Cat Sitting in Ruch

“Lexy was amazing with our cat during her drop in visits! I appreciated that she actually took the time to sit down with her and spend some quality time with her during each visit. I also appreciated all of the photos. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Autumn is great, and highly recommended (but please don't keep her so busy we can't book her again!) She paid close attention to every detail when she came to get instructions from us, kept every agreement fully, and went out of her way to establish report with our VERY skittish kitty. :)”

“It is such a relief to know that there’s someone I can totally rely on to take care of my cats while I’m gone. Kelsey did a great job with all instructions, communication, and keeping my babies safe.”

“Dennis and Judy cared for my cat for a week. They spent time with her and entertained her. They sent pictures of my happy cat! I would definitely have them care for my cat again!”

About: I have a long history of watching and playing with lots of different pets. I have dog sat for multiple nights in a row for some of the biggest and smallest dog breeds. I live with 3 cats who differ in size and personalities and have lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience dealing with younger, more playful dogs and dogs who are on the older side. I am familiar dealing with medicines and special diets. I am a very clean person who loves animals, and animals love me! Let me take care of your lovable creatures 🙂🐈🐕 I am not in school currently, as I am in between going from community college to university but I do work. I typically work very early in the morning and my shifts are usually only 4 1/2 hours long so if I work a day I'm caring for your pet I will probably be back by the time they wake up and won't be gone for long! I have a very open schedule and can spend lots of time with your wonderful pets! I have a cat of my own I take care of and I help take care of 2 other cats, I have lived with dogs most my life but currently am not living with one. I understand the importance of schedules and playtime! I live with 3 cats and have lived with dogs my whole life, though currently I am not living with one. I know that feeding and keeping animals stimulated is very important to their health and happiness. I scoop litter, clean and vacuum, and clean pets almost every day. My clients I've had have had special diets and medications for pets so I am familiar with that, and I love a good walk!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love giving them the care and attention they need. Animals always brighten my day so it brings me great joy when I can return the favor. My schedule is wide open. I do other side gigs but I’m very flexible and can work around whatever time you or your pet needs me. My goal is for your home and your pets to look just like they did when you left. I will treat your home and your pets as if they were a friends/family members, which to me means respecting your privacy and giving your pet a warm, loving presence while you’re away.

“Kay is a wonderful communicator and took amazing care of our cat for 5 days. I feel very fortunate to have found someone who is so caring for our animal and our home. She is open to requests and will leave you and your furry friend in wonderful shape. Don’t hesitate to book her now!”

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 15, when I began volunteering at my local animal shelter, Friends of the Animals in Phoenix. During my time there, I worked exclusively in the feline section, where I cared for both elderly cats and young kittens. I have experience with bottle feeding, supporting cats with disabilities, administering medications, and applying ointments or other topical treatments. Over the years, I’ve had two cats of my own. My current cat lives with me and has a disability that I help manage day to day. Cats hold a very special place in my heart—befriending them has always felt like a natural gift, and I truly love building trust and connection with each one I meet. I currently care for a cat with disabilities—she has sensitive skin that requires daily management, and an overactive bladder that can cause occasional issues. I stay close to her most of the day to help ease her separation anxiety and keep her comfortable. When I was younger, my first cat struggled with obesity, and I took an active role in supporting her through a healthy diet and gentle exercise to improve her quality of life. I genuinely love spending time with cats, and that extends beyond my own—several neighborhood cats often hang around my home, and I happily care for them too. I have a disabled cat that i take care of. She has bad skin that i help her manage and she has an over active bladder that sometimes causes problems so i usually spend all day with her to ease her separation anxiety. And when i was younger my first cat was overweight and id spend my time helping her with her diet and exercise so she wouldnt suffer. I love spending time with cats too so i take care of the neighborhood cats that hang around my house. I can feed your cat, help administer medications or ointments. I can spend time with them, play with them. Clean their litterbox or give them a bath. I can clean up after them or aid in special care if the cat has a disability. I can also bottle feed and care for kittens that may have been abandoned by their mom or just help manage kittens and make sure they dont get into something they shouldnt. its all stuff ive done before both at home and volunteering.

About: I've cared for both cats and dogs since 2017, including walking dogs, feeding puppies and kittens, and looking after adult pets. I've helped dog sit with my aunts and have hands-on experience caring for my own two cats and three dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, gentle approach, and genuine love for animals of all ages. I'm comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, and giving extra care to pets that need it, whether they're energetic puppies or calm seniors. I work nights from 3:30 to 7:00 or 7:30 five days a week, with varying days off. I'm available for morning and afternoon visits before work, as well as late evenings and overnight care. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable care that fits around your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make their comfort and safety my top priority. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely to help your pet feel secure and cared for. I keep a calm, clean, and respectful environment, making sure they get plenty of attention, play, and love while you're away. I treat every pet like family and every home with care.

“Jordan has been wonderful about watching my ducks. It’s a somewhat unusual pet sitting request, but he adapted to it right away and always sends the cutest pictures. I feel confident leaving my duckies knowing Jordan is watching them.”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs nearly all my life. I have a chihuahua named Mae who I rescued as a 6-week-old puppy. Taking care of her for the past 7 years has been the greatest joy of my life. I love all animals and I’m very excited to take care of other dogs in need of care. I am gentle, attentive, perceptive, and extremely detailed and thorough. I won’t miss a thing! I’ve unfortunately had to help my pup through several health crises due to her chronic health conditions and I’m very familiar with emergency care. Being a rescue with behavioral issues, I am also very skilled at managing difficult behaviors such as food aggression. I look forward to supporting your fur baby! I am currently available for pet care any day, any time. I am new to Portland and still searching for full-time work. My only other priority is caring for my own dog as well. I am happy to care for your pets in your home, whether it’s a drop-in visit, a few hours, or an overnight stay. For overnight stays, I will also need to bring my chihuahua, who cooperates with dogs who are not aggressive towards her.

About: I have had a love for all animals since I was a little girl. I have either had a pet to care for or have been watching friends pets whenever the opportunity arises. I am a stay at home mom. I am available to check in on animals throughout the day or even take them for a walk! I like to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of whenever you are away. I want to make sure they have what they need.

About: my entire life I've grew up with animals that I have loved and taken care of. I'd be so excited to take care of someone else's pets. I have a schedule that is not consistent, I have a full time job. I always work weekends. But that doesn't mean I cant stop by and check on them throughout the day but I won't be able to spend full days with them unless I'm off. but I can be there as much as I'm needed through the night. unfortunately I can not board any pets in my home. The other residents wouldnt appreciate that including the territorial cat and bulldogs who like to guard the house

“Madi is very friendly, personable and professional. Being new to the area and leaving our 2 anxious cats for the first time, Madi was patient to coax them out of hiding, feed and and care for them during her twice daily visits. She gave us detailed updates and pictures which helped ease our worries. We will definitely hire her again with confidence that our pets will be in her caring hands!”

About: I grew up around dogs, cats, fish, etc. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and want to love on them as much as possible. I am currently in school and making my way into becoming an ultrasound tech. I have availability throughout the week, and some weekend days. I won’t always be able to stay overnight with pets, but I will be able to check on them multiple times. My cats are indoor, and we are vigilant about making sure their escape attempts are not successful. I keep their flea meds up to date, and do my very best to not get behind on them. They also always have a warm blanket, pillow, couch or bed to lounge on.

“He did great. Thanks for stopping in!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs. I have trained puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. Very well versed in all things dog related. I currently own my own business and work for myself. So my schedule can be open anytime to fit the needs of my clients schedule. I have a fenced yard on 7.5 acres. I have one very friendly bordoodle and two cats. I am also very aware of dogs needs and keep a good eye on them.

“Olivia was fantastic with our shy Kitty. Amazingly she came out and really liked Olivia on the first day!!!! We will ask for Olivia’s help again and are more than satisfied.”

“Diana watched our hound while we explored Oregon Caves. She was pleasant to work with and our dog loved her! We'd recommend Kiana to anyone.”

About: I have been caring for animals of ALL kinds since I was a small child. Animals seem to always gravitate towards me. I am a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. I have taken care of older ill dogs, so am more than capable of administering medications or even therapeutic massage. I never use any toxic chemicals in or around my home as I have two small children and am extremely health conscious. I hike a lot so if you have an energetic dog, they would surely fit in around here :) I currently am a stay at home mom so caretaking comes very naturally for me. Both my children are HUGE animal lovers as well and they have always had a dog in their lives so from an early age they learned the proper ways to care for and respect animals. Your pet would get lots of attention here without overwhelming the animal as there is complete respect of for space one needs at any given time. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of leg room. I have an extremely friendly borderdoodle and a playful kitty that I share space with. I love to walk in the woods, go to parks, and even walk around the neighborhood often. There is a park walkable distance so I frequently go there to let Bruno off leash so he can chase a ball. I maintain a clean home with only natural non toxic products and good old fashion vinegar water . I always have a huge stock of naturally healthy dog treats on deck as well. I currently work from home and stay home with my youngest daughter. So your pet will always be with someone and will have access to the yard at any time they need to go out. As well having a huge basket of dog toys to explore :) I have a fenced in yard and have 2 fur babies. One being canine the other a friendly feline. They are both extremely friendly. The animals are always allowed to roam freely throughout the house and backyard.
