Cat Sitting Interlachen

“Anna was amazing. Just from the photos she regularly sent us (we can never have too many photos!) our cats looked very happy and absolutely comfortable with her. She gave us great updates after each visit. We will absolutely ask her to watch our cats again!!”

About: I can be excited and outgoing, or calm and quiet, depending on your dog’s personality. I’m able to gain their trust quickly, and that’s something I’m extremely proud of. Dogs deserve all the love, support, attention, care (and treatos!) we can give them—and that’s exactly what your dog would receive in my care. I truly care about how a dog is feeling, not just checking the boxes of the basics. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels heard, understood, safe, and cared for to the best of my abilities. ************************************************** Please note: If you are booking me for house-sitting, my own doggo always comes with me! I am able to do drop-in visits and have her stay home, if needed, but not for house-sitting requests. ************************************************** I have a 4 year old mini golden retriever that gets along great with other dogs and she loves little kids too. I’m in a small apartment and don’t have a yard, so it might be best if I travel to you so your dog feels safe and comfortable in their environment.

“Get some coffee!!! So sorry about my dog 😭”

“Ellen was PHENOMENAL! OMG. Could not have gotten luckier with her and will absolutely request her support again. She did a great job and helped us feel so confident and at ease with our aging cat being supported while we vacationed in Central Europe for a few weeks. Can't say enough great things about her as a house/pet sitter!”

“Sydney was so amazing with our cats! She made sure that they were well taken care of and got lots of love. We can't thank her enough for how well she took care of our cats!”

About: I currently work full time at a dog boarding facility where I feed, walk, and administer medications to 20+ dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all breeds, knowledgeable about body language and able to administer medications. Working full time at dog boarding facility but can take care of your pets too on my days off. Other days of the week I am only available between 1p-2p and anytime after 7p Always assuring the home is locked before leaving and making sure pets are fully attended to whether that’s litter boxes, grooming, feeding, walking or medicine.

About: I may be new to Rover, but I'm not new to working with dogs. My life revolves around dogs and has for many, many years. I run my own pet services business, Hounds of Love PDX, and bring a lifetime of experience in all areas including rescue, handling, walking, daycare, sitting, fostering, transporting and volunteering with local rescue organizations, as well as for Oregon Dog Rescue and Dove Lewis. I'm a sighthound, small dog and senior advocate, and work with dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had an affinity for sighthounds(Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, etc), and understand their unique and sensitive nature well. I always put dogs first in every aspect of life, and feel they’re all part of my extended pack, and treat every dog as such. Safety is absolutely the top priority for me when working with pets. I’m always watching, listening and paying attention to their body language. I have a thorough understanding of dog behavior and know that each dog has a unique personality and needs, and that not all dogs are extroverts. In fact, many are quite the opposite. I’m naturally hyper-vigilant, yet focus on remaining kind, calm and confident when working with dogs, especially when out in the world. I’ve completed a variety of trainings with dogs over my lifetime, from canine good citizen, to flyball, to advanced therapy dog training. I’m Pet CPR + First Aid certified, as well as bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I always carry a well-stocked pet first aid kit in my vehicle, as well as water, bowls, treats, blankets and travel crates so as to always be as prepared. I’m professional, reliable, punctual, responsible, trustworthy and pride myself on practicing clear and transparent communication. I'm located in the East/SE Portland area, also near Happy Valley and Gresham, and I service most all surrounding areas. In addition to working with dogs, I'm also a part-time jewelry artist and I work out of my home studio. I make my own schedule and usually, always available. I can schedule around most everything. At my home, I have three small rescue dogs that are a bonded pack. We utilize pet gates in our one level, ranch style home, and dog run fencing in our large, fenced backyard. Open to small to small/medium dogs for boarding and daycare.

“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”

Sherry M.

“Ronda is awesome and loves what she does. She came to our home the day before so we could get to know her and show her the ropes. She answered my questions about Rover and gave us detailed updates on each cat/kitten for each drop in , including pics (they really like her). She put our minds at ease knowing they were getting the same love and care that we give them. Thank you, Ronda. We'll see you again for future tips. ?”

Laurie C.

“Sarah B. took such good care of my cat while I was away visiting family. She send daily updates on his behavior and how he was warming up to her pets. She has great personality and knowledge of how animals behave. My cat had a wonderful time. She send me home with a thoughtful little goody bag that reflected Jack’s personality.”

About: Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m an experienced animal-care professional with several years of hands-on experience working in pet hotels and pet food stores, along with a lifetime of caring for animals of my own. During my time working as a pet hotel lead, I cared for animals with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. That experience taught me that good pet care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some animals warm up immediately, while others need patience, consistency, and a little extra time to feel comfortable. I’m experienced with following detailed feeding and care routines, administering medications, accommodating food aversions and sensitive stomachs, responding to food strikes, and adapting when unexpected situations come up. I’m comfortable working under pressure and, most importantly, I pay attention. Changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, energy, or routine can be important, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously. After spending some time working as an office manager at a wellness clinic, I realized how much I missed working with animals. Caring for them has always been something that comes naturally to me, and returning to animal care feels like getting back to work I genuinely enjoy and find meaningful. At home, I have two cats of my own, Frank and Mabel, so I also understand pet care from an owner’s perspective. Trusting someone new with an animal you love can be stressful. When a pet is in my care, I treat them with the same patience, attention, and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m happy to learn the little things that make your pet your pet—their routines, favorite spots, quirks, boundaries, and the things that help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going back home. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’m excited to make professional pet care part of it again. My goal is simple: provide dependable, attentive care for your pet and give you the confidence of knowing they’re in capable hands. I am currently doing pet care and house cleaning full time, which allows my schedule to be extremely flexible. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, with availability throughout most of the day. I am happy to work around you and your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is keeping their environment as familiar and consistent as possible. I will respect your home, follow any household instructions you leave for me, and make sure doors, windows, gates, and other potential escape points are secure when coming and going. I’m also mindful that every home and pet comes with its own set of rules. Whether that means keeping certain doors closed, separating pets during meals, using a specific entrance, checking the yard before letting a dog outside, or making sure a determined cat doesn’t make a break for it when the front door opens, I’m happy to learn how things work in your home and stick to them. I want you to come home to your pets safe, happy, and comfortable, and your home better than you left it.

“This woman went above and beyond to help me out with a last minute cancel she came to my house and stayed for quite a long time with my cat sent pictures and video and took into consideration his needs and was so kind and communicative the whole time I’m so thrilled with her I will definitely book her again and appreciate your flexibility and understanding throughout our interactions.”

About: I recently moved here from Birmingham, Alabama and pet sat for a decade and I want to continue to connect with new families and their little floofs here in the pnw! I have worked with all ages of cats and dogs. I’ve also taken care of fish, hamsters and even bees on occasions. In the past I have had the same eight families I have looked after and met other pet families through them over time too. I have a fully free schedule since I just moved here and searching for a part time job. In the past I have been in school, worked at restaurants, and consistently pet sat as a combined full time because looking after little ones is a part of my daily routine that I cherish and wish to continue. So I am excited and able to be with your little ones as much as needed. I want the pet(s) to be relaxed and comfortable in their own homes when looking after them in order to not disrupt their regular routine too much. I prefer to meet the family and little one(s) before caring for the animal(s) before overnight sitting or for just drops ins. This way I can be well aquatinted with everyone and bring sense of calm into everyone’s daily routines from the start. This way, I can also learn in person their exact routines, any medication’s if applicable, any quirky things the pets might request in their routines, ie I once had an elderly dog thatI looked after that wanted his dinner “ heated up” in the microwave. So I would make “beeping’ nosies and pretend that his food was fancy like a humans. The family and I found it as a cute and an easy way to make him feel happy and eager to eat. The quirky the better is what I have always looked forward to when bonding with the little ones. For a meet and greet, if the family and animal(s) are ok with more of a “come on in” policy where there’s not a meet and greet first, particularly for drop ins, I’m more than happy to use with this method as well. For dogs in particular, I want to make sure that I keep up with their exercise routines with any amount of walks requested. If the family and floof(s) are more adventurous, I would happily like to take them on hikes, if it is wished to be incorporated into their routines.

“Justin took excellent care of my cat daughter while I was away. I could see from the update pics he sent that he was respectful of her space and that she was at ease around him. She was relaxed and in great spirits when I returned. I would absolutely rebook with Justin. He’s rocks!”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I have experience wearing for puppies, seniors, dogs of all sizes, cats, and bunnies. I am reliable, communicative, and a warm and patient companion for your loved one. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority and I always respect their boundaries as living beings. I can’t wait to meet them! I work free-lance and set my own schedule, so I am able to be flexible with my pet care scheduling. I do require 3 day notice for overnight stays. Beyond basic safety and care, I will follow whatever routine is normal for you and your pet. I will request details about your pets disposition and individual needs to best care for them. I understand the worries that can come with entrusting the care of your pet to another person, and will be consistently available for check ins, and sending photos and/or videos so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
