Pet Sitting Pleasant Valley

About: We are gentle, caring, and experienced pet parents ready to welcome your pet(s) into our home. I (Alex) have been caring for pets of family and friends for well over a decade. I once worked at the WSU veterinary school and have experience volunteering at vet clinics and fostering. I have always been passionate about animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. My partner Dalton is a work from home dad to our three furbabies and one human baby. We have plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space for your pet(s) to roam. Whether they want to cuddle up on the couch with us, or prefer a quiet, secluded space of their own, we can accommodate your pet's needs. Our goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in our home. If you need drop-in visits or dog walking, I have availability for that too! Don't hesitate to reach out with questions. We value open, frequent communication and would love a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) to see if we are a good fit. I work night shift in healthcare- I have several days off in a row every other week which is when I would be available for pet sitting. This includes weekends and weekdays, as well as some holidays. My partner works from home full-time so is available to help out as needed. We have a large one story home with plenty of lounge spaces for your pet to get comfortable. We also have a large fully fenced, grassy backyard. Our two elderly dogs are good with other dogs, but we also have the ability to give your pet(s) their own gated off space, or crate, if needed.

“Again, thank you so much Tiana for taking care of our fur babies! It always makes our time away easier knowing that someone who cares is keeping our cats happy and safe. Happy New Year!”

“Kathleen was wonderful with our three cats. As per usual with cats, each is a little peculiar. Kathleen adjusted to each cat easily. Clearly an animal person! Made amazing progress with our shyest scaredy-est cat. The social one was spunky and happy when we got home thanks to Kathleen giving her the play and attention that she needed while we were gone. And the feral one got fed so he was happy too.”

“Melissa was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our cats and made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. She was attentive, reliable, communicative, and clearly went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“I had a great experience with Makenzie! She took wonderful care of my two cats with twice-daily visits while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I came home to two happy, relaxed cats. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had the privilege of caring for dogs for over a decade. I have experience administering medication, walking, cleaning and playing with puppies and middle age dogs. I am a full time artist with quite an open and flexible schedule. I am available during the day during the week and flexible during weekends. I love playing and spending time with my own cat, catering to her needs and spending time together. I have no issue crating other's dogs if asked.

“Emily was awesome! She even got our super shy cat to come out and play by the end of the week. We had construction going on at our house as well and she sent us a photo update which was unexpected and so nice! We wouldn't hesitate to work with Emily again when we leave town.”

About: I’m a serious plant guy and have over 130 of my own house plants. I also set up drip irrigation in my yard. I love cats and would be happy to stop in to check on them, clean their litter boxes and give them water. I am an early riser so taking care of animals in the morning and evening works great for me. I am available all days of the week unless I am out of town. I would be happy to water or feed your plants as well as ensure humidifiers are full. I am happy to let your cats in or out, feed them, provide fresh water and clean litter boxes. I would love the opportunity to play with your cat and ensure they have somewhere to scratch.

“Anna came for a meet and greet with me and Sunny. Everything went well. Anna stopped by a few days later to take my 8 month old goldendoodle outside for a potty break and to feed him dinner while I was at work. Anna was punctual, professional and provided me with awesome pictures of Sunny and an update text message of her visit. 10/10 recommend.”

“Melanie is wonderful! She’s excellent at communicating and took great care of my cat, so nice to get pictures every day when she dropped in to care for her.”

About: I work for a doggie daycare and dog walking company and I walk up to 10 dogs at a time by myself in all kinds of weather. In hot weather, I bring them to shaded parks. I use healthy treats for training and every dog improves, some dramatically. My business partner and I have given sick or injured dogs wagon rides on paved bike trails to get them fresh air and socialization with their friends. At the time of this writing, between the daycare and Rover, I have worked with 80 dogs. I am currently working full time on weekdays, but I’m available on weekends for dog walking, house sitting and drop-in visits. Dog walking is included with house sitting. I am available to pet sit in client’s homes and walk dogs. I am an avid hiker, so I would take them for walks and runs if appropriate. I double check to ensure harnesses are adjusted properly and comfortable. I use a dog walking belt to attach leashes to, keeping my hands free to pick up after them. If another dog passes, I distract my dogs by offering treats for sitting, staying and directing attention at me. I love taking them to play in parks or the yard, and give lots of love, head scratches and belly rubs! I take time to train so they will trust me and come to me when called. I use a happy, excited voice to encourage them to walk, and a calm, gentle voice when giving them a treat so they learn to take it gently from my hand. I even learned commands in Spanish to help a dog who understands that language best. In addition, I have earned online certificates in Dog Emotion and Cognition from Duke University and Animal Behavior and Welfare from the University of Edinburgh.

“Kena did a great job with my cat Merry and my wild bunnies. That was a bonus. My vacation was easier knowing that Kena would be there every day to check on Merry. I will definitely book her again.”

About: I’m the designated person my family asks to watch their pups. I have taken some training for dog that struggle with reactivity on walks through Oregon Humane Society. I have Saturdays and Sundays off. I work Monday-Fridays and work from home most days, but would definitely stay home if boarding your pup. If I leave the house for an hour I could crate your pup if you prefer, or I have a spare empty room they could stay in. Fully fenced backyard. Dogs are allowed on the couch and my bed if they are most comfortable there. Have lots of treats and toys for your pup to enjoy.

“Maya is friendly, thoughtful and communicative. She wrote detailed and entertaining reports about my wacky cat each day. Simone was in excellent hands. I would definitely book her again!”

“Lynden and Timothy did a great job taking care of my 2 bullies for the weekend. They also do drop in visits one day a week for me. They always take great care and send great photos as well.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, including my own pets as well as pets for friends and family. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family member. Every pet has their own unique personality, and I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm companion, I’ll provide personalized care based on their needs and routine. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and regular photo updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, secure, and at home while you’re away. I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I’m available before and after work on weekdays, as well as weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives reliable, attentive care and plenty of love during every visit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll always take the time to learn their personality, habits, and any special instructions before each visit. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and will keep everything clean, secure, and just as I found it. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Stayed extra long to make friends with my nervous orange tabby! Went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. Even had to play an impromptu game of hide and seek with him when he was hidden away. Truly appreciate how Karly really cared about my sensitive baby, Chonky. And jumped in when other care from a friend fell through. Thank you! Will definitely book again!”

Rachel L.

“Chelsea is an amazing sitter and I would recommend her to anyone looking for care. She’s thorough, kind, communicative and my dog loves her to pieces. I have a timid dog who needs some extra love, which Chelsea has bundles of. If you book with Chelsea, your pet will be cared for and happy. THANK YOU!!”
