House Sitting Low Pass

“Lauren was wonderful! She communicated well and sent videos and photos. Our high maintenance cat was pretty chill with Lauren. I take that as a win!”

About: All my life I’ve been obsessed with dogs 🐶 When I was finishing up nursing school, I needed to find some part time work to help make ends meet. I found a job as a kennel technician at a commercial dog boarding facility - where I mostly cleaned up to 36 dogs daily messes and gave them social enrichment. I quickly jumped up the short ladder of management and took over as CEO right around my first year mark of employment. I have cared for hundreds, possibly a thousand plus dogs in the last half of my entire lifetime. I’ve worked hard to help dogs and owners alike understand eachother better - communication often needs no words. I specialize in “project pups”, socialization and reactivity. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies to teenage obedience school dropouts - through the medically fragile & elderly pooches on palliative care & absolutely everything in between. I’ve worked in a rescue as an adoption coordinator and had the extreme pleasure of helping people and pooches find their forever spaces together. Along with rescuing over a dozen dogs of my own over the years & nursing several back to health from horrific conditions. Dogs are my passion - simple as that. Nothing makes me happier than helping a dog & owner relationship thrive. I am a stay at home mom, my boys are 2 & 3 years old. They’ve been raised around dogs & already have learned a healthy respect for their space. I am hyper vigilant & always err on the extreme side of caution for everyone’s safety - especially when it comes to those tricky resources. Other than weekly appointments on Mondays - we have a very flexible and open schedule. Our yard is fully fenced with 6 foot - reinforced wood fencing. Gates are double locked to keep toddlers from opening them - dogs too. I have a 10 year old spayed female border collie that I picked from her litter at 3 weeks old. She’s my right hand gal and socially bulletproof when it comes to hanging out with her furry friends. I often used her as the “Ice Breaker” dog when I ran the boarding facility - meaning she did all the temperament testing for any newly boarded dogs we were socially unsure about. We have multiple baby gates, and crate option for separation of space. A dog door built into our back door leading into our fully fenced, toddlerized but maintained, grassy residential yard on a quarter acre. We live in a very quiet tiny town on an even quieter little street, perfect for safely regulated walks and training opportunities.

“Abram cared for our pups and house like they were his own. He clarified care to ensure he did things like our labs were used to and was very respectful. I felt so reassured with him at my house while I was out of town! I highly recommend Abram’s services and will be utilizing his care again in the future 🙌🐾”

“Kaitlyn wall did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and three cats for an overnight. I would definitely recommend her. When she came to return the key, our dog went happily up to her and lay down at her feet—there’s the proof right there! Plus she sent pics of the animals and was a great communicator before, during, and after her stay.”

About: I am an avid lover of animals and take my treatment of them to heart. I can keep your pup or kitty very happy and very healthy. My last old guy was a diabetic with a thyroid condition for the last 8 years of his life (2 insulin shots a day. 2 thyroid pills a day.) I’m very comfortable with giving medicine or shots to any animal. That includes emergency situations or routine management for the fur babies. My schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available most every day except for special occasions. I have a routine cancellation policy, but I’m pretty chill. I have a big fenced yard with beautiful grass and lots of things to smell. My house is single story with lots of open space for zoomies.

“Sydney took great care of our high anxiety pup for us on very short notice. She is personable and her love of dogs shows. We will use her services again for any future trips, where we just can’t take our high spirited crazy man with us.”

“Leigh was amazing! Our Monty was so comfortable with her. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. It was great to see how relaxed and happy he was. We look forward to working with Leigh again and we highly recommend her services!”

“Cats got plenty of attention and companionship as far as we could tell. Good communication and photos sent to us during her stay. We were a disappointed to find both water bowls were almost empty, one had dead flies in it, and the litter box had not been scooped for what looked like a number of days when we got home. These were things we had asked her to do daily.”

About: Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for around 10 years! Between looking after family pets, pet sitting for friends, and spending a summer interning and volunteering at a veterinary clinic, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes overnight house sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and caring for pets who require medication. During my time at the veterinary clinic, I also had the opportunity to assist with day-to-day tasks and gain valuable experience in an animal care environment. I know that pets are family, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or needs a little extra attention, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members! I’m a recent University of Oregon graduate and am currently back in my hometown for a little while, so I’m excited to spend some of my extra time doing something I love—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible right now, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines, whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or someone to keep them company while you’re away. With my current flexibility, I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I currently have several pets in my own home, so I don’t offer pet sitting or boarding at my house. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe, relaxed, and surrounded by familiar things! I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine, especially while their owners are away. I always make sure to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household rules. I’m also mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, maintaining a clean environment, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and comfortable.

About: Growing up, I've always taken care of at least 3 pups/cats at any given time and have been raised to treat them like siblings rather than just animals. I've done almost everything in pet care you could think of including grooming, bathing, feeding, boarding, staying over for long hauls, etc. And if given the opportunity I would love to care for your pets as if they were my own, creating a good experience for them while also easing your mind during your travels or workdays. I am off 4 days out of the week so during those times I can be completely committed to your pet! The days I do work I am able to leave to take out pets multiple times during my shifts, so rest easy, they will not be alone for too long. I am a very mailable person and can bend/adjust to you and your pets needs; just let me know beforehand :) In my home, I do own cats and they are okay with dogs and cats. If I am needed to stay over at the client's house, I will follow all house rules set and will to not deter from your usual schedule with the pets lives (same walking times/routes, play times, etc.) Each watch/play date is different so whatever is most advantageous to the client's interest along with the pets comfortability and happiness is what I will do :)

About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I have always been comfortable around animals and know how to take care of them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, feeding them, and making sure they feel happy and cared for. I treat every pet with the same love and attention I would give my own! As a university student, I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m available from 6–11 AM and again anytime after 2 PM until whenever. I’m currently available after 3pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m also available for overnight care anyday! I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, and care while you’re away! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. In a client’s home, I will follow all instructions they provide, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any routines their pet is used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention and treat every pet like they are my own. 🐾

About: “What sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ pets—I pay attention to them. I notice their moods, their routines, and what makes them feel safe. I know how important consistency and trust are, so I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone, so I make sure you feel comfortable too, with updates and clear communication.” “Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m organized and reliable, so I don’t overbook and can give each pet the time and care they deserve.” I live in an apartment with no yard, but I’ve always made daily walks and neighborhood outings a priority. I previously cared for my dog for 16 years in a similar setup, so I’m used to providing consistent exercise, attention, and structured routines outside of having a yard.”

“Hannah is simply fantastic!!! I can't think of a sitter, family or friend who, upon meeting our 3 dogs, has a more natural and instant connection with our pups. And whether she sits for a short period of time or longer period, she sends photos frequently, and communicates effectively. We've always trusted her, and we love how the pups are calm and simply chillin' when we get home. As always, well done Hannah!”

About: I've taken care of pets basically my whole life, especially cats, and I've also had a dog for a couple years. I'm always the first person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I stay well read on what's good for animals, from training to helping with anxiety, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a pet is happy. They're living creatures who deserve just as much happiness as we do. In terms of training, I've helped a cat retrain to use the litter box after it regressed due to anxiety, working through the root cause rather than just the behavior itself. I've also reduced aggression in animals through consistent training. I'm willing to stick with things for a long time and stay consistent, especially when it's for the betterment of the animal. My life is quite flexible, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I prefer jobs where I'm able to stay in charge of how the work gets done, since that's when I feel like I can give my best contribution. That flexibility means I can adjust to a pet's needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid schedule. When I'm caring for a pet in their own environment, I make sure to respect their space and routine completely, from where they're allowed to go to how they're used to being handled. I pay close attention to safety details like doors, gates, and anything that could be harmful to them, and I adapt to whatever setup the home already has in place.
