Dog Sitting in Gaston

About: I have had animals my whole life (birds, cats, dogs, etc.) and have always fed, walked, groomed, and made sure they had plenty of outside play time as well. I've taken care of family and friends animals as well taking care to follow any specific instructions they have. I've cared for puppies and kittens newly born as well. Currently my roommate has two cats and a small dog as well that I help out with when she's busy. I love animals with all my heart and would love to be chosen to care for yours! I work part time 3 days a week so I have plenty of time for play, walks, and getting to just hang out with your pet! I'm available for boarding fri-tue because I work 3 am on the days I do work. I will be getting a new work from home job soon so my availability will open up! My roommate has 2 cats and a doxen/corgi mix. On the days she works I feed them all in the morning and take her dog out to use the bathroom every few hours throughout the day and we love to go to the park! I feed them all dinner on days she needs it as well.

“Our first experience with Eliza and So far all good. We have a dog that needs space with strangers and are reactive. She seems to have the skills and the knowledge to deal with it. Thanks 😊”

About: I’m new to public pet sitting but have experience with friends and family. I want to make pet parents feel comfortable while their fur kids are being taken care of. I work full time however I can be flexible with my time during the week and my weekends are open. If I’m able to get a month notice I can be more flexible with week day schedules. I really enjoy senior pets so if you want me to read to them or watch shows or cuddle with them I am your sitter . I have a fenced yard and a doggie door with a back yard camera. I also allow them to roam my house and can provide them a bed to sleep in or cuddle with them whichever fits their needs. I’m open to keeping the pets at their homes if that’s also more comfortable for the pet and family . I understand that some pets have unique needs and that there can be separation anxiety so please feel free to know your pets needs .

“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: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

“Amber went above and beyond! Loved getting the picture updates throughout service. She assisted with some training and made sure my boy was happy and comfortable :) Definitely recommend!!!”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I love them oh so dearly! I’ve stayed in homes of family friend dog owners for a few years now, mostly just taking care of the dogs and going on walks, as well as watering plants when needed. I’m not much of a cat person, I didn’t grow up with cats but I can do what is needed of me. I work part time, around 25 hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your babies and make sure they are well taken care of. I will care for your baby in your own home where they have all their favorite toys and comfort spots. I will take them for walks and give them all the snuggles they need!

“Adam has been great with our pup and communication has been top-notch.”

About: I currently have two dogs of my own, a Bernese Mountain Dog & Golden Retriever. I also grew up with Yorkies, Labs, & Heelers. In addition to dogs, I’ve taken care of pigs, horses, cows, bunnies, etc on our farm growing up. I’m a true animal lover through and through! I have experience with senior dogs & puppies, and am confident in being able to care for unique needs. Open to house sitting/dog sitting, walks, potty breaks, and anything in between! Happy to meet you and your animals before committing to make sure it’s the right fit for you! I currently work from home and will be available full time starting July 1. I can work from anywhere in the meantime and have a flexible schedule. I am comfortable with unique needs and staying in your home! We can meet prior to make sure I know their routines. My spouse is home with our dogs, so my focus will be on your animals while you’re away!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. Dogs are truly my favorite animals because of their unique personalities, loyalty, and the joy they bring. I am comfortable with all different breeds and sizes! I am currently a part time hairstylist that works only a few days throughout the week. I am currently totally free Monday through Wednesday with time some Saturdays for visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet stays on their normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I carefully follow all care instructions and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before leaving your home. For walks, I use secure leashing at all times and stay alert to our surroundings to keep your dog safe. I adjust the pace and distance based on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I avoid unsafe areas, extreme weather conditions, and interactions with unfamiliar dogs unless instructed otherwise. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own. You’ll always receive updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. 🐾

“Jennifer has been a stalwart drop-in sitter for our dog Guinness for half a year now. She has put up with schedule changes, a sick puppy, and miscommunication on our end with absolutely no guff. Truly the best possible sitter we could have ever wished for. Jennifer is the best. Can't recommend enough.”

About: Hi, my name is Siobhan (Shh-Von) I started recently caring for animals in a professional setting this year, but have had/cared for animals my whole life. Ask me for references, and I’d be happy to give them to you. I have experience for caring for all sizes and ages of dogs, cats, bunnies, small birds, and some experience with horses. I do work full time. I can check on your fur baby's after work in the evenings around 8pm, but I am also completely free Friday's and Saturday's! I have reliable transportation. I can come to you and your fur child when you need a check in, potty break, food, water, a walk, or overnight stay on Thursday nights or Friday nights.

About: PLEASE READ: I currently work in McMinnville so while I am able to pet sit, unless you live within 15 minutes of McMinnville, I will be unable to let animals out in the middle of the day. I've been caring for friends and family's pets for 6 years. I like keeping our furry friends on their schedule and company while loved ones are away. I'm comfortable giving medication and taking care of senior pets. I'm detail oriented and am happy to give status updated as needed. I'd love the chance to care for your pets like they were one of mine. I currently work full time so while I am able to pet sit and do walks, it would need to be close enough to do on my hour lunch break., Currently I prefer to care for pets at their own home, as I feel that being in the same environment helps being with a new person

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of dogs, I have grown up with dogs, and have taken care of my friends, family, and neighbors dogs. I’m currently a masters student at Portland State University, but I only have class on Mondays so my schedule is very open. Other than school, I work from home for a start-up called flowmind, where I have a very flexible schedule. I am easily adaptable, so whatever your dogs routine is I will be happy to follow any instructions given. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay.

“Colleen took great care of our two kitties while we were away for the weekend. We will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve always been a dog girl & for as long as i remember there has always been a dog in my house; truly the best feeling the relationship you can build with dogs. I am able to check in or even stay over night whenever , my schedule is pretty open with online school and only working friday nights and saturday nights from 4-9, besides that i can make time. I have a pretty big spacious house and a back yard that’s not closed all the way off with a fence but a pretty good open area , i will always make sure your pets feel loved and well taken care of.

About: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years now locally before joining Rover. I have done overnight care as well as just walks/drop-ins multiple times. I have expertise in all sizes from small to large pets as well. My schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to provide care to pets regularly, whether it's early morning or afternoon to night. My schedule allows me to provide assistance whenever needed for the pet-owner! Since I have two dashing St Bernards at home, my family and I normally feed them breakfast & dinner, and take them on walks frequently. In clients home, I intend to showcase the same love to their cutie animal during drop-ins or long period stays.

“Brittny is a very good communicator (was always easy to reach and she was quick with her replies). She provided timely photos/updates for our cat and after a couple of days he warmed up to her. Brittny loves animals and we felt confident leaving our cat with her. Definitely recommend!!”

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! I have taken care of senior dogs, including a miniature poodle and a long-haired Chihuahua. I am an animal lover who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!

About: I’ve begged my parents for a pet since I can remember. Since I never got one I love to help anyone out with theirs when I can. From puppies to elderly dogs I love them all. I’m trying to transition from my current job, but I can work work around my schedule. Size and age of dog don’t matter to me I have experience with almost every kind of dog. I always watch my sisters golden doodles when she needs me to, so playing for a long time and going on lengthy walks to help tire your doggie out is no problem. I can easily crate your dog when and if needed. Adhering to your pets daily routine is absolutely no problem with me.
