About: Hi, I’m Jenni! I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved furry friends. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication skills, and a deep sense of responsibility, I’m here to ensure that your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. I have been taking care of pets for over 10 years, with always being the go to person to take care of friends, family, and neighbors pets when they are away. Over that time I have worked with a lot of different pets and I assure you I can handle it all! If they’re big or small, high energy or low, timid or confident, old or young, I’ve seen it all. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as if they were my own. I believe in open and transparent communication, so you’ll receive regular updates on your pets well-being while you’re away. Whether it’s ensuring they get their medications, exercise, or cuddle time, I’m committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy. I do pet sitting full time, so I’m well equipped to maintain your pets usual schedule.

Just let me know what times/days you need and I’m happy to help accommodate! With my schedule being so open, I’m able to put dedicated time into your pets needs. Whatever requests you need or want me to accommodate please don’t hesitate to ask!

“Robert was a joy to work with! He was very kind and attentive to everything, setting up a meet and greet prior and giving the walk a small test, while listening to my lengthy info about my pup 😂 He also sent descriptive updates with pictures! I will definitely be rebooking Robert in the future. Thank you, Robert!”


“Maddie is great! My dog needs a little extra and she is very patient and kind with her. Annabelle is always excited to see her and she gets a great walk everyday. With my busy schedule it's been a lifesaver!”


“Maja is very communicative and responsible! She’s also so caring with our pup. We have a large (and rowdy!) boxer-pit mix, and she’s so great with him. She’s calm, and knows how to handle high energy dogs. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and has a knack with them. 10/10 recommend!!!”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to grow up around animals my whole life. I have experience with training them to do tricks, bathing, feeding, playing, and of course cuddling. I have two chihuahuas back at home with my parents and a two year old kitten here with me! My kitty Stormi, has multiple health conditions that I’ve been tending to since adopting her. One of my chihuahuas at home has to wear a diaper and the other is elderly and is given medication daily, so I have a wide range of experience with taking extra special care of our pets. I have lots of experience taking care of my own animals and others, as I used to pet sit frequently in highschool and am currently volunteering at PetSmart! Needless to say, I think any time spent around animals is time well spent. I’m currently working at University of Oregon’s Neuroscience Institute, creating programs and workshops for the students to better their well-being and happiness! I typically work 4-6 hours per shift, about 3-5 days a week. Because of this, we need to have met up and confirmed our booking with at least 2 weeks before I’ll be watching your little baby. That way I can rearrange my schedule to best suit them and their schedule! I care for my cat by making sure to play with her as much as possible. Feed her at a consistent time everyday. I give her a bath about every two weeks. I used to clean her litter box everyday, but recently invested in an electric littler box that self cleans (woohoo)! As far as taking care of your baby, I’m extremely detail oriented and good at following directions. I can follow whatever care instructions you’d like me to, to make sure your pet is sticking to their schedule, getting enough play time, outside time, and of course love. I also will make sure to send you lots of updates of what we get up to as well as many pictures so you feel like you’re still with them!

“Naiomi rocks. She even walked my boy during a severe rainstorm. They were both soaked. My dog usually doesnt want to be in the rain, but as soon as he saw her he was totally ready to go! He loves his new friend.”


“Amelia did such a great job. We have been out of town for a while and both our parents are too old to walk our dog. Amelia was able to let herself into our house and get our puppy ready for her walk. It was so awesome to be able to trust her to take care of our baby. Thanks so much Amelia!”


“Julia was super kind and understanding of my complicated dogs. She seemed knowledgeable and like she cared. She listened very well to all my needs and worked hard to accommodate.”


“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”

About: I’m 28 years old and a lifelong animal lover with years of experience on Rover. Growing up, my mom rescued animals, which gave me hands-on experience caring for all kinds of pets. Over the years, I’ve worked for Wag, fostered animals, and shared my home with some amazing furry friends—including my late cat, Kenny, and my sweet Shih Tzu, Bella. Now, I have Darcy, my adorable pup, and I can’t wait to welcome your pets into my home! I know that every pet is unique, so if you’d like to discuss custom rates or specific needs, feel free to message me! I’m happy to adjust as long as it’s reasonable. Looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Got it! Here’s a concise, 25+ word response for Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, so I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and providing companionship throughout the day. When I go to a clients home I basically fill in as the role of mom and dad, keeping to the fur baby’s schedule the the best of my ability! Depending on the dogs personality it looks a lot like a conversation you’d have with a toddler for the most part haha! just a lot of me going “oh my gosh hi!! what’s up? what do you need?” lmao

“Love receiving the walking updates & photos. Alisa’s service is terrific. She’s so personable and becomes your dog’s friend. We’ll definitely rebook with her.”

About: I live with four cats, each with their own unique personality—and I care for every pet I meet the same way: as an individual with their own needs, preferences, and quirks. I’ve also had several dogs in my life who’ve been my closest companions, and I bring that same deep sense of connection to every animal I care for. By day, I design enrichment tools that support instinctual behavior and emotional well-being, so whether it’s a cat who needs calm presence or a dog who thrives on routine and affection, your pet will be seen, respected, and gently supported while you’re away. I work from home and my availability is very flexible. I love early morning walks, midday check-ins, and some evening play time - whatever works for you and your pet! My focus is always on creating a sense of safety, calm, and trust for your pet. At home, I honor their routines and body language, offering companionship and gentle enrichment without disrupting their sense of place. In unfamiliar environments, I stay grounded and attuned—minimizing stress, adjusting to their comfort level, and always moving at their pace. I’m thoughtful about creating positive, low-pressure experiences that help them feel secure. To me, safety is more than supervision—it’s a feeling. One built through trust, consistency, and deep respect.

About: I am familiar with dogs of all breeds. I am very intuitive to dogs. I have walked up to three dogs at once. I would be interested in taking your dog or dogs to dog parks and etc. My schedule is pretty open. My dog is getting older and can't do so much any more. I am looking for personal exercise and income. I I live in an apartment. I walk my dog 2-3 times a day on a normal day plus I try to take him to the park twice a week.

She is willing to help others including me when I had major surgery last year.
