House Sitting Oakridge

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: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

About: I've raised my own dogs, cared for many friends animals, have a genuine respect for canines, and I couldn't think of a greater way to spend my time. I work from home, on my own schedule. I've recently lost a dog, and caring for others animals seems like a great way to meet my needs while helping in ways that make me happy I care for them very nicely. Open to hearing from pet owners whatever quirks or things I need to know, I'm all ears! I'm new to the service so I'm open to whatever your pet needs!

About: I’ve always had dogs around since I was a little kid & I’ve yet to meet one I didn’t like! I have a lot of free time and have spent much time dropping in on friends’ and family’s animals during work-hours for playtime, walks, potty breaks, playdates with my pooch, etc. I am a self-employed musician with usually way too much free time while others have to be at work- help me fill my schedule with walks, potty breaks, and playtime while you work, and housesitting when you travel! :) My current dog is a Dane-Lab mix with a ton of personality who is very social and could be requested for play dates. Having said this I am not intimidated by large breeds with puppy energy, I’ve seen it all! And I know how important proper situational control and planning is in ensuring dogs are safe and comfortable.

“One of the best dog sitters! She was so attentive to our pup, great communication, and our house was in perfect shape when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”

“We are 100% pleased/satisfied with Megan’s care of Dude. He weighs 100 lbs and will jump on people and get mouthy when he meets some people. He eventually calms down, but depending upon the person it can take awhile. Megan quickly got him under control. She was loving and was able to get him follow her commands. She happily came to meet him before her stay with him and easily walked him. We were very comfortable with him in her care. In addition she is a wonderful human being who is actively involved in her community. I enjoyed meeting and talking with her.”

About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!

“Maggie is an excellent pet sitter who genuinely cares for animals! Our pets loved her and she made us feel comfortable by sending updates and pics while we were away. Maggie communicates well and with clarity. She is reliable and professional. It is a gift to be able to go away and know that your fur babies are in great hands. We will definitely call on Maggie again!”

“Courtney was great with my puppy, Luna. Luna liked her the moment she met her and was sad to see her go. I am appreciative of the care she took of Luna and my home and grateful for her service.”

About: About Me Hi, I’m Emily! I’ve had dogs my entire life and quite frankly, I can’t imagine a home without them. I love them so much that if your pup is used to sleeping on the bed, I am more than happy to end up in a giant pile of dog cuddles at night! Of course, if they have strict kennel rules or sleep in their own space, I am incredibly respectful of maintaining your structure and boundaries. My Specialized Experience & Training Philosophy I don’t just watch "easy" dogs—I am deeply confident and experienced with large, powerful breeds and complex behavioral needs. My own rescue is an 80lb powerhouse who is highly reactive toward other animals, especially on walks. Navigating her world means I know exactly how to manage a strong dog under pressure, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings, and maintain absolute control to keep everyone safe. Because of my years spent training my own dog, I am highly comfortable working with a variety of training tools and structures. I am experienced with and confident utilizing prong collars and e-collars (shock collars) if your dog's current training regimen requires them. I firmly believe in consistency, so whatever rules, tools, or boundaries you have established at home are exactly what I will enforce while you're away. What I Offer Whether your dog needs a calm, highly structured environment, a patient handler who can handle a chaotic walk, or just a dedicated companion to watch scary movies with them on the couch, I’ve got you covered. Your pup’s safety, mental peace, and routine are my absolute highest priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I’m currently working full time as a mental health/drug and alcohol counselor. My schedule varies - I have weekends off and am typically available all day all night Friday - Saturdays, Sundays I have some home stuff/grocery shopping to take care of but will be able to drop in for visits or even stay some Sunday nights. My job is pretty self paced and mostly remote so I am able to adjust my schedule around my clients. If you're looking for someone who is highly organized and completely unflappable, my background is a perfect fit. I was a full-time nanny for years, successfully managing three young kids alongside all the household cooking, cleaning, and laundry. That experience gave me sharp common sense, an ability to learn complex routines quickly, and a deep respect for house rules. Whether your pets have a meticulous schedule or your home requires extra care, I can seamlessly jump right in—and I’ll gladly help keep the house clean and tidy while I'm there

“Lily did a great job taking care of our dog, Watson and our kitty, Holmes. She kept us up to date each day and sent us photos of our sweet fur babies. We left a very detailed (i.e., long) list of our needy, routine-oriented pets' peculiarities and she followed it perfectly. Everything was exactly like we left it. Thanks, Lily for helping us out--we were nervous using Rover for the first time, but you made it so easy.”

“Heather did an amazing job. My dog & cat where well looked after while I was gone for 9 days. Heather kept in touch with me, sent me pictures of my dog & cat texted me on how they are doing. I am very happy with Heather. I have no problems with using her again in the future.”

About: Hello! I now host doggy and other animal boarding in my own home! Going on vacation? Wanna leave the pup with someone safe and trusted? I have a Big yard and up to two professional dog caretakers at a time 😊 Let’s talk!… I grew up on a farm and have spent 23 years loving all animals, caring for pets, farm companions, and learning how to provide each unique critter with the love they deserve. In the pictures above, you’ll find several of my beloved pets, clients, and animals I have had the fortune of meeting! I believe a passion for helping animals has made me into a highly empathetic individual who has a keen eye for understanding details in animals, allowing me to provide care that puts your pet first. I try to go beyond the basic necessities to help animals feel safe, happy, enriched, and loved, in your absence. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, kittens and seniors. I display an intermediate level of training, including how to reinforce actions that benefit your companion, as well as steer away/de-escalate unwanted habits. I will always advocate for your pet, especially around other animals. Ample cuddles as well! Aside from cats and dogs, I especially enjoy caring for horses (feel free to inquire separately!), rodents, reptiles, chickens, and more. Available almost everyday/nights and open to all inquiries. Located in Eugene, Salem, and Portland. Questions? Shoot me a message! Communication is highly important to me and all messages will be responded to as quickly as I can. I strive to spend most of my days caring for pets and my doggy (or cat/other!) most of all. I provide personalized and loving care from Portland, or in your home, anywhere from Salem To Eugene! Shoot me a message anytime and I will reply promptly. Whether your fur baby is in my home or yours, overnights or walking, I ensure utmost respect, cleanliness, privacy, and respect. I will follow your schedule, directions and pet needs with great care for detail. Communication is highly important to me and all phone calls and messages will be responded to quickly. For all clients, I will setup a time for us to meet in person to get to know each other better, and for your pet to get to know me in a familiar environment prior to the first day of care!
