“Pakuna was wonderful and took great care of our kitties. They don’t have complicated meds but they require special care and she was friendly in our meet and greet, took great notes, followed instructions, and sent great pictures and notes throughout the visit. Highly recommend Pakuna for your pet care.”

“I am so grateful that Alyssa was able to look after my kitties on short notice--and doubly grateful that she was on hand to deal with an urgent medical issue with one of the kitties, which she did very professionally. Alyssa is one of those people who really "gets it" about cats. (Cat people know what I'm talking about 😃.) She gave my extrovert kitty tons of play and snuggle time, and he loved it. I will absolutely be using Alyssa's services in the future!”

About: I've taken care of pets, both my own fur babies and those of loved ones, my whole life! Whether it's walking your puppy during a long work day or making sure that your senior cat gets their medication on time when you're out of town, whether it's playing with your teacup Chihuahua or your giant mastiff mix, I am well versed in pet care and understand that while life may make demands on our time, that our furry friends still deserve uncompromised love and attention. I am currently not working and am currently seeking part time employment, so my schedule is fully open! I can help make sure that your pets get what they need at the times that work best for your routines. I have considerable experience working with and being around cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and care needs! Whether it's a little dog with a big personality, a gentle giant dog, a lazy cat, or an active kitten, you can rely on me to stay calm and steady to provide the best possible care for your animals and to meet them where they're at in terms of need for engagement and activity.

“Trevor was so good with our animals! We will be hiring him again. He is great at communicating and did a great job with all the pet care needs we require. Definitely recommend him!”

“Kayla was great! She is an excellent sitter. It’s easy to see that our cat really likes Kayla. We recommend using Kayla for your pet sitting needs.”

“Benjamin did an amazing job taking care of my 18-year-old cat Buster. He went over and above with his care of Buster , who needs medication for thyroid twice a day. He spent time with him, sent me lots of pictures and kept me up-to-date with everything that was happening. I recommend him without any hesitation at all. Thank you, Benjamin.”

“As always…Erin is thoughtful and diligent in her care. We have diabetic cat and Erin kept an eye on here glucose and gave shots as needed. She spends quality time with our senior girl that is reassuring for us and our little cat. Her reports are always informative along with pictures that leave us confident our little sweet girl is in great hands. 😊”

“Megan did a great job of letting me know what was on with my kitties while I was away. I was happily surprised that they actually came out to see her when she visited. Will feel confident about leaving the little ones in her care in future.”

Laura G.

“Astrid was great with Chris! He is a shy boy and was able to warm up to her after only a couple of days. She did great with giving him his daily meds.”

Samantha I.

“She’s sweet and kept me updated on my cats! She’s answered questions I had about the process and I’ve enjoyed seeing my cats at the end of the day (even my shy baby!). I would definitely recommend Daphne :)”

“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!”

“Shawnee is great! Very sweet and responsible. She took great care of my chickens and goats while out of town for a week. I will definitely request her services again!”

“Jamie did drop in visits for our cat and was great. She took care of all his needs and played with him and gave him lots of pets. She was super nice and our cat who is scared of most people was comfortable with her. She was always right on time for every check in and was great with communication and photos .”

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!

“Thanks Riley!”

“My cats LOVED Kaitlin! From the first time they met my cats were drawn to her 🥹 She went above and beyond my expectations! She is great! She gave me great updates and the Rover Cards were a joy to see! 10/10 would recommend!”

About: I am an certified veterinary technician and love doing dog AND cat sitting on the side! As well as exotics and farm animals, such as reptiles, rabbits and chickens! I live in SE Salem right next to some parks and a school. My yard is fully chain linked fence, about 5 ft tall. I provide access to the yard as needed, I don't leave the pet unattended! About this sitter: It's tough to find the right person who has the same love for your dog as you do and has the personality that's understanding and the comforting experience in the veterinary field. All any dog lover could ask for. Right here~! As for a personal reference about me, I am 35 years young and have 15 years of animal care experience. I have my own car, own my house, and I work at a veterinary clinic and LOVE it. Vet Technician for 14 years. Dog boarding experience for 12+ years. Dog grooming experience for 1 year. Volunteered at multiple shelters. Why I love dog sitting When I was 5 years old my mom was taking a home video. I was telling her how when I was all grown up I was going to be a doggy doctor. Funny how childhood dreams play out. I am now steadily working in the Veterinary field. Meet my pets 3 Cats and 2 yr old malinois. About my yard Medium fenced yard! 5 ft chain-link fence. My experience administering medication Very. It's done daily at my normal job. I work most days (never weekends) but only for 4-5 hours in the morning. My schedule is also flexible so I can be home whenever is needed. I have a large fenced yard, dog kennels and free roam of the house. My couch is ready for the snuggles and we have kids who are dog friendly to give the love! We also go to the park in walking distance every day for the able pets.

“Sam was so communicative when it came to our pups! They provided pictures and updates throughout the whole stay! Will definitely book again!”
