House Sitting Merlin

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. Whether it was my own while my parents were gone or friends and neighbors as I got older. I have cared for both really active dogs that need to run all the time and older slower pets that need a lot of attention to details. I am currently a student at Western Oregon University enjoying my summer break back home. So I am available any time as I can create my own schedule. I can’t keep pets here but I am willing and able to do anything needed whether it is crating or making sure they are properly leashed if need be. I can also just watch as they run around!

“Alicia was great with our silly crazy pup. She recognized that he is definitley our fur baby and took care of him just the same. She was GREAT with wanting to understand his day to day and giving great updates while we were out of town. We could tell when we came home, based on his behavior, and no torn up toys that she was very attentive to him while she was here. Thank you again Alicia!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and my grandma used to train guide dogs for the blind so I have a lot of experience with dogs. I am a student at WOU and I work part time so I have plenty of time to hang out, walk and play with your dog or cat. I don’t have any pets of my own but I love taking dogs on walks or running around and playing with them in the fields around my apartment.

“Jen was an efficient communicator. Our dog was immediately comfortable with her. She's attentive to each pets specific needs.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was a baby. I trained my sister's dog when I was 12 and took care of her for three months while she was gone. Shortly after she moved out I got my own dog who inspired me to get into dog training. I have house sat since I was 16 and have helped around 7 local families with their dogs and cats. I was a kennel tech for a year and gained knowledge and experience from that as well. I am currently a full-time student, and aspiring dog trainer, so I have time and availability throughout the day to take care of animals. And the care of animals fits with my long term goal so I can make it a priority. My dog has a quarter acer back yard and gets taken on walks daily, and I fit training in where I can. He gets a chew toy and a sniff mat for enrichment most days on top of eating from a slow feeder for meals.

“Danielle was everything we hoped for and more, ensuring our cat was visited daily (even on Christmas Day). She sent darling videos and photos and he was obviously given a ton of love. We feel such relief knowing she will be part of our travel plans when we need a cat sitter.”

About: Suz and Brian have both been lifelong pet parents. Suz worked for a pet hospital for years and almost all of our pets over the last 20 years have been special needs rescue babies.(diabetic, blind, deaf, liver shunt, dementia, cancer, etc) This means we are well versed in special needs care for your special needs kiddos. Pills, SubQ injections, SubQ fluids, bandage changes, glucose testing, Suz works remotely from home, available to your pet as needed through the day for loves, medicine, etc. Brian currently works out of the home but will be retiring soon and will then be 100% dedicated to caring for the pets of our clients! We are available for meet and greet, home checks, and drop off/pick up almost any time day or night and will work with you to schedule what is best for you and your pet(s). Ensuring you are comfortable with who is caring for your pet(s) is second only to your pet(s) safety and well being in our care! Cat boarding: since we have a cat of our own and we know other cats may not be ooen to meeting her (she is ok with others.. mostly ignores them) we have a dedicated cat boarding room where she cannot go near them. Our yard has no grass (rock and astroturf) so no nasty ticks riding our coattails into the home to come in contact with your kitty. Brian is available for drop in care or overnight boarding in your home for dogs and/or cats. This is what we prefer for our own pets when we are away, maintaining their routines etc as best as possible, so want to be sure you have this option too! All of our personal pets are fully vaccinated and receive regular flea treatment.

“Rose did a great job house/pet sitting for our dog and cat! We are very thankful for her flexibility and for her care and attention with our pets. Great experience with Rose!”

About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was little! I have a huge soft spot for all animals. My family and friends always rely on me to care for their houses and pets! With a sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one recently, I decided to take some time off and be more focused on myself. That being said, my schedule is extremely open and flexible! I have a very high energy boarder collie so working with energetic dogs are not a problem for me whatsoever! I understand every animal should be getting their energy out and enjoy their lives!

About: I have a lot of love for animals. I am interested in dog walking or taking care of dogs/cats when you just need a little vacation to yourself or a busy day ahead! I have two years of experience with dog sitting. I have taken dogs on walks, stayed over night at the owner's home, fed them, play with them, and clean up after them when they have accidents. I have also taken dogs to vet appointments. I am not afraid of any type of dogs. They have this effect on me that makes me fall in love with them or feel better when I'm feeling down. I’m currently off of my main job as a special needs aide at a middle school as it is summer time! I have a lot of free time right now. I always want pets to feel safe and secure when they’re with me. I like using a soft voice with dogs, unless told to be more stern by the owners. I have experience with dogs that have been abused and are more timid, I usually sit on the floor with them until they trust me enough to come up to me.

“Elizabeth looked after Pepper, our Boston terrier for 25 days - not a small amount of time - and the longest period we'd been apart. Elizabeth was great - we got regular photo's and updates. Pepper was happy and in great shape when we came home and the house was immaculate. Elizabeth was lovely, and really took care of Pepper and we're very thankful for her looking after Pepper on quite short notice for so long over the holiday period. Will definitely be looking to Elizabeth as our go-to siter in future. Thank you!!”

About: I have always loved and had pets. I love them even more now that Im an adult. I have worked in the pet industry for many years and think I have a greater knowledge of care. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish (fresh and salt), birds, reptiles, anphibians, hamsters, and even chickens. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats right now. I have been involved with a local animal rescue. We have help rescue several young dogs as well as a litter of puppies. I have family and friends that I sit for on a regular. Sometime I end up watering the yard and gardens. Fur babies are a huge part of my life everyday. I feel like my pets are important family members. I probably spoil my dogs terribly. I make them there own bday cakes. I also make homemade ice cream. I add veggies to there food. I make sure they have good toys for interacting. I spend a good amount of time interacting scratching, and talking to my regular fur babies. When in someones home I mind my own business. I try to leave no trace I was there. Cleaning up what ever I use. Respect is very important.

About: We had animals in our house my entire life and I can't be without one. Currently, I have a Golden named, Luna and a black cat named Skippy. Growing up we had ducks, pigmy goats, dogs, cats and cockatoos. I love all animals. I have experience with puppies and senior care too. I look forward to sitting for you! I have a lot of availability. I currently work part-time. I'm here to walk/hike, play, feed, pet and whatever else you might need for your animals! I will care for your pets in whatever capacity they need. My dog and cat are indoor / outdoor. We live on the river and we go outside often. We play and cuddle.

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs, cats, and various other animals for over 20 years. I have worked with many dogs with teaching basic manners and cues. I love all animals and am happy to help in any way that I can. :) I work full time Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:00pm. My office is less than 1 mile from work so I easily come home for my lunch break to tend to the animals. Outside of work, I am mostly home and prefer to spend time with the animals. I am happy to handwalk dogs, play fetch, and work on training skills if requested. I am flexible with requests :) I work full time Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:00pm and work less than 1 mile from home so easily come home on my lunch break to tend to animals. I also have weekends off so your pup won’t be home alone often. 😊 I have both a smaller and larger fenced area for the dogs to play. I like to take the pups on walks via leash if the owner is comfortable, and turn them out in the yards to run while being supervised. I have a 75lb 3 ur old pup that gets along very well with all other dogs!

“Charlotte was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. I would hire her again in a heart beat. She was so sweet and the perfect match for our two huskies. One of our huskies is blind and pretty timid, and she even won her over, which can be a pretty difficult feat. I can’t thank her enough. Our dogs are probably going to be disappointed that we are home since she took such great care of them. We would highly recommend Charlotte.”
