Pet Sitting in Umatilla

About: My Pet Care Experience I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family raised a high energy Jack Russell Terrier, which taught me a lot about patience, smart play styles, and managing bold personalities. Today, my fiancé and I share our home with a happy Golden Retriever/Labrador mix and a 2 month old kitten. Caring for them daily keeps me sharp on big-dog stamina, training reinforcement, and the delicate routine needed for a growing kitten. What Sets Me Apart Multi-Breed Comfort: I am equally comfortable with small, fast-paced terriers and large, strong retrievers. Puppy & Kitten Experience: Raising a 2 month old kitten means I am used to active supervision, tracking strict feeding schedules, and managing young pet energy. Owner Peace of Mind: Because I am a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your babies behind. I focus on clear communication and sending frequent photo updates so you know they are safe and happy. My Availability & Schedule I offer flexible daytime and evening care tailored around my weekly class and work schedule. I am strictly available for Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits during the following times: Sunday & Monday: Fully available all day and evening. Tuesday: Available for morning and afternoon visits. Wednesday: Fully available all day and evening. Thursday: Available for afternoon and evening care. And weekends if needed. Because I prioritize the safety and comfort of my own pets at home, I do not offer overnight house sitting or boarding services. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my energy to focused, high-quality walks and quick drop-in care for your fur babies! My Approach to Client-Home Care & Safety Because I strictly offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits, my priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable right in their own familiar environment while respecting your home. For Drop-In Visits (Dogs & Cats): Arrival & Security: I enter your home carefully to ensure pets don't slip out the door. I strictly follow your entry, alarm, and lock-up instructions. Routine & Care: I stick closely to your specific feeding, fresh water, and medication schedules. For cats, I handle litter box scooping and clean up any messes. Attention & Play: I dedicate my full visit to keeping your pets company, offering plenty of focused playtime, scratches, and mental stimulation. For Dog Walking:Safety First: I always check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before stepping outside. I keep dogs on a secure, short leash and avoid interactions with unknown dogs on the street. Weather & Hydration: Living in Florida, I make sure the pavement isn't too hot for their paws, keep walks a comfortable pace, and ensure they have plenty of fresh water immediately when we get back. I always wrap up every single visit by ensuring your home is perfectly locked up and sending you a quick summary with cute photo updates!

About: Hi! I'm Ashley, a dedicated pet lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Friends and family have trusted me for years to pet sit, whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving their pets the love and attention they deserve. I'm a proud dog mom to 3 girls, a 12 year old lab mix, a 4 year old yellow lab and a 3 year old lab/gsp, so I'm very comfortable with large, strong, and high-energy dogs. I understand their need for structure, exercise, and mental stimulation —and I'm always happy to keep up! I also have plenty of experience with puppies and know how important it is to be patient, consistent, and attentive to their unique personalities. My experience doesn't stop with dogs and cats-l've also cared for a bearded dragon and am confident in caring for yours whether it is a turtle/tortoise, fish or bearded dragon. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have a flexible schedule on the weekends and plenty of availability to give your pet the time and attention they need. I also have a reliable vehicle, so I'm dependable and able to accommodate your needs. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated like family. I'll follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free, and your pet will get lots of love, playtime, and attention. I also make sure to keep you updated so you always feel connected while you are away. I work full time with weekends off, with my own adventures, I know how important it is to have someone to be able to check in on your pets. I want to be able to provide that for others. I will keep as close to their routine as possible. If I need to take them on a walk to potty or let them roam their own yard, I will do.

“Ivana was quick to get back to me and was able to accept on short notice. She did a great job with my dog and communicated with me every step of the way. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Krystal was amazing with our dogs. Both are large breed dogs. She managed their unique care schedule with ease and updated us during our mini vacation. Will be reaching back out to her for future needs.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care Courtney provided for our Frenchie puppy and English Bulldog! She is incredibly caring, always punctual, and truly treats our pets like her own. It’s clear how much she loves animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Our pups were happy, well-cared for, and loved every moment with her. Courtney is the best!”

“We are new to the area and were feeling anxious about finding a pet sitter that would be kind and loving to our babies. We could not be happier that we found Jaclyn on Rover and gave her the chance. From our first time doing a meet & greet, she was genuine, honest, and explained everything she would take care of while we were out of town. Our 3 kitties loved her from the moment they met her. She did a wonderful job of sending us daily reports and photos of our babies. She checked in daily through the Rover app, always on time. One thing that stood out was how detail-oriented Jaclyn is and how she paid attention to a subtle difference in one of our cats. She reported that our 17 year old kitty was breathing differently and sent us a video. Sure enough, our girl had an upper respiratory infection and had to go to the hospital for care. We are so grateful we found Jaclyn. She is trustworthy and responsible. More importantly, she loved our babies and our babies loved her!”

“Kacey was a very excellent caregiver to Sophie, as usual! I was able to have so much fun on my vacation knowing Sophie was being well taken care of back home. Sophie appreciated all the pets and treats!!! We will be booking with Kacey again 😊”

Taylor G.

“Carlie was great with my 2 dogs! She showed up timely, sent detailed notes for each drop-in and loved on my girls when I couldn’t be home to do it myself. She came in to let them out to potty, feed them and provide medication to one. Even my little skittish baby liked Carlie soon meeting her!”

“Becky did a great job caring for my cats! I really enjoyed the updates and pictures, it kept my worries at bay. One of my cats is a senior on meds and has some special care needs. He was happy and alert upon my return making me a very happy cat Mom. Becky was great to work with, I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again. Thank you Becky and Rover for the service!”

About: We come from a loving pet family and love meeting new ones. My name is Mike, my wife is Ruby, and our son Lincoln, who is now in the Navy. We treat our two dogs like children. There are toys all over the house to play with and whenever they are tired they lay on our recliners or couch to sleep. We are able to follow any schedule and can provide medication if needed. Your loved ones will be treated like family ❤️ I will provide hands on care such as playing, walking or anything extra required. There will always be either myself or my wife at home. I work during the week days but my wife Ruby is home during the day. During the weekends we both are home. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by that we can walk to. Our two male dogs are neutered and we will only care for one family's pet(s) at a time.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 15. I’ve been in the vet field for 2 years and I have sitting experience for about 3 years. I love all animals I am currently a vet tech at shamrock hospital! Im currently working full time at a vet office. I am available any day of the week before, and after work. Even on lunch. The weekend I am always available! I am available for walking and stop in visits. When taking care of my own pets, they are like my children. I do everything for them. When I sit for clients I make sure I treat them as if they were my own.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was about 10, from farm dogs to show horses and almost anything in between. Currently I have bearded dragons, sugar gliders, dogs, cats, a rat and a tortoise. I don't shy from much haha I have a very flexible schedule so my day depends on what I want to accomplish. At home, the dogs have me up by 6:30 for breakfast, so mornings aren't an issue When I sit your pet for you, it's like you never left. Your rules, your routine. Tell me how you would like it done, and it will be!

“Holly did a great job caring for our beloved cat and chickens. They got plenty of attention while we were gone. She even went to extra step to bring in our mail.”

About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.

“Lauren was great to deal with ! We will use her services again when we return to Mt. Dora ! Thanks Lauren!”

About: I have lots of experience caring for neighbors and friends pets - dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs! I do have a cat of my own so I would prefer to care for animals in their owners home, however my availability right now is completely open! I recently graduated from nursing school and am awaiting my boards exam, and am looking for some opportunities for cash in the meantime! I worked at a veterinary hospital for eight months during my time in nursing school, and absolutely love animals of all kinds. It fits perfectly for me at the moment, as I am mostly spending my time right now studying for my boards exam. I do prefer to care for pets in their owners home, but I do have full availability, at least for the next few months! I have a cat who suffers from stomach issues and is on a special prescription diet with supplements. At my apartment complex there is a dog park, and plenty of space to walk dogs. I am free to stay in an owners home to care for their pets and walk them as many times as needed. I am also very good with communication!

“Lisa is wonderful with our dog and 2 cats. I trust her completely , my house, my animals are all well and in excellent care. I would and will recommend her for anyone who needs her care . I’m so glad I found her... so much better to have your animals at home and relaxed rather than being in a kennel.”

About: I have been involved in working with animals on a providing-care basis since I was around 12 years old. I began through petsitting my neighbors dogs when they would go out of town. When I began college I got a job working at our local petstore which taught me so much more about caring for pets. I have also dedicated plenty of time to volunteering with animal shelters and fostering pets till they find their forever home. Now, I have multiple pets of my own and love any and all pets I have ever come across. I am currently a full time remote employee so I work from home M-F each week 7-4pm. Thankfully, working from home allows for flexibility and time with your pets the majority of the time. I am flexible with scheduling and I am happy to work with you and your pet to meet any needs or requirements that you may have. I currently live in a house with a large fenced in backyard where pets can run and play. I have pets of my own, 2 dogs. They get along great with each other and they all love other animals- cats and dogs alike. I am surrounded by great hiking trails, great parks, and more.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. What started as my own quickly transformed into me neighbors and families as well. I can cut toe nails, bathe, walk, etc! I currently work from home and go to school but I can definitely care and love on your pups and cats (and any other animal). I love all of them - big and small! I have a fenced yard with my own friendly dog that loves to make friends as well. I can also crate your (or my) dogs if needed with a crate you provide. I’m currently working part time so I have tons of time to look after your pets. I’m about to go on maternity leave as well and so my complete attention will be turned to working from home with odd jobs! I have a fenced yard and a very friendly pup to keep your dog company. I have a couch for dogs to lay on and a dog bed.
