Cat Sitting in Oakridge

“We're so happy to have found Jessica and are thankful to finally have a WONDERFUL pet sitter ?!! She was attentive to our pets medical needs and communicated with us regularly. I appreciated the extra attention she gave our elderly cat who didn't always want to take his meds or eat his food. She sent funny texts and we had pics daily. We'll definitely have Jessica watch our pets whenever we go out of town!!”

About: Outside of growing up in a retirement community and walking dogs for the elderly, I have also been a dog and ferret owner for years. I currently have a Dutch Shepard and a Rottweiler mix. I also have helped co-train my wife's service dogs. I'm not afraid of dogs and just love to help. Every animal has its challenges and it's own personality. I am gentle and won't hurt any animal as that doesn't teach them anything but to avoid. If you need someone to be a helping hand, and to trust with your animals I would like to be that person. We all need a hand once in a while, I look forward to helping you soon. 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 older dog (9 years old). Staying on top of their health and well-being is important. Dogs have needs and deserve to be treated fair and with consideration.

About: I grew up in Alaska running around the woods with family dogs and even cared for a few litters of puppies in the house. I have over 1000 hours of experience in dog and cat sitting. I've sat for Tibetan Terriers, played tug-o-war with Italian Mastiffs, watched movies with Pit Bull mixes, rolled in the grass with Golden Retrievers , played tag with Labs and booped noses with Beagles. My current apartment does not allow dogs, so I thought this would be a great way to help folks out and get some doggos back in my life. I can match your pup's energy level and I'm comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. I work mornings Monday through Friday, so even on weekdays I'll have plenty of daylight time to go on walks and play in the yard. My present schedule is completely flexible, and I can even be with your pet 24 hours a day, if you let me know ahead of time. I'm happy to come give your lil guys the time and care they need. Building trust with a pet is so important, and I love the process of getting to know a new fuzzy friend at their own pace.

About: From dogs and cats to birds and rats, I’ve spent a majority of my life caring for all kinds of critters! In my personal, professional, and scholarly life I have worked with animals, both wild and domestic, and studied animal behavior. In these past few years, I have learned to care for pets with diabetes and seniors. I currently work full-time, but am free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to care for your furry friends! I have quite the active lifestyle and enjoy one or two hikes each weekend that I would love to bring a pup along with on! My after work ritual has always included a nice long walk and I’d love to help others by taking their pups with me! Having been around animals my whole life, I am committed to being the best pet sitter possible. I know how scary it can be to trust someone new with your pet and want to help give others the peace of mind that their baby is safe with me! I am very in tune with animal behavior and will always support your pet’s needs, whether that means giving them extra space, extra cuddles, or extra play time!

“Flexible and kind!”

About: I have had and cared for animals my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many others. I am reliable and also can be very flexible when needed. I have classes throughout the week but have time in between and before/after. I love getting out and walking as well as spending time with animals since I can’t have my own yet. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I also will ask questions to avoid problems.

About: I love all animals large and small . Hobby and helping others is what I want to do !!my kids are animal lovers too. We would love and enjoy tking care if others pets and getting to know other animals. I have grown up around animals from a very small age in the country. I would like my kids to have the same experience with animals as I have had and much much more. We are a very active family and love to go for hikes, jogs, swimming sessions and other places to visit and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. We would love to see any size and shape for animals makes for a challenge to experience every day and relax in the moment to see how others live.

“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!”

About: I've always been in a household that has had at least one dog growing up in California to my travels here to Oregon 9 years ago where I fell in love with the state and made a home here. I have had goldens and labs, and have taken care of a wide variety of sizes and shapes of pups, from the smallest pup to the sweet yet slobbery Mastiff. I currently have one dog who is my boyfriend's service dog, she is a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that is the calmest dog until you get her football out! Then the play never stops. Since she cannot go to work with him anymore, she would not mind a buddy to play with. We constantly take her for walks and runs and swims. Very dog friendly house I have afternoons open and available and almost every weekend! I love getting out and walking dogs around the neighborhood or taking them to a park I have a fenced in yard for Cammie or any dog to run around, go outside to take care of their needs, or chase a bird or squirrel! The high school field is right down the block that we can go to any time

About: I have taken care of dogs of many breeds. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to feed and care for their dogs. I have experience with little dogs and big dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs that need medication due to health issues. I currently work full time in the medical field. I am looking to make side money to save for nursing school. I love animals and would love to care for your animals. I have a fenced yard, I have two fur babies of my own that I care for that are super friendly. I will care for your pets as I do my own. I also have crates available if needed.

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.

“Colette was really kind and thoughtful! She came to meet our pets beforehand and make sure she understood all the responsibilities. She was flexible l, communicative, and caring, will definitely book with her again!”

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.

About: When I was younger I used to go door to door and offer dog walking services, I walked dogs from Beagles to Great Danes. Now I spend a lot of my time catching and taming feral kittens and finding them homes. I also frequently watch family members pets, in their home, while they are away. Currently I have cats, and reptiles. I did have a dog, but sadly he passed earlier this year. I love animals of all varieties and will be sure to take care of your furry/scaley/feathery buddy like they are my own. I am only working part time cleaning AirBnBs so I have a lot of availability to watch pets during the day, do pop in checks, and house sitting. I do have a toddler that would have to be present for night checks Monday-Thursday. I live in a small RV so I do not offer care services in my home. I feel that keeping the pet in their own environment can also help them have a better and less stressful time while you are away.

About: I’ve had animals of all kinds in my family since I was born. I’ve taken care of animals and helped watch and care for loved ones pets over the years. I’m currently a SAHM and looking for extra ways of generating income while doing things I love and things that are fulfilling! Very flexible and eager to help. Ready to help where is needed. I have many good references. I am trustworthy, kind, careful, communicative, and an all around animal lover! I can’t wait to meet yours.

“Jamie is absolutely the best!!! I would have her sit for our cats and our house again in a heartbeat. She is reliable, communicative, caring, leaves the house spotless, and I can tell that our cats were so much more comfortable upon our getting home from a trip having had her there.”
