House Sitting in Reedsport

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs in my life since the day I was born, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My current dog, JD, has only deepened my love and understanding of how important patience, trust, and routine are for pets. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I also have a professional caregiving background, which has strengthened my reliability, attentiveness, and ability to stay calm in stressful situations. I’m comfortable following routines, giving medications when needed, and providing compassionate care to both people and animals. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, overnight care, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance while you’re away, I’ll care for them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for others has always been a big part of my life. Between raising and caring for animals throughout my life and my professional caregiving background, I’m very used to building my schedule around routines, consistency, attentiveness, and reliability. I enjoy incorporating walks, feeding routines, playtime, check-ins, and companionship into my day, and I’m comfortable adapting to different pets’ needs and energy levels. Since I value calm environments and structured care, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and less stressed while their owners are away. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and each pet’s personality and comfort level. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, affection, and calm companionship while also respecting the client’s space and instructions. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, senior, or routine-oriented pets and understand the importance of consistency and gentle care. I have a caregiving background, so I’m very attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring behavior changes, following detailed care instructions, and providing extra reassurance when needed. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, cared for, and loved while their owners have peace of mind.

“Eilar has taken great care of my critters and my home. I have an elderly dog with significant care needs and Eilar was able to keep up with that demanding routine. The animals were happy and healthy, and the house was clean. Eilar was responsible and was great at communicating while I was away. No complaints from me, highly recommend!”

“Absolutely wonderful! Larraine was very responsive from the get go and the communication kept flowing throughout the process and the trip. My pup(who can be super anxious) showed no signs of anxiety when we got home, just happiness. Great experience, highly recommend.”

“Abby was professional, friendly, and great with our dog! She sent photos and updates while we were gone. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we returned home - could t ask for better!”

Alissa G.

“Great communication! I would highly recommend Chenia to watch your pups. Very comfortable and good with our Sol. He liked her instantly and seemed very happy in the pictures sent throughout the weekend. She was very flexible and was a great sitter.”

About: I absolutely love dogs ! They truly are man’s best friend till the end. I have two dogs of my own , whom I love very much ! I have experience in dog sitting as well as dog walking and I am passionate about providing good care and excited to meet new pups! I fit pet care into my day/week routine because I have two dogs of my own. One is a pit bull and another is a boarder collie so to say they need care is an understatement. They have the upmost energy. I will play with them and wear them out so they get a good nights sleep. With that being said we walk, hike, run, go to the beach, play fetch , etc. as much as we can. I treat my puppies very kindly , if not they’re quite spoiled. 😉 I care very deeply about animals and I aim to help when I can !

About: My senior dog is constantly active which is surprising so I try and keep him as busy as possible. Some of the other older dogs I take my time with while taking them on walks. If they walk extremely slow. Other dogs tend to sniff everything which I have patience for. When a dog brings me a toy it’s an indicator for me to play with them. I work Monday through Friday so weekends are best. I take care of my own dog throughout the week with my significant other watching him on the weekends when I’m not home. I walk my dog multiple times a day knowing it’s a good way to keep him active. In my own home I watch my dog when he eats. He has 2 teeth when we adopted him so when he eats his food, I watch him very carefully. Anytime I’m not home I put on a YouTube video for dogs so he has some sound. When it comes to other animals I’ve watched, if it’s a full day I would prefer not to leave them alone. Taking them out multiple times a day and of course plenty of love!

“Rene was terrific with Reba. She made sure she was well exercised and took great care of her. Reba was so relaxed when she greeted me which means she was a very happy dog. Thank you Rene!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Hannah! She watched our dogs for two nights and took excellent care of them. Communication was great from start to finish (even if we did end up leaving later than planned) we received updates and felt completely at ease while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care! 🐾”

“Jeanne was wonderful with my dog Zoë, who is going blind. Although Zoë's been a bit more anxious with new people as her eyes deteriorate, she was open to Jeanne from the first moment they met and seems to have bonded deeply with her over the days I was gone. Jeanne was calm, extremely responsible, and loving; she didn't hesitate to take on the challenge of administering eyedrops and finding ways to elicit Zoë's love and trust. Thank you so much, Jeanne!!”

Marcia C.

“Would 100% recommend Candice. She spent a lot of time with our dog Maui and gave him lots of love and attention. House was in perfect condition when we returned. Its always a little nerve-racking leaving your home and pet in the hands of a stranger, but Candice is very friendly and kind and immediately calmed our nerves. Very responsive to messages and I would not hesitate to recommend her and hope to have her watch our little buddy again.”

About: I’ve owned animals all of my life as well as done pet sitting and housesitting for years. I’m currently signed up with Trusted Housesitters and have references there as well as from other private clients. I have experience taking care of all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to goats, chickens, and horses. I have a very flexible schedule as I own rental properties and can work remotely. I also do residential housekeeping, but my clients are flexible with their cleaning schedules as well. I can bring my dog to your home for doggy play dates or leave her home with the rest of her family if you prefer.
