House Sitting In Haden Island

“We all loved Renata, especially my dog, Mango. He was so happy and relaxed when we came home. Totally different attitude then when we pick him up from the kennel. Renata was a great pet-sitter and we will definitely use her again. We especially appreciate her flexibility of also helping with our chickens.”

“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.”

“Our house was cleaner than when we left I think :) Kitties all seemed happy. Jamie sent lots of picture updates and kept in touch the entire time, which I appreciated. I would happily use Jamie again”

“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”

“Felicia did a wonderful job watching our fur babies. I really appreciated the pictures and communication. She was responsible, friendly, and genuinely cared about our pups. 10/10 would book again!”

“Ashley, a wonderful, friendly young lady who is easy to like instantly, my 2 corgies loved her, and appear to be missing her this moment! I was away for 10 days. She stayed at my home, sent photos and updates regularly and found ways to exercise them, even on rainy days. Ashley came over to my home prior to me leaving so she could meet me and the dogs, which I very much appreciated, the dogs instantly loved her. I will certainly use Ashley’s services again”

“James came and took care of our dogs last minute on Halloween. Super nice. Communication was easy. We would definitely book with him again, thank you again James!”

“Catherine and Josh were great with our pup that requires special attention and care! They ensured they had all the information and put our minds at ease. We came home to a happy and tired dog, with is no small feat! Would definitely recommend and use them again.”

About: I have had experience with many different types of breeds and ages. I have seen it all! I have grown up with dogs and have experience with rescue/ shelter pups. Fun fact: I have leash-trained all of our family dogs ranging from 11-70lbs, assisted in potty training, and in January 2025 I began working as a part-time veterinary assistant! Since about age 17, I have volunteered at my local dog shelter in my spare time and helped friends and family bathe, feed, and walk their pets! I have a sweet spot for senior dogs; I have one of my own (Oreo) who is very spoiled with love and treats! My weekend availability is very open. On weekdays Mondays-Fridays it varies, since I do work in healthcare. I am available before 8am and after 5pm weekdays, but feel free to ask for specific availability if you need a pet sitter/drop in visits, as I can be flexible sometimes! I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :) I always make sure to prioritize the safety and comfort of your pet. Your pet will be supervised and if there is anything specific your pet or you need from me, please do not hesitate to ask. My job is to provide the best experience for you and your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know it can be difficult to leave your fur baby under the care of another person, and I dedicate myself to making you feel at ease knowing your canine or feline will be well taken care of! I like to know as much information about each pet to create a loving, safe, and trusting environment for each furry friend.

“We continue to use Malissa every time we travel. Whether it’s a weekend or 14 days. She leaves our home just as we left it and most importantly our animals are loved and well cared for.”

“Christina stayed overnight with our two large dogs, one of which has many medical issues, and took incredible care of them! They made sure the pups went out, had their meds on time, and left the house in fantastic condition. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have deep care for the animals we get to live with and I take this joyous role very seriously. I’ve been a dog mom myself and it would always bring me some anxiety to leave him with a new sitter. I’m here to answer any questions and meet your pup(s) to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies learning the ropes, to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra patience. I’m comfortable with specific care needs such as administering medications, following special feeding routines, and giving extra attention to pets with health concerns. I’m self-employed and split my time between working from home and from my office. My schedule is flexible most days, which means I can usually adjust my day to fit your dog’s needs — whether that’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. I make sure pets aren’t left waiting too long and always work around their normal routines so they stay comfortable and happy. I take care of pets right in their own homes, where everything smells familiar and feels safe. I’ve found that staying in their own space helps them relax so much more while you’re away. I really try to keep things feeling “normal” for them — same routines, same little habits, same comforts. I’ll follow your instructions closely so your pet’s day feels as similar as possible to having you home. I pay attention when we go on walks — checking leashes, making sure doors and gates are secure, and watching for anything that might make your pup uncomfortable. I’m more than happy to slow down if your pet needs a little extra care. Whether that’s meds, quiet time, or lots of cuddles, I meet them where they are and give them plenty of patience and love. I treat your home with care and respect, and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own. I want you to be able to relax, knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and so well loved while you’re away.

About: I have a great passion for animals. I have grown up around cats, dogs, horses, and cows. I am well-trained in taking exceptional care of animals and maintaining cleanliness as we go about our day! I would love to meet your fur babies❤️ Pet care is a daily occurrence for me. I am careful to make sure my own pets are well-fed, well exercised, and getting plenty of love! I'm happy to abide by any rules the owner gives me in their home or in my home. My apartment is too small to care for large dogs as I also have two cats; my only request is that is acommidable!

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs from ages 4 months to 12 years! I like to learn each animals needs and modify my care for them! I work three days a week and keep an open schedule to care for others’ animals the other four days in the week! I have a flexible schedule and can even help on the days I am scheduled at my main job! I always ask for your preferences for your animals! Whether this includes walk length, treats and food, and even mannerisms, I always want to make sure YOU and your animals are comfortable!

“Karen is everything you want when leaving an anxious weimaraner alone with a pet sitter for the first time. She’s communicative, sending updates by text and video to keep the anxious pet parents at ease. She’s compassionate, understanding Poppy’s need to speak out loud and sleep really close. She’s calming for all of us. We are confident we have found the perfect dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and dogs & got my first taste of hands-on pet care when I got my sweet pup for my 8th birthday. Fast forward, I now have the privilege of loving that same dog’s two puppies (who are now 10 years old). I work from home and walk my girls every 2-3 hours. I can exercise high energy dogs or make walks shorter and easier for senior pups. I’m very affectionate and love cuddly pups and kitties. I’m happy to tailor care to your animal’s needs & love them like my own! I’m also comfortable administering medications. I work from home full time so pet care is easy and flexible for me. I walk my girls every 2-3 hours and will be happy to do the same for your pup. Whenever I do leave, I try not to be gone for more than 4 hours to ensure no one is left alone for too long. I live in a two bedroom townhouse with a small front yard for quick potty breaks. The neighborhood is great for walks and is very safe. My two dogs are 10 year old chihuahuas and are very relaxed, friendly, and lazy (they love to sleep all day). While caring for your baby, I can provide separation if needed or preferred, or if it’s comfortable for you, everyone can happily co-exist. I also have a small crate available if needed at any time. I work from home and am home with my pets all day. I also have a living room camera to check on the babies whenever we are out of the house. I can use the two-way audio & microphone to talk to them with this. :)

About: Before the days of Rover, I had makeshift a dog-sitting and walking business that I created in Ashland, Oregon while attending Southern Oregon University. The business was successful, but I moved back home to Portland to attend PSU. I have since earned a degree in Psychology and have been working in the mental health field at Providence hospital. In my free time I have been an intermittent pet-sitter for family, friends, and second-degree connections. My services include hiking and day trips in the convertible (roof down if permitted!), helping your pet feel comfortable and content while you're away. I have a kitty along with a long history of taking care of my own pets. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets in a home and have experience caring for up to 4 pets at a time. I am in a transition period while I get ready to attend a Clinical Psychology doctoral program next Fall. My days are open and dedicated to your fur baby. I am attentive and present while your pet is in my care. They become my priority. I have repeat clients who I do overnight stays for. I build trust with my clients through reliable services provided. I follow instructions well and actively communicate with clients as-needed. I build trust with your pets by providing a safe place for them to have companionship or alone time. I take the time to learn how your pet communicates so that they feel cared for.

About: I grew up on a farm and helped take care of a variety of animals. I've seen a lot and know how to handle an emergency if it comes up. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats and birds. I have cared for: small, medium and large dog breeds including ones labeled as "aggressive" (German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, etc). The cats I have cared for have been house and barn cats and most were American Shorthair. Other animals I have cared for: variety of doves, variety of parrots both small and large (both seed and nectar feeding), helped rehab a crow once, mini horses, llamas, sheep, goats, cows, chickens, peacocks, pheasants, iguana, snakes, rabbits, mice, hamsters, fish, eels, and frogs. Property Maintenance: I love gardens and have helped with basic maintenance tasks and harvesting. I can assist with weeding, watering, etc. I can help harvest flowers for arrangement or drying. I can also help with harvesting produce and process it for long term storage if needed. I use to be a home owner, so I can do basic home maintenance such as changing air filters, yard work, collecting mail, answering calls, etc. I have rented and traveled a fair bit too. I can also do daily cleaning, laundry, etc. Specialty Skills: Some of the dogs and cats I cared for had medication requirements that I needed to attend to and be mindful of. I have limited experience with senior animals but I do have some. Twister lived to be very old for a Jack Russel and experienced seizures later in her life. She lived on for many years still and even survived a broken pelvis from being hit by a car. I helped her rehab during that period of time too. I know how to apply flea/tick medication, and administer pill medication to dogs and cats. The birds I raised did have parasites once. I was able to identify the problem and take them to the vet for treatment. Since a lot of animals I have cared for were outside animals, I also know how to tend wounds and dress them. I have an eye for spotting issues and unusual behavior to quickly get the help the animals needs. Booked for May, & June. Headed to coast of OR for early July! Reach out to me before I fill up! I'm an artist and project manager. I work remotely and currently focused on my art business. I am searching for places of inspiration and maybe fall in love with a town I can one day call my home. I know I want to move, but I'm not sure what's next. This is my chance to explore that. For any animal I'm taking care of I need to know their daily schedule and any rules they need to follow. Any behavior issues or sensitivities or fears would be great to know as well. Knowing this will help me keep your pets on routine, calm and happy.

About: I recently restarted providing pet services. Most of my experience is with small and medium dogs, especially seniors who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, provided daily walks, and made sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. While I don’t have direct experience with cats yet, I’m very open to learning and eager to provide them with the same level of care. I’m also new to house sitting, but I’m highly responsible, follow directions carefully, and will always treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. I do have a full time hybrid job, we can discuss a schedule if needed. I do come with a little senior, blind sidekick. He is very mild manner and chill but can not be left alone and therefore, we are a package deal. If this works for you please reach out. Familiarize myself with your home, your pets needs any instructions left and ask questions if I’m not sure, So I can provide the best care.

About: I treat pets like family and bring a calm, intuitive approach to care. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and cats, and pets with health conditions. Outside of pet sitting, I’ve worked as a hospice caregiver and personal assistant, which has made me highly attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I’m committed to keeping routines consistent, reducing stress, and providing reliable communication. Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have a flexible schedule and can prioritize each pet’s needs throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I build my routine around providing consistent, attentive care. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and keeping pets on their normal routines—feeding, walks, play, and rest. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort, especially for senior pets or those with health needs. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, clean, and detail-oriented, and I provide regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
