About: I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. since I was a young teen, and I’ve had multiple furry best friends of my own over the past 15 years! I'm highly qualified to provide the best possible care for your beloved friend, including seniors and pets with special needs. I'm a volunteer dog-walker at the local animal shelter, and I have the ability to exercise high-energy dogs. I'd love to keep your cat or dog healthy & happy (and your home taken care of!) while you're away! My schedule is open and available for pet-sitting or dog-walking any day of the week! 24/7 available care when I overnight sit at your home In your home, I can stay overnight or make 1 house visit per day. I stick to the schedule you provide for feeding and walking so that your pet needs to make as few adjustments as possible to their daily routine.
About: I've been an animal lover since birth. I've had a variety of pets growing up and am open minded and caring towards all animals. I've had dogs, cats, bird, fish, lizards, snakes, and hamsters. I've worked at an animal hospital as well as taken animal science classes in college. I've also volunteered at a zoo. I have a lot of experience under my belt and I'd take care of your pet, your way. I am currently a stay at home parent looking for part time work to fill my day while my kiddos are in school. I am able to care for your pets as needed with my flexible schedule. I have a fenced yard. I also have a dedicated dog run area that is also separately fenced. I have two Australian Shepherds to keep your pup company or I can keep them all separate. I also have the space to crate train if needed.
About: People have asked me to care for their pets since I was just young. Mostly because I care and connect so easily with animals. But also because I live such a free lifestyle and available to do so. My goal is to be flexible and accommodate your pets every day schedule to alleviate anxiety and stress while you are gone, for them and for you! I should start taking more selfie's with the animals I care for ;-). My photo gallery shows some of the pets I have babysat over the years. I am happy to take on pets with special needs (i.e. medications, disabilities, meal accommodations, etc.). This winter I am able to be flexible and cater to the needs of what your pets schedule looks like. In my experience, it is much better to accommodate the schedule they currently have instead of trying to fit mine. My residence is currently not pet friendly, but I am happy to care for them at yours! In my experience, pets tend to do better in the environment they are familiar with. It keeps them at ease and relaxed while you are away.
About: I have done pet sitting for over 5 years which include boarding, housesitting and dog walking. I have also cared for cats, chickens, exotic birds and baby goats (bottle fed). I have cared for elderly pets, seizure pets and have no problem with giving medications. ****If you are requesting housesitting, I do have a small easy-going chill dog that likes to come with me if you are ok with that. He gets along with all dogs and cats alike. I do request that we have a meet and greet prior so as to ensure you are comfortable with me in your home and with your pets. I work remotely during the day. So I would be with your pet(s) for the majority of the day. They would only be left alone a few hours on occasion for errands/appointments and such. So they would get plenty of potty breaks, love and attention while you are away. I will care for you pet(s) per your instructions. While at my house they will be allowed on furniture and my bed for extra cuddle time. They will be given plenty of walks and playtime!

With 8 years of personal ownership and hands-on experience, I understand the importance of finding a reliable and caring pet sitter. Rest assured, I am here to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your furry or scaly family members. I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever, two indoor cats, and a crested gecko!

I will make sure your cats feel comfortable and entertained while you're away. Litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and providing a stress free environment are among my priorities. Reptile Experience: Alongside my love for dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for reptiles. Whether it's monitoring temperature and humidity levels, maintaining clean enclosures, or following specific dietary requirements, I am familiar with the care and attention that reptiles require. I work part time as a barista so my schedule can be a bit random at times! I usually work three days a week, although I'm never away for more than 6 hours at time. On my days off I have full availability and can give as much time as I have to your pets! Sadly I am not able to offer boarding, my house just isn't set up for it at the moment, maybe some day!

From monitoring temperatures and humidity, to providing a proper diet, your reptiles will be in capable hands.

About: Hi! Thanks for considering me to care for your pets. I’ve been pet sitting around the Rogue Valley for a little over seven years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and routines, from easygoing pets who mostly want company to animals who need medications, frequent potty breaks, walks, or a little more patience. I’m very laid-back, but I take the responsibility seriously. I follow the routine you leave for me, keep you updated with pictures, and try to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone. I also treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I’m always glad to meet new pets and their people. 🐾 My schedule is currently pretty flexible, especially for daytime drop-ins, dog walks, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I’m opening my profile back up to new clients, so feel free to reach out with your dates and your pet’s routine. I’m usually able to work something out. I know every pet reacts differently when their family is away, so I bring a calm, patient energy and let them settle in at their own pace. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to meals, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how everything is going while you’re away.

Also open to holidays with enough notice I have a fenced backyard and live in a calm neighborhood with minimal traffic but plenty of walking trails to keep your pet active, have 2 children in the home who love animals too!
About: I have worked with dogs for over ten years professionally, and with cats my whole life both personally and professionally. I was a trainer as well, and I've taken classes in zoology and canid biology and care. I can also do medications as that was part of my job working with dogs before. I am very conscious of pet care, I have two dogs, three cats, a snake, and four parakeets. So I am constantly already taking care of pet needs, I'm just trying to expand my reach. Animals are my passion, and I take care of them regardless of anything else. I would be respectful of the clients rules and their care for pets, I've done in home sitting before. I've also had multiple years experience working with different clients and never had a bad review.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and a pig. I love all animals. Pigs are my favorite. Hopefully my boyfriend and I are getting a puppy soon. As a full time dog walker/pet sitter I have availability most days. Just give me a heads up and I’ll be playing with your pups in no time :) Unfortunately I can’t board at my apartment. I can however stay overnight at your residence or do frequent check ins depending on your preference.
About: I’ve been around big dogs since childhood and have grown a strong bond with my own, friends’ and family pets. I’m capable of handling large dogs, tripod, blind, deaf and young pups. I’m aware of dog’s natural behaviors and the behaviors that need me to be cautious and act accordingly. Training on the job towards certified veterinary technician. I’m attending college which allows me a good portion of time to dedicate to walking dogs. This is something I enjoy doing and I’m looking forward to playing, walking and caring for your dog. I give my dog undivided attention dedicated to play time or training. Snuggle time is common. Discipline for bad behavior needs to be calm and respectful.
“Andrea was really friendly. Really appreciated her accepting a last minute request to come walk the dog on a Sunday afternoon. She did evertyhing just as I had asked. Looking forward to using her services again.”
