Pet Sitting Keizer

“Kayla did a great job checking in with my dog Phoebe while we were away for a few days. Throughout the weekend, she was communicative and reliable, sending photo updates with each check-in. Phoebe can be a little anxious when I’m gone, and unfortunately had a few accidents on the carpet, but Kayla handled everything without hesitation. She not only cleaned up thoroughly, but also kept me updated. I’d absolutely trust Kayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Jamie took great care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us updated daily and, when our indoor/outdoor cat didn't show up for feeding time, she made sure there was food accessible outside. Our cats really seemed to enjoy spending time with her.”

About: We are a duo who help others with their pets! My name is Desiree, and my partner’s name is Tyler. We are adventurous! Often, we fill our free time with hikes, walks around cities, and exploring parks. We would love to take your dogs on these walks too!  I grew up around animals—anything from rabbits, mice, cats, and dogs to some exotics like raccoons. As a kid, I would rehabilitate animals like deer or wild rabbits. I feel we need to look out for our little friends, as the world is hard for everyone. Being kind is important to me. I have experience with basic dog training, teaching good leash behavior, and giving extra care to older dogs! I'm comfortable with giving medicine, or going the extra mile to help upkeep their health, may it be brushing teeth, giving baths, or grooming. Our goal is to provide the best, and perfect routine for your pets while you're away that would match closely to what you would do in your daily life to assure max comfort for your animals. We currently go to school online, so we are very flexible with our time and since two of us are on duty, we can always give attention! We mainly care for them in your home, and this is very flexible to how you would want them cared for. We love to follow exact instructions, or approximate instructions. Whichever you want to provide. We want your trip away from home to be stress free, and confident your pet is getting treated with the utmost care and love.

“Melody took excellent care of my dogs. She gave them lots of love and walks and made sure my older dog got her daily medicine. She even took out my trash cans which I really appreciate. I highly recommend her and will absolutely hire her again!”

I work Sunday- Wednesday morning shift, I can alway change a day to have weekend off or I can board after work Wednesday thru sunday I’ll treat the pet the same way if there were mine too. I’ll treat them all the same how I treat my dog that how I’ll treat yours too

About: I’ve had two dogs that I raised from their puppy to senior years so I have experience with dogs in any age. I have experience giving medication and know some doggies love having a routine that I can help maintain to keep them happy and comfortable! I’m currently job hunting so I have plenty of time to watch and help care for your doggies while also giving them daily walks! I have a big fenced yard for them to run around in have had dogs sunbathe on a sunny day. I enjoy going on walks and there’s lots of bushes and good sniffing spots along the way. I will provide a bed and treats and make sure they always have clean fresh water.

About: Hi all! A bit about me, I've been around/owned pets my entire life, can't imagine a life without them. Currently am fostering 2 kittens and have a cat of my own! Look forward to meeting your pets! I work full time so weekends are when I am free and able to drop by and check in or rake your dogs on walks. I'm not open to caring for pets at my home currently as I have a cat, but i can do home drop ins and walks

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors and family friends. I was a recurrent dog sitter for a year and I would take dogs on walks, follow their food schedule, and also take some time throughout the day to continue simple parts of their training. I’m currently available part time, mainly on the weekends and Wednesdays where i’m available from early morning to late afternoon. Im currently only able to do drop ins and walking for your puppies or cats. For my clients home, i’ll be there to take care of your pets and only do as you instructed. I’ll play with your pets and if preferred, I can take your pet on a walk around your neighborhood.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8 but began house sitting when I turned 16. I have experienced taking care of dogs, cats , horses and even chickens. while looking after your fur babies they will be given excellent care as if they were my own. A love to photograph animals so with my care come a free mini photoshoot. With your permission of course! My 4 year old black lab absolutely loves to play with others. So if your pup needs a buddy to burn off some energy she’s your pup . I work 3 pm to 11:30pm but I’m free the rest of the time to do pop in or walks. If I’m staying at your house I bring in my own food and drink. And stay with your fur baby the whole time. If I’m in home sitting I do a minimum of 3 30 min walks a day. 1 before work ,after work and before bed. And depending on your fur babies energy I’ll add in extra play time if needed. I’m stuck to strictly feeding schedules so whatever time you have them eat I’ll make sure to do they same. To help keep them in their normal routine. If I’m doing a drop in I can go walks /runs for about an hour unless you need me to take them for more time.

“Kassandra is absolutely the best!”

“Tina was a blessing!! I feel so bad leaving my cats for long trips but she eased my anxiety so much by giving thoughtful and thorough updates and lots of cute pics. She spent additional time sitting and playing with them which means so much because I know they get lonely. They’re also having problems with some outside the litter box pooping that hasn’t been easily resolved and she graciously cleaned up the messes and even left my apartment a little cleaner than she found it. Excellent service and communication!:)”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. I’m new to the area and having an anxious dog going through some major changes has been challenging. The first night Mickenzie came over to let him out, Beanie wouldn’t let her touch him and growled the whole time. He wouldn’t even eat a treat that she left in front of him on the couch! Mickenzie was gentle, patient, and communicative through the entire process. The following day she agreed to come out on her own time to meet beanie with me and let him get more acquainted in a safe space with mom. She was kind and understanding even as he barked and growled at her throughout the visit. That night she came back to try again. She took her time, was able to connect, Beanie let her pet him, pick him up, and put a harness on. She was able to let him out to the bathroom and get him back in without any issue other than the time and patience it took from her. Mickenzie is excellent. I HIGHLY recommend her especially for those who are anxious leaving their babies in the care of someone they don’t know. I’m so grateful and will continue to use her as often as possible. Thank you, Mickenzie!”

About: I’ve spent over 10 years caring for pets in their own homes for friends, family, and neighbors. As a pet owner myself—a Great Dane and a cat—I treat every animal like my own. I have plenty of flexibility and a lot of open availability in my schedule at the moment. I can make most any dates/times work. I’m available weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I offer gentle companionship, plenty of affection, and a calm presence, while also treating your home with care and respect so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I enjoy spending time with animals. I'm really passionate about it and will care for any animal as if it were my own child. I'm an extroverted person who enjoys being helpful and kind to animals thus, I'm genuinely happiest when I get to take care of a pet. I can take care of your pet at any time of day because my other employment allows me to have a flexible schedule. All I ask is a 24-hour heads-up. I take care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, walking them, and providing for their needs. If necessary, I can even give them a bath. I also offer all animals my time, attention, and compassion.

“Ana accepted our request last minute and did a great job with our cats. She went above and beyond and even did an extra checkin with them and watered my plants. She even cleaned up after their mess which we didn’t require at all. I would definitely book Ana again for future visits!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting with cats as a kid and later helping with my mother-in-law’s Jack Russell terrier and Siberian husky, as well as my own 100 lb English Lab. During my five years as a rural letter carrier, I earned the nickname "the dog whisperer" for my ability to befriend even wary farm dogs on my routes. Since then, I’ve looked after a mix of local pets, including a reactive Lab-Shepherd and a few energetic pit bull mixes. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and pets trust me quickly. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible schedule while I pursue my Master's in Behavioral Health. I value structure and routine, which makes it easy for me to keep pets on their normal schedule. Spending time with animals is grounding and rewarding. It balances the intensity of my studies and keeps my days centered on care, calm, and connection. I provide attentive and responsible care for pets, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and overall well-being. In my care, I ensure that feeding schedules are followed, environments are clean and secure, and that pets have appropriate stimulation through play or companionship. I maintain open communication with pet owners, report any health or behavioral concerns promptly, and adapt my care routines to each pet’s unique needs and temperament. My experience in customer service, time management, and careful attention to detail ensures a reliable and trustworthy environment for all animals under my supervision.

About: I've been an animal lover as long as I can remember. When I was 9 years old, my Dad got me my first Golden Retriever for Valentine's Day 1998. Her name was Star. I wanted a Golden because I fell in love with Shadow from "Homeward Bound". Star was my best friend, and we trained together in Canine Good Citizenry and agility. She could jump through hula hoops, over my arm, and she knew all sorts of tricks. I also love horses and used to spend summers and spring breaks on my cousin's farm in Apopka, Florida where she was the Barn Manager for a gal who rode in the Irish Olympics for the Equestrian Team. I had my own horse when I was younger, but we sadly had to sell her when my mother passed away when I was 9 years old. I've had dogs and cats off and on my entire life, but sadly, I just recently moved to Oregon and do not have any pets of my own right now for a few reasons: The first is that I'm working diligently to get established in Oregon and currently have a Mon-Thursday schedule with the City of Salem that requires me to be away from home for over 10 hours a day. Second, my roommate has a sick and aging cat who is not doing well, and we do not want to stress him out by adding pets to the house right now. Hopefully, my roommate will be able to reconsider when things change, but for now, Bok Choy (and his comfort) is our main priority at my house. Third, I'm hoping to move my Dad out to Oregon within the next 3 years, but for now, he is living alone as a retiree in Georgia, where I grew up. He is very attached to our dog Hank, and even though I'm definitely Hank's favorite person, I couldn't stand the thought of separating those two because I felt like my Dad needs Hank more than I do as Hank is his reason to get up in the morning! I miss Hank more than words can express, but I think we made the right call because Hank does not like being alone, and Dad can accommodate this as he is retired whereas I am in the main career years. I have previous dog sitting experience, but sadly, my identity was hacked, and I lost all of my photos on my Facebook account and lost many of my contacts through my old email address that I lost access to. I have also done amateur dog training and hope to get a professional certification in dog training within the next 12 months. I am happy to house sit during my work week if you only have cats that need tending after office hours. I won't be accepting house sitting for dogs unless there is an understanding of my work schedule and the dog has access to a doggy door and a yard or puppy pads are used during the day. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who can be with your dog during the business day instead of requesting me if you have dogs and need assistance during my work week (Mon-Thurs). This is a Side Hustle for me, but it also the more meaningful of my jobs because I love animals more than anything else in this world, and being around them is good for my mental health. I currently work Monday-Thursday until 4:30PM so it will be difficult for me to provide overnight dog sitting until Thursday after 5 PM unless your dog has access to a doggy door or puppy pads. I would highly recommend finding a sitter who does this full time if you need assistance during business hours Monday-Thursday. When I am at your house, your pet is my priority. If they need exercise or stimulation, we will make that happen. I will almost feel guilty for getting paid for it because it will literally be my pleasure. I will ask you to leave detailed instructions that will make my life easier and expect you to extend trust to me to do my job well. I understand it is difficult and that trust is earned and not freely given, but we need to have a clear discussion before you leave about what your expectations are so I can decide If I can meet those in a way that will not cause me undue anxiety. If you need someone after 5PM Mon-Thursday or anytime on the weekends, I am your sitter!

“Rose is so great!! She was so wonderful and very kind to my cat Fig. <3”

“Emese has checked in on our cat twice now and has done a great job both times with taking great care of our pet, keeping our space neat, and with communication! She will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward.”

About: I have been walking dogs weekly through Rover for 1 year. I’ve cared for my own pets since I was a kid, I have 2 dogs and 8 cats currently. I also occasionally pet sit for my parents when they’re out of town. I’m a stay at home mom so I have a very open schedule to come care for your pet! I like to stay very active so walking and home visits are perfect for me. My kids will join me on my walks and visits, they are respectful and love animals as well! The safety of your fur baby is most important! As a fur mama and human mama myself, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of!
