House Sitting Folkenberg

“Mike took excellent care of my cat and my home. The kitty was happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything seemed ship shape otherwise. Thank you!”

“Eliza did a wonderful job taking care of the house and pets! We are so appreciative of her attention to detail and her kind and patient demeanor towards the animals. We have an elderly dog that needs more care and barks often and our dog warmed up to Eliza right away.”

About: Hi, I’m Marci, and I’m your dog’s second best friend! I'm a licensed massage therapist for people, horses and dogs. I'm very intuitive, nurturing and compassionate, and I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years. I work from home part time so I'm home every day, which means I can hang out with your dog all day! I love just about everything about dogs, from the way they curiously sniff the air during walks, to when they eagerly nudge my hand for a pet or massage. I treat all animals like family, and make sure they have what they need and want. If you leave your dog with me, you can rest assured they will be pampered with plenty of love, affection, and patience. I also know canine CPR and have basic medical skills. My goal is to provide a safe, trusted and loving environment for your pet so you wont have to worry while you're away. For additional peace of mind all dogs in our care will wear a GPS collar that can be tracked at all times. I truly feel that dogs are like people -- they are each unique and special in their own way! I would love to know what makes your dog different and unique, down to those hidden quirks and personality traits. Dogs bring out the best in me: my compassion, empathy, love, and encouragement all improve when I spend time with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I promise to shower your dog with all these things, and more! If your dog loves the outdoors, exploration, and long walks, then I’m the right sitter for your! I love to hike and horseback ride on my horse. I love to take my dogs to new places and introduce them to new experiences. One of my favorite seasons is summer, just because I can spend more time outside. However, the cold fall and winter weather means I get to snuggle up with your dog indoors -- either way, it’s a win! In addition to dogs, I have experience with horses, cats, gerbils, rats, hamsters, and birds. I am here to make whatever pet you have feel comfortable, but you’re my client, too! Let me know what you need to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me, including how many updates you would like. I’d love to meet you and your pet, so please contact me to set up a Meet and Greet. I’m sure we’ll be fast friends in no time.

About: I have had a variety of dog breeds my whole life. Mostly rescues across all ages. I have puppy experience as well as senior dog experience. Additionally I have done elder and developmental disability care for people. I believe in honesty, empathy, and compassion for those under my care. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work and have an internship part time 3x per week (both remote work) , so I would like to fill the rest of my time to support myself financially ❤️ *no school/ internship until August 2026* I am very attentive and keep a close eye on pets at all times. I try and service my clients by appealing to their needs and sensibilities and not my own. Having worked as a caregiver for people with dementia and adults with developmental disabilities has prepared me to be alert and aware at all times.

“Absolutely amazing! Tiffany and her family are the perfect house sitters. We got loads of pictures of them with our dog Maggie and our Cat Nova. We were gone for 6 days and worried for none of them. The house was just as clean as we left it and our animals were very happy. She was prepared and did a wonderful job. Would highly recommend to anyone needing house sitting, pet sitting or walking services. Will be using in the future.”

“It was a pleasure having Deborah sit with our 14 year old pup Dexter. Deborah quickly responded to our initial inquiry and met with Dex and I shortly afterwards. She communicated the day before her scheduled sit and arrived promptly at an agreed upon time. She asked all the appropriate questions about feeding, Dexter's daily routine, and what she could do to keep him comfortable during our absence. Deborah communicated during her sit to let us know that all was well. We returned to a happy dog and a tidy house. Would recommend Deborah and we will be using her services again.”

“Jess is absolutely the best! Have hired her multiple times for dog/house-sitting and will continue to do so. Excellent care of dog and puppy, reliable, great communication, always cleans up after herself, just the best!!”

About: My experience involves pet sitting and house sitting for 5 households, totaling about 10 cats and dogs. My sister has several years of vet tech experience and has given me some tips along the way. I have practice with giving pets medications and catering to their special dietary needs. Each and every pet I’ve had the privilege of spending time with has a special place in my heart. I would be grateful to care for your wonderful pets before returning to the University of Oregon in the Fall. I’m in need of work this summer before returning to my psychology degree studies and volunteer research lab assistant position. I have trips planned this summer and otherwise my routine is very flexible! I always try to meet pets’ usual routines! I am used to cleaning litter twice daily, feeding 2-3 times daily, scooping poop, cleaning and filling water dishes/fountains, cleaning up pet accidents, and of course, giving my love and attention and sending pictures to owners.

“Helped us out with really short notice. The dogs loved her and she did an excellent job. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others.”

Jay S.

“Ryleigh took such great care of Ruby and was great about sending multiple pictures every day while I was gone. This is the second I’ve worked with Ryleigh and I’ll definitely have her stay with Ruby again in the future.”

“There is a reason Peter has so many amazing reviews! We have pups that come from abusive pasts and take a while to warm up to anyone. As soon as Peter arrived for the meet and greet both of my dogs were relaxed around Peter and even came to him for pets and attention. Peter has a very calm energy and is very skilled and patient at knowing how to give dogs the space they need to make them feel safe. We needed a sitter for a two and half week trip to Europe and we had so much peace of mind knowing that Peter was there for our sweet pups! With the daily updates and photos it was so nice to see our pups snuggling and bonding with Peter and we will definitely be booking with him for our next trip! Thank you, Peter! You are appreciated more than you could imagine!”

About: i was born and raised around animals big & small. i loved taking my dogs on walks growing up and now i only have space for cats, and i miss dog affection. i need to be outside more this summer and figured it would be fun to walk other peoples dogs! i pet sit family and friends pets often so i know how to care care of/ clean up after animals. come to me for all your walking/potty break/ overnight babysitting needs :) i work a typical 8-5 job. Outside of those hours I'm always free for a walk/potty break! My weekends are also open for the same needs, and we can discuss overnight stays with your pets if its of interest! I treat pets as family and i talk to them with the most kindness and respect. I can follow tight schedule if supplying medication/when feeding.

“Makenna did an excellent job taking care of my Cavalier King Charles spaniel, who is a one person devoted dog (to me), and is therefore, heart-broken when I leave her. She gave her plenty of walks, and took her with when she would be gone longer periods of time so she would not be lonely! The house was just as I left it and she was very responsible. It was a pleasure to come home to zero issues. I would hire Mckenna again for Lucy for certain!”

“Alejandra did such an awesome dog watching my boys Jiggs and Stormy. She house sat all day while I had to be away attending to a family event and I knew they were in good hands. She sent pictures during the day and was responsive to texts. Both dogs were well cared for and well supervised. Knowing they were in good hands allowed me to enjoy the day. Thank you so much!”

About: I have been taking care of my own dog and my friends dog for more than 4 years, I love walking around with pups and also taking dogs to hike and swim. I am now taking a break from my current IT job and have plenty of time every day to play with your 4 legs baby. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly and playful border collie dog her name is Bella to keep your dog’s company and to play with.

“Sarah took excellent care of our cats and dog over a weekend. When we arrived home the animals were relaxed—even our extremely neurotic dog. Everything was clean and tidy. She was communicative and flexible with our schedule. She did a great job. We’ll happily book with her again!”

Alexis S.

“Maria is absolutely fantastic!! She was wonderful with our dogs and they are ALOT - one senior and one 60lb+ puppy. She sent us updates and photos and took the BEST care of our dogs and our house. We were far away for a week and she gave us total peace of mind and I mean total, I am a world-class worrier and I had no concerns. She is kind and completely in charge. The dogs loved her - honestly I think they've been missing her since we got home. Our house was cleaner than when we left it, with clean sheets on the bed and a load of laundry in the dryer. She's wonderful. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and currently have two family dogs. I help with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they are happy and safe. Growing up with my dogs has taught me how to be responsible and attentive! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I already enjoy walking and being outside, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and lifestyle Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of following routines, providing exercise, and making sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. I will carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, or special needs and provide regular updates!

“Enola really enjoyed her time with Topher. Initially I was nervous because this was my first time leaving her with a dog sitter and Topher made sure to ease my nerves by providing constant updates and letting me know how Enola was doing throughout the day. That helped a lot. She seemed pretty happy when I return which means she had a good time!”

“Bryan did such an amazing job with my two pups, a golden retriever and a Bernese mountain dog. He sent me multiple updates, walked them a ton and sent me photos. I’d highly recommend him!!”
