“Took care of my cats very well, kept me updated daily and always did daily tasks (filling up water, giving food, scooping box). Very easy to work and communicate with.”
“Friendly & straight forward communication, sent pics of the cutie while we were away which made my family so happy to see. Could tell our family doggo was being taking care of, getting loves & enjoying her time w/Erin while we were away. Will be referring her to others & booking again if possible!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, starting my journey at just 12 years old, walking dogs and pet sitting for neighbors. Over the years, my passion for animals grew into a profession, and for the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant. From managing health issues and ensuring proper exercise to offering endless love and attention, I provide care that goes above and beyond basic sitting. I have in-depth experience with administering medications, senior care, and specialized needs for puppies and kittens. As a passionate dog trainer, I’ve also successfully trained my own pup since he was just 4 months old, making him the well-behaved boy he is today. I'm currently completing my Bachelor's degree at Lane Community College. Because I am mostly online for school, other than Tuesday nights (6:00 pm - 9:00 pm), my schedule is flexible for you and your pets! I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pickup times, but please try to stick to the agreed-upon schedule, as changes may require rescheduling based on my availability that day. For recurring bookings, I do my best to maintain a consistent schedule. Occasionally, a day or time may need to be adjusted, especially during holiday months, and I’ll always provide advance notice whenever possible. For house sitting, I am not able to provide 24/7 constant care. I balance my own pets, family, work, school, loyal clients, and other commitments, so I focus on providing high-quality care during the times I’m available. Reasonable time limits for when I’m away can be arranged to ensure your pet’s routine and comfort are maintained. To keep my calendar updated and ensure I can continue receiving booking requests, please note: if you are requesting a sitting within one week, you’ll have 24 hours to respond before I archive the request. For bookings more than a week away, you’ll have 48 hours to respond before the request is archived. In my care, I strive to create a comfortable, stress-free environment for your pets, whether it’s in my home or yours. MEET & GREET: -During the initial meet & greet for boarding and doggy day care, you’re welcome inside my home to see where your pet(s) will be staying. After that, drop-offs and pickups happen from the car. This makes it easier and safer for me to introduce your pet(s) to my dog again, since pets often behave differently when their owner isn’t nearby. -The first meet & greet is complimentary. I require additional requested meet & greets to be booked as drop-ins. -To keep things on schedule, meet & greets are 30 minutes. IN YOUR HOME: -I follow their routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I monitor their health and behavior, give plenty of affection, and respect your space by keeping it clean and secure. IN MY HOME: -I provide a cozy, pet-friendly setting with structure, supervision, and love. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they’re cared for with the same level of love and expertise. I have a well-behaved, friendly 15lb rescue pup that would love to be your pet's next best friend. -For the first night, I usually have pups sleep in a kennel. From experience, pets can behave differently in a new environment, and kenneling provides a controlled and safe space to help them adjust. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s needs to ensure a comfortable and stress-free stay. Overall, my goal is to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and secure in any environment, while providing the expert care they need.
“Alexandra is a great pet sitter and I recommend her 100%!! She took wonderful care of my two young cats and I was able to relax while I was away, knowing they were in good hands. She was really communicative with me and I could see from the photos she sent me that she was able to win over the trust of my somewhat shy kitties. :) Couldn't have asked for a better sitter!”
“Mia was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond to take care of my two kitties! She was very communicative and always let me know if she was going to need to come over at a different time. The kitties seemed very comfortable with her and I will absolutely book with her again!”
“It was a quick and simple visit, but Caitlin went above and beyond to take care of my kitties. She spent time with them and even sent me pictures of them eating their food. Top notch sitter!”
“Sonia did a great job making sure my cat had food and water at her usual times! My cat is very shy and likes to hide. Sonia made sure Phyllis was OK by taking pictures of Phyllis in her favorite spot. Gave me peace of mind that my cat was healthy and doing fine while I was away.”
“Julia provided exceptional care for our dogs while we were out of town. She is very knowledgeable and responsive to their needs, both dogs being reactive on leash and Jac being blind and needing daily medication. We would recommend Julia and will be booking her services again!”
“Excellent! Trinity was very caring and I am impressed with her level of understanding, responsibility and compassion. She allowed me to enjoy my trip plus my cat loved her attention.”
“This was our first time using Kristine and she was great. She was able to help us out on short notice by adjusting her schedule. She responded quickly to our questions and communicated very well. Our normally reactive dog warmed up to her quickly thanks to her calm and secure presence. Kristine followed the details of our care request and we were very happy with the service she provided. We plan to call on her again.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is how attentive and patient I am with animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially gentle with nervous or shy pets and make sure they get plenty of reassurance, exercise, and affection at their own pace. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic care as instructed, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved in a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays, am mostly home and available on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and available Fridays until the evening. I work short weekend shifts but remain flexible for pet care before and after work. I live in an apartment with two cats and maintain a calm, clean, and safe environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, give pets plenty of attention, and adjust care based on their comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines, keep spaces tidy, and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: Hello, my name is Cassandra. I grew up in Alaska, where one of my main responsibilities was caring for our animals. Throughout my life we’ve had huskies, bulldogs, labs, cats, and even goats. I’ve always been surrounded by pets, and I truly love caring for them. This past December, I lost my best friend of 13 years, Chewy, to congestive heart failure. She had separation anxiety and required daily medication, so I’m very familiar with special needs and behavioral care. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, but I’ve been house sitting and pet-sitting for over 10 years in Alaska, and for the last five years I’ve also cared for my family’s pets here in Oregon. I don’t smoke and I don’t drink. I live in a small, cozy home in a great neighborhood with lots of places to walk dogs. I have no children and a small fenced backyard perfect for safe outdoor time. I’m the kind of sitter who loves snuggles. I’ll happily let your pets on the couch or even the bed unless you prefer otherwise. I know how important routines are, and I’m committed to keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and cared for just the way you do. I enjoy long walks, going to parks, and giving animals the attention they need. You can always count on me to be responsible, reliable, and compassionate. I truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your fur babies while working toward something meaningful. Thank you for considering me your pets will be in loving hands. I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity not to work elsewhere right now, which means I’m home full-time. Your fur baby will never be left alone—especially important if they have separation anxiety. I’m a very private, peaceful person, so it will just be me giving your pet constant attention and quality time in my quiet home. My goal is to make caring for animals my permanent, full-time work, and I would love the chance to care for yours. Routine is just as important for pets as it is for people. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your fur baby’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. Pets adjust so much better when they know what to expect, and I’m committed to maintaining that sense of stability. I have a small, quiet home with no children, a fenced backyard, and a neighborhood full of parks, sidewalks, and green spaces—perfect for walks and outdoor time. I always want animals to feel at home here, so they’re welcome on my furniture and bed as long as you’re comfortable with that.
“Jessica has proven herself again and again as a trusted partner and friend, to creature and human alike. She is an effective communicator and a steady hand that I trust implicitly. We have used her pet sitting many times and are so grateful to have her back whenever we have to be away from home.”

Maya did such a great job making sure my cat was cared for while I was away! She also made sure to update me with how she was doing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and I was in the loop. I would definitely recommend booking with her to make sure your animals are well cared for :)
morgan was amazing! they took great care of my two cats while i was out of town. they were respectul of my home and kept it clean. my cats were well loved and fed, and the pictures they took were very helpful. i will rebook with morgan if i need this service again!
Did such a wonderful job taking care of our kitties. Photos and a message each time she dropped in were so helpful and reassuring. We will be using Phoebe again when we go out of town, it’s a weight lifted off our shoulders when you know your fur babies are taken care of. Thank you
Ashley did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while we were gone for 10 days. She went above and beyond caring for them. On a super hot day she left extra water bowls out for them, and also thoughtfully took my garbage out that was starting to smell from too many kitty wet food cans. I looked forward to her picture updates each day and she always communicated when something was needed to be shared. Her care and attention to detail was top notch. I highly recommend Ashley and would book again. Thank you Ashley!
