Cat Sitting Tangent

“Brandy is awesome! She is very communicative, sends pictures, and even cleaned up after my kittens’ messes when they were digging in my plants. She is my go-to sitter!”

“This was our first vacation with Rachel as our kitty wrangler. Took her just one visit before our shyest kitty realized she was a friend 😊 We will definitely rebook with Rachel.”

“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”

About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals, I started pet sitting for neighbors around the age of 7. I have a deep love for all animals including reptiles, birds, and spiders! Im in school for psychology, so I have a fairly open schedule and I normally spend a lot of time outdoors anyway and i love to take dogs on walks I am offering multiple walks, feedings, and checkins as needed. I spend a lot of time with my pets, I even have a harness and take my cat on hikes. I have a deep love for animals and I prefer to spend my time with them

“You are such a lifesaver! You come through in every urgent need I have. There have been some crazy moments I’ve had to call on you and so appreciate the last minute booking. Thank you so much. I appreciate you and so does Zeus!”

“Alyssa was wonderfully attentive for the drop-in visits we scheduled to take care of our two cats. All of the instructions were followed precisely and she provided all the photos I requested (worried for a cat who doesn't eat well when we're not at home). She also provided great notes with context of what she observed during her visits. We met for a meet & greet at the house and to go over the care routine, and we were impressed with her pleasant and calm energy which is a must for any caretaker of our anxious cats. She provided not just the requested service but also peace of mind. Thank you Alyssa, we'll definitely be looking to book with you again!! 🙏😸”

“ELIZABETH WAS FANTASTIC! She kept in regular contact and really took good care of our cat, Thank you Elizabeth ❤️”

About: I have been caring for my friends and neighbors pets since middle school. I have also had experience volunteering at the Humane Society in both the dogs and cat departments. I also have experience with blind pets if needed. I am a full time student at George Fox University! I am available any time Tuesdays and Saturdays. As well as Monday through Sunday Evenings. I will always ensure, no matter the setting, your animals will always be protected and safe. This means your animal will never be put into an area unsafe or where something could happen.

About: I've taken care of pets basically my whole life, especially cats, and I've also had a dog for a couple years. I'm always the first person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I stay well read on what's good for animals, from training to helping with anxiety, and I'm always willing to go the extra mile to make sure a pet is happy. They're living creatures who deserve just as much happiness as we do. In terms of training, I've helped a cat retrain to use the litter box after it regressed due to anxiety, working through the root cause rather than just the behavior itself. I've also reduced aggression in animals through consistent training. I'm willing to stick with things for a long time and stay consistent, especially when it's for the betterment of the animal. My life is quite flexible, so pet care fits easily into my routine. I prefer jobs where I'm able to stay in charge of how the work gets done, since that's when I feel like I can give my best contribution. That flexibility means I can adjust to a pet's needs rather than squeezing them into a rigid schedule. When I'm caring for a pet in their own environment, I make sure to respect their space and routine completely, from where they're allowed to go to how they're used to being handled. I pay close attention to safety details like doors, gates, and anything that could be harmful to them, and I adapt to whatever setup the home already has in place.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and clients for the last decade. I have experiencing administering medication as my family dog was diabetic, as well as medications for client’s pets as well. As a college student entering summer time, I have a lot of open availability to hang with your best furry friends! Pet care is an easy fit as I have a hybrid job with extremely flexible hours. I am free throughout the week as well as most weekends! I really do love hanging out with animals, so they receive my full attention!! Safety is a huge priority to having fun and spending time with them, so I remain extremely attentive to make sure they get the best safe care they can!

About: I have house sat for many days at a time for a few different people both in and out of Corvallis. All of the family’s also had dogs that I watched, fed (including medications, special food etc), played with, and walked! I make sure to clean up after myself and the pets (including cleaning food bowls, picking up after them in the yard etc)I make sure to send pictures and keep in touch with family’s about both their pets and houses! I know how sad it is to leave your pets behind for a trip so I try and make it feel like you have them right there with you and you know they are getting the best care:). I have had multiple pets in the past including cats, dogs( of multiple sizes) and the occasional reptile! Currently I have two adorable female cats named Luna and Kitty. I am currently a student at phagens beauty collage Monday through Friday! I would have time all weekend Friday through Sunday to dog walk, house sit, check in on pets, etc. I would also have availability in the afternoons Monday through Friday anytime after seven pm to dog walk :). I am unable to offer care for pets in my home at the moment because I am in an apartment with a few other people however that will be changing soon! I have two cats so any pets that are nice with cats would be allowed! In other people homes (which I have the most experience in) I would be able to feed, water, play with, walk, groom, and clean up after dogs or cats!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have experience in senior and puppy care. I love dogs and have cared for ones of all sizes. I’m currently volunteering so I’ll have plenty of free days and weekends to watch and care for animals. My days are fairly free and I’m open for last second bookings. I have experience in crate training two dogs while providing them with a safe and comfortable experience. I also have a safe fenced yard with two friendly dogs.

About: I've always had pets in my home either cats or dogs and often both at the same time. I grew up on a suburban farm with chickens, goats, sheep, and rabbits. I have experience caring for anything from livestock to aquariums and tanks. Ensuring my pets have always had the highest care has always been a priority for me. I pride myself on keeping my little companions happy, healthy, and loved. I am currently in my off-season so I am fully flexible to fit your needs! I am open for stop in visits or longer term care. I have two cats of my own, each with varying needs. My days are filled with chasing tails, and happy purrs! I am happy to provide individualized care to your furry friends.

About: Hi! I'm a wildlife conservation student at OSU with a lifelong passion for animals, their well-being, and the natural world. My experience working with animals goes far beyond pet sitting! I've worked as a veterinary technician on and off for several years, giving me hands-on experience with animal health, behavior, handling, and care. I've also had the incredible opportunity to work as a zookeeper, caring for a variety of species, as well as working in South Africa for a year, focusing on rescue and rehabilitation and conservation work with a large variety of species! Whether I'm caring for your dog, entertaining your cat, or looking after pets with special routines or needs, I bring years of professional animal experience, patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every interaction. I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal requires individualized care, respect, and plenty of affection. My own dog, Suki, is a very shy and special girl who has taught me so much about the importance of truly learning the language of each individual animal. I know pets are family, and I don't take the responsibility of caring for them lightly. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I can't wait to meet your furry family members!

“Hannah excelled in communicating the details of pick up and drop off, and she also provided excellent updates while caring for my cat. I would definitely choose her services again!”

“Erin was so helpful and exactly what my cat, Jared needed for a pet sitter! Erin’s attention to my pet’s needs and love for animals really shows! 100% will book Erin again, and I recommend Erin to anyone needing a pet sitter!……unless it conflicts with my bookings, ha ha. 😺”

About: I was a veterinary technician (2 years) with experience caring for both small and large animals, and I spent four years rescuing and fostering animals. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic with a strong focus on emergency medicine, so I’ve seen firsthand how quickly things can go wrong and know what to watch for when it comes to your pet’s health and safety. I was a hospital technician for one year, meaning my job was to monitor patients, give medication, and notify the vet to any health changes. I plan to attend veterinary school in the near future, and in my free time I do TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for feral cats and volunteer walking dogs at local shelters. I also minored in Human-Animal Relations, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and how they think. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, and safety is always my number-one priority. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall health, and I will never put your pet in an unsafe situation. Mostly, though, I’m just a HUGE animal lover. Getting to spend time caring for your pet genuinely feels like a treat to me. My favorite dog breeds are probably pit bulls and corgis, but my favorite animal will always be a cat. :) Boarding & Day Care I also have the perfect property for boarding, overnight stays, or day care! I live on a beautiful 5 acre property with 3 acres being a large fenced pasture where dogs can safely stretch their legs and explore. I’m a horse trainer, so I’m on the property every day and your dog will have plenty of supervision and attention. I’m also very careful about keeping dogs separated when appropriate. I do have a very friendly Lab who loves having dog friends, but they only interact if you’re comfortable with it and give me permission. The property has everything a dog could want for a little vacation- large grassy pastures, a creek, and wooded areas to explore. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and downtime. Most dogs leave happy, tired, and ready for a good nap! :) I’m also located less than 2 minutes from Silver Creek Animal Clinic, which provides emergency animal care. I pray nothing ever happens but it is conveniently close. Currently all proceeds are going towards childhood horse’s cancer treatment 😔 she took care of me as a youth so now it’s my turn to take care of her. I recently started my own horse training business, so I work primarily from my property and have an extremely flexible schedule. This makes pet care a really natural fit into my day! I feed and care for my horses around 8 AM and 5 PM, and I spend the middle of the day working and training them. I work with my Mom so she can care for the horses when I need to take care of your pets. During breaks between rides and training sessions, I’m able to spend time with the dogs, whether that means letting them run and play in the pasture, going for a walk, giving them some one-on-one attention, or just hanging out together. Working a horse takes about 45 minutes, where your dog will be left in a covered run where they can potty if needed. Because I’m on the property throughout the day, I can also accommodate early-morning or late-night drop-offs, bathroom breaks, walks, and other schedules that might be difficult for someone with a traditional 9–5 job. Your pet gets to be part of my everyday routine rather than being left alone for long stretches of time. I have plenty of space for dogs to exercise and explore, and I’m able to give them frequent attention throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent routine for my horses. I do not mix dogs and horses! I keep them very separate. Your dog’s stay will feel more like a little vacation than a traditional boarding facility! I have a 3-acre fenced pasture where dogs can safely run, explore, and get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I’m here throughout the day to supervise and spend time with the dogs. I keep all boarders separated from one another, unless you are dropping off more than one dog :) I also have a very friendly Lab who absolutely loves having dog friends, and I’m happy to let her play with your dog if allowed. You can see her in my photos. Otherwise, your dog gets their own space and one-on-one attention. I can get away with the your dog never knowing there is other dogs on property. There are several comfortable options for your pet depending on their needs and your preferences. Dogs have access to comfortable dog mats and fresh water, as well as a covered run where they can go outside and potty even when the weather isn’t cooperating. I also have large, heated horse stalls that can be used as comfortable private spaces. For dogs who are potty trained and comfortable in a home environment, they can also spend time inside my house or have their own room. I’m happy to tailor their routine to what they’re most comfortable with. Oregon winters can be rainy, but your dog won’t be stuck inside all day. When the weather is wet, they can run and play in my indoor arena or barn, which are both warm and provide plenty of room to move around. Most importantly, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and supervision. I’m on the property every day, keep boarders separated, and make sure every dog has fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and attention. Whether they’re running through the pasture, exploring the property, relaxing in the house, or curling up for a nap, I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re here.

“Super clean and took good care of the kitties!”

About: I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and even reptiles. I am currently training to become a dog groomer and I’m taking classes to get my vet tech certification. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to ensure your pets are safe, comfortable and happy with me. I am currently working part time so I have the availability to care for your animals without anything impeding my ability to keep a close eye on them. My house is a large space with a very large fenced in back yard. I have two dogs that are easy to get along with. I have animal gates I can secure if you’d prefer your pets to be separated from my two small pups. I have 3 bedrooms so I can even dedicate a room to just your animal so they have a private and comfortable space.
