They often love him more than me! We both love animals and they are always treated like a family member. I live on 10 acres in Colton, so I have a great area for your dog to run around. The property is mostly fenced, but a dog that likes to run off can easily escape if they wanted to. I don't let dogs outside unsupervised though, especially after dark.

About: I have taken care of friends and families animals for a long time, most animals in my life have needed more than the basic care levels. This has made me excel at sticking to schedules, feeding times, medicine and potty breaks are all something that is very common for me. I work part time on a changing schedule, this allows me to plan out a month in advance for any pet sitting needs. I can easily work my schedule into taking care of animals. I am someone who will stay or stop by your home while you are away depending on which service you would like from me. I am more than comfortable staying at your home so that the animals are less stressed while you are away.

“Melissa was great! Took great care of my cats while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely be my first reach out for future cat sitting needs!”

About: I don’t live in Aurora, but I split my time between Portland and Salem. If you live in the Portland area or Salem area or anywhere in between, I am happy to help you with your pet sitting needs. I grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. My earliest pet care was at the age of 10 taking care of my neighbors dogs and cats while they were gone. In my adult life, I've had one cat and 4 dogs. My current dog is a Standard Poodle named Percy. He's a huge love! I know your pets are your heart, too. I strive to give your pets my best love and care while you're gone, just like I would want someone to give Percy! I currently work from home, so I can pop in or stay over easily. I would hope that your pet is able to walk with Percy, because he would hate to be left out of the fun. Each pet is unique and will be respected. Grouchy kitty under the bed?? I’ll say hello extra sweet and then leave them be. Tigger-like active puppy? Let’s throw some balls in the yard! The pet that thinks my lap is there’s?? Good snuggles and lots of sweet talk, for sure! Let’s chat and see what your pet needs.

I am currently at home full time and don’t have plans on that changing anytime soon. I am able to work around your schedule and as needed. I have a few appointments a week but they are only one hour at a time. The rest of my time is free. I tend to take my two dogs to the park every day to play ball or run around (depending on weather sometimes). I would love to bring yours along as well. My dogs are very friendly and know how to give your pets their own space when needed. Please keep in mind that if you need a house/pet sitter, my two dogs would have to come with me as I am single and don’t have anyone to care for them. They are great with other dogs and cats. Fully potty chained. No chewing. Keeping safe distance from other animals, always leashed, never left at home alone, reassurance to help them feel safe in the new environment, treats, nap.
