“Lieren helped us out last minute with a drop in visit with our pups while my wife is out of town. We appreciate her so much for her time and willingness to help!”


About: We are a loving household comprised of myself, my husband, our two kiddos and two sweet hound dogs. Frito is a yellow hound/lab mix who loves to sleep and hang with his family. Bacca is a coonhound with the attitude to match! He likes to express himself often and loudly, but can be a very chill guy once he's gotten his sniffs in. Both are friendly towards all kinds of other dogs. We have experience with dog sitting in our home and we have in the past fostered deaf dogs (through Deaf Dogs of Oregon rescue) while they are found their forever homes. Our house isn't large, but the dogs are basically in charge and we like it that way (they are our kids, along with our human kiddos!) We have a large fenced back yard for the pooches to run in as well. About this sitter: My husband works outside the home and my main job is stay at home mom to my two kiddos (so I'm home a lot!).I love hanging out with my dogs and kids most of the time. We like to hang out in the big back yard. My hubby is a big help with the dogs as well. Why I love dog sitting Both my husband and I grew up loving dogs. My family always had two or three dogs on my parents' 4 acre homestead. We always had big dogs, and a few wiener dogs. They were always part of the family. My husband Justin rescued our late dog Jughead when he was a puppy from a neglectful home, and trained him up to be an awesome dog, who we still miss very much. We adopted our dog Frito together when he was 8 weeks old and he's grown up in our care a very good boy. Our coonhound Bacca is good at very loudly expressing himself (especially when you first meet him!) but he really just wants to be everyone's friend and get pets and okay. About my yard We have a large backyard, about 1/3 of which is covered. The rest is open, with large pine and cedar trees in the back third of the yard near the back fence. We have couches that the dogs often run around, and over when they are playing. There isn't much grass (it won't grow) and the dirt gets a bit dusty when its dry. The dogs like to run, play, and lay out in the sunshine. I am a stay at home mom currently so I'm very flexible with accommodating your dogs needs. I'll be available for drop in visits and walks during the week while my kids are at school, and more often on the weekends if your pet is friendly around children. I have a large fully fenced back yard and two dogs too keep your dog company. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
About: Pets are family! It is an honor to take care of your loved ones. 💚 My family owned golden retrievers, golden doodles, and Yorkshire terriers growing up and I was always involved in the process of training and taking care of them from puppies through adulthood. Now, as an adult, I have three cats and two dogs of my own! One of my dogs is deaf and short-sighted, so I understand how to take care of pets with special needs. I also have experience with puppies and have taken courses recently on puppy training; if training is something you’re interested in, I’m happy to work with your dog while we’re together! Overall, I am patient, kind, and love getting to know the souls around me— people and animals alike! I work as a therapist, so I have flexibility and availability throughout an average day! I can take breaks to let dogs out to go potty or to go for a walk between my appointments. As an owner of a dog with special needs, I know the importance of keeping a safe environment, giving our fur babies their medications on time, staying on top of their grooming, and keeping them in physical shape. I will take care of your pet family like I do my own! I have variety of grooming supplies and treats that I can offer as well if needed.
“Christina has been an absolute blessing! Onyx (our 12 week old puppy) loves Christina and warmed up to her right away. Christina is reliable, prompt and updates me when I am at work which is always so comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her.”

“Madeline was professional and friendly and a pleasure to work with! I have a senior cat with hyperthyroidism, and I had been struggling to make arrangements for her while I was out of town for a week, so my request to Madeline was fairly last-minute. She was quick to respond and arrange a meet-and-greet. My cat requires twice-daily applications of medicine, which is a tall order, but Madeline never missed a drop-in. My cat is not comfortable around strangers, so I was impressed to get a Rover Card showing her allowing Madeline to pet her about halfway through my trip! I came home a week later to a happy, healthy cat.”

“Elizabeth took good care of dog and cat. She follwed all directions and even locked my door that was left unlocked. I will definately call her again.appreciated the texts and photos too”

“Erin was wonderful. My cats loved her. The reports and photos she sent to me were so reassuring. I would invite her back anytime. She went above and beyond in her visits.”

About: I have had animals my whole life (birds, cats, dogs, etc.) and have always fed, walked, groomed, and made sure they had plenty of outside play time as well. I've taken care of family and friends animals as well taking care to follow any specific instructions they have. I've cared for puppies and kittens newly born as well. Currently my roommate has two cats and a small dog as well that I help out with when she's busy. I love animals with all my heart and would love to be chosen to care for yours! I work part time 3 days a week so I have plenty of time for play, walks, and getting to just hang out with your pet! I'm available for boarding fri-tue because I work 3 am on the days I do work. I will be getting a new work from home job soon so my availability will open up! My roommate has 2 cats and a doxen/corgi mix. On the days she works I feed them all in the morning and take her dog out to use the bathroom every few hours throughout the day and we love to go to the park! I feed them all dinner on days she needs it as well.
“Rachel came to meet our puppies on her own time before helping us out. She has been very flexible and accommodating trying out different things with them to figure out what makes them happy.”

About: I've always had animals in my life. My most recent Dog I had for 16 years. I am a lover of all animals. I will care for your pets as if they were my own I have a full-time day job. I am fortunate enough to be flexible with my hours. I should have no issues tending to your pet. I am a very caring and nurturing person. I always want what's best for animals. I love going on walks and playing with dogs. I will follow instructions as noted.
“Dominique is wonderful w our two dogs. We have one rather shy girl, and he really took the time get to know her and make her feel comfortable. Now she snuggles with him whenever he visits. He’s attuned to dog body language, and it’s clear that he truly loves spending time with the animals he’s caring for. He’s there for the snuggles, fetch games, & making our dogs happy. He sends detailed reports and photos w each visit. And he’s a very upbeat, enjoyable fellow to be around. Recommend!”

About: I always grew up with a dog or two until I moved away from home. I have dog walked and pet sit many times throughout my life from teenage years to now. I'm the person at the party who is more focused on the pets loving me than socializing with actual people. I am a former teacher so I am patient, detail-oriented, and take others' safety as my top priority. I currently have fully open availability! I am currently in between jobs, and therefore have a wide range of availability to help fit your needs! As a former teacher of 10 years, I am well trained in eyes on supervision. I also keep all those around me safe under my supervision, and I take the proper steps to maintain adequate leash and crate care.
“Colleen is amazing! She is great with communication and is very professional! She has watched my dog at my house and done a drop in visit on very short notice. She’s trustworthy and very sweet:) if you’re considering booking with her, I would recommend it!”
About: I couldn’t imagine a home without a furry pet. My family has always had dogs and cats. I’ve worked with dogs ands cats of all age sizes and ages. & I’m looking forward to showing your beloved animal some love. I am currently in school full-time. I have availability Monday through Friday morning. I am fully available on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have class from 1pm-5pm on Monday and Wednesday. We make sure walk to our dog multiple times a day and play time throughout the day. Our cat is in an indoor cat with plenty of toys and people to play with.
“Consistent communication, mishap on my part and she worked around it to make sure my boy was taken care of. Always cheerful and happy to come out check up on chief. 10/10 will request again.”

“It was great to work with Leandra. She came through on short notice. It was clear from the photos she sent that the dogs loved her. We have just rebooked a handful of additional drop in and house sitting dates.”
“Brianna was great at taking on a special drop-in visit by taking Judi to a vet appt while I'm healing from an illness. She was on time. Made fast friends with Judi and got her to her appt.”
