About: Besides being an all around animal lover, I have 13 years of animal experience! From fostering, to having many fur babies of my own, I can guarantee the top quality and dedication to your pet! I work part-time, so I have tons of availability to take care of your pet! Weekends are typically free as well as during the week at certain times! In order to ensure top quality, I prioritize the care of my pets. Through active play sessions, walking times, and quality time. I am extremely adaptable to whatever care needs your pet requires!
About: Hello and welcome, My name is Nicole. I am an animal lover and not afraid to get down, dirty and covered in hair to give your pet the love and attention they need. I enjoy the slobbery kisses and cuddles as well. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and would treat your babies like my own. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens and elders. As well as rodents, reptiles, fish and sugar gliders. I enjoy cuddling and carrying on conversations with them and your pets will feel comfortable, at ease and right at home with me. I am kind, patient and compassionate. Enjoy exercise and would love to get your dog some if needed! I am a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to meet all your pets needs. I’m an early riser if you need your dog walked before it gets to hot out, and with my adaptable schedule it allows me to let your pets out for midday bathroom breaks, walks or simply cuddles and attention /love. My two dogs and 2 cats are well socialized and would love to meet your animals! I do have a fenced back yard and huge open fenced field for dogs to run in across the street if needed. I love going on daily walks and runs with my own dog and yours would come along.
“Excellent job! She was very responsible and communicative. Our dog and cat were very comfortable with Devon. She asked questions and confirmed details when necessary. She gave us updates with photos of happy pets. She even washed her linens and remade the bed! I would definitely hire Devon again.”
“We are very impressed with the care Christine gave the boys. She is very knowledgeable and patient which helped with my senior dog l who is a picky eater and the young pup who is not immediately everyone's best friend. Also, I appreciate how available she was on short notice because life for us is often hard to plan so far in advance. Absolutely planning to use Christine again soon.”
About: I am organized and clean, as well as having experience caring for senior dogs. I have been around pets my entire life and love to get to know new animals. I am about to start graduate school and will have plenty of time on evenings and weekends to play with your pet. I already go on walks every night after dinner and could also incorporate morning walks if desired. I love to take animals on walks and hikes, as well as hearing about their favorite toys and ways to play. Please let me know what your pet enjoys!
“So grateful to have found Courtney! We can now leave town knowing our fur babies our in loving and highly competent hands. Quick to respond and the cute pictures/videos she sent were much appreciated. Our pets loved her, even our shy cat who always hides from new people couldn’t resist getting some love from pet whisperer Courtney.”
“This was either the 3rd or 4th time Scott has taken care of my animals while I've been away. He did a great job as usual and dealt with an intense accident (provided good communication and care). Highly recommend.”
About: Animals aren’t just pets, they’re family. With a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring calm, confidence, and genuine love to every visit. Whether your pup needs a high-energy hike or your shy cat needs quiet company, I adapt to their unique needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat your pets (and your home) with the same care I give my own. Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch, your animals are in good hands! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as a college student. I have a flexible routine and I’m looking to earn extra money doing something I love. It’s a win-win! I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment in my home, with plenty of play, routine, and attention. When caring for pets in others’ homes, I follow their routines closely, keep in touch with updates, and treat their space with respect. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first.
“Hannah took wonderful care of my chihuahua and cat! My chihuahua is very particular about people and he absolutely adores her! She is my go to sitter. Thank you for making my fur babies feel loved and at home while we were away. 😊”
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

Regina C.
“Regina has been caring for my 13 year old cat and 3 year old 75-pound dog for over a year, usually a couple of times a month for one to three nights. She quickly learned their quirks, likes, and dislikes, and is wonderfully thoughtful about meeting their needs and keeping them engaged. My dog, who has a history of separation anxiety, is completely at ease with her and lights up whenever he sees her, even if it means we’re leaving. He’s a big, strong boy with plenty of energy (especially when squirrels are involved), and she handles him with skill and confidence. Gina is thorough in reviewing their care instructions, reaches out promptly with any questions, and always sends fun updates and photos while we’re away. I trust her completely with both pets and have total peace of mind knowing they’re in her care.”

She has an open communication style and will often send pics or texts to let me know how everyone is doing when I’m out of town.”

Kelsee G.
“Kelsee grew up with dogs in the house before heading off to the University of Oregon. She cared for all our dogs, 2 goldens and 3 labs during various years at the house. She was always willing to play with the dogs, let them sleep with her and of course, taking them out for a walk or some long hours of fetch. Kelsee has a big heart for her dogs and treats them as part of the family which of course they are. She never shyed away from taken care of them. Kelsee is a dog person, no doubt.”
