About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs since I was little, I have also taken care of my own since I was a teenager. I have one puppy now who is a year and 5 months who is my best friend. I love all animals. I can help train a bit with basics if need be, am very patient and caring. I am able to take on walks, to the park or just hang out if needed. I can also give baths if they need one. I understand all dogs are unique and have different needs and am willing to help. I currently work part time, Tuesday through Friday. So I will have plenty of time to check in on, take on walks/ to parks and just play with your animals. I can also bring my puppy along for other dogs if you would like so they have someone to play with or just learn to be around other dogs! I can either take care of your pet in your home or in mine if needed. I do have a fenced yard and a puppy of my own. Who is friendly with other dogs and can play/ keep your dog company if you would like. I know how crates work and am willing to learn the routine you have for your animal. (Food/crate/sleeping habits).

“Gemma and her family were so sweet, and took the best care of Rusty. She was kind enough to provide updates while we were away, and he seemed to genuinely enjoy his time there. Highly recommend!”


About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.

About: Hello there! I'm a PhD student at OSU with a passion for animals and a background in understanding their emotions, as reflected in my honors thesis on companion animals. With over 6 years of dedicated cat sitting and dog walking experience, I've become a trusted companion for many furry friends in Corvallis & Philomath. I take pride in my long-term relationships with clients, providing reliable and caring services. Whether it's walking reactive dogs, taking care of cats with big personalities, or handling multiple dogs at once (3+), I approach each situation with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for our four-legged friends. Previously, I worked as a rehab tech at a local stable, where I assisted horses in their rehabilitation journey. I have also worked with animals who required medications or had special needs. These experiences have honed my ability to adapt to different needs and personalities, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm not just a pet caregiver; I'm a friendly, experienced, and trustworthy companion for your pets. Let's create a paw-sitive experience for your furry family members! As a PhD student, my time is flexible! I love spending time with animals and helping owners feel comfortable leaving their pets. I can be flexible, so just let me know what works best for you and your pet(s)! Ensuring the well-being of your pet is my top priority, and I strive to create a seamless experience whether caring for them in my home or yours. To align with your pet's established routine, I'll discuss and familiarize myself with the training cues you use. This ensures that I maintain consistency and reinforce the behaviors that are important to you and your pet. Additionally, I take proactive measures to address potential emergencies. I'll walk you through my emergency protocol, covering all essential aspects to guarantee a comprehensive and well-prepared approach. Open communication and careful consideration of your pet's unique needs are fundamental to my care philosophy, providing you with peace of mind while your furry friend is in my care.

About: “Over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Skilled in feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and providing lots of love and attention. Reliable, compassionate, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs.” I currently work 4 days a week so I have Thursday night through Sunday night to hang out and care for your furry friends. I do get some weeks off so I do have some variability. • Provide a clean, pet-friendly, and fully pet-proofed environment. • Secure indoor space with locked doors, gated areas, and no access to hazardous items (e.g., cleaning supplies, toxic plants). • Pets are never left unattended for long periods; supervised play and rest throughout the day. • Separate quiet area for nervous or older pets to feel comfortable and stress-free. • Familiar items from home (toys, blankets) encouraged to ease transitions. • Regular communication with pet owners including photo and video updates for peace of mind. • Emergency protocols in place: local vet contact, pet first aid knowledge, and transport readiness if needed. For owners home I will follow your protocol to make the environment as close to the pets routine as possible.

“Emily took excellent care of my pup while I was away on a work trip for a week. She sent photos and took my pup for walks, even when it was rainy out. She also gave him his medication. He loved hanging with her dog Brisket & we hope to book with her again soon!”


About: I have owned 5 different dogs in my lifetime, and each one lived to be over 10 years old, I am a “dog whisperer” as some people say because of my ability to connect with them and make them happy! I currently work part time and do this as another part time job. I am available most days in the week to watch your pet! Please let me know 1 or 2 days in advance for pet care, and I will do my best to work out the schedule details! My house is a reasonable size and has a huge fenced yard for your dog to play in. I will make sure they feel at home when you’re gone and get care as you request.

“Total dog people, my pups are so excited to go and come home tired! Accommodated some last minute schedule changes without hesitation! So nice to have a place where my guys are loved and safe.”


“Alexandra is very responsive and responsible. Our sit didn’t work out because of Ziggy’s separation anxiety which I wasn’t aware of until now, but I would definitely trust her with my dog any time.”


“I confidently endorse Maky for taking care of your furry child. She is extremely responsible and responsive. She consistently updated us about our boy and sent numerous heartwarming photos, which were comforting when we missed our furry child. We are thoroughly satisfied with her service and wholeheartedly recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience caring for animals. Growing up on a farm, I worked with a wide range of animals daily, including dogs and cats. My involvement in 4-H taught me responsibility and the skills needed to provide top-notch care. Plus, as a pet parent to two cats, I understand how much love and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. Currently I am working part time and going to school (mostly online) so I’ll have plenty of time to house sit or watch your pets! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to roam. I have two cats in my house but they can be moved if a dog doesn’t do well with cats. I make sure to care for all animals to the best of my ability and to inform the owners on the daily about how their pets are doing!

“We were nervous to leave our cat with someone else for the first time, then we met Zuri we felt confident that Margot would do just fine! Drop off went great. The communication was impeccable. She sent us pics and kept us in the loop at all times. She was flexible and understanding with our schedule changing. Zuri is an amazing pet sitter! We were so pleased.”


About: I have grown up with various animals. Our family has had everything from lizards, hamsters, dogs, cats, and horses. I am a vet student at Oregon State and have had the opportunity to work with many different animals. My availability is flexible and chances are I can be there when your pet needs me. I have class during the weekdays but plenty of time before school, during lunch, and in the afternoon/evening. I would be more than happy to come meet your pets before sitting for them if they are nervous around new people or if you as the owner would like to meet me first! I love going on hikes and walks and being outdoors. If your pet loves these things I am more than happy to go on long walks and if not hanging out at home works for me too!

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey! I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, especially when they’re shy, senior, or have very specific routines.

“Sabrina was amazing! She sent tons of cute pictures. I have never seen Chance worn out before…he’s my energizer bunny! He slept so good the night we picked him up and he obviously had a great time playing with his new friends. I don’t think he even noticed that we were gone! I will definitely use Sabrina again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a few other animals all throughout my life. I had at least one pet in my home ever since I was 5! I can groom, bathe, walk, feed, and care for your pets needs. I am currently a college student and haven’t been around my own pets for a while, so I definitely miss playing with them. I have lots of free time, so I am very flexible and accommodating for all pet care! In my clients home, I’d be respectful of the space and tend only to their pets needs and follow all instructions. In my own home, I have a small apartment that would be perfect for small or medium sized pets to feel comfortable, with a nice grass park right across the street.

Lilia A.
“We hired Lilia to watch Skeet, our guinea pig along with 2 of our Pitbull Furbabies, Vaika'i and Hunnygurl. This was 4th of July weekend of last year, for our son's birthday because we were going to be out of state. Lilia was amazing. She stayed at our home during that weekend because we felt it was best for our furbabies. She paid attention to detail. Hunnygurl is old, so she takes medication daily. Vaika'i is the chillest dog. Skeet needs to have hay constantly. She ABSOLUTELY loves all animals. Definitely recommend.”
