Dog Sitting Philomath

About: I have been caring for animals in some capacity for as long as I can remember! Aside from my personal animals, I have provided pet care for friends & family, worked as a veterinary assistant, and am currently a second year veterinary student at the OSU CCVM. One of my beliefs is that each animal has a unique set of needs, both mental & physical, and as such I strive to adjust my approach to meet their individual needs to the best of my ability. I am a Fear Free certified professional. I am currently in school which runs approximately 8am to 4pm with an hour lunch break at noon. I will be able to offer one potty break throughout the day but can spend ample time with them during the evenings. At this time my services can only be offered where the pet resides. I am open to staying overnight, performing a few daily check-ins, or whatever will make the pet the most comfortable in your absence.

“Holy wow! I cannot say enough great things about Allyson! From the very first interaction she was communicative, friendly, and respectful. She took SUCH good care of my cats while I was away. It’s easy to see she really loves what she does. I would recommend Allyson for ANYtime you need some help with your pets!”

About: As a veterinary student and pet lover, I have nearly a decade of professional pet care experience and have cared for animals my entire life. I have experience working as an in-home pet sitter and as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility. I’ve cared for animals of all kinds, but I especially love dogs and cats. With my experience in veterinary medicine, I feel comfortable caring for old and sick pets that may require extra patience or expertise. I would love to care for your dogs and cats at any stage of their life! I am typically in class from 8-12 and 1-5, but that leaves me time for early morning, mid-afternoon, or evening drop-ins to take care of your pet! I would love to spend my spare time caring for your furry friends! I am available to watch animals in your home where they are able to feel the most comfortable and maintain their routines as much as possible. I have a car which allows me to reliably travel around town to care for your pets, and I am even happy to take your pup with me on some outdoor adventures if you'd like!

About: Since childhood I have been around dogs and have developed a passion for caring for and bonding with them. I have raised two dogs of my own from puppy-hood, one of whom is now a senior dog who requires a little extra care. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and when I am pet-sitting, I treat them with the same attention and care as if they were my own. I have a passion for bonding with animals and making them feel seen and comfortable. I have experience administering medicine and have mitigated many situations with potentially aggressive dogs. In the course of my career I have encountered many different dogs on different properties and always make it a priority to visit with them (if they allow it) and make them feel comfortable and non-threatened. I am a full-time student, but with half of my classes being online, I have room to focus on pet-sitting. Animals are my passion and I will make sure that your pets are a priority. I will ensure that ample time and attention is given to your fur babies. I seek to get as much information as possible about the best way to care for your pets so thet I can care for them properly. I offer drop-in care and house-sitting care, all of which is dependent on your needs and comfort level. As I am a guest in you and your pets' space, I ensure that your pets feel safe and have ample time to focus on walks or other activities.

“Kaitlin was an awesome petsitter for my kitty Dwayne! She gave me updates throughout the sitting and was very conscientious. I felt at ease while being away with her care of my kitty.”

About: I’ve grown up with pets of all sizes and am not afraid to try new things. I strive to provide the best care possible for you and your pets. I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday 8:30 AM to 5 PM in Salem but may be able to flex my hours if needed! I have weekends off and major holidays off as well. I currently have two guinea pigs that I provide constant care, enrichment and love for. I’m very serious about cleanliness and the safety of pets and those around the pets as well.

About: I’ve always had a large variety of pets my whole life and am always super excited to meet new animals and their unique personalities I work part time, and most of my shifts will be done by 2pm, leaving much of the afternoon and evening for visits with pets I am reliable, attentive, and good at providing personalized pet care in clients’ homes. I follow feeding schedules, am able to administer medication if instructed, and ensure pets feel comfortable and safe in familiar surroundings. I love playing with pets, and giving plenty of affection. I maintain a clean environment and can keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Brandy is great! She's easy to work with. She knows the way to doggies hearts! When I told my dog the "puppy fun lady" was coming she got all excited. Ha ha”

About: I have had animal experience since the beginning of high school when I worked as a kennel assistant walking, feeding, and caring for boarded and hospitalized animals. Currently I work as a veterinary assistant where I care for my patients and work with my team to effectively provide healthcare and support to both animals and their owners. In this role, I assist with medical procedures, monitor patients, and ensure their comfort while also communicating with clients to help them understand their pets' needs. I am a veterinary student at OSU CCVM so my daily schedule during the school year is quite full but am available during early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I live in a small apartment so I am unable to care for pets at my place but I have a reliable vehicle and am able to travel anywhere in the Corvallis area.

About: I have had pets, including dogs, cats, and rats, since I was 3 years old. I am a wildlife biologist by training, so I have experience caring for all sorts of animals. I have experience taking care of both my own and others' senior pets. I also have an adorable kitty of my own. I am available most evenings and weekends to take care of your pets. I am working a flexible hybrid in-office/telework schedule, so I have flexibility to care for your pets during the work day. I am happy to take care of your fur baby in your own home. I have my own transportation to get to your home, and in the very rare case of emergency to transport your pet to a vet. I interact with animals in a very calm manner as they get to know me.

“Super responsive and comfortable with cats!”

About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life. My father is a veterinarian and runs a vet clinic, and we’ve had animals in the house since I was born, so I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ve learned how to look after animals from taking care of my family’s and friend’s pets, and I have a veterinarian on call if anything were to go wrong. :) I am currently in the process of looking for a full-time or part-time job, so for the time being I am very available to watch after and take care of your pet. I will take care to listen to any and all specific care instructions you may have for your pet. I love playing with animals and taking them for walks, so if you have an active pet I will be happy to engage with them. My father is also a practicing veterinarian, so if anything were to go wrong I can call him to help sort out what to do.

About: I am a second year vet student. I have also been a vet assistant working with dogs and cats for a year. I have had cats all of my life and have done live-in pet sits for dogs. I am very active and love to exercise with other people's dogs. I have a soft spot for pets with special needs. I'm in school on the weekdays from about 9-5pm, with lunch in between. I am able to stay at the house and will spend time with your pet while studying. I do not have any regular commitments on the weekends. I will follow whatever routine you have in place for your pet to the best of my abilities so that they can adjust to a different caretaker easily.

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.

“Elly did a great job in a difficult situation. The extremely hot weather made our cat a bit difficult. Elly was right on top of things, sending her concerns about Winnie's ouchy behavior. We communicated frequently to find ways for Elly to make Winnie feel better in the heat. Daily pictures helped me see some of Winnie's issues. All was good due to Elly's good attention to details.”

“Kelsey is phenomenal and been a blessing to have with pet & housesitting. Our cat took to her immediately and I loved receiving all the pics sent during visits. Kelsey is professional, a stellar communicator, leaves the house clean, and fur-babies well taken care of. Highly recommend her services & would definately book her again! :)”

About: I have house sat for many days at a time for a few different people both in and out of Corvallis. All of the family’s also had dogs that I watched, fed (including medications, special food etc), played with, and walked! I make sure to clean up after myself and the pets (including cleaning food bowls, picking up after them in the yard etc)I make sure to send pictures and keep in touch with family’s about both their pets and houses! I know how sad it is to leave your pets behind for a trip so I try and make it feel like you have them right there with you and you know they are getting the best care:). I have had multiple pets in the past including cats, dogs( of multiple sizes) and the occasional reptile! Currently I have two adorable female cats named Luna and Kitty. I am currently a student at phagens beauty collage Monday through Friday! I would have time all weekend Friday through Sunday to dog walk, house sit, check in on pets, etc. I would also have availability in the afternoons Monday through Friday anytime after seven pm to dog walk :). I am unable to offer care for pets in my home at the moment because I am in an apartment with a few other people however that will be changing soon! I have two cats so any pets that are nice with cats would be allowed! In other people homes (which I have the most experience in) I would be able to feed, water, play with, walk, groom, and clean up after dogs or cats!

“Thor does a great job stopping by and checking on my cat! I made a mistake with some of the dates, and he was really nice and understanding about it. I will definitely keep using his services!”
