Cat Sitting in Fox Valley

“Karly came to my house once a day for 4 days to feed my 2 cats, the fish in my aquarium, my 14 hens and one wild hen turkey who recently moved in with the chickens. I also asked if she’d collect eggs. She had never fed chickens so I gave her directions for feeding. And collecting eggs. Oh - and she cleaned the cat box. So the cats hid each day she was here. Never saw them once. Seems like everything went smoothly. I think as a Rover pet sitter she went above and beyond the call of duty. I am very thankful she was here taking care of my critters. I hope she’s willing to return one day.”

“Shawnee did an amazing job taking care of my cats , they both were comfortable with her right away. She went out of her way to check on a problem we had with our automatic feeder, thankful for that. We received photos daily and updates on our cats. I’ll definitely book her again when we need someone to watch over our cats.”

“Richard was great with my two cats! Super communicative and was able to administer medicine. Would recommend to any cat owners!”

About: I have all kinds of animals my whole life including dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, cattle and pigs. I am currently going to Linn-Benton studying animal science. I am currently going to school in the early afternoons Monday-Thursday so I have plenty of time to care for your babies afternoons, nights, and early mornings. I have a fully fenced yard for your dogs to play in. I have access to a crate if necessary or required. I also have a spayed female dog to keep them company.

About: Hello my name is sarah I am 24 and I have been house/pet sitting for about 11 years now and have plenty of experience with farm animals and also have plenty of references you can contact if need be I also have my license and my own vehicle in case I need to take anyone to the vet. I also do not have a job other than this which means I will be with your animals 24/7 I also have worked with aggressive and special needs animals I also have tons of experience with exotic animals and birds like kangaroo's, big birds, and insects I currently don't have a job because I have been in 3 different accidents as a passenger my last accident was in 2022 and honestly I shouldn't be alive but I am glad I survived due to that accident I have a bulging disk in my lower back this is my only job and income. I don't do pet care in my own home I am sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you understand. Have a blessed day.

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals for over 5 years and have hands-on experience with large breeds, working dogs, reactive dogs, and high-energy personalities. I currently own German Shepherds as well as two chinchillas, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, structure, enrichment, and maintaining a safe environment. I’m comfortable with crate routines, medication administration, basic training reinforcement, long walks, litter box care, feeding routines, and reading animal body language. My professional background in high-stress environments has also made me calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone else, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week, but I’m still able to provide dependable drop-in care and quality engagement for pets. I’m available for evening drop-in visits during the weekdays and can provide up to two visits per day on weekends. During visits, I focus on more than just feeding and potty breaks — I make sure pets receive attention, enrichment, playtime, affection, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to routines, behavioral cues, and making animals feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. Safety, structure, and trust are extremely important to me when caring for animals. I have experience with large breeds, reactive dogs, cats, and small animals, so I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and maintaining calm, controlled interactions. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, crate rotations, leash handling, and household rules. I prioritize secure handling during walks and visits, double-check doors, gates, harnesses, and crates, and always aim to create a calm and positive environment for pets. I also believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to help owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

About: I was raised in a dog and cat household and loved taking care of them. For the brief time in my adulthood that I did not have a pet, I would dog/cat sit for a various families often. I am fond of elderly dogs/cats and have taken care a few (including giving medications, shots, cooking specific diets, etc). I am also comfortable feeding farm animals such as horses and mules. I work full-time from my home allowing flexible time to play and care for animals. My outings are usually quick errands around town so my pets get a lot of dog mom time! I am available to do longer stays given that I work remote and love making pets feel safe and comfortable whilst their owners are away. I have a fenced-in yard and 2 friendly dogs (lab and border collie mix) to keep your furry loved one company! I also play music often for myself and for the dogs. I find it helps soothe some anxiety for them as well!

About: Know what it's like to own dogs since childhood. Tell me what they love, like, and hate. Love to bring gifts for the dog(s) anytime. Also been a great house sitter and pet sitter for my mother in the past when she visited grandkids for a week in California. As far in advance as possible since I also do crowd management seasonally but haven't worked since April 1st. P.S. A page from the daily calendar for Life Hacks encouraged me to join and I do know someone on Rover.com named Stephen. He's a dog sitter, owner, and trainer. I live in a condo on the ground level with a patio and a view of Mill Creek. I'd prefer to house and/or pet watch at your place.

“Alivia was great with our two golden retrievers! She did drop ins for us during the day while we were working. She brought our dogs toys and treats. Phoebe and Winston give this rover sitter a A++! We will definitely use Alivia in the future!”

“Cassandra was a very caring and patient sitter for my cat, Reagen. I was nervous about leaving Reagen because she is a foster I have had for 4 months and she is still acclimating. Everything went well and I appreciated the pictures and updates Cassandra sent during her drop in visits.”

“Tabitha took care of Cyrus for me when I was out of town on short notice!! She was great with a large doggie and showed cute pics each day. We'll hopefully use her in the future!!”

About: • Veterinary student • Fear Free • *pending BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification coming 05/16* • • Transparent, reliable, and attentive care backed by extensive clinical experience • I’m Jennifer, a 2nd yr veterinary student at Oregon State University with an interest in small animal medicine and feline-centered care. I have 10+ years of hands-on experience working with (primarily) dogs and cats in both shelter and clinical environments. I began volunteering at the Arizona Humane Society, where I provided daily care and enrichment for incoming and resident animals. I later worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal general practice clinic for 4–5 years, gaining extensive experience with patient handling, client communication, and medical care in a fast-paced setting, while completing a bachelors in pre-veterinary medicine and a wildlife management certificate. To supplement my extensive academic training, I have pursued Fear Free Certification and Cat Friendly Veterinary Practitioner certification to better understand how to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals in the shelter and clinic environment. I carry those principles into every visit, prioritizing calm, low-stress care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and personality. In addition, I am fully bonded and insured, and I maintain independent professional coverage beyond Rover platform protections. Currently, I am progressing on completing the BLS/ALS CPR certification through the RECOVER Initiative (the evidence-based standard used in veterinary medicine) and I will officially have that achievement met on May 16th! Additionally, I am continuing to expand my Fear Free certification in the coming weeks to include a higher tier of canine/feline care and a broader range of species in general.  I am comfortable administering medications through a variety of routes and have experience caring for multiple species, including dogs, cats, and backyard poultry such as chickens and turkeys. While the majority of my experience is within the small animal realm, I have additional experience with a variety of species. Providing these services are an extension of my training and long-term career in veterinary medicine. I strive to provide thoughtful, consistent care so you can feel confident that your pet is in capable hands. One of my goals is to maintain your pet’s routine, while also monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health while you’re away. I am currently transitioning into a full-time veterinary assistant role in a clinic in Eugene, OR, but I will do my best to accommodate any services in my time outside of the clinic. Thank you for sticking around to learn about me. I’d love to meet your fur kids! I am currently a 2nd year veterinary student that has needed to take a medical deferral for a year. I plan to return to OSU CCVM to finish my doctorate degree, during the Winter 2027 term. During the month of May '26, I expect to be transitioning into a veterinary clinic job in Eugene, OR. I will do my best to accommodate all requests in the meantime and I will be transparent about any scheduling conflicts. I am hoping to spend the next year focusing on my health, continuing my veterinary learning at a pace that suits my current needs, spending time with my cats and my partner, and exploring OR. I will reliably provide updates on the status of your pets and provide immediate reports if I notice anything abnormal or medically concerning during our visit. I am always available to be contacted if there are any concerns during the services or leading up to the services. In my time off from veterinary school, I plan to pursue BLS/ALS RECOVER CPR certification in Portland, OR in mid May. Fingers crossed that I am able to find a class with space but I will update my profile once I have official certification shortly! How cool to have a legit medical professional as a pet/house sitter while you're away! 😎 On top of being an approved Rover sitter/covered by the Rover guarantee, I have additional insurance coverage and am bonded through an external company to simply give myself and your family peace of mind while you're away!

About: I grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well! Aside from cats and dogs, I especially enjoy caring for horses (feel free to inquire separately!), rodents, reptiles, chickens, and more. Available almost everyday/nights and open to all inquiries. Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can. Recently graduated with a bachelors degree as well as running a creative art business from home, I create lots of time in my days to be on call for you and your pet(s)! Home for me is located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland, so I can provide more care across cities. For me, pet care is fulfilling and provides normalcy to my days. Whether it is my roommates 2 tuxedo cats with opposite personalities, my best friends cats, family, friends' dogs, neighbors, or somebody I just met in need of pet care, I am there! Shoot me a message anytime and I will reply promptly. Your fur baby's safety and well-being is my top priority. I strive to ensure clients feel safe and comfortable leaving their loved ones in my hands. Please make sure you inform me of any bad/unwanted (or good!) habits your pet may have so I can provide the best care I can. I enjoy sending pictures and video updates of pets to owners throughout the day- feel free to ask for more (or less!) I do not offer my home for boarding. While in your home, whether it be drop-ins or stay-ins, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness and privacy of your space and neighbors. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly.

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.

“Erica was WONDERFUL! She responded promptly to our last minute request for a drop-in visit for our pup, Olive. Erica sent us updates about the visit with photos! We hope to use Erica’s services again in the future. I submit my highest recommendation”

About: I’m a college student home for the summer who genuinely loves being around animals and making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very responsible, dependable, and patient, and I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and helping pets feel less anxious while their families are gone. I also have experience caring for both energetic younger dogs and older pets who may need a calmer environment and extra patience. I’m very attentive and will treat your pets the way I would want someone to treat my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I always want both pets and owners to feel comfortable. I’m home from college for the summer, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine and gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop ins, and spending quality time with pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of routines and instructions and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, food, water, and care. I pay close attention to behavior and safety during walks, feedings, and visits, and I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet.

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!
