Pet Sitting in 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.

“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!”

About: My dogs ARE my kids and never ask to borrow the car! I have had pets all my life. I grew up in a not so traditional house where we had practically a zoo! We had dozens of turtles, amphibians, cats, some birds, and lots of fish. One constant loved one we had in the house was a dog. My main job growing up was to care for, feed, walk (and love!) the family dog. I've taken these responsibilities into adulthood and have had always one furry friend, and currently my wife and I care for two. In the photos on my profile, you can meet my two little ones, Jack is the Chihuahua/terrier mix and Dolly, the Rat Terrier. They get all the love they deserve, multiple walks daily, fed an organic grain free diet, and of course obedience training with treats. When I'm anywhere and theres a dog around, I will want to ask if I can meet them. I have a really special place in my heart for ALL the babies! I am self employed through and though and am able to accomadate just about any schedule. I have a schedule with my own pups and know how important it is to maintain those habits. I also have a housemate and my wife to fill in if I'm unable to walk multiple times a day. I prioritize timing for pets and know they're completely dependent on me. You can expect that same level of care for your furry friends. Depending on you and your pets needs, I can walk, feed, have play time, and sit with your dog in your house. I'm able to stay with them, do drop ins, accommodate if your dog is crate trained, you name it. I know how having a new person in the home can be a little stressful for dogs, but I'll do what ever it takes to keep everyone calm, fed, and exercised. Each pet is a unique and so is how I care for them.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress while their owners are away. I’ve also helped reinforce basic training with puppies, such as leash walking and consistency with commands. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, not just watched. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners always feel at ease. I’m also patient and adaptable, which is especially important for nervous or older pets who may need extra time and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize being consistent and reliable for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I make sure to plan my day around each pet’s routine so they receive timely feedings, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also available for last-minute bookings when possible and committed to maintaining a dependable schedule that keeps pets comfortable and stress-free. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I stick closely to what they’re used to. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets at all times, making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and removing any potential hazards. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Lily is awesome! She takes great care of Shy and Shy loves her. I always know Shy is in good hands when Lily is watching her. Lily keeps me updated with pictures and texts. She's 100 percent reliable and professional. I highly recommend Lily and grateful to have her watch Shy.”

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even reptiles. I am currently training to become a dog groomer and I’m taking classes to get my vet tech certification. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable and happy with me. I am currently working part time so I have the availability to care for your animals without anything impeding my ability to keep a close eye on them. My house is a large space with a very large fenced in back yard. I have two dogs that are easy to get along with. I have animal gates I can secure if you’d prefer your pets to be separated from my two small pups. I have 3 bedrooms so I can even dedicate a room to just your animal so they have a private and comfortable space.

They also have access to free play in our secure fenced backyard and our ever updating, spacious dog room.

I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific care instructions. Fresh water is always available, and meals are provided according to their usual at-home schedule. Crates are available if needed for safety, rest, or familiarity, but I always prioritize each dog’s comfort and preferences. My goal is to create a calm, consistent, and positive environment where every pet feels secure and well cared for.

“Amazing job! Love how communicative she is. All my pets and plants look well taken care of while we were gone.”

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.

About: 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 try to be a cost effective sitter for those visiting the area. 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. I have a 6' fenced yard, plus a fenced and gated driveway. I keep my own animals separate to prevent any chance of squabbles. Pets will be kept inside with me, dogs will be given frequent potty trips outside while on leash.

About: There’s nothing I love more than animals! I have had and cared for them my entire life and have years of experience walking and feeding dogs, cats, and many other animals. I am reliable and can be flexible when needed. In my free time I volunteer at Greenhill animal shelter and have lots of experience with all types of dogs and their needs. I am currently a college student and have a pretty open schedule. I am always looking for ways to help out and love surrounding myself with animals. I am a very active person and love walking, hiking, trips to the beach, or just laying around keeping them company! I have classes and work but times vary for each. I follow rules and do everything that is asked, I leave everything as I came and pick up after myself. I ensure to always ask questions to avoid problems, better safe than sorry!

“First time having Alyssa drop in for my fur kids….she is fantastic!!!! Will definitely be requesting her services again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life! I’m a huge dog person and love to help out family and friends with their fur babies! I work in the restaurant service industry leaving myself with free time during the early parts of the day during the typical work week. My shifts are typically 6 hours maximum. I understand the importance of a happy pup, and will give your dogs the activity they need to stay happy and to get tuckered out. I’ve been housesitting for many years and am sure to be responsible in all areas!

About: I specialize in adoption and care of older dogs, letting them live out their years with dignity and respect. Whether you are camping, skiing or just out on an adventure you can't bring Fido, or you are working and your friend needs a midday visit, I would love to get your pal outside for some fresh air and exercise. Young and old furry pals will be happier with an extra walk or some special visits during the long day. If you are going away for any length of time, I am available as a trusted and calm presence in your home for your furry buddy to feel more comfortable in their own home space and routine. I'm happy to provide a safe, comfortable and fun place to stay in my home as well. I work weekdays and love spending the rest of my time with a dog pack. I am out walking my pack anyway, more are welcome. I have a senior dog at home, with a fenced yard, doggy door and dog friendly environment. They can roam as if at home or we can crate if wanted.

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: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and love animals! I started house sitting dogs about 10 years ago in Oregon. Nova is a golden retriever and she is a pretty low key and very good with all dogs, cats and children. I have experience with both rescue dogs and anxiety ridden dogs. I love to be outdoors so your furry friend will get plenty of exercise at a place of your comfort! I am excited to care for your pet for you :) I currently work a part time job and have flexibility for most days and times of the week. I have a little girl that does most everything with me and understand if arrangements need to be made to accomodate your pet’s comfortability around children. Just let me know. :) I have a fully fenced yard and our sweet Nova (golden retriever) to keep your pet entertained and engaged. We have a pretty laid back style in the home with dogs allowed on couches and beds. They have an abundance of dog beds in a few rooms too if that is more your preference.

“Jessica has proven herself again and again as a trusted partner and friend, to creature and human alike. She is an effective communicator and a steady hand that I trust implicitly. We have used her pet sitting many times and are so grateful to have her back whenever we have to be away from home.”

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 am an animal lover with many years of experience with cat and dog care. I have had rescue dogs and dealt with difficult breeds, large and small. I am comfortable with any animal with any temperament. I have experience with gentle training techniques and can support you in any effort regarding your animal's behavior if needed. I am always concerned with the utmost care of an animal and their safety and experience. I know every dog or cat is unique and have their own needs and am happy to accommodate them and you both feel safe and confident while your animal is in my care. I can provide excellent care to any animal. I have experience with whole food diets, and I can even do acupressure!
