Pet care experience

animal whisperer with a farm cat

I'm a huge animal lover and grew up around them, and have been pet sitting on and off in the Corvallis area for the past 5 or so years. I love to meet and build trust with all the local pets! I understand what it feels like to have to leave them behind for a trip. I'm obsessed with cats and could spend all day with them. I had a cat with behavioral issues and have lots of sympathy, tolerance, and love for them. I found a 2 week old kitten on a farm during 2020 who was raised like a dog, following me everywhere, but he won't come with me to walk your dog or care for your kitty. I also have dog walking experience and can do leash training as well. I am happy to take your dogs around your neighborhood or drive them to trails! I worked in the agriculture industry in Oregon and Hawaii during my 20s and currently am a soil science student, available for pet care in between classes. Thanks for reading!

Aiko was again an amazing sitter for Mr. Smokey! I really appreciate her care and attention and photos of my silly, wonderful cat while away.

Solo was great with both my dogs, it took only a few visits for them to be comfortable with her and let her rub their bellies. It definitely helped that she came with treats for her intro visit. She was great at communicating with me and updating me with pictures for each visit. Would recommend her to care your fur babies!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a relaxed demeanor that makes it so animals seem to always trust me or take interest in me right away. I know how to “speak their language” and play their games so that I don't come on too strong. I like to slowly build trust with them and love the process of getting to know a new animal without words.

Pets

A typical day

I will talk to them and see how their day has been so far, sit with them for a bit and then move on to whichever activity we have planned. I love taking advantage of all the trails in town like Willamette Park, Bald Hill, and Oak Creek, so feel free to ask me about taking them there, but will generally walk your pup wherever they are accustomed.

It's good to know if they have allergies or food sensitivities since I carry treats with me. If they have any behavior quirks, fears, or like to bolt out doors.
