Cat Sitting in Fir Villa

“We appreciated that Molly went above and beyond to adjust timing of one of the visits based on our needs, and that she also came by for an extra unscheduled visit to make sure our kitty was eating. Very sweet.”

“We almost had to cancel a day trip, but fortunately, Stephanie and Spencer came to the rescue! We truly had a last minute (day before) booking request and they were able to accommodate us. This was our first time having “drop in” visits for our dog, as he is rarely left home alone for more than a few hours at a time. We are happy to say, it worked out well! Our dog loves people, but not other dogs, so we can’t send him to doggy day care when we want to get out and about for a whole day. Thank you, Spencer for checking on Oliver and hope you and Stephanie will consider “baby sitting” for us again.”

“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.”

“We felt very comfortable leaving our cats in Cristy’s care. She has a nice calm demeanor which goes a long way with animals especially kitties . Shes dependable, completed all things necessary , communicated well and spent some quality time with our cats. We will definitely use Cristy in the future.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Stephanie! She has been doing check-ins for our two dogs, Dave and Waffles, and we I'm so grateful to have found her. From the start, Stephanie has been incredibly communicative and quick to respond — which as a pet parent means everything. She consistently sends photos and updates that genuinely put our minds at ease while we are away. You can see just how happy Dave and Waffles are in every single picture, and that says it all. She is trustworthy, reliable, and it is clear she truly cares about the dogs in her care. Our pups absolutely adore her and I would not hesitate to book with her again. If you are looking for someone who will treat your fur babies like her own, look no further than Stephanie — she is the best!”

“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.

“My'chaela was booked last minute to care for our 15 yo cat, and did a wonderful job, stopping by twice a day to feed & medicate. We booked her again in a few weeks. We have found a good,reliable pet sitter and are looking forward to having My'Chaela provide that care”

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.

“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.”

“Aidan is the best! We’ve had her walk our pup and come by to take care of our other animals while we’ve been gone, and she’s been wonderful every time.”

About: I have 20 years Experience taking care of dogs and cats. I walked daily, rain or shine. Flexible schedule. Comfortable following any training, rules, administering medication, walking your dog or just hanging out with your pets. I walked daily and would Love to walk your dog. 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. I listen to the needs of the client and follow their house rules for their pets.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents raised and trained wirehaired pointing dogs, which gave me an early introduction to dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care. Today, our home is shared with five dogs and two cats, giving me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. Our pets range from young adults to seniors, including a senior Chihuahua, a spirited Chiweenie, a 120-pound Boxer/Mastiff mix who still thinks he’s a lap dog, and two rescued littermates with unique backgrounds and endless affection. Because of this, I am comfortable caring for pets at many different life stages—from energetic younger animals to senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I have experience with medication administration, basic grooming, nail trimming, bathing, litter box maintenance, and recognizing when something may be off with a pet’s health or behavior. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. Whether they want to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax in their favorite spot, I strive to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care that helps them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I currently work 8 to 5 Monday through Thursday. However, if need be, I can come in before work, after work and anytime of the day Friday through Sunday. Our dogs have a huge yard to play in, cozy beds to sleep in and get special treats a few times a week. There is never a shortage of pets and cuddles with 7 animals.

“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: 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!

“mckenzy was great! went above to make sure my pup felt the love and was well cared for. communicated any problems so i felt at ease.”

About: I have grown up caring for all kinds of animals. I have the most experience with dogs, and small animals. Most of my family pets I provided main care for. Because of this I have grown a stronger sense of patience for pets, and have learned what will help them be more successful in their day as well as mine. I still am happy to learn more about the pets individual personality, and earning their trust. Though it is not my main career path it is something I am very passionate about. I volunteered at humane societies in my past free time. Though it is not something I can continue, I hope to make up for it by working with other pet owners. Thank you I currently work from home, though it is a part time job. Walks can be done 24/7 for whatever the pet may find necessary. Pets are considered in every part of the day from walks to the trash bins and fetching mail, to meal times and what is comfortable and safe. Born and raised in here in Salem, OR. My home is in a park filled neighborhood, with many walkable paths! A large, shade filled backyard.

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!
