About: Hello, I work as a caregiver and an am CPR and 1st aid certificated along with having professional experience in medication administration. Most of my pet experience comes from having my own pets as well as helping to care for family pets while growing up. I grew up helping to care for the geese and dogs and as a teen, I had fancy rats, a cat, and a (family) dog I was responsible for. As an adult, I have my own pets and believe in positive reinforcement training with my cats and dog. I administer my own pets medicine as needed as well as do most of their grooming myself. When I'm not at work caring for others, I enjoy spending time with my pets at home and out in nature and the community. Please check my calendar for my availability. As a caregiver, I understand the importance of a clean, safe space to live and work in. I clean as I go and always do a room check before and after cleaning to ensure I got everything. When out in the community, I always check my surroundings and am mindful about what's on the ground and what's going on.

“You will be happy with this dog walker, she is everything that you are looking for to feel at ease while away! Five star 👍”

About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!

“Sarah took my large golden doodle Finnegan for weekly walks over the last seven months. She was always professional and easy to work with. Finnegan loved his walks with her. I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Sarah!”

About: I have trained my own dog to be a good citizen canine as well as a service animal. So I have experience teaching dogs to sit, stay, leave it lay down, as well as other commands. And hope to be able to use this training to help with your dog or puppy. Ever since I was young I've had a real affinity for animals and they're really drawn to my sweet and caring nature. I can be a bit shy at first but you won't regret giving me a chance to help your pets out. Right now my schedule's pretty open any day of the week as long as I can get to address have a driver license,I look forward to getting to know more dogs and spend time playing with them. I'm not currently working so I have as much time in the world to spend with your dog and to make sure it gets its daily exercise and other basic needs. I have unfenced yard , will always take precautions and have leash on a dog when taking it for potty breaks I do have a dog of my own he is a service dog for a living but I can always kennel his to keep your dog safe or put him in my bedroom.

About: I have always had an affinity for animals, and have always had them in my life. My first dog was a keeshound mix named Katrinka, since then I have had a wide variety of animal friends, from ferrets to horses. As an adult I worked as a vet tech and organic dog treat baker These days I am a working artist and have fewer animals, in the interest of being able to travel and create. Pet sitting allows me to enjoy the company of a wide variety of animals, without the long term commitment. In addition to pet sitting in your home, I am available for daily drop-in visits to get your pup out for a run, change litter boxes + water, or just give them some company while you are at work. I am currently available for pet sitting in your home, as well as dog walking, chicken tending, and related animal services. As your surrogate I'll maintain your pets's routine, in the comfort of their home, with compassion & respect. I am a working artist, which affords me much flexibility in my schedule. Whether your pet needs a quick mid-day check-in, or a comforting presence 24/7, I enjoy helping support people give their animals their best lives. Thank you for taking the time and attention to read about my services before you propose a booking with me. I bring over a decade of diverse experience working with and caring for animals; I offer a patient, compassionate, attentive care to your animals and your home. When housesitting, I seek to create a seamless experience in caring for your pet by maintaining their routine, and having fun with them while doing it. I seek to go “above and beyond” in my services: watering houseplants, and gently caring for your home as if it’s my own sacred space. Your home will be clean & welcoming for your return, and your pets will be content and well cared for. I greatly appreciate details, as they are am essential piece of giving them the specific and individualized care for that they & you deserve.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always loved just being around animals. While I'm away from home, I'd love to spend some time with dogs and help give them the best possible time I can! I'm a college student, so my schedule shifts a bit with the seasons, but pet care fits in easily either way. Over the summer, I'm home essentially all day, every day, so I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins whenever they're needed. This fall, I'll be taking classes again, but since they're online and my schedule is very flexible, I'll still have plenty of availability throughout the day. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I've spent a lot of time caring for others' animals and understand how much consistency and attention matters. I'm happy to work around your pet's existing routine, whether that means a set feeding schedule, a mid-day walk, or just extra company during the day. Since I offer dog walking and house sitting/drop-in visits rather than boarding, most of my pet care happens in the client's home and neighborhood, so I always make safety and comfort a top priority there. Before any visit, I like to get a clear understanding of the pet's routine, any commands they know, leash behavior, and specific instructions from the owner. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of traffic and other animals, and avoid unfamiliar areas that could pose risks. For house sitting and drop-ins, I treat the client's home with the same care and respect as I would my own, making sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are refreshed as needed, and any medications or special routines are followed exactly as instructed. I also send updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for while they're away. At my own home, I have a fenced yard and no other pets or young kids, which makes it easy to give a visiting dog calm, focused attention with minimal distractions or safety concerns.

About: I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Utah weekly for 5 years with both dogs and cats where I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and needs. Last year I moved to Oregon to pursue my undergraduate degree (go ducks!) and I’m so excited to bring my experience and love for animals to caring for your pets!! At home in Utah I have two dogs (Millie and Iroh) and a cat (Luna) and have been caring for them for the past 5 years. Iroh has epilepsy and anxiety so I am experienced with handling animal medications and special needs. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I'm currently in school at University of Oregon but do not have a job outside of that so I have a fairly flexible schedule. Typically, I am in class from 12-5pm, which means I’m available to spend my mornings and evenings with your pups and kitties! My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment. I’ll follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other care they need. I will treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own.

About: Hello, my name is Kasi. I have two kiddos, a husband, two dogs and a parrot named Turkey. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works full time in automotive, so I figured this would be a nice way to make some extra income. I have over 20 years of experience with all different types of animals and love working with them. I have a great communication as well as a solid work ethics. I have a very flexible schedule and the adhd to keep up, haha. I am a go getter so the animals and even garden care/ house sitting is just the thing to keep me on my toes and meeting new faces! I like to give a postcard to each client with all contact information for myself as well as my husband. I also request that all clients do the same in return. I like to have a full rundown upon the meet and greet to really get to know one another. I keep a clean and well maintained home and yard for the safety of the humans and animals. If services are taking place in the clients home, I will ask a book of questions just so I can feel undeniably confident in moving forward.

“Linda was prompt, responsive and very friendly. My dog loved her after one walk. I will definitely book again!”

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals and have been providing pet care for many years. I have administered medication orally and have some experience with injections for cats. I work with dogs, cats, etc. of all energy levels, though I specialize in senior care and will accommodate my pace to any pet personality! I’m currently in college so I mainly have availability in the evenings but can do earlier depending on the day, and weekends all day. I follow the instructions given to me exactly as requested and I send updates of your pet through message and photos. I pay close attention to the pet’s needs and provide lots of love and comfort for them. If I am uncertain about anything, I ask for clarification to make sure I am properly caring for them.

“Alondra is amazing! One day our dog got out while we were at work, she was so level headed and helped us tremendously in getting him home. We really appreciate Alondra. She’s been wonderful.”

Claire S.

“Jacqueline has been patient and wonderful with our anxious dog, who always takes time to get used to strangers unless we are dropping him off at a doggie daycare. Greatly appreciate her calm energy with our boy and look forward to continuing to work with her.”

Rowan E.

“Jules is very kind and was receptive to all of the little specificities I include in our walks. Jules seemed comfortable with my little dude right off the bat, and they had such a fun walk! By the time they got back, Hog was giddy about Jules. He’s very fond of his new friend! Also a huge plus, little mans was so happy with his walk he napped for like half an hour on the floor next to his bed 😂 Hog and I will be making walks with Jules a regular thing, and we’d highly recommend that you do too!”

About: I’m here to give you some piece of mind while you’re away from your pets. With a pup of my own, I understand how important it is for your pets caretakers to be reliable and conscientious of their needs. I’m happy to take them for a walk or just drop in and give them some company and play their favorite games! My current schedule is very flexible and I work from home for the most part. This gives me the opportunity to work around any kind of walking or pet care schedule and really prioritize your pets needs. I have a 12 year old dog and live in an apartment so my place isn’t the best for hosting other pets. I can only care for pets in their homes.
