About: I’m a single, remote worker with no pets of my own that’s got many pets in my life who I love! I’ve done pet sitting on both coasts ranging from elderly pets like dogs and cats to your non traditional like birds, goats, chickens, and pigs. I offer personalized services for your beloved family members like reading out loud, tucking them in for bed, taking them on hikes, out for a pup cup, play time, dressing them, to watching their favorite shows. Let me love your babies and I’ll show you a happy loved one! I’m single, a work from home school counselor, and have no pets of my own so I’m flexible to come to your space to do let your pet out, do long check-ins, walks, play, to overnight or extended stays. During the school year (August to Mid-May), I take a break from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and finish by 4 to 4:30pm. If you have wireless internet, I can bring my work with me so you have peace of mind your loved one can stay in their own space and not have any stress of being moved around. In my home, I do my best to make them feel at home and comfortable. I can bring their beds, toys, etc into my space and have a great, walkable area for them to explore all the smells. I am above a garage with a small porch that I can block off and hang outside with them. I love to love on your babies and introduce them to my local family and friends, especially my online students. My place is not huge, but I’ve hosted small to larger pets like labradors. For my clients, I have dropped in for a period of time, done overnights, extended stays, and even traveled and taken care of multiple pets and some farm animals to help them feel at ease knowing their babies are being taken care of like plant watering, egg harvesting, to mail and package pickup. I love to be around animals and work hard to ensure they feel loved, cared for, and a bit spoiled!
About: Hello! I'm an experienced animal person with a passion for animal behavior, dog training, and puppy rearing. I got my first job dog-walking and pet-sitting around my neighborhood at age 10, and have been interested in dog psychology ever since. I'm here to make boarding your pet as stress-free as possible. I pride myself on being detail oriented and committed to my animals. I’d love to hear from you and see if we’d be a good fit. As a musician, I work part-time and spend most days working from home. I thrive on routine and can guarantee exercise and enrichment for your dog. I have a fenced yard, and a good sized home in a quiet neighborhood. I enjoy going for frequent walks and runs. Safety is a top priority for me, and I’m committed to noticing animal communication, behavior, and unique needs. Everyone involved will be safe while you’re away.
“Seemed like a great experience! Bingo got a walk AND a swim! First experience on River, so signed up for a full hour dog walk. The way Rover tracks it (with walking and driving all together) it’s hard to tell how much walking there was, but that’s no reflection on Marissa. She used great decision making choosing to take him for a dip and I really appreciate that🙏 I’m thrilled he got both activities! It was hot. He looked so happy with her!”
“Clare was available to walk my dog on short notice while I was in town for a family wedding. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable and was able to relax and enjoy the event knowing my dog was in good hands.”
About: My experience petsitting begun when I was very young, taking care of neighbors beloved pets. It helped me in understanding many different types of animals. In my adult years I was able to take those skills to people and pets I did not know as well. Each pet I have encountered has a different set of needs and expectations, to which I have worked on understanding. I am currently working part time for a non-profit so I have time to take care of higher need pets and ensure play time as well as facilitating other house needs. I have my own dog in my home, but because of roommates, I unfortunately cannot offer my home as a service for your pet needs.
About: I am very responsible and treat the animals as if they were my own. As an anxious pet owner myself, I know leaving them can be very hard. With me they’re in good hands. I am currently working part time 3 days a week but I live with my mom and she is retired so she fills in for me when needed to ensure that your pup is never left alone for very long :) I have a large fenced in backyard. I have experience with reactive dogs and dogs with separation anxiety. I can provide anything from walks to boarding to hang out time and have experience with giving medicine.
About: Hello, Friends. I'm an all around animal lover. Born on a farm in Oregon, I'm use to diverse animal behaviors and care. My services include dog walking and house and pet sitting. I also provide horse feed, walks, and other farm animal care while you're home or away. As an active person, and beach lover, your pet is always welcomed to have some outdoor fun with me and go for a run or some water time. I'm First-AID and CPR trained for dogs and other furry pets so you know your best buds will be in great care while they are with me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pet(s). My Schedule: I work from home part-time so my schedule is very flexible. My routine is based around the pets care and needs. I do attend dance every Tuesday and Thursday for two hours, so I will be away during the evening for two hours. Environment: I keep a very clean and safe environment for all pets in my home. I am always stocked with treats, toys and comfortable relaxing areas.
“Prudence did a great job walking our dog Harlowe. She was always in communication with us and really took care of harlowe. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to take care of your dog.”
About: For as long as I can remember there have been dogs in my life. My family had always had dogs and I have learned to take care of them from a young age. I have also been dog sitting for many years and have taken on many different duties that include walking, feeding, bathing, and even providing medicine and care for doggos with special needs. I am currently a student at Fordham University in New York City. I have classes 2 days a weeks and for 2 hours at a time. I am available for any services as long as I can provide them within my schedule. I am an easy going house guest and will always clean up after myself. I can easily do anything that’s needed for your pets and your home to make it as comfortable as possible for you and your pets.
“I’ve booked Kim as my new dog walker and so far so good. She’s easy to communicate with and every time I see a picture of my dog on a walk, he looks so happy...big doggy smiles. Thank you for taking care of my fur baby. Your pet is in good hands while in Kim’s care. :)”
“Rebecca went over and above coming a few days early to meet Kona and ask some questions about walking in our area. She was a solid communicator on game day and even sent a pic of the walk.”
About: I have trained puppies to be mobility service dogs from when they were eight weeks old to two years old. I have also lived with dogs for the past 17 years. I am highly proficient in training basic skills (sit, down, stay, heel) and well-versed in positive reinforcement and praise-based training methods. I also have experience with exercising dogs both physically and through mental enrichment. I am currently working a Wednesday to Sunday schedule and am generally available after 5 pm on those days. I have much more daytime availability Mondays and Tuesdays. I am happy to find appropriate walks for your pets of all ages and abilities in the area. I will make sure to meet your pet's physical and mental needs and communicate clearly and effectively.
About: I've been caring for dogs and homes for friends and family for years, and it's become something I truly enjoy. What started as helping out close friends has grown into a stream of referrals from satisfied homeowners who trust me to treat their pets like my own. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and always aim to keep your routine running smoothly. I know how much my friends love their pets and I know how much your pets mean to you. I currently work full time as a preschool teacher. But, I do have an hour break in the middle of the day giving me plenty of time to check up on your homes and pet/pets. I am home early. And open on weekends. I am open to providing any services that you desire but my usual responsibilities focus on feeding, walking, letting pets into yard if necessary, and taking care of basic house needs.
About: I love with a golden retriever but still love to take care of others to get my dog fix in. Dogs are my favorite animal and I would love to spend some time with yours while you’re away. I can run, walk, feed, throw balls or frisbees and give them lots of belly rubs. I am not a certified trainer but have experience training my old two labs and know how to train them. I will walk rain or shine and we will have so much fun. I’m excited to meet your puppies soon!!! I work full time but the fall and winter are pretty quiet for me. I am able to let dogs out during lunch, etc. I'm always happy to make some extra time to get outside with dogs too! Dogs will be kept in the house or on a leash unless we are in a fenced in area. The house is clean so there's nothing not too much trouble to get into!
About: I've had and lived with many dogs and volunteered with rabbits as well. Before moving to Oregon, I was also a volunteer at the Aquarium of the Pacific in southern CA for over 8 years and love animals of all kinds. I have a flexible scheduled where I work from home and can be available any day including over night pet / house sitting when needed. I live in a four bedroom home with my husband. Our dog passed away over two years ago and we've missed the company of a pet but our hearts are not yet healed. We hope caring for your pet might help heal our hearts to love another pet again.
About: My dedication to living a life of high integrity and authenticity reflects in my work and daily life which I’ll bring to every new client Currently looking for full or part time work this winter and would ideally like to fill that time helping people with their pets full time Will provide the best possible service to adhere to any clients needs/desires while providing a highly loving and caring environment wherever necessary for each pet
