House Sitting in Metolius

About: I’ve lived with or taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and needs my entire life! Have a high energy and chaotic fur baby? It’s a good thing I love walks and playing! Got a more relaxed and calm dog? We can go to the park and read a nice book together! I am a recently graduated college student waiting to start my Masters program so my days are vastly open! I would love to fill my days with your animals and helping out where I can! I am attentive to all animals and carefully read all care instructions left by owners. I am also very careful with the weather conditions as animals are more susceptible to heat and cold then we are!

“McKenna and Charlie (my dog) got along great from the moment they met. I knew right there I made the right chose to care for Charlie while I was gone. McKenna was very responsible and kept me informed I will definitely call her when I need someone again”

About: Hi! I'm Megan, and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew upon a farm and currently have a 130 lb. Newfoundland, so I'm very comfortable handling large breeds as well as small dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with respect. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, medications, or simply keeping your pets company, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I provide clear communication and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and can provide morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. Since my daughter is sometimes with her dad I am also available for overnight house sitting. I plan my day around your pet's routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I treat your home and pets with respect and care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific routines you provide. I am comfortable with large and giant breeds, and I prioritize safety, secure doors, and clear communication. You will receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Junna was very good at communication, keeping me up to date over the time she took care of my dogs. I will definitely rebook in the future.”

Thomas H.

“Outstanding. My dogs have never been so well cared for or so happy to have a sitter/walker. Milissa gave me updates and communication every day about how my dogs were doing and what they did. I will always reach out to her first for any walking or babysitting I need. Truly a wonderful caring person.”

Reagan N.

“Absolutely love working with Janis. Her communication and professionalism made my vacation away from the four legged kids non stressful. Would definitely have her come again to babysit.”

Tina K.

“Dafne’s the very BEST! I will use her again because it’s like leaving my 90lb German Shepherd with a family member. She took her on outings, walks, and treated her like her own baby girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so very much Dafne!!!”

About: Dogs: - I've owned 14 dogs, all different breeds. Mainly over 40 lbs but a few small breeds too - I've gone through formal, professional dog training with 8 dogs. Including puppy training and agility courses. Since then, I've picked up training dogs as a hobby for friends and family. - Great with puppies and senior dogs alike Cats: - I've owned 7 cats - no formal cat training, but love to play and cuddle them :) I work remotely, and can easily do so from your home too. I have an 8 year old, 40lb, active mixed breed dog myself. We go for walks in the morning and the dog park right after work around 3p. My work schedule is really flexible so dedicated attention to your animals is something I can easily accommodate to. Since I'm a single dog mom, my dog Ziya will be coming with on our visits. I can assure you she gets along with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. She knows when it's acceptable to play and when another dog just wants space. She has been formally trained and has been exposed to fostering and dog/cat sitting her whole life. Also, grew up with chickens and doesn't pay them any attention I have house sat at many friends and families homes and understand that different pets have different routines. Since my work schedule is flexible, I can easily accommodate to fit yours.

“Heather is great! She takes amazing care of our pup, and we came home to a spotless house. Such great peace of mind having her house sit!”

“Christy is a fantastic house & pet sitter. She is responsible, organized, experienced, and a fantastic communicator. She took care of my wild 5 month puppy and two older cats for a week, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t worry about my pets at all while I was gone. She sent me tons of pictures and videos throughout the day, which I loved. I had a pretty complicated routine that keeps my puppy & two cats separate, and she had no problem. Truth is, she’s probably better taking care of my pets and house than I am! Icing on the cake is she offered to water my plants outside because it was so hot that week. She’s a true professional, and I’m so grateful I found her!”

Aura C.

“I heartily recommend Quyanna! We received regular reports with photos, she took our dog out on hikes and snuggled with her at home, we returned to a happy dog and a spotless house. She is very personable and easy to work with. What more could you ask for? Nothing!”

About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, dogs, and cats throughout my life. Care has ranged from dropping by just to make sure the food and water bowl is still full to staying overnight and going on multiple walks a day. I have a vehicle that can transport animals in if you do not have a walkable neighborhood or would prefer your pet to go out on a trail. From puppies to senior dogs, cats, reptiles, and even fish- I’m happy to help take care of your furry/feathered/slimy family members! I am happy to house sit during the work week and can take care of animals before and after work hours. With 3 day weekends, I have more flexibility to stop by in the middle of the day or several times a day! Saftey is at the forefront of my mind I want to be very mindful of the environment, most importantly people and other animals. I also assume responsibility if there is some sort of mess created by your animals I am happy to clean that up.

“Jordana was absolutely amazing with my injured 12 year old dog! My pup's nerve injury definitely makes it complicated to find a trustworthy pet sitter, so I was thrilled to find someone as calm, qualified, and communicative as Jordana. She updated me throughout the weekend, which definitely helped MY anxiety!! I'll definitely be booking her again, 10/10 recommend!!”

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I have consistently been pet-sitting for close family members for a few years now. I am amazing with the senior dogs but am up for the playful energy for the pups. I am here to make your trip stress-free :) I am currently attending COCC while also working part-time. I am a motivational hard worker, who has a very flexible schedule with open availability during holidays. This is a side hustle for me to save money for school expenses and to create meaningful memories with furry friends! I enjoy dogs more than humans! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, and cats. I provide a fun, playful experience with your fur babies. I prioritize comfort and safety over everything when it comes to your animals. I am detail-oriented and follow instructions precisely. I am experienced with giving medication as well as handling special needs animals.

“This was Kate's first time watching Bodhi and minding our house and it all went very well. Kate handled all the dog care duties easily and on-time, and left our house cleaner than it started. Our dog, Bodhi, is an anxious guy and Kate seemed to have a calming, reassuring influence on him. Just to be clear: Kate stayed at our house overnight during this visit. Our dog needs an overnight human or he flips out.”

“Used Lauryn for a week to stay with our two dogs. Wonderful job caring for the dogs. Responsive to my texts and updates on the dogs. House was in great shape when we arrived back home. Highly recommend. Will use her services again.”

Christopher L.

“Sophia and her bf were wonderful sitters! They sent updates with photos and it’s pretty clear that my pups were taken care of. The house was also clean which is a plus ?”

About: I have been around dogs of different temperaments and personalies my whole life and I'm the kind of person who stops to pet every dog I come across. When I spend time with my dogs I enjoy being outside and active, just as much as hanging out and giving pets. I've never met a dog I didn't get along with, and I promise they'll love hanging out with me (maybe too much). I like to either go for a walk, run, ski, or maybe even for an excursion into the mountains. It really depends on the dog though. If we need to keep it low-key then we'll just do a few laps in the neighborhood or even just hang out at home. Aside from getting the pup some exercise, I will often go spend time with friends or go run errands. In these cases I like to bring the dog with me as much as possible, but again, it depends on the dog. If you have a younger dog I can do some very basic training in obedience, commands and behavior. I work inconsistent hours and days. Outside of that I spend time outside or at the house cooking and hanging out with friends. Typically if I'm not working I will spend most of the day with the pet. When I do work, I can be gone 8 to 14 hours, so I like to get up super early to walk the dog, and take care of chores. This really depends on the pet. Some dogs like to flee if they get out, some like to stay around the people. Some dogs are friendly to other dogs, some are not. Some are all bark and no bite, some no bark and all bite. Learning how the dog does in different situations helps me figure out where I can take them, and how to take care of them and keep them safe. I think the big thing about house sitting is making sure they have everything they need before I leave them for an extended period of time: taking them out to poo, making sure they're fed, making sure there's no human food left out for them to snatch, etc.

“Danya is amazing! She went above and beyond while house sitting; and we felt totally at-ease leaving our dog in her care. She's very responsive and I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets!”

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life currently have 2 and I take upmost care to make sure the animals in my care are happy healthy and safe I work 2 to 3 days a week at a care home but I am free most of the week. To walk play and take care of your furry family members I have an unfensed yard but have plenty of time to take them for walks and go to the park with them. I have 2 other dogs both can be kept separately or can be playful companions to your pups
