“We entrusted our two kittys with Abby while we were gone for 10 days. During that period, Abby kept us informed of her daily drop-in visits, including photos of our elusive critters. Upon our return, we found them in great condition, and they were not mad at us for leaving them with a then "stranger." Will definitely ask Abby to care for Larry & Bella the next time the need arises.”
About: I am well-known for my longtime experience with pet body-language and behavior. I am attentive to their individual needs and delightful quirks. Animals need compassion and time alongside their basic needs. Your loved ones are safe in my care. I have volunteered at the Reedsport K9 shelter for over a decade. In that time, the City of Reedsport and the Reedsport Police Department have entrusted me with handling dogs and cats in need of being safely captured, transported, and cared for. I have also spent years working for the Humane Society where I cared for and bonded with the 20+ species that called the shelter their temporary homes. My most proud achievement is saving 110 dogs directly from euthanasia in other shelters and transporting them to Reedsport. Every one has found a loving forever home and got a well-deserved second chance at life. I have a part-time job and am available most of the time. I don't have much of a routine and can make odd times work without hassle. I have a 3-4ft fully-fenced yard. It is small, about 30'x20'. I have a dog door for indoor/outdoor access, and a fully dog-safe home (and dog-safe plants in my yard). I can only have low-energy or small dogs at home because the fence won't hold in a larger or more active dog.
“Jackie's care of my sweet Phoebe was excellent. She consistently communicated with us, and was totally transparent in sharing info about Phoebe's status and mood each day, even when our mature kitty was not as happy with our absence for a day or two. This means the world to us. I am so glad to have found someone so trustworthy and kind to care for her when we're away, and will definitely hope to hire Jackie again the next time we travel.”
“Carli is a wonderful choice to pet sit your pet! She made traveling and being away from our kitty so smooth! She proved daily updates and pictures which made us feel so much better about being away from our kitty. She was accommodating and so sweet. You can tell she is wonderful with animals and such a kind spirit!!! We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!”
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for over 5 years. I really enjoyed it. I would love to take care of your pets. I have had several pets throughout my life. Watched my sisters' dogs multiple times. And I currently have a cat. 2 years old. I've had her since she was 3 months old. Taking care of, and helping, animals brings me great joy. It always has. I am responsible, reliable, honest, and trustworthy. I am also caring, kind, and generous. I am willing to walk, bathe, brush, and play with your animal. Feeding, watering, and petting, as needed. I have a valid driver's license, and transportation. Please, let me help you, and your pet. In any way that I can. Thank you. Sincerely, Katy A. I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with/take care of your furry family member. Also, I don't work weekends. I will arrive on time, where and when you ask me to. I will keep your furry busy/occupied. Follow your instructions, care needs, and requests.
“We are so fortunate to have had Danae's help with our dog Fennyck. Fenny is a bit shy but he took right to her. She took great care of Fenny and stayed in touch with us (sending lots of photos and updates) during our trip. Not only is she great with animals she will also take care of your space and is very considerate. Would highly recommend Danae for house sitting or helping out with your pet.”
About: Our dogs and cats are not just pets, but furry members of our families. I approach animal care with compassion and dignity, knowing that each furry friend is a unique character with traits and a personality all of their own. I've lived with dogs for the past 20 years, and have sat and provided dog/cat care for many of my friends. I currently reside with one dog, Bisquit who is 16 years old and everyone's favorite little dog. I'm excited for the chance to get to know your dog and give them love and individual attention! I'm a disabled veteran getting by on my disability, so I have a lot of free time to provide pet care. I'm available 7 days a week from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. with same day notice. I provide animal care to the exact standards and care instructions given to me by the human counterpart. You're the expert of your pet, and I strive to provide at least the same level of loving care given by their family. I provide updates and check ins with photos, and am available by phone if something should come up.
About: Aloha! I’m Allison, and my journey with dogs began in Honolulu, walking alongside my dad—an incredible K9 police officer—before I could even spell “sit.” That early start shaped my lifelong connection with dogs, especially the ones who need a little extra understanding and care. Over the years, I’ve studied the greats—like Cesar Millan’s calm leadership and Zak George’s positive reinforcement methods—and created my own balanced approach that brings out the best in every dog. I believe training isn't just about obedience—it's about building trust, connection, and confidence. Whether your pup is shy, spirited, or just needs a good daily stroll, I’m here to help. My walks are more than just potty breaks—they’re mini adventures filled with mental stimulation, respect, and love. And the more well-behaved dogs out there? The more homes open up for shelter and rescue pups. 🐶💕 I am a parent first and foremost. I walk dogs and train when he is in school. 8 am to 2 pm , I can get a sitter or sometimes he comes along depending on the client and dog. When scheduling, the sitters schedule and weather are a factor, but we always get it figured out. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, structured environment where your pet feels secure, loved, and respected.
About: Growing up in a loving home filled with all kind of animals helped me become the person I am now. Pets are our children and should always be cared for and loved. I currently work part time and would like to add more activities in my day to day life. Pet care is extremely important. On days off I do like to go on small beach hikes or have a day in which work perfect. I have 2 fur babies that are loved immensely and extremely sweet. My 9 year old Pitbull has been around extremely high energy puppies/dogs and although he wants to keep up he spends most times taking a nap in the back yard. I also have a 10 year old tabby cat who also spends most of the day sleeping but becomes very excited when it’s time for his meals. I have both a back and front yard…they are not fenced in and have not had any issues this far. Although I know my babies will not run I would not run the risk of that happening to yours. I promise before stepping out side your babies will be securely by my side the entire time. My husband also loves going on hikes and is a sucker for playing fetch.
“Taurie sat for our cat over the holidays and we are extremely happy. Our cat was happy and the house was completely clean when we arrived home. We would definitely hire Taurie again.”
“We’re so grateful to Celcionna! She came out to our rural location to check on our two kitties while we were out of town and we can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our critters. They’re so happy and we would 100% love to have her drop in on them anytime, thank you Celcionna!”
“Jenelle was AWESOME! She took great care of our cats and our house while we were away. One of our cats got a thorn stuck in his paw and Jenelle took him to the vet, got special litter for him, and quarantined him in a room separate from the other cats! She left a daily log of events, took out the garbage on garbage day, and cleaned everything before we got home. We will definitely ask Jenelle to watch our house and pets again!”
About: I am a highly active 29-year-old Oregon native. I have found a great deal of joy in spending time with pets and am a compassionate, patient caretaker. I have my own dog, who I adore, but had to leave behind with my man while I do internships for school. I used choice based training strategies to provide positive reinforcement consistently and he is the best behaved dog. My whole life I've been surrounded by pets, including both cats and dogs. Throughout the years I've learned to care for them from my loving parents and vet tech sister. In recent years, I sharpened my pet care expertise by dog sitting. I strongly believe in giving animals the attention they deserve through positive engagement and stimulating activities. Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in my personal and professional references. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently work full time with a flexible schedule. I can check in on pets frequently and provide stimulating play activities, walking, and choice based behavior training for them when we are together. I have a young dog who is well behaved and crate-trained. He gets along well with other dogs and loves to play in the large backyard area.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. Walking, feeding, young puppy experiences included. I have many friends who have dogs of their own and ask me to walk/feed often. I have one doggo, Iroh (American staffy, 4 y/o), who likes to play but will take the hint if your pup does not. I work from home so am flexible in schedule and take lots of outside breaks. I look forward to hanging out with your pets! I work remotely so am flexible when it comes to watching/walking your pup. I take at least two walks with my dog during working hours. My pup has free range of my apartment (couch and bed too of course) and will allow yours the same, if that is your preference!

Keith W.
“Keith is such a great animal lover. I have a cat Darcy that he comes to check on when I'm out of town and she loves him (which for a cat, I feel is saying something in itself). He always makes she is fed, and spends some time to play with her. 10/10 would hire again”
Allison B.
“Allison is wonderful! She does what she says she can do and more. She goes the extra step to ensure your baby is taken care of. She is patient, listens to my pet's body language and mannerisms and she reads my pet correctly. One week and my pitbull is well on her way to being the best dog someone could hope for. Chica is her name and she was already a great dog but does have some lame habits that I am just not dog savvy enough to help Chica overcome. But Allison has that savviness to step in and take over. Really recommend Allison Aquino. You get your money's worth for sure! She supplies doggie reports and other little snip snaps to validate your doggie's progress. Very happy with the results. I've tried a few others but did not get results like I have with Allison and within an awesome timeframe as well.”
