Cat Sitting in Opal City

About: I've always had a huge heart for animals and taking care of things in general. I've taken care of my own animals since I was 8 or 9 years old and did 4H for 4 years. Family and friends always had me as there pet sitter because not only was I attentive and took good care of their animals, but I absolutely loved doing it! I'm up for any challenge and any type of animal and I promise to take excellent care of them. I have a couple cats of my own and am very close with my moms dogs who live next door! I am currently in school but taking online classes so I can take my schoolwork wherever I go! I am looking for a part-time job but don’t have one at the moment so I am very flexible with my time. I live in a small house by myself. It is part of a duplex that I share with my mom. She is aware that I will be watching peoples pets on the premises and we both own our own pets, so we are very aware of the risks such as pet hair and accidents. We share a fenced back yard that is pretty large. It is about a quarter of an acre. I have one cat and she is very friendly with other animals. I used to live on a farm with her so she is used to other furry friends.

“Josie was so good with our dogs. She came each day at the time agreed upon and our dogs absolutely loved her. She is wonderful and I highly recommend her.”

About: I have worked at stables, vet clinics and volunteered with rescues. I'm a "human" Nurse, but my skill set transfers easily to animals. Care, patience and tons of love. I am capable of administering medications, and skilled at special needs for dogs. I work M-Th 6-4. I am available for overnight stays, primarily on weekends! Overnights on weekdays are for animals that can be home alone during my work hours. I have lots of energy to engage and play! I do need to be able to leave periodically to check on my doggo at my own home and go out to eat, so no separation anxiety pets please. I have an escape artist dog at home. My senses are keen. I am always aware and would be the same for your pet/pets at your home. A watchful eye!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly adores both cats and dogs. Whether it’s energetic walks, belly rubs, or quiet lap time, I meet each pet right where they are. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, so I prioritize trust, patience, and lots of affection. I am available all days of the week between the hours of 8am -10pm I can be flexible. I can also work with your schedule as needed. I have a decently sized back yard which is fenced. I have two dogs of my own who are very well socialized.I can provide walks several times a day.

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!

“Our cats were well cared for and we appreciated the photo updates and responsiveness. They seemed comfortable and at ease when I returned. Would happily work with Annabelle again.”

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.

About: I have been around animals all of my life. I believe that a pet is a lifetime commitment; in fact my current cat, Kasey, is 17 years old and just as playful as she was a decade ago! Throughout the years I’ve interacted with and cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and I make it a priority to treat each one as if they were my very own. My 13 German Shepard recently crossed the rainbow bridge, so I would love to spend time with more pups! It will be my pleasure to make your beloved pets my new priorities! I am available when needed, I can work around what your needs are. I prefer to do drop-ins and walks during the late morning early afternoon I respect your home and will only attend to the needs of your pet while in your home. I will make sure that your pet is safe when walking them in your neighborhood.

About: I adore all animals and believe all animals deserve love and to be treated well. Walks are vital to that, even for reactive or aggressive dogs Early mornings or Late Afternoon. I work full time through the week. Any time Friday or Saturday will most likely work with my schedule. Dependent My pets come most places with me, dog dependent of course. I have one reactive dog who will likely not be brought around. Long walks appreciated

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years with experience with all types of breeds, age, and specific care needs! I provide detailed updates every couple hours to ensure you can rest assured knowing your babies are having fun with you are on your vacation! I can’t wait to love on your fur babies! I work around your schedule and pet’s routine. I provide a walk in morning (and evening if you would like)! I can give feedings as much as your pup requires during the day, along with medications. I have a fenced in yard and always monitor when my pups go outside to play! I pick up poop daily to make sure their environment is clean.

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.

“She took excellent care of my dogs and was so flexible when I had changes come up with my booking. She was kind, genuine, and followed my instructions of how best to care for my pups! I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life but professionally for about 3 years now on and off. My client is not only your dog/cat but you. I offer dogsitting, drop in visits, and dog walking. I make sure walks are long enough so that the dog gets enough time outside and except size but not too strenuous for smaller or older dogs. I have about 2 years of experience in taking care of pets in my neighborhood. My clients include large dogs (German Shepard, Black Lab), frogs, snakes and a bird, as well as my own four dogs back home ranging from chihuahua to black lab. I love to play and take care of animals, they’re more a friend than a pet. Animals tend to have a natural attraction towards me and my priority is to make sure they are happy and safe. I currently work part-time so I have space in my days for taking care of your pet! You can expect me to available most weekdays, Friday and Saturdays. Drop In Visits and Walks are the easiest to accept but still open to discussing overnight visits and making it work. I am in a pet friendly house with a gated area for play and bathroom use. When at the dogs home I make sure to consider what the owners are comfortable, as well as the dog, to ensure a great time.

About: I am a dog mom and I absolutely love animals! I have taken care of friends/families pets for over 10 Years. My pup is a 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix pup Bella Bean! She is great with other animals and people and truly loves everyone. We love to frequent the local dog park and go on walks and would be happy to bring your pup along during their stays! We overall love to spoil our dog and she is always looking for a playmate! I am currently unavailable on Mondays and Wednesdays due to childcare issues. I am available most other days and times for walks and drop in visits I have the most loving fur baby to keep your dog company! She loves other dogs and is very sweet and submissive and our house is already pup proof so that’s a plus!

“I felt confident Riley would feed and take care of my kitties. She notified me promptly when one cat was sick so we could adjust/change food. I would recommend her.”

About: I love animals of all kinds and offer exercise, love, treats, and snuggles. Your pup will be safe and having fun with me. I have always had dogs growing up, and currently have two adventurous girls (3.5 & 8). I’m available in the evenings and on and off during the day as I work from home, and love to go on adventures with my pup so yours would fit right in too! Hiking, walking, playing fetch, and swimming are fun activities that I like to take my dog on. I am strict, but always reward with treats and love when your dog is being good. I have a every dog friendly environment and would love to spend time with your pet. I especially love running, and would love to make sure your pup gets enough exercise! I have a dog door as well so pups can always go in and outside into our fenced yard if needed. I work from home and my job is super flexible, so it’s really easy to just pop out for a walk or play at the park. I love to take my dogs out in our yard and throw the ball for them. We also have a dog door so they can go in and out freely into our fenced front and back yard. Always with understanding and caution - every pup is different so I want to do what to takes to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe!

About: I have been dogsitting and dog walking for over 10 years, with experience from puppies, to mature senior dogs. My dog recently passed away, at the ripe old age of 12, so I am accustomed to accommodating elderly dog's needs. I love to run and hike, and having a dog come along is the best part of those activities! I am recent graduate with my MSW from Boise State and I am spending my summer in Central Oregon as I transition into a career job! I will be working part time (occasionally full time) at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp department, and would love to take your dog on outdoor adventures with me! I have my own vehicle that is well suited to transporting dogs to parks and trail networks. I can’t take dogs at my house, but would be happy to provide drop in visits and longer outings throughout the week. I will be working at the Bend Parks and Rec summer camp program, usually about 20-35 hours per week, so I might have some flexibility in my schedule. Currently I cannot care for pets at my home during this summer. I have my own vehicle and can visit homes to care for dogs in the central Oregon area.
