Personalized care for your dog or cat - Bitter Lick

“Easy 5 stars. Abigail was awesome! Great to work with, great with my pup. I needed to pop up north for the weekend and am so thankful I found her. Ranger had a blast being watched. He was played with and cared for really well. I recommend Abigail to anyone in the area who needs a trustworthy dog sitter.”

“I had never left my dog for more than a night, and was super anxious about it. Trisha was incredibly kind and reassuring which helped a lot! Communication was great and I could tell my boy was taken care of!”

About: We have 3 dogs of our own and watch pets for friends often. Family friendly home with 3 male dogs sure to entertain and befriend your furr babies. I am currently a stay at home father and my spouse works from home as well so we are a in home hands on family throughout the week. 1 of the 2 adults will always be in the home. My front and back yard are both fenced in and seperate from each other allowing for seperration during feedings or if otherwise needed. We have 2 large kennels also if needed for overnight stays or we welcome you to bring whats familiar to your furr baby. I'm a stay at home father whom rarely leaves the house. We stay outside mostly working around the yard so eyes on pets is not a problem. I have a fenced in yard with sections I'm able to seperate if needed. I also have 3 individual crates if necessary for separation during feeding. A dog door to allow access inside and out whenever desired.

“Review is for cat boarding. That sounds like a sport but you get the idea - my cats stayed with Kaelin, who had generous availability on short term notice. 2 cats, 6 nights, 0 problems. Kaelin is an absolute gem. Pre-stay she held a call to learn the specific needs of my cats and throughout their stay she picked up on components of their personalities I didn't even think to share. One of my girls is considerably shyer than the other, but Kaelin made consistent and ultimately successful efforts to engage each cat in a manner comfortable for them. Her patience calmed my shyer cat and her energy and thoughtfulness invigorated my more excitable/curious cat - she picked up on beneficial ways to interact with each of them that could not have been covered alone by what I shared with her pre-stay. Kaelin is clearly someone who has a profound understanding of and deep appreciation for animals, and she takes seriously how much they mean to us, her customers. Kaelin paid incredible attention to detail, was able to tailor every aspect of their stay in ways beyond what I requested, and she provided consistent updates with photos and videos of the two, often focusing on activities she intuited that I would be wondering about (How is shy Summer utilizing the space and responding to interaction? How is playful Autumn being allowed to explore and see outside? etc.). Through the way she was engaging with my girls and seeing how they, in turn, responded to her, it is so clear that Kaelin approaches her work with immense passion and care. It put me at ease throughout my entire trip, and it was clearly an excellent experience for my girls as well. Cannot recommend highly enough, will absolutely be a return customer.”

“Cherie has been absolutely wonderful with my cat who has some special needs. She sent me pictures or a note every day. She has done such a great job I decided to have her take care of him for the second part of my trip I’d had family lined up for. Took my worries away!”

Tami R.

“Jordan did a great job with feeding, and giving Bella some love. I will be contacting again if I'm in need. Very much appreciated.”

“Jessica came early to meet my cat and me, which I’m sure helped him feel comfortable when she arrived for house/cat-sitting. Thank you for the photos!”

Pamela S.

About: I’ve never personally owned a cat, but every time I see one I spend about 20+ minutes hanging out with them! Definitely would love to hang out with your kitty!

“My cats loved Joannie! The two of them usually run and hide but they came out for her and played with her too. Joannie did a great job and cared for my cats as if they were hers. I already rebooked!”

Renee C.

“Kaelin was awesome taking care of my kitties! Plus she took better pictures of my older cats then I ever could. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve always lived around animals my whole life. From house pets to farm animals. I love all animals and love caregiving for cuddly, furry friends. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets. Weekdays are best for walks; weekends for runs. I aim to care for your pet in the best way you deem fit. I am eager to learn your situation and your pets routine so they are comfortable while you are away.

About: I've taken care of many dogs. I have trained puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. Very well versed in all things dog related. I currently own my own business and work for myself. So my schedule can be open anytime to fit the needs of my clients schedule. I have a fenced yard on 7.5 acres. I have one very friendly bordoodle and two cats. I am also very aware of dogs needs and keep a good eye on them.

“Camille was really flexible and willing to roll with things as the timing for my trip changed a bit. She provided updates and photos and she had some great play sessions with my cats! Will definitely be having her back!”

Rebecca H.

“Kristina was wonderful! She kept us apprised of how everyone was doing daily which was great. But most importantly, the cats were happy with her. She was able to medicate those on meds the first day - which for a bunch of indoor/outdoor cats and someone they don’t really know is amazing. We also had to make some last minute changes in our plans (because ice) and she was completely fine with that. We also loved that she had experience with chickens and exotic birds as we may be adding those to our family. We very much hope to work with her again.”

About: I grew up with every kind of pet imaginable, from snakes to bunnies, dogs, horses, parrots and more. Love all kinds of animals and have tons of experience caring for any kind of non-human baby. Looking for a job I can do without going into the office! I have A newborn baby and love that I am able to do this with him. He comes with me on all our walks in his carrier so hopefully that is not an issue for you or your pup. Whatever requirements you have for your fur babies I will meet! I can provide long walks and lots of affection for your pets and make sure their needs are always met.

“Rachel did an outstanding job. She communicated great, and seems genuinely invested in her care of animals.”

About: Hi there! I’m Heather, your dog’s new best friend. 🙂 As a lifelong dog lover, I know that every pup has their own unique personality, quirks, and routines. Whether your dog loves cozy cuddles or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to detail, so you can count on regular updates, plenty of photos, and genuine care for your furry family member. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is in loving hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet, I’d love to get to know you and your pup! I am currently teleworking from home most of the time. I am only out of the home for a couple of hours at a time a few days a week, so your pup will get lots of love and attention.

“Shelby took great care of my Princess and Lil’ Dog. They are older puppies and can be quite a handful and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone to watch them, but she managed them with ease. They came home tired and slept the rest of the night. They will definitely be back next time we need another sitter 😊”

“Danielle took great care of our Benito while we were hiking at Crater Lake! I appreciated all the photos and updates! Highly recommend!”

About: Until 2 years ago I always had a pup in the house. I have since lost my lab and golden retriever due to old age and miss the companionship of a dog. That being said, I have taken care of dogs in all stages of life from puppies to seniors. I also care for my family and friends pets when they are off on holiday. I'm retired and enjoy being home and working in my yard, so I have lots of time to enjoy and spend time with your fur baby. I have a large backyard with room to run. I do have an inground pool and koi pond. My yard is completely fenced and shaded. My property backs up to a school field where we could go for walks and runs. I have the room and ability to crate if necessary, but prefer to have them be free and a part of the family.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and have been around all breeds for as long as I can remember. Caring for them has been a part of my life from the beginning, and I’m comfortable meeting the needs of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I currently work part time and like to do fun other side things like babysitting and taking care of your fur babies! I have a bunch of time and availability so I can fit whatever schedule you need! Even if you work overnights I can still come! I follow whatever your fur baby needs! Crate training etc! I can take them on long walks and administer medication as well, I’ve worked and been around all ages and have plenty of experience on what to expect!

About: I grew up with animals on a farm and have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember, from having extra large dogs in the home to taking care of friends dog while they're on vacation etc.. I love doing treat inspired training as well as interacting and talking with the pups I'm very flexible and can take dogs of most demeanors. Trust your doggo will tell you what a good time they had when you see them! I currently work from home 5 days a week as an artist and spend a lot of the day taking care of my current dog Spirit. We spend a lot of the day outside playing in the 1/2 acre of fenced woods and do dog park trips to Medford every few days. I have a large house and fenced yard as well as 1-2 VERY friendly dogs here regularly. All dogs are allowed indoors and on furniture as we see them as friends here! Doggos are normally allowed to roam free indoors or out but i can also crate your dog if that's how they are trained. We do minimal treat inspired training with new dogs so everyone can learn the rules around the house!

“Kaelin was amazing with our 10 week puppy Midnight!! Midnight is shy around new people but warmed up to Kaelin quickly and had the best time playing and hanging out with her all day, I know that we’ll be booking her again as soon as we can especially since she sent pictures and updates to us that really helped our anxiety with leaving her for the first time!!”

About: I have done pet sitting for over 5 years which include boarding, housesitting and dog walking. I have also cared for cats, chickens, exotic birds and baby goats (bottle fed). I have cared for elderly pets, seizure pets and have no problem with giving medications. ****If you are requesting housesitting, I do have a small easy-going chill dog that likes to come with me if you are ok with that. He gets along with all dogs and cats alike. I do request that we have a meet and greet prior so as to ensure you are comfortable with me in your home and with your pets. I work remotely during the day. So I would be with your pet(s) for the majority of the day. They would only be left alone a few hours on occasion for errands/appointments and such. So they would get plenty of potty breaks, love and attention while you are away. I will care for you pet(s) per your instructions. While at my house they will be allowed on furniture and my bed for extra cuddle time. They will be given plenty of walks and playtime!

“I last minute needed a new dog walker for my two pups, and Jordan was able to jump right in and become that awesome, trusted, & reliable person we needed. He is great with my two high energy dogs, and we appreciate all his care, help, & time.”

About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals for years—whether it’s my own cats, friends’ pets, or family’s furry, scaly, or feathery companions. I’ve got hands-on experience with everything from feeding and playtime to administering medication and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. I’m expanding my pet care experience because, let’s face it, I just can't get enough of animals and need more to care for. Whether your pet is a dog, cat, bunny, or even a reptile, I treat them like my own—safe, loved, and happy. As a teacher, my weekdays are pretty packed, but I’m available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I know how important your pets are, so I’m happy to fit visits, walks, or cuddles into my schedule whenever I can. Once summer rolls around, I’ll have a lot more flexibility and will be available most days, as I’ll be staying in the valley for the season. Your pets will get the love and attention they deserve, whether it’s a quick visit or a long weekend stay! I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, where your pets feel most secure and at ease. I’ll stick to your pet’s usual routine, from feeding and playtime to any special care needs like medication or extra cuddles. Since I have two cats at home, I’ll make sure to give your pets my full attention while I’m with them, and I don't bring my cats along—this is all about your fur babies. I treat your home like my own, making sure everything stays neat and your pets feel loved and safe in their own environment.

About: I've taken care of different animals my entire life. Grew up with them in our family home. Our family has a soft spot for rescues. The newest member of our family was a ferral kitten who needed bottle feeding, because his mommy died before he was even eating solids. We have always talked to our animals like they were people. Each animal has a personality, and it doesn't take long to get to know them. I currently work flexible hours as a door dash delivery person. I have great availability most weeks. So the likely-hood of being available is pretty good. I am very attentive to my pets, spend a lot of time with them, and make sure they feel loved. Also very attentive to changes in character and food needs. This is something I bring to any petsitting experience, because I care about every animal's wellbeing.
