About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I've been the primary caregiver for my dog for 8 years and my cat for 3 years, and I've also cared for birds, hamsters, and fish. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care and will treat your pets like my own. I work full time M-T and would be willing to do a later evening drop in, but have my Friday afternoons and weekends available any time! Your pet's safety is my top priority. As a pet owner, I understand that every animal has unique behaviors and needs. Having cared for dogs with a tendency to bolt, I am especially mindful around doors, gates, and leashes and always take extra precautions to prevent escapes. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home's rules, and provide a calm, secure environment while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind.

About: Hey there, nice to meet you! I'm Claire, and I've been doing petsitting for around 6 years. I really enjoy being able to spend time with pets and animals of all kinds, I find that it's very fulfilling and calming for me. Over the years I have cared for large and small dogs, cats, birds, and even baby goats! I also had some great pets in the past: a German shepherd who was super sweet, and ducks who had cute quacks and unique little personalities. Since I don't have pets currently (though I would love to one day), it's great to be able to help others out when they need care with their own! ❀ I have experience working longer term with senior dogs + dogs who require extra care, as well as experience with handling and administering medication as needed. ❀ I'm able to adapt to the needs of your pet, generally I am very detail oriented and I like to know how I can best care for them! ❀ I'm a recent grad, and my schedule is a lot more open these days! I'm looking to continue doing remote design work and different projects, and because of this I can be more adaptable to whatever you may need for your pet. ❀ I personally like having a detailed overview of what your pet needs and what their regular routine is, ie. how often they go out to the bathroom, go on walks, or feeding times. Also things like reactivity to other dogs, medication needs, or behaviors are all great to know about! Most importantly, It's my goal that your pet is safe and happy :)

About: Having grown up with both a Chihuahua and Australian Cattle Dogs, I am well-versed in dogs that need high-energy play time versus those that just need to get their zoomies out! I have taken care of senior dogs, including a miniature poodle and a long-haired Chihuahua. I am an animal lover who has to pet any dog or cat I see and have a genuine interest in caring for and loving your special furry friend 🐾 I am currently in-between jobs as I am studying for my LSAT for law school so my schedule is very flexible right now! I have a car and am able to drive so that is not a problem. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am very aware that I am a guest in the home and act accordingly. These days, privacy is important and I pride myself on protecting that for the client in addition to caring for the pet(s). When interacting with pet(s), I like to go at their pace in their home, respecting their boundaries, and gaining their trust. I am able to handle shy pets and wait for them to warm up as well as handle the rambunctious love bugs that want to snuggle!

About: I have grown up my entire life with all kinds of pets including cats, dogs, gerbils, fish, horses, and more and have always genuinely loved caring for animals. I especially have a soft spot for cats and dogs and I can't wait to meet your pets! When walking dogs I will be sure to take your pet on safe, engaging routes for them so they can get plenty of exercise. I will be sure to give them plenty of extra love and attention as well! I have many years of house and pet sitting experience and will take the time to follow all your specific directions. Whether its extra clean up around your home, specific pet bedtime routines, (I personally love giving my cat, Schmendrick special bedtime treats!) or anything else pertaining to excellent care for your home and pets, I am happy to provide it! I love taking pictures of animals and will take the time to send photos and frequent updates on how their doing while on our walks or while you're away. I understand and believe that all pets are family and I will absolutely treat yours as such!

About: I’ve spent my whole life around animals and feel a genuine draw and connection to them. I genuinely love to spend my time with animals and am happy to provide that as a service that both you and your pet can be happy with! I am a recently graduated college student just looking to fill my time with something that is fulfilling to me. I work full-time but each day looks different. I am happy to work with you to find a time and/or schedule that works for all of us! I will take time to protect and provide for all pets in a safe and gentle way! I have felt and been told my whole life that I have a special connection with animals and I think that translates in the ways I care for them with love and gentleness.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my hands-on experience raising and training my own dog from puppyhood. As the owner of a large Shepherd-Husky mix, I'm comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I've also cared for and walked dogs for neighbors over the years, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience, I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to provide attentive care, walks, and companionship. As a dog parent, I'm already spending my days caring for an active, energetic pup and understand the importance of exercise, enrichment, and routine. I love getting outside for walks and exploring local trails and parks when the weather is nice, but I'm just as happy spending quality time indoors with plenty of cuddles. Whether your dog prefers adventure or a cozy movie day on the couch, I'm happy to match their energy and needs. I treat every dog like they're part of the family! In my home, your pup will have access to a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. I share my home with my Shepherd-Husky mix, who loves making new friends and is always happy to have a buddy around. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, exploring all the exciting smells the outdoors has to offer, playing fetch, or curling up on the couch for a movie and some snuggles, I'm happy to match their vibe. I provide frequent potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, and can accommodate crate-trained dogs with an extra-large crate if needed. When caring for pets in your home, I believe you know your dog best. I'll follow your routines, preferences, and instructions closely to help keep your pup comfortable, happy, and stress-free while you're away. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.

“I recently got a puppy and booked an hour with Erica as part of his socialization process, to get him used to spending time with strangers. Erica and her daughter did an amazing job and I could tell Raider warmed up to both of them right away and felt very comfortable. It’s SO important for young puppies (especially giant breeds) to have positive experiences with new people. Thanks for helping to make sure I don’t wind up with a 120lb dog that’s afraid of people 🤣🖤Very much appreciated! 100% recommend”

About: I love animals!!! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and even horses for over 10 years. Choose me to care for your special little critter or critters, I’ll treat them like my own Most days I wake up early in the morning and let my cat inside and feed him and give him some love before I leave for school or lift. When I get back he’s usually waiting for me outside the door so we can hangout! After we’re done hanging out I clean his litter box and make sure he has his gourmet dinner that he has everyday. I take care of my cat spooky everyday by feeding him, cleaning his litter box often, deshedding him, and giving him lots of love and cuddles, and I can do the same for your critters. I care about the safety of your critters and will always be aware cautious of my surroundings while walking and taking care of them.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I cared for my senior dog for many years before he passed away at 15. I then rescued 2 dogs from shelters within 6 months of his passing. I’ve volunteered at fundraisers for shelters, connected my mom with her rescue and am an advocate for adopting animals. I tend to put my dogs first. I’m always making sure they’re comfortable. They probably have more blankets than I do. On a normal day, we wake up and go potty, eat breakfast, play and snuggle, go potty, repeat. We have a set time for dinner (about 6pm). When it’s dry outside we love to play ball and run around. I have a bigger property that is mostly fenced but I’m also used to having dogs on a leash. I can crate dogs if needed as long as a crate is provided. If possible, I take my dogs with me wherever I go. They love riding in the truck. I have lots of toys and lots of comfort items for snuggling and napping.

“Ariane was great with Penny, after introducing them I watched as they headed out for a walk and Ariane was very caring and allowed Penny to sniff, explore, and really enjoy her walk.”

Alexandra P.

“Stephen was absolutely amazing with Cosmo! From the moment they headed out, it was clear he was patient, attentive, and really understood Cosmo’s personality. He handled him confidently on the walk, kept him engaged, and made sure he was safe and happy the entire time. Cosmo came back relaxed and clearly well cared for. I truly appreciate Stephen’s professionalism and kindness he went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, fantastic dog walker.”

About: I've had experience with lots of animals, from Puppies to Snakes to Cows. I've helped birth Dogs, Lambs, Cows, Pigs, Goats, and much more. I'm almost always available to! (Same day bookings are alright!)💞 I've learned first aid when it comes to a good majority of animals that can be kept as pets, and I can also follow any care plan that is given to me, down to a T. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope I can give snuggles to your fur babies and be your next sitter!❤️ I'm currently not working and have the full day to go off whatever schedule you have created for your fur baby. I am usually able to change my schedule howevers needed to accommodate you! I have no yard, but I happily walk my dogs 4 times a day, sometimes 6 depending on their needs or your dog's needs. I am a sober individual that can pay attention and care for your family member the whole time with no problem. Thank you!

“Izabella took excellent care of our dog and provided great updates!”

About: Lucky enough to grow up on a farm, my family constantly was fostering pups from birth, senior dogs and raising our own! Responsibility was an extremely important value to learn growing up, since I was young Iv personally learned bottle feeding, administering oral medication and training for not only dogs but farm animals too! Between my two parents households and my own adulthood I have experienced raising pits, Staffordshire bull terriers, a German shepherd, a Great Pyrenees a Weimaraner and a springer spaniel plus temporarily fostering more breeds! Although iv had responsibility for many animals at once my love and gentle care was NEVER a second priority, I love my animals like children and I know how important they are to you too! Mon-wed I clean houses for 4-8 hours a day. There is always time in between houses perfect for a quick walk or check in. Fri -sun I’m a waitress and both jobs I’m always off and in newberg before 5 pm, perfect for over nights or evening play dates. As an early bird I’m always available before 8 am Mon-wed. Occasionally I have a weekday or a Saturday off where I can dedicate my whole day. With many years of home training experience I can ensure that strategic walking is in place to keep your dog close and manageable in public, I’m familiar with commands and trigger words and I don’t mind tricking your pup with a sweet treat if needed and requested ;) familiar with crating, pull collars and administering oral medication!

About: I am a local student, working on starting a career in animal care and looking for opportunities to work with all kinds of pups and pets. I have over a year of experience working as a Shift Manager a Doggtopia Doggie Daycare location, and have extensive experience socializing, training, and working with pups of all different sizes, shapes, and histories. I am also able to provide basic animal medical aid, some grooming, and dog socialization and training. I also have a variety of experiences working with shelters and the animals there, including cats and exotics. I am able to give care and enrichment to puppies and senior dogs alike, and attentive care to pups with special needs or medical issues. As most of my times studying is on my own time at the moment, my schedule can be extremely flexible to fit yours. I am available weekends and weekdays, any time after 10:00 am, but can accommodate earlier times if needed. At the moment my pup and I live in an apartment without a yard, so we do not offer boarding. However, while watching your pup I will take every opportunity to offer them exercise or enrichment, inside or out. I want to get to know both you and your pup so that I can your pet exactly the care they need. All the time they spend with me should be full of enrichment, excitement, and exercise! I believe that even walking a pup around the park or learning a new game is either an excellent learning opportunity for a new puppy, or a reason to get up an exercise for an older pup.

“Sveta was friendly and prompt. Jack came back smiling with his tongue hanging halfway to the ground. Mission accomplished ??”
