House Sitting Haden Island

“Venessa was nothing short of amazing. We last minute needed someone to stay with our dogs for a day while we were at work and she answered the call! I was sent pictures of my 3 fur babies all day with constant updates and communication. I will without a doubt be calling on Venessa again when we need someone to stay with the dogs.”

“Erich and Sarah were absolutely wonderful. They gave daily updates and reached out with any questions not covered in my notes. They took great care of our boys and our home.”

“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!!”

“James was amazing! He took such great care of my pups! They seemed totally comfortable and at ease with him. I even got a photo of my anxious one so relaxed!!”

“Forest did an amazing job watching my dog, Bo, while I was out of town. They kept me up to date on all the happenings around the house and sent daily feedback about Bo. Including pictures and videos! Forest took wonderful care of Bo and asked all the right questions before I headed out of town. I knew they were going to be a perfect sitter and they didn’t disappoint! From quality care, waiting until the heat of the day was past to walk, sending updates and leaving a spotless house… forest was spectacular! If you have the chance to book with forest, I would highly recommend! They took the time to ask about Bo’s needs and my expectations. I knew I was getting quality care with forest. I was welcomed back by one happy healthy pup thanks to forest :)”

“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.”

Karen P.

“Lena did a fantastic job watching our Shepherd, Frenchie, and cat. From the moment we left, her communication was outstanding. She sent wonderful photos and videos throughout our trip, which always made us smile and gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She also took excellent care of our home, including bringing in packages and keeping an eye on everything while we were away. Most importantly, our animals absolutely adored her. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly received lots of love and attention during her stay. We would not hesitate to book Lena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”

Jennifer H.

“Jamie was a great communicator and had a calm energy around my cat that’s been dealing with some stress. I came back to a clean home and very happy kitty! Communication and photos throughout her stay were also consistent. Thank you Jamie!”

About: I already have a lot of experience with animal care, and now that I'm a professional housesitter, my experience with all kinds of dogs and cats is surging. I grew up with dogs, a long-term pet bird (a cockatiel), and I raised rabbits in rabbit 4H as a child. As an adult, I'd cared for several different cats, dogs, and a rabbit for friends and roommates, even before starting housesitting. I've given pills to dogs and cats, and administered insulin to an elderly cat. Since moving to Oregon in July 2026, my schedule has filled up so fast with several amazing house and pet sits. I'm taking care small dogs, large dogs, calm dogs, and high-energy dogs. I adapt walking strategy to dog's reactivity, according to the owner's guidance and everything else I observe in real time. And if you count your beloved plants as part of the family, I understand. I've got experience caring for those, too! I can take care of your chickens and keep your garden going, no problem. I've loved dog sitting so deeply, that I've decided to work on becoming a professional dog trainer. I want to work with these guys all day long. For now, I'm dog sitting and dog walking. I'm learning about all sorts of breeds and doggie personalities, through real immersion with them. So, I'm looking forward to tending to your specific pet, to learn what makes them tick and to carry that awareness forward into the rest of my career! I'm a full-time professional housesitter! That means that I am very flexible to accommodate your pet's usual routine. I work in data annotation, and it's all on my laptop. My work schedule is incredibly flexible. This means I can set up anywhere with wifi, and we'll be good to go! I'm available to do dog walking during the day, as well, when I'm nearby. My dog walking schedules and availabilities will just shift as I stay in different houses, taking care of different pets. Curious about what I do when there are gaps in my house sit schedules? I live near family in Portland, so I won't ever get stranded. However, I actually intentionally leave gaps in my schedule, because personal travel is very important to me. It's actually surprisingly sustainable to book out sits and trips far enough into the future to know exactly what the plan is. If I'm not housesitting, I'm probably going on a much coveted camping trip, or doing some exploring on my own terms in a new town. I'm an explorer at heart, so I actually build flexibility and open time into my housesitting schedule. Before moving here to Oregon, I'd lived in Boston for five years. While I loved that city, I was consistently in 12-month apartment leases, and I started to need more flexibility and options. So, I'm enjoying this new chapter and drinking in as much as I can of Oregon and the surrounding states. I have pretty extensive gardening knowledge, having taken a large chunk of the WSU home horticulture and master gardener's training program. I've grown a lot of different vegetables and berries, and I can care for flowers and ornamentals, too! I love plants and would very much enjoy spending time in your garden, monitoring plant health and giving good morning waterings, etc.

“This was a huge step for me to trust someone with not only my guys but my home. Jenn understood my concerns and made a special trip down for a meet and greet. She sent multiple updates during the day and her pictures showed how relaxed Brady was with her. She left the house spotless, and I had a very happy dog when I got home. I definitely recommend her, and I look forward to her sitting again when needed.”

“Maia was amazing with Theo! We had her stay at our house for a few nights watching my boy. She was very tidy, kind, and did an amazing job. She is also a great and fast communicator. I would highly recommend her! ♥️”

About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.

About: I love dogs, am very active, and have been dog sitting for about 11 years now. I work from home so have a flexible schedule to give your dog lots of pets, and to take them on long walks throughout the day! I enjoy the outdoors and can do lots of walks / runs/ hikes for more high energy dogs. For lower energy or older dogs I am happy to stay home with them as well. I work full time remote, so will be home with your dog all day to give them lots of pets! I have 2 hours of scheduled breaks throughout the day as well so can take them on nice long walks if needed :) For house sitting mon-fri: I would need to work remotely from your home on my computer if I am staying at your house with the dogs, and for my job need reliable wifi (20mbps or more). I also do need to request the alternate location from my work in advance. I am always very cautious to follow all owner instructions, and care a lot about dog safety. Please let me know about your dog's diet, friendliness, activity levels, and anything else that would be good to know. I have 2 housemates who also love dogs!

“Ashley was outstanding, a wonderful pet sitter. Ashley spent quaility time with our little girl, Abigail, lots of walks, pictures sent and took great care of our home. We would definitely book with Ashley again to watch Abigail.”

About: I've taken care of dogs all my life since childhood. I have provided them with love and care medical care and one on one time during walks, traveling to different dog parks, and beach trips! Dogs provide me with emotional support and assists me with outside activities to keep me going. Every few hours I am caring for dogs and they're helping me. We are a team. I want to extend my love and care to your pet while you are away. Being their friend while they're being my friend. I'm currently a remote worker from home. So they will have access to me at my home 24/7. Our daily current schedule is as follows. 5am wake up 530 potty time 9am breakfast and walk 2pm long walk 5-6pm Dinner 8pm+ Quiet time with our blankets and dog TV time I have a secured apartment and we always make sure the dogs are leashes first before opening the door to go outside. I am conveniently located next door to a local bike path where we walk and run.

“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”

About: Had dogs my whole life. Mines a coward and we'd need to check that he gets along with yours first, he'll get bullied if I'm not careful, the poor thing I stay home all day and spend as much of my time as possible outside. Your dog may come back muddy though, the messier you get the more fun you had and all! I am home all day with eyes/ears on the pets nearly constantly. I also spend so much time in environments that encourage explorative play and will keep most dogs too busy to get bored and act out in the first place. If a pet did act out, there's more than enough space in my place to separate animals and allow them to decompress. If at your place, mine is kennel trained for the same idea.

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.

“Susan stayed about a week with our pups on this trip! It made our vacation so easy knowing they were in such great hands! Our pups (and us) are so lucky to have Susan (and sometimes Ian) hang out with them!”

“Lily did an AMAZING job taking care of our two huskies and one golden retriever. One of our huskies is older and required medication and a doggie diaper and Lily did an amazing job taking care of them. We came home to our house cleaner than when we left. We got great updates and pictures and she was very responsive whenever we checked in. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be having her watch our dogs again!”
