Cat Sitting in Oakridge

“Jessica recently spent a week watching our 2 feline friends. She stayed overnight and bonded with both cats. Her communication skills were excellent as she kept in touch with us regularly. The house was in good order when we returned. We will have her house-sit again when we leave town.”

About: I grew up in a retirement community, walking dogs for friendly neighbors—it wasn’t just about the steps, it was about connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and personalities (yes, even the occasional rogue ferret). Now, our home buzzes with two lovable goofballs—a Dutch Shepherd and a Rottweiler mix—and I co-trained my wife’s service dogs, so I know firsthand the patience and dedication it takes. My approach? Simple respect. I don’t use force or fear—just calm communication, consistency, and a few strategic belly rubs. Every dog deserves to feel safe and understood; that’s a philosophy I bring to every walk, visit, or boarding stay. Life is unpredictable—work trips, busy schedules, or just needing an extra hand. I offer reliable, judgment-free care for every furry family member, no matter their size or quirks. Trust isn’t earned —it’s built, and I’d love to build that with you. My time is primarily spent taking care of my disabled wife and our son. My schedule revolves around my wifes medical appointments and needs. I'm very good at scheduling and meeting appointments so long as they aren't an immediate request. I have raised dogs from pups to our current senior dog. Staying on top of their health and well-being is important. Dogs have needs and deserve to be treated fair and with consideration.

“You can tell right off the bat that Erica is great with animals; she connected with my kitties immediately and had a grounded presence that made them feel at ease. She’s also quick to respond to messages, friendly and easy to talk to. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Izabel was really good with my kitties. She spent time feeding and even brushing Mac's dense coat. She's very trustworthy and follows all the directions to a tee! Will ask her to care for my kitties again!”

About: I have a yellow lab and a scottish fold cat that I love taking care of! I am obsessed with animals and have always taken my lab on hikes, walks, and taught him tricks for fun! I am a very active person and I try and spend all of my free time outside. I am home from college for the summer and I’m only taking a few summer classes online so I have tons of time to make new fuzzy friends. I have a fenced in yard, a crate, lots of leashes and dog toys and treats. I have a car and can drive to anyone’s home and to the dog and park!

About: Their fur babies will be treated just like they’re part of my fur family. I will follow any special requests that we work out. Plus I worked with a dog rescue so I have access to tons of information if I need to receive new knowledge on something. I live in Oakridge so I also have access to local hiking trails and have a decent knowledge of local water areas that are safe and wonderful for pups of all ages and sizes to enjoy. Their fur child will have plenty of one on one attention from me, they will not feel left out or unloved. I will keep you in the know if your fur baby is behaving ill. I’ll even take plenty of pictures of them enjoying their time and share them with you. I am currently on temporary disability due to surgery. I just had so I’m unavailable at this time but once I have been released to do light stuff around the home, I will be able to take on some clients again. If there’s any safety concerns, we can discuss what they are and what we can do to address them. We are currently trying to save up to get our fence redone to ensure that there are no issues with your baby getting loose.

About: I am an animal lover and always have been. I grew up with both dogs and cats and love both equally. My schedule is extremely flexible and I don’t mind commuting to take care of your fur baby! I have a lot of compassion for animals and take extra care to give them both physical and emotional attention. I love being outdoors and will make sure that your pup is getting plenty of exercise. I am currently a student with a flexible schedule during the week. I am available in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings for any service you may need. Weekends and Holidays available as well. When caring for your pets while you are away I will first and foremost make sure that they feel comfortable with me. I have excellent attention to detail so I will be able to follow any care instructions including special accommodations for your fur baby. I love spending time with animals, they will be getting plenty of attention to distract them from missing you!

“Fiona is such a happy pup after Kenzie takes care of her.”

“We love having Kelsee watch our three pups! We have an older dog that requires medicine daily, a 100lbs dog, and one other younger medium size dog. All three of our dogs love Kelsee! She snuggles and plays with them and sends us pictures. She is detail oriented and all of requests were followed. We appreciate knowing we can take a family trip and know our fur babies are well taken care of!”

Rachel D.

“It was soooo relieving to have Jonathon take care of our animals. He was professional, friendly and reliable. He helped me out when the animals ran out of food and had great communication throughout the whole process. Very happy with his pet care and will book again!”

“Amazing drop-ins! She is on time and genuinely cares about your home and your pet. She even offered some of her own dog food. Just great!”

Rory F.

“Hannah was very communicative and attentive. We felt great knowing she was taking care of our cats and she was happy to bring in the mail and keep our plants watered while we were away. We'll be booking her again, for sure!”

You can rest assured that your pet will be well taken care of while you check out what Oakridge and the surrounding area has to offer. I am home most days of the week and am available to watch pets in my home. I do have a couple of cats and small children so pets must be friendly.

About: I've had cats and dogs most of my life. I frequently watch my sister's 3 small dogs as well as my friends larger Pitbull mix. But have house sat and pet watched for dozens of other friends through the years. I had the great pleasure of volunteering at Elephant Nature Park elephant rescue in Chiang Mai Thailand for a week earlier this year. I paid for the privilege of scooping poo, preparing food and other duties 😊 It was one of my life's great pleasures. I drive for Uber and Lyft so my schedule can be very flexible depending on your needs. Contact me and I'm sure we can work something out. Unfortunately my home is not suitable to care for pets as we already have 4 dogs and 4 humans. But I'm available for all services at your place.

About: Hello, my name is Virginia, I go by Gin. I am a dog momma to a 5 year old Great Dane. She is pretty much my whole world. I volunteered at the Willamette Valley Humane Society for nearly 3 years walking dogs, reading to dogs, comforting, feeding and cleaning up after so many precious dogs. Volunteer work takes a toll emotionally as some of you might know. I love animals in general but I just have a very special place in my heart for dogs. I am available anytime for dog walks or drop in visits to feed and water. I also can provide some play time on site if you have a fenced yard. My dog is well behaved and knows most commands. She loves to snuggle and be close to her humans. I treat her very much like I would a human.
