Cat Sitting in Rice Hill

“Abby did a great job for us!”

About: I grew up in a retirement community, walking dogs for friendly neighbors—it wasn’t just about the steps, it was about connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and personalities (yes, even the occasional rogue ferret). Now, our home buzzes with two lovable goofballs—a Dutch Shepherd and a Rottweiler mix—and I co-trained my wife’s service dogs, so I know firsthand the patience and dedication it takes. My approach? Simple respect. I don’t use force or fear—just calm communication, consistency, and a few strategic belly rubs. Every dog deserves to feel safe and understood; that’s a philosophy I bring to every walk, visit, or boarding stay. Life is unpredictable—work trips, busy schedules, or just needing an extra hand. I offer reliable, judgment-free care for every furry family member, no matter their size or quirks. Trust isn’t earned —it’s built, and I’d love to build that with you. My time is primarily spent taking care of my disabled wife and our son. My schedule revolves around my wifes medical appointments and needs. I'm very good at scheduling and meeting appointments so long as they aren't an immediate request. I have raised dogs from pups to our current senior dog. Staying on top of their health and well-being is important. Dogs have needs and deserve to be treated fair and with consideration.

“It’s always hard being away from your pet for a week. Alainnah kept us updated every day with pictures and information which we really appreciated. We came home to a healthy and happy cat. :) Alainnah also helped us out with other things like watering the garden! I can’t thank her enough and would totally recommend her as a pet sitter!”

About: I've had pets in the home since age 1, and have been helping to take care of them since I could walk. I've always loved animals, and began volunteering at animal shelters, walking, bathing, and feeding shelter dogs beginning at age 5. I have worked in the field of veterinary medicine since 2023, and have a working knowledge of many medical and behavioral issues. I am comfortable caring for cats and dogs of any size, administering medications, walking reactive dogs, and more. I am also trained in canine CPR and first aid, in case of emergencies. I'm currently working from home, with the ability to bring my work on the road, so I have the flexibility to accommodate the needs of each individual fur family! I currently provide services in the client's home only. I will ask for a rundown of of your pet's daily feeding/walking/play schedule, and do my best to make your fur baby feel at ease while under my care with lots of playtime, cuddles and love; and maintaining their usual routine while you're away!

About: Skilled in puppy training, senior dog care, and administering oral medication. I'd love to engage a playtime with dogs, get some regular exercise time together and provide a stress-free environment to ensure every pup feels safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, ensuring dogs get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, or cuddle time, I prioritize their well-being. I tailor my schedule to fit each pet’s needs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring they receive regular walks, meals, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or theirs, I offer personalized care, playtime, and companionship to keep pets happy and healthy.

“Samantha was a quick study, efficient, kind, and was able to touch my skittish cat at first meeting! I was so worried but she took my worries away and was so happy to get her reassuring words and pic while I was away. I was also happy to learn Sam is a local which provided even more assurance and even though I live a ways out she was willing to travel to me where others I contacted all said I was out of their area. I really liked her and my kitty Jack did as well, straightforward and got the job done. Thanks Sam, you were a life saver!”

About: I love all animals large and small . Hobby and helping others is what I want to do !!my kids are animal lovers too. We would love and enjoy tking care if others pets and getting to know other animals. I have grown up around animals from a very small age in the country. I would like my kids to have the same experience with animals as I have had and much much more. We are a very active family and love to go for hikes, jogs, swimming sessions and other places to visit and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. We would love to see any size and shape for animals makes for a challenge to experience every day and relax in the moment to see how others live.

“Hannah was very communicative and attentive. We felt great knowing she was taking care of our cats and she was happy to bring in the mail and keep our plants watered while we were away. We'll be booking her again, for sure!”

About: Ever since I was a baby, I have had a minimum of three pets in the house. As of right now, my family has three dogs, two cats, two goats, five ducks, and will be getting two little lambs to join our family in this coming month! I adore animals and love to just hang out and provide some love to them. I am 100% what you would call an animal person and I know how to care and support your pets. I’m at home right now after just finishing up my first year of college, and as I’m continuing to be a full time (online) student, I’m looking for a way where I can still make money but not be drowning in work. On top of that, I think being payed to hang out and love pets is one of the best jobs I could ever get :) I make sure that pets are safe and cared for at all times. As someone who loves animals, my top priority is making sure pets aren’t stressed out or scared in their environment. I would make sure that the home is loving and structured to make the pets comfortable.

About: I've always been in a household that has had at least one dog growing up in California to my travels here to Oregon 9 years ago where I fell in love with the state and made a home here. I have had goldens and labs, and have taken care of a wide variety of sizes and shapes of pups, from the smallest pup to the sweet yet slobbery Mastiff. I currently have one dog who is my boyfriend's service dog, she is a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever that is the calmest dog until you get her football out! Then the play never stops. Since she cannot go to work with him anymore, she would not mind a buddy to play with. We constantly take her for walks and runs and swims. Very dog friendly house I have afternoons open and available and almost every weekend! I love getting out and walking dogs around the neighborhood or taking them to a park I have a fenced in yard for Cammie or any dog to run around, go outside to take care of their needs, or chase a bird or squirrel! The high school field is right down the block that we can go to any time

“Nikki was great with our pets. Very prompt and sent us lots of notes and pictures. Would definitely book her again. Thanks Nikki”

“Natalie was wonderful. Great communication. Punctual. Our kitties loved having her visit while we were gone for a week. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”

I am almost always available in the evening. I provide my pets with the food and water they need, bathe and groom them regularly, go on walks and to the dog park and they are maintained with their vaccinations.

As a pet enthusiast, I dedicate ample time and attention to nurture and care for our furry companions. Each morning, I wake up eager to tend to their needs, starting with feeding and providing fresh water. Throughout the day, I incorporate playtime and interactive sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. During midday lulls, I set aside moments to engage in bonding activities, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. Evenings are dedicated to additional play, grooming, and relaxation, allowing our pets to unwind. By creating a structured routine, I maintain consistency in their care, which in turn fosters a strong and trusting relationship with our beloved pets.

“Nicole was the first person we've had watch our dog, and wow did we pick the right person. Not only were there no issues with her checking in when scheduled, she went above and beyond to play with, take care of, and love on our dog. She is a genuine animal lover so if you want your pet not only well taken care of, but also loved while you're away, I can't recommend Nicole enough! Nicole also sent updates daily as requested along with lots of great photos and even a few videos! For my wife and I, these were wonderful and really put us at ease about the well-being of our dog while we were gone.”

About: Hello, my name is Virginia, I go by Gin. I am a dog momma to a 5 year old Great Dane. She is pretty much my whole world. I volunteered at the Willamette Valley Humane Society for nearly 3 years walking dogs, reading to dogs, comforting, feeding and cleaning up after so many precious dogs. Volunteer work takes a toll emotionally as some of you might know. I love animals in general but I just have a very special place in my heart for dogs. I am available anytime for dog walks or drop in visits to feed and water. I also can provide some play time on site if you have a fenced yard. My dog is well behaved and knows most commands. She loves to snuggle and be close to her humans. I treat her very much like I would a human.

About: I have decades of pet care experience with visits, overnight care, nearly two decades of employed veterinary experience as well as tons of experience with my own pets of course. 😉 I currently have two very silly Australian Shepherds who compete in a variety of events and have earned many titles - many others in the past with even more . I'm well versed in medication administration in cats and dogs (pills, liquids, injectables) as well as wound care and rehabilitation. I have extensive experience and knowledge in nutrition, behavior and reproductive services. I may be available for flight nannying as well depending on days/times. I have extensive puppy development/training as well as senior care experience. Basically, if you need help with something pet related, I can probably help you! Just ask! 💜💚 Currently my time is divided between kiddo and pet activities so I am able to add in caring for other pets as needed. Please let me know what your needs are as I may be able to switch something around to accommodate your pet! 💜 Currently I am not doing care within my own home but I am cautious about disease transmission (ask me about my show protocols!) and safety is above and beyond my concern. For walks outside, dogs are exclusively leashed on no slip collars/leashes to prevent escapees and are setup prior to heading out the door. If transportation is needed, I exclusively utilize crash tested safety harnesses or crash tested kennels. Dogs or cats are never loose with transportation.

About: Hello my name is Brenden, I have have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I am open to caring for any breed of any description and any instructions accompanied with I will be sure to follow with the utmost care. Many friends, family members and neighbors have trusted me with caring for all kinds of breeds from chihuahuas and kittens to Great Danes and Saint Bernards. My schedule is quite flexible as well, I wouldn’t mind doing any chores you may need help with and I am glad to take care of your furry friend as if they were my own. Please contact me with any questions or concerns, I would be happy to answer them. Thank you for your consideration. I currently have a very flexible schedule, though I am unable to board your pet I am more than willing to stay with them while you’re away, go on daily walks, play, and meet any additional needs that your pet may have. I am always very careful in terms of safety and security of the home and during walks, I always maintain an open line of communication for any questions, updates or concerns you may have.

About: I have been a lover of animals my entire life. When I was a child I wanted to be a veterinarian and the first chapter book I remember reading was James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small. You would be hard pressed to find a childhood photo of me without a critter of some sort. Also as a weird little kid, I would hold funerals for the flies who had passed on in the window seals (an over abundance of empathy is probably my strongest albeit sometimes annoying trait 😂)! Animals make this world a beautiful place and I promise to show your babies the care and love the deserve. I am available evenings for drop ins and because I work in schools, I am available most holiday breaks for longer periods to care for your pets. I have a sweet Siamese boy at home who unfortunately doesn’t appreciate other animals as much as I do, so I would most likely not be providing care for other pets in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of many different kinds of since I was a kid, from horses, to chickens, to just cats and dogs, I’m comfortable and confident I can provide exemplarily care to your fur babies. I have just started fall term of college. I have all my classes strictly online. I can be very flexible with my availability as long as I’m not needed for more than a few hours at once. If pet sitting, I would be willing to bring my homework to your house if you’d prefer your pet have round the clock care. If pet sitting( in clients home) I would check on your animals regularly making sure they are fed and happy. I would love to hang out with them and give them all the attention they need to put them at ease while there parents are away 💗 For dog walking, I would be willing to exercise your dog as far and frequently as you would like. I love to walk and I would love a furry partner!
