Dog Sitting Philomath

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, and pet-sitting professionally for over 10 years now. I am particularly experienced and confident in caring for senior animals, pets needing medication, and those who are particularly shy or need that extra emotional consideration. You'll notice me take the extra time to get to know your pet and the nuances of their personality and needs. I offer animals the slowness and presence needed for deep listening and attunement: two qualities that help build trust. I am highly organized, detail-oriented, and good at communication. I'm used to planning my schedule and time around the needs of the animals I'm caring for, and am always ready to apply my extensive knowledge for unexpected situations that may arise. Some of my recent clients include a rowdy pack of 5 dogs of various size and breed, a senior cat with hyperthyroidism who switches her food preferences daily, a blind and deaf senior dog who loves to play, and a farm sanctuary with over 20 animals, including pigs rescued from a neglect situation and feral cats being socialized for the first time. If your animal needs a bit more time and care to feel comfortable around someone new, takes medication or is navigating ongoing health conditions, or is at higher likelihood of needing veterinarian intervention while you're away, these are situations where I have both experience and confidence. For me, animal care isn't just about completing all the tasks that need to be done for the well-being of our animal family members. It's about creating a relationship of trust with the animals relying on me, as well as their human guardians. Entrusting your beloved pet to another person, as well as opening your home to them, is something you deserve to feel secure and confident in. And your pet deserves to feel truly cared for, understood, and prioritized while you're away. With my years of experience both personally and professionally, and my special skills for medical and emotional complexity, I know I can provide a pet-care experience where trust flows in all directions. Pet-care is my main job (and joy) which I orient the rest of my living schedule around. I have lots of flexibility to form my schedule around your animal's needs. My most commonly booked form of pet-sitting is overnight care in the pet's home. This can put the pets at ease and lets them maintain their usual routines. Having years of experience with overnight stays, I am diligent and thorough when it comes to keeping your home and animal family safe: I always lock all doors and windows when I am away, unless given different instruction. I am always aware of closing doors and gates behind me so no pets can escape. I also offer visits / drop-ins throughout the day, and am consistent and timely in these visits.

I enjoy jogging so if you would like your dog to get a little more exercise than just a walk, I would be happy to accommodate! I’m also comfortable giving your pet medication if needed. I am able to do drop ins/walks in the morning, at lunch time, and in the afternoon/evening. I am college educated, dependable, responsible, and caring.

About: I've had dogs since I was three years old, I took care of my golden retriever in her senior years, and my current small dog when she was a puppy and well into her adult years. I've been lucky enough to cat-sit multiple times for family and friends. I've always loved feeding, walking, photographing, and playing with animals and I know that they love me too <3. I'm a part-time student in Oregon, so my schedule is flexible. I can see your pet anytime between classes and before or after school, or on weekends. I am happy to take care of your pet at either your house or mine, depending on you and your pet's needs. My apartment in Corvallis has an off-leash dog pen where I can watch your dog safely socialize with other dogs. When I'm in Colorado for break, I can see your pet at any time and I can take care of them at your house or my house with a fully fenced backyard and friendly small dog. When I'm watching your pet, I will make sure they are well taken care of being fed, given medicine, walked, and enriched to my best ability. I love to take pictures of your dear pet and send them to you so you know how well they are doing. I make sure to lock doors and clean up in your home.

About: Hi, my preferred name is Lee :) It can be hard to set yourself apart from others on this app, really we all just love animals, and sometimes people need help caring for their pets, we’re here for you! I understand how difficult it must be to entrust your pet’s wellbeing in the hands of a stranger, especially through an app with endless options, but I hope my quick introduction can help put your mind at ease. Please rest assured that I am literally the type of person that wouldn’t harm a fly, I actually do catch them and let them if I can. I’ve always felt a special connection to animals of all kinds, easily understanding body language and energy. I’ve cared for and loved many animals of my own including cats, dogs, fish, birds, rats, hamsters, and even a snake. I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for just about every farm animal in the book. As I have interacted and cared for a diverse group of animals I am experienced with and understanding of all temperaments and personalities. My main goal is to meet every pet where they’re at, and I would never blame an animal for how they’re feeling. In addition to caring for pets, I am an avid plant lover and could also care for your houseplants or garden if needed. Basically my whole life is animals, I’m in the pet care field and I work at an equine barn. I’m pretty flexible and eager to help where I can. Although I cannot board, I am happy to house sit. This usually includes walks for dogs, but I can also play with your cat, treat games for both, or offer enrichment to any animal in need. I always strive to meet the unique needs of each pet. Any pet I care for will receive the same tender love and care that I show my own.

About: I’m current an animal sciences student at OSU studying to become a dog trainer. I’ve worked with firefighting K-9 units in the past and have a huge interest in training search dogs. I’ve had a few clients previously with aggressive and/or elderly dogs and have extensive experience caring for both. With me currently being in college, any care for pets is based around my class schedule. I don’t currently own any pets however my roommate has 4. They own 3 reptiles and a cat which I help take care of while they’re away or busy with school themself. I take time to get to know the space and what the client is and isn't okay with. Depending on each client I will alter the care of their pets to fit their needs and expectations.

About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. I’ve spent years looking after neighbors’ dogs and cats, and caring for pets has honestly always been something I naturally gravitated toward. I have experience with all kinds of dogs — young puppies, senior dogs, huge breeds, tiny breeds, high-energy dogs, shy dogs, trained dogs, and dogs that still need a little patience and structure. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs because I understand every pet is different. I also love volunteering at my local humane shelter, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with a wide variety of dogs and temperaments. It’s something I genuinely enjoy because I love getting to know animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, patience, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always try to provide the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own animals. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, especially outside of classes since school is my main priority as an almost second-year student at Oregon State. I have reliable transportation, so I’m able to travel easily for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet care throughout the week. I care for pets and clients’ homes with a lot of respect, responsibility, and attention to detail. I always clean up after myself, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe mutual trust and respect are extremely important when caring for someone’s home and animals.

About: I'm a responsible person on every aspect of my life. I consider this characteristic to be fundamental for taking care of pets. Also, I love animals and do my best to understand their very own characters! I manage my own schedule, so I just need a couple of days before to organize my journey. I usually plan my week on Sunday. I believe every pet is unique and a good owners know their pets needs. I listen and follow instructions about the pets requirements and care.

“Lauren was awesome!! After adopting our newest pack member, my fiancé and I were nervous about leaving the dogs crated all day. Lauren did a pre-check of the yard to ward off squirrels, and let the dogs go potty without any issues! We are so relieved to have a reliable human to check on our doggos while we work all day. She even got our new guy, Memphis, into his crate without too much coaxing!!”
