Cat Sitting in Saint Joseph

About: PLEASE READ: I currently work in McMinnville so while I am able to pet sit, unless you live within 15 minutes of McMinnville, I will be unable to let animals out in the middle of the day. I've been caring for friends and family's pets for 6 years. I like keeping our furry friends on their schedule and company while loved ones are away. I'm comfortable giving medication and taking care of senior pets. I'm detail oriented and am happy to give status updated as needed. I'd love the chance to care for your pets like they were one of mine. I currently work full time so while I am able to pet sit and do walks, it would need to be close enough to do on my hour lunch break., Currently I prefer to care for pets at their own home, as I feel that being in the same environment helps being with a new person

“Couldn't be more pleased with Heavenly. She has treated my dad's dog with love and care, is consistent and reliable, and easy to communicate with.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life — with over 10 years of personal ownership and experience in dog sitting, walking, and training. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments — from laid-back seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m especially experienced with young or active dogs and love providing high-energy play, consistent routines, and plenty of cuddles. I’ve also trained dogs in basic obedience, hunting, and even service dog skills, so I’m comfortable reinforcing training while you’re away. I offer walking, feeding, crate training, medication administration, and overnight care — and I always tailor my approach to your dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pup needs a calm, consistent presence or someone to match their zoomies, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently on summer break! I’m available weekly for dog sitting (overnights or daytime care), dog walking, drop-ins, and more. House Sitting: Please keep in mind that I do not provide constant care at my listed rates. If you need constant care, please reach out to me about my rates. I have my own dog to care for, as well as walks and drop-ins for other clients throughout the day. I always make sure pets are not left alone longer than the agreed upon timeframe. But if you need constant care, I will make sure to block off the dates you need for your pet(s) only! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space and routine with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, walking routines, crate time, or medication needs—so your pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment. I’m also happy to continue any training or reinforcement you’ve already been working on, whether it’s basic commands, crate manners, or specific behavior routines. Consistency is key, and I always strive to keep your pet’s progress moving forward while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s day as normal and stress-free as possible, offering them love, play, and structure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’m tidy, responsible, and always make sure your home is just as you left it—or better. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

“Emma was so amazing with Loki! She did drop in visits for us over Christmas and did such a great job. Thank you again Emma!”

“Arianna was great with my dog, Greta! Greta is a dog who is used to walking where she wants. And Arianna was able to just roll with it. Much gratitude.”

About: I have had animals my whole life (birds, cats, dogs, etc.) and have always fed, walked, groomed, and made sure they had plenty of outside play time as well. I've taken care of family and friends animals as well taking care to follow any specific instructions they have. I've cared for puppies and kittens newly born as well. Currently my roommate has two cats and a small dog as well that I help out with when she's busy. I love animals with all my heart and would love to be chosen to care for yours! I work part time 3 days a week so I have plenty of time for play, walks, and getting to just hang out with your pet! I'm available for boarding fri-tue because I work 3 am on the days I do work. I will be getting a new work from home job soon so my availability will open up! My roommate has 2 cats and a doxen/corgi mix. On the days she works I feed them all in the morning and take her dog out to use the bathroom every few hours throughout the day and we love to go to the park! I feed them all dinner on days she needs it as well.

“Alisha took care of my golden retriever while I was away for a long weekend. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and gave me so much ease leaving my baby!! Very responsible and great with my dog! Highly recommend”

“I feel confident leaving my cats in Jaime’s care. They are shy cats, but she takes time to engage (if they are willing), and Jaime gives me daily feedback regarding their activity or pictures of them hiding.”

“We had a lovely experience with Britney! She came to our house to look after our two dogs for a very last minute trip we took. Even on short notice she was prompt to reply to us and came over same day! We were very happy with the attention and care she showed our dogs. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have grown up always having pets and each one of them impacted my life greatly! I also started pet sitting for my neighbors at a young age and have continued pet sitting ever since. I have hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, temperaments, and needs. I am also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once. Additionally, the past two years I lived with someone with a dog and watched him for her frequently when she was traveling. I am very comfortable living with someone else’s pet and capable of adapting my daily schedule to fit their needs. I am currently in grad school with a tight budget and cannot afford my own pet right now (despite wanting one SO bad), so I adore any opportunities I get to give some love to one. I always connect very quickly with any pets I meet and I know your dog(s)/cat(s) and I will get along great! I am also happy to care for any other pets you may have as I have experience with a wide range of pets and I really love all animals! (though if it’s a spider you may have to convince me) I am currently job and internship hunting while doing school work for my graduate school program, so my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to put towards pet care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions to keep their routine as normal as possible and minimize stress while you’re away. I want every pet I care for to feel secure and respected, so I pay close attention their cues when it comes to personal space and affection. That way, I can give them the right amount of attention to help them feel comfortable and loved. I also promise to treat your home with the same care and respect, keeping it clean and just as you left it.

“Erica was a life saver and was able to help care for my cats at a last minute request. She went above and beyond with her services and I am forever grateful 🙏🐾💕”

“Meghan was so sweet to my kitties. The litter was cleaned and the floor by the box was swept. Their water dish had been cleaned and filled, and their food bowls were washed. Meghan went above my expectations and I will DEFINITELY use her again. My kitties are my babies and it was hard to trust someone with them but Meghan exceeded my expectations.”

About: I have worked professionally with dogs for 5 years, and have had personal dogs my whole life. As such, I have experience working with dogs of all ages and breeds, including young puppies, dogs with behavioral struggles, and dogs with medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, and will do my best to accommodate every dog's unique needs. I am generally available all day Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays with some minor exceptions. I work full time at an animal sanctuary, so animal care is a major part of my everyday life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have many years working with animals, including those struggling with behavioral issues. I am experienced in reading animal body language to ensure the safety of everyone involved, and the animals safety and comfort are my top priority.

About: I've grown up around animals on a small family farm with sheep, chickens, dogs and cats. Animals have always been a priority in my life. I currently have cats, chickens and goats and I hate to admit it but I will always want more! Caring for pets both that are mine and others has been part of my life since I can remember. From helping birth lambs or caring for mamma cats in labor I've done close to it all when it comes to animal care. Animal behavior has become an interest in the last 8-10 years and I have worked to learn more about training and behaviors as it helps with their individualized needs. Making sure that your animals are not only comfortable but happy and safe while your away is my main goal. Pet care for my animals happens daily. I wake up and am set into the potty and feed schedule not only for my indoor animals but for my outdoor livestock pets as well. Animal care has been subconscious since a young age. I have always enjoyed seeing the happiness of animals and my schedule as of late has made that easier and easier to make a larger part of my life. My pets are spoiled, and yours will be too. Cuddles, loves, and butt scratches on demand in my care. Special instructions will be followed to ensure pet happiness and safety at all times.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Isamar and Caleb and ! They were incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and thorough in getting to know both of our labs. They took the time to ask great questions and really understand each dog’s needs. One of our labs has cerebellar hypoplasia, which affects his balance and ability to follow commands, and they handled him with so much patience, care, and compassion. It meant a lot to see how intentional they were—taking notes and making sure they understood how to support him safely and appropriately. They also sent frequent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were in great hands and genuinely cared for. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters!”

About: I have had animals much of my life and have always been a responsible caretaker. I enjoy the company, love and unwavering affection of animals and strive to provide that in return. I'm looking to further my skills by becoming a dog trainer as well. I'm currently working part-time allowing me the flexibility to walk, play and hang out with your pet(s). My availability is daily for walks and some drop in visits. Let's work together to find a plan that fits everyone's needs! I treat all animals and humans with dignity and respect. I honor the clients feelings and will do my very best to show the client their pet is in good hands. All animals will be cared for as if they are my own.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and grew up with hunting dogs and know how to train a dog for scent training and perform tasks. I currently have a Pit Bull Mix and Pug with two very different personalities. I’ve done plenty of house sitting with dogs for various people in the community and am furthering my education on animal behavior and dog training organizations. I have created my own personal Business “Groovy Dogs Training” for Yamco area and am using this platform to build some outreach. I’d love to get to know you and your dog and help benefit both your lives 💜 Tuesday -Saturday I work afternoon/evening so I am looking for Morning hours from 7:30-12:00 on those days Sunday- Tuesday I am available all hours and can even do late night checks. I always try to get a sense of what routine you and your dog do best with. Does your dog need to chill out before going on a walk I gotchu or needs to let out some energy with toy enrichment or fetch I can do that! Just let me know what works best for your fur baby or I can even help you when it comes to deciding that 💕

About: I have experience taking care of young energetic dogs, elderly ones, and I’ve taken care of dogs with disabilities. I grew up with cats, so I also have tons of experience with them too. I am a fulltime dog walker/ sitter, which gives me lots of availability. From early in the morning to evenings, I can be there for your pet. I'm flexible to your pets schedule! I can provide early morning walks around the neighborhood or take them to a local walking trail. Anything your pet needs, I can provide.

“Thank you Emily! Miss Bonnie was a very happy girl”

About: All my life I’ve been surrounded by dogs, and their company has always brought me so much joy. I truly believe everyone deserves the happiness a dog brings. I currently live with four cats, one of which is named Ricki — who honestly acts like a dog himself and loves going on walks and car rides. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, and dogs who experience seizures. I love taking pups on walks (weather permitting), going to dog parks so they can socialize, and giving them plenty of love and mental stimulation. I’m a strong believer in animal rights and I never take their trust for granted. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me. Rover is an amazing way to find someone you trust with your best friend, and I would love the chance to care for and look after your pet like they’re part of my family. I live right in town with a reliable car, which makes traveling to and from jobs easy. I currently work a couple of part-time jobs, but I’m able to schedule pet care around them with plenty of availability. I’m flexible, responsive, and able to make mid-day visits, morning/evening drop-ins, or full days depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in my home, I always keep the space clean, safe, and comfortable. I make sure animals have fresh water, the right amount of food, and a calm environment. Cats always have clean litter, and dogs get supervised outdoor time and structured care. In a client’s home, I follow all routines exactly as instructed and treat your space with respect. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.
