House Sitting in Fruitvale

About: I’m passionate about providing loving and reliable care for pets. With several years of experience and a lifelong love for animals, I understand that every pet is unique. I offer a calm and patient approach, making sure your furry family member feels comfortable and safe in their own home environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles on the couch, I’m here to give your pet the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I have currently retired, allowing me to offer a very flexible schedule, 7 days a week. I have a reliable car. Not opposed to taking dogs for a fun ride to hike a trail, or on long walks. You can count on regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members

“Amazing. Sent us great pictures of the cat and dog during her time with them. Awesome communication before and during. The dog and cat and house (in that order) were very well cared for. Thank you Maya!”

About: Hi there! My partner and I are available for pet sitting and house sitting. Between the two of us we will keep your pet company and be able to take them out for regular exercise. I go trail running & we go biking regularly so high energy dogs will have plenty of opportunity for exercise. We are also very used to caring for senior animals and going at their pace. Administering medications are no issue for us. Matt works from home and I am studying nutrition so your pets will not be left home alone for long durations if time. Matthew works from home so he will be a constant companion. I am currently studying so I will be able to love on your pet and take them out for walks & stimulation outside of the home. We prefer to follow your pets routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m a regular trail runner and we enjoy biking so energized animals will have the opportunity for plenty of exercise. We’re also very happy for long and slow walks for the elderly. I tend to be very snuggly with all animals and will send many photos during our stay.

“Erin is amazing!!! Not only is she punctual but immediately became Baileys best friend. She understands pups and gives them such special attention and care. Best sitter ever!!! You can’t go wrong, we highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

“Olivia has been super-attentive and responsive. She took the best care of Piper as evidenced by such great photos of our happy dog. Thanks for taking her to the waterfront as well. And she housesat as well which was an extra comfort. Worth every penny and then some. Thanks Olivia!”

Jason M.

“Ross was great!! He took care of all needs for my two dogs that I asked him to. He left my home clean and gave lots of photo updates, which helped me since I’ve never left them with a stranger before!! I would use him again for sure!!”

Molly A.

“I feel like we hit the jackpot with Olivia! Her communication was fantastic and we received photos and updates from her the entire time we were away. Our home was immaculate, like she was never here! But most of all, we knew our pets were cared for and loved by her while we were gone and that is priceless!”

Marisa W.

“Took great care of both my cats, one of which was a baby kitten that needed to be bottle fed. She also bathed the kitten and gave my adult cat meds along with playtime overall a great sitter :)”

Sergio C.

“Christopher was great again with our corgi boys! We realized as we were leaving that their food would likely run out while we were away, and Christopher offered to run to the pet store which we so appreciated! Thanks for going above and beyond!”

Stevanie F.

“Karen is amazing with our pups! We could tell our dogs were very happy and well taken care of by Karen while we were gone. She also took care of our house and watched our pups at home so that they could be in their regular environment. We are glad we were able to find her after we moved to the coast!”

About: I love dogs plain and simple and am hoping to do something more constructive with my free time. I have owned and raised dogs since I was a kid and have a deep affection for them. I am very active so I can wear your pup out or can keep it calm and indoors if need be. I recently lost my Lab, Zapa, to old age and could use all of the puppy love I can get. I am open and flexible to many different situations so special requests are welcome. Your dog will get plenty of attention while I am around! I am currently working part time and would love to spend my free time with pups. Available most weekends and weekdays and am usually able to check on pets during the day. I am currently renting an apartment on a farm that doesn't allow other dogs, but, I have a vehicle and flexible schedule to come to the pet most times of day. Happy to take the dog on walks and/or adventures or just let them out and give them some attention.

About: Experience with feeding, bathing, and cleaning dogs/cats, dog walking and pet/house sitting experience, contributed to training a service dog, and walking puppies. I also have experience with rodents/other animals. I am currently working full-time during the week, but am available on weekends (Fri-Sun) and during Oregon Spring Break for full-time pet sitting or drop-ins. I am very clean and considerate and will make your pet my first priority. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible, especially if you are gone. I will stay attentive to their individual needs.

“Great communication! Her demeanor, experience and attention to detail made it easy to entrust the care of our home and furry kids in her capable hands. Would recommend! 👍”

“Matthew was great with Jackson. Would definately have them back.”

“Holly was awesome with my dog. She watched her for 3 nights. Was very communicative and asked me questions when unsure. Sent me lots of pics of my baby which means a lot. Also my dog can be particular about who she trusts but I can tell they got along great and she was well cared for. Thanks Holly !”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I am highly knowledgeable about dog care, behavior, and overall well-being. I have experience helping whelp puppies and have cared for and trained dogs throughout every stage of life, from puppies to seniors. I currently have a senior dog myself, giving me firsthand experience with the special attention older pets need. In addition to dogs, I have farm experience caring for horses, pigs, chickens, and other animals. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same love and attention I give my own animals. Let’s plan a day for me to come do a meet and greet :) I currently work full time, but I am transitioning to part-time in the near future to dedicate even more time to pet care. Until then, I am available on weekends and am committed to providing dependable, attentive care to every pet I look after. As my schedule becomes more flexible, I look forward to expanding my availability and spending even more time doing what I love most—caring for animals. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and I am dedicated to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free environment, caring for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand that many pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, and I am committed to maintaining their routines and giving them the individualized attention they deserve. With experience caring for animals of all ages, I am attentive, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and compassionate.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, and pet-sitting professionally for over 10 years now. I am particularly experienced and confident in caring for senior animals, pets needing medication, and those who are particularly shy or need that extra emotional consideration. You'll notice me take the extra time to get to know your pet and the nuances of their personality and needs. I offer animals the slowness and presence needed for deep listening and attunement: two qualities that help build trust. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and good at communication. I'm used to planning my schedule and time around the needs of the animals I'm caring for, and am always ready to apply my extensive knowledge for unexpected situations that may arise. Some of my recent clients include a rowdy pack of 5 dogs of various size and breed, a senior cat with hyperthyroidism who switches her food preferences daily, a blind and deaf senior dog who loves to play, and a farm sanctuary with over 20 animals, including pigs rescued from a neglect situation and feral cats being socialized for the first time. If your animal needs a bit more time and care to feel comfortable around someone new, takes medication or is navigating ongoing health conditions, or is at higher likelihood of needing veterinarian intervention while you're away, these are situations where I have both experience and confidence. For me, animal care isn't just about completing all the tasks that need to be done for the well-being of our animal family members. It's about creating a relationship of trust with the animals relying on me, as well as their human guardians. Entrusting your beloved pet to another person, as well as opening your home to them, is something you deserve to feel secure and confident in. And your pet deserves to feel truly cared for, understood, and prioritized while you're away. With my years of experience both personally and professionally, and my special skills for medical and emotional complexity, I know I can provide a pet-care experience where trust flows in all directions. Pet-care is my main job (and joy) which I orient the rest of my living schedule around. I have lots of flexibility to form my schedule around your animal's needs. My most commonly booked form of pet-sitting is overnight care in the pet's home. This can put the pets at ease and lets them maintain their usual routines. I have lots of experience doing overnights, and am a clean, considerate, and respectful house guest, to the recommendation of all of my clients (happy to give references). I also offer visits / drop-ins throughout the day, and am consistent and timely in these visits.

About: Hello! My name is Jasmine and I love furry beings of all kinds. I would especially love to take your dog(s) on walks this winter. Growing up I lived with many different pets because my mom is also an animal lover and a vet tech. I have experience with sitting and transporting dogs, cats, and even rats. I also have some experience with goats and chickens. For 2 years I worked through Citizenshipper which is a platform that connects pet owners with pet transporters. And have gone on many several-day road trips with pets. This involves many walks, potty breaks, photo updates, and meal stops, as well as overnight care. I’m no longer on that platform but offer the same services here on Rover. Trusting me to care and be responsible for your pet is an honor that I never take lightly! Feel free to message me with any questions. -Jasmine I have full availability to care for your pet every day or night of the week if need be! I want this to be my full time job. I will care for your pets as if they were my own! Let's talk about what your pet(s) needs in order to be comfortable while you're gone so I can accommodate them 😊

“Megan sat for our dog for 2 weeks and she kept us up to date and how our dog was doing. She will be our sitter from now on. She’s one of the best that we had.”

“Ruby took great care of my two dogs. I felt confident leaving the furry kids with her and she kept me informed. The dogs were very comfortable with her. I recommend her. If I must travel again, I will be calling Ruby.”
