Cat Sitting Laurel

About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.

“I cannot be thankful enough for the way Emily has taken care of our pets! She has been super great with communication sending pictures of everyone daily, and having so much fun with them, they all are being taken care of really well, and I see from the pictures how much they like her. This is definitely a 10/10 service!”

About: I am experienced at caring for small to medium sized dogs, and have experience walking large dogs. I love to play, cuddle dogs, and take them on long walks. I volunteered for a few months at the shelter cleaning cages and taking small dogs out to walk and play. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, allowing me to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I am adaptable and can adjust to your pet's specific needs. I am able to travel or stay at your home to watch your pets. I am serious about safety and keeping doors locked at all times. I like to keep the home clean, especially for your return.

“Ayalene was great! She followed all my instructions and my kitties loved her! I would absolutely hire her again :)”

“Jennifer looked after my pet cat pretty well while I was out of town for a few days. She sent daily updates and lots of pictures. The room in which my cat stayed seemed very cozy with lots of things that cats need. I would surely rebook with Jennifer in the future!”

“Natalie is such an amazing sitter! We had to find a new sitter and she is wonderful. She cleaned up some messes one of our older cats made, ensured that their waters were clean, and loved on my cats. Keeping her info for the future!!”

About: At the age of 16 years old I started working at a veterinarian clinic making appointments, cleaning, walking, playing, and setting up for surgeries for spay/neuter I am currently working part-time doordashing so I can make my own hours so I have a very flexible schedule to play with your pups I have a fully fenced yard with a doggie door and a dumb outside to keep your pups dry. I also have a very friendly 10-year-old Labrador mix! There is a dog friendly park behind my house!

About: I have been walking dogs for the past 7 years ago and I have been pet sitting for about 5 years. I have experience working with with all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors, and various sizes and breeds. I love caring for people's pets while they are away and making sure that the animals are comfortable and happy! I also have experience cat sitting and love cats just as much as dogs!! I have two cats of my own, and grew up having dogs! I also currently work with puppies on the weekends :) I work on the weekends and have off most of the week, so I have a pretty open schedule Monday through Friday! I’d love to spend time hanging with and caring for other peoples animal during the week! I care for pets by introducing myself to them, letting them sniff me, and building trust and a relationship. I am happy to follow any directions given to provide quality care to clients’ pets! I also make sure to do unspoken things, like refill water bowls, etc. Since I’ve had pets all my life, I am very familiar with how to care for them :)

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was nine years old, when my family began fostering animals. Growing up, I took an active role in their daily care, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure each animal felt comfortable and loved. These experiences taught me how to adapt to pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I also grew up with an energetic Australian Shepherd who was part of my family for 13 years, so I’m especially comfortable with active breeds that need plenty of exercise and attention! Since high school, I’ve also regularly walked and cared for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m a very active person who loves spending time outdoors, and I’d be happy to take your dog on anything from a relaxed neighborhood stroll to a longer, energetic walk or run, depending on their needs. Whether your pet loves exploring outside, playing fetch, or relaxing with some extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive thoughtful, dependable care and plenty of affection! I currently work part-time as a medical assistant, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate my days off to pet care. I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine! Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk or a longer run for a high-energy pup, I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I enjoy while making sure your pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, so I always prioritize following their owner’s instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their usual feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and give them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels and love tailoring walks to their needs. I also understand the importance of respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and love I’ve given my own pets over the years!

“Kaitlyn is a great cat-sitter. I returned to a quite happy cat. She followed all provided instructions and promptly replied during the entire duration of the cat sitting. Even though my cat is pretty shy around new people, Kaitlyn quickly earned his trust. Kaitlyn provided many pictures and prompt updates for each day's visit and was thoughtful enough to double-check that I was returning as expected. I unequivocally recommend her as a cat-sitter and would book again.”

“Rachel is a wonderful pet sitter and took great care of our 10 year old cat while we were away for a week. She sent daily updates and photos which made us feel at ease that Leliana was well taken care of. We strongly recommend Rachel and will definitely ask her to look after our cat when we travel again!”

About: I have cared for animals of all kinds since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs, cats, chinchillas, chickens, hamsters, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. I love all animals, and will happily care for your fur baby/ies and other critters! I currently work part time from home, and have flexibility throughout the week. Aside from school drop off and pick ups on Mondays, I am available most days. I can drop in as often as 3 x per day to feed, walk, and/or play with your animal. I can play fetch in your fenced yard, or take them for a spirited walk or run to get their energy out.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and I’m deeply committed to providing the same level of love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, handling leashed walks, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. My priority is making sure your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve recently moved back to the Portland area to finish school online, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pets! Text me and let me know how I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs! I prioritize following all instructions as their written, from feeding schedules, walks, to adhering to any medical needs your pet may have. I will provide the utmost care and respect for your home and animals to ensure everyone feels at ease.

About: I have experience with house sitting both large and small dogs and making sure they get plenty of exercise and care. I also can do plant care as well I currently do doordash and art commissions from home so I have pretty open availability right now! I do have two cats at home so I still need to check in on them as well. I always make sure everything is tidy and that each pet gets equal amount of care. Set daily and weekly routines for them and always check over them to make sure there's nothing abnormal.

About: My name is Anna, I'm 29 years old, and I love all animals. My favorites would be dogs and cats! They are worth having someone who cares about them to watch over them while their family is away, and I can provide that for them. I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid, as well as many experiences watching friends’ pets, so I have quite a bit of experience. Know that your own baby would be spoiled and taken amazing care of with me! I would so enjoy taking care of your dog(s). I have a friendly, playful dog who would love to have company at my house during doggy day care or boarding stays. I offer daycare and boarding in my apartment, and I also do pet sitting in your home, or drop in visits as needed. I am also available for dog walking. I’m currently taking college classes online, so my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention all throughout the day! I typically give tons of pets and cuddles if they want them, my priority is their comfort and happiness while they’re here. I live in a ground floor apartment with quick access to outside, so I can take your pup potty plenty of times easily. Dogs are allowed on furniture, they are part of the family while they’re here! I never leave them alone, if I have to leave (which is rare, I try to plan my errands around my dog schedule) I will take them with me in the car, or crate them, whatever works best for you and your dog! My own dog, Max, loves new and familiar dog friends coming over. He likes to play with other dogs, but he’s pretty gentle and mostly likes to play tug and fetch. He loves keeping other dogs company and just being their friend, so your dog won’t be lonely!

About: Hey there! I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life and have hands-on experience with dogs and cats . I currently work in veterinary medicine, so I’m comfortable caring for animals with different needs, recognizing changes in behavior, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, large and strong dogs. I’m comfortable handling animals that need extra patience, space, and understanding. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away! I own and operate my own farrier business, so I may occasionally be away for a couple of hours during the day while I’m working with horses. I’ll always discuss this with you beforehand to make sure your pet is comfortable being left alone for a few hours. If they aren’t, no worries at all! I can also schedule my farrier work around whatever your pet may need. Outside of work, I’ll have plenty of time for walks, playtime, attention, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have years of hands-on experience with animals and am comfortable with dogs, cats, horses, and small animals, including nervous or reactive pets. I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll always communicate with you if anything comes up and make sure your pet gets the same care and attention they’re used to.

“My madison was amazing reliable, caring, and clearly great with animals. My cats were happy and relaxed when I got home, and I loved the photo updates. Highly recommend!”

About: I love dogs. Growing up, I've cared for several family dogs, including a shih-poo named Kirby, a german shepherd/lab/husky mix named Beauty, and two miniature golden doodles named Amber and Rusty. I volunteered weekly as a 'Canine Companion' at the Humane Society for three and a half years, walking, training and cleaning up after dogs, and providing feedback to help them find homes. I had a few hours of formal dog training at the Humane Society. My wife used to work as a vet tech, so she's also a great source of knowledge for animal care that I draw from. I drive from Hillsboro to Portland to drop my wife off at College at 10am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; I pick her up at 6pm. I can attend to clients in both locations and Beaverton since I drive this route often. I have a cat in a two bedroom apartment. There's a lot of other dogs and leashless dog parks in the area, which is ideal if your dog is friendly with other animals. I'm used to caring for my friend's cats in his home, bringing in his mail and tending his garden. I bring a calm, quiet presence that keeps the cats relaxed.

“Angela took great care of our pups during drop in visits while we were away!”
