House Sitting Knapp Landing

“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.”

“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!!”

“This was our second time having Renata sit for us and she is still the best! Our pets are so well taken care of and the house is always so clean!”

“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!”

“James did a great job pet and house sitting for us while we were away for the holidays. He communicated clearly and responded quickly. Our dogs were taken care of and happy! Our house was also very tidy and clean when we returned. James is responsible and it helped us feel at ease while we were away. Thanks again, James!”

About: I have taken care of all ages and sizes of dog, from lab puppies to senior chihuahuas. I have lived with dogs my whole life, and have been pet sitting since high school. I am skilled with spicy dogs and administering medicine since my last dog was a chihuahua with PTSD. I currently work part time in the middle of the day, so I have plenty of time to play and care for pets. I also have a car so I can transport myself to and from each clients residence. I love to keep the pets company when owners are gone for a period of time, taking them on walks, playing, and of course feeding them.

About: Hi, I’m Alyssa! I’ve been house sitting and caring for pets for years, and there’s nothing I love more than making sure animals feel safe, happy, and loved while their families are away. As a veterinary assistant, I bring both professional knowledge and hands on experience to every pet I care for. I’ve worked with animals of all kinds, whether your pet has four legs, feathers, scales, or tiny paws, I’m comfortable providing attentive, compassionate care that’s tailored to their individual needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make your time away as stress free as possible for both you and your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, caring for farm animals, or simply giving plenty of love and attention, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I do work full time, however I am willing to dedicate all of my time outside of work to your pets while you are away! I will follow whatever saftey measures you follow with your babies. I can safely navigate a flight risk pup or kitty. I am also comfortable with mild aggressive/snappy animals. I just want you to feel as little stress as possible while your babies are under my care!

“5,000 stars- I swear my dog has more fun with these two than he does with me! They take EXCELLENT care of my pup and my house is always cleaner than I left it. Have used Erich & Sarah multiple times and can’t recommend enough.”

About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.

“Jamie is absolutely the best!!! I would have her sit for our cats and our house again in a heartbeat. She is reliable, communicative, caring, leaves the house spotless, and I can tell that our cats were so much more comfortable upon our getting home from a trip having had her there.”

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.

“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.”

“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.”

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!

“When we get home from a trip, we can hardly tell Malissa was even here. House looks just as it was left and animals all well taken care of. You can tell how much she loves them.”

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.

About: I’ve seen all kinds of shenanigans while caring for pets and give special attention as needed, including administering meds through syringe, pills cleverly placed in cheese or food, companionship and present time, play time, feeding pet pigs in a manner that avoids food battles and many more! I’m up for it all and have the freedom to watch your lil loves while you are away so let me know if you have any questions. Happy to answer them for you. I’m available for housesitting on weekends and during the week (with enough heads up!) so give me the dates you plan to skip outta town for and I’ll let you know if I’m available to meet, greet and watch your little furbabies / reptiles / pets of all sorts. I take the occasional camping trip and flight to see my long distance boyfriend, otherwise, let’s coordinate the details! I’m happy to follow any house rules you set for when I come to house it and pet sit for you and your loved pets.

About: Dogs are life. I've raised and trained several puppies, healed sick dogs with herbs and cared generally for dogs my entire life. I actually became an herbalist because I started healing dogs first. I live and work at home so I currently have all the time in the world to pamper, hike with and love up your pups. I have a fenced yard in the back and a whole 5 acres of roaming land and a doggo to keep your company and show em the lay of the land.

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.

“Knowing we can trust her with our babies means the world to us! She’s incredibly communicative, which we really appreciate. We will be booking her again and again and again if she will have us.”
